DJ Jay Murch was the best and easiest to work with from the very beginning. He was super clear about the process and even provided an app that allows you to plan all the music details for your big day, step by step. Jay took it even one step further and he assisted me with the processional, recessional, reception and ceremony coordination. He is super knowledgeable and really can help recommend songs and shape your wedding day playlist. He had my dancefloor on fire and we loved every second of it! I also booked a photobooth with On The Beat Fx which was a huge hit. I would recommend DJ Jay again and again and again!!!

If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

I can't say enough good things about Dan from NY Wedding DJ! Right from the first consultation my partner and I were met with a friendly attitude and attention to detail, asking specifics about what we were hoping for during the reception. I've been to so many weddings where a mediocre DJ makes the reception drag on and on, but Dan's choice of music were totally catered to us and our type of crowd and it made the party bopping all the way until the last dance! Additionally, as an LGBT couple, we felt incredibly supported by Dan from NY Wedding DJ, and felt he offered a very inclusive atmosphere for us to be our comfortable selves around. I wish we could do it all over again just to have Dan throw another perfect reception!!

he Hook Club is an amazing band that we wholeheartedly recommend. They performed at my daughter's wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau on 3/27/22 and everyone loved them. Dan is a pleasure to work with and made sure the wedding went exactly as planned. The band's vocals are incredible - especially Brianna and LiMarco. The sound of the 10 piece band filled the ballroom of 250 people and the volume was appropriately loud without being deafening. So many of my guests asked for the band's contact information - they are that impressive. If I could give them 10 stars I would- they are the best!!!

Hey brother Marcus, From the first time we read about you in your reviews and website, we knew you were “The One.” When we had the first zoom, it was so difficult to get the words out because I knew you would allow us to achieve greatness on the dance floor. You are truly special and the world is getting better each time you get in touch with the next couple, party and venue. I told Jenn that I was so happy not because we chose you but that You chose us. I wish everyone had a chance to work with someone of your skill level, generosity, dedication, and love 3. Thank you thank you and thank you. Dennis and Jenn

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to start, there are so many wonderful things we want to say about the Met players! I had seen them play at my best friend's wedding and LOVED them but my now-wife never saw them in person before we hired them. With a little trust and faith in me, she was on board! It was not hard to get on board when Erin and Drew run such an AMAZING business. From the moment I started emailing with Erin, I knew she was my person. She had every detail figured out, timelines done early, ideas left and right. She was there with us through the entire process, including a COVID postponement. She made sure we got everything worked out during such a stressful time. Her enthusiasm and true love for what she does was so apparent and when our band played, you could feel it! Everyone raved about our band! They were AMAZING! We had a 10 person band--they played all of the classics and learned some of our favorite songs just for us (Paramore was a hit!). They also had music playing the whole night. Even when some members took a break, others kept playing. Our friends and family were on the dance floor the entire night! I literally can't recommend them enough! I am sad to think that our day is behind us but we have the most amazing memories (and videos) to remind us of what a wonderful day we had! Thank you so much to the Met Players for making our day so special, we love you :)

We knew we needed to hire Lucas after our first call with him. He immediately understood the disco-funk music style we wanted at our wedding and his enthusiastic energy was contagious. I had told a friend of mine in the NYC music scene that we hired Lucas and he said that he is the best and we were in good hands. He was absolutely right. Lucas knows how to control the dance floor! Each song blended into the next so smoothly. People were avoiding going to the bathroom and barely anyone touched our dessert because they didn't want to stop dancing. Everyone was feeling the music, from our 11-year-old cousin to our 80-year-old aunts. People were pulling out some impressive moves that I'm not sure they knew they had. I even crowd surfed! Definitely hire Lucas if you want your wedding to be an epic dance party. You won't regret it.

New York, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800

As homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJs, we allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. We keep things simple and straightforward so you can focus on the most important part of it all — marrying your partner, soulmate and best friend. 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.

DJ Joe was amazing! Communication was clear throughout. He did a phenomenal job and we all had a great time! Would highly recommend

I loved Chantal Music! Carla was a delight to work with throughout the entire process. She was responsive, fun, engaging, and listened closely to what we wanted.
