Holler at Herbert today!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Herbert Holler was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our vision was a longer reception to leave plenty of room for dancing, being together, having fun and really wanted it to be a great time for everyone there, for all ages. HH had everyone dancing at the same time- kids, teenagers, or friends, our parents' friends, and my 89 year old grandmother. He was spot on in reading the room- which wasn't the most straight forward - I asked him to sprinkle some Arabic music in so my Lebanese family could come together over familiar music- all I did was provide him a couple of titles and he ran with the rest. Didn't overdo it, and everybody joined in. It was a dream. HH was professional the whole way through and didn't require tons of collab, and was flexible and quickly responsive. My advice: Hire HH.

They also made our ceremony and cocktail hour magical and memorable. From the beginning, communicating with Dan and Jesse was great. They were super responsive, clear, and thorough in answering our questions (and we asked a lot!). We were thankful to have a band that was not just phenomenal at the music piece, but also fantastic at planning and communication. We'd recommend The Hook Club in a heartbeat!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sweet Harmony was the perfect touch to our ceremony! We had a violinist and cello player and the music was absolutely beautiful. When looking for live musicians, the only thing I knew was I wanted to walk down the aisle to A Thousand Years played by live violin and was clueless about everything else. Elisa, our primary contact, was so responsive and patient with me as I asked her endless questions and needed her expert guidance multiple times. We had a very small intimate ceremony and I was coming down a grand staircase so without having a wedding party or day of coordinator paired with not being able to visually see guests arriving and my groom going out to the alter, I realized I would need to rely on music to know when things were happening. When Sweet Harmony said they could make that possible, the biggest stress point of my ceremony was no longer a stressor. They certainly didn't disappoint on the day of! Sweet Harmony has fantastic musicians, wonderful customer service and elevate any event!

Marcus was hired as our wedding DJ and we had the most terrific experience with him. He was professional, thoughtful, and very respectful. We had a pretty set idea on what kind of music we wanted to play for our guest (think dance, sing alongs, and a strict list of "Do Not Plays" which he was able to take and run with. He was extremely easy to trust, which we found to be very important early on in our wedding planning process. Every song he played that night had every single guest out their seat and on the dance just as we wished! Marcus timed our entire wedding to the second, and it ran extremely smooth. I simply can not say enough words about Marcus, but if you are considering him, he will not disappoint. Absolutely recommend!!!

Im going to start off by saying that I can be a little picky with music. HOWEVER, I knew that Kent was my guy when I was tasked to find a DJ for my wedding a little over 5 years ago. No regrets whatsoever! He brought together Dominican, Colombian, and American cultures seamlessly! He is a real pro at what he does. He’s an amazing producer as well and created a customized mix for us. He was extremely flexible and attentive to detail. He had our dance floor packed the whole time!

The Brooklyn Beats is the inaugural event/wedding band founded by music industry veteran, Jon Shiffman. Jon is best known for his live work as a drummer for Grammy winner Jack Antonoff in the bands Steel Train and Bleachers. 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. The talent is unreal and the energy of a live band brings a night to a new level. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

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.

Sound Image has now made 5 weddings in my family such nights to remember!! We just keep coming back because it is no question! On my own wedding night they put on a concert and the party did not stop. The communication from the first call to going over our entire wedding the week before was top notch and professional. They did everything and more! music while we walked down the aisle, walk out music into the reception, it was a dream come true the entire night. We keep getting rave reviews weeks after! They made it truly even better than we could've imagined- we couldn't be more thankful, Carmine and Russ I cannot thank you enough for the spectacular show you put on for us.

We had hired Pulse to be our DJ for our wedding in a October 2021 at The Palace at Somerset Park. We worked with Andrew and from the planning stages to the day of, everything ran seamlessly! Included in the planning stage was a re-schedule due to COVID. They were completely understanding and so easy to work with during that difficult time in planning our new date. Andrew was so responsive with all of our emails and phone calls. As for the reception, all went without a hitch! Andrew came to us as soon as we got there to confirm the order of events and pretty much guided us through the whole reception on what will work well. We had a same day edit to show from our videography and they coordinated perfectly together to get that played. Andrew asked us for our song preference and we pretty much told him to take the ball and run with it, and that’s exactly the what happened. It was a great mix to get everyone of all ages up and dancing. The best part…we were able to talk to each other and hear over the music, we did not have to scream which was a huge concern. An added plus was the wedding Zapps photographer!! We have so many great pictures in addition to our photographer. We couldn’t be happier with Pulse and would recommend them to EVERYONE! Thank you Andrew and Pulse for helping make our night such a memorable one.

