Jay was our DJ (and friend) at our wedding at Renault Winery this past April. We cannot say enough good things about working with him! From the very beginning, he ensured us that he would make all of our wedding reception dreams come true and he DEFINITELY executed! He kept our dance floor full the entire night, he took care of displaying home videos on a projector during the daddy/daughter and mother/son dances, we booked a trio to play live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and all of this came out beautifully! We could not recommend Jay with his great energy and On The Beat FX more!!!!!

The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,000

With powerful vocals and original arrangements The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band brings a unique and customized experience to your wedding. Kristin is equally at home belting Aretha blues as she is crooning Christina ballads and impresses with her vocal versatility. Uton’s powerful range and stage presence bring all the entertainment you could ask for. From a killer rhythm section to a stellar presentation, we promise to make your special day memorable and fun for all ages! Contact us here for more information.

Choosing Kristin as part of the live band for our wedding reception was one of the best vendor decisions my husband and I made. From the very beginning, Kristin was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She even learned 5 new songs for us! She learned songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and even learned Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” for me, a huge Swiftie! Kristin performed a whole range of songs, from pop to rock to even some oldies that pleased my older relatives! Everyone at our wedding found a song to dance to by the end of the night. Our guests kept coming up to my husband and I just to say how much they loved the band, but notably, Kristin! Needless to say, Kristin absolutely rocked it and created some special moments that my husband and I will never forget! She came out into the crowd to dance and interact with my two young nieces (ages 4 and 2), who, in turn, instantly became part of the show. We cannot recommend Kristin Trotta and her Wedding Band more highly as a live band for your wedding day. They will for sure make your wedding one to remember!

We had an amazing experience with The Hook Club for our wedding. Dan and his team were so easy to work with, and their 5-piece DJ band was the perfect, fun switch-up from a traditional band for our June wedding at Greenpoint Loft. We also had a ceremony guitarist and a saxophonist with tracks for the cocktail hour, which added great touches to the day. The uplights they brought for the room were priced very well and created a beautiful atmosphere. The music planning worksheet they provided was incredibly helpful, and they offered valuable advice on the timeline and flow of the reception, which was a huge help. They were fun to work with, and on the night of the wedding, they absolutely crushed it. The music was fantastic, they kept the vibes high, and their crowd engagement was excellent. We highly recommend The Hook Club for any event. They made our wedding unforgettable!

I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night.

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!

Each song blended into the next so smoothly. People were avoiding going to the bathroom and barely anyone touched our dessert because they didn't want to stop dancing.

I can not imagine my wedding night without having Cooper Union Band there. I cannot express enough what an amazing time was had by EVERYONE! We gave them a few genres to play from and they did not disappoint. Not even in the slightest. The vibe was amazing and the TALENT WAS BEYOND. I still cant believe the level of talent that was there that night. The vocalists, the horns, the percussion, keys... EVERYONE was spectacular. They were having such good time performing! The energy was contagious. Our friends came from all over the country and they kept going ON & ON about how amazing the band was ... even WELL beyond our wedding day we were getting comments. I highly recommend anyone looking to hire entertainment for their event to choose Cooper Union Band!

Walking down the aisle to the sound of their string quartet truly made me feel like a true princess! It made my fairy tale dreams come to true! In addition to the beautiful day of music, the consultation process prior to the day of was so smooth and I felt so supported! I booked EMG last minute before my wedding and they pulled off everything I wished! I do wish I had booked EMG to also be my DJ for my reception and if I could change anything for the day of my wedding, that would be it! EMG is an incredibly professional and talented group!

My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!! Thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!!

“Your wedding band was amazing,” was what I heard the most from my guests after they remised about the night, and everyone is right, The Last Nites are amazing. Waylan and team put on a show and made my wedding night unforgettable. Music was huge for me so when I went to hire a wedding band, I went to a lot of shows before booking. The Last Nites was by far the best band I went to see. From their song selection, to the way they work the stage, if you’re not dancing it’s because you’re sitting and you’re most likely still bopping your head. We hired TLN for the entirety of the wedding: Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All of it was perfect. For the song selections, we were able to choose a good amount of songs that we liked from their wide array of songs, and then TLNs put together a set list based on our tastes, which, they nailed. They learned our first dance, a father-daughter dance, and also a ceremony procession song, all of which were perfect. I’ve always wanted to walk to a song from my favorite video game and although it seemed really hard and somewhat impossible, Waylan made sure it happened. I still get emotional thinking about the rendition I was lucky enough to walk to, it really made my wedding day that more special. Everything about working with The Last Nites was perfect, and they made my wedding that much more amazing; it felt like I wasn’t at a wedding, but a show where everyone was on the floor dancing. The team showed up on time, set up, and looked amazing. Everything was super professional and on point. I can’t recommend The Last Nites enough, and anyone who attended my wedding, or I bet even sees them perform, would say the same.
