Our wedding harpist, Terrease Aiken, was an absolute dream come true! From the start, she was incredibly organized and timely, making the whole process seamless. Her willingness to incorporate our personal song choices into her repertoire was a beautiful and meaningful touch. Her attentiveness and responsiveness in the months leading up to the wedding were truly exceptional. On the big day, she surpassed ALL expectations!! Her performance was nothing short of magical, and our guests can't stop raving about her talent and unique style. She added a level of enchantment that made our special day truly unforgettable.

Jay was our DJ at our wedding this past April 2024 and he was great. His energy is infectious and he was so easy to work with. They have an app that you can download and add specific songs to with comments on why/when the song should be played which my wife and I thought was awesome. We felt like we had enough control over what music was being played while also letting Jay do his thing. If there was one critique I would give, it was the order of songs sometimes that were being played...at one moment, it would be "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles, then the next song would be "A Milli" by Lil Wayne. While both of those songs are hits in their own right, sometimes it felt like things were a bit all over the place...And, to be fair and honest, I don't think many people even noticed it and it doesn't take away from how awesome Jay and his crew are. Would 10 of 10 recommend to any other friends looking for wedding entertainment, and I've already suggested Jay and onTheBeat to at least 1-2 friends who were at the wedding last month. Go Jay!

The Hook Club

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500

Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands. Owned and operated by a tight-knit community of musicians, they are known for their attention to every musical detail and the professionalism they bring to every event. Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

Awarded Best of Zola
DO NOT HESITATE to book The Hook Club! Words cannot express how incredible their performance was... you had to be there. We had many musicians in the crowd who were blown away with the talent on the stage. Not only did they display excellent musicianship, but their energy was unparalleled. They got the crowd on their feet over and over again, myself and my blisters included. The main singers came out into the dance floor during the bangers, which our guests loved. Each singer had a repertoire that perfectly suited their talents, and we loved how they exploited that. It was really fun to see them indulging in off-the-charts vocalizing. (And also rapping that had me shook!) We truly felt like they were having as great a time as we were. Jesse served as an excellent MC, introducing our toasts in a humorous and timely manner. Our communication was great, including on the spot decisions (we asked for an extra 15 minute break during dinner, because when they were playing, no one could stop dancing!). Jesse was calm, professional, and light-hearted. I was very impressed by how he carried himself. The planning process we used was thorough and simple, including only two zoom meetings. The Hook Club has tons of songs to choose from, and can probably learn anything you throw their way. Another huge bonus of The Hook Club is that they have so many members, so they can cobble a group together that best suits your desires. Again, I cannot recommend this group highly enough. I feel like they truly made the night, and we are indebted to them! Many guests said it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding! Hiring this group might have been our best investment of the night. Props and endless thanks to everyone who tried so hard for us.

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Live instrumental music was a special touch we wanted to add to our wedding day and Sweet Harmony made that happen. My now husband and I knew that we wanted to have music for our ceremony to accompany us and our loved ones as we walked down the aisle and it was a decision that we both cherish. Working with Sweet Harmony was super easy. Karen was very responsive and helpful at offering guidance and affirming our music choices. The team was also very flexible with us when we had to shift our wedding (we had three dates in total, spanning a year) and accommodated us with no problem and honored our original pricing. It was such a stressful time but Sweet Harmony didn’t add to any of that stress, in fact I’m grateful that they were so easy to work with when it came to logistics. The musicians were incredible! We ended up hiring a cellist and violinist and their talent blew me away. I didn’t actually get to meet them on our wedding day but they arrived on time, played beautiful music and everyone commented on what a romantic addition it was to our day. I’ll never forget that feeling of walking down the aisle to Beyonce’s Love on Top and then holding hands with my husband as All You Need is Love played in the background. I would highly recommend Sweet Harmony to anyone who wants to add some extra romance to their day and is looking to do so on a budget and with great people. Music is so important and can help create such a special mood, especially on your wedding day, and Sweet Harmony is the way to go.

We want your guests to leave saying, “that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so thrilled that we found the Met Players for our wedding. They were recommended to me by a friend of mine in the wedding music industry, and we are very, very satisfied with our decision to work with them. We contacted and booked the Met Players shortly before the pandemic reached the east coast - We are so thankful for their generosity and flexibility during the postponement and rescheduling process, and for their commitment to safety. We worked with Erin and Mandy in the planning stages, and they were both so kind and professional - truly above and beyond. We trusted them completely with the details and knew we were in very good hands. The Met Players offer a fantastic value. Our band learned a bunch of new songs for us, they were able to be flexible with our varying musical needs throughout the event, and they delivered both gorgeous music and stellar management (big shoutout to Jaclyn, our day-of coordinator!). We love music (and love to dance), and this amazing band kept the party going for four beautiful hours. Our guests loved them, we loved them, and I hope to find myself at a Met Players wedding again soon!

As homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJs, we allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. We keep things simple and straightforward so you can focus on the most important part of it all — marrying your partner, soulmate and best friend. What you won’t get? A stereotypical, cheesy DJ stealing the spotlight and breaking up the music with bad jokes and unnecessary interruptions. You deserve better. Expect a personal and individualized celebration with great music, precise attention to detail and a fun-filled dance party — all based on 15 years of wedding experience.

Aria melody assigned DJ Jaime to our wedding. Let’s just say, our dance floor was PACKED the entire night. We had two logistics calls leading up to our event so that Jaime made sure that he had all the details he needed to made our event flawless, which he did. Jaime listened to our preferences and curated a playlist that had our guests so exhausted from dancing that half of them didn’t make it to the after party! Would highly recommend aria melody for your party needs!

