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.

The Hook Club 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500

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 !!!

Sweet Harmony Live Music: serving your local area nationwide! 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $420

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

Marcus Ho Dj 

5.0

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,950

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, Disco, Latin and Reggae as some of my favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marcus DJ'd our wedding this past weekend and he was the best DJ we could ask for! We had an initial consultation with him to align on what we're generally looking for, completed a "worksheet" with all the music and MCing details and any specific songs/playlists we wanted played, and then a final meeting to review the day from top to bottom. Marcus was communicative and easy to reach with any questions during this time. On the day of the wedding, he came several hours ahead of time to set up and prepare. During the wedding, Marcus played all the music from guest arrival to reception exactly how we envisioned, and MC'd all of the entrances, first dances, guest photos, etc. exactly on time and without too much fluff, which is what we wanted. Later, he played a great set of 2010s-2020s EDM and hype guest favorites that got the dance floor lit, and with great mixing and transitions too. Highly recommend Marcus if you're looking for a wedding DJ who's very skilled/experienced and just really knows music (not your average wedding DJ)!

DJ Dan Fudim

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Offer

Most couples don’t realize how much the DJ shapes the entire feel of their wedding , not just the dance floor, but the ceremony, the toasts, the energy in the room all night. That’s why I don’t do formulas. I start with a conversation. 14 years DJing nightclubs , rooms where if the energy died, people walked out. That instinct is what I bring to your wedding. I treat every one like it’s the Super Bowl. Before logistics, I want to know what’s in your car. What you never want to hear again. Then I build around that. When you book me, you get me.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I were searching for DJ's for our wedding, we were immediately impressed when we got to Dan's website. When we met Dan in person at an open house at our venue, the choice was made even easier. Dan represented himself and his company as professional, experienced and polished. He came across as a real and heartfelt guy who is just really passionate about what he loves doing, something we've found rare in our past experiences with DJs. As we began our music journey with Dan, he was consistently in touch with us with reminders, suggestions, playlists, timelines and was always ready, willing and able to take our questions and provide valuable feedback. Dan listened to our needs as a couple and really got to know us so he could make personalized recommendations, such as a private first dance so that we, as introverts, could have a few moments alone on a wonderful but overwhelming day. On the wedding day, Dan made sure every detail was ironed out and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Our wedding was phenomenal and every guest we spoke to had an amazing time! We would highly recommend Dan for any event and we are confident that he will surpass your expectations!

The Met Players were absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding on 2/19/22. Not only were they incredibly gifted performers, but their ability to read the crowd was phenomenal.

Matty was our wedding DJ earlier this year at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY. Leading up to our big day, Matty was very communicative, responsive, and helpful towards coordinating everything music related for our wedding. It was super simple to upload songs for specific times, chapters of the night to his music app, and we were able to coalesce our aspirations with his expertise while planning together. It was an awesome collaboration! So it was no surprise that we, along with all our guests, thoroughly enjoyed the tunes and vibes that Matty tailored towards each chapter of our special day. From the wedding ceremony, to the art gallery cocktail hour mix, to the main event during reception, he definitely helped make our day be the greatest it could be. We couldn't recommend him enough for your special events!

DJ Peter Piper

New York, NY
  • DJ

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!

He’s provided creative services and musical direction for weddings, international conferences, corporate events, retreats, films, some of the world's most beloved nightclubs, and underground music events and festivals.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucas was recommended to us as "the DJ you want to hire if you want someone you can trust to keep your dance floor full and to read the crowd to keep your party going," which immediately appealed to us. We live in Brooklyn, and got married in the Catskills, and found out that Lucas also DJs regularly at some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. From our first contact with Lucas, he was responsive, kind, interested in getting to know us and our taste, and super professional. We connected on a personal level as well as on a musical one. Now, having had Lucas DJ our wedding and supply all of the audio equipment, we can't recommend him highly enough. The audio for our ceremony and speeches worked without a hitch (he also helped to professionally feed our ceremony audio/music into our livestream setup), Lucas knew exactly the right moments to take cues for music, and when the dance party began, he played great music that totally matched our vibe and tastes, and as promised, he kept the dance floor full all night (no small feat, especially because we downsized our wedding to 60 guests). In addition to being an excellent DJ, he's also a great guy to be around, and on your wedding day, it's really nice to feel like you are surrounded by people you want to spend time with. Multiple people came up to us to ask about Lucas during and after our wedding, because he was that exceptional. Hire him and you will be so glad you did! Couldn't ask for more in a DJ.

We recently got married in Upstate New York and had the absolute pleasure of having Chris and the 4AM group play at our reception. From the very beginning, Chris and the entire 4AM team (Janice included!) were incredible to work with — thoughtful, organized, and an absolute pleasure throughout the entire process. Music was a huge priority for us; we wanted a nonstop dance floor and something that felt modern, high-energy, and a bit different from a traditional wedding band. Chris and team absolutely nailed it — they exceeded every expectation. We didn’t leave the dance floor once (and neither did most of our guests!). The music was a true highlight of the night, and our friends and family still talk about it to this day. We also added a few instruments, which made it even more incredible — Caleb on the bongos, Spencer on the sax, and Nadia on the electric violin. They kept the energy electric, and we had an absolute blast dancing and interacting with them throughout the night. Chris is a pro in every sense of the word, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had him play such an important role in our wedding. Thank you for making our day nothing short of perfect!!

