I worked with DJ double E at a wedding last October. It was a very small intimate wedding. The crowd was older and didn’t feel much like dancing. The DJ crew still gave it their all to get the crowd going. They were out on the dance floor with the 5 people willing to dance showing them dance moves to songs the crowd didn’t know. They were extremely personable and professional. Their equipment had beautiful covers so that they looked nice and blended right in with the wedding decor, rather than staring at poles and wires. Would absolutely recommend to future weddings and events.

Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always been about bringing people's visions to life, whether it be producing artists', taking an amazing story and turning it into music, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. I'd love to get to know both of you and your story, and help create memories with music. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough good things about Anthony. I truly feel I was lucky to find him for so many reasons. Not only is he very diligent when responding to emails and phone calls. But truly the main thing I loved about working with him was that his energy was exactly what a nervous bride needs — calm and reassuring, while still displaying so much enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. Music was super important to my husband and I’s relationship so I was happy to know how talented Anthony is. He is able to cover a huge repertoire of music but also took it upon himself to learn a few songs I requested as a special dedication for my husband-to-be. Everyone at our wedding raved about him and kept telling me they even felt his sound was better than some of the original artists’ songs he was covering. My cocktail hour was the exact vibe I envisioned— so dreamy and I’ll never forget it. All thanks to Anthony!

Upbeat Occasions

Schoharie, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,599

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

Caroline was the DJ at my wedding in the beginning of august and the whole entire process from meeting her the first time, to building the playlist, to the final meeting and big day, was so easy and fun! She always checked In with us to see if we had any questions along the way and how we were feeling. Throughout the event she would check in and ask questions to make sure we were okay with guest requests and other things that were going on. I couldn’t suggest a better DJ. The music was everything we hoped for and more. Do not hesitate to have Caroline/upbeat occasions for your wedding. You will not regret!!

Giuseppe at Love of Music Entertainment absolutely KILLED the DJ game. Every single one of my guests keep saying how incredible the DJ was. We were on the dance floor ALL night and he continued to hit every kind of music we needed. We also had some unique selections from the ceremony including personally sourced live music. Giuseppe was easy going, organized, professional, and really understood the vibe we were going for. Do yourself a favor and stop looking for the right DJ - Giuseppe is IT! Not to mention - we added a percussionist who Giuseppe brought that was hilarious and really added to the live feel.

Scott was the DJ at our friends wedding and we emailed him immediately after to DJ at our own. From start to finish, Scott was professional, responsive, and FUN. We only gave him a few “must plays” and he created an entire wedding playlist off of these, and it was perfect. He was easy to work with, always quick to respond, and was willing to travel for our wedding. We had guests complimenting us on the music all night. We loved Scott and highly recommend him!!

T. L. Holloway

Schenectady, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

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
We highly recommend TL Holloway for your live jazz band! Steve, John and Peter were such an important part of making our big day so special. They were so easy to work with the months leading up to it and very flexible with our non traditional ceremony songs!

I worked with Bridie and Olivia this past summer at our mutual client's wedding. They were on time, professional, easy to work with and overall a joy! They asked all the right questions leading up to the ceremony and were on point once we began. From a vendors perspective, they were all you can ask for!

  • Starts at $2,500

NSM DJs spin live mixes at your event, with seamless transitions and expert blends. We’ve worked to build a reputation around a style that is fun, classy and memorable. That’s how we roll.

