Tammy delivered hands down! She understood the assignment and everyone had a blast. The dj is one of the most important people at this type of an event and she took the time to listen to what we wanted and made it happen. Having access to her Dj app made the process very seamless. I had two consultation calls with her. We decided to go with the photo booth, which was such a lovely added piece to our day and I’m so glad that we did! There was even an attendant at the booth! It can be a little difficult to get in contact with her, but just know that she has it all figured out so be patient and she will get the job done! Thanks again Tammy we are forever grateful!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

When you combine talent and technology, magic seems to happen... If you are looking to spice up your event, we have you covered. Our portfolio is truly limited to the imagination. We hope to inspire you to think big, to be different and most of all to be awesome. If you have seen it somewhere at an event, or can dream of something amazing - we can make it happen.

Hiring a DJ for our wedding was something that was difficult for us without seeing them perform. From the day we met Steve at a wedding expo, I knew he was the perfect fit. He sat down with us for quite some time to discuss their process, their capabilities, and their vision. The online portal made it easy for us to find and add songs we wanted played throughout our day. Steve even went as far as remastering a version of a song for my step father and myself to dance to! If I could, I would re-hire SG Productions over AND OVER again!! They truly made our day memorable, held us accountable to our timelines, and kept all of our guests on the dance floor. We are SOOO thankful!! Steve and his team are the best of the best!! HIGHLY recommend!!

I don't think a single person at our 10/14/23 wedding received more compliments than DJ Steff. And there's no one I'd be happier to share the spotlight with. To put it simply - DJ Steff is amazing. At every phase of planning -- from our introductory call to walking through the event portal to wedding weekend - DreSteff Events was a dream. DJ Steff was patient, kind, thoughtful, collaborative, and incredibly responsive. He took time to know our specific music tastes, pet peeves, and personalities to bring our wedding ceremony reception to life in a way that felt uniquely us. He found all the songs we wanted to use -- no matter how obscure. The music mics at the ceremony were flawless. The cocktail hour tunes were on point. Our uplighting - both during dinner and when the dance floor was in full swing - set the room perfectly ablaze. And he DID NOT MISS with any of the reception music. All night, we heard: "WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS GUY?" "YOUR DJ IS AMAZING." "I'VE NEVER DANCED SO MUCH AT A WEDDING." I cannot rave about DJ Steff enough. If you're getting married in the tri-state, book him in a heartbeat. Best decision we made, outside deciding to marry each other.

Beach Nights - Live Band & DJ Combo 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves New York, NY

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

The Barnstorm 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves New York, NY

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

We first saw Daryl's DJ-ing at a friend's wedding. We were hooked and immediately wanted to consider him to DJ our wedding, as the atmosphere Daryl created was incredibly fun. Working with Daryl has been an absolute pleasure. We've had clear communication regarding the timeline, the wedding reception playlist, and getting the songs/audio for the ceremony. Daryl is super friendly and easy to work with. Many of my guests have told me at the wedding "This DJ is really good".

Led by singer, songwriter, and recording artist Melody Rodriguez, the band can be heard in numerous styles such as Latin Pop, Boy Bands and 90’s nostalgia, while authentically performing standards and classics with powerhouse vocals.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

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.

  • Solo performer

  • Serves New York, NY

With her earthy acoustics, dark melodies, and rich vocals, singer-songwriter Liat has been captivating live audiences for over fifteen years. After years of performing in the pulsing cities of Philadelphia and New York, Liat moved to Colorado, where she drew inspiration from the folk music of the mountains. Her music evokes her itinerant life and Israeli-American heritage— 90s’ pop-rock meets 60s’ folk with glints of Middle Eastern desert soundscapes. She spins guitar acoustics with her powerhouse vocals for lyrical “dark folk” sounds that linger long after a performance.

Liat performed for my college graduation party. She was punctual and ready to go with all her equipment. She not only has a beautiful voice but great energy. She was perfect for the intimate setting and also got the crowd up and dancing! It was so fun. It added a really nice element to the party. Love to book her for an another event!

Kristin is equally at home belting Aretha blues as she is crooning Christina ballads and impresses with her vocal versatility. Uton’s powerful range and stage presence bring all the entertainment you could ask for. From a killer rhythm section to a stellar presentation, we promise to make your special day memorable and fun for all ages! Contact us here for more information.

I gave them a pretty technical setlist (a lot of funk/rock with crazy bass lines, Motown with tricky vocals, etc) and they knocked it out of the park while mixing in wedding favorites and got people dancing. They're very easy to work with, very professional, and I'd hire them again!

Our mission is to inspire and collaborate with our clients to produce unique and engaging events invoking emotion, excitement and energy for the newlyweds as well as their families, friends and guests.

So thankful I went with Jimmy Dee for my wedding. We just don’t have enough good things to say about them! From their App that allowed me to add and remove song options and make specific notes so anything I wanted in a very specific way was easy and clear. After that, our team took creative control and when I tell you my guests did not sit down for even a second!! Dinner was being served and they had to make an announcement for everyone to sit. So glad we went with them and they truly made our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!

