The Last Nites 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Shirley, NY

We are the go-to band for folks who want an authentic performance that is miles away from the usual Broadway-styled wedding experience. Our band was put together one musician at a time to make sure we had the right chemistry. That's why when you invite us to your celebration, you will not have to worry about not getting the band you hired. The Last Nites are a real band made up of amazing musicians who love to play music for music's sake.

Awarded Best of Zola
Best decision ever to hire The Last Nites for our wedding! They have a great song list and did an awesome job with the additional song we chose for our first dance. Their energy was great and they really knew how to work with our caterers — when to play down time music during dinner, when to dance, etc. My absolute highlight of the night was when they played one of my all time favorite songs (even though it’s not a crowd favorite). Not only did they make our night so fun and special, but they were easy to communicate with up leading up to our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend The Last Nites for a wedding! All of our guests were so impressed by them and had so much fun dancing and watching them play; they really helped elevate our wedding day and we’ll remember it forever!

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.

Andrew studied music at Five Towns College in Dix Hills and graduated top of his class. After playing in the Long Island music scene for years, he turned his focus into performing for weddings and special events.

Awarded Best of Zola
We'd wanted a guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour to have a very mellow live music addition to the event. After some search, we hired Andrew to play our wedding from only a youtube video and it might have been the best decision we made for that day. Andrew was in contact with us throughout the almost 2 year delay (thanks, Covid) between booking and the event and gave us great recommendations on songs. We went into the wedding with zero playlists and just told him to play whatever - every song was perfect. We only had one requested song which he waited until we were outside to play, and it was great. Our guests still talk to us about the guitarist and how amazing cocktail hour was. Out of everything during the day, who knew the best part would be the first hour? Our biggest regret was not keeping him there for the entire day! You can't go wrong with this man, excellent voice and playing with a wide range. Thank you again, Andrew!

Not only did the music for our ceremony flow seamlessly, but Will—oh my goodness, Will—was incredible! He worked tirelessly to make sure the whole event ran smoothly. His energy and professionalism kept everything on track, and he knew exactly when to turn up the vibe or bring it down to keep things flowing. He was such a key part of making sure the dance floor was packed all night long! You and Andrew worked your magic to keep that dance floor rocking, and you knew just when to push the right buttons to keep everything moving. We never had to worry about a thing. And let’s talk about Chris—he came through with those zap shot photos like a total pro! We had them in hand by the next morning, and that was such a fun surprise! YASSSS! We can’t thank Patrick enough for checking in throughout the day to make sure everything was just how we wanted it and that the music was exactly right. Your attention to detail truly made a difference. And Mike—please let him know our guests loved the photo booth! Shark-Bait-Woo-haha! It was a hit! And OMG, everyone was obsessed with our percussionist Justin! That little jumping bean is beyond talented! He brought such an incredible energy to the party, and his performance added so much life to the night. Seriously, thank you for everything. The day was chaotic, as any wedding day is, but you made sure everything ran on time and with ease. We felt so taken care of, and you helped make it one of the most memorable days of our lives.

Hiring DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin) was the best decision we made when going through the process of hiring our vendors. I am very particular about my music and it was a TOP priority that we worked with someone that understood our vibe, vision, and overall music selection for our big day. He was such a pro and knew what to ask for our venue's AV set up, music prep, and even attending rehearsal which was totally optional for him to join. Kevin understood everything from the timing of the music for the processional, and most importantly my big entrance down the aisle. When it was time to party, he spun all the tunes I requested and also went above and beyond to DJ the most FUN set ever!!! One of my highlights from the day was my husband and I dancing to one of our favorite house tracks that I didn't even request. He just had the perfect song queued up for the right time!!! I can't imagine what the day would have been without him. He had all our guests up and dancing including my parents and uncles and aunties. The vibes were immaculate!!! Above all, his personality is so kind and chill which is the kind of person you want to be working with for such a big life event. I cannot highly recommend him enough!
