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

  • 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!

Cheers!

The Showmance Band, a jazz ensemble with a penchant for covering a wide variety of music from the 1920s and Gatsby-themed tunes, recently graced the stage at a wedding event held at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey. As a vendor at the event, I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing firsthand the immense talent and showmanship of this exceptional band. It was clear from the outset that the Showmance Band had the crowd at their fingertips, as women were grabbing their husbands to dance and people were soaked in sweat from the sheer joy of dancing to the group's infectious rhythms. With their world-class musicianship, impeccable attire, and undeniable physical attractiveness, the players exuded an effortless cool that left the audience enraptured. What impressed me most about the Showmance Band, however, was the remarkable cohesion and tightness of their performance. They were clearly a well-oiled machine, each member contributing their unique musical voice to create a seamless, electrifying whole. This level of musicianship can only be achieved through years of dedicated practice and a deep understanding of one another's strengths and weaknesses. At the heart of this incredible ensemble is the band leader JB, whose spectacular performance was truly a sight to behold. With his captivating presence and dynamic energy, he commanded the stage with a confidence and grace that is the hallmark of a true musical master. In my years of attending live performances, I have never encountered a more exceptional and engaging live performer. In short, the Showmance Band is a jazz ensemble that represents the very pinnacle of musical excellence. Their performance at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking an unforgettable musical experience.

My husband and I wanted some low key live jazz music during our wedding reception, and Thomas coordinated the perfect combo for us, a bassist, saxophonist, and drummer. It was simple yet classy, just as we wanted, and the musicians were top-notch. He also put together a playlist for us and played “Canon in D” on the violin during the ceremony. Thomas’ professionalism and attention to detail really made an impression! He was meticulous and thoughtful in the way he planned out and executed the music component of our wedding, it truly made our guests and the entire experience all the more memorable and elegant.

A Metro Wedding

As a homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJ, I allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. With an elegant & refined approach, I accommodate any eclectic flavor and curate a tasteful wedding celebration all based on your musical preferences. 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! He has a calming yet excited energy that made us confident that he’d be the perfect wedding DJ from day 1, even when our plans and vision were still all over the place. On our wedding day, Joe helped everything run smoothly, from coordinating with other musicians, setting up the mic for the toasts, through, obviously, making sure every single guest was having a blast at the dance floor! Several guests commented on how friendly and fun Joe was! We highly recommend Joe to any event!!!

My now-husband and I knew (before we were even engaged!) that we wanted these guys to play our wedding, should we get to that point together. Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing. I can honestly say that it could not have gone better, nor could we have enjoyed it more. I highly recommend this group of talented musicians.
