Around Town Entertainment 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Salem, NJ

Around Town Entertainment is an exclusive, full-service entertainment company specializing in live music entertainment with featured bands and orchestras for all events locally in New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey. Around Town Entertainment has also performed nationally and abroad.

My husband and I are both musicians, as were many of our wedding guests, so when we were looking for a band to play at our October 2023 wedding in shoreline CT we knew we wanted an established band of kick-butt musicians. We had an initial phone call with Adam and immediately hit it off as fellow musicians! We knew we didn't want line dances or cliche wedding reception songs, and Adam was fully on board. He also mentioned how Around Town is different from other wedding bands - they have played together for years, where other companies just throw together contracted musicians for specific events who might not have ever played together before the day of your event. We loved the transparency about this, and immediately decided to book the Around Town Band, Adam's personal band. They played all through cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Our guests were already SO impressed by the time we got to dancing, but then we (the band, my husband, and I) surprised them by performing all together! I know it took extra work for the band to learn our requested song in order to surprise our guests, but I had no idea they had also coordinated with my brother (also a musician) to surprise ME with a song! Around Town really went above and beyond to make our wedding reception something out of our dreams. They are true musicians who completely set the tone for our guests - we are still getting compliments a year later, saying that Around Town made the night and is the best wedding band our guests have heard. If you want a band who will knock your guests' socks off, keep everyone dancing literally all night, and impress the musicians in your life, this is the band for you! Some tiny things I would say as a critique/heads up to other couples - we did not receive a set list in advance and communication was a little spotty. One of my main concerns for my wedding was that there would be songs played that I didn't know, so a set list a month or so before the event would have definitely eased those nerves, however one was never promised to us. That being said, we did extensively highlight the song list the band sent us early on to determine what songs they already knew that would fit our vision, so I think the vibe of what we were looking for was pretty clear, and in the end not a single song I didn't know was played! Communication was also a little tricky - we totally understand that the band would be very busy with events on top of keeping up with email communications, but we were sent a link to pay the remainder of our balance before some previous emails with questions were answered - it felt a little backwards and at the time really stressed me out, but it was more than made up for by the wedding day experience itself. Thank you, Adam and team, for being the BEST wedding band we could possibly dream of!

I don't have enough good things to say about Big Ric. He is so good that we hired him right on the spot at my son's wedding a year and a half before my daughter's wedding. And both weddings were completly different so he can customize! Not only is he so nice and so much fun but he is amazing at what he does. He kept the entire wedding dancing all night and our guests kept raving about him days later. Ric was an absolute pleasure to work with and both my son and his wife and my daughter and her husband loved working with him. No one will be disappointed in Ric and you will have the event of the year!! He is second to none!!

The band exceeded my wildest expectations. They were incredible. On the day after my wedding, I expected to hear things like "The bride was beautiful" or "Your ceremony was so touching". Instead, all anyone could talk about was how amazing the band was. And I wasn't upset with that at all - Loveday Band truly did an outstanding job, kept every wedding guest on the dance floor the entire night, sounded great, and were overall a lot of fun. I highly recommend them for any wedding or similar event. Fantastic!

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.

DJ Heywood did a fantastic job at our wedding. He kept our guests entertained, participated in some of the songs, and was quite culturally aware of some of the songs I wanted. We would HIGHLY recommend him for any event needing a DJ!

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!!!

We won the lottery with the pure talent of Elliot on our wedding day! Our wedding was small & intimate as we were coming out of covid times and it was the 1st extended family gathering (had we had a bigger venue and wedding overall we would have hired the entire band but we threw our wedding together in a few short months). Elliot was super easy to work with and offered a wide range of selections for what we needed/wanted. Elliot performed for our ceremony and not only nailed the songs we selected together but also perfected the volume for the space as it wasn’t a traditional ballroom but a loft. He was also very cool about our 2 year old commandeering his equipment after the ceremony ;) If you want the BEST, it is a no brainer to go with Skyline Lights for complete perfection on your wedding day.

The Brooklyn Beats 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Salem, 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
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.

