Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C

5.0

Astoria, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art

We are so happy with our experience with the Hook Club DJ band and happily recommend to others. The team is organized, communicative and we knew we could rely on them on our wedding day. In this industry, its easy to feel taken advantage of by vendors once you've signed the contract, but the Hook Club was a joy to work with every step of the way. Above all, the band is incredibly talented and brought great music and positive, fun energy to our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests and the band did a wonderful job bringing the dance floor to life! We appreciated that that the band tailored their performance to our personal and cultural music tastes, playing a mix of Western and South Asian music per our request. They also did our uplighting and beautifully lit our ballroom - the photos looked fantastic! We hope you get to experience the Hook Club at your wedding too!

Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sweet Harmony did an exceptional job with live music for my wedding ceremony. However, I must say (Judith-captain of quartet) that Sweet Harmony brought my vision to life through music. The goal was for the wedding ceremony music to tell a story of overcoming trials and tribulations and overcoming all to achieve victory and finding happiness. I can honestly say that the goal was overwhelmingly accomplished by Sweet Harmony and their team of talented musicians. Judith and her team of musicians were artists. Their performance of Goodbye Brother was emotion invoking and endearing. Truly an awe inspiring song brought to life. The Light of Seven was exceptional. The Rains of Castamere performance was strong. Not one dry eye in the wedding ceremony. A masterful and world class performance. My guests were truly entertained and Judith took everyone in attendance on a emotion packed journey. From sorrow and loss to victory and triumph. From overcoming tremendous trials and tribulations with dignity and integrity to finding happiness in family and the love of my life. I can go on and on about Sweet Harmony but all I will say is that my only regret is not being able to listen to every single moment of their performance and to experience the emotional journey they took everyone on. Truly a remarkable experience. Thank you Tara. Thank you Phillip and thank you Judith for everything.

Marcus Ho Dj

  • DJ
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

A 16-year veteran of the NYC club scene. I collaborate closely with couples to create their unique musical experiences for themselves and their guests by delivering a Sophisticated Savoire-Faire of seamlessly blended hits from past decades to what's currently in vogue; citing T-40 Dance, House, IndiePop/Rock, Nu-Disko, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Crossover Reggae and Crossover Latin as some of my favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Marcus Ho is the best DJ and one of the best (if not the best) vendor we worked with for our wedding. He was extremely professional, communicative, and played fantastic music. He answered me same day when I had initially started reaching out for DJs and his initial email had a good amount of information I needed, including cost, packages, and other details you are looking for with a DJ. Also, Marcus not only did his DJ duties, but was able to MC as well for us. We weren't looking for an over the top MC - like the ones who do too much on the dance floor. Instead we were looking for someone who was able to make the proper announcements and also keep the hype up, which Marcus was great at! The whole process of working with Marcus was extremely painless and wonderful. He was very fast with answering emails and addressed any questions we had. We had 2 meetings - 1 initial introduction meeting, which immediately after I knew he was the DJ for us, and a 2nd meeting a few weeks before our big day to discuss details. Marcus provides a worksheet for the couple to fill out with Wedding party details, music picks, etc. It was very detailed and during the 2nd meeting, we discussed it in detail so he is able to ensure that your day goes well. He also above and beyond to contact the venue for our wedding as I believe it was his first time working at our venue. He wanted to make sure that he would be able to set up properly for cocktail hour and reception, and he did so without me having to be involved at all (all I needed to provide was the contact information). Marcus was also able to work on the fly with accommodate a last minute change we had to our wedding and it went off without a hitch. I had emailed him the evening before with the change and on the day, he was 100% able to make sure it was taken care of. Marcus is not one of those DJs where you give him a list of must plays and he takes them as suggestions. He does his best to play everything that you want played at your wedding. We had so many requests that I was worried not everything was going to be played, but after our 2nd meeting, he ensured us that we could even provide a few more songs, which was fantastic! Right before our wedding, he provided his mix of songs he was going to play for our guest arrival and cocktail hour. All the songs he picked fit the vibe that we were going for. On our wedding day, he played all the songs plus some more that went perfectly along with the songs we requested. He read the room and knew what our guests would love dancing to. We had a ton of fun, and our guests seemed to have as well - all thanks to Marcus immaculately curating the vibes. DJ Marcus Ho was such a wonderful person to work with and we were extremely glad to have chosen him to DJ/MC our once in a lifetime day. You should definitely use him for your wedding! PS - One additional detail I did not want to leave out, as it may be important for some people looking for wedding DJ/MCs - initially, we had thought about having a bi-lingual Chinese/English MC and Marcus was able to provide some names he worked with. Ultimately, we did not go with that option, but having the connection was extremely helpful.

