Awarded Best of Zola
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. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!

We had The Last Nites at our wedding in upstate NY on 9/14/24 and it was the best decision ever!!! Waylan was such a pleasure to work with, was very responsive and professional, and you can tell he's very passionate about what he does. We had The Last Nites do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and they were amazing! Waylan had really great suggestions for song choices when we were stuck on what to do for the ceremony and entrance songs and it sounded fantastic. They learned 2 songs for us and executed them perfectly. During the reception, they truly brought the energy and everyone was up dancing ALL night! I received so many texts the next day about how amazing they were and asking how I found The Last Nites! We truly cannot thank you enough for making our day so fun, special, and stress free. I cannot recommend The Last Nites enough and we are so so grateful to have found them!!!

Having AMP Band for our wedding was an A Experience. For our wedding, we used the DJ/Band Entertainment for reception, along with the String Duo Violins for the ceremony. During the pre-wedding planning stage, Ana & Jimmy took the time to get to know us on a personal level and answered all of our questions quickly through emails and zooms. What I loved about the planning stage with them was their ability to incorporate our music suggestions, while also providing feedback on music through their expertise. On the wedding day, they absolutely crushed it!! During our wedding, it was a perfect mix of live and dj entertainment during our reception.