We are so happy to have found DJ Anthony B from NonStop Music for our wedding this past June 17th and would highly recommend him to any future bride and groom (or for any event)! My now husband and I are musicians, so we spent a lot of time researching DJs and debating what kind of DJ we wanted. As soon as we had the first meeting with Anthony (after listening to hours of his remixes), we knew he was the one. He listened to every need and concern we had regarding wedding music and DJs in general, and flat-out blew us away with his talent. His musicianship truly shows in his ability to get all of the guests out on the dance floor, no matter their age. Our guests are still raving about how good the music was more than a week after our wedding and how they have never danced so much at a wedding before (including our wedding coordinator)! He was able to take the classic wedding songs and put a nice spin on them so that it kept the original sound, but also added something new and special. He also took our wide, eclectic style of music and remixed oldies and rock with tech house and pop. Thank you for the Zedd remix and for our first dance song rendition! DJ Anthony was just the right amount of involved with the crowd, coming out to dance with us a few times, but also not over-involved. He was extremely professional and created a great atmosphere for our special day! This was one of our hardest vendors to choose, but also our most rewarding choice. We are looking forward to hiring him again for the next big life event, and really appreciate all of the hard work he did for us before the wedding and during the most special day of our lives! Thank you DJ Anthony. You really made our wedding (sound) incredible! -The Claffeys 3

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!

It's never easy to keep people on the dance floor when you a have a less than vibrant enthusiastic crowd. So to say Justin killed it on this wedding is an understatement.

Let me begin by telling you how to find a better DJ than Dave/Fish: Dream about it, because it will never actually happen. We ended our professional relationship wanting to take him home with us! I was making a joke the whole time that if there were a Ph.D in DJ'ing, he'd have it with honors. Professional, courteous, friendly, precise, clearly loves his job, respectful, selfless, 38 years experience, genuine, communicative, and very helpful beyond his job parameters. i.e. he made sure we had our champagne prior to the toast by summoning a waitress himself. He insisted we get our food first. Things like that. We had a very precise playlist for him down to the note and he adhered to it 110% without question. We felt very lucky to have stumbled on him the way we did and would honestly say you are doing yourself a disservice by not hiring him. Kudos, Dave and thanks again. It was an absolute pleasure as we consider you more of a guest than a hired hand in our minds.

We knew we needed to hire Lucas after our first call with him. He immediately understood the disco-funk music style we wanted at our wedding and his enthusiastic energy was contagious. I had told a friend of mine in the NYC music scene that we hired Lucas and he said that he is the best and we were in good hands. He was absolutely right. Lucas knows how to control the dance floor! 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. Everyone was feeling the music, from our 11-year-old cousin to our 80-year-old aunts. People were pulling out some impressive moves that I'm not sure they knew they had. I even crowd surfed! Definitely hire Lucas if you want your wedding to be an epic dance party. You won't regret it.

DJ Lou Paris

Kingston, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

DJ Lou Paris is a Wedding DJ out of the Hudson Valley area of NY, providing an extraordinary service to my clients. From gathering all the important information about your wedding in detail to having emergency plans in place to make sure there are no interruptions. I go the extra mile in everything that is done.

If you book Lou, you will not regret it. There is no one better at this job - he exceeded all of our expectations. Throughout the entire process, from start to finish, Lou made us confident that everything was in good hands and under control. He was proactive, organized, and professional, and made us breathe easier every time we spoke with him. Lou is a rare breed - he takes his role in your memorable day very seriously, but he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s an expert at what he does, and clearly enjoys it, but he was always approachable and ego-less, offering his advice when we needed it and always being incredibly responsive when we had a question for him. He makes sure your day is about you and not about him (which is more than I can say about a lot of other DJs I’ve seen!). We didn’t have a wedding planner but Lou was the closest to that - he truly was with us every step of the way, offering guidance on matters both inside and outside of his paid purview - in a manner that was above and beyond what we could have expected or hoped for. Most people that are about to get married haven’t planned a wedding before and likely won’t again and Lou was an absolute fount of knowledge and a reassuring presence. As for the event itself: Lou was totally self-sufficient, the set up was completely seamless and the song selection and pacing were absolutely immaculate. Lou had to set up equipment in three separate places day-of and we were none the wiser about all the work that went into that - he handled it entirely directly with the venue. Lou handled the audio and music for the ceremony in a forest grove that was without cell reception or WiFi. You could hear every word perfectly. He equipped our officiant with a hands-free microphone of the same model Beyonce used in her last tour! He also recorded the audio for us, then coordinated with our friend who video-ed the ceremony, so that we have a crystal clear, crisp recording of our ceremony, which was very personal and central to our day. We’ve already watched it many times and cannot imagine not having it to rewatch. We still get compliments on Lou’s reception set to this day, now 10 months removed from our wedding. We had told Lou how important a lively dance floor was to us - and boy did he deliver. Our dance floor was sensational. We’ve been to many weddings since ours that had a live band (pricey!) and a far inferior dance floor. We really loved how eclectic and unexpected the playlist was and so did everyone else (Avril, Bowling for Soup, Sum 41 - just classics that I wouldn't have thought of but were so fun to dance to). We get a kick out of looking back at the reception footage and seeing our friends and family all mixed in together singing their hearts out on the dance floor. Lou surprised us after with a little highlight reel video of the dance floor - above and beyond. The man truly loves music and it shows in every aspect of his craft. He took the time to truly understand our eclectic musical tastes and blend them seamlessly. We cannot recommend Lou strongly enough, and we offer him as an unsolicited suggestion at the very mention of a friend planning a wedding in the tri-state area. For the full service that he offers, Lou is an incredible deal.

