Awarded Best of Zola
The Hook Club was by far the coolest musicians I was able to find in terms of having an NYC night out vibe, and not a typical "wedding" vibe. We had a bass and guitar duo for our cocktail hour. They were super nice and awesome musicians. It started raining an hour into our cocktails so we had to move inside, and the bassist switched to playing a piano so that we could continue the music inside. Everyone was so impressed by how multi-talented they were!! Loved them and wish we had them play music for more of our reception. Dan, the founder, as well as the rest of their staff were incredibly organized and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!!

I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

The Met Players were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding. Everyone was totally blown away by their performance. I'm a musician myself and choosing a wedding band was top priority for me. Due to COVID, we could not see them in person, but the recordings spoke for themselves. Truth be told- they were more amazing then I thought they already were. The musicians in this band are top-notch, professional, dynamic, and super fun!! Erin, co-owner of the band, is an absolutely delight to work with as well. She responds back in a timely manner and really cares about helping you have the most perfect day!! If you book them, guaranteed you will have such a fun wedding night filled with non-stop dancing and your favorite tunes. Thank you again Met Players!!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Booking Josh as our DJ was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day! From the beginning his communication was clear and timely. He did such a great job explaining his process and helping us to understand the flow of the day. It really helped us to visualize everything and feel comfortable going into the wedding! During the event, he kept my husband and I updated and checked in on us several times, and he kept everything moving beautifully. He was spot on with his music selections and with playing the songs that we requested too. My guests all had a blast and I attribute a huge part of that to Josh!

DJ Lou Paris is a Wedding DJ out of the Hudson Valley area of NY, providing an extraordinary service to my clients. From gathering all the important information about your wedding in detail to having emergency plans in place to make sure there are no interruptions. I go the extra mile in everything that is done.

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

Dylan was so awesome to work with, and took the stress out of picking songs for my wedding! We were even lucky enough to coordinate a private last dance to one of our favorite songs, AND the most HYPE last dance to "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. All of my guests loved the music he played throughout the night. There was a healthy mix of oldies and newbies, some of my personal favorites, and a few surprises. I was dancing all night long with my loved ones. Searching for a DJ was hard, because I didn't quite know how to go about it. From the beginning, I was clear that I was having a Greek Orthodox wedding, and during the reception we do a few traditional dances. When Dylan told me he had experience working Greek weddings, I was thrilled! Dylan will work with you to make sure your night is memorable from start to finish. I highly recommend Real Memories Forever for your wedding!

He has room in the program for all the classic wedding moments you want (and will happily cut any you don’t) and can work in any special local, cultural, or family traditions you can think of. He’ll even tactfully mix in Defying Gravity from Wicked if that’s your thing. Adam was an amazing advocate for our vision of the day and was a huge part of making it happen. THANK YOU ADAM!!!

We have received so many compliments about the DJ we chose, and our venue coordinator Elaine at Smolak farms and photographer Jenn Baldwin loved working with him as well. Highly highly highly recommend DJ Jimmy! (And the photo booth was so fun!)

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I used Showcase Sound for DJ, photo booth and the Led dance floor for my son's Bar Mitzvah. I already knew they were great but WOW! They kept the dance floor packed from the beginning to the very end. I had guests commenting all night (and after) how amazing they were. They kept the kids entertained and EVERYONE danced all night long. They responded quickly whenever I had a question. We had the most amazing evening. I cannot recommend Showcase enough.

Butch Gray, Disc Jockey/Entertainer, LLC

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Salem, 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! :)
