We had a great experience hiring Seductionz Soundz for our PA wedding. Kevin was very responsive and professional right away to our requests which is why we chose him. The preparation was easy and straightforward via email and phone. The day of the event, everything went perfectly. We were particularly happy with some of Kevin's suggestions such as the table dash photos (which are so great to have) and all the guests rushing up to us on the dance floor, which was really fun and made for great photos. Our guests said the MC and crowd work from Kevin was something they'd never seen before and really enjoyed. He was so great at getting the energy up on the dance floor and keeping it that way all night. I highly recommend him!

DJ Dan Fudim 
Rating: 5.0 (46 reviews)
New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Offer

After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music. It is awkward MC moments, dead air, generic playlists, and a dance floor that never connects. My style combines real wedding experience with NYC nightlife instincts: live mixing, clean announcements, calm planning, and room reading that keeps every generation included without making the night feel forced.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Dan, I felt this incredible sense of calm. I’d been told by others, “Your DJ will just do whatever they want”, but I quickly learned that Dan is different. He listens, really listens, not just to what you say, but to the things you don’t even realize you’re communicating. He takes those details, both spoken and unspoken, and uses them to craft a wedding experience that feels so personal, you’d think he’s known you for years. Dan’s kindness is the kind you feel, not just in the way he treats you, but in the way he treats your day. He takes his job seriously because he understands it’s not just about music; it’s about moments. And he works tirelessly to protect those moments. There are countless things he does behind the scenes that you’ll never even know about, all to make sure your day runs smoothly and exactly how you dreamed. Our wedding was especially tricky as we were blending Italian and Egyptian traditions, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all flow naturally. I told Dan how important it was to represent both cultures equally while also capturing us as a couple. He didn’t just nod and say, “Got it.” He researched. He planned. He asked thoughtful questions. He made sure every transition made sense, every song had a purpose, and every moment felt intentional. With Dan, you’re not just getting a DJ. You’re getting a guide, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart. You can ask him about things that have nothing to do with music— timeline issues, vendor suggestions, tricky wedding-day logistics—and he’ll give you honest, experienced advice because he truly cares about the big picture, not just his part in it. On the day itself, Dan wasn’t just playing music. He was quietly orchestrating the energy of the room. He made sure our guests were always engaged, that the dance floor was never empty, and that the flow of the night matched our personalities. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the music blended our two cultures and one friend was literally Shazamming song after song because every single track was that good. Also, if you’re debating about a photo booth, DO IT and book it through Dan. The quality was insane. Everyone loves a photo booth, but these were hands-down the best photo booth shots we’ve ever seen at a wedding. Other agree.Crisp, vibrant, and so much fun—our guests are still raving about them. Dan sends you all the photos taken throughout the night and my husband and I keep going through them. It’s so fun to see our guests having a great time. Dan wasn’t just our DJ. He was our advocate, our cheerleader, and our behind-the-scenes hero. If I could give him 100,000 stars, I would. If you’re lucky enough to have Dan Fudim available for your date, book him immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make.

The live musician team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provide me and my clients with any type of musician requested — from ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond. Their response time is incredibly fast, and their knowledge of music and event flow is outstanding. Tara, who runs the team, is truly the best. She works extremely hard, can find any musician I need, and consistently responds in under five minutes. As an entertainer myself, having a reliable and organized music team is everything — and my clients absolutely love her musicians.

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 did an amazing job as the DJ for our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse! Prior to the wedding, we completed a worksheet on the timeline and our song preferences, and then had a planning meeting with him where we went over all the details and he gave us advice on flow and timeline based on his extensive experience DJ-ing weddings. Through all our interactions, we could tell how detail-oriented and experienced he was. The Prospect Park Boathouse can be a tricky venue with its short load-in time and long, narrow layout, but Marcus knew it well and planned accordingly. We also had a Vietnamese/Chinese wedding; in addition to a DJ, we also had a pianist with a singer, and a bilingual emcee. This added some complexity in terms of timeline and switching between the singer and the DJ, but Marcus coordinated well with everyone, kept track of the timeline, and handled all transitions between live music and DJ sets seamlessly. He also showed up a little early to make sure all equipment was set up well and did a mic check during the cocktail hour. During the dance portion of the night, the dance floor was packed all night and people did not want to leave! He played all the songs we wanted (along with additional ones he selected) and all the transitions and mixes were fantastic and kept the energy/vibe high. Many guests commented on how great our DJ was! Even though we had a different emcee, we know that Marcus would have done a fantastic job as an emcee as well - he is warm, friendly, gracious, and charismatic. He is not only a great DJ but also a fantastic human being!

BOOK. THIS. BAND. You will not regret it. We booked a solo violin for the ceremony, 3 piece jazz trio for cocktail hour, and a 7 piece band for the reception. Silver Arrow Band brought all the energy and more to our wedding. They followed our do's and don'ts perfectly and were great at reading the crowd. I am not exaggerating when I say that every single guest told us that Silver Arrow Band was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. Guests were mad that they didn’t have them at their own wedding. Our dance floor was packed all night. I wish I could get married again just to experience it all over. Please book them.

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.

Hiring the Metropolitan Players was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. It was clear from social media and videos that they were an excellent band, but what really made Met Players stand out was how incredible they were to work with from the second we reached out to them to our wedding night!! Erin was so amazing to work with and by far the nicest and most accommodating vendor I have ever worked with! They truly go above and beyond to make sure the day is everything you want it to be and understand how integral the band is in the execution of a wedding. They were INCREDIBLE!!

DJ Peter Piper 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
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.

