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!!

I've never experienced somebody going so above and beyond their job description like Dan. From our first consultation up until the wedding day, we were in constant contact, with Dan sending us fun cuts and mixes of all our favorite music. This level of attention and preparation gave me so much confidence that our wedding music would be perfect - transitioning seamlessly between genres and setting the mood for all the night's events. From Frank Sinatra at dinner to full blown nightclub vibes by the end, Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and able to deliver whatever energy we wanted. Family members and friends have begged for the playlist and raved about never wanting to sit down. We truly couldn't be happier with - I'll say it again - THE BEST DJ!!!

We hired them for our wedding, and couldn’t have been happier with the experience! We met with Roger digitally several times before the big day and he really got to know us so that he could get the vibe perfectly. He kept the party going all night and made sure to check in with us continuously to keep us on track. He also had our back when someone tried to slip in a Dallas Cowboys reference during a toast by immediately playing the Eagles Fight Song and turning the lights green. We also had two live musicians perform and they were both a blast to dance along with!

Words can’t truly explain how awesome these guys were on our day. Eric was very attentive and opened to all of our ideas and whether it worked or not he made it seem possible there was a chance. From the start of the ceremony, to cocktail hour and even hyping our families up for the introductions, Eric and Jimmy were on their A game and provided the best experience. Music selection was exactly what we asked for and they played our most requested tracks as well. They were super friendly with our friends and family that everyone knew each others name by the end of the party. We are just over a month after and everyone is still talking about the music and the vibe they gave off to the party. Highly recommend Evolving Events for any party plan you might have!

Cause and The Effects

5.0

Staten Island, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500

Based in Staten Island, New York, Cause and The Effects is an enthusiastic band comprised of young musical professionals ready to perform at your wedding. The band was founded in 2011 but the versatile members have been playing together and separately for more than two decades. You can choose between a seven-, eight-, or 10-piece band to perform at your reception, while smaller groups can perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Show-stopping music is performed with a variety of instruments such as horns, percussion, saxophones, flute, and piano. They are based in Staten Island but are willing to travel to destination weddings.

If you’re considering a live band for your wedding reception, look no further than Cause and the Effects. We hired the full 10-piece band to play at our wedding reception on 9/23/23, and that was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made. From our initial calls all the way through the actual event, the band set themselves apart and proved to be far more than a standard event vendor. They were completely invested in giving us the best experience possible. Vin and Anthony took the time to get to know us, our interests, and how we wanted the event to flow, and used all of that information to put together an amazing set. Our reception had a few unique twists, and the band took each of our requests in stride with enthusiasm and professionalism. Leading up to our reception, Vin communicated with some of our other vendors to make sure any intersecting elements (for example, audio/video and lighting) went smoothly. And day-of, the full band’s talent and energy blew us away. Once the party started, it did not stop for a single second. We, the majority of our guests–and eventually, some of the band members & instruments themselves!--were going wild on the dance floor the entire night. Even the non-dancers in the crowd were sitting and enjoying the music with huge smiles on their faces. Throughout the event, many people pulled us aside so they could tell us how much they were loving the music…and in speaking to guests afterward, the first thing every single person mentioned was how incredible the band was. And talk about a personal playlist–not only did they create a completely unique rendition of our first dance song (Starlight by Muse) to match our dance choreography, but they also delivered a huge surprise. In our consultations, we’d mentioned how important the band Linkin Park is to us…so Cause and the Effects learned “In the End” just for us, and delivered a phenomenal performance as one of the closing songs of the night. It was so meaningful, and it’s something we’ll never forget. Please don’t hesitate to make Cause and the Effects one of the first vendors you book for your event. "Five stars" is not a high enough rating!

Where do I begin… THC was the star at our wedding! The two major things I was super excited about for our wedding day (besides marrying my husband lol) were the food and the music, and boy did the music live up to our expectations! Dan and Jesse were so pleasant to work with. They understood the direction/vibe we were looking to have on our special day, and they absolutely delivered! One moment where they blew us away, was when they started the Greek dancing songs for my husband’s family. Jesse learned how to sing three songs and he killed it! Our family members were stunned and confirmed he sang the songs with precision! We can’t thank you enough for putting the effort in to give us those special and unforgettable moments. My only complaint was that the night was too short, and we could’ve danced to them playing all night lol. If you have any doubts about hiring them, make a date night and go to their showcase one night. We took a chance and booked them before seeing them play live but once we did see them, we knew we made the right choice. Thank you, THC!