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach was the absolute perfect DJ for our wedding. We (and our friends) like house music/new disco, but also cared about having music everyone knew (across generations) so everyone would be up and dancing. Zach totally understood us, and the progression throughout the night was perfect. We got aligned on vibes for different parts of the night (guest arrival, cocktail hour, dinner/speeches, start of party vs mid party vs end of party). He asked really good specific questions to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted (ie do you want this version vs this version; stopping this song at 48 seconds makes more sense that 52 seconds for an intro, etc.). He never made us feel stressed- he perfectly hits the balance of detail oriented and chill. We gave him a lot of base to work with (ie must hear these songs, this is the general vibe for this part of the night, here are a bunch of songs we'd like during cocktail hour but not a full hour worth) and then trusted his judgement to flesh everything out. He absolutely knocked it out of the park. All of our must plays were played, all of our "do not plays" were not played. Our parents were out and dancing all night, which is a tough feat to accomplish when playing music to also keep a younger crowd happy/engaged. There are a few songs that are special to our friend group, and singing/dancing to those at our wedding will forever be core memories. He made it SUCH a memorable party for us and our guests. It's clear that Zach is an experienced professional- it rained toward the end of cocktail hour and some of his equipment got wet. He needed to do a lot of pivoting in the moment, and guests were never aware of it. He kept the vibes going. Something people kept saying to us was, "I've never seen a bride and groom have this much fun at their own wedding." This had a ton to do with Zach, and we are so thankful we picked him to be there on our special day. 11/10; can't recommend him enough.

After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

I cannot say enough good things about Skylark Music. They were one of the best vendors we had at our wedding. Jesse and Justin were professional, prompt, flexible, and amazing performers as well. They listened to all of our ideas and brought our vision to life. They arrived in a monsoon of a rainstorm to set up and never complained. Thankfully we had a pavilion, otherwise, it would not have been possible. I know that multiple guests asked for their information to book them for a future party. They were truly amazing and responsive throughout the entire process. While our wedding day was beautiful, the music that inspired it made it that much better.

Justin is amazing! We found him when we went to a friends wedding and loved the fact that he did live music for the ceremony and cocktail and then DJ for the reception. We knew immediately we wanted to book him for ours. Justin is very talented and so easy going. He was great with the crowd and really captured the vibe we were going for. A lot of it we told him to use his best judgement and we couldn't of asked for better music. Everyone at our wedding raved about the music and dancing. It was truly a blast for all ages!

I happened to find Grant on here (Zola) and he really lives up to his reviews, as well as his sound! Grant was an excellent addition to our wedding reception, and I heard nothing but rave reviews all night. He really is a one-man band with a big brass sound. I requested 2 specialty songs for the first dance and father/daughter dance, as well as a PA Polka bridal dance tradition, and he really came through. If you are looking for a live musician, I cannot recommend Grant enough. His punctuation on response and arrival, overall sound and professionalism, and quality of service is outstanding.

FM3 Entertainment is a boutique entertainment company focused on music that our clients want to hear at their wedding. Each and every event is treated as unique as our couples choose it to be. We work with each couple determine their "musical personas" in order to put together a Soundtrack for their special day.

I cannot recommend FM3 Entertainment enough. Steve and Frank are phenomenal. Our wedding was in Stone Harbor, NJ but our families and friends are from New York to the suburbs of Philadelphia and we needed a company that would keep the party going for everyone from 20-90 years ago, and they did just that! They are an experienced duo that had great recommendations and asked us questions that you may not think of during the planning stages. They listened to all of our song requests as well as, more importantly, our do-not play list. When hiring a DJ you don't always think of how the company you choose will also be the MC or "host" of the night. Steve added special touches throughout his announcements while sticking to the flow of the night AND keeping the party going! The dance floor was packed all night and I continue to receive rave reviews from friends and family on how great the music was at our wedding. I recommend FM3 Entertainment for all your event needs!

The music package will vary depending on the group, number of performers, hours played, and more, so make sure to review all of the details in advance to ensure the soundtrack to your wedding plays without a hitch.

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.
