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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

The Hook Club

Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands.

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
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!

Marcus was the DJ we had for our wedding in Brooklyn. As a DJ myself I can tell you that he was flipping fantastic. He provided music for the ceremony, and microphones for the officiants, and he went above and beyond in his preparation for our big day. He curated a playlist of all the songs we wanted to hear and read the crowd perfectly. I would highly recommend him for any party, not just a wedding. He was also an excellent compare. Thank you Marcus for making our special day all the more perfect. From LaLa and JJ xx. PS, for the quality of service we got from Marcus, he probably could charge about another 1000 more than he does.

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!

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

We had heard 45 Riots at a few other weddings so we knew of their talent! We had multiple people tell us during and after the wedding that it was the best band they've seen at a wedding. Each version of the songs we all knew were special (enhanced by the horn and rhythm sections, and 3 singers' amazing voices but different styles). In addition to it being some of the most fun live music, we found the experience to be quite personalized. We had specific segments of songs they played for intros, they were able to perform Amy Winehouse's cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow with timing that completely matched our practiced first dance, and they absolutely nailed the final song Crazy In Love (in the style of the live Beyonce version). Cannot say enough amazing things about 45 riots.

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. We legitimately felt like we were at a concert tailored just for us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

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."

As a wedding planner, the most important qualities I look for in a DJ are reliability and professionalism, in addition to talent. My number one choice is always MikeMusic. When my couples book him, I can breathe a sigh of relief because I know he has everything covered. He comes prepared with every piece of equipment needed (including backups!) which gives me peace of mind so my team can focus on the other wedding day logistics. And when it's party time, his music selection is on point! He's extremely knowledgeable about various music genres. The energy that he and his MC create on the dance floor is infectious. If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, do not hesitate to book MikeMusic!

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!

Louis Josephson Music 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
New York, NY
  • Production company
  • Starts at $200

Louis Josephson, a Juilliard graduate, is a versatile musician known for his exceptional talent. With a repertoire spanning Broadway classics, jazz, rock, and pop, he caters to diverse musical tastes. Louis loves taking requests, as he knows most songs in the repertoire but can also sight read and/or play by ear. Backed by a network of NYC musicians, his polished performances leave a lasting impression, whether setting the mood with smooth jazz or energizing with upbeat pop.

What can I say about this wonderful person, and fantastic musician? Louis is very talented, in his piano playing and singing, his knowledge about all musical genres, and mostly in his ability to put everyone at ease in both musical and social settings. He even got the group who live in a memory care unit to laugh at his substitution of the lady residents' names (Anita and Bonita) for Maria from West Side Story. He plays and sings beautifully, and also writes his own compositions. Everyone looks forward to being with him, whether he is entertaining at the piano or discussing the motifs in Kanter and Ebb musicals. If my children were getting married now I would have Louis take care of the music for their weddings in an instant. I would love to tell you more about this remarkable young man, so get in touch with me if you want.

A Metro Wedding 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800

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!!!

Velveteen Ensemble 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
New York, NY
  • Ceremony only
  • Starts at $750

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.