Tara and her team at Sweet Harmony are amazing! We got married on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade in an intimate outdoor ceremony with our closest friends and family. We thought a solo violinist would set the perfect tone for the evening and we couldn't be happier with our experience. When choosing our songs, Tara helped me pick one of my favorite songs for the bridal processional song that would sound the best with a solo violin. She was also very communicative up until our day! On the day of, Inna, our violinist, was well-prepared and knew the order of events and timeline well. She played all of our requested songs and background music beautifully. We couldn't be more thankful for the seamless and incredible experience we had with Sweet Harmony! I would recommend to anyone!

Words do not describe how happy I am with Limitless Entertainment! Chris is an absolute rock star and MADE our wedding. He is so easy to work with, dedicated, personable, and affordable. When I first started looking for a DJ, I had ZERO clue what I was looking for. I just knew that my husband and I wanted someone who could get on our level and make the room dance like they never danced before. Finding the right DJ was extremely important to me because I grew up dancing and needed the dancing vibe the whole night. We reached out to Chris and we felt so confident that he was the DJ for us. He listened to us and communicated well which was a must! We booked Limitless Entertainment and they became the vendor we looked forward to having the most at our wedding. All I could talk about to anyone was how excited I was for my DJ and how all my friends who are getting married NEED to book him. Chris sent us an entire questionnaire for us to fill out which showed us how organized and passionate he is about his business. We put our full trust in Limitless Entertainment and they did not disappoint. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and still rave about how great of a DJ we had. If you are looking for a fun, outgoing, entertaining, hype man of a DJ, Limitless Entertainment is where it's at. There is no other DJ I would recommend. We do hope we get the chance to work with Limitless Entertainment again in the future!

For a long time, we have been following Pulse Event Group on Instagram as we knew we had a wedding approaching in the future.

It is the music that affects the guests the most and sets the tone and mood of the day.

Sergio Pulsinelli and his team are absolutely fantastic, and exceeded all of our expectations. Sergio is an incredible listener, extremely organized and very attentive to details. As weddings are often filled with age and taste diversities, he presented a multitude of songs, which had everyone up and dancing the entire night.

Marcus DJ'd my wedding this month, and I can not say enough good things about my experience working with him. During our initial conversations, he was a super diligent listener and made sure to ask a lot of questions to make sure he got a feel for what we wanted out of the evening. He was also super prompt in his replies when we had questions or concerns throughout the planning process. His music worksheet was also really helpful in terms of helping us to nail down the exact vibe that we wanted on the big day. And then, the MAGIC happened! On the day, Marcus was punctual and came fully prepared with everything he needed for setup. He also dressed for the night in a very sharp suit that was perfectly fit for the occasion. He curated the music for the evening absolutely perfectly — we literally could not keep people off of the dance floor. Folks were coming up to us all night to ask for his information because they were so impressed by how well he curated the vibes. The real kicker was that in my father's speech he mentioned that he and I used to sing Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" together in the car. I, of course, did not know this would be mentioned, but right as the speech ended Marcus had Maggie May queued up and played right into the chorus. It was a moment my family and I will not soon forget. If you're in the market for a wedding DJ, or really a DJ for any occasion, look no further than Marcus. You will not be disappointed!

We are so happy we hired the Met Players! From the moment we first emailed them, we could sense their excitement for us and passion for what they do. They were incredibly communicative over email and very organized in terms of planning for our wedding day. We had a lot of specific requests and they accommodated every single one flawlessly (for example, we asked for some piano instrumental versions of Lord of the Rings songs to play before the ceremony and gave very specific timing instructions for songs to walk down the aisle to). The band completely understood the vibe we were going for which was a fun and lively dance floor, and the dance floor was truly packed all night. They helped us have an amazing hora, kept timelines on track by announcing speeches and parent dances, and ended their set with a great performance of Don't Stop Believin. I highly recommend the Met Players for a band that's truly excited, fun, and talented! We hadn't seen them live before we booked, but based on reviews and word of mouth we felt comfortable booking anyway and from the first email we got from our event coordinator I knew we made the right choice. We loved them, and so did our guests because we got many, many compliments!

Oh WOW. There are no words for how outstanding these guys are. We are a musical family... their musicianship awed us all. But more importantly, the LOVE that was pouring in all directions from the musicians to us, to our family and guests and back to them. He managed the normal flow like the pro that he is. First dance, guests on the dance floor with us, toast, a song to honor my mom, soft music for the meal and once the dancing started we just couldn't stop. Scott pulled together a first class ensemble (we went all out with the usual 4 plus a sax player and female lead vocalist). Of course Scott planned like crazy. We exchanged play lists. He took the time to drive over and we worked out the flow of the guests and schedule of events... but not too much so we allowed some spontaneity. The party was in our garden-- to our surprise Scott even threw in a jazz duo for the cocktail hour before the reception. Our wedding was the happiest day of our lives. And Scott and his peeps played a big part in that.

