Awarded Best of Zola
I first experienced the party and excitement of Goody Blue Shoes at a local restaurant in 2014, from that moment I wanted them to preform at my wedding. Fast forward 9 years, my then boyfriend, Daniel and I got engaged and knew exactly who we wanted to call. As we reminisce on our wedding day, Daniel and I cannot express how blessed and grateful we were to have the opportunity to work with John. From the moment we called him to ask questions, each and every meeting, until the end of our fairy tale wedding, John and his team were amazing- words cannot describe. John was so patient, caring and willing to do whatever it took to turn our dream wedding into a reality! We had a few songs played during the night for special reasons for loved ones and GBS were absolutely top notch. I cannot imagine our wedding without Goody Blue Shoes preforming our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Booking GBS, you and your guests are guaranteed to have the night of your lives! -Daniel and Gina Crawford

Imagine your guests entering your reception to the sounds of violins as they arrive to your venue, then enter your ceremony or cocktail to the sounds of a string or classical ensemble. Let us show you how to start your party off right and give your guests a “sense of arrival".

We had the pleasure of having Phase One perform at our wedding for the ceremony, reception, and after-party, and they absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were engaged not only with us but with the entire crowd. Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their set list kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music! A special shout out to our Band leader Rich who made the process so easy!

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Mushmouth is an absolutely incredible band—they had people asking us all night (and still to this day) how I found them. I think I turned quite a few of our wedding guests into Mushmouth groupies! From the beginning they were very accommodating, always quick to respond and accommodating to our song requests. They have a huge set list to select from no matter what your taste is, and they even learned new songs just for us so that we could do our first dance with live music. It really felt like we were part of a live concert just for us at our wedding. They sound so amazing and not only are they truly talented musicians, but they are also incredible performers who got everyone to dance and sing along. I received compliments all night that they were the best cover band anyone had ever heard. Mushmouth made our wedding day extra special, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

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
I looked forward to every Tuesday night when my friends and I would gather at Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill to watch The Barnstorm and dance until we couldn’t feel our feet. I knew in 2017 that one day I would get married and I wanted to recreate this wonderful feeling that I would get every Tuesday night. WELL, joke’s on me because I got that feeling and more. I do not even have words for the atmosphere that The Barnstorm created on our wedding day. Leading up to that day, Brooks was INCREDIBLY attentive to the hundreds of questions that I bombarded him with on a daily basis. He walked me through pricing, how the first dances would go, what kind of music gets played during dinner – every question came with an immediate follow up and a “how are you doing?” – completely above and beyond what a typical wedding band would provide. And that was before our wedding day even happened! The day of was indescribable. The atmosphere provided by The Barnstorm was absolutely electric and had every single person on the dance floor from 8 pm to 1130 pm. I genuinely feel like our wedding was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band is absolutely magnetic. To top it off about one week after our wedding, as we were reliving the day, I get a text message from a friend saying “we booked your wedding band!”. They are THAT freaking good. If you want to have the best night of your entire life PLEASE look no further than The Barnstorm.

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!

If I could give Sweet Tea 100 stars, I would. My, now, husband and I held our wedding last week and I am still caught up in such a whirlwind from such a love felt, joyous weekend. Partly in thanks to Lori and Scott who are true GEMS. Anyone who has them perform at their event, are incredibly lucky. They will not disappoint! We received SO MANY compliments on our ceremony and cocktail hour musicians & choices of music which of course, is accredited to Sweet Tea. I am already thinking of future events to have them at. Lori is beyond sincere, kind, and her love for music shined from our first phone conversation. Lori and Scott, you made our day that much more special. Thank you, eternally!

Music makes the wedding! In fact, it's the centerpiece of your wedding - and a great, joyous, dynamic wedding band will make your event truly special and memorable. The Love Revival Orchestra is not your typical Wedding Band. We are able offer boutique-style service because we are a REAL band - with world-class musicians who've played hundreds of gigs together and are great friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
Love Revival Orchestra has performed at Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home many, many times over the last 5 years. They are professional, kind, courteous and respectful to our unique property. Their musicianship is spectacular and are very savvy to nuances of performing at weddings. Their ability to read the crowd and play the appropriate music at the appropriate time is unsurpassed. We are particularly enchanted by the "Dixieland Band" style approach to transitioning guests from our cocktail site to our reception space. Love Revival Orchestra is a GREAT wedding band. Music at a wedding is the heart and soul of the event and can make or break it. You and your guests will have an excellent time if you have the opportunity to work with Love Revival Orchestra. I'd suggest booking them right now, before someone else does!

