Anthony you are an extraordinaire musician! I was mesmerized by you, you took my mind, my heart and soul to a complete relaxed, happy place. All I did was smile and enjoy. You created your versions of songs my niece Dana wanted at her wedding, making them feel as they were always yours. I was removed from all around me just listening to you...and I was at my niece's wedding! If anyone wants the best of the best..please contact this unique talent, you won't find another like him. Thank you for giving us all a wonderful night.

We had Lucas DJ our wedding in Holbox recently. It was originally scheduled for March of 2020, but we had to cancel and move to Jan 2022. He was a true professional and so wonderful! He made himself available for our new date and didn’t even change his rate (even though he very well could have and all our other vendors did). At the wedding, he was incredible and created the most amazing vibe on the dance floor! The most common comment of the night from everyone, including myself: “I have had to pee for hours but don’t want to leave and miss a song!” He also made the most beautiful remixes of Persian dance numbers and other bangers (I am Iranian and my husband is Irish Catholic). Every single guest was on the dance floor for every single minute. On a personal note, he is also just an awesome and nice person. The best money spent for our entire wedding. I can’t recommend him enough and hope to hire him for every party we ever have!

Awarded Best of Zola
Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Russell, NY

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
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

T. L. Holloway 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Russell, NY

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Awarded Best of Zola
T.L. Holloway was the perfect band for our June garden wedding. Steve, John, Peter, and Dylan are fantastic people, extraordinary musicians, and organized planners. These four showed off their versatility and stamina by playing throughout our whole wedding day — from ceremony music with custom renditions of some of our favorite folk songs, through the cocktail hour and dinner with smooth jazz and Sinatra, and closing out the night with faster jazz mixed with classic American and contemporary tunes to keep everyone dancing. They graciously provided sound equipment for our outdoor ceremony, and Steve artfully handled wedding party introductions during the reception as well as various announcements. Throughout the night we noticed them checking their sound from various locations — that attention to detail and care typified our experience, from our first planning call until their last song. They made everything easy for us, were extremely generous with their time during planning, and their renditions of songs we selected were beyond what we imagined was possible. Our guests (and us!) were simply enamored! As lovers of jazz and classic American tunes (but not necessarily dancing), these guys had us and our guests dancing all night. They matched our style and energy level perfectly. We received countless guest compliments on their behalf, though the credit is all theirs. Whenever we think back on our wedding day, their music will always be a cherished part of it! We can’t recommend enough — or thank enough — T.L. Holloway.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin, but before I go into it. Don’t think- HIRE TONY. We worked with such an incredible team of vendors, and one of the most amazing thing about Tony is that he is so in tune (pun intended) with the wedding industry that he works so well with everyone, is a true team player, and helps to make sure every single aspect of your wedding runs smoothly. We had an initial meeting with Tony before we even signed a contract and within seconds of hanging up we knew we had to work with Tony. He just gets it. He gets everything about weddings. He knows how to curate the perfect vibes and music. He is a phenomenal MC. He has your back throughout every step leading up to the wedding. We had a few meetings with Tony to discuss our goals for the wedding and every time we met with him we got more and more confident that Tony was going to absolutely kill it. Little did we know that Tony was going to create the most perfect set list of songs, create the most perfect mashups, and create a night that every guest and every age group would enjoy. My 86 year old grandma danced the ENTIRE night thanks to Tony’s expertise. You can tell from the minute you meet Tony that he loves what he does. We have had so many friends and family members tell us how incredible Tony was and how we had the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. We’re biased but we agree. Tony made such an incredible impact not only on us, but all of our guests. Also to add, Tony brought cold sparklers and extra lighting for us that absolutely blew our minds. Our dance floor was PACKED from the minute it opened. Tony is a top notch entertainer and a top notch person. If you are given the opportunity to work with him, don’t think twice. Do it. I promise you will not regret it.

The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.

Rd Entertainment Dj Services Inc.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,395
  • Serves Russell, NY

With 20 years of experience as a musician and entertainer, I understand the importance of flow, timing and reading a crowd. For over a decade I have been hosting and dj-ing weddings and private events. People ask me constantly what separates us from other dj services. It's simple, there is no ego or persona that is being represented. No hokey props, radio announcing or other tacky tactics. Honing in on what someone wants, is the key to a successful party. The Client is the window to the event. It just takes someone with experience to know what questions to ask in order to provide an unforgettable event that reflects your taste.

We could not have asked for a more organized, friendly, or FUN DJ in DJ Rocko!! As a dance teacher and lifelong dancer myself, the dancing part of the wedding was always very important to me. DJ Rocko was so easy to work with the I’m not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was full all night! We could not have asked for a better DJ or MC. Thank you Rocko!!!

We LOVE to make people dance !!!!!! Our music library is enormous, if you can dance to it, we probably play it. Great party music that will have EVERYONE on the dance floor. We play all styles of music and sound amazing. Our goal is to make your event AMAZING

Being that we booked our wedding 18 months in advance we had the luxury of listening to just about every band in the Albany area. What we loved about Grand Central Station was, consistency ( same band members all the time), professionalism, cost, and references. We spoke to couples who had them at their wedding and the general consensus was they exceed their expectations. Hands down the best band in the area. If you are looking for a fun time with a band that can play ALL styles of music, you need to hire Grand Central Station

  • DJ
  • Serves Russell, NY

We're a family run entertainment company serving the northeast region for weddings, private parties, and corporate events. We offer exciting solutions with expert attention to details/logistics, and the ability to work with a broad range of budgets, wants, and expectations.

Cannot say enough about what an absolute pleasure it was working with DJs Joe and Chris and photobooth pro Lisa. Joe checked in often to learn more about us as a couple, and encouraged us to submit some of our favorite tunes he could build a playlist around. As the wedding got closer, I honestly forgot to update our list and had no idea what to expect - but TRUST that they knew exactly how to get the crowd onto the dance floor! We opted out of having parent dances and speeches at the reception so it was a dance-heavy party, but Chris and Joe kept the flow going until the very end! As a therapist, I know the energy it takes to keep a crowd cohesive, and these guys have it. Highly, highly recommend!!

There are wedding bands, and then there’s The Hook Club. The minute we heard them at one of their showcase experiences we knew we had found the purveyors of soul and energy that we were looking for. The Hook Club played a major role in making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration. The energy they brought was simply electric and it’s no surprise that we received countless compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had.

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. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

Underfloor MUSIC was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we connected with Kyle, their communication was quick and efficient, which was so helpful as we were navigating a venue change from New York to Massachusetts. The travel fee they charged for the move was very reasonable, and we were thrilled to have them there to keep the energy high all night long. Underfloor MUSIC brought the absolute best energy and kept the dance floor packed the entire celebration.
