Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience hiring Seductionz Soundz for our PA wedding. Kevin was very responsive and professional right away to our requests which is why we chose him. The preparation was easy and straightforward via email and phone. The day of the event, everything went perfectly. We were particularly happy with some of Kevin's suggestions such as the table dash photos (which are so great to have) and all the guests rushing up to us on the dance floor, which was really fun and made for great photos. Our guests said the MC and crowd work from Kevin was something they'd never seen before and really enjoyed. He was so great at getting the energy up on the dance floor and keeping it that way all night. I highly recommend him!

I've seen Grant play at various venues and can't recommend him highly enough! He's incredibly professional and thorough, tailoring his set and performance to the tone of the event and blending in seamlessly. He has a beautiful singing voice and creates a really impressive one man band effect using his looping setup to layer in all parts of the song live in front of you. It's pretty incredible to see how he builds the song real-time without any backing tracks or pre-recorded stuff. I would feel confident hiring him for anything from a small cocktail party to a full wedding reception. Grant is the best!

We first met Hollywood at a friend’s wedding a number of years ago, and hiring them for our wedding was the best decision we could have ever made. Early on in the planning process we knew that music was the most important thing to us, but what we did not realize was how important the band was to our day. They kept us on schedule and covered all our musical interests, learning all our song requests flawlessly. Thinking about hiring Hollywood for your big day? Look no further! You will not regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
If we could give The Hook Club more stars, we would! Let me get my one gripe out of the way at the top here: I’m pretty sure the only reason my now husband agreed to a wedding celebration was to hire The Hook Club after seeing them at a friend’s wedding before we met. It was the only part of the wedding planning process he felt truly passionate about from the jump – we knew we wanted them before we even had a venue or date and went so far as to clear our potential dates with them before booking anything else. Fast forward, and Dan made the band planning process so supported and seamless that my husband’s one job went off without a hitch. The problem? Despite me planning every other single little detail of our three-day wedding weekend, the first thing that every single guest complimented (and still raves above, 1 month later) was THE BAND! But in truth, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We are absolutely ecstatic with our choice of hiring The Hook Club for our wedding. We did acoustic guitars for the ceremony, sax and tracks for cocktail and band and DJ for reception. THC was outstanding to work with from the jump. Dan is a wealth of knowledge and organization, and brings a calm, cool, collected vibe through every step of the planning process. Not to mention, he’s a great musician who can come discuss timeline with you while also playing the base day of :D. The process THC uses to help plan is smooth and clear. The communication was great throughout – we knew what to expect from the first planning call all the way up to some adhoc timeline changes day of. The band has an extensive repertoire and was able to take in our song, vibe, and timeline requests while also using their extensive experience to guide us along the way. The music carried the vibe throughout the day – from guitars at the ceremony to sax and tracks leading through cocktail hour and a mix of dance sets, slow dances, and expert MC’ing on the dance floor, we couldn’t get enough. So much so, that we extended the end time of the event just to have more fun on the dance floor with THC! Everyone was so nice, supportive, energetic and just brought their outstandingly talented A game and the absolute best vibe. The band got out on the dance floor with us, led us in call and response and a little choreographed proud Mary moment. Our first dance song is not a very common song, not only did THC learn it for us, but they provided us a track of their composition beforehand so we could practice the dance. You’ll see in the pictures my face when I first heard them play it – completely awestruck! That was pretty much my inner face the entire rest of the night in their presence. I have so many fond memories of engaging with THC throughout our wedding. If I could do it again, I’d hire THC without a second thought.

Awarded Best of Zola
The short version of this review: if you want the music at your wedding to be awesome and exactly what YOU love to hear, and without cheesey emcee vibes, hire Marcus! Marcus did such an amazing job DJing our wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled. He is extremely thoughtful with his work. He took careful note of my husband and my musical tastes and preferences, as well as the vibe of our wedding, instead of playing a standard tired playlist. Per our request, he blended in some Latin music seamlessly. The dance floor was full and lively all night long, exactly as we had hoped for! He played songs we hadn’t requested but that we love, leaving me wondering how he could have known so well what to play. He also respected our “do not play” list, as I found out multiple guests requested songs on it and he politely declined. Marcus is very thorough and organized which made working with him so easy- he was on top of all the details, order of events/cues, even reviewed proper name pronunciation with us in advance. The event manager at our venue said she loved working with him and was very impressed. Marcus has such a kind and warm personality, and a really special talent- we feel so lucky that he was part of our big day!

