Fernando at Blanc Noir Event Group was one of the best hiring decisions for our wedding! Our friends and family are still raving to us about what a great time they had. We danced the WHOLE night and the “hora loca” blew everyone’s minds. Fernando also incorporated our song requests seamlessly, ensuring the vibe was right before playing anything. Given that it was a bilingual wedding, he also ensured that both languages were incorporated so everyone felt included and it wasn’t overwhelming on either side. I appreciated that a whole lot. He played a major role in making our wedding the most fun wedding, and was a pleasure to work with, and highly professional.

EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the music for our reception and cocktail hour! We went with The Gramercy, a DJ/band combo, and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they kept the energy up and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted. They were incredibly interactive with our guests, which really added to the fun. It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with. One highlight was when they played "Shipping up to Boston" and all of the Boston College alumni went crazy on the dance floor! See the pics below, from our amazing photographer Carolina Rivera (who we also recommend!) We had the best time, and the music made the night unforgettable. We can’t thank The Gramercy enough for helping us create such an incredible celebration!

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Hillsdale, NJ

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Mushmouth is an absolutely incredible band—they had people asking us all night (and still to this day) how I found them. I think I turned quite a few of our wedding guests into Mushmouth groupies! From the beginning they were very accommodating, always quick to respond and accommodating to our song requests. They have a huge set list to select from no matter what your taste is, and they even learned new songs just for us so that we could do our first dance with live music. It really felt like we were part of a live concert just for us at our wedding. They sound so amazing and not only are they truly talented musicians, but they are also incredible performers who got everyone to dance and sing along. I received compliments all night that they were the best cover band anyone had ever heard. Mushmouth made our wedding day extra special, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Hillsdale, NJ

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

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.

Wedding 11.10.2024 Where do we even begin?! Phil at All Generations was fantastic to work with leading up to our wedding, and we didn’t think it could get any better—until the big day! Our MC and DJ were absolutely the best we’ve ever seen at a wedding. While we might be a bit biased, our guests confirmed it, saying they’d "never seen such an empty room of tables because everyone was on the dance floor!" Guests couldn’t stop raving about how they couldn’t leave the dance floor and had endless compliments for both the DJ and MC. We had Mike as our MC, and while we don’t recall the DJ's name, he was phenomenal. I know some reviews mentioned DJs not playing requested songs, and while a few of our requests weren’t played, we’re actually so thankful for that. After all, we hired a DJ to read the room, not just follow a playlist—and he nailed it! Every song he played was exactly what the moment called for, keeping the energy high and the floor packed all night long. Every single track was a hit, and there wasn’t one moment where people stopped dancing. Truly, every song was a banger! We couldn’t be happier with the incredible vibe they created. They were all a huge part of what made our special day so memorable.

Tyler was so communicative with us throughout the wedding planning process and was always easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions. His company uses an app called Vibo that interfaces with Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, and a bunch of other music streaming services so you can virtually have access to any song that has ever existed to play at your wedding. Tyler himself was the DJ and MC for our wedding day and he made sure he played all the songs that we requested, and tailored the music to exactly what we asked for. When I tell you the dance floor was full all night long and multiple people came up to me to say how cool our DJ was and how good the music was that he was playing. Our wedding was a Sunday night and ended at midnight and despite people having work the next day or having to travel far to get home from our venue, our dance floor stayed full until the very last minute of the wedding, thanks to DJ Tyler. He also provided the uplighting and the photo booth which was a super chic black and white glam booth, which we received digital copies of all the photos from the photo booth after the wedding.

Peter & The Master Keys 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Hillsdale, NJ

Peter & the Master Keys is not only a great jazz band with vocals, it's also an energetic dance band specializing in the best soul, blues, and rock n' roll from the 50s and 60s plus a few more contemporary numbers to round out the set. Think Sinatra and Nat King Cole early in the night and then Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Elvis and more later on. The idea is to play fun and energetic music that is timeless and can inspire guests of all ages to dance. We also perform as a trio and quartet for smaller occasions or cocktail parties. Packages include ceremony music, MC, jazz cocktail hour, and dance music.

music makes the difference between a normal wedding and an unforgettable wedding. From our first conversation to the last note that the band played, they were truly unforgettable. The first time we talked, Peter told me that his goal was to get everyone dancing, from the youngest to the oldest. All I can say is that all of my nephews spent the entire night on the floor and the grandmother of the bride got up to share a special moment dancing with her grand-daughter. They were nothing short of outstanding, and I can't speak highly enough about them. If you want a group that is talented, easy to work with, and care about their client, then look no further!

