Awarded Best of Zola
Sweet Harmony did an exceptional job with live music for my wedding ceremony. However, I must say (Judith-captain of quartet) that Sweet Harmony brought my vision to life through music. The goal was for the wedding ceremony music to tell a story of overcoming trials and tribulations and overcoming all to achieve victory and finding happiness. I can honestly say that the goal was overwhelmingly accomplished by Sweet Harmony and their team of talented musicians. Judith and her team of musicians were artists. Their performance of Goodbye Brother was emotion invoking and endearing. Truly an awe inspiring song brought to life. The Light of Seven was exceptional. The Rains of Castamere performance was strong. Not one dry eye in the wedding ceremony. A masterful and world class performance. My guests were truly entertained and Judith took everyone in attendance on a emotion packed journey. From sorrow and loss to victory and triumph. From overcoming tremendous trials and tribulations with dignity and integrity to finding happiness in family and the love of my life. I can go on and on about Sweet Harmony but all I will say is that my only regret is not being able to listen to every single moment of their performance and to experience the emotional journey they took everyone on. Truly a remarkable experience. Thank you Tara. Thank you Phillip and thank you Judith for everything.

It was such a pleasure working with Marcus! For reference, my husband and I partnered with him for our wedding. From the moment we sent an initial inquiry to the day of our wedding, Marcus was extremely responsive and organized. He left us with a great first impression when we formally met (over Zoom! Very accommodating) but what impressed us the most was our last meeting. He asked us to fill out a wedding worksheet in preparation for the call, which asked such detailed questions about every aspect of the night, even details we did not think of i.e., song for cake cutting, song for bouquet toss, etc. When we had our last call, he reviewed every input thoroughly, provided great suggestions on how to optimize duration of songs for every special moment, and was extremely accommodating with sound/equipment. We also appreciated how considerate he was when working through introductions i.e., practiced pronouncing the names of our parents bridal party, asked us how we wanted to be introduced, asked us how we wanted to introduce our parents for their special dances, etc. The day of our wedding, our guests were having so much fun on the dance floor, kids included! Marcus was also so great about adjusting the music to the vibe of the night. The transitions from song to song were smooth and nothing felt abrupt or out of place. Additionally, we understand that preparing music sets is an artform, but Marcus was so accommodating with any song requests that came down from our guests. We were confident in our decision with him but knew he was truly THE ONE seeing how meticulous he was at work. We also felt his sincerity seeing how excited he was to celebrate with us :) We highly recommend working with Marcus for your next major event - you will not be disappointed!

Jay absolutely made our wedding!! The dance floor was packed the entire time. He understood the vibes and read the room so well. Leading up to the day, Jay was super communicative — answering every question we had and keeping us on track to make sure every music detail was thought about. Plus, the app he provided for planning made song selection and special requests seamless, collaborative and super manageable! The DJ / instrumental fusion he offers brought the dance floor to the next level!

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!

DJ Lennox was my sisters DJ for her wedding- I was the maid of honor and also the florist, so I got to get to know DJ Lennox as a guest and also a vendor. There’s honestly not enough words to describe so freakin cool he is. His attention to detail is on point, he can hype up even the most boring crowd, and he has the greatest personality. My sister also rented the Photo Booth and I’m SO glad she did. Everyone had a blast with it & DJ Lennox’s assistant was just as cool as he is. She was so much fun, so sweet, and so funny. We had a blast. Someday when I plan a wedding- he’ll be my first phone call.

  • Serves Garden City, NY

Based out of Brooklyn, NY, DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin Lim) is a 20+ year professional open format DJ that brings a unique blend of nightlife, wedding, & event experience to the wedding process and day-of. With a DJ style thats both engaging & fitting at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

