Where to begin. Tyler (DJ The Hacker) was more than just a DJ at our wedding. He helped us coordinate basically everything from start to finish. He gave us pointers and tips that were beyond helpful in creating a timeline and he was able to get everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, get up and start dancing with his song selections. He was very open with our “must play” list and made sure to include all of our selections. If you come across this review, seriously look no further. My now wife and I are very very big music fans and we knew that the DJ would be the life of the party. Tyler met and infinitely exceeded those expectations. Tyler, thank you so so much for DJing our wedding. You were one of the biggest reasons that the day was absolutely perfect

Working with Dynamic Excitement was an absolute pleasure. Thomas had the dance floor full all night, was able to crowd read very well and provided them with all the hits they didn't know they needed. He was very easy to work with, very professional, thorough with his questionnaire that is provided to his clients, all of his wires were tied up and out of everyones way (something you don't know is important but it sure does make a difference), and was able to accommodate to a variety of age groups throughout the night. Dynamic Excitement also provided my client with uplighting which created a romantic ambiance to the entire venue space- which also created a beautiful background for the detail shots of the venue. All in all, Dynamic Excitement is a DJ company I see myself recommending to all of my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Second Song! Planning was super easy with the Rob team during the 9ish months leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, DJ Shredy was THE ICON of the night. We had built the playlist for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, and he very much followed that our wishes. We really appreciated that because music is a huge part of our relationship. He was also very responsive over email and phone. He had a great personality on the day and was the perfect blend of an MC who was communicative but not overly on top of the mic. During the dance party portion of the evening, he rightfully threw in choices of his own that we hadn't thought of and I am so glad he did. He brought life to the party and we have gotten compliments since our wedding night about how much fun everyone had and how perfect the dance floor was. We are so grateful to him and the Second Song team. Thank you!

Cooper Union was the absolute BEST wedding band I have ever seen at a wedding (yes, I may be a little biased as it was my wedding, but this is also what all my friends and fam said as well!). Brennan played and sang several songs on the piano for the ceremony, and it really made the ceremony special. He took our special requests, singing everything from The Grateful Dead, to Jack Johnson, to John Legend. His voice is absolutely incredible. And he did all this in 45 degree weather, mind you! We had a 6-piece band for the reception, and our guests absolutely loved them! Everyone was dancing the entire time, and we had an absolute blast! They sounded amazing and had tons of energy (despite the freezing cold). I would definitely recommend that you book them for your wedding! I knew I wanted a live band for my wedding, and Cooper Union exceeded my expectations.

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

Opulence Band made our wedding absolutely unforgettable! They brought the party and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They worked closely with me on a playlist and allowed me to customize every detail of the reception and announcements. The band transitioned perfectly from dj'd songs to live songs and even coordinated playing our custom first dance song AND a surprise karaoke song from our best man! Lewis was an amazing MC at the reception and ideal contact throughout the whole process. I felt so comfortable leaving this HUGE part of my wedding dream in his hands. At the end of our wedding I think more people complimented us on the band than any other part of the wedding. We are still getting requests for their contact information to play other guests' weddings and events. Even our veteran wedding planner said we had scored the best band she'd ever heard. I cannot imagine my wedding without Opulence Band and recommend them without any hesitation!!
