The Last Nites 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Central Islip, NY

We are the go-to band for folks who want an authentic performance that is miles away from the usual Broadway-styled wedding experience. Our band was put together one musician at a time to make sure we had the right chemistry. That's why when you invite us to your celebration, you will not have to worry about not getting the band you hired. The Last Nites are a real band made up of amazing musicians who love to play music for music's sake.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring The Last Nites to play our wedding was the best decision we made. We knew we wanted an authentic, fun, great-sounding live band for our big day. We love all genre of music and my husband is a huge fan of brass - and The Last Nites delivered! They have a wide variety of songs they play - I even discovered two new ones that have become my favorite - S.O.B and Miserlou - when listening to their list. We love country and they even delivered on country music. We even asked for a new song they had never played before - Pink’s Never Not Gonna Dance Again and learned it and played it. It was such a fun evening full of dancing and laughter. We also hired a brass trio to play at our cocktail hour and thought I worried it would be too loud in the small cocktail room - they were perfect. How they played brass softly is beyond me but they are incredibly talented. Thank you for making our wedding day one we will always remember!

Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!

My name is Taryn. My wife Brittany and I were married at Swan Lake Golf Club on 9/22/23, and it may have just been the best day of our lives. We had the pleasure of being recommended High Voltage by Swan Lake and little did we know just how great that recommendation truly was! While it’s taken a minute to write this review, I wanted to have the time to fully express just how amazing High Voltage was, and how I genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been what it was without the amazing efforts of the High Voltage team! From the minute that I began speaking with Anthony and Angelo, it was a similar experience as with finding Swan Lake– I knew they were our DJ’s! Not only did they have everything we could have ever wanted or needed equipment wise, but they were so motivated and excited to work our wedding! My consult at their office was completely informative and so easy! While I don’t think I was a difficult bride, I had big ideas haha. Being that Swan Lake has several rooms and different areas, and music was so important to Britt and I, I had a unique vision to have different music playing in different rooms of the venue. I was sooo prepared to be told it wasn’t possible! But they did it and it was absolutely AMAZING. We did not have a sit down dinner service, but more like an endless cocktail hour, so guests were moving around all night… Every room had a different vibe, with music to match, all throughout the evening!. You were listening to alternative/emo in the bar and the foyer.. Mellow electronic in the ballroom and non stop epic dance track after dance track on the patio dance floor ALL. NIGHT. Every room I walked in and out of was filled with people having THE best time! Every announcement was made properly, everything was ran by me throughout the night and the guys kept me consistently in the loop (thwarting several not so great requests haha). They brought in and installed the most glorious red, orange and yellow colored uplighting throughout the entire venue– which COMPLETED my fall themed decor, it looked absolutely stunning. The entire night looked and sounded so beautiful and such a HUGE thanks goes to the High Voltage team. Thank you for making my music and lighting dreams come true, guys! Britt and I are eternally grateful! T&B

Rus and Dennis are amazing. They have a great set up, lighting and sound systems. They are able to adapt to the ever changing vibes of the guests to keep things fun, people dancing, and get everyone excited!

You and Andrew worked your magic to keep that dance floor rocking, and you knew just when to push the right buttons to keep everything moving. We never had to worry about a thing.

Your attention to detail truly made a difference. And Mike—please let him know our guests loved the photo booth! Shark-Bait-Woo-haha! It was a hit! And OMG, everyone was obsessed with our percussionist Justin! That little jumping bean is beyond talented! He brought such an incredible energy to the party, and his performance added so much life to the night. Seriously, thank you for everything.

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!!!