Hoi Polloi

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.

Hoi Polloi - 10/10 having a band was super important to us. Hoi Polloi was everything we could have hoped for and more! They played all the music we asked for and were great to work with from the start. We booked them for our ceremony, our cocktail hour, and had 11 people with horns and a DJ. They were fantastic to work with and we loved working with them. Jim is super responsive which makes a difference. He made sure the band knew all the music we wanted to play and they even interacted with guests (which I loved).They are also VERY reasonably priced and should probably charge more! They were great. I think the biggest compliment is that people from all ages kept saying they loved them which was perfect to me. They opened with Runaround Sue which is one of the best wedding songs in the world. Everyone got on the dance floor once that song came on and they didn’t leave.

From DJing college house parties to packed clubs to music festivals, I've experienced the thrills of creating EPIC events through music. Weddings should be no different, but it requires a personal touch that brings out the stylistic uniqueness of each couple. I still remember having my own epic wedding dance party with my friends & family 10 years ago, and my goal is to give our couples the same! Remixologists is our team of talented like-minded DJs who share the client-focus & music versatility that I believe make the difference between having a good wedding and an AMAZING ONE for the ages!

The Party Can't Stop Won't Stop! I need to think of an excuse to gather friends and family together just so that I can have DJ Taiga spin again. Simon was incredibly responsive from the get go and organized – he had a special spreadsheet and website to organize the various aspects of the day and when/if music will be needed). And that’s just who he is from a business standpoint. In terms of his abilities as a DJ, let’s just say the dance floor was packed all night and people were disappointed the night had to end. He even got my dad to dance; it was literally the first time in my life I’ve seen my dad dance. SIMON’S THAT GOOD. I gave him a list of songs/genres and he took those inspirations to create a dance mix that was, as the youths call it, LIT AF.

Hi! We’re Philly-area DJs and new to Zola but not to the art of crafting perfect wedding soundtracks for your big day. Put simply - We integrate ALL your favorite songs into the mix! We are always attentive to your needs and requests and work with you every step of the way. We also stand apart from other DJs with the breadth and depth of our musical knowledge and ability to “read the crowd” — which only comes after 20+ years of experience. and hundreds of events.

I don't know where to begin! First and foremost, book DJ Nate for your wedding ASAP! My fiancé(now husband) and I were looking for a DJ that was not your typical, "gaudy, corny, and obnoxious" wedding DJs these days. He was professional, organized, accommodating, and easy to talk to. Our first initial "meet-up" was through the phone. He listened to all our suggestions and helped plan our reception timeline to the T. His recommendations were spot on when we were unsure of things. His website was also easy to use. It helped us to start up the wedding reception program, add songs we loved( and hated lol), and everything else you can think of while planning the reception program. He was also very prompt with answering back emails and phone calls. He even took his time to ask us how to properly pronounce ALL the bridal entourage's full names(Filipino last names are a little tricky when it comes to proper pronunciation, and he nailed it during the reception!). Guests came up to me and said his voice was perfect! They liked how HE WAS NOT obnoxiously screaming through the mic to hype up the crowd. He let his music do the "talking." My husband and I danced the night away. Our dance floor was full the entire time, and this is not an exaggeration. Our full wedding video without a doubt showed how everyone was on the dance floor enjoying themselves. We are VERY PICKY with our music, and DJ Nate literally played all the songs we wanted. DJ Nate did an absolute amazing job with our reception music. Seriously guys, book him for your wedding/event. We cannot recommend DJ Nate from Terrace DJ enough. THANK YOU, THANK YOU NATE!

I’m a planner who worked with Madison and her team of exceptional musicians on a wedding at the iconic Rainbow Room. They were easy to communicate with and made themselves available to work through and trouble shoot any songs or moments that were critical to our timeline. Better yet, the music was phenomenal and they went above and beyond that day to keep the energy high and the guests happy. I’m eager to work with them again and cannot recommend them more!
