Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!

My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM without question. Having worked with Madison Janice before (I work in hospitality events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans. We eventually decided on a smaller, intimate event in Malibu, and the 4AM team was BEYOND accommodating and understanding and we were so grateful to learn that TRE could DJ for us on the West Coast! Tre was incredible on our big day and kept our friends and family grooving all day – she provided the perfect soundtrack to the most spectacular Malibu day. We had a relatively specific preferences that weren’t necessarily typical wedding fare and she totally understood the vibe. We really could not be more grateful to TRE and the entire 4AM team for their help in making our big day a massive success.

Awarded Best of Zola
I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day.

We worked with Griffon asking questions and making changes until literally the day before our wedding. Not only was he able to accommodate to all of our requests, but everything was done so smoothly! Because of COVID restrictions in NJ, we had to keep our dance floor outside of our reception ballroom, and we were worried about the separation, we’d lose some participants on the dance floor. Boy, was I wrong! The transitions between rooms was unnoticeable, and we had the entire group dancing all night long. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a true dance party at their wedding!!

The Ocean Avenue Stompers are AMAZING. They were the band for our wedding in Asbury Park in August 2024, and we truly believe we had the best wedding band ever. From the start, we felt so lucky to have them as part of our special day. We worked closely with Ian throughout the planning process, and he was always so accommodating. When we were still in the decision phase, Ian was happy to hop on calls to talk through our vision and explain what the Stompers could offer. After seeing them live, it was a no-brainer for us. The energy they bring every time they perform is contagious, and it guarantees an incredibly fun time. After signing our contract, we met two times before our wedding day. Ian also sent us a questionnaire to keep all our ideas and plans organized. Ian was great at communicating with us throughout the process – despite being very busy with shows almost every night – and made sure the band would deliver the kind of party we dreamed of for our wedding. For our ceremony, we had three members of the band play, and they were amazing. Originally, we had only planned to have a guitarist, but after discussing the songs with Ian, he suggested adding the pianist and a trumpet player as well, which was a perfect combination. Ian then did a fantastic job DJ’ing and MC’ing our cocktail hour and dinner. Ian also worked closely with the venue to ensure the music flowed well through all the different spaces, which made a big difference. For the reception, we sent Ian a playlist with our general music vibe and right away he said he knew exactly what we were hoping for. We wanted the music to reflect the spirit of Asbury Park and steer clear of the typical wedding pop songs. The Stompers exceeded all expectations (which were already pretty high!). We had so much fun dancing the entire night and never left the dance floor because every song was one we wanted to hear. They kept the energy so high, making sure everyone, from our friends to our parents’ friends and family members, was having the best time. You could see it in the way all our guests were captivated by the band and smiling from ear to ear while watching them play. To this day, we are still getting compliments on the music and I’ve had many people tell me that next time we go to see the Stompers they want to come. The services we had were: 8 piece custom wedding band DJ add on Guitar / Piano / Trumpet Ceremony Services.
