We also believe that Love is Love and have proudly DJed many weddings and events for the LGBTQIA community for over 15 years.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding entertainment experience than the one Matty provided. From the moment we first connected with him, we loved his upbeat energy, positivity, and professionalism, making him an easy choice among other vendors. He filled our wedding with fun, excitement, and unforgettable moments. MDMusic was a one-stop shop for all our entertainment needs: providing musicians and microphones for our ceremony and cocktail hour, while also bringing in uplights and DJ lights that set the perfect mood for our reception. Matty’s DJ skills were on point! He expertly handled our vision for the music, ensuring every moment was perfectly timed. He even went so far as to create a custom song mashup for a bride/MOB dance! What really stood out was how Matty went above and beyond to make sure all of our guests in our multicultural wedding were included and entertained. He particularly helped our Muslim guests, who were initially hesitant to dance. We came to him with a big ask, and he more than delivered. From an air hockey table that brought joy to the younger guests, to a dance floor saxophonist and electric violinist that absolutely wowed everyone—MDMusic had something entertaining for everyone. Thanks to their efforts, even those who were initially unsure about dancing felt welcomed and joined in. Matty gave us a true gift, creating memories that will last a lifetime! (P.S. the blurry pics are evidence of a GOOD time on the dance floor!)

Amazing, helpful and flexible! I had spoken to Matt, the owner, who was so understanding about the stress we had dealt with in rescheduling our 2020 May wedding. He was so sympathetic and wanted to help make our September 2020 micro-wedding special and memorable for us! He was understanding, compassionate and sympathetic about our situation. Although Matt was unavailable to DJ our 9/20 wedding, we were told in advance that Dan was very good and would be stepping in. We spoke with Dan just about a week before our wedding and got 95% of the info he needed (because WE were being indecisive) oops. Then, the night before the wedding, he got the last few songs he needed from me via text! Unbelievable! He played all the songs we requested and timed our precessional and recessional songs perfectly!! If you get a DJ for your wedding- choose LB Entertainment!

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

Around Town Entertainment 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Hillside, NJ

Around Town Entertainment is an exclusive, full-service entertainment company specializing in live music entertainment with featured bands and orchestras for all events locally in New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey. Around Town Entertainment has also performed nationally and abroad.

My husband and I are both musicians, as were many of our wedding guests, so when we were looking for a band to play at our October 2023 wedding in shoreline CT we knew we wanted an established band of kick-butt musicians. We had an initial phone call with Adam and immediately hit it off as fellow musicians! We knew we didn't want line dances or cliche wedding reception songs, and Adam was fully on board. He also mentioned how Around Town is different from other wedding bands - they have played together for years, where other companies just throw together contracted musicians for specific events who might not have ever played together before the day of your event. We loved the transparency about this, and immediately decided to book the Around Town Band, Adam's personal band. They played all through cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Our guests were already SO impressed by the time we got to dancing, but then we (the band, my husband, and I) surprised them by performing all together! I know it took extra work for the band to learn our requested song in order to surprise our guests, but I had no idea they had also coordinated with my brother (also a musician) to surprise ME with a song! Around Town really went above and beyond to make our wedding reception something out of our dreams. They are true musicians who completely set the tone for our guests - we are still getting compliments a year later, saying that Around Town made the night and is the best wedding band our guests have heard. If you want a band who will knock your guests' socks off, keep everyone dancing literally all night, and impress the musicians in your life, this is the band for you! Some tiny things I would say as a critique/heads up to other couples - we did not receive a set list in advance and communication was a little spotty. One of my main concerns for my wedding was that there would be songs played that I didn't know, so a set list a month or so before the event would have definitely eased those nerves, however one was never promised to us. That being said, we did extensively highlight the song list the band sent us early on to determine what songs they already knew that would fit our vision, so I think the vibe of what we were looking for was pretty clear, and in the end not a single song I didn't know was played! Communication was also a little tricky - we totally understand that the band would be very busy with events on top of keeping up with email communications, but we were sent a link to pay the remainder of our balance before some previous emails with questions were answered - it felt a little backwards and at the time really stressed me out, but it was more than made up for by the wedding day experience itself. Thank you, Adam and team, for being the BEST wedding band we could possibly dream of!

