The Loveday Band is a wedding musician group located in North New Jersey. This band specializes in performing at wedding receptions, cocktail hours, and ceremonies. The musicians are devoted to providing couples and guests with a party that exceeds all expectations. These talented and experienced musicians are aiming to introduce a new conception of music with their large repertoire. The Loveday Band provides lighting and a sound system for the events that they perform at. The band is willing to learn new songs for couples who have their heart set on something specific.

We were on the hunt for the perfect band for my wedding on Zola, WeddingWire and The Knot. My fiancé and I wanted to find a band that had no negative reviews. We came across bands with 500 reviews, but after reading some bad feedback, we started feeling concerned. Fortunately, we stumbled upon Loveday band, which had nothing but positive reviews - and it turned out to be the best decision we made! When we visited their website, we were delighted to hear their organic sound, which sounded so close to the original songs on their promotional video. After reaching out to them for more information, we had a couple of chats, and finally set a date to meet at my parent's house. It was a fantastic meeting; everyone loved Marcel. He was funny and went over all the details. We were sold and decided to go with them. Our wedding was absolutely amazing, from the ceremony to the reception. Loveday band's talented musicians brought the house down and lived up to everything we saw in their promotional video. They sounded incredible and kept the guests dancing all night on a packed dance floor. There wasn't a single guest at their table during the reception! We received compliments from every guest about the band we hired. I would highly recommend Loveday band to friends or anyone looking for a band for their big day. Many thanks to Loveday band for delivering a perfect evening performance! Doug & Jenny

Tammy delivered hands down! She understood the assignment and everyone had a blast. The dj is one of the most important people at this type of an event and she took the time to listen to what we wanted and made it happen. Having access to her Dj app made the process very seamless. I had two consultation calls with her. We decided to go with the photo booth, which was such a lovely added piece to our day and I’m so glad that we did! There was even an attendant at the booth! It can be a little difficult to get in contact with her, but just know that she has it all figured out so be patient and she will get the job done! Thanks again Tammy we are forever grateful!

Your event decor will be beautiful and the food will be delicious, but what your guests will really remember is how much fun they had. And Stardust Entertainment is here to make sure they have the best time. EVER!

My partner and I are known for being the life of the party, so when we got married we knew it had to the most epic party we’ve ever done. We found Michael’s website and scheduled a free consultation. Michael was kind, and very thorough. He asked about our vision for the day, and was really focused on what we wanted which made us feel very comfortable and confident that he would deliver on our expectations. 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! I need a DJ like Mikie J just for everyday use. We are still getting compliments from our guests… so if you’re reading this, and you want to make sure you have the time of your lives, you’ve found your guy!

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Rockaway, NJ

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Mushmouth is an absolutely incredible band—they had people asking us all night (and still to this day) how I found them. I think I turned quite a few of our wedding guests into Mushmouth groupies! From the beginning they were very accommodating, always quick to respond and accommodating to our song requests. They have a huge set list to select from no matter what your taste is, and they even learned new songs just for us so that we could do our first dance with live music. It really felt like we were part of a live concert just for us at our wedding. They sound so amazing and not only are they truly talented musicians, but they are also incredible performers who got everyone to dance and sing along. I received compliments all night that they were the best cover band anyone had ever heard. Mushmouth made our wedding day extra special, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

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!

Founder Robert Frannicola created Ultimate Entertainment ft. RF LLC in 1999. His concept was to raise the bar in service and performance in the mobile entertainment market. When it comes to weddings, nothing is too large or too small.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are considering using Ultimate Entertainment for your wedding, book them RIGHT NOW! My husband and I went to a wedding (before we were even engaged) and I said if we got married, this would be my first phone call. Sure enough, as soon as we had our venue booked we called Rob. Rob doesn’t just come to your wedding, Rob IS your wedding. I can’t count how many people said they’ve never seen such a fun wedding DJ team or how many people said they never dance at weddings, but they got up & danced at ours. Rob’s energy set the vibe not only for the whole reception, but for the entire planning process. We had a Christmas themed wedding (12/22) and Rob took that idea and ran with it. It felt like one big Christmas party and we couldn’t have been happier. His team also made the whole planning process so easy—they answered emails quickly, and they were always all so friendly. We also used them for our photo booth and it was great—we ended up forgetting to put out our guest book, so the photo booth scrapbook was a lifesaver. We can’t say enough good things about UE—if you need a team for your event, look no further, you won’t find better.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Wedding 11.10.2024 Where do we even begin?! Phil at All Generations was fantastic to work with leading up to our wedding, and we didn’t think it could get any better—until the big day! Our MC and DJ were absolutely the best we’ve ever seen at a wedding. While we might be a bit biased, our guests confirmed it, saying they’d "never seen such an empty room of tables because everyone was on the dance floor!" Guests couldn’t stop raving about how they couldn’t leave the dance floor and had endless compliments for both the DJ and MC. We had Mike as our MC, and while we don’t recall the DJ's name, he was phenomenal. I know some reviews mentioned DJs not playing requested songs, and while a few of our requests weren’t played, we’re actually so thankful for that. After all, we hired a DJ to read the room, not just follow a playlist—and he nailed it! Every song he played was exactly what the moment called for, keeping the energy high and the floor packed all night long. Every single track was a hit, and there wasn’t one moment where people stopped dancing. Truly, every song was a banger! We couldn’t be happier with the incredible vibe they created. They were all a huge part of what made our special day so memorable.