Weddings are our top priority.. We have only one package with add on options. We believe any wedding, big or small, deserves our full attention. With each booking we: -work closely with you, in the months leading up, to arrange the days events, make suggestions where needed, and provide feedback on anything you're needing input on.

The Uptown Getdowns was the perfect band for our wedding reception! Their communication style was efficient and straightforward in the planning process. On the big day, they were extremely talented musicians who knew how to get the party started. The horns section was a must-have that seamlessly blended with the vocals and rhythm section to create a full, complete sound. The band did a fantastic job reading the room and making sure all our guests were engaged and dancing. The Uptown Getdowns brought an infectious energy that resulted in the dance-filled reception of my dreams. Simply put, they were my dream wedding band - professional, fun, and talented.

Our priority is ensuring that your wedding reception creates memories that will last a lifetime. With our experience, knowledge of music, and creativity, we will take your dream event and turn it into reality. We cater to each couple’s specific needs through personalization of songs and sets. We want your experience with Excel to be the easiest, yet most exciting part of booking your special day.

Everyone wants to ensure their wedding is memorable - not only for themselves, but for their guests. Our priority was making those memories on the dance floor with our friends and family. We turned to Jason and Excel Entertainment to make that dream a reality - which they certainly delivered and then some. Our wedding night flew by as Excel seamlessly transitioned from one song to the next, putting on an unforgettable show. They played the all of the songs we requested, skipped the ones we did not, and read the room for the rest. No one left the dance floor longer than it took to use the restroom or grab a drink. As the night was coming to a close, we kept checking the time to do some mental math on how many more numbers we might have left. We simply did not want it to end. After the last song the crowd begged for one more. Jason and Excel obliged with an emphatic "F*!k it", and gave the crowd one additional song. It was amazing. Jason truly cares about the quality of the performance they deliver. He worked with our venue’s constraints to make sure it could be done correctly without compromising any quality. The band controlled the flow and vibe of the night and it was flawless. Their DJ Band Hybrid is a unique and unparalleled experience. We could not recommend them more highly or be more grateful for the night they gave us!!

Rafael A. Pacheco was born and raised in Union City, NJ. As a young boy he was introduced to the world of music, specifically the sounds of Jazz and the latin rhythms from his Cuban roots. Singing, dancing and playing his way through childhood, he finally went pro as a teenager dancing and competing nation wide in a variety of dance styles. His career eventually evolved into acting where he develop the stage presence and speech skills necessary to become a bilingual MC.

NLE was one of the best choices we made for our entire wedding! Rafael and Elvis did an amazing job of incorporating all of our favorite music and keeping our mix of cultures happy. We had so many compliments on the music afterward! We also booked our photo booth and percussionist through NLE- both were a hit with our guests! We can't thank NLE enough for making our wedding reception so much fun.

We are now working with DJs to create the perfect package for everyone. Photo video and DJ packages can be custom to your liking. Cause of how many different ways you can customize your DJ packages we just have the bare minimum starting price that comes with Speaker/Mic system with basic uplighting. But you can upgrade the DJ package anyway which helps your special day stand out the most. From uplighting to dancing robots. We are LGBTQ+ Friendly

I know its a bit weird for me to leave a comment when this profile has the same name as mine. (I should of added DJs at the end) But I have to say that the hard work to come together to form a group of talented people that can give a client almost everything they want with just 1 group is awesome. The 3 DJs I'm working with right now, hopefully more to come, and the photo video crew we have been working with since last year of course, have really made each other's businesses whole in a way. Can't wait to see what we can do.

When my friends started to get married, the requests to DJ their weddings began pouring in. It made sense, they wanted to party, and I had helped them do it weekend after weekend all over NYC. It only took one wedding for me to realize that they needed a lot more help than what I did in the clubs. These days, I and my team help plan & entertain at all types of events (not just weddings), clients become friends (they don’t start there) and they benefit from our staff’s collective experience and the 10 years in the event industry Stem Productions has been active.

We were trying to plan a wedding in 4 months with no planner and luckily for us we had the absolute pleasure of working with Steve and Stem production for our wedding, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, he was an incredible resource throughout the entire planning process. Steve’s experience and insights were invaluable, not only for the music portion but for the wedding as a whole. He was always willing to share advice, tips, and his own experiences to help make sure every part of our day ran smoothly.
