DJ Heywood 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

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.

If you go with DJ Heywood, your wedding is guaranteed to be a celebration to remember! My wife and I knew after one consultation with him that he was our top pick! With Mark you have a marriage (pardon the pun) :) of professionalism, fun and ease. He knows how to get the party going and truly listens to you. He went out of his way to help us and we cannot say enough good about him. Going with DJ Heywood means you will not be disappointed!

Here at DJ Double E we strive at five star reviews and cherish and handle your wedding as it was our own we have lots to offer from three stages of dance floor lighting up lighting packages dancing on the clouds cold spark introductions monogram gobos excellent MC service setups for every occasion projection projects economical photo booth bundles bubbles fog machines laser lights moving heads and we even offer photography for every event possible please check us out and check all our reviews Google us!

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!!!

The Brooklyn Beats 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

The Brooklyn Beats is the inaugural event/wedding band founded by music industry veteran, Jon Shiffman. Jon is best known for his live work as a drummer for Grammy winner Jack Antonoff in the bands Steel Train and Bleachers. He has toured all over the world and his drumming can be heard on various National TV Commercials, and is featured in the 2024 release of Paramount Pictures’ Mean Girls movie. Since even before leaving the touring life in 2015, Jon has been a fixture in the New York private event/wedding band scene and has been a drummer, band leader, talent booker and event producer for the biggest agencies and bands in the area.

Do not sleep on booking The Brooklyn Beats! I’m positive this will be the most popular wedding band in NYC very soon! I was a big fan of Jon’s old band, Steel Train, and also saw him play drums when he was with Bleachers in 2015. Since then I’ve followed him on social media and when I heard he started his own wedding/event band, I couldn’t believe it lined up with me looking for a band for our big day! We debated a DJ versus a live band—but wow a live band is the way to go. They play every style of music which has everyone from your older relatives to your youngest friends singing and dancing for the ENTIRE night. The talent is unreal and the energy of a live band brings a night to a new level. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first experienced the party and excitement of Goody Blue Shoes at a local restaurant in 2014, from that moment I wanted them to preform at my wedding. Fast forward 9 years, my then boyfriend, Daniel and I got engaged and knew exactly who we wanted to call. As we reminisce on our wedding day, Daniel and I cannot express how blessed and grateful we were to have the opportunity to work with John. From the moment we called him to ask questions, each and every meeting, until the end of our fairy tale wedding, John and his team were amazing- words cannot describe. John was so patient, caring and willing to do whatever it took to turn our dream wedding into a reality! We had a few songs played during the night for special reasons for loved ones and GBS were absolutely top notch. I cannot imagine our wedding without Goody Blue Shoes preforming our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Booking GBS, you and your guests are guaranteed to have the night of your lives! -Daniel and Gina Crawford

And let me tell you…did he DELIVER! First, the setup was clean and intentional, he did not overlook even the slightest detail. Our introductions were none traditional and he nailed it! After our first dances and dinner it was time to crank it up, and for the rest of the night EVERYONE was on the dance floor. I don’t even think we said hi to everyone that came…I’m talking music thumping, lights flashing, banger after banger being played!! The absolute BEST night of our lives!

Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

Music is very important to me and I wanted that to come across in my wedding, and Nes not only understood this importance, but reassured me everything would come together and that he would create all the mixes I envisioned and make sure all the songs that I love got played. And he delivered just that. Our wedding was the ultimate party and people are still telling me how awesome the music was and how great our DJ was.

The Barnstorm 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

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!

Pure Event Group is dedicated to providing you first-class entertainment. We understand how important your wedding day is and treat it, unlike any other private event. Your wedding deserves to be different, plain, and simple. This is why Pure Event Group does not offer the same old "Cookie-Cutter" DJ packages. From our first phone call, you will have a custom experience with your own custom package based on your vision, venue, and our experience. There are times where less is more. And for those of you who are looking to add enhancements like Sparklers, LED Videowalls, Monograms, and Photobooths, Pure Event Group has you covered.

From my first conversation with Griffon, I loved his ideas, his thoroughness, and especially his enthusiasm! We worked with Griffon asking questions and making changes until literally the day before our wedding. Not only was he able to accommodate to all of our requests, but everything was done so smoothly! Because of COVID restrictions in NJ, we had to keep our dance floor outside of our reception ballroom, and we were worried about the separation, we’d lose some participants on the dance floor. Boy, was I wrong! The transitions between rooms was unnoticeable, and we had the entire group dancing all night long. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a true dance party at their wedding!!

Imagine your guests entering your reception to the sounds of violins as they arrive to your venue, then enter your ceremony or cocktail to the sounds of a string or classical ensemble. Let us show you how to start your party off right and give your guests a “sense of arrival".