Working with DJ Peter Piper (Peter Toussaint) was one of the BEST decisions we made!! We literally lost count of the number of people who told us afterwards that Peter was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard! Guests of all ages loved the mix he created and he had an amazing intuition for which song should come next and how to perfectly blend them together! People were on the dance floor literally the whole night and it was a blast getting to dance with everyone for such a long time. Peter was punctual, communicative and friendly throughout the whole process. Before the event, Peter had several calls with us, just to make sure he totally understood the flow of the evening and was happy to make any announcements we requested throughout the night. We gave him two Spotify playlists in advance, and he played many of the songs we suggested while adding several other songs we hadn't thought of ourselves but fit our vibe perfectly. It's also clear he LOVES his job and his energy and enthusiasm was infectious as he danced along in the DJ booth. We really hope he will be DJ-ing at other weddings we attend, because he certainly knows how to set a phenomenal vibe and throw an unforgettable party!!!!

  • Band or Ensemble

Around Town Entertainment is an exclusive, full-service entertainment company specializing in live music entertainment with featured bands and orchestras for all events locally in New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey. Around Town Entertainment has also performed nationally and abroad.

My wife Sara and I truly could not recommend Around Town more highly. They were absolutely phenomenal from beginning to end and completely exceeded every expectation we had. As someone who has played musical instruments my entire life (piano, violin, and saxophone), I can honestly say I was thoroughly impressed with their musicality. The singers were powerful, polished, and incredibly engaging. The instrumentalists were tight, dynamic, and clearly at the top of their game. Every song sounded intentional and expertly executed. They didn’t just play songs, they performed them, and it was very clear they have worked with each other countless times as a team. They kept the dance floor packed all night, reading the room perfectly and sustaining an incredible level of energy from start to finish. Beyond their talent, they were amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were responsive, organized, flexible, and genuinely invested in making sure everything reflected exactly what we envisioned. They made the entire entertainment process seamless and stress-free. Our venue had a somewhat unconventional room layout (dining room and dancing room were slightly separated by a foyer in between), and they handled it flawlessly. They moved musicians around throughout the night so they could be heard clearly in different spaces, which made a huge difference in maintaining the energy across all the rooms. That level of awareness and adaptability really stood out. One of the most unforgettable moments of the night was when they surprised us by performing Che La Luna fully in Italian. Our guests went absolutely wild - the room erupted into singing, dancing, and celebrating - it instantly became one of those magical wedding moments, and I'm sure our family and friends will remember it for years. It felt so personal and so special. If you’re even considering booking Around Town - please do it! They are world-class musicians, consummate professionals, and they made our wedding unforgettable! We truly could not recommend them more!

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

45 Riots were exceptional - they MADE our wedding! The entire team at 45 Riots was so professionaland helpful throughout the process leading up to the wedding day. They gave us a clear outline of their options and went above and beyond to make our musical dreams come true. When we expressed our love of Latin music and reggaeton, they worked with us to arrange a classical Spanish guitarist for our ceremony and a Spanish-speaking singer for a Latin/reggaeton set to cap off the night on the dance floor. Above all, they gave an absolutely killer performance. Every musician was a star. I haven’t heard voices that incredible in person ever! They read the room perfectly and paced out the genres to ensure everyone was up on their feet. We also truly appreciated them turning the volume lower for the dinner portion, as a few of our loved ones are hard of hearing - it made a big difference for our guests to hear each other over the lovely music. Can’t recommend 45 Riots enough. As a dancing fiend, it was an absolute dream. A few texts we woke up to from our loved ones: “Still cannot get over that band - so insane.” “One of the best bands I’ve ever seen at a wedding in 67 years of weddings! Everyone danced from start to finish.” “My God, that band was so talented. Haven’t danced like that in years!” “One of our favorite wedding bands of all time. We had so much fun!”

I love curating the perfect soundtrack for each event, reading the crowd, and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels like they’re part of something special. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or private party, I’m excited to create unforgettable memories!

One of my favorite DJs of all time! She always plays the right music to get me out on the dance floor and having fun. She creates the most fun atmosphere mixing in nostalgia with the songs of the moment. When DJ Sunnyside is playing you’re never dancing alone.

Alex was a total hit at our wedding! We had some specific songs we wanted to play - and he did - but we mostly trusted him and had a saying leading up to the wedding: "let Alex cook." And cook he did. A good dance floor was important to us (my wife LOVES to dance) and he couldn't have delivered a better dance floor vibe. Alex is a total pro from start to finish but doesn't have that generic, sometimes cheesy "wedding DJ" vibe. He picked up on our taste and played exactly what we had in mind. We also booked a saxophonist through Alex and WOW was that a hit. The sax player (also named Alex) was a high energy, high vibes addition. Totally recommend asking AE about that.

We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!! We ended up booking Sound Society as a three piece string arrangement for our ceremony and as a 10-piece band for our reception with emcee duties and they hit it out of the park. Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night. A month later and we are still getting compliments about how alive our wedding band was! I spent two solid hours grooving on the dance floor and have no doubt you would do the same if you booked Sound Society.

Our kids loved engaging with her on the piano, learning and hearing live version of their favorite music. Her musical talent is truly exceptional—she seamlessly plays across classical, jazz, and pop genres. It’s not easy to move between styles so effortlessly, yet she perform it with mastery! Her presence elevated our atmosphere, making the celebration feel both elegant and deeply personal. We’re so grateful to have had Gillian be part of such a special day.

Craig and Anthony were very professional. We had several meetings over zoom and they were helpful and affordable. 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. Our guest was up and moving on the dance floor and in their chairs before the night was over. They were timely, professional and helpful.

Carol and the A Starry Night Music team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Carol understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life on the dance floor. She played our carefully curated song list at exactly the right moments, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. It was incredible and we had the best time! Carol's ability to read the room and play music that matched our unique style, which is a little outside the box, was truly impressive. We highly recommend A Starry Night Music for any couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding celebration.