As the Resident DJ at Raising Cane’s Times Square, he also offers photo booths and lighting for weddings, special occasions, and corporate events. Despite changes in his work, Dan is committed to delivering exceptional, memorable experiences, challenging norms with his innovative musical approach.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Dan, I felt this incredible sense of calm. I’d been told by others, “Your DJ will just do whatever they want”, but I quickly learned that Dan is different. He listens, really listens, not just to what you say, but to the things you don’t even realize you’re communicating. He takes those details, both spoken and unspoken, and uses them to craft a wedding experience that feels so personal, you’d think he’s known you for years. Dan’s kindness is the kind you feel, not just in the way he treats you, but in the way he treats your day. He takes his job seriously because he understands it’s not just about music; it’s about moments. And he works tirelessly to protect those moments. There are countless things he does behind the scenes that you’ll never even know about, all to make sure your day runs smoothly and exactly how you dreamed. Our wedding was especially tricky as we were blending Italian and Egyptian traditions, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all flow naturally. I told Dan how important it was to represent both cultures equally while also capturing us as a couple. He didn’t just nod and say, “Got it.” He researched. He planned. He asked thoughtful questions. He made sure every transition made sense, every song had a purpose, and every moment felt intentional. With Dan, you’re not just getting a DJ. You’re getting a guide, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart. You can ask him about things that have nothing to do with music— timeline issues, vendor suggestions, tricky wedding-day logistics—and he’ll give you honest, experienced advice because he truly cares about the big picture, not just his part in it. On the day itself, Dan wasn’t just playing music. He was quietly orchestrating the energy of the room. He made sure our guests were always engaged, that the dance floor was never empty, and that the flow of the night matched our personalities. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the music blended our two cultures and one friend was literally Shazamming song after song because every single track was that good. Also, if you’re debating about a photo booth, DO IT and book it through Dan. The quality was insane. Everyone loves a photo booth, but these were hands-down the best photo booth shots we’ve ever seen at a wedding. Other agree.Crisp, vibrant, and so much fun—our guests are still raving about them. Dan sends you all the photos taken throughout the night and my husband and I keep going through them. It’s so fun to see our guests having a great time. Dan wasn’t just our DJ. He was our advocate, our cheerleader, and our behind-the-scenes hero. If I could give him 100,000 stars, I would. If you’re lucky enough to have Dan Fudim available for your date, book him immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make.

We want your guests to leave saying, “that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

We hired the Met Players to perform at our wedding reception, and we would make the same decision again a million times over. Seriously, they were the best wedding band we’ve ever heard. And it wasn’t just us — we had dozens of our guests come up to us with the same sentiment. That’s because they truly are just that good. From the beginning phase of planning to the wedding day of our dreams, the Met Players were flexible, willing to listen to us and what we wanted on the day of and genuinely easy to work with. Having given them a handful of song selections, they were able to perfectly curate a setlist that absolutely knocked it out of the park. The band learned an unusual special song to us that was one of the many highlights of the night, speaking to just how willing they are to make the day of your dreams. At no point throughout the night did the band let the dancefloor go empty. We cannot recommend the Met Players highly enough if you’re looking for a wedding band that will blow everyone away and keep the party going all night long.

From the moment we first spoke with Matty at MD Music & Entertainment, we knew we were in good hands. You learn quickly in wedding planning how important communication is and Matty is excellent in this regard. He was quick to respond, helpful and reassuring every step of the way. The quality of Matty's work and his value was truly exceptional - Matty took the time to understand our taste in music and the vibe we wanted for each aspect of the night, and then spun that into absolutely perfect playlists. Our guests were on the dance floor until the final minute, raving about how incredible the music was. I should note, we requested what was basically a 4.5 hour dance set and Matty didn't bat an eye and our guests never wanted to leave. I think it's worth noting that Matty's style is to let the music shine and he won't overpower that with too many announcements or call outs. Also, I know he got requests from guests in real time but he protected the work we'd done together in advance and made sure not to stray from what we communicated that we wanted as a couple in those moments. Matty also went above and beyond to help organize live music with a family member, demonstrating his professionalism and commitment to making our day special.

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Music has always been my way of connecting with people. I’ve spent years DJing weddings and private events where the right song changes the whole room. I love working with couples who care about how their night feels and want their guests to feel included and alive in the moment. I do this because there is nothing better than seeing a room full of people celebrating together to music that feels like it was made for them.