Kevin is AMAZING!!! He DJed our wedding celebration in May 2024, and WOW - he was 100000% our dream DJ. We had eloped a year earlier, so our "vision" for the night was to have an epic dance party with all of our friends - Kevin understood this immediately, and delivered truly beyond our wildest imagination! He kept the vibes moving during cocktail hour, and then seriously BROUGHT THE PARTY. The dancefloor was packed for over 3 hours straight. It felt like every single person there asked us where we had found our DJ, and they couldn't believe the mixes he was doing on the fly!! From the moment I first reached out to him in January right up until the end of the event, Kevin was consistently professional, upbeat, and efficient. He replied to all communication quickly, and was SO thoughtful in his preparation. He provided a shared document months ahead of time so that we could share music and scheduling info, and on the night of the event it was so evident that he had paid attention to every single detail ever mentioned in the document, over Zoom, or on our site visit. Every single must-play song came on at the perfect time, he managed to source very specific remixes that I had mentioned, and he kept the night running on schedule with such a chill, stress-free, and adaptable vibe. Kevin even introduced us to his colleague Richie for dance lights when we were debating our lighting options, which also ended up being absolutely perfect! I cannot stress enough how collaborative and understanding Kevin is, how smooth the process was, and most importantly - what a KILLER DJ he is. He truly wants to deliver the night of your dreams. My heart felt like it was going to explode in the best way multiple times that night, because of all the incredible, better-than-you-could-ever-have-imagined dancefloor moments. I wish we had an excuse to do it all over again, I would work with Kevin again in a heartbeat!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Naked Soul (led by Tony and Tom Perrone) absolutely ROCKED at our wedding! Tons of friends and family told us during and afterwards that they were the best wedding band they'd seen, and we might be biased, but we agree wholeheartedly. They were also pretty great to work with, and as a result music was one of the least stressful parts of planning and one of the best memories of the event. The planning process was extremely professional — we had a few calls with Tony to talk over the vibe we were going for in the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance floor. They sent over a list of a couple hundred songs in their repertoire and we picked 20 or so to anchor their idea of what we were looking for and selected our processionals, recessional, first dance, and parent-child dances. Our first dance was not on their list but they learned it and killed it in their performance. Our venue was a little non-traditional (relatively small room for the dance floorband) and we weren't sure that a full band was going to work in the space, but Tony put us at ease and pulled it off amazingly. One of the points Tony made in the run-up was that the songs we were picking were recommendations, not a set list. The band was going to follow the vibe and play more of whatever style was working with the crowd. This made it so much easier for us to pick songs, and in the end they played a lot of stuff that wasn't in our pics but went over better than we could have dreamed. I never thought I'd say that the best songs at my wedding were from the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and Black Eyed Peas. They knew their audience and the place went wild when they played Everybody (Backstreet's Back). The range of songs that a 10-piece band with a full array of vocalists can pull off is wild. Anyway, 10/10, would book again. If you're in the New York area and looking for a party we can't recommend Perrone Bros/Naked Soul highly enough. Bonus, these pics were taken by Tony and posted to their Instagram after the event.

Lucas was recommended to us as "the DJ you want to hire if you want someone you can trust to keep your dance floor full and to read the crowd to keep your party going," which immediately appealed to us. We live in Brooklyn, and got married in the Catskills, and found out that Lucas also DJs regularly at some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. From our first contact with Lucas, he was responsive, kind, interested in getting to know us and our taste, and super professional. We connected on a personal level as well as on a musical one. Now, having had Lucas DJ our wedding and supply all of the audio equipment, we can't recommend him highly enough. The audio for our ceremony and speeches worked without a hitch (he also helped to professionally feed our ceremony audio/music into our livestream setup), Lucas knew exactly the right moments to take cues for music, and when the dance party began, he played great music that totally matched our vibe and tastes, and as promised, he kept the dance floor full all night (no small feat, especially because we downsized our wedding to 60 guests). In addition to being an excellent DJ, he's also a great guy to be around, and on your wedding day, it's really nice to feel like you are surrounded by people you want to spend time with. Multiple people came up to us to ask about Lucas during and after our wedding, because he was that exceptional. Hire him and you will be so glad you did! Couldn't ask for more in a DJ.

DJ Joe was absolutely phenomenal. We were so lucky to have him on our special day! He is so caring and really looked to understand our music selection before our big day. He kept the dance floor packed all night long, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. As one of our guests said "your DJ Slapped", new slang for "your DJ was excellent". He seamlessly blended our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to help make our special day perfect!

Music was the hardest decision for us when approaching vendor selection for our wedding. We wanted a chill vibe for our "rustic elegant" barn wedding, and music that would work for a relaxed family style dinner, dance floor for those who wanted to dance, and chilling by the fire pits with s'mores later. Ryan completely understood our vibe and delivered! His live music during dinner was amazing - we had heard his YouTube videos and they don't do justice to his live performance! Later Ryan switched from live music to DJing and he masterfully balanced the energy for all of our wedding guests. Guests could enjoy conversations at the table while still hearing each other, the dance floor was hoppin from little nieces and nephews up to grandparents and the fireside ambiance outside was on point. As an added bonus, his dance floor lights looked magical on the barn beams. This guy is the real deal, and is unique in the industry with both live and DJ music all in one! We would definitely hire him for any gig!

We hired Gerald and his 5-piece band ("The Plus Ones") for our wedding last September and CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! From the very beginning, Gerald was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, listening to our requests and going above and beyond to create a personalized setlist that perfectly represented our taste. Gerald’s ability to fill in the blanks and suggest songs that complemented our selections was truly impressive. The band’s seamless integration of our requests created a truly memorable experience for our wedding, one that represented “us” perfectly. Gerald’s solo guitar performances during cocktail hour and the ceremony added a light and beautiful touch to the day’s events. The entire band as a whole was professional and true masters of their craft. The female lead singer has an INCREDIBLE voice and stage presence that kept our guests entertained throughout the night. We received countless compliments on the band, with many people mentioning how much fun they had dancing and singing along. The Plus Ones, with Gerald at the helm, truly made our wedding a night to remember, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic band for their special event.
