The Uptown Groove was the highlight of our wedding reception! From the moment we first spoke with them, the band was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, their energy and enthusiasm were infectious - they kept our guests dancing all night long with their fun, high-energy performance. The lead singer has an absolutely beautiful voice, and the musicians are all incredibly talented. The horn players were especially a hit, dancing and playing all around the venue, even getting up on the stairs at one point! Everyone loved The Uptown Groove and could not stop raving about them. We're so glad we chose them to be a part of our special day.

Jordan from Whirlin Disc Sound is hands down the best DJ you could ever hope to have at your wedding. From start to finish, he kept the energy up, the dance floor packed, and the vibe absolutely perfect. His ability to read the room and play exactly the right song at the right time was pure magic. Guests kept coming up to us raving about how they didn’t want to leave the dance floor because every single song was a hit—someone even joked they wished he’d play a bad song just so they could catch their breath! On top of that, Jordan was an amazing planner—he kept the evening running smoothly, made sure we stayed on schedule, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. He was a joy to work with throughout the planning process, and his positive, fun energy was infectious on the day of the wedding. If you want a DJ who can turn your wedding into the best party of your life, Jordan is the guy. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

  • Starts at $895
  • Serves Derby, NY

Hi! Thanks for viewing my profile! Highly experienced mobile entertainment professional providing outstanding services for a variety of different events. Specialty in weddings, formal/informal dance parties, other private events. I truly enjoy the 'nothing into something' process that happens when I see weeks and months of planning and work , creating a beautiful environment, that reflects the mood and personality of my clients. I love playing music for people, watching them be entertained, from 9 to 89.

We chose Steve to DJ our wedding, and he did an absolutely fantastic job. His communication was top notch, and he kept us in the loop about everything. We had a nice sit down about a month before to discuss specifics, and he sent everything via email for us to look at. His skills were amazing and kept everybody on the dance floor all night. He was very flexible about time and he agreed to stay an extra half hour for a very reasonable cost. His prices were much more fair than a lot of the big companies around here. Would recommend Steve to anyone who needs a DJ for their event.

We offer services for a wide variety of events and guarantee a night to remember. Our services include DJs, MCs, Sound, Lighting, Photobooths, Projections, Special Effects, and more.

Primo was our DJ at Rosebud Wedding Estates and he was outstanding for every minute from booking, to the planning process, and the day off. His assistants he brought along were extremely professional and helped out to make sure the transition from ceremony to reception went smoothly. And it sure did!! Primo’s dance floor lighting package and uplighting we added on transformed the venue and made it look astonishing. The moving head lights were an awesome touch for introductions and first dance etc. Guests did not stop coming up to us the whole night, talking about what a great DJ we chose and how awesome the music was. Primo essentially planned our whole wedding in terms of how the order of events went and provided all the additional vendors with a schedule of events. All of our calves hurt like crazy after dancing the night away!! Primo had our guests on the dance floor all night and he had to literally ask people to leave so we could do our last dance alone and then the sparkler exit. I cannot recommend Primo enough and will be sure to use him for any future events that we have. Primo is a true professional for his age and you would never guess he is still in college!!!

We feel we are setting a new standard for commitment to service in the WNY DJ community. We Are Here To Give You Your Day, Your Way You Bring The Love And We Will Bring The Sound See You On The Dance Floor

I can’t speak highly enough about this DJ. We found him through a promotion he was running with our photographers. Our venue was certainly not easy to deal with and was trying to control the entire wedding, cut our speeches short, and was rude to almost all of our vendors. However, Chris fought for us at every turn and made sure we had the best reception experience possible. He was incredibly helpful, punctual, made sure all of our wishes came true, all of the announcements we needed got said, and made the overall experience amazing. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty at any point during the reception, and this was definitely thanks to the high energy vibes he brings with him. I appreciated him so much for helping execute everything according to our vision and ensuring that we got our dream wedding.

Nick Battistella, Sinatra & More!

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $650
  • Serves Derby, NY

Nick Battistella is a Frank Sinatra / Dean Martin tribute singer based in Buffalo, New York. He has been performing at weddings, lounges, and special events since 2004. Nick is happy to sing locally in the Western New York area, or anywhere in the country. He has performed at weddings in Baltimore, North Carolina, and several times in Florida. Nick has been a recipient of a Buffalo Nite Life Music Award as top solo singer in Buffalo and would be honored to provide top quality entertainment for your cocktail, and dinner hour needs.

I happen to stumble upon Nick, and I really can’t remember how. All I can say is that we had him perform at our wedding and people would come up to us and tell us they thought we had Dean Martin playing on the speakers until Nick came near their table and say him singing. Just the ultimate performer. We had him for our wedding dinner hour and it was one of the highlights of our wedding. So good that we had him at my sisters wedding and other events. Not only is his singing and performances top notch, him and his wife Paula are great to work with. Can not say enough about Nick, his “crooning” ability and style and his vocal talents that will make your event STAND OUT.

His Passion 4 DJ’n Transitioned 2 A Different Clientele, Although His Love 4 Entertaining Has Always Remain The Same!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

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!
