“Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)”

“11/10! Absolutely use Non-Traditional Wedding DJs! We had the absolute best experience working with DJ Nico Rojo and owner Ben Boylan at Non-Traditional Wedding DJs. My wife and I got married in October 2025 at Farm to People in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Music is very important to me and I cared a lot about our choice of DJ, and consequently met with a lot of different DJ services. It was immediately clear that NT DJs would be our choice once I met with them. Nico and Ben both convey high levels of competence and professionalism while retaining the feeling of a business owned and operated by real people, and importantly real people who genuinely care about your wedding and experience. When I think wedding DJ, my mind, and I think many people's, first goes to "what music is being played during the reception when everyone is on the dance floor?" You'll actually work with your DJ for way more than that - ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and maybe more depending on your special day. Nico was not only great at that first, narrow idea of a DJ, but he was consistently awesome for every part of our wedding day. Whether he was determining what part of the evening music should be played, mixing and sequencing, or picking music that 'rhymed' with the rest of our selections, I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing he would crush it (and he did). Importantly, we are low-key and understated people and wanted our DJ to reflect that - we wanted to skip the common DJ-as-Hypeman setup that usually includes yelling into the microphone for folks to "get out on the dancefloor." Nico worked with us to understand how we wanted announcements and intro's to go and was happy to customize to our preferences. Everything was so smooth. We were able to think about all the other facets of planning a wedding while working with Nico & Ben!”

“Kenny was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding. From our first meeting, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly organized. He took the time to meet with us multiple times before the wedding and really got to know us as a couple, which made all the difference on the big day. One of my favorite things about working with Kenny was how well he understood our vibe. My husband and I love Afrohouse music, but we had a very multicultural, multigenerational guest list. Kenny found the perfect balance between incorporating the music we love while keeping the dance floor packed and making sure guests of all ages and backgrounds had an amazing time. It never felt like he was playing a generic wedding playlist; everything felt intentional and tailored to us. His setup looked beautiful, and the uplighting completely transformed the reception space. It created such an incredible atmosphere and brought the whole room to life. Throughout the night, he kept everything running smoothly, from announcements to transitions and dancing. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, experienced, and truly takes the time to understand your vision, Kenny is the one. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend him to anyone getting married in NYC.”

“We are so happy we chose The DJ Boutique to be our wedding day DJ! They **absolutely** nailed it at our wedding! We felt at ease from the first meet and greet with Jamie and impressed he came out to meet us face to face instead of keeping everything virtual. They are super friendly, communicative, and made us feel like we were in great hands. On the big day, the energy they brought was next-level. Our dance floor was packed all night, and the music was spot on!! We gave Jamie 2 spotify playlists of potential wedding music to play and he turned them into the perfect soundtrack for our day. Sooooo many guests told us how much fun they had and asked who our DJ was because they wanted to take note of them for their next event!

“The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with.

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.”

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
“Finding a DJ and putting your trust in them can be stressful because you truly don’t know what to expect until the day of, but DJ Dan absolutely exceeded our expectations! Dan is not your typical wedding DJ who plays the same cheesy, cliché wedding songs. He understood our vibe and kept everyone dancing the entire night. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and how much fun they had. Dan was so great to work with. He was organized, always kept in touch, and truly cares about making your day perfect. He puts a lot of time and effort into preparing beforehand, and it really shows. We are so grateful we chose him!”

“Bryan and Taylor are the ultimate professionals. From the minute we held our first call with Bryan we knew we'd have a solid timeline and the best team. He is focused on logistics and you really want this for your big day. Taylor the music director was so fun to work with during the planning phase. And he was our MC and guitarist! The 6 piece band crushed it. All our guests were raving about how they were able to cover the most difficult songs to cover and sounded amazing. We had the best time dancing all night!”
