I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties. Some of the locations I have been lucky to perform include the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and The Willard Intercontinental in Washington D.C. Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

Our wedding harpist, Terrease Aiken, was an absolute dream come true! From the start, she was incredibly organized and timely, making the whole process seamless. Her willingness to incorporate our personal song choices into her repertoire was a beautiful and meaningful touch. Her attentiveness and responsiveness in the months leading up to the wedding were truly exceptional. On the big day, she surpassed ALL expectations!! Her performance was nothing short of magical, and our guests can't stop raving about her talent and unique style. She added a level of enchantment that made our special day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the extraordinary touch she brought to our wedding! THANK YOU TERREASE!!

DJ Jay Murch was the best and easiest to work with from the very beginning. He was super clear about the process and even provided an app that allows you to plan all the music details for your big day, step by step. Jay took it even one step further and he assisted me with the processional, recessional, reception and ceremony coordination. He is super knowledgeable and really can help recommend songs and shape your wedding day playlist. He had my dancefloor on fire and we loved every second of it! I also booked a photobooth with On The Beat Fx which was a huge hit. I would recommend DJ Jay again and again and again!!!

If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow wow, the best experience we could've asked for. First off The Hook Club was absolutely awesome to communicate with and coordinate with. They were super responsive and professional but at the same time so laid back, we trusted them completely with their vision. They were great through the pandemic and made sure we all were on the same page. The musicians are so talented, we had live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, right before my ceremony started they played a beautiful song I had requested. The cocktail hour was beautiful, the music was at a perfect volume where we all could hear and enjoy them but people could carry on in conversation. The reception was off the charts, everyone wouldn't stop talking about how awesome they were with the music choices. Ash the DJ was absolutely on point, read the room and the talented live musicians integrated with the DJ was perfect, we had never seen anything like it but it was better than we even imagined. Big thanks to Dan who checked in all the time and even followed up after the big day. This group was one of a kind, thank you all so much.

We couldn't have asked for a better band!!! They sounded AMAZING and were SO MUCH FUN! All of our guests absolutely loved them and so did we. The Couple Care Manager, Mandy, and the rest of the team were also helpful when working through song choices and figuring out our overall vibe for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They perfectly shortened our first dance and our parent dances without requiring any help from us. We definitely recommend Metropolitan Players!!

Style: check Vibes: check Loves to keep the party going all night long: check Lucas is seriously the best. He made our wedding - it wouldn't have been possible without him. Early on in planning, we thought we could do the whole event with a handful of playlists and a laptop. We are so glad we didn't. Lucas was dialed into the needs of our guests, the timings of the evening, and brought everything together seamlessly. If your debating getting a dj, don't. Get a Lucas, you'll thank yourself later.

Aria Melody

5.0

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800

As homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJs, we allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. We keep things simple and straightforward so you can focus on the most important part of it all — marrying your partner, soulmate and best friend. 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.

Aria melody assigned DJ Jaime to our wedding. Let’s just say, our dance floor was PACKED the entire night. We had two logistics calls leading up to our event so that Jaime made sure that he had all the details he needed to made our event flawless, which he did. Jaime listened to our preferences and curated a playlist that had our guests so exhausted from dancing that half of them didn’t make it to the after party! Would highly recommend aria melody for your party needs!

45 Riots

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

www.45riots.com 45 Riots is a modern collective of first-call performing, recording, and touring musicians, operating with resolute focus, attention-to-detail, veteran experience, and artistic verve. Live music entertainment!

I don't even have the words to describe how good this band is. Candidly, my family had unrealistic expectations, and they were absolutely FLOORED by the exceptional talent of JJ, Bobbi, Jermaine, and the band. At one point a guest confused Bobbi's voice for an actual Whitney Houston recording. They brought the house down and I only wish we could have spent many more hours dancing with them. Plus the producers that you work with during the planning process are SO nice, attentive, and helpful. 45 Riots made our wedding the best night of my life. BOOK THEM!
