Clarity Music Productions 
  • Production company
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves New York, NY for additional fees

Clarity Music Productions is born of a vision. After playing at weddings and private events for nearly 20 years, Brad saw how communication has changed, and how the event music business failed to change with them. He watched as discerning clients and couples sought more personalized experiences at their weddings, yet the bands continued to perform using standard playlists with few requests. He realized there can be a better way for clients to be a partner in designing their event music experience. As with flowers, cakes, menus, and stationery, event music can be personalized for a tailored wedding experience for clients and their guests.

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!

We can't say enough about how amazing Carte Blanche was at our event. Not only are they incredible musicians, but Kate the bandleader made everything so smooth from the planning process. She was very thorough and made sure everything went off without a hitch. They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!

Vsmusic4u was definitely the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. We hired a string quartet to play the processionals at the ceremony and a pianist while we are having dinner afterwards. The music was fantastic! They played unbelievably all styles of music from classical to rock and even country. Communicating with Vinny leading up to the day was so easy. He took the time to help us create the best playlist which resonates best with us a couple.

JIM LOFTUS Pianist/Singer/1-Man-Band/ORGANIST 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves New York, NY

I am a pro pianist/singer/keyboardist and Church organist performing since 1983 in the Lehigh Valley of PA prominently but also Philadelphia/Philly suburbs/MontCo/Bucks/Chester/Berks; also extensively in NYC/NJ; trips include Syracuse/Albany NY, Alexandria VA, Atlanta GA and Las Vegas for private events. I play wedding ceremonies and receptions/private corporate events/birthdays/anniversaries/house parties on either a provided piano OR as a "one-man-band" on my YAMAHA PSR1500 keyboard. I'm a Church organist as well since the late 1970s if that was a need a client was seeking.

We knew we made the proper decision immediately. From the very beginning Jim reached out to us to share examples of his work, his song selections (and boy are there so many different genres to choose from) and assist us with suggestions that seemed to work for previous guests. As we got closer to our event, Jim continued to “check in” with us. We felt very comfortable and excited and Jim did not disappoint us. He not only played our requests, he played all of the musical requests. He was amazing. He had energy, played and sang extremely well, was professional and helped make the whole evening just perfect! He even followed up with us afterwards ....”just checking in”. What a guy - dependable, professional, talented and fun. We could not ask for more.

Being a DJ is what I always wanted to be. I worked hard to get a mentor and break into the club Scene, and I loved it, but as time went on and I started a family, being in the clubs wasn't what was right for me and my family. So I started my mobile DJ service, and found my calling. From the moment I am booked I do everything in my power to make my clients dream wedding become a reality. I know how stressful planning a wedding can be, so I make it a point to be as *go with the flow* as possible. With your vision of your dream wedding and my expertise, We will ensure that your big day is everything and more you could have wished for.

I highly recommend DJM Events, very professional was able to give us everything we wanted and needed to make this day special! If you hire them to do an event you will be very pleased.

If you’re thinking about hiring an a cappella group for your event, stop looking. You’ve found it. Seriously. I reached out to Echo several months before my wedding to help plan and ultimately perform a surprise song during my wedding ceremony. Kyle and the entire Echo group were a dream to work with. They were professional, thoughtful, responsive, and so helpful in planning what would ultimately be the highlight of the whole wedding! At a time when planning is stressful, especially planning a surprise for the groom, Echo made the process feel calm, cool, and collected. Thank you, Echo!
