I cannot rave enough about Luvdup DJs. We worked with Gemma, and she is just the sweetest. She was super helpful in the planning process, listened to what my husband and I were really looking for in our wedding DJ, and threw an epic party for us on the day-of. She was intuitive with the guests and played all of our favorite artists and songs. We got so many compliments on how amazing the music was at our wedding and how much fun it was!

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 
Rating: 5.0 (116 reviews)
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 !!!

Marcus Ho Dj

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!

We were working with the Metropolitan Players for over 3 years for our wedding. They were so easy to work with and were completely understanding when we postponed our wedding multiple times because of Covid. They were so easy to work with before and during the wedding. They worked with us through every step of the process and were able to adjust with us through the night. Also, they are an AMAZING band! Kept the party alive and had everyone dancing throughout the night even people who we know normally don't dance. All of our guests kept asking us where did we find them and how amazing they were.

Formed by DJ Matty Stuart in 2005, MD Music and Entertainment is a boutique DJ company with a focus on wedding entertainment. We spend a LOT of time getting to know our clients to ensure that each music set is as personalized as possible. We never want to play the same set over and over. We LOVE music and we got into this business to play amazing music for amazing people. We also believe that Love is Love and have proudly DJed many weddings and events for the LGBTQIA community for over 15 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Matty at MD Music & Entertainment, we knew we were in good hands. You learn quickly in wedding planning how important communication is and Matty is excellent in this regard. He was quick to respond, helpful and reassuring every step of the way. The quality of Matty's work and his value was truly exceptional - Matty took the time to understand our taste in music and the vibe we wanted for each aspect of the night, and then spun that into absolutely perfect playlists. Our guests were on the dance floor until the final minute, raving about how incredible the music was. I should note, we requested what was basically a 4.5 hour dance set and Matty didn't bat an eye and our guests never wanted to leave. I think it's worth noting that Matty's style is to let the music shine and he won't overpower that with too many announcements or call outs. Also, I know he got requests from guests in real time but he protected the work we'd done together in advance and made sure not to stray from what we communicated that we wanted as a couple in those moments. Matty also went above and beyond to help organize live music with a family member, demonstrating his professionalism and commitment to making our day special. We cannot recommend MD Music & Entertainment highly enough!

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!

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!

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!

We believe in tasteful use of the microphone for any pre-approved announcements. Music has its own voice. You can have a rocking party and still be elegant.

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.

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.

Jeff Taylor Guitar LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
New York, NY
  • Solo performer

I built my music around the belief that it should do more than fill space, it should shape the entire experience. I specialize in live Spanish and fingerstyle guitar for weddings and refined events, creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and personal. Whether I am strolling among guests or setting the tone for a ceremony, my goal is to help people feel comfortable, connected, and fully present. I am passionate about what I do because I have seen how the right music can bring people together and turn meaningful moments into lasting memories.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jeff on multiple occasions for our quarterly wine events, and he consistently exceeds expectations. He arrives highly professional, impeccably dressed, and creates an incredible atmosphere from the moment guests arrive. Jeff strolls throughout the event, interacting naturally with guests while providing a beautiful, elegant musical backdrop that enhances the entire experience. It never feels intrusive, just perfectly placed. He has become such a valued part of our events that we’ve brought him back time and time again, even flying him in for special occasions. Jeff is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him.
