He kept our dance floor full the entire night, he took care of displaying home videos on a projector during the daddy/daughter and mother/son dances, we booked a trio to play live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and all of this came out beautifully!

Hiring DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin) was the best decision we made when going through the process of hiring our vendors. I am very particular about my music and it was a TOP priority that we worked with someone that understood our vibe, vision, and overall music selection for our big day. He was such a pro and knew what to ask for our venue's AV set up, music prep, and even attending rehearsal which was totally optional for him to join. Kevin understood everything from the timing of the music for the processional, and most importantly my big entrance down the aisle. When it was time to party, he spun all the tunes I requested and also went above and beyond to DJ the most FUN set ever!!! One of my highlights from the day was my husband and I dancing to one of our favorite house tracks that I didn't even request. He just had the perfect song queued up for the right time!!! I can't imagine what the day would have been without him. He had all our guests up and dancing including my parents and uncles and aunties. The vibes were immaculate!!! Above all, his personality is so kind and chill which is the kind of person you want to be working with for such a big life event. I cannot highly recommend him enough!

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.

  • Starts at $1,500

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

Packed dance floor, non-stop party, every guest raving after the last song; if this is your vision, say hello to Mod Society!

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!

There, Tony gained significant expertise in the private event sector, including weddings, birthdays, and branded events.

He was kind, positive, confident, and professional, which took so much stress off of me as the bride. Our wedding was in a remote location with service and power issues and he dealt with technical troubles (not his fault, a problem with the venue) so professionally, positively, and quickly. I would absolutely recommend Tony to anyone and everyone looking for a DJ for any occasion.

Honey+Vinyl 

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Production company

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

We hired Honey & Vinyl for our wedding and liked them so much we had them back for our anniversary party. Honey has an amazing voice and spent time with us to not only create a personalized song list but also understand the "mood" we were trying to create for our events. The group's performance at both events was nothing short of spectacular and really added the extra "wow" we were seeking.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!