We had the pleasure of having Phase One perform at our wedding for the ceremony, reception, and after-party, and they absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were engaged not only with us but with the entire crowd. Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their set list kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music! A special shout out to our Band leader Rich who made the process so easy!

There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.

Hi, my name Is Juan Montes, I knew from a very young age I wanted to be apart of the hospitality/night life industry. As I grew as a DJ in the clubs, bars & restaurants in NJ/NYC so did my musical knowledge and ability to read crowds. I was able to apply what I learned into my company, Montes Pro, and ever since I have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of my friends attended a wedding where Montes Productions was hired as the DJ, and she left raving and telling me I had to book them. Luckily I listened to her! From the first call I had with Juan, I knew I going to be getting quality. My husband and I were able to fill out a questionnaire and hand pick sooooo many songs that we wanted included. The soundtrack of the whole day was personalized exactly to our tastes. I don’t have any crazy dance floor photos back yet, but it was packed and everyone had a great time. The day went so smoothly, and I would 100% recommend Montes Productions to everyone!!!

We are now working with DJs to create the perfect package for everyone. Photo video and DJ packages can be custom to your liking. Cause of how many different ways you can customize your DJ packages we just have the bare minimum starting price that comes with Speaker/Mic system with basic uplighting. But you can upgrade the DJ package anyway which helps your special day stand out the most. From uplighting to dancing robots. We are LGBTQ+ Friendly

I know its a bit weird for me to leave a comment when this profile has the same name as mine. (I should of added DJs at the end) But I have to say that the hard work to come together to form a group of talented people that can give a client almost everything they want with just 1 group is awesome. The 3 DJs I'm working with right now, hopefully more to come, and the photo video crew we have been working with since last year of course, have really made each other's businesses whole in a way. Can't wait to see what we can do.

I’ve been djing for 20+ years now and I love what I do, and having the wedding couple have the best time ever on their special day. I’ve been Djing for Larry Holmes’s at his annual golf tournament and recently was the Dj at a Lonestar, and Rodney Atkins concert.

We highly recommend Chris and his live, energetic DJ talents, professionalism, crisp sound mix, and experience for any occasion, truly a memorable experience. We had the pleasure in hiring Chris to DJ/VJ at our wedding in October 2017 celebrating our special day with memories that will last a lifetime. Chris exceeded expectations with his energetic personality, video music, sound system with a great selection of music genres old school or new school, Chris has it all - a 5 star rating!

Cause and The Effects 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

Based in Staten Island, New York, Cause and The Effects is an enthusiastic band comprised of young musical professionals ready to perform at your wedding. The band was founded in 2011 but the versatile members have been playing together and separately for more than two decades. You can choose between a seven-, eight-, or 10-piece band to perform at your reception, while smaller groups can perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Show-stopping music is performed with a variety of instruments such as horns, percussion, saxophones, flute, and piano. They are based in Staten Island but are willing to travel to destination weddings.

If you’re considering a live band for your wedding reception, look no further than Cause and the Effects. We hired the full 10-piece band to play at our wedding reception on 9/23/23, and that was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made. From our initial calls all the way through the actual event, the band set themselves apart and proved to be far more than a standard event vendor. They were completely invested in giving us the best experience possible. Vin and Anthony took the time to get to know us, our interests, and how we wanted the event to flow, and used all of that information to put together an amazing set. Our reception had a few unique twists, and the band took each of our requests in stride with enthusiasm and professionalism. Leading up to our reception, Vin communicated with some of our other vendors to make sure any intersecting elements (for example, audio/video and lighting) went smoothly. And day-of, the full band’s talent and energy blew us away. Once the party started, it did not stop for a single second. We, the majority of our guests–and eventually, some of the band members & instruments themselves!--were going wild on the dance floor the entire night. Even the non-dancers in the crowd were sitting and enjoying the music with huge smiles on their faces. Throughout the event, many people pulled us aside so they could tell us how much they were loving the music…and in speaking to guests afterward, the first thing every single person mentioned was how incredible the band was. And talk about a personal playlist–not only did they create a completely unique rendition of our first dance song (Starlight by Muse) to match our dance choreography, but they also delivered a huge surprise. In our consultations, we’d mentioned how important the band Linkin Park is to us…so Cause and the Effects learned “In the End” just for us, and delivered a phenomenal performance as one of the closing songs of the night. It was so meaningful, and it’s something we’ll never forget. Please don’t hesitate to make Cause and the Effects one of the first vendors you book for your event. "Five stars" is not a high enough rating!
