We couldn't have asked for a better DJ experience. From the moment we booked Kelton, he was extremely attentive and communicative. He helped us plan the structure of our day and musical choices. On the day of the mixing of the ceremony was seamless, even on a windy day, and his choices on the dancefloor were exactly as needed. I highly recommend this team to every couple!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

The Hook Club 
Rating: 5.0 (119 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands. Owned and operated by a tight-knit community of musicians, they are known for their attention to every musical detail and the professionalism they bring to every event. Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Hook Club made our wedding dreams come true. My husband is Dominican and I am from New England, and therefore we were looking for a bilingual band that could play a very wide range of music - from American wedding classics, to Pop, to Reggaeton, to Merengue, to Bachata — and a group that could MC the evening in Spanish and English, and bring the energy to keep the party going.  We went with Hook Club’s 7 piece DJ Band, and they were above and beyond fantastic. They curated a setlist that somehow, despite the wide range of music, flowed together and was cohesive. I can’t express enough how talented they are vocally, instrumentally, professionally, and as performers. The dance floor was absolutely lit; even my brother who was on crutches and had a torn labrum couldn’t stay away. It makes me tear up thinking about how much energy, positivity, and happiness they brought to our night — they will always have a special place in our hearts. They are also true professionals - the planning process was easy, they were prompt in all communication, and on the day of they handled venue-related hiccups with grace. They were the first vendor to arrive to ensure a thorough set up, and the last to leave.  They are truly such a special, one of a kind group, and I cannot recommend them enough. Of all the many decisions we made in planning our wedding, choosing THC was by far the best decision of them all. Although our wedding was back in August; our friends and family are still talking about The Hook Club, exlusively referring to them as “ the best wedding band they have ever heard before”. We had a fairly diverse crowd in terms of age, background, taste in music and their ability to please that wide range of people is a testament to their talent. THANK YOU TO THE HOOK CLUB !!!

Awarded Best of Zola
The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

DJ Peter Piper 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Music has always been my way of connecting with people. I’ve spent years DJing weddings and private events where the right song changes the whole room. I love working with couples who care about how their night feels and want their guests to feel included and alive in the moment. I do this because there is nothing better than seeing a room full of people celebrating together to music that feels like it was made for them.

There truly aren't enough stars. If you're having a wedding (or literally any life function at all) and want your guests to have the absolute best time dancing, browse no further. In addition to making sure all was smooth on the sound for our ceremony, Peter was the legit heartbeat of our reception. From curating an excellent and eclectic dinner mix to editing our (unique) first dance song choice down to perfection to keeping our friends nonstop dancing from forks down to the 1am tail end of our afterparty, there's nothing this man can't do. On top of that, he'll do it while dancing and vibing out as hard as anyone, and bringing wamrth, kindness and collaboration at every step. He also truly lives up to the Peter Piper-ness of his name. Every moment I was convinced I needed to call it and rest, he knew just the perfect song to make you pivot right on back to the dance floor and keep going. All of the glowing hype in every review is so real. Brb, hitting up my HR team to see about getting him at our holiday party.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucas knows his stuff but also makes a point to know your stuff just as well. He sees the big picture of your wedding day and is beyond generous with his knowledge. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to schedule time with him leading up to the wedding. We had several video calls and he was always calm and confident as we dished him all the stress we could manage. He knew just what to say to ease our tensions with any part of the process and was helpful on all fronts, not just the music. Imagine a young Rick Rubin who’s going to make your day happen through fierce professionalism and calming holistic approach. Day of, Lucas was there early and making sure all the gear was working and problem solving on the scene to make the experience even better than we had talked about. He was able to not only have the music playing through the two large speakers we had planned for outside, but also got it seemlessly hooked up to the speakers throughout the interior space. This was key, because we had to last minute move the whole wedding inside due to rain. It was priceless to see see Lucas problem solving all of that with plenty of time to spare because I had so many other things to worry about with the shifting rain plans. I knew I didn’t have to worry about that whole part of it though, and the quality of the sound throughout the day really smoothed over all of the last minute adjustments and helped make everything feel like it was all part of the plan. It was a perfect day beyond my wildest expectations, and Lucas Walters was a huge part of that.

They made suggestions for songs as well as listened to our request on the overall vibe we wanted to created for our wedding reception. All of that was achieved.

Gillian was an incredible part of our wedding day, and we truly can’t recommend her enough! From our first conversations, she was communicative, thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping us create a ceremony and atmosphere that felt personal and meaningful to our family. One of the most special touches was that she incorporated the song that was playing when I proposed to my husband into the processional music — a classic yacht rock ballad that somehow she transformed into something absolutely gorgeous and cinematic on piano. It all felt very “us” in a way that’s hard to describe unless you experienced it. As a gay couple, it also meant a lot to work with someone who felt like such an inclusive, affirming, enthusiastic partner in our big day. Gillian brought professionalism, polish, talent, and genuine care to every interaction. She made the process easy, stress-free, and joyful, and her music elevated the entire celebration.

Their playing was the perfect touch to personalize the feel of our wedding, and remains a fond memory to this day. The synchrony of the cello notes to the my first dance that my husband and I choreographed is something that people still talk about to this day.

Jay Murch was fabulous work with. He was a professional, his app is amazing and helped guide Megan and Brandon with how to select songs all the way through the preceremony to the end of the reception. There was even a place to provide their comments or special memories for particular songs, so that Jay could share. The photo booth was a huge hit too! What was most important to me was that everyone loved the music and Jay and commented during and after the wedding with how great he was and the music. The lighting he provided was the finishing touch! If you are planning an event, check out his work and take it from a music buff, he is worth it!!

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Skylark Music 
Rating: 5.0 (50 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
From our initial conversation, Jesse made my husband and I feel completely at ease. We came in with a lot of questions (and, admittedly, a fair amount of overthinking) around song choices and overall vibe, and he met every single one with patience, understanding, and great recommendations. On our wedding day, Jesse and his ensemble were nothing short of incredible. The live music didn’t just fill the space, but set the tone. It elevated the entire atmosphere of our wedding in a way that felt deeply personal, warm, and elegant—perfectly calibrated to who we are and what we wanted the day to feel like! Beyond the artistry, the level of professionalism was unmatched. Completely dialed in, Skylark made everything feel effortless (which, as a couple getting married, is a true gift). We honestly can’t imagine our wedding day without them. Their music made the day what it was. If you’re considering working with them, do not hesitate. It will be one of the best decisions you make!
