I recently had the pleasure of working with Kellie, who truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was a master of her work and had a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences and we HAD to work with her. During the planning stages, Kellie's attentiveness and helpfulness were outstanding. She regularly checked in with us to ensure that all the details were in place and that our vision for the wedding was being brought to life. Kellie provided us with an abundance of planning resources, from vendor recommendations to an incredible Excel doc with every planning resource you could need (we’re talking budget sheets, guest list tracker, packing lists, day-of timelines, etc), which made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. For every question or concern I had, Kellie had an answer. On the day of the wedding, I am speechless for how smoothly Kellie ran the show. From start to finish, her ability to juggle multiple tasks (and people) while remaining calm and composed was truly remarkable. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Kellie had everything under control. What struck us the most about Kellie was her kind and caring nature. She genuinely cared about us as a couple and went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her dedication to making our dreams come true was evident in every aspect of the wedding. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism were second to none. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every element of the wedding was executed flawlessly. We cannot express enough gratitude to Kellie for her invaluable contributions to our special day. Without her expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the incredible event that it was. Kellie is truly one of a kind, and her passion for creating unforgettable experiences shines through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their dreams come true.

We hired Liz to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. What we ended up getting was a full fledge package of a wedding planner, Roast Master, DJ, Master of Ceremonies, and the most generous person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only did she make sure that everything we asked for went more than perfect. She also took control and made sure our beach front wedding was hooked up with microphones and music so everyone could here our vows and be a part of the most special day of our lives. She is a FULL PACKAGE and she is worth 5x’s more than she charges. I can honestly say that she was the main reason our wedding was so memorable. It’s been 8 years and I still have friends making comments on how much fun and excite of the whole event was. When my wife and I renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Liz will not be hired to work the event. She will be attending as a guest. She literally turned into part of our family and is loved dearly by my wife and I.

​If someone asked me nicely to go dance my heart out in 90 degree heat, I would probably refuse. If someone tried to bribe me to get out on the floor in near tropical levels of humidity and sweltering, oppressive temperatures, it would take a hefty sum. And yet, twice now I have seen Jeremy get not just me, but over one hundred people to move our feet to the expertly curated beats and harmonies, ignoring the heat in what were inarguably the best dance parties I have had the joy of participating in. My wife discovered Jeremy after I struck out in my search to find adequate music for our wedding. After wading through a sea of ridiculous quotes, flaky DJ's, and logistical nightmares involving the transportation of bands, I gave up entirely. So when my wife explained that she had found a DJ with extremely reasonable rates and fantastic reviews, I was in disbelief. But then, she played for me a sample mix that Jeremy had put together for a HIIT class and it was pure musical magnificence. We hired him soon after. Jeremy was prompt and polite in communications, knowledgeable, unforgettably friendly, and above all else the master of the party's vibe. He managed to blend Beyonce with MGMT, he got my grandmother dancing to N'Sync, I can't overstate how much fun we had. When we remember our wedding with friends and families, the music is everyone's highlight. I cannot recommend Jeremy highly enough. - Nic My partner and I were looking for a DJ for our wedding. This was a new experience for me, but Jeremy made it incredibly easy. He was organized, incredibly friendly, and even provided a survey to better understand our music tastes as well as our vision for the event. At the wedding reception, he did such a fantastic job bringing the energy, masterfully transitioning between songs, and matching our music tastes. In an incredibly sweaty barn, he got the whole group jumping and singing and bopping around (the photos from that party are.. too wild to share). The following year, my sister and her fiance knew exactly who to call for their wedding. Highly recommend 10/10. - Sharon

Our neighbors recommended Bachelor Boys Band to us when we were planning our wedding (they hired them for all THREE of their kids weddings). We reached out to them and right away they were excited to work with us. We had a super unconventional wedding location (SportRock Climbing Center) and that meant we needed a b and that could fill a giant place with music and entertainment. For the ceremony, they set up a PA for the officiant (15 feet in the air) and we had an acoustic guitar play while we walked down the isle... During the reception 5 musicians performed and they made sure everyone had a great time! They even pulled me aside to tell me how much they enjoyed my wedding, which is SO sweet! I just really loved having them as part of my special day!

He is the best dj ever! Our wedding/reception was epic thanks to him! We had a destination wedding and everything went so smoothly. He was there early to set up, kept in contact with me every step of the way, answered all my questions and I couldn’t recommend him enough! Everyone kept telling me how they never went to such a fun wedding where the entire crowd was dancing from beginning to end but it’s because of him. He played the best music and kept the crowd dancing from the very beginning to the very end (literally)!

We couldn't have been happier with our MyDeejay experience. From the first call with Jeff Furnas, we thought he was perfect! He understood our vibe and was very communicative in the months leading up to the wedding. He even mixed our first dance songs well before, probably about five months ahead of the wedding when I asked! Jeff truly went above and beyond for us. His equipment worked so well even though we had sound playing throughout a few separate rooms of the venue, and went to a separate room for the toasts. His vibe reading and announcing was personable and really picked up on the vibe of the night and the guests' energy. I couldn't recommend Jeff Furnas enough!

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!

Matt and Karese have been so helpful through the planning process. From the moment we booked even until after our wedding they made sure we had a great experience. I can go on and on about why you should book them but one thing that stands out more than the rest to me is on the day of our wedding, Matt noticed our crowd liked to be outside rather than inside where he originally had setup. Recognizing that, he asked us if we would be ok (after the formalities finished) if he moved his set outside to better serve our guests. Of course we said yes and it took him 5 minutes to switch locations mid wedding and nobody even noticed because he had music playing on a speaker inside the whole time he moved his stuff. Bow Tied Weddings definitely goes above and beyond for their couples! I recommend booking them for any event!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C

Astoria, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA for additional fees

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art
