Absolutely thrilled with Luv’d Up! From the moment the music started until the last song of the night, the dance floor was packed with guests dancing non-stop. There were more people on their feet than sitting, which speaks volumes about the energy and vibe that Gemma brought to the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests on the music selection, the smooth transitions, and how she kept the party going all night long. Additionally, the Photo Booth was a huge hit! Guests had a blast using it throughout the evening, creating lasting memories. Overall, Luv’d Up made our wedding unforgettable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

They brought the energy, worked with the crowd, let our friend freestyle, and just had great vibes the whole time. Our guests are still talking about how great they were! Thanks Jesse as well for preparing everything and nailing the set list.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • 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.

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
The short version of this review: if you want the music at your wedding to be awesome and exactly what YOU love to hear, and without cheesey emcee vibes, hire Marcus! Marcus did such an amazing job DJing our wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled. He is extremely thoughtful with his work. He took careful note of my husband and my musical tastes and preferences, as well as the vibe of our wedding, instead of playing a standard tired playlist. Per our request, he blended in some Latin music seamlessly. The dance floor was full and lively all night long, exactly as we had hoped for! He played songs we hadn’t requested but that we love, leaving me wondering how he could have known so well what to play. He also respected our “do not play” list, as I found out multiple guests requested songs on it and he politely declined. Marcus is very thorough and organized which made working with him so easy- he was on top of all the details, order of events/cues, even reviewed proper name pronunciation with us in advance. The event manager at our venue said she loved working with him and was very impressed. Marcus has such a kind and warm personality, and a really special talent- we feel so lucky that he was part of our big day!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Matt perform at both our cocktail hour and our reception, and we truly cannot recommend him highly enough. He brought such an incredible energy to the entire evening. Matt effortlessly set the perfect mood during cocktail hour and then later turned up the vibe for our reception. Not only is Matt a phenomenally talented musician, but he was also incredibly engaging with guests, read the room flawlessly and created moments we’ll never forget. Matt took the time to understand our music style and preferences prior to our event, and then delivered beyond what we imagined. So many of our guests have reached out just to rave about how amazing the live saxophone was. Our wedding would not have been the same without him there.

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!

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!!

We knew we needed to hire Lucas after our first call with him. He immediately understood the disco-funk music style we wanted at our wedding and his enthusiastic energy was contagious. I had told a friend of mine in the NYC music scene that we hired Lucas and he said that he is the best and we were in good hands. He was absolutely right. Lucas knows how to control the dance floor! Each song blended into the next so smoothly. People were avoiding going to the bathroom and barely anyone touched our dessert because they didn't want to stop dancing. Everyone was feeling the music, from our 11-year-old cousin to our 80-year-old aunts. People were pulling out some impressive moves that I'm not sure they knew they had. I even crowd surfed!

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

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!

With years of experience behind the decks and a sharp instinct for reading the room, I’ve built a trusted collective of DJs and musicians who know how to create unforgettable moments.

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.

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.

They were game to learn new songs, and their renditions of our requests were so incredible!! The band’s personal touch with all of the music was perfect. Everyone we’ve spoken to, during AND after the wedding, have commented on how amazing the band was, and how they loved dancing even to songs they weren’t familiar with.

Not many words can sum up the powerhouse of talent that encompasses MikeMusic: musician, producer, but most importantly a deejay that transcends genres. As a purveyor of eclectic beats and soul tapping sounds, he instinctively knows the perfect soundtrack for any celebration. To witness MikeMusic on the turntables is to take a ride through his mixed spectrum of musical influences. He has attended some of the most prestigious institutes for musical training, including The Julliard School, to nurture his natural talent on the trumpet. “Music is my passion. I take listeners on a journey, whether it’s through my horn or through the speakers."

Awarded Best of Zola
The way I feel about MikeMusic is far beyond just words. He’s classy, funny, down to earth, smart, professional & then some! Booking him for our wedding was a no brainer because of his unique style of play, and also because he has the same taste in music as me & my wife. Whether it be hip hop, reggae, kompa, salsa, merengue or soca, Mike is well versed in all of these genres & knows how to rock the crowd! He also has a great setup & treats your wedding day like it was his own. If you don’t hire this man for your wedding day you’re friggin’ crazy! He’s the best in the business!

We are able offer boutique-style service because we are a REAL band - with world-class musicians who've played hundreds of gigs together and are great friends!

Love Revival Orchestra has performed at Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home many, many times over the last 5 years. They are professional, kind, courteous and respectful to our unique property. Their musicianship is spectacular and are very savvy to nuances of performing at weddings. Their ability to read the crowd and play the appropriate music at the appropriate time is unsurpassed. We are particularly enchanted by the "Dixieland Band" style approach to transitioning guests from our cocktail site to our reception space. Love Revival Orchestra is a GREAT wedding band. Music at a wedding is the heart and soul of the event and can make or break it. You and your guests will have an excellent time if you have the opportunity to work with Love Revival Orchestra. I'd suggest booking them right now, before someone else does!
