At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians.

Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sweet Harmony did an exceptional job with live music for my wedding ceremony. However, I must say (Judith-captain of quartet) that Sweet Harmony brought my vision to life through music. The goal was for the wedding ceremony music to tell a story of overcoming trials and tribulations and overcoming all to achieve victory and finding happiness. I can honestly say that the goal was overwhelmingly accomplished by Sweet Harmony and their team of talented musicians. Judith and her team of musicians were artists. Their performance of Goodbye Brother was emotion invoking and endearing. Truly an awe inspiring song brought to life. The Light of Seven was exceptional. The Rains of Castamere performance was strong. Not one dry eye in the wedding ceremony. A masterful and world class performance. My guests were truly entertained and Judith took everyone in attendance on a emotion packed journey. From sorrow and loss to victory and triumph. From overcoming tremendous trials and tribulations with dignity and integrity to finding happiness in family and the love of my life. I can go on and on about Sweet Harmony but all I will say is that my only regret is not being able to listen to every single moment of their performance and to experience the emotional journey they took everyone on. Truly a remarkable experience. Thank you Tara. Thank you Phillip and thank you Judith for everything.

Marcus Ho Dj

5.0

New York, NY
  • DJ

A 16-year veteran of the NYC club scene. I collaborate closely with couples to create their unique musical experiences for themselves and their guests by delivering a Sophisticated Savoire-Faire of seamlessly blended hits from past decades to what's currently in vogue; citing T-40 Dance, House, IndiePop/Rock, Nu-Disko, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Crossover Reggae and Crossover Latin as some of my favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me tell you why Marcus is THE DJ of all wedding DJ's: 1. Timely and Responsive: There wasn't even a hitch in working with Marcus. He is timely in his responses, on time for meetings wedding (even early), and is always professional and courteous. 2. Independent: This is very important. All of our work with Marcus was done before the wedding and after answering a few questions, he flew from there. I saw him working with our caterer, wedding coordinator, friends, and other vendors to make our night special. This is invaluable as you will have a million other things racing in your head wedding day so having a DJ that resolves issues instead of creating them is critical. 3. Kind and Compassionate: Just the nicest guy there is. I must have sounded demanding during different moments during the wedding, but he always responded with kindness and a helpful attitude. Working with him has been nothing short of a complete joy. 4. Good Taste: I will say my wife and I have a truly varied taste in music between the two of us. I go more hip hop, pop, r and b while my wife is more indie, latin, jazz, bossanova. It doesn't matter with Marcus. He will not only accommodate your requests, but the man just has taste. We actually didn't have a dedicated dancing portion of the wedding but he still got people to dance. Enough said. 5. Delivers: Everything that Marcus says he will do, will be done. Follow through is important for a project such as a wedding that has so many moving parts, and knowing Marcus was at the helm with the DJ put our worries to rest.

  • DJ

He’s provided creative services and musical direction for weddings, international conferences, corporate events, retreats, films, some of the world's most beloved nightclubs, and underground music events and festivals.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucas was recommended to us as "the DJ you want to hire if you want someone you can trust to keep your dance floor full and to read the crowd to keep your party going," which immediately appealed to us. We live in Brooklyn, and got married in the Catskills, and found out that Lucas also DJs regularly at some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. From our first contact with Lucas, he was responsive, kind, interested in getting to know us and our taste, and super professional. We connected on a personal level as well as on a musical one. Now, having had Lucas DJ our wedding and supply all of the audio equipment, we can't recommend him highly enough. The audio for our ceremony and speeches worked without a hitch (he also helped to professionally feed our ceremony audio/music into our livestream setup), Lucas knew exactly the right moments to take cues for music, and when the dance party began, he played great music that totally matched our vibe and tastes, and as promised, he kept the dance floor full all night (no small feat, especially because we downsized our wedding to 60 guests). In addition to being an excellent DJ, he's also a great guy to be around, and on your wedding day, it's really nice to feel like you are surrounded by people you want to spend time with. Multiple people came up to us to ask about Lucas during and after our wedding, because he was that exceptional. Hire him and you will be so glad you did! Couldn't ask for more in a DJ.

I booked their services for my wedding, and it became a movie. Everybody was dancing, and nobody wanted to sit down. My guests missed their salads and opening foods. They had to make an announcement for the party to stop just to feed us the entree. My wedding is still talked about to this day.

The Brooklyn Beats

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

The Brooklyn Beats is the inaugural event/wedding band founded by music industry veteran, Jon Shiffman. Jon is best known for his live work as a drummer for Grammy winner Jack Antonoff in the bands Steel Train and Bleachers. He has toured all over the world and his drumming can be heard on various National TV Commercials, and is featured in the 2024 release of Paramount Pictures’ Mean Girls movie. Since even before leaving the touring life in 2015, Jon has been a fixture in the New York private event/wedding band scene and has been a drummer, band leader, talent booker and event producer for the biggest agencies and bands in the area.

