Awarded Best of Zola
If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

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.

Elegant Music Group is a full-scale entertainment company offering Bands, DJs, Lighting, Photo Booths, and Event Production. 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!

The Loveday Band provides lighting and a sound system for the events that they perform at. The band is willing to learn new songs for couples who have their heart set on something specific.

We found this band on YouTube, we were digging there to watch some videos of wedding bands, and we were lucky. I, my fiancé, and some family members, were searching for bands, so we found Loveday Band, everyone loved the video, so we contacted them. Marcel is a great guy, he's the manager, he listened to my vision for my wedding, and after just listening to me, he starts to put pictures in the air illustrating my vision, he is amazing. From planning the timelines throughout the year to the big day, he did everything as we expected. He takes care of everything, he put a pianist and a violinist to receive all my guests at Park Savoy entrance, everyone still sometimes commenting on how beautiful that was, he created such a perfect atmosphere from the beginning. Our ceremony had a professional violinist and a pianist, they made us feel as if we were in a royal castle, and during the cocktail we had his Jazz Trio Band, they were professional musicians and the band as well. The Band had a memorable performance, seeing everyone on the dance floor, and looking that dance floor completely full, was the best answer about this band, I still having compliments for the performance of this band, as they said, I had a party of my dreams, we were lucky to have Loveday band in our wedding, thanks again, Love, Mariah & Jerry

Tammy delivered hands down! She understood the assignment and everyone had a blast. The dj is one of the most important people at this type of an event and she took the time to listen to what we wanted and made it happen. Having access to her Dj app made the process very seamless. I had two consultation calls with her. We decided to go with the photo booth, which was such a lovely added piece to our day and I’m so glad that we did! There was even an attendant at the booth! It can be a little difficult to get in contact with her, but just know that she has it all figured out so be patient and she will get the job done! Thanks again Tammy we are forever grateful!

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Lake Hiawatha, 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.

  • Serves Lake Hiawatha, 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
The Barnstorm isn't a "wedding" band. They're a band. A really great band. And that makes them the best wedding band, in our opinion. We went to one of their live shows before booking them to play at our wedding and we knew immediately they were perfect. The band is 7 guys who you would want to be friends with -- which makes them blend in seamlessly at a wedding. Their range of songs is awesome. Everyone raved about their playlist, including a few of our guests who are huge music snobs. They also did an awesome job of getting everyone involved. People were dancing, singing along, even getting a second or two on the mic. It was like having a private live show at our wedding, which we loved and all of our guests loved. The vibe is much better than other wedding bands we've seen. On top of that they were incredibly easy to work with and accommodating. Brooks never made us feel bad for requesting songs, no matter how random, and they learned anything we asked them to that they had the right instruments for. Overall it was an awesome experience and we could not possibly recommend them enough. If every wedding we go to in the future has Barnstorm as the band, we'll be thrilled.

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!

Founder Robert Frannicola created Ultimate Entertainment ft. RF LLC in 1999. His concept was to raise the bar in service and performance in the mobile entertainment market. When it comes to weddings, nothing is too large or too small.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are considering using Ultimate Entertainment for your wedding, book them RIGHT NOW! My husband and I went to a wedding (before we were even engaged) and I said if we got married, this would be my first phone call. Sure enough, as soon as we had our venue booked we called Rob. Rob doesn’t just come to your wedding, Rob IS your wedding. I can’t count how many people said they’ve never seen such a fun wedding DJ team or how many people said they never dance at weddings, but they got up & danced at ours. Rob’s energy set the vibe not only for the whole reception, but for the entire planning process. We had a Christmas themed wedding (12/22) and Rob took that idea and ran with it. It felt like one big Christmas party and we couldn’t have been happier. His team also made the whole planning process so easy—they answered emails quickly, and they were always all so friendly. We also used them for our photo booth and it was great—we ended up forgetting to put out our guest book, so the photo booth scrapbook was a lifesaver. We can’t say enough good things about UE—if you need a team for your event, look no further, you won’t find better.

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.

A stable and fun act that has been serving the New Jersey/NY market for over 20 years. Very dependable, very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance or suggestions. We encourage our clients to come out and hear us live to decide for themselves. Much better than viewing a video and trusting it was all done live in one take.

Hoi Polloi - 10/10 having a band was super important to us. Hoi Polloi was everything we could have hoped for and more! They played all the music we asked for and were great to work with from the start. We booked them for our ceremony, our cocktail hour, and had 11 people with horns and a DJ. They were fantastic to work with and we loved working with them. Jim is super responsive which makes a difference. He made sure the band knew all the music we wanted to play and they even interacted with guests (which I loved).They are also VERY reasonably priced and should probably charge more! They were great. I think the biggest compliment is that people from all ages kept saying they loved them which was perfect to me. They opened with Runaround Sue which is one of the best wedding songs in the world. Everyone got on the dance floor once that song came on and they didn’t leave.

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.

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.

Peter & The Master Keys

  • Serves Lake Hiawatha, 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.

Peter, along with all the incredible musicians in the band were amazing in every aspect. Before the wedding Peter and I worked through a variety of details and music ideas to create the night we imagined. With complete professionalism, they were on time, set up quick and each band member we met was truly a joy and excited to be there. This came through in the music. Once the party started we danced all night. I had a steady stream of people telling me how incredible the band is and asking, "where did you find these guys?" Barb and I had an amazing time and Peter and the band felt like friends that night. and their cool factor is 100. Your new fans. Barb and Alan

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.