There truly aren't enough stars. If you're having a wedding (or literally any life function at all) and want your guests to have the absolute best time dancing, browse no further. In addition to making sure all was smooth on the sound for our ceremony, Peter was the legit heartbeat of our reception. From curating an excellent and eclectic dinner mix to editing our (unique) first dance song choice down to perfection to keeping our friends nonstop dancing from forks down to the 1am tail end of our afterparty, there's nothing this man can't do. On top of that, he'll do it while dancing and vibing out as hard as anyone, and bringing wamrth, kindness and collaboration at every step. He also truly lives up to the Peter Piper-ness of his name. Every moment I was convinced I needed to call it and rest, he knew just the perfect song to make you pivot right on back to the dance floor and keep going. All of the glowing hype in every review is so real. Brb, hitting up my HR team to see about getting him at our holiday party.

My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM without question. Having worked with Madison Janice before (I work in hospitality events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans.

The Brooklyn Beats is THE BEST wedding band you will ever work with. Seemless planning, thorough communications and the absolute best time on the dance floor. They navigated the venue and last minute setup issues with ease and brought the house down with their performance - not a lull in the dance floor for one moment, everyone was truly dancing the night away! Would hire them a thousand times over!

Working virtually with Anthony and his team at Quality DJ Services Inc. was a truly wonderful experience. From the pricing, communication, and all-around service, they were top-notch. Anthony was truly a joy to work with - he understood exactly what we were looking for, and every genre of music played during our wedding reception was on point.

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ company to be a part of our wedding celebration.

I’m Alex Edge — a DJ, music curator, and lifelong fan of a great party. I started Alex Edge & Co. to bring a more personal, elevated energy to wedding entertainment. With years of experience behind the decks and a sharp instinct for reading the room, I’ve built a trusted collective of DJs and musicians who know how to create unforgettable moments.

Alex Edge & Co. was phenomenal from start to finish! From our very first meeting, Alex totally understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding and delivered it perfectly. The music was spot-on all night — every song flowed seamlessly, and the dance floor was packed from the first dance to the last song. Guests of all ages were out there having the best time, and we got so many compliments on how fun and energetic the night felt. Alex also did an incredible job keeping everything on schedule and making transitions smooth, we never had to worry about a thing and there was never one lull. If you want a DJ who can read the crowd, bring the energy, and make your wedding unforgettable, Alex Edge is the one! We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

SpeechLess Music is a high-energy band based in New York, NY, bringing a distinctive NYC edge to wedding receptions. Covering anything from retro hits to modern classics, this full-service band can cater to every stage of the big day.

Brooklyn Electric is the best band for your wedding if you are looking for something different. They bring a rock 'n roll energy that is lacking in the run-of-the-mill wedding bands out there. Most bands are just plain stale, full of fake smiles and overly coordinated dance moves. Brooklyn Electric plays with pure, authentic passion. The feeling and energy the band creates is truly euphoric!

Chantal Music NYC are the colors to a blank canvas. Carla Fabiani and her team transform your special day into a magical moment, and a memory that will last forever. I highly recommend Chantal Music NYC. I hired them to play at my sister’s wedding, it was everything she dreamt of and more. It was a true pleasure to work with such extreme professionals, and very much a collaborative experience. You are provided with an extensive list of songs to choose from plus one custom song of your choice. No matter which musician you choose they are all incredibly talented and diverse and can play anything you request for your special occasion. My sister had a vision for her custom song and we provided Carla with the inspiration and from there she beautifully created a new score, which was divine. My sister chose the Violin & Guitar duo to bring it all to life. It truly was a magical dream come true.

GFA was INCREDIBLE!! We hired them to perform at our wedding in Vail and were truly one of the greatest highlights from our day. The set list was amazing, they kept the dance floor packed all night, and our guests still can’t stop talking about how fantastic the band was. From the beginning, the team was so communicative and easy to work with- we loved the way they built our set list using our taste of music, while still allowing us to be surprised on the day. The musicians are each amazing and so versatile, and they did such a great job keeping the party going and the crowd engaged! My husband is a musician and surprised me by playing two songs at the reception- the GFA team was so helpful in coordinating this surprise and bringing his vision to life. We truly couldn’t imagine our day without GFA. They are an absolute must book!!!