Reach out, select from the brochure of services, connect, make the 1st payment, sign the contract, and design the music through his streamlined system online

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly highly recommend Ryan Cook! We received so many compliments on the music at our wedding. Ryan and team did classical acoustics for our ceremony, and then transitioned into a trio for cocktail hour. The live cocktail hour music was amazing, we only wish we could have watched and listened the whole time! It made a huge difference having what I'll call actual musicians (that love music) rather than cookie cutter wedding bands. It really set the vibe for the day and everyone genuinely enjoyed the music. Ryan also did a great job DJing for the reception Working with him was super easy, he was always quick to respond and was enthusiastic throughout the process of planning and selecting a song list. Wish we could do it all again!

We knew we needed to hire Lucas after our first call with him. He immediately understood the disco-funk music style we wanted at our wedding and his enthusiastic energy was contagious. 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! Definitely hire Lucas if you want your wedding to be an epic dance party. You won't regret it.

BVTLive! was all around an excellent choice for our wedding. DJ Linx was amazing! His communication was incredible; he responded to our emails and messages quickly, usually within a few minutes to an hour. We ran through the whole night with him in a few video calls leading up to the wedding. We went through all family intro pronunciations and he double checked with everyone the day-of to make sure everything was correct. He worked with our day-of coordinator to ensure the timeline was correct and everything ran smoothly. We gave him a few spotify playlists that he stuck to very well, with a few additions that were perfect. He read the room very well and everyone had a great time - kids, adults, and older relatives. The midnighters were super easy to work with! They performed for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. They have a long list of songs they are able to play for the procession and recession, and learned one song from scratch for us - a song they had never played before - and it sounded amazing. We heard so many rave reviews from our guests about how great they were. We would highly recommend both of these artists and BVTLive! as a whole.

If you are considering using Ultimate Entertainment for your wedding, book them RIGHT NOW! My husband and I went to a wedding (before we were even engaged) and I said if we got married, this would be my first phone call. Sure enough, as soon as we had our venue booked we called Rob. Rob doesn’t just come to your wedding, Rob IS your wedding. I can’t count how many people said they’ve never seen such a fun wedding DJ team or how many people said they never dance at weddings, but they got up & danced at ours. Rob’s energy set the vibe not only for the whole reception, but for the entire planning process. We had a Christmas themed wedding (12/22) and Rob took that idea and ran with it. It felt like one big Christmas party and we couldn’t have been happier. His team also made the whole planning process so easy—they answered emails quickly, and they were always all so friendly. We also used them for our photo booth and it was great—we ended up forgetting to put out our guest book, so the photo booth scrapbook was a lifesaver. We can’t say enough good things about UE—if you need a team for your event, look no further, you won’t find better.

When I say that booking Vitamin M is the best decision you will make when planning your wedding, I mean it. Not a dash of hyperbole. I've been to a lot of weddings and Vitamin M is by far the best band I've seen. Our expectations were outrageously high and they somehow exceeded them. Each member of the band is exceedingly talented, and when they come together, it's magic. The dance floor was full from the moment they started until the venue was kicking us out of the space! JJ is super easy and professional to work with. He helps curate the playlist based on exactly the vibe you're going for. Not only that, they can read the room and shift things to ensure everyone is having the absolute best time. My mom made a reference to an album in her speech and without missing a beat, that was the first song they played afterward! Book them. Now. And then invite me to your wedding so that I can watch them perform again!

Hire DJ Tweed! From the initial consultation to the last dance, he exceeded all expectations, creating a seamless and unforgettable atmosphere that had our guests dancing the night away. He took the time to understand our musical preferences, wedding theme, and any special requests we had and then elevated what we wanted to be amazing. Most importantly, on the day of the wedding Daryl rolled with changes seamlessly – his ability to read the crowd and adapt the playlist kept everyone engaged and energized, and we were so impressed at how he was acutely dialed into the feeling on the dance floor, cutting a song short if it wasn’t hitting and mixing to keep the beats up the whole time. We had no time to rest (in a good way)!! From timeless classics to current hits, the music selection was upbeat and catered to guests of all ages. Daryl also masterfully handled all announcements and special moments, maintaining the flow of the evening effortlessly. DJ Tweed was the absolute right choice for our wedding day.

