Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t express how grateful we are to Karen and the Sweet Harmony team for an unbelievable performance during our wedding ceremony on 1.21.24. We were delayed getting started due to a groomsman wardrobe malfunction but none of our guests even noticed because they were so entertained by the beautiful music played by the string trio. We could not believe that they played until every last guest walked out the door and into the cocktail room. Karen was attentive, easy to communicate with and really made sure she knew what our expectations for the wedding were. We cannot thank you enough for all the hard work that was put into our wedding. We will definitely be recommending Sweet Harmony in the future!

They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

We got married 5/20/23. I started the search for a band early on as I knew I wanted one with experience, talent, and good reviews. After months of searching I finally stumbled upon Top Tier. I quickly could tell this was the band. Their promotional videos did a great job showcasing their talent and wide variety of music. From slow beautiful ceremony music to rocking reception jams- they truly can do it all…and very well! JD is the main contact for booking and was so helpful, professional and responsive throughout the process. Planning a wedding is stressing is stressful! JD asked what we wanted for our day and made it happen. Our dance floor was packed all night! I mentioned to JD that I’d love to get a conga line going- he picked the perfect song and even brought his guitar out on the dance floor! Needless to say we had an amazing conga line and evening thanks to Top Tier. If you’re searching for a quality band that is experienced and reliable I can’t recommend them enough!

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

Dj Trey was a dream to work with! He was incredibly responsive from the start and corresponded back and forth as many times as it took to get everything perfect! He was understanding of our needs and our audience and it’s very apparent he loves what he does and has mastered his craft. We were so incredibly grateful for the professionalism, dedication to our big day, as well as the ability to make such beautiful decisions musically with our “more mature” set list. We would recommend him to anyone that needs assistance with a special event! We can’t thank you enough for giving such care to our marriage ceremony and reception. You were a pleasure to work with and good luck with your business venture!

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!