Working with Anders was a wedding dream come true! Music is a key factor in my relationship and it was super important to my now husband and I that we work with a DJ who understood our eclectic taste and wasn't just a "regular" wedding DJ/musician. From the very beginning, Anders was an absolute pleasure to work with, was very clear and prompt with communication, and had a great questionnaire that covered everything needed for the music for our wedding day. I had sent Anders a playlist for inspiration since our taste in music is all over the place and he said he had it handled, and boy did he. My requests for the ceremony were perfectly executed, our cocktail hour music was beyond even what I expected (including some songs that are tricky to play) including a quick reset due to unexpected rain, and our dinner/dancing DJ'ed songs were wildly fun. We received so many compliments on the music (including gasps, thumbs up, and nods throughout) and it is completely due to Ander's style and professionalism. We hope he had as much fun as we did! It really was a dream come true!

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!

LIAT (singer/songwriter) 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Salem, NJ

With her earthy acoustics, dark melodies, and rich vocals, singer-songwriter Liat has been captivating live audiences for over fifteen years. After years of performing in the pulsing cities of Philadelphia and New York, Liat moved to Colorado, where she drew inspiration from the folk music of the mountains. Her music evokes her itinerant life and Israeli-American heritage— 90s’ pop-rock meets 60s’ folk with glints of Middle Eastern desert soundscapes. She spins guitar acoustics with her powerhouse vocals for lyrical “dark folk” sounds that linger long after a performance.

Liat performed for my college graduation party. She was punctual and ready to go with all her equipment. She not only has a beautiful voice but great energy. She was perfect for the intimate setting and also got the crowd up and dancing! It was so fun. It added a really nice element to the party. Love to book her for an another event!

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!

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!

The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. 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.

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!!!

Remixologists

  • Serves Salem, NJ

From DJing college house parties to packed clubs to music festivals, I've experienced the thrills of creating EPIC events through music. Weddings should be no different, but it requires a personal touch that brings out the stylistic uniqueness of each couple. I still remember having my own epic wedding dance party with my friends & family 10 years ago, and my goal is to give our couples the same! Remixologists is our team of talented like-minded DJs who share the client-focus & music versatility that I believe make the difference between having a good wedding and an AMAZING ONE for the ages!

I highly recommend the Remixologists for your wedding. Having just had ours a few weeks ago, I can offer the advice that you want to make sure you choose a good DJ for your wedding. You want to make sure you have a DJ who is organized, client oriented, good at communicating, timely with responding to questions and also has great taste in music. We were in great hands with Simon. He is extremely organized and made sure that all the sound equipment was set up perfectly, all the ceremony music was executed flawlessly and that the music kept everyone going! He did a great job incorporating some of our favorite artists into the wedding music and I really appreciated how he helped to create special cuts of songs to fit the timing of our ceremony and special dances. Our friends and family danced until 11PM after the temperatures had dropped to 48 degrees for our outdoor wedding.

Bronwyn was amazing and played so beautifully for our ceremony. We cannot thank her enough and guests could not stop complementing on the music. She was so easy to work with, and played all the music we had picked out and more! Such a memorable thing to have at our wedding. I absolutely would recommend her for any event.

I’ve been a touring drummer for the last decade with Pattern is Movement. I’ve had the pleasure to share the stage with artists like The Roots, St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Shabazz Palaces and tour all around the world. I’ve also been booking shows for years at Philly’s own Johnny Brenda’s. My life revolves around music and that is why I love to DJ.

Chris took our rather opposing tastes in music and created a symphony of sound that resulted in an incredible multi generational dance party. A week after the wedding and we're still getting notes from guests about how incredible our DJ was. Chris is super intentional about creating a space for all and being strategic about how the dance floor evolves throughout the night. We appreciated his thought and expertise and general kindness and can't wait to have a reason to work with him again.

Absolutely fantastic experience! We worked with Vincent and he was wonderful from the first call. He is friendly, had great communication with us before the wedding and even throughout the wedding day. He was great with the family, was energetic, and made sure everything was going well all night. He worked well with accommodating our needs, we were not super specific in our asks for music but he took care of everything when we were unsure and made sure to put on a great show. He was also a great hype man for the reception and my guests were really impressed! I would HIGHLY recommend him for any event and would hire him again without a doubt!