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Based out of Brooklyn, NY, DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin Lim) is a 20+ year professional open format DJ that brings a unique blend of nightlife, wedding, & event experience to the wedding process and day-of. With a DJ style thats both engaging & appropriate at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

Kevin DJd our NYC wedding in October. Best choice ever! Aside from, “congratulations,” “tune!” was probably the most shouted word at our wedding. Our entire wedding (pre-ceremony mingling and drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing) took place in one location - a restaurant. That put a lot of pressure on the music since we needed to set and maintain a tone while tuning the energy for different phases of the evening. Kevin nailed it. From the first meeting, he was creative, collaborative, responsive and kind. We didn’t start with an exact vision for what we wanted, so he helped us refine our “brief” by asking thoughtful questions about us, our guests, etc. He proactively went on two site visits to our venue to meet the events team, understand the space and optimize speaker placement. He requested to come to our rehearsal (in the pouring rain) to ensure he hit certain music cues for our processional. I mean, above and beyond. In the end, he concepted and created the most PERFECT mix, which took us from café music and crooner vibes to yacht rock to the club. He played all our favorites, but it didn’t feel cookie cutter, and he mixed everything in a way that kept people excited and on the dance floor. We loved working with Kevin from start to finish and hope we have another excuse to work with him in the future!

I am a photographer who has been working with DJ Maxx Saint since 2016. Since then, we've covered countless events together- from Weddings to Sweet 16s. He is my #1 go-to DJ whenever I have a client ask for a DJ recommendation. There are many things I love about working with DJ Maxx, but one that sticks out is that as a photographer, he makes my job easier. The reason is because at a DJ Maxx party, he always has everyone dancing and smiling so it makes capturing candid happy moments a breeze. Another reason DJ Maxx is different from other DJ's is that DJ Maxx takes music requests from guests. This is different from other DJ's who only want to play what THEY want to hear, as opposed to what the crowd wants. DJ Maxx also uses the best equipment and uses them appropriately. One thing that annoys me is covering an event in which the music is TOO LOUD. I know many guests feel this way also because they can't talk to each other. DJ Maxx plays music at a great balance in which you can enjoy the music, but also allows the guests to catch up with each other. If you want a dance party where you'll have all your guests dancing all night, there's no better DJ out there than DJ Maxx Saint!

Garrett & Tamara are a New York-based musical duo and songwriting team. The couple's journey began in 2015 after matching on the popular dating app, Tinder. The two quickly bonded over their love of music and began writing and performing together. On stage, they weave together a uniquely vibrant fusion of classic r&b/soul and contemporary singer/songwriter, rich with two part vocal harmonies and lush guitar arrangements.

Garrett and Tamara were beyond anything we could have hoped for. They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding (even when we changed songs quite a few times). They played our ceremony and cocktail hour and made both feel so special. They are not only insanely talented but just the nicest people as well.

Matty was a pleasure to work with; he was professional and accommodating. Before our wedding, he was easy to contact and plan with. During our planning meeting, he listened to everything we had to say, noting the songs we wanted to hear and what our "vibe" was. My wife is a professional musician, so music is important to her, and Matty understood that. On the day of the wedding, Matty nailed it with the music. He played exactly what we requested when requested, and added his own mix that blended in perfectly with our vibe. He also made sure to check in with us multiple times, ensuring we were happy with the music and asking if we needed anything else. We received multiple compliments from our guests about him.

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.

LIAT (singer/songwriter)

Denver, CO
  • Solo performer

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.

For as long as I’ve known Liat I’ve always been captivated by her voice. She has a presence that is magnetic. Anyone who’s ever heard her sing has felt drawn to her performance and longs to be a part of the experience. When Liat played our first dance at our wedding it was hard not to cry. She learned our song while truly making it her own. Even though it was Radiohead and kind of emo it was special to us. She knew what that meant and delivered not only a song, but a moment we will never forget. I would recommend her to be the voice of any event. Her live music is now forever a cherished memory everyone should get to have and to hold.

He has toured all over the world and his drumming can be heard on various National TV Commercials, and is featured in the 2024 release of Paramount Pictures’ Mean Girls movie. Since even before leaving the touring life in 2015, Jon has been a fixture in the New York private event/wedding band scene and has been a drummer, band leader, talent booker and event producer for the biggest agencies and bands in the area.