You won’t regret hiring Tony and Platinum Entertainment, but you will regret not hiring them. Your DJ/MC is one of the most if not the most important vendor that you will book for your wedding. I didn’t believe it until I saw it, but it’s true. Tony was recommended to us by our wedding photographer, Hannah of Hannah Lux Photography. We set up a video call ASAP and after the first few moments, knew he was the right person for our wedding. It was evident very quickly that Tony is beyond passionate about what he does. Throughout the planning process, Tony guided us through everything we needed, made recommendations, and not only tolerated but encouraged my many Taylor Swift requests (or demands). Our wedding was less than 60 people including my husband and I. With such an intimate wedding, we were nervous for a while leading up to the event that people wouldn’t dance, or might even treat it more like a dinner party than a wedding. We were so wrong! The dance floor went ALL NIGHT because of Tony. Friends and family members that I have never seen dance, on the dance floor for our ENTIRE reception having the time of their lives. Our guests RAVED about our DJ all night and I can’t think of a day that’s passed yet that someone hasn’t mentioned how great he was. Tony is more than a DJ or an MC, Tony is a professional, an expert in his craft, a talented and creative individual, and a genuine, true person and friend. We can’t thank him enough for what he did for us.

A stable and fun act that has been serving the New Jersey/NY market for over 20 years. Very dependable, very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance or suggestions. We encourage our clients to come out and hear us live to decide for themselves. Much better than viewing a video and trusting it was all done live in one take.

They were so amazing, responsible and attentive. My husband and I told them all we cared about was that it was one big party and they made sure to make that happen. They knew exactly what songs needed to be played at the right time and kept everyone on their feet all night. I can’t tell you how many people specifically complemented them specifically! Best recommendation I could make!

I met Jamie while he was DJing at a venue in Manhattan many moons ago. I was immediately pleased with the music he chose and went up to the booth and we got to talking about music and art. He was so easy going and truly in tune with the beat of the venue. We kept in touch and I then went to several more of his venues where he was DJing with friends and also with my (now) husband. When we decided to get married and keep it really small our one must-have was excellent music because we love dancing but are not fans of standard wedding DJ music. I immediately contacted Jamie and on short notice he was able to schedule a meeting with us to discuss our needs. Jamie came prepared with a list of questions and helped us work through the different moods we wanted to set and organized the music choices. We gave him some ideas and he did the legwork of deciding what specific songs would lead into each of the unique parts of a wedding and reception (dancing, eating, more dancing, only the young people dancing, etc.). To this day my husband and I talk about how much fun we had at our wedding and how we were really able to make every piece of it ours - right down to the music that was not pulled off some Billboard chart but that truly reflected us and the people in our lives. In fact Jamie was so great the venue asked if he would be willing to come back and DJ some of their future events :)

Thank you for your interest in J.Entertainment LLC event services. If you're searching for a very smooth emcee with great DJ mixing skills then look no further. Are you worried about professionalism? I graduated from Rutgers University in 2009 with a Degree in Business. After graduating I turned my passion for DJing into a full-time career. Are you worried about experience? I have been in the wedding industry for over 10 years. I take great pride in planning and performing at weddings. I'm available to speak with you about your special day whenever I'm not DJing.

Where do I even start? Jay was so easy to work with! From the start he helped us guide through the process of what we wanted. We did not want anything fancy. All we wanted was a DJ to help hype up, play music, and had experience at our venue. Jay was the perfect match! Everyone tells us how good the DJ was at our wedding. He played the best songs and listened to all our requests. We could not recommend him more!

Packed dance floor, non-stop party, every guest raving after the last song; if this is your vision, say hello to Mod Society! We are a Brooklyn based group of highly in-demand professional musicians that have been playing together since 2009. We have been established in the NY tri-state area as "a band for music lovers" and we proudly cater to clients who appreciate the difference between a good band an unforgettable musical experience.

HIRE MOD SOCIETY! You will not regret it!! From start to finish, everything about working with Mod Society was incredible. Firstly, Claudio is truly such a pleasure to work with- he is extremely responsive, organized, and kind! He made the entire process very easy and I could tell that he was genuinely invested in his clients. Secondly, the talent of the band is truly unbelievable. We had multiple different configurations of the band during our wedding- duo during the ceremony, jazz quartet for cocktail hour, part of the band during dinner, and then the full 9 piece band during the dancing. At every point in the day, they were amazing! The full band played the perfect set list and with such incredible energy that pretty much every guest was on the dance floor jumping up and down and dancing the night away. It was truly the most epic wedding party thanks to Mod Society! We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard and some have already told us they they want to book Mod Society for their own weddings/events! I can't say enough wonderful things about Mod Society and would highly recommend them for any wedding!

How do we coordinate our wedding timeline with the band or DJ in New York City?

Communication is key. Your band or DJ should be in sync with your wedding day schedule, hitting the right notes at the right moments.
