Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

We wanted to find someone who can play live music and DJ and luckily, we found Skylark :) The ceremony and reception went by so fast but the sequencing felt seamless and the music was fitting and created the right mood and atmosphere for our farm wedding and our party centric friends! So appreciative of Justin's suggestions and accommodating our late requests.

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

Dylan was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding DJ and emcee! From the very start, he was incredibly communicative, professional, and so helpful throughout the planning process. He gave us great suggestions and made sure every detail was perfectly planned. On the day of our wedding, he truly exceeded our expectations. Not only did he keep the energy high and the dance floor packed all night, but the flow of the entire evening was seamless. As the emcee, he guided us and our guests through every key moment—from introductions to speeches, to special dances—with such ease. His timing was flawless, and everything transitioned so smoothly that we could just relax and enjoy the night. The vibe he cultivated was unbelievable—it’s hard to even put into words just how perfect his song choices were. He expertly read the room, adjusting the music to keep everyone on the dance floor and having the time of their lives. It felt like he knew exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. The transitions were seamless, the energy was high, and everyone (of all ages) was up and dancing. We had so many guests tell us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and a huge part of that credit goes to Dylan. He truly brought our celebration to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding unforgettable, Dylan is your guy!

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!!!

He came up with the idea of doing voiceovers to make the father and daughter dance and the husband and wife a little more special. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. He got everyone on the dance floor, the song selections were great. He listens to what couples want, he really spends time to get to know his clients before the event.

I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties. Some of the locations I have been lucky to perform include the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and The Willard Intercontinental in Washington D.C. Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

We cannot speak highly enough of Terrease, her skill, and her professionalism! My partner and I had not known we wanted live music for our wedding ceremony until we saw a video of her performing. Terrease was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony. Her musicianship was astounding, and she was a delight to work with---organized and communicative and generous. When we had to move our wedding ceremony indoors last-minute, Terrease went above and beyond to make it work, and was extremely flexible and patient. We could not be more grateful for her willingness to be a part of our event and encourage anyone to work with her. She is an absolute delight and incredibly talented!

He was also in constant contact with our day-of wedding coordinator, so everything would run seamlessly.

I love that they will learn three special songs that are outside the regular repertoire. My only regret from the wedding day is that I didn't get more pictures - I literally could not get myself off the dance floor all night.

Elegant Music Group is a full-scale entertainment company offering Bands, DJs, Lighting, Photo Booths, and Event Production. EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the music for our reception and cocktail hour! We went with The Gramercy, a DJ/band combo, and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they kept the energy up and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted. They were incredibly interactive with our guests, which really added to the fun. It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with. One highlight was when they played "Shipping up to Boston" and all of the Boston College alumni went crazy on the dance floor! See the pics below, from our amazing photographer Carolina Rivera (who we also recommend!) We had the best time, and the music made the night unforgettable. We can’t thank The Gramercy enough for helping us create such an incredible celebration!

Cooper Union helped us celebrate the best day of our lives on November 26, 2022! Our guests raved about how awesome the band was both during and well after our wedding. Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs.

I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

DJ Matt was the absolutely one of the highlights of our wedding day! He came in clutch when our acoustic singer for ceremony cancelled last minute. He had his music ready to go when we were scrambling around trying to find a solution. The reception music was excellent and we had a packed dance floor the whole night. We even saw a bunch of people who say that they never dance at weddings filling the dance floor. Highly recommend Matt and Style Points!!

Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!

The Last Nites are a real band made up of amazing musicians who love to play music for music's sake.

We had The Last Nites play at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and everything was absolutely fantastic! Waylan was very flexible and responsive through our planning process and over communicative to the wedding event staff, in addition to ourselves. Our guests still rave about the music and only complaint was that their feet were sore the next few days from the non stop dancing. It was amazing!

Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

From our first meeting I know Matty would be the perfect fit. He is super kind and incredibly professional. He led us through the wedding process with ease and smiles. He listened to our requests and added his own magic which I knew he would do. The dance floor was packed!! Matty was perfect in his execution- never stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom and he didn’t sing and shout over the music which we appreciated! (That has a time and place but not for this wedding). He pulled together instrumentals for the ceremony and managed the artists and added musicians at the reception and it really brought out the celebratory vibe of the night. We were all smiles and many and he was too! Amazing job! Hire him asap or you will miss out:)

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Speechless was the perfect wedding entertainment for our special day. Scott, the owner, and Mari, the coordinator were excellent communicators and were organized, efficient, and friendly throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional - they were professional, fun to work with, and incredibly talented. Their music went perfectly with the laidback, joyful vibe we were going for, and Tashane, our DJ kept the dance floor full all night long. Tashane was very responsive, flexible, and read the mood of our guests perfectly, and ensured we had the wedding day we envisioned. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainment experience to make our wedding celebration complete.
