Matt did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ! He was very responsive and understanding whenever I had questions. My husband's family is 100% polish, Matt was so accommodating with their traditions and every request we had. I could not have been more grateful. The music was perfectly on point for every part of the night and he definitely had us all on the dance floor! To quote my guests they "have been to a lot of clubs but Matt is the best DJ they have had by far". Thank you for helping to make our big day one that we will truly remember forever.

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

With a DJ style thats both engaging & fitting at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

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!

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. With all that pressure, it’s no wonder couples can start to feel stressed. At Bright Set Entertainment, we’re honored to relieve some of that pressure by providing you with each of your wedding entertainment needs. Thinking you’d like a harpist or string quartet for your ceremony, but want a DJ or wedding band for your reception? No problem! Our "Mix & Match" packages offer different combinations of live music, photo booth, and DJ services. With such a wide variety of talented entertainers at our fingertips, it's our pleasure to provide you with exactly what you're looking for.

Both my wife and I were genuinely intimidated by picking the right music and DJ for our wedding. While we were excited to find the right person, we weren't so jazzed about the process! Cassandra made it super easy to look through possible DJs and options, was helpful and communicative throughout the entire process, and helped make this piece of the wedding puzzle way less of a 'thing' than we thought it would be. Her recommendation for reception DJ and violinist at our ceremony were excellent, and the music made our day into the best day we both have ever had :) I can't recommend Bright Set highly enough!

Brick Park really brought the fun, so talented, it was more like a concert than a typical wedding. I would highly recommend getting the DJ to spin songs while the band takes a break.

HIRE Gerald and the Plus Ones!!!!! I first heard Gerald play at a friends rehearsal dinner (sadly after I already hired my wedding band), and knew immediately I needed to hire him for my rehearsal/ wedding welcome drinks. Gerald immediately got the vibe of the night and was truly just smashing hit after hit and created the best ambiance and energy. The vibes were seriously immaculate thanks to him. I wish I could go back in time and hire him for my wedding night- I kid you not- and I will regret that I didn’t forever. Not only is he an awesome musician, but Gerald is truly the nicest man you’ll ever meet. Because I’m a last minute person, I think I asked Gerald maybe a week or so before the event to learn a special song for me, and without any issues or hesitation, he did and he killed it. He was even happy and eager to do so. He also took song requests while he was playing and gosh, he really just made the night so wonderful and so special. If I could give him 100000 stars I would. This guy will make any night a great one. Don’t think, just hire him.

One thing about me, I’m going to leave a review! Having officiated several weddings over the years, I've witnessed a myriad of bands take the stage, but this particular band stands out. Living Jade’s remarkable blend of professionalism, talent, and passion elevated the atmosphere of the entire ceremony and reception. It’s refreshing to have musicians who understand volume control during the ceremony. I could actually hear myself think and I didn’t have to compete with their playing when moving the service along. Their ability to read the crowd, catering to both young and old, ensured the dance floor was never empty. The soulful melodies during the vows brought tears to many, and their vibrant tunes during the reception brought uncontainable joy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple seeking a musical experience that resonates long after the last note. Exceptional in every sense!

Holler at Herbert today!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Herbert Holler was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our vision was a longer reception to leave plenty of room for dancing, being together, having fun and really wanted it to be a great time for everyone there, for all ages. HH had everyone dancing at the same time- kids, teenagers, or friends, our parents' friends, and my 89 year old grandmother. He was spot on in reading the room- which wasn't the most straight forward - I asked him to sprinkle some Arabic music in so my Lebanese family could come together over familiar music- all I did was provide him a couple of titles and he ran with the rest. Didn't overdo it, and everybody joined in. It was a dream. HH was professional the whole way through and didn't require tons of collab, and was flexible and quickly responsive. My advice: Hire HH.

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

We had Emmet and Naomi for our indoor December wedding, the venue was a log cabin style lodge. They were a perfect match and we were so glad we chose them. They learned one of our favorite songs for the opening to our ceremony, playing a beautiful instrumental version of it. Our guests loved the music, that it was accessible for everyone, young and old alike. We had toddlers dancing in front of the band, but the guests seated closest to the band during dinner could still carry on a conversation easily. A lot of people really appreciated this, that they could add ambiance and energy without overpowering you. We especially want to thank them for traveling through the blizzard conditions to be there that weekend. We were hoping for a snowy winter wedding, and we got all the snow we could handle that weekend! The Poor Cousins really helped everything come together for us, and we would absolutely recommend them to anybody!

Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

Imagine your guests entering your reception to the sounds of violins as they arrive to your venue, then enter your ceremony or cocktail to the sounds of a string or classical ensemble. Let us show you how to start your party off right and give your guests a “sense of arrival".

We had the pleasure of having Phase One perform at our wedding for the ceremony, reception, and after-party, and they absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were engaged not only with us but with the entire crowd. Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their set list kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music! A special shout out to our Band leader Rich who made the process so easy!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Setting no limit in doing our best to make you dance! plus photo booth rental, 5 star Wedding DJ!

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision you can make for your wedding (besides your soon to be spouse!) is to hire Hector. We bought one of the packages with music, lights, and photo booth. All I heard throughout the night was “I love every song!” Or “this is my favorite song!” I was worried that no one would be dancing and the floor was packed all night. We didn’t want the dancing to end. Not to mention that the photos from the photo booth were amazing, lots of great props. I had no idea how weddings work - schedule, timetables, etc. Hector patiently explained what should be done when, helped with music selections for cocktail hour and dinner, kept us on schedule all night, and overall was a really fun addition to the party. His online system is really easy to use. Also, I felt that he went above and beyond the call of DJ, seeing as my dress caught on the door as I’m about to walk down the aisle and have no hands free. He was there fixing it before anyone could notice what happened. He handled every curve ball With ease and minimal stress for me - like changing dates due to Covid, caterers setting up tables where the photo booth was to go, forecast of pouring rain for our outdoor wedding, etc etc. I was stressed out enough and I can’t describe how helpful it was to be working with someone who minimized stressful situations or took care of things without me even knowing about them. Thank you Hector for everything you did to help create the best night of my life! We are so grateful!

Her willingness to incorporate our personal song choices into her repertoire was a beautiful and meaningful touch. Her attentiveness and responsiveness in the months leading up to the wedding were truly exceptional. On the big day, she surpassed ALL expectations!!

We picked some unique songs for our processional that typically have heavy orchestration involved but Bryan was able to arrange them to sound beautiful on just guitar. The bossa nova they played for our cocktail hour was also incredible, everyone loved it! Such great style and energy all around, we couldn’t have asked for better live music on our special day.

Founded in 2012 by leading musicians in the New York and Connecticut area, our mission is to provide a high quality and flexible string ensemble for any occasion. ​

We can’t say enough about how amazing Andrea was to work with and how awesome our music was for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Andrea is quick to reply and follow up, thorough with her information, and flexible and willing to work with you on whatever you can dream up (Metallic to walk down the aisle-no problem!). The song list is so extensive that we had no problem finding what we wanted and actually had a hard time deciding because we had so many choices! The musicians were professional and delivered exactly what we wanted….and they sounded phenomenal! Our guests raved about the ceremony and cocktail hour music and had a blast trying to guess the songs (we had a lot of rock/pop music included) being played by the string quartet. Our only sadness is that we got pulled away during the cocktail hour for an emergency and didn’t get to hear more of their beautiful music or thank them personally. Amazing to work with and hope we can get to use them for another event in the future. Thank you Andrea!
