Hi! I'm Jake, a.k.a. DJ Hooded Wolf. I'm a DJ based in NJ just outside of Philadelphia, PA. My career kick-started as the opening DJ for DJ Frequency, the mastermind behind the Grammy Award Winning track "Monster" by Eminem feat. Rihanna. Since then, I've been fortunate enough to perform at a wide range of events and venues, ensuring every moment is brimming with excitement. My passion lies in creating an electrifying atmosphere and curating unforgettable experiences for everyone present. Make your next event unforgettable with music provided by DJ Hooded Wolf!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jake was a fantastic DJ, he struck a great balance between keeping the party vibe strong without letting our guests turn the setlist into song request chaos. He helped us incorporate all of our unique wedding reception events into a seamless night. He also gave plenty of communication leading up to the event; we never worried that he would show up to our wedding without a plan or on a different page. He went above and beyond expectations bringing up planning considerations for our wedding we hadn't thought of ourselves. He even encouraged us to use him as a source of information for any and all wedding-related questions outside of DJ duties. Jake truly helped make our wedding a fun and memorable day. Highly recommend DJHoodedWolf for anyone looking for a professional, top-notch DJ experience!

We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!! We ended up booking Sound Society as a three piece string arrangement for our ceremony and as a 10-piece band for our reception with emcee duties and they hit it out of the park. Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night. A month later and we are still getting compliments about how alive our wedding band was! I spent two solid hours grooving on the dance floor and have no doubt you would do the same if you booked Sound Society.

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 Carteret, 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
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.

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!

So thankful I went with Jimmy Dee for my wedding. We just don’t have enough good things to say about them! From their App that allowed me to add and remove song options and make specific notes so anything I wanted in a very specific way was easy and clear. After that, our team took creative control and when I tell you my guests did not sit down for even a second!! Dinner was being served and they had to make an announcement for everyone to sit. So glad we went with them and they truly made our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!

Petya is absolutely incredible- she’s the best! From our first phone call, Petya was warm and welcoming, professional and enthusiastic. It felt like talking to an old friend. She made the music process easy and stress-free, and even learned a song for our ceremony. We did not have a DJ, so everything relied on the violin. The background tracks filled in the music beautifully, and you could tell Petya gave it her all and played her heart out, and EVERYONE knew it! We had so many compliments on her and her music. When it was time for her to finish up and have some dinner, she was invited to sit at multiple guest tables, and our family didn’t want her to leave! We cannot recommend Petya more! We consider her a friend now, and know that we will meet her again in the future!

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!

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!

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.

Jim and the band are wonderful! He is so communicative and always answers in a timely manner. And the band is AMAZING! You can really tell that they love what they do. Our dance floor was packed all night. My brother had them at his wedding, I had them at mine, and my sister in law's sister is having them at her wedding too - says a lot! Can't wait to spend another night on the dance floor.

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!

DJ Lee was incredible!!! Look no further you NEED to book Remixologists for your event. I spent hours reading reviews and vetting different vendors and Remixologists was honestly the best choice I made for my wedding reception! Specifically DJ Lee was AMAZING. He was super organized from the get go which was so helpful leading up to the wedding day. I had a fusion wedding and he seamlessly worked in Indian songs into the hiphop/pop/80s music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night! DJ Lee was also a great emcee and created the perfect mix of music and energy to get people of all ages out of their seats. I can't recommend Remixologists enough!! Thank you for making our night unforgettable!

Blaire Reinhard Band was absolutely amazing!!! From the minute I spoke with her, I knew they were the perfect fit for our wedding. We wanted a band that would get our guests up and dancing the whole night, and that is exactly what happened. Each member of the band was incredible and so talented. So many of our guests told us that it was the best band they've ever heard...and we agree!! We told them we trusted their music choice and they killed it! It was a perfect combination of old classics and newer fun music. If you want your wedding guests to be dancing the entire night, Blaire Reinhard Band is the band for you!

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!

She earned her master’s degree in classical violin performance, but she grew up playing folk and bluegrass music.

Bronwyn was amazing and played so beautifully for our ceremony. We cannot thank her enough and guests could not stop complementing on the music. She was so easy to work with, and played all the music we had picked out and more! Such a memorable thing to have at our wedding. I absolutely would recommend her for any event. It was so beautiful that I teared up waiting to walk down the aisle. She was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for everything an being a part of our big day.