Do not sleep on booking The Brooklyn Beats! I’m positive this will be the most popular wedding band in NYC very soon! I was a big fan of Jon’s old band, Steel Train, and also saw him play drums when he was with Bleachers in 2015. Since then I’ve followed him on social media and when I heard he started his own wedding/event band, I couldn’t believe it lined up with me looking for a band for our big day! We debated a DJ versus a live band—but wow a live band is the way to go. They play every style of music which has everyone from your older relatives to your youngest friends singing and dancing for the ENTIRE night. The talent is unreal and the energy of a live band brings a night to a new level. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing.

Sound Image has now made 5 weddings in my family such nights to remember!! We just keep coming back because it is no question! On my own wedding night they put on a concert and the party did not stop. The communication from the first call to going over our entire wedding the week before was top notch and professional. They did everything and more! music while we walked down the aisle, walk out music into the reception, it was a dream come true the entire night. We keep getting rave reviews weeks after! They made it truly even better than we could've imagined- we couldn't be more thankful, Carmine and Russ I cannot thank you enough for the spectacular show you put on for us.

First off we planned our wedding in about two weeks, and when we originally began we hadn’t thought twice about having music until my husbands mother gave us the suggestion. We are super low key people and were unsure if a musician would fit the vibe, but when we found Austin we knew right away he was the perfect addition to our little elopement / micro wedding. He was so kind and flexible and easy to reach. He made us so comfortable. We got to choose our own set of songs and when they would be played, and let me tell you it made the day even more magical. Hearing Moon River while we read our vows to each other absolutely melted my heart and made me cry even harder than I already was! Thank you l, Austin, for being a part of our day.

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
Skylark played live music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and we also used them as our reception DJ. Planning a wedding, even a small one like ours, can be stressful, but Skylark made the process so easy.Leading up to our wedding they were super helpful, communicative and responsive, making sure that we were prepared. They played our ceremony and recession songs beautifully, and even helped us figure out the best point in the song to start walking down the aisle. The live cocktail hour music was also great: it was tasteful, classy, fun and incorporated our song requests. After cocktail hour Justin stuck around and Dj’ed the wedding, he did a great job of matching the vibe of the crowd - even though we had a small intimate wedding with no dance floor, many people got out and started dancing! Would highly recommend working with Skylark - they make the process fun and easy and their love and knowledge of music truly shows!

Awarded Best of Zola
Brennan and Cooper Union were the defining feature of our wedding (other than our love, of course). Cooper Union is not a wedding band, they are a full-scale production extravaganza. Motown, pop, soul, rock & roll—they do it all and they’re doing it WELL. The sound is BIG. I’m glad we got the full band—3 vocalists, full horns section (literally could not imagine going without). Aside from his incredible on-stage presence, Brennan was an absolute dream to work with — personable, kind, funny, and passionate. I felt like we were old friends from the moment we first spoke on the phone. Cooper Union made our wedding unforgettable. I am not exaggerating when I say I danced the whole time. They even covered an electronic song to perfection for our first dance. If you’re like me, and wedding planning is not your favorite, and you want to tick a box off the list, look no further—you can’t go wrong. Best decision you will make.

Awarded Best of Zola
We first encountered The Last Nites at one of my best friend's weddings in 2022 and knew immediately we had to have them perform for our reception as well. Communication with Waylan leading up to the wedding was seamless. He was responsive, attentive, and genuinely invested in understanding our preferences and the overall vibe we wanted for our celebration. Something that really stood out to us was the band's willingness to learn new songs for the occasion. The Last Nites were able to learn three specific songs for us and seamlessly incorporated them into their setlist. The level of dedication they showed in perfecting these songs added a personal touch to our reception that we will always cherish. Overall, the band just brought such incredible vibes to the reception. The energy they exuded was infectious, and our guests were on their feet the whole night because of it. 10/10 would recommend, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!!

Big Ric and his band made our son’s wedding an awesome and memorable celebration. In addition to having very talented musicians and vocalists, they played the perfect tunes to keep everyone on the dance floor. They were outstanding from start to finish. Big Ric, the bandleader, displayed tremendous enthusiasm and command of the flow of the party. He had a real big personality and knows how to get everyone involved and up having fun. They are a big sound band with a strong horns section and excellent women vocalists. All I heard all night was how great the wedding was and that Big Ric’s band was the best they have heard. My advice is to keep doing what you do…. I highly recommend Big Ric Rising, especially if you want your guests to have an awesome time at your wedding!

How do we coordinate our wedding timeline with the band or DJ in New York City?

Communication is key. Your band or DJ should be in sync with your wedding day schedule, hitting the right notes at the right moments.