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.

Apart from the photographer, Kent was the best investment we made for our wedding. He made sure that our wedding felt alive and kept the guests happy with his talented mixes. We gave him full creative control because we had been to other events where he performed and never left disappointed so naturally he had to play at our most memorable event. My wife, our friends and family were having a blast! You know the party is good when grandma wants to get on the dance floor and half the party is sweaty haha If you want your wedding to be the one everyone else is talking about then Kent is your guy!

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.

Full disclosure, my wife and I have known Jon for a long time. He is one of the most honest, transparent, trustworthy and hard-working, and talented people I’ve ever met. Separate of that, I just simply wouldn’t trust anyone else when it comes to music for events and weddings. When Dara and I got married, Jon was producing weddings and bandleading for one of the bigger wedding band agencies in New York. Because of our trust in him and because we wanted him to be the bandleader, we hired that company for our wedding and it was the best decision we could’ve made. The party was absolutely epic!!! Our guests kept coming up to us and commenting on how the band was incredible. It was obvious that Jon was one of the main reasons why - having been a major part of their operations for several years at that point. We are absolutely ecstatic that he started The Brooklyn Beats! We know that countless parties and weddings will also agree that it was the best choice to have his team of talented and professional artists rock the house! We can’t wait to renew our vows and work with Jon again!

We saw the Jon Bates Band perform at our friends' wedding in Vermont a number of years ago. My now-husband and I knew (before we were even engaged!) that we wanted these guys to play our wedding, should we get to that point together. Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing. I can honestly say that it could not have gone better, nor could we have enjoyed it more. I highly recommend this group of talented musicians.

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.

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!

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!

Unfortunately, he wasn't personally able to play our wedding due to the postponement but he coordinated a wonderful pianist who made our ceremony and cocktail hour beautiful and inviting.

Made up of real friends with real musical chemistry and a true love and passion for the songs that we play, The Cool Rulers cater to clients seeking an alternative to your typical flashy top 40 event bands.

We used The Cool Rulers as the band for our wedding reception and they were AMAZING. Getting the music / band right at our wedding was one of our top priorities and I have to say, the entire process was enjoyable and smooth - Charles was extremely responsive and fun to work with and all the band members were so so talented. They have a really solid song list to pick from - there are so many great song son there that was hard to pick our top selections, but we also found that Charles was able to really match the “vibe” we were going for based on the song list we sent through to him. So the entire set list was absolutely perfect and fabulous. They also played live music for our processional / recessional as well as our cocktail hour, which was great - I really liked that we were able to to have live music throughout the wedding afternoon, and it was perfectly tailored to each moment (acoustic guitarist for the ceremony, jazz trio for the cocktail hour). I know that our wedding planners also found the band really easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend The Cool Rulers if you want a fantastic, energetic band who knows how to get your guests to boogie down on the dance floor!!

My husband and I have really diverse tastes in music, and the crowd at our wedding was honesty a weird mix, so Ernest and Marlowe had their work cut out for them. Pros: -Had a cool app you could plug all your music into, incredibly detailed. -The MC was an absolute hoot -Tried very hard to get the guests to dance. -Everything was set up in time and looked nice. -Open communication, could accommodate our venue needs. Cons: -(my biggest issue) The DJs phone was hooked up to the ceremony speakers, he got a message as I was walking down the aisle. Funny in retrospect, upsetting at the time. -Would skip songs midway through. Have a very funny video of the groom and groomsmen singing a song and the DJ stopped playing it midway through. -My nephew requested "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and for some reason he played the instrumental version? It was really weird. If you're a really type A bride I wouldn't go for Electrified DJs. If you're planning your wedding like its a big party for you and your guests? Have at it

I hired this agency for our hedge fund company anniversary in London and as well for my daughter's wedding in South of France. Steve and Patryce were amazing listeners. We also loved the fact that they are a couple that work hard together for their family and have strong work ethics. We did not know that Steve was such a awesome drummer: My God! We thought he just ran the company. We understand why his network of musicians is so large. I will definitely hire them again. They made me look great in front of my high net worth clients and partners and everyone was on the dance floor at my daughter 's wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Your wedding band was amazing,” was what I heard the most from my guests after they remised about the night, and everyone is right, The Last Nites are amazing. Waylan and team put on a show and made my wedding night unforgettable. Music was huge for me so when I went to hire a wedding band, I went to a lot of shows before booking. The Last Nites was by far the best band I went to see. From their song selection, to the way they work the stage, if you’re not dancing it’s because you’re sitting and you’re most likely still bopping your head. We hired TLN for the entirety of the wedding: Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All of it was perfect. For the song selections, we were able to choose a good amount of songs that we liked from their wide array of songs, and then TLNs put together a set list based on our tastes, which, they nailed. They learned our first dance, a father-daughter dance, and also a ceremony procession song, all of which were perfect. I’ve always wanted to walk to a song from my favorite video game and although it seemed really hard and somewhat impossible, Waylan made sure it happened. I still get emotional thinking about the rendition I was lucky enough to walk to, it really made my wedding day that more special. Everything about working with The Last Nites was perfect, and they made my wedding that much more amazing; it felt like I wasn’t at a wedding, but a show where everyone was on the floor dancing. The team showed up on time, set up, and looked amazing. Everything was super professional and on point. I can’t recommend The Last Nites enough, and anyone who attended my wedding, or I bet even sees them perform, would say the same.

And both weddings were completly different so he can customize! Not only is he so nice and so much fun but he is amazing at what he does. He kept the entire wedding dancing all night and our guests kept raving about him days later.

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 booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone.
