Awarded Best of Zola
The Hook Club was by far the coolest musicians I was able to find in terms of having an NYC night out vibe, and not a typical "wedding" vibe. We had a bass and guitar duo for our cocktail hour. They were super nice and awesome musicians. It started raining an hour into our cocktails so we had to move inside, and the bassist switched to playing a piano so that we could continue the music inside. Everyone was so impressed by how multi-talented they were!! Loved them and wish we had them play music for more of our reception. Dan, the founder, as well as the rest of their staff were incredibly organized and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!!

I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

I simply cannot express in words how grateful I am to Kevin, Tiffany, Emmanuel, and the entire team at Seduction Soundz for their excellent service and professionalism from beginning to end throughout the process of planning our wedding. My husband and I got married just over two weeks ago and Emmanuel, our MC, as well as Kevin, our DJ, brought the exact energy we needed for our wedding reception. Tiffany kept consistent communication through the process with everything involving the music and vision for our special day. Every bride goes through such a vast array of positive and negative emotions the day of, but by the end of the reception, my husband and I were drenched in sweat from dancing the last few hours of our reception. Not a single guest was left sitting in their seats in the end and I have so many hilarious and fun videos of myself and my family having an amazing time.

Big weddings, small weddings, outdoor ceremonies in gracious gardens, intimate funky venues, you name it, I've done them all. But don't get me wrong, no matter how many weddings are in my future, never ever will it be a matter of being there, done that. No matter how many weddings I do, all my energy goes into each. For those precious few hours I am more than just a wedding dj in the Tri state area, I'm proud to say I am part of countless couple's lives.

DJ Thrilla (Arthur) was an incredible presence at our wedding. His energy and vibe is unmatched. I have been to over 15 weddings throughout my lifetime and our party could not be stopped. I (the bride) am Greek and the groom is Irish. DJ Thrilla was able to incorporate both Greek dancing music and classic wedding hits into the mix. The wedding guests were on the dance floor for a full 4 hours. It was truly a night to remember! OPA! He even sent us a 1 minute wedding video compiling multiple snippets of dancing from our special night. Hell of a bonus.

With so many having ceremonies in one location and a reception in an other, I am capable of providing music for both locations.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Not many words can sum up the powerhouse of talent that encompasses MikeMusic: musician, producer, but most importantly a deejay that transcends genres. As a purveyor of eclectic beats and soul tapping sounds, he instinctively knows the perfect soundtrack for any celebration. To witness MikeMusic on the turntables is to take a ride through his mixed spectrum of musical influences. He has attended some of the most prestigious institutes for musical training, including The Julliard School, to nurture his natural talent on the trumpet. “Music is my passion. I take listeners on a journey, whether it’s through my horn or through the speakers."

The way I feel about MikeMusic is far beyond just words. He’s classy, funny, down to earth, smart, professional & then some! Booking him for our wedding was a no brainer because of his unique style of play, and also because he has the same taste in music as me & my wife. Whether it be hip hop, reggae, kompa, salsa, merengue or soca, Mike is well versed in all of these genres & knows how to rock the crowd! He also has a great setup & treats your wedding day like it was his own. If you don’t hire this man for your wedding day you’re friggin’ crazy! He’s the best in the business!