Do not sleep on booking The Brooklyn Beats! I’m positive this will be the most popular wedding band in NYC very soon! I was a big fan of Jon’s old band, Steel Train, and also saw him play drums when he was with Bleachers in 2015. Since then I’ve followed him on social media and when I heard he started his own wedding/event band, I couldn’t believe it lined up with me looking for a band for our big day! We debated a DJ versus a live band—but wow a live band is the way to go. They play every style of music which has everyone from your older relatives to your youngest friends singing and dancing for the ENTIRE night.

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!

We provide you with beautiful Steel Drum entertainment for your next event. Our agency has the best Steel Drum players that have spent their whole lives dedicated to becoming masters of the instrument. Our Panists have played for weddings, black tie galas, charity events, birthday parties, official government events, mitzvahs, concerts and much more. Fun Fact: The Steel Drum is called the Steel Pan in its home country, Trinidad and Tobago. The players are called Panists.

I had the pleasure of listening to Travis and Kareem play the Steel pan at 2 weddings I was working at. They both played a variety of genres like Reggae, Soca, Afro beats, Hip Hop/R&B, and Pop. I was so surprised at how many popular songs they knew how to play. The pan also gave an extra special touch to my clients' weddings that made them unforgettable. All of the guests were up dancing during their whole performance.

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

We’re an original band at heart with big dreams, but we’re also just passionate about playing music together in general. We started doing a few cover shows for fun and really enjoyed ourselves and making people dance & have a great time. After learning dozens of songs we curated, we decided to start playing as a cover/wedding band. We have a lot of heart and always try to bring the best possible energy to each performance we do. We mostly do billboard hits covers in various styles, decades and genres. We try and stay true to the sound and feel of the original recording but also try to modernize it and give it our own subtle unique spin.

Awarded Best of Zola
Found the band after seeing them play @ The Red Lion In Downtown, New York and was blown away by their sound and style. So I reached out to them to play my wedding reception and they absolutely killed it. They played our favorite song “Kiss Me” by Sixpence none the richer for our first dance and it was a really priceless moment. They’re also really friendly and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend them to play your wedding or event!

Mama Juke is a gumbo of New Orleans influenced blues, blue-eyed soul, funk, and folk. Actor/singer Elijah Bridges brings elements of bluegrass and rag with his soulful harmonica, acoustic guitar, and voice. Amos Rose is a world traveling multi-instrumentalist who also sings and plays lead Telecaster guitar, and was recently featured by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Brendan O’Grady is an in-demand session musician and fixture on the greater New York scene since his roots growing up in Yonkers. Drummer Jon Wert is a sought-after musician, collaborating with a wide variety of artists in the jazz, rock, pop production shows and songwriter worlds.

We booked Mama Juke for our 9/24/2022 wedding and they did not disappoint. I can’t say I wasn’t nervous, as they didn’t have any reviews posted yet, but Jon was very helpful in addressing all our concerns and they kept our guests entertained and dancing all night long! They learned our first dance song- Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves and put their own flair to it, which we loved. They are such a fun mix of rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and played a good mix of songs for all ages. I would also recommend listening to some of their original songs and including them in your day, my husband and I were so happy we did. :) I want to have another wedding just so we can have them play again!

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

If you think you are going to get a run of the mill Dj, who just stands behind the booth, look else where. Gregory IS THE PARTY, not only is he versatile with genres but also play songs from the 70's and 80's to current Pop and Afrobeats, truly his musical vocabulary is quite unmatched. Which is why we wanted him at our wedding. and he did not disappoint. At our wedding he danced bachata with guests, he sang with parents, he hosted a dance completion and, literally was the talk of the day for weeks to come. For us, we opted to get the largest package which included bringing not just 1 but 3 of his Dj colleagues, and 4 Speakers running music in three different spaces within the venue. Cocktail hour was a live Brooklyn Brunch Themed Set, with DJ Thematics Inside was a Jazz playlist for our older guest who wanted to stay and chat And an all party in the evening as he plays along side Dj Mastermind & Dj Blackout. All of which was a separate location from the ceremony space which had its own amplification. I have nothing else to say but 5 Stars across the board

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!

If I could give these guys a million stars, I would! As a fellow wedding vendor, I do a happy dance when I see that we're working together because I know I'm not going to have any trouble getting some killer dancing shots! On a technical side of things, they are super accommodating for my needs (I do video and they allow me to get a clean audio feed out from their soundboard with no hesitation) and they always sound great! If you're hoping to get grandma up & dancing before the salad course comes out, this is your band. Their dedication to keeping the party alive all night is unlike any other band I've worked with, as they bring along their own DJ to cover when they are taking a much-needed break. They are worth every penny, and your guests will be talking about your wedding band for years to come if you bring them on to your wedding team!
