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!!!!!

I've seen Grant play at various venues and can't recommend him highly enough! He's incredibly professional and thorough, tailoring his set and performance to the tone of the event and blending in seamlessly. He has a beautiful singing voice and creates a really impressive one man band effect using his looping setup to layer in all parts of the song live in front of you. It's pretty incredible to see how he builds the song real-time without any backing tracks or pre-recorded stuff.

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!

If you are thinking of hiring a DJ for your wedding, look no further. Marcus was attentive, courteous, professional, classy, and most of all, executed to perfection. He made sure no detail was left to the last minute through constant communication and knowing exactly what questions to ask through to process putting our minds at ease leading up to the big day (mood preference, ensuring procession songs were long enough, name pronunciation etc…). He covered us from the ceremony all the way through the end of the reception. But even before that, he helped us curate our cocktail hour and dinner playlists, and then completely hit the nail on the head for the reception and dancing - adapting in real time to the crowd across a wide variety of genres. I cannot recommend Marcus enough and thank him for being such an integral part of our big day. Brooke Casey

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Justin is amazing! We found him when we went to a friends wedding and loved the fact that he did live music for the ceremony and cocktail and then DJ for the reception. We knew immediately we wanted to book him for ours. Justin is very talented and so easy going. He was great with the crowd and really captured the vibe we were going for. A lot of it we told him to use his best judgement and we couldn't of asked for better music. Everyone at our wedding raved about the music and dancing. It was truly a blast for all ages!

We want your guests to leave saying, “that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring the Metropolitan Players for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. I would give them a 10/5 if I could. The first thing people mention when we talk about our wedding was the band, and how it was the best wedding band that they have ever heard. If you are looking for a band that will engage all your guests and entice them to be on the dancefloor all night look no further! Not only did the band exceed every expectation on the day of, but Erin & Drew were a dream to work with throughout the planning process. The best way I can describe the process is stress free and customized. Erin met with us several times to discuss our vision and get to know us as a couple. Drew then put the band together based on our top vocalist requests and music genre of interest. Even through a few COVID induced planning twists, namely changing our reception venue 2 months before the event, Erin & Drew worked with us every step of the way. Their flexibility and dedication to making our vision a reality went above and beyond. The Metropolitan Players’ ability to get to know their couples, bring your vision to life, and elevate the entire event beyond expectation makes them the all around best in the business. I am positive that you will love your experience with the Metropolitan Players!

He narrated our guys vs girls flip cup game and even judged (girls won by default).

Meet The Cool Rulers! A youthful, professional and world class dance band collective from Brooklyn, NY specializing in Motown, soul, funk, disco and more. Our videos and reviews speak for themselves. Made up of real friends with real musical chemistry and a true love and passion for the songs that we play, The Cool Rulers cater to clients seeking an alternative to your typical flashy top 40 event bands.

Awarded Best of Zola
How to begin to sing the praises of the best band there is? We’ll start with unsolicited reviews from our friends: “Would you be offended if I use your same band for my wedding? I feel like anything else would be a let down.” “What’s your band name? I have to follow them on Instagram.” “Pretty sure that was the best band I’ve seen in 20 years of weddings.” We had our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse, and by 20 minutes into the first set the band had amassed a crowd of passers-by who stopped to watch and listen from a nearby bridge and stayed all evening long. Logistically, The Cool Rulers made life easy. We had a number of special requests for our wedding and The Cool Rulers approved them without hesitation and executed them flawlessly. This included learning 3 new songs, one of which was to be sung by 2 of our friends. Charles & Co coordinated with our friends to send them a demo and arrange time for a quick rehearsal, all of which culminated in a “performance” that seemed as if it had been rehearsed for months. The even accommodated a specific request for how they were set up, leaving us an aisle to walk down and filling it in during a short break later in the evening. The Cool Rulers are immeasurably talented, and the perfect complement to that talent is their ability to set the tone, ride the energy, and deliver an absolutely perfect evening of music and dancing. We could not be happier and could not recommend them more highly. A
