You’ve found a Grammy winning, classically trained cellist whose musical focus is generating connection. Hi, I'm Leah! Cello is a wonderful conduit- warm and elegant. I’ve played professionally in NYC for 20 years and I've been playing for ceremonies and events since I was a student at the SF Conservatory of Music. When you book me, you can expect: Clear communication and attention to detail, Unlimited music consultation, A professional and well executed performance, A positive attitude and attractive appearance and I'll arrive 60 minutes prior to the start of the event so we can have a relaxed experience!

Leah Coloff, our wedding cellist, was an absolute joy to work with. Her communication throughout the planning process was fast, clear, and mindful, which put us at ease every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, Leah arrived early to set up and seamlessly incorporated the new song we had asked her to learn for our recessional. Her professionalism, flexibility, and caring nature were evident in the beautiful, heartfelt performance she delivered. Leah's cello music made our ceremony all the more special and memorable. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple looking for a talented, reliable musician to bring their wedding vision to life.

New York Ceremony Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY for additional fees

Topu Lyo and Randy Bergida began performing together in 1999 when their friends and siblings started getting married. With each event came many personal requests for music and they discovered their knack for arranging any type of song and founded the cornerstone of New York Ceremony Music with their custom arrangements on cello and guitar. They have been collaborating in their musical endeavors for 20 years and now they have a diverse, ever-growing repertoire ranging from The Beatles to Fleet Foxes, Elliot Smith to The National, Depeche Mode to Django Reinhardt and everything in between.

As a professional wedding officiant, I am always relieved when I see that NY Ceremony Music will be providing the music for a wedding ceremony. Randy and Topu are brilliant musicians, affable gentlemen, casual, classy, creative, improvisational and just a joy to work with. My ceremonies often include creative elements with musicians, and they are always quick to catch on to what I want to accomplish. I love them. I can't say enough good things about working with them!

We love to be a part of all wedding celebrations, but are especially passionate about events where our creativity can shine. Give us a challenge and watch it come to life! We make the Impossible Party happen.

Kyle made planning our music selections so easy and stress free. The app was was extremely helpful in designating which songs we'd like played at different points throughout the wedding. Being able to leave notes in different areas really made it a breeze to give him a clear concise vision of what we wanted to accomplish and our personal tastes in music. When we met in person to go over finer details Kyle had notes on everything we put in the app and brought up more questions we hadn't considered yet. He was very professional as well as personable. Once all the planning was said and done, my fiancé (now wife) and I just had to kick back and enjoy our special day. Our guests were all extremely happy with the music and we got several compliments as we talked with each table. We had so much fun and our guests were absolutely thrilled on the dance floor

Butch Gray, Disc Jockey/Entertainer, LLC

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY for additional fees

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

She offered to arrange songs for me that may not be on her very comprehensive list. We requested pop songs on strings and the vibe was perfect! I would highly recommend booking Monica to contract and play at your wedding!

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.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Erich Cawalla and the rest of the Uptown Band. As we continued to try and schedule and reschedule our wedding during this pandemic, Erich was there every step of the way with us. We spent hours on the phone talking out different scenarios and situations to where we could make our BIG day happen, and he would time after time explain, "Vince, I'll play anytime, anywhere. We're going to make this happen!". This is a true testament to the type of people Erich and the rest of the Uptown Band are. Aside from being incredible to work with, their body of work speaks for itself!!! Erich is an incredible performer and musician, and the rest of the band is just as talented. They don't only just play great music, but they all know how to perform. Their ability to get a party started, keep it going, and leave the entire crowd wanting more is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. We could not have chosen a better group to help us celebrate than Erich Cawalla and the rest of the Uptown Band.