Hiring Golden Bell was the best decision we made for our wedding day!! We got married outside in Hood River OR and Golden Bell music was the most insanely perfect addition to our day. The wedding planning process can be overwhelming but Chris was so cool and calm and made it all a dream come true. Our guests (& venue employees!) could not stop raving about them either! We gave Chris a general idea of our music interests for the evening and he totally nailed it- everyone was having the best time on the dance floor all night long. These folks aren’t simply incredibly talented musicians but you can tell they truly love what they do- they brought the best energy and my favorite part was when they got out on the dance floor and joined in the fun while jamming along with our favorite songs. Golden Bell was easily the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process and I cannot recommend them more highly!!!!

We hired Zach to be our DJ after he was recommended to us by another vendor. We are so glad we did! Zach brought to life the vision we had for the music, energy, and vibe of the whole night, from ceremony to reception. He used the specific music we wanted for certain parts, and made it all flow seamlessly. The sound was really good in the space. And the DANCING, wow!! Guests kept coming up to me all night saying how good the DJ was and how they had never danced this much at a wedding before! He used the music we wanted and filled in here and there with other choices, but the way he transitioned and flowed from one into the next kept people moving and excited! People are STILL talking about how fun the dancing was. Also, during the toasts, he was able to play a special request audio that my brother gave him with like no warning and made it work perfectly without glitches and with perfect timing. He totally went with the flow when there were changes with the timeline, and was great with the mic. Zach basically killed it at our wedding and we could not recommend him more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brennan and Cooper Union were the defining feature of our wedding (other than our love, of course). Cooper Union is not a wedding band, they are a full-scale production extravaganza. Motown, pop, soul, rock & roll—they do it all and they’re doing it WELL. The sound is BIG. I’m glad we got the full band—3 vocalists, full horns section (literally could not imagine going without). Aside from his incredible on-stage presence, Brennan was an absolute dream to work with — personable, kind, funny, and passionate. I felt like we were old friends from the moment we first spoke on the phone. Cooper Union made our wedding unforgettable. I am not exaggerating when I say I danced the whole time. They even covered an electronic song to perfection for our first dance. If you’re like me, and wedding planning is not your favorite, and you want to tick a box off the list, look no further—you can’t go wrong. Best decision you will make.

We hired Elevation Band for our Wedding at the Kimmel Center on 5/18/24. I could write a novel on how amazing they were but will try to keep it brief. They are professional from start to finish (Lea was awesome to work with) and make your entire night from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception of the highest quality. The band is the perfect mix of amazing vocalists who complement each other so well and other top quality band members. The dance floor was packed all night to the extent the dance floor was shaking at one point. The ballads at the beginning of dinner service were breathtaking. We had multiple people come up to us saying they didn't know we were having Adele at our Wedding (shoutout to Emily for her amazing ballad). I could write something on each member because they are that good!! We knew we wanted an awesome band as that can make your wedding and Elevation did not disappoint. That is all anyone talked about all night, the next day, and all of this week. Don't think twice about booking them. If you have the opportunity, you must book them while you can!!

As homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJs, we allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. We keep things simple and straightforward so you can focus on the most important part of it all — marrying your partner, soulmate and best friend. What you won’t get? A stereotypical, cheesy DJ stealing the spotlight and breaking up the music with bad jokes and unnecessary interruptions. You deserve better. Expect a personal and individualized celebration with great music, precise attention to detail and a fun-filled dance party — all based on 15 years of wedding experience.

Joe was a pleasure to work with before and during wedding day. Great communication and assistance to make sure we were all set to record audio for the wedding video, and he was a great DJ that kept the whole crowd dancing and moving throughout the reception. Highly recommended!

Hiring Gerald for our wedding was an easy decision when we heard his music. But we were not expecting someone with the level of professionalism and kindness that Gerald brought to the table.

www.45riots.com 45 Riots is a modern collective of first-call performing, recording, and touring musicians, operating with resolute focus, attention-to-detail, veteran experience, and artistic verve. Live music entertainment!

To put it simply, you have to hire 45 Riots. It is not an exaggeration to say that every person at my wedding came up to my parents, my husband or I to say this was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. I'm in the Broadway community, and my husband's father is a professional musician, so that's high praise coming from people who know music! From start to finish, they were great about communication and getting to know our tastes. At the wedding, every song was a hit and the dance floor was packed. They were great about reading the room and handling all our formalities, including ceremony music and cocktail hour. Additionally, they had no problem learning songs that we wanted that weren't on their Song List. My husband's father is in a well-known rock band and 45 Riots learned a 7-minute long hit song of theirs to play with my father-in-law & brother-in-law. To say that performance was epic is an understatement. They completely rose to the occasion and our guests were floored. I can't recommend 45 Riots enough! Thanks for everything, guys!

We booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone.