Living Jade was the best decision we made for our wedding vendors. They played at our engagement party in Santa Barbara and our actual wedding in San Francisco. Steve encountered an issue with a band member. The singer got sick the day before the wedding, but he found a replacement that was outstanding. His network of musicians allowed him to resolve a major issue. My husband and I were happy that our contract was respected. On top of that, the energy of the band was amazing on stage. We were so happy that our guests were all on the dance floor. I never sweat so much on a dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dylan was so awesome to work with, and took the stress out of picking songs for my wedding! We were even lucky enough to coordinate a private last dance to one of our favorite songs, AND the most HYPE last dance to "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. All of my guests loved the music he played throughout the night. There was a healthy mix of oldies and newbies, some of my personal favorites, and a few surprises. I was dancing all night long with my loved ones. Searching for a DJ was hard, because I didn't quite know how to go about it. From the beginning, I was clear that I was having a Greek Orthodox wedding, and during the reception we do a few traditional dances. When Dylan told me he had experience working Greek weddings, I was thrilled! Dylan will work with you to make sure your night is memorable from start to finish. I highly recommend Real Memories Forever for your wedding!

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of working alongside Style Points DJs this summer, and it was such a fun experience! Not only did they keep the dance floor packed during the reception, but they also handle unique aspects of this particular wedding so professionally (ie: a violinist and an aerial hoop artist). Their playlist incorporated songs for all guests to enjoy, and the audio throughout the day, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, was crystal clear. I would highly recommend Style Points DJs to any couple who is looking for an energetic, yet professional duo.

Awarded Best of Zola
Soundz Amazing was so great for us to work with at our wedding reception! We got married in 2021 but due to covid we did not have any of our friends and family with us to celebrate. When we were able to have our reception in 2022 we worked with Mike and he was so responsive. Our reception was very non-traditional as we did not do any type of ceremony, first dances, wedding party, or formalities that are typically associated with weddings. Mike was so flexible and worked with us to create the exact atmosphere that we hoped for. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony Mike met with us multiple times and asked us questions that we hadn't even thought to consider. He was so helpful throughout every step and definitely decreased the amount of stress we were feeling. We had guests request songs through the RSVP feature on Zola and then sent them over before the ceremony, and Mike made sure to play all of them, and used our own personal requests to set the tone for the night. We were nervous about having a DJ that wouldn't take our preferences into consideration but that was not the case at all, I absolutely recommend Soundz Amazing DJ Services for your events!

SDR Weddings & Events was a LIFESAVER for my wedding day!! I had a backyard wedding and I was worried that my guests would still have an amazing time. Hiring them was the best decision I made because not only was the dance floor (our deck, lol) full of all my guests having an amazing time, but the photos are AWESOME and all of my guests raved about how much fun they had. People literally said it was the best wedding they ever went to. I couldn't be happier. They were so amazing in the process of planning too, giving me advice on the best times to do certain formalities at the reception. Being a wedding photographer myself, I see a lot of DJs, but no one compares to these guys in my opinion. I recommend them to all of my clients. I can't wait to have a vow renewal so I have the opportunity to hire them again!!