My wife Debbie and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary by hosting a party of close to 100 people with family and friends. We searched for a DJ in our area that would listen to our requests for music to get everyone who attended to get up and dance and join the celebration. Alex did not disappoint and was an outstanding DJ. His price for the event was also very reasonable. We spoke to him several times to seek ideas for the celebration songs to play and when to play them. He had a user-friendly website where you can put in the top 50 songs you wanted to play as well as additional songs if there was time. I sang to my wife at our wedding 50 years ago and wanted to surprise her at the party and do the same. I called Alex and asked him if he could set up and find the background instrumentals to “Have I told you Lately”. Minutes later he sent me a link of the instrumental via email. I practiced it once and it was perfect. My wife was definitely surprised, as well as our guests, when I sung it to her while I danced with my her. It was a special moment during our celebration and Alex helped make it happen. Received a lot of complimentary comments about Alex from our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex for your next celebration! Thanks Alex!!

Our DJ company starts with vibing with our clients. We feel that is really really important. By taking the time to listen to your vision with a quick chat we can tell a-lot about each other and see if we are a match. Picky sometimes to a fault we realize every couple is not our couple and do not just book couples just to fill the calendar. Thats not fair to either of us. At the end of any event we usually are good friends and miss talking to each other. You wouldn't have it any other way.

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!

The set up they bring is gorgeous and professional looking. And the sound is just without comparison. I work in the arts, so I have a lot of experience dealing with live music. Rest assured, hiring Sound Society for your event is the biggest gift you can give yourself and your guests. And I do feel the pricing is respectable and fair, given what they provide!

Brian was our DJ for our wedding on 9/21. He did such an amazing job. All my friends are still talking about how good the music was. Brian listened to our requests and made our night so much fun. He also provided the photo booth with props that was a great hit. Thank you!

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!

We picked some unique songs for our processional that typically have heavy orchestration involved but Bryan was able to arrange them to sound beautiful on just guitar. The bossa nova they played for our cocktail hour was also incredible, everyone loved it! Such great style and energy all around, we couldn’t have asked for better live music on our special day.

Discover the unique, boutique-inspired approach with Limelight Event Group crafting sophisticated and modern event experiences. We redefine the art of entertainment, proudly standing apart from the ordinary. In our world, 'average' is a term left behind. Our commitment goes beyond the expected – it's about curating an experience that reflects and captures the essence of who you are. Our goal is to ensure that your event becomes a cherished memory, marked by exceptional entertainment and flawless execution.

Julian at Limelight and DJ Rashaun were absolutely perfect for us. We knew the vibe we wanted — and, frankly, it was a little off the beaten path since we wanted a bit of a 1930s feeling. We thought we were doomed, though, because we're terrible at selecting exact songs and had no sense of how the music fit into the overall schedule of the night. We hadn't thought past our ceremony! Julian kept things positive, steered us when we had no idea what to do, but gave us space to put our stamp on our evening when he could sense we had ideas burbling. He was helpful, positive and always prompt without ever being pushy, and so many of our favorite moments came out of the things he got us to think about. Rashaun was awesome too. He took our weird list of preferred songs and turned it into an amazing night of love, dining, and dancing. It felt like he'd known for years, always hitting the right classic hit, the right remix, the right memory moments. He was such a kind and lovely man too. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!

From the moment we started working with them, they were easy to communicate with and completely professional.

Tyler made our Anniversary a night to remember. He serenaded my wife at dinner as we celebrated 16 years together. He was able to take a list of songs I asked him to sing and create a beautiful arrangement in less than a week, including learning a custom song that had been written for our wedding. He would be a Blessing to have perform for any occasion. I highly recommend this wonderful artist.
