Jay was our DJ (and friend) at our wedding at Renault Winery this past April. We cannot say enough good things about working with him! From the very beginning, he ensured us that he would make all of our wedding reception dreams come true and he DEFINITELY executed! He kept our dance floor full the entire night, he took care of displaying home videos on a projector during the daddy/daughter and mother/son dances, we booked a trio to play live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and all of this came out beautifully! We could not recommend Jay with his great energy and On The Beat FX more!!!!!

Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

Awarded Best of Zola
If we could give The Hook Club more stars, we would! Let me get my one gripe out of the way at the top here: I’m pretty sure the only reason my now husband agreed to a wedding celebration was to hire The Hook Club after seeing them at a friend’s wedding before we met. It was the only part of the wedding planning process he felt truly passionate about from the jump – we knew we wanted them before we even had a venue or date and went so far as to clear our potential dates with them before booking anything else. Fast forward, and Dan made the band planning process so supported and seamless that my husband’s one job went off without a hitch. The problem? Despite me planning every other single little detail of our three-day wedding weekend, the first thing that every single guest complimented (and still raves above, 1 month later) was THE BAND! But in truth, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We are absolutely ecstatic with our choice of hiring The Hook Club for our wedding. We did acoustic guitars for the ceremony, sax and tracks for cocktail and band and DJ for reception. THC was outstanding to work with from the jump. Dan is a wealth of knowledge and organization, and brings a calm, cool, collected vibe through every step of the planning process. Not to mention, he’s a great musician who can come discuss timeline with you while also playing the base day of :D. The process THC uses to help plan is smooth and clear. The communication was great throughout – we knew what to expect from the first planning call all the way up to some adhoc timeline changes day of. The band has an extensive repertoire and was able to take in our song, vibe, and timeline requests while also using their extensive experience to guide us along the way. The music carried the vibe throughout the day – from guitars at the ceremony to sax and tracks leading through cocktail hour and a mix of dance sets, slow dances, and expert MC’ing on the dance floor, we couldn’t get enough. So much so, that we extended the end time of the event just to have more fun on the dance floor with THC! Everyone was so nice, supportive, energetic and just brought their outstandingly talented A game and the absolute best vibe. The band got out on the dance floor with us, led us in call and response and a little choreographed proud Mary moment. Our first dance song is not a very common song, not only did THC learn it for us, but they provided us a track of their composition beforehand so we could practice the dance. You’ll see in the pictures my face when I first heard them play it – completely awestruck! That was pretty much my inner face the entire rest of the night in their presence. I have so many fond memories of engaging with THC throughout our wedding. If I could do it again, I’d hire THC without a second thought.

If you are thinking of hiring a DJ for your wedding, look no further. Marcus was attentive, courteous, professional, classy, and most of all, executed to perfection. He made sure no detail was left to the last minute through constant communication and knowing exactly what questions to ask through to process putting our minds at ease leading up to the big day (mood preference, ensuring procession songs were long enough, name pronunciation etc…). He covered us from the ceremony all the way through the end of the reception. But even before that, he helped us curate our cocktail hour and dinner playlists, and then completely hit the nail on the head for the reception and dancing - adapting in real time to the crowd across a wide variety of genres. I cannot recommend Marcus enough and thank him for being such an integral part of our big day. Brooke Casey

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!

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.

Good music at a wedding is SO important & Around Town Entertainment made my entire night/life! I didn’t leave the dance floor all night, they were INCREDIBLE. Every song was better than the last (if that was even possible). The only time they stopped the music was during speeches, to keep the party going. Your wedding reception is really only a few hours, so having nonstop music that goes with the flow of the evening made the night that much better and really elevated the event. Adam and his team were a pleasure to work with. They answered all our questions and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision to hire them for our wedding day!

45 Riots is a band, boutique live music entertainment company, and independent record label based in NYC. 45 Riots provides hand-crafted, energized live-music ensembles for high-end private parties and gala corporate affairs. Founded in late 2011 in New York City, 45 Riots has grown to perform 150 events per year in addition to maintaining a busy NYC nightclub schedule (*pre-COVID) and backing up renowned music artists in concert. Our mission is to offer clients a sincere live-music onstage performance, bringing a genuine NYC concert experience to private events with jam-packed dance floors from start to finish.

To put it simply, you have to hire 45 Riots. It is not an exaggeration to say that every person at my wedding came up to my parents, my husband or I to say this was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. I'm in the Broadway community, and my husband's father is a professional musician, so that's high praise coming from people who know music! From start to finish, they were great about communication and getting to know our tastes. At the wedding, every song was a hit and the dance floor was packed. They were great about reading the room and handling all our formalities, including ceremony music and cocktail hour. Additionally, they had no problem learning songs that we wanted that weren't on their Song List. My husband's father is in a well-known rock band and 45 Riots learned a 7-minute long hit song of theirs to play with my father-in-law & brother-in-law. To say that performance was epic is an understatement. They completely rose to the occasion and our guests were floored. I can't recommend 45 Riots enough! Thanks for everything, guys!

We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!!

Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night.

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’re an original band at heart with big dreams, but we’re also just passionate about playing music together in general. We started doing a few cover shows for fun and really enjoyed ourselves and making people dance & have a great time.

We mostly do billboard hits covers in various styles, decades and genres. We try and stay true to the sound and feel of the original recording but also try to modernize it and give it our own subtle unique spin.

Found the band after seeing them play @ The Red Lion In Downtown, New York and was blown away by their sound and style.

Remixologists is our team of talented like-minded DJs who share the client-focus & music versatility that I believe make the difference between having a good wedding and an AMAZING ONE for the ages!

I spent hours reading reviews and vetting different vendors and Remixologists was honestly the best choice I made for my wedding reception! Specifically DJ Lee was AMAZING. He was super organized from the get go which was so helpful leading up to the wedding day. I had a fusion wedding and he seamlessly worked in Indian songs into the hiphop/pop/80s music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night! DJ Lee was also a great emcee and created the perfect mix of music and energy to get people of all ages out of their seats. I can't recommend Remixologists enough!!

And when it's party time, his music selection is on point! He's extremely knowledgeable about various music genres. The energy that he and his MC create on the dance floor is infectious. If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, do not hesitate to book MikeMusic!

A Metro Wedding

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

As a homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJ, I allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. With an elegant & refined approach, I accommodate any eclectic flavor and curate a tasteful wedding celebration all based on your musical preferences. What you won’t get? A stereotypical, cheesy DJ stealing the spotlight and breaking up the music with bad jokes and unnecessary interruptions. You deserve better. Expect a personal and individualized celebration with great music, precise attention to detail and a fun-filled dance party — all based on 15 years of wedding experience.

Joe was a pleasure to work with! He has a calming yet excited energy that made us confident that he’d be the perfect wedding DJ from day 1, even when our plans and vision were still all over the place. On our wedding day, Joe helped everything run smoothly, from coordinating with other musicians, setting up the mic for the toasts, through, obviously, making sure every single guest was having a blast at the dance floor! Several guests commented on how friendly and fun Joe was! We highly recommend Joe to any event!!!
