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!!!!

On your wedding day, all you want are good vibes. The music is key to that experience, and you want an expert in charge. There is no better pick than Dave. Dave DJ'd my brother's wedding a couple of years ago and my then-girlfriend and I had the time of our life. We decided that day that when our day came, Dave would be one of our first calls. From the beginning Dave was so much fun to work with. He brings so much experience to the table that all you have to do is communicate what you like and don't like and the kind of atmosphere you want. He will take care of the rest. His go-to percussionist is stellar as well. If not done well, drums can overshadow the music and ruin the sound. Dave and his team provide the perfect balance. Dave is also fair and dedicated to his clients. When figuring out our venue's rules about cold sparklers, Dave was prepared to work with us and the staff right away to make it happen, even though there were strict and unusual rules to follow. We ultimately didn't use the sparklers, but this was just one example of Dave's commitment to our day. We were floored. Last but certainly not least, Dave kept our party going for five hours straight! We knew we wanted nothing but dancing, and he delivered. We never left the dance floor, nor did a ton of our guests. From traditional bachata, to old school R&B, to wedding classics, his variety and mix were on point the whole time. Everyone had a blast. I cannot recommend Dave enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Naked Soul (led by Tony and Tom Perrone) absolutely ROCKED at our wedding! Tons of friends and family told us during and afterwards that they were the best wedding band they'd seen, and we might be biased, but we agree wholeheartedly. They were also pretty great to work with, and as a result music was one of the least stressful parts of planning and one of the best memories of the event. The planning process was extremely professional — we had a few calls with Tony to talk over the vibe we were going for in the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance floor. They sent over a list of a couple hundred songs in their repertoire and we picked 20 or so to anchor their idea of what we were looking for and selected our processionals, recessional, first dance, and parent-child dances. Our first dance was not on their list but they learned it and killed it in their performance. Our venue was a little non-traditional (relatively small room for the dance floorband) and we weren't sure that a full band was going to work in the space, but Tony put us at ease and pulled it off amazingly. One of the points Tony made in the run-up was that the songs we were picking were recommendations, not a set list. The band was going to follow the vibe and play more of whatever style was working with the crowd. This made it so much easier for us to pick songs, and in the end they played a lot of stuff that wasn't in our pics but went over better than we could have dreamed. I never thought I'd say that the best songs at my wedding were from the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and Black Eyed Peas. They knew their audience and the place went wild when they played Everybody (Backstreet's Back). The range of songs that a 10-piece band with a full array of vocalists can pull off is wild. Anyway, 10/10, would book again. If you're in the New York area and looking for a party we can't recommend Perrone Bros/Naked Soul highly enough. Bonus, these pics were taken by Tony and posted to their Instagram after the event.

Justin & Jesse were amazing! We got married this past October at Blooming Hill Farm, and they made our wedding so special. We had Justin & Jesse play live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then Justin DJ’ed our reception. Right from the start, Justin was incredibly easy to work and communicate with. We didn’t have a hyper-specific vision for our music and Justin was great at making recommendations but also allowing us to personalize things and make it more us. On the day of, they were punctual and so flexible - I think I sent my cut-off times for the first and parent dances the morning of the wedding! We got so many compliments on the live music, our guests were truly blown away by how talented they were. We had a very small wedding (20 people) and Justin was great at reading the mood on the dance floor. Our guests danced all night long! Can’t recommend these guys enough!

We first saw Daryl's DJ-ing at a friend's wedding. We were hooked and immediately wanted to consider him to DJ our wedding, as the atmosphere Daryl created was incredibly fun. Working with Daryl has been an absolute pleasure. We've had clear communication regarding the timeline, the wedding reception playlist, and getting the songs/audio for the ceremony. Daryl is super friendly and easy to work with. Many of my guests have told me at the wedding "This DJ is really good".

Without a doubt, DJ Tweed is a great addition to your wedding night reception for music and entertainment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Just the Melody Band was hands down the best decision we made for the entire wedding! Melody and Edvin (and the whole band!) are so talented, not to mention so versatile! My fiance and his family are from Mexico and my family is from the US, so we wanted to be able to dance to US wedding classics and early 2000s throwbacks as well as Latin pop, Shakira, and lots of traditional Mexican music and cumbia! We went into our vendor search having no expectation that we’d find a band that could do ALL of that — but we lucked out finding Just the Melody! They can do it all, and SO well! Our wedding guests were on the dance floor until 1am! They also learned our first dance song for us and performed it almost better than the original :) Above all, they were so kind and accommodating and fun to work with and they cared so much about making sure the evening went exactly how we wanted it to go. We cannot recommend this incredible band enough

We booked Marcus Ho for our 2024 wedding! From our first meeting with Marcus, we knew we were in good hands. We had a few calls with other DJs & Marcus stood out from the beginning. Not only was Marcus so personable, but he was truly determined to match the vibe my husband & I were looking for in our wedding music. Our venue was a restaurant with multiple rooms & he managed to have the sound play wonderfully throughout the place. He even went above & beyond by scoping out the restaurant the day before to ensure his set up for the day of. Marcus did a great job of announcing our toasts, clearing the floor for first dances & providing thoughtful and meaningful announcements when needed. He kept our dance floor packed all night long by playing our “must plays” while also feeling the vibe of the room to keep everyone (regardless of age) dancing and having fun. Looking back on our wedding, there were little mishaps & things we did not expect for. The true ONE thing my husband & I never had to worry or think about was our music. Having Marcus be our DJ alleviated any potential stress because we know he truly cared about our wedding. He was extremely flexible with the venue, personable with our guests, and exceptionally talented at what he does. I would recommend him 100x over! Out of the different vendors we had - restaurant, hair/makeup etc THIS guy is the absolute #1 recommendation.