Ana & Jimmy were in a different league from the moment we met them. On our first Zoom, they listened to everything I said about our taste and our vibe… and then gently told me that our beloved saxophonist idea didn’t match anything we had described. They recommended a guitarist instead— and thank goodness, because they were absolutely right. Their planning process was incredibly thoughtful.. and for me, hilarious. Their music surgery? Thorough and genius, and apparently visible to them before you hit submit. Which meant they saw me type things like “Haed pass,” “No thank you,” and “What even is that??” Live. Thankfully, they have incredible senses of humor. They checked in multiple times, did a full site visit, and showed up with a sound team who stayed all night to make sure everything was flawless. They even coordinated our private outdoor first dance with our violinist while sending the music inside to guests — seamlessly. But the reception is where they catapulted into untouchable territory. They don’t just sing and DJ… they perform. Including: * the full, committed N’SYNC “Bye Bye Bye” choreography * A Blink - 182 elder millennial scream-along that transported us back to 2003 * Coming onto the dance floor to hype everyone * Interacting with guests like they’ve known us forever. I don’t dance— and I was on that dance floor all night. Our guests are still texting us about how unreal the band was and we’ve heard “best wedding I’ve ever been to” on multiple occasions. My only genuine disappointment is that the wedding is over and I don’t get to hang out with Ana and Jimmy anymore. Hire AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID. Thank me later

Good music at a wedding is SO important & Around Town Entertainment made my entire night/life! I didn’t leave the dance floor all night, they were INCREDIBLE. Every song was better than the last (if that was even possible). The only time they stopped the music was during speeches, to keep the party going. Your wedding reception is really only a few hours, so having nonstop music that goes with the flow of the evening made the night that much better and really elevated the event. Adam and his team were a pleasure to work with. They answered all our questions and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision to hire them for our wedding day!

45 Riots 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

45 Riots is a modern NYC wedding and event band, boutique live music entertainment company, and independent record label. Based in New York City, 45 Riots provides hand-crafted live ensembles for high-end weddings, private parties, and gala corporate affairs, delivering an energized concert experience with top-tier musicianship and a genre-blending, DJ-style flow that keeps dance floors packed.

Top Takeaway: Hire them! Hire them! Hire them! Prep Process: We loved working with Manny and Angelica throughout our preparation process – they completely heard us in our likes, dislikes, desires, vibes, must-plays. We needed a band that would play music that spoke to both of our families’ tastes, sensibilities, and cultural reference points, and they more than delivered. They selected the perfect musicians and vocalists to thread the needle on Motown, classic rock, R&B, soul, funk, and “Songbird” to boot. Christine McVie’s spirit was conjured in that ballroom. Investment & Value: “Whatever you’re paying this band, it’s not enough,” my uncle said at our wedding. Every person – Every! Single! Person! – came up to us and gushed about how simply unmatched 45 Riots is. You want a song? Any song? They can do that song. They can do that song better than the original. One of my best friends works in the wedding industry – he did 28 weddings in the 2025 season – and he said 45 Riots is the best band, hands down, he’s ever heard. Friends asked if 45 Riots gave concerts, because we would all go. We would’ve danced for four more hours if they let us. Creative & Execution: You’ve never seen a band song list so long. We could’ve had five wedding receptions with the number of songs we wanted to hear. Tell them what you want, sure, but seriously, trust the professionals! Whatever they come up with will be better than anything you could’ve dreamed of. Our 11-piece band played nonstop, flowing from one song right into the next, running mash-ups that got the crowd going crazy. Have you ever done a Soul Train into a Hora into Boots on the Ground? Well, 45 Riots has, and it ruled. They completely fed off of our crowd – they built synergy with us that ratcheted up throughout the night. Our only regret is that it had to end!

The Brooklyn Beats is THE BEST wedding band you will ever work with. Seemless planning, thorough communications and the absolute best time on the dance floor. They navigated the venue and last minute setup issues with ease and brought the house down with their performance - not a lull in the dance floor for one moment, everyone was truly dancing the night away! Would hire them a thousand times over!

Cheers!

I can’t believe how lucky I got with JB. He really came in asking what I wanted, I told him what I liked and he pulled together the most incredible selection of musicians, playlist of songs and order of service. My husband wanted a few obscure film scores in the ceremony, and JB not only knew them off the top of his head, he arranged them all for strings! I didn’t know what music I wanted for the recessional so I just told him what kind of thing I liked, but that I’d prefer something unknown. He pulled out three amazing options. Literally every wildest dream I had, he delivered. I even played him an old English comic song which I knew my parents would love, and he ROCKED it. I loved working with him, he’s such a professional and music is clearly his life. Showmance were a real highlight of our wedding preparation, the day itself and now of our wedding video and photos. I’m just so delighted that we found him!
