Matty did an incredible job with our wedding, exactly what we were looking for. He was very thorough and helpful leading up to the event, and then nailed it the day of. Super self-sufficient in setting up and incredibly helpful in time management during the reception, which was huge as we didnt have a day of coordinator. Most important of all, everyone was on the dancefloor the entire night which was our primary goal. Would definitely recommend!

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

Gemma was great! From the very beginning, she was so easy to work with. She was very responsive and really listened to what we wanted. She listened to our concerns about getting some of our guests to dance and gave us a lot of great advice going into the wedding day, like adding dance floor props to get everyone engaged and adjusting our anniversary dance so everyone ends up on the dance floor. She worked with us and curated a great wedding playlist. Our guests complimented us on what a great DJ she was. Everyone loved seeing her behind the booth, dancing along with the guests. At one point, one of our guests dropped a glass and she played “Heart of Glass” right after, which was perfectly timed (lol). She really knew how to read the crowd and keep the energy up while still playing some of our silly requests. She curated a great mashup for the mother/son dance. My brother-in-law wanted to play a piece on a keyboard for part of his speech and Gemma worked with us in providing an amp so everyone could hear the piece. She even took videos during the ceremony and reception and shared them with me afterwards which is something I did not expect but was so grateful to have. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • 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.

Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have.

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 DJ'd our wedding this past weekend and he was the best DJ we could ask for! We had an initial consultation with him to align on what we're generally looking for, completed a "worksheet" with all the music and MCing details and any specific songs/playlists we wanted played, and then a final meeting to review the day from top to bottom. Marcus was communicative and easy to reach with any questions during this time. On the day of the wedding, he came several hours ahead of time to set up and prepare. During the wedding, Marcus played all the music from guest arrival to reception exactly how we envisioned, and MC'd all of the entrances, first dances, guest photos, etc. exactly on time and without too much fluff, which is what we wanted. Later, he played a great set of 2010s-2020s EDM and hype guest favorites that got the dance floor lit, and with great mixing and transitions too. Highly recommend Marcus if you're looking for a wedding DJ who's very skilled/experienced and just really knows music (not your average wedding DJ)!

Day of my wedding, I had guests of all ages coming up to me and raving about them! I have never seen my father-in-law dance so much in his life. Everyone had a blast and I have the Metropolitan Players to thank for keeping the event running so smoothly and without any flaws. I've been to many weddings and none of the bands I've seen hold a candle to the Metropolitan Players. All band members are truly gifted and should honestly be on the radio!

  • 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.

There truly aren't enough stars. If you're having a wedding (or literally any life function at all) and want your guests to have the absolute best time dancing, browse no further. In addition to making sure all was smooth on the sound for our ceremony, Peter was the legit heartbeat of our reception. From curating an excellent and eclectic dinner mix to editing our (unique) first dance song choice down to perfection to keeping our friends nonstop dancing from forks down to the 1am tail end of our afterparty, there's nothing this man can't do. On top of that, he'll do it while dancing and vibing out as hard as anyone, and bringing wamrth, kindness and collaboration at every step. He also truly lives up to the Peter Piper-ness of his name. Every moment I was convinced I needed to call it and rest, he knew just the perfect song to make you pivot right on back to the dance floor and keep going. All of the glowing hype in every review is so real. Brb, hitting up my HR team to see about getting him at our holiday party.

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.

My wife Sara and I truly could not recommend Around Town more highly. They were absolutely phenomenal from beginning to end and completely exceeded every expectation we had. As someone who has played musical instruments my entire life (piano, violin, and saxophone), I can honestly say I was thoroughly impressed with their musicality. The singers were powerful, polished, and incredibly engaging. The instrumentalists were tight, dynamic, and clearly at the top of their game. Every song sounded intentional and expertly executed. They didn’t just play songs, they performed them, and it was very clear they have worked with each other countless times as a team. They kept the dance floor packed all night, reading the room perfectly and sustaining an incredible level of energy from start to finish. Beyond their talent, they were amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were responsive, organized, flexible, and genuinely invested in making sure everything reflected exactly what we envisioned. They made the entire entertainment process seamless and stress-free. Our venue had a somewhat unconventional room layout (dining room and dancing room were slightly separated by a foyer in between), and they handled it flawlessly. They moved musicians around throughout the night so they could be heard clearly in different spaces, which made a huge difference in maintaining the energy across all the rooms. That level of awareness and adaptability really stood out. One of the most unforgettable moments of the night was when they surprised us by performing Che La Luna fully in Italian. Our guests went absolutely wild - the room erupted into singing, dancing, and celebrating - it instantly became one of those magical wedding moments, and I'm sure our family and friends will remember it for years. It felt so personal and so special. If you’re even considering booking Around Town - please do it! They are world-class musicians, consummate professionals, and they made our wedding unforgettable! We truly could not recommend them more!

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.

The vocals were phenomenal, the musicianship was outstanding, and the energy they brought was unreal. The perfect blend of music kept the dance floor packed all night, and the band read the room effortlessly.

At the end of the night, they were even flexible and kind enough to stay for one last song, making the finale feel absolutely magical. One of our favorite parts was how interactive the performers were. The saxophonist, trumpet player, and lead singers came out onto the dance floor, mingled with guests, and encouraged everyone to get up and celebrate. It made the whole night feel electric and personal.

The Brooklyn Beats is THE BEST wedding band you will ever work with. Seemless planning, thorough communications and the absolute best time on the dance floor. They navigated the venue and last minute setup issues with ease and brought the house down with their performance - not a lull in the dance floor for one moment, everyone was truly dancing the night away! Would hire them a thousand times over!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $150

As a law student by day and a DJ by night, I get the best of both worlds. When I’m not studying or in class, I’m behind the DJ booth helping people celebrate life’s biggest moments. DJing is my creative outlet and something I’m truly passionate about! I love curating the perfect soundtrack for each event, reading the crowd, and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels like they’re part of something special. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or private party, I’m excited to create unforgettable memories!

One of my favorite DJs of all time! She always plays the right music to get me out on the dance floor and having fun. She creates the most fun atmosphere mixing in nostalgia with the songs of the moment. When DJ Sunnyside is playing you’re never dancing alone.

Gillian was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding! She took all of our ideas and turned them into something even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We loved the mix of classical and Bridgerton-style music during the prelude, and the ceremony and cocktail hour music felt so personal with the blend of jazz standards and our favorite classic pop songs. Everything flowed beautifully and created exactly the ambiance we were looking for to make the day feel extra special. The added bonus with Gillian is that she is not only extremely talented, but also genuinely kind and professional. We are so grateful we found her and can't recommend her highly enough!

I’m Alex Edge — a DJ, music curator, and lifelong fan of a great party. I started Alex Edge & Co. to bring a more personal, elevated energy to wedding entertainment. 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.

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.

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.