Before the wedding Peter and I worked through a variety of details and music ideas to create the night we imagined. With complete professionalism, they were on time, set up quick and each band member we met was truly a joy and excited to be there. This came through in the music. Once the party started we danced all night. I had a steady stream of people telling me how incredible the band is and asking, "where did you find these guys?" Barb and I had an amazing time and Peter and the band felt like friends that night. and their cool factor is 100. Your new fans. Barb and Alan

Incredible. Amazing. Absolutely perfect. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the service from High Profile Events for our wedding day! We'd heard good things from our venue, and our first meeting with Brian just sealed the deal. He understood our musical tastes perfectly and was so helpful walking us through the day with music. He listened to all our requests and questions, and was so accommodating. Our DJs for the day (Mike, Albert, and Jason) were incredible, and hyped our guests up so hard. My husband and I love pop punk and emo music, and they seriously delivered like no one else could. Our DJs had as much fun as our guests, which just cranked the party vibes up off the chart! We were so incredibly happy with the music, lighting, photo booth, and everything they brought the day of our wedding, I just cannot express enough how much you should absolutely book them TODAY if you're looking for an incredible entertainment group for your event!!

Our priority is ensuring that your wedding reception creates memories that will last a lifetime. With our experience, knowledge of music, and creativity, we will take your dream event and turn it into reality. We cater to each couple’s specific needs through personalization of songs and sets. We want your experience with Excel to be the easiest, yet most exciting part of booking your special day.

Everyone wants to ensure their wedding is memorable - not only for themselves, but for their guests. Our priority was making those memories on the dance floor with our friends and family. We turned to Jason and Excel Entertainment to make that dream a reality - which they certainly delivered and then some. Our wedding night flew by as Excel seamlessly transitioned from one song to the next, putting on an unforgettable show. They played the all of the songs we requested, skipped the ones we did not, and read the room for the rest. No one left the dance floor longer than it took to use the restroom or grab a drink. As the night was coming to a close, we kept checking the time to do some mental math on how many more numbers we might have left. We simply did not want it to end. After the last song the crowd begged for one more. Jason and Excel obliged with an emphatic "F*!k it", and gave the crowd one additional song. It was amazing. Jason truly cares about the quality of the performance they deliver. He worked with our venue’s constraints to make sure it could be done correctly without compromising any quality. The band controlled the flow and vibe of the night and it was flawless. Their DJ Band Hybrid is a unique and unparalleled experience. We could not recommend them more highly or be more grateful for the night they gave us!!

Rafael A. Pacheco was born and raised in Union City, NJ. As a young boy he was introduced to the world of music, specifically the sounds of Jazz and the latin rhythms from his Cuban roots. Singing, dancing and playing his way through childhood, he finally went pro as a teenager dancing and competing nation wide in a variety of dance styles. His career eventually evolved into acting where he develop the stage presence and speech skills necessary to become a bilingual MC.

NLE was one of the best choices we made for our entire wedding! Rafael and Elvis did an amazing job of incorporating all of our favorite music and keeping our mix of cultures happy. We had so many compliments on the music afterward! We also booked our photo booth and percussionist through NLE- both were a hit with our guests! We can't thank NLE enough for making our wedding reception so much fun.

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.

When my friends started to get married, the requests to DJ their weddings began pouring in. It made sense, they wanted to party, and I had helped them do it weekend after weekend all over NYC. It only took one wedding for me to realize that they needed a lot more help than what I did in the clubs. These days, I and my team help plan & entertain at all types of events (not just weddings), clients become friends (they don’t start there) and they benefit from our staff’s collective experience and the 10 years in the event industry Stem Productions has been active.

We were trying to plan a wedding in 4 months with no planner and luckily for us we had the absolute pleasure of working with Steve and Stem production for our wedding, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, he was an incredible resource throughout the entire planning process. Steve’s experience and insights were invaluable, not only for the music portion but for the wedding as a whole. He was always willing to share advice, tips, and his own experiences to help make sure every part of our day ran smoothly.