With a DJ style thats both engaging & appropriate at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

Kevin DJd our NYC wedding in October. Best choice ever! Aside from, “congratulations,” “tune!” was probably the most shouted word at our wedding. Our entire wedding (pre-ceremony mingling and drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing) took place in one location - a restaurant. That put a lot of pressure on the music since we needed to set and maintain a tone while tuning the energy for different phases of the evening. Kevin nailed it. From the first meeting, he was creative, collaborative, responsive and kind. We didn’t start with an exact vision for what we wanted, so he helped us refine our “brief” by asking thoughtful questions about us, our guests, etc. He proactively went on two site visits to our venue to meet the events team, understand the space and optimize speaker placement. He requested to come to our rehearsal (in the pouring rain) to ensure he hit certain music cues for our processional. I mean, above and beyond. In the end, he concepted and created the most PERFECT mix, which took us from café music and crooner vibes to yacht rock to the club. He played all our favorites, but it didn’t feel cookie cutter, and he mixed everything in a way that kept people excited and on the dance floor. We loved working with Kevin from start to finish and hope we have another excuse to work with him in the future!

I don't think a single person at our 10/14/23 wedding received more compliments than DJ Steff. And there's no one I'd be happier to share the spotlight with. To put it simply - DJ Steff is amazing. At every phase of planning -- from our introductory call to walking through the event portal to wedding weekend - DreSteff Events was a dream. DJ Steff was patient, kind, thoughtful, collaborative, and incredibly responsive. He took time to know our specific music tastes, pet peeves, and personalities to bring our wedding ceremony reception to life in a way that felt uniquely us. He found all the songs we wanted to use -- no matter how obscure. The music mics at the ceremony were flawless. The cocktail hour tunes were on point. Our uplighting - both during dinner and when the dance floor was in full swing - set the room perfectly ablaze. And he DID NOT MISS with any of the reception music. All night, we heard: "WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS GUY?" "YOUR DJ IS AMAZING." "I'VE NEVER DANCED SO MUCH AT A WEDDING." I cannot rave about DJ Steff enough.

Thank you for your interest in J.Entertainment LLC event services. If you're searching for a very smooth emcee with great DJ mixing skills then look no further. Are you worried about professionalism? I graduated from Rutgers University in 2009 with a Degree in Business. After graduating I turned my passion for DJing into a full-time career. Are you worried about experience? I have been in the wedding industry for over 10 years. I take great pride in planning and performing at weddings. I'm available to speak with you about your special day whenever I'm not DJing.

Where do I even start? Jay was so easy to work with! From the start he helped us guide through the process of what we wanted. We did not want anything fancy. All we wanted was a DJ to help hype up, play music, and had experience at our venue. Jay was the perfect match! Everyone tells us how good the DJ was at our wedding. He played the best songs and listened to all our requests. We could not recommend him more!

Whether your tastes are mainstream or offbeat, general or specific, Stylus DJs take the time to listen, to ask questions and to make suggestions while curating a custom soundtrack to one of the most important days of your life.

If you want to have an amazing dance party at your wedding, book DJ Mariko! She delivered our theme “bangers only” with a creative mix of songs and played a crucial role in giving us our dream wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests, including one who exclaimed “I guess we are going to have to bring DJ Mariko to every party going forward!” She was great to work with from day one - super organized, very professional, prepared for every meeting, and had a great way of getting to know us so she could set the right mood and pace for our wedding. There was never a moment - from the cocktail hour, to the dinner, to the two dance sets, where we weren't delighted with her song choices. She was excellent at reading the room and getting everyone up dancing and kept the energy high all night. She thought of so many little details that made planning easy, and still made a point of checking in with us and the venue night of.

Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities! Your event is right around the corner... Get amped and GET AMP!

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

We are extremely happy that we selected the RedBrick Duo to play at our wedding. Jess and Damien were phenomenal. We spoke with them multiple times prior to the wedding to go over our song choices. They sent us multiple samples so we would have an idea of each song that will play at the wedding. At the ceremony our guests were in awe when Danielle walked down the aisle to Goo Goo Dolls "Iris". At our cocktail hour, many of our friends started to sing out loud the lyrics to the songs being played. It was one of our favorite moments of the wedding. They were also super friendly. We waited until the last minute to book them and could not be any more happy with their performance.

  • Serves Long Island City, NY

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

We hired Honey & Vinyl for our wedding and liked them so much we had them back for our anniversary party. Honey has an amazing voice and spent time with us to not only create a personalized song list but also understand the "mood" we were trying to create for our events. The group's performance at both events was nothing short of spectacular and really added the extra "wow" we were seeking.

Mount Kisco, NY
  • DJ
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

Everyone will remember 3 things about your wedding: the dress, the food, and the music. Music is the power and energy of the party. My clients don't want a corny DJ who tells dad jokes and plays the Chicken Dance. My clients want a professional DJ who can read the room and has the talent to fill the dance floor. I provide an eclectic mix of top 40, 80's Motown, 90's hip-hop, a sprinkle of early 2000's pop, EDM, oldies, and everything in between. From classics to contemporary, I pack the dance floor!

Luke is an amazing DJ with a level of professionalism rarely seen in the wedding industry. A real balance of keeping the party rocking with a touch of class. Highly recommend working with him!!
