I've seen Grant play at various venues and can't recommend him highly enough! He's incredibly professional and thorough, tailoring his set and performance to the tone of the event and blending in seamlessly. He has a beautiful singing voice and creates a really impressive one man band effect using his looping setup to layer in all parts of the song live in front of you. It's pretty incredible to see how he builds the song real-time without any backing tracks or pre-recorded stuff. I would feel confident hiring him for anything from a small cocktail party to a full wedding reception. Grant is the best!

Jay was our DJ (and friend) at our wedding at Renault Winery this past April. We cannot say enough good things about working with him! From the very beginning, he ensured us that he would make all of our wedding reception dreams come true and he DEFINITELY executed! He kept our dance floor full the entire night, he took care of displaying home videos on a projector during the daddy/daughter and mother/son dances, we booked a trio to play live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and all of this came out beautifully! We could not recommend Jay with his great energy and On The Beat FX more!!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

Marcus DJ’d our wedding at Midtown Loft and Terrace this past weekend and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We knew instantly upon our first meeting with him that he would bring our music vision to life. He was a delight to work with throughout the planning process and helped coordinate the steps during our ceremony and reception so that music was played at the perfect time, down to the seconds. His attention to detail is unmatched and the transitions between songs on the dance floor were seamless and smooth. We even asked him to combine two (very different) songs for our Mother/Son dance as a surprise and our guests absolutely loved it. We had guests come up to us multiple times throughout the night to tell us how awesome our DJ is, and we agree 100%. Thank you again, Marcus, for an incredible evening in the city!

The Metropolitan Players are a NYC-based wedding band collective, created by a husband and wife team, with a mission to help you make musical memories.

We want your guests to leave saying, “that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we hired the Met Players! From the moment we first emailed them, we could sense their excitement for us and passion for what they do. They were incredibly communicative over email and very organized in terms of planning for our wedding day. We had a lot of specific requests and they accommodated every single one flawlessly (for example, we asked for some piano instrumental versions of Lord of the Rings songs to play before the ceremony and gave very specific timing instructions for songs to walk down the aisle to). The band completely understood the vibe we were going for which was a fun and lively dance floor, and the dance floor was truly packed all night. They helped us have an amazing hora, kept timelines on track by announcing speeches and parent dances, and ended their set with a great performance of Don't Stop Believin. I highly recommend the Met Players for a band that's truly excited, fun, and talented! We hadn't seen them live before we booked, but based on reviews and word of mouth we felt comfortable booking anyway and from the first email we got from our event coordinator I knew we made the right choice. We loved them, and so did our guests because we got many, many compliments!

From our first meeting I know Matty would be the perfect fit. He is super kind and incredibly professional. He led us through the wedding process with ease and smiles. He listened to our requests and added his own magic which I knew he would do. The dance floor was packed!! Matty was perfect in his execution- never stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom and he didn’t sing and shout over the music which we appreciated! (That has a time and place but not for this wedding). He pulled together instrumentals for the ceremony and managed the artists and added musicians at the reception and it really brought out the celebratory vibe of the night. We were all smiles and many and he was too! Amazing job! Hire him asap or you will miss out:)

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.

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!

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM without question. Having worked with Madison Janice before (I work in hospitality events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans. We eventually decided on a smaller, intimate event in Malibu, and the 4AM team was BEYOND accommodating and understanding and we were so grateful to learn that TRE could DJ for us on the West Coast! Tre was incredible on our big day and kept our friends and family grooving all day – she provided the perfect soundtrack to the most spectacular Malibu day.

From DJing college house parties to packed clubs to music festivals, I've experienced the thrills of creating EPIC events through music. Weddings should be no different, but it requires a personal touch that brings out the stylistic uniqueness of each couple. I still remember having my own epic wedding dance party with my friends & family 10 years ago, and my goal is to give our couples the same! Remixologists is our team of talented like-minded DJs who share the client-focus & music versatility that I believe make the difference between having a good wedding and an AMAZING ONE for the ages!

DJ Lee was incredible!!! Look no further you NEED to book Remixologists for your event. I spent hours reading reviews and vetting different vendors and Remixologists was honestly the best choice I made for my wedding reception! Specifically DJ Lee was AMAZING. He was super organized from the get go which was so helpful leading up to the wedding day. I had a fusion wedding and he seamlessly worked in Indian songs into the hiphop/pop/80s music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night! DJ Lee was also a great emcee and created the perfect mix of music and energy to get people of all ages out of their seats. I can't recommend Remixologists enough!!