As the couple getting married, I'm so sorry we did not get as much time to enjoy The Poor Cousins as our guests did. They were wonderful. We asked them to play our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I also asked if they would be able to play a cover of a song that was not in their repertoire for our processional, and they absolutely did. They were very sweet and professional, and we would absolutely recommend them for bookings.

I am a photographer who has been working with DJ Maxx Saint since 2016. Since then, we've covered countless events together- from Weddings to Sweet 16s. He is my #1 go-to DJ whenever I have a client ask for a DJ recommendation. There are many things I love about working with DJ Maxx, but one that sticks out is that as a photographer, he makes my job easier. The reason is because at a DJ Maxx party, he always has everyone dancing and smiling so it makes capturing candid happy moments a breeze. Another reason DJ Maxx is different from other DJ's is that DJ Maxx takes music requests from guests. This is different from other DJ's who only want to play what THEY want to hear, as opposed to what the crowd wants. DJ Maxx also uses the best equipment and uses them appropriately. One thing that annoys me is covering an event in which the music is TOO LOUD. I know many guests feel this way also because they can't talk to each other. DJ Maxx plays music at a great balance in which you can enjoy the music, but also allows the guests to catch up with each other. If you want a dance party where you'll have all your guests dancing all night, there's no better DJ out there than DJ Maxx Saint!

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.

Ryan was truly the whole package. When we were originally pricing out DJs for our wedding, we were a little shocked by how much they are. However, music is very important to both of us, and we had heard enough negative stories from friends and acquaintances that we knew it was important to find a quality DJ. Ryan was recommended to us by an old classmate, and from our first meeting we knew we wanted him to do our wedding. Ryan is so personable, so attentive, and he makes you feel like you're the only/most important wedding he's doing (while still exuding confidence and experience). We had a great many long Zoom calls with Ryan (we were planning our wedding from across the country) and he thought of things we would never have thought of in a million years. On the day of, Ryan made sure everything went seamlessly. He was the most incredible emcee and DJ, and all our friends commented on what a great job he did curating an atmosphere.

enjoy! has been providing live music for all styles of events for close to 20 years along the Jersey Shore. The band has performed over 300 weddings in it's tenure and has carved out a unique niche in providing powerful performances for the live music lover.

We first saw Enjoy! playing a show at one of our favorite local bars the summer before our wedding and after a few songs, we knew they would be our perfect wedding band. Not only are all of the members extremely talented, but they played an awesome combination of songs that we love dearly from artists like Phish, Jimi Hendrix & Talking Heads. Once we met John and the rest of the band, we knew their personalities meshed so well with ours and it was the perfect match. They were extremely easy to work with when we planned out our song list and gave us great recommendations. When it came to the actual wedding day we were blown away! Not only did they do an awesome job on the songs we requested, they added some more that they felt would keep the party going. We still get comments on how awesome our band was to this day. We could not have picked a better group of guys and we highly recommend them to anyone who wants their music to make their wedding! And added bonus: they are great guys - a ton of fun! Any time we get the chance, we go and see their shows. Thank you guys!!!! You are the best.

We’ve even become friends with several members of the band after we started working with them. We had envisioned classical strings during our ceremony, a jazzy upbeat vibe during cocktail hour, and a bumping dance party during the reception. The Hook Club was able make that all come true with their amazing cast of skilled musicians.

I had a non traditional wedding of sorts, no wedding march, and a bunch of moody disco vibes during cocktail hour. I sent Zach one of my favorite Spotify playlists and he created the vibe I was looking for. Initially I didn’t have a song picked out for my processional, he was able to help me pick something that matched the overall feel of the event, laid back, intimate, and funky. With my permission, he even branched out to other genres during the reception and I was having so much fun dancing I didn’t sit down the entire night. My guests had a blast, and he was a pleasure to work with. Zach was responsive to all of our email communication, timely and professional at the event, he didn’t need any assistance setting himself up, and he also worked to mic up some guests for speeches.
