Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening.

Sweet Harmony Live Music: serving your local area nationwide! 
Rating: 5.0 (88 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $420
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin

DJ Peter Piper 
Rating: 5.0 (23 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.

We hired DJ Peter Piper to emcee our wedding and we were 100% delighted! Pete is not just musically talented, with an impressive collection of songs & a great taste - he also knows how to read the room and adapt to the crowd's mood. He got everyone up and dancing which is a key ingredient for a successful wedding/reception! He is also a careful listener and takes great care to represent certain songs/genres that you like while avoiding the ones you do not. Finally, I really appreciate Pete going above and beyond to record the party mix & make it available to us as an MP3; that is a wedding memento we will always treasure and enjoy. Hats off to DJ Peter Piper!

A few songs into a friend's wedding in the Catskills and my husband and I turned to each other and said, "Wow, this guy is good. We need to have him play at our wedding." True to our word, Lucas was hired and did an incredible job mixing our favorite music at various stages of our small wedding to create a cohesive and special night. No cheesey wedding songs, just the vibes we requested done the Lucas Walters way (disco, electronic, some class 1960s folk and chanson... perfection).

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.

From the beginning, the team was so communicative and easy to work with- we loved the way they built our set list using our taste of music, while still allowing us to be surprised on the day. The musicians are each amazing and so versatile, and they did such a great job keeping the party going and the crowd engaged! My husband is a musician and surprised me by playing two songs at the reception- the GFA team was so helpful in coordinating this surprise and bringing his vision to life. We truly couldn’t imagine our day without GFA. They are an absolute must book!!!

I’m Marcel, a cellist and founder of Velveteen Ensemble | Curated by Marcel. Since 2014, I’ve hand-selected musicians to create unforgettable wedding moments. I believe live music transforms a ceremony or cocktail hour into something more meaningful than words — it’s about amplifying emotion and making memories that last a lifetime.

Marcel and his quartet performed at my wedding ceremony and for our first dance. They were remarkable. 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.

Gemma, who owns Luv’d Up DJs, was our DJ for our thirty person wedding recently and is my new favorite person on the planet. She is so talented, and really knows exactly how to engage a dance floor or get everyone to pay attention to something important (LOL). She absolutely killed it on wedding day — every song was perfect, she was so adaptable, and so engaged in the day. We didn’t stress at all about music knowing she was there!! Our dance floor felt like a bigger wedding because she was locked in on keeping everyone dancing — I don’t have many pictures because everyone was busy dancing but they had our crowd of accountants MOVING. That’s no small feat!! It’s also important to note that she was just as awesome throughout the planning process! We are indecisive people who have attended very few weddings, and she helped us through every decision. I cannot say enough how much better she helped us feel!! We were on the fence about having a DJ for such a small wedding and she was perfect. She fit right in with our guests and curated the perfect vibe. All the sound for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (three separate locations!!) went so smoothly. I would make Gemma my emergency contact if I could. You will NOT regret booking Luv’d Up for your event!!

  • 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
If you are currently wedding planning and debating between the elegance of live musicians or the versatility of a DJ, stop looking and hire Justin and Skylark Music immediately. Working with Justin was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. With Skylark, we effectively "had our cake and ate it too." We were initially torn because we wanted the romantic atmosphere of live instruments, but we also wanted a high-energy party with our specific favorite songs (which a band is often limited by). Plus, full bands are insanely expensive. Justin offered the perfect hybrid solution. We were able to have a stunning guitar, violin, and cello trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then transition to Justin DJing the reception. It was the best of both worlds—we saved on the cost of a 10-piece band but sacrificed absolutely nothing in terms of quality or vibe. Beyond the music itself, Justin’s professionalism is unmatched. He walked us through every step of the planning process. But the true test of a vendor is how they handle stress. A couple of months before our wedding, our venue suddenly updated their outdoor music guidelines. We were in a total panic, thinking our ceremony plans were ruined. We let Justin know, and he responded immediately with a calm, "can-do" attitude. He adjusted the instrumentation to meet the new rules quickly and sorted it out without us having to lift a finger. He also went above and beyond to personalize the evening. We have a close friend who is a singer, and we wanted her to perform a couple of songs during the reception. Justin didn't hesitate; he coordinated directly with her to ensure the audio levels were perfect and the logistics were seamless. It ended up being such a special moment, and Justin made it happen effortlessly. And then, there was the party. Justin transitioned to MC/DJ duties and read the crowd perfectly. Because we chose the DJ route for the reception, we got to hear the original versions of all our favorite tracks. The dance floor was absolutely wild all night long. The energy was so high that at one point, while we were taking portraits outside, our photographer actually stopped and told us, “There is literally a rave going on inside.” From the elegant strings and the special guest performance to the absolute rager at the end, Justin executed everything perfectly. If you want a stress-free experience and a vendor who truly cares about your day, hire Skylark Music!
