Skylark Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Skylark Music. They were one of the best vendors we had at our wedding. Jesse and Justin were professional, prompt, flexible, and amazing performers as well. They listened to all of our ideas and brought our vision to life. They arrived in a monsoon of a rainstorm to set up and never complained. Thankfully we had a pavilion, otherwise, it would not have been possible. I know that multiple guests asked for their information to book them for a future party. They were truly amazing and responsive throughout the entire process. While our wedding day was beautiful, the music that inspired it made it that much better.

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Wow! DJ Lou exceeded our expectations! When it came to the reception we didn't have to do a thing but the preparation came months before that. We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

Dylan was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding DJ and emcee! From the very start, he was incredibly communicative, professional, and so helpful throughout the planning process. He gave us great suggestions and made sure every detail was perfectly planned. On the day of our wedding, he truly exceeded our expectations. Not only did he keep the energy high and the dance floor packed all night, but the flow of the entire evening was seamless. As the emcee, he guided us and our guests through every key moment—from introductions to speeches, to special dances—with such ease. His timing was flawless, and everything transitioned so smoothly that we could just relax and enjoy the night. The vibe he cultivated was unbelievable—it’s hard to even put into words just how perfect his song choices were. He expertly read the room, adjusting the music to keep everyone on the dance floor and having the time of their lives. It felt like he knew exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. The transitions were seamless, the energy was high, and everyone (of all ages) was up and dancing. We had so many guests tell us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and a huge part of that credit goes to Dylan. He truly brought our celebration to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding unforgettable, Dylan is your guy!

In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!

I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties. Some of the locations I have been lucky to perform include the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and The Willard Intercontinental in Washington D.C. Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

We cannot speak highly enough of Terrease, her skill, and her professionalism! My partner and I had not known we wanted live music for our wedding ceremony until we saw a video of her performing. Terrease was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony. Her musicianship was astounding, and she was a delight to work with---organized and communicative and generous. When we had to move our wedding ceremony indoors last-minute, Terrease went above and beyond to make it work, and was extremely flexible and patient. We could not be more grateful for her willingness to be a part of our event and encourage anyone to work with her. She is an absolute delight and incredibly talented!

Marcus was amazing. From the initial conversation to the final conversation he was personable and professional all throughout. We forgot to do our homework and didn't fill out our music sheet until about a week before the wedding. Regardless he was able to put together one hell of a dance party keeping things alive all throughout the night. His attention to detail was fantastic and all in all just a wonderful person to work with. I highly recommend. This is unrelated to Marcus's DJ/MC abilities, but if it were not for him I might still be trying to figure out how to tie a bow tie. He is the man, a godsend. He saved my butt and I can't thank him enough.
