Awarded Best of Zola
Austin was an incredible part of our wedding! We hired him to do the ceremony music and I'm so glad that we did. The guests loved it during the before the ceremony and he was so easy to work with when we had a few special request songs not in his repertoire. We had a vision of having my sibling sing one of our favorite songs as I walked down the aisle and Austin worked with them, learning the song, scheduling some practice time and made it happen seamlessly for what was a really incredible moment. I am so happy that we had him as a part of our wedding and would highly recommend him.

Skylark Music

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $800

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
Justin and Jesse played at our wedding in Hudson, NY on 9/3/22. Justin and Jesse played live music during our ceremony, cocktails, and throughout diner. Justin then DJ'ed during the reception. In the months leading up to the wedding Justin was very responsive and kept in touch. He was very easy to work with. We sent him numerous playlists to work with and bounce ideas off of. He made sure to keep the music to songs and vibes we were going for during the reception, could not have asked for more. The live music was absolutely phenomenal. They learned all the songs we asked of them for the ceremony and then worked off of an inspiration playlist during cocktails and diner. The live music was so much fun and gave an amazing ambience to the evening. During diner they played an acoustic cover of Sweet Child O'Mine that was so great the entire reception could not help but watch and everyone ended up clapping which is amazingly rare to happen while people are playing background music. It was an incredible moment. We recommend Skylark Music to anyone who wants a classy, but not stuffy, and very fun live music. These guys are great!

Where to even begin! If you are looking for a fun, creative, flexible, and incredibly talented DJ for any and all events, Justin Raymund is your guy! Not only were my husband and I looking for a particular playlist for our wedding after party, but we were really looking for someone to “get” our style, the vibe, and energy we were going for. My husband being into indie rock and myself being into Y2K abs 90s hits, we had quite the eclectic playlist set. Justin delivered with flying colors and even scheduled multiple phone calls with us to ensure we had the after party playlist of our dreams! He had us complete a questionnaire and then went to work and created a masterpiece play set! He embraced the night, had dancers on the floor until 3:00AM and all around crushed it! Look no further for a top notch, excellent DJ. He knows his music, there’s no question about it. 10 out of 10!

Scott and his team were absolutely everything we wanted in a music vendor! We did a string trio for ceremony, jazz duo for cocktail, pop band for dinner and DJ for dancing. We loved the versatility of options he supplied. From start to finish, Scott helped us pick out the perfect ensemble and fully embraced all of our music preferences. Any time we had a question, he answered it promptly and thoroughly and often called us to discuss -- which was so helpful because he kept us calm and happy throughout the process!

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!

Lucas knows his stuff but also makes a point to know your stuff just as well. He sees the big picture of your wedding day and is beyond generous with his knowledge. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to schedule time with him leading up to the wedding. We had several video calls and he was always calm and confident as we dished him all the stress we could manage. He knew just what to say to ease our tensions with any part of the process and was helpful on all fronts, not just the music. Imagine a young Rick Rubin who’s going to make your day happen through fierce professionalism and calming holistic approach. Day of, Lucas was there early and making sure all the gear was working and problem solving on the scene to make the experience even better than we had talked about. He was able to not only have the music playing through the two large speakers we had planned for outside, but also got it seemlessly hooked up to the speakers throughout the interior space. This was key, because we had to last minute move the whole wedding inside due to rain. It was priceless to see see Lucas problem solving all of that with plenty of time to spare because I had so many other things to worry about with the shifting rain plans. I knew I didn’t have to worry about that whole part of it though, and the quality of the sound throughout the day really smoothed over all of the last minute adjustments and helped make everything feel like it was all part of the plan. It was a perfect day beyond my wildest expectations, and Lucas Walters was a huge part of that.

With a set list of over 300 songs, Johnny can play and sing standards from Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and the Beatles. Adding live music will enhance and enliven your wedding ceremony, party or cocktail hour.

We hired Johnny to play during our Ceremony and for cocktail hour. It was one of the best decisions we made for the day. His music (ukulele and vocals) during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He was on the keys for cocktail hour and entertained with some classics and big-band music (e.g. Frank Sinatra). Hearing that my wife was a big Disney fan during our vows, Johnny switched to a Disney playlist halfway through cocktail hour and it was a HIT! The true sign of an top-notch musician is someone who can read the audience and adapt on the fly. Weeks later, our guests still rave about Johnny and tell us we should have hired him to play longer. (We agree!) Johnny was the ultimate professional throughout the entire process, from planning to the day of. He had a meeting with us to go over our music preferences and work through the flow of the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny for your special day - you'll be glad you do.

Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

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.

Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that booking Vitamin M is the best decision you will make when planning your wedding, I mean it. Not a dash of hyperbole. I've been to a lot of weddings and Vitamin M is by far the best band I've seen. Our expectations were outrageously high and they somehow exceeded them. Each member of the band is exceedingly talented, and when they come together, it's magic. The dance floor was full from the moment they started until the venue was kicking us out of the space! JJ is super easy and professional to work with. He helps curate the playlist based on exactly the vibe you're going for. Not only that, they can read the room and shift things to ensure everyone is having the absolute best time. My mom made a reference to an album in her speech and without missing a beat, that was the first song they played afterward! Book them. Now. And then invite me to your wedding so that I can watch them perform again!

He played everything we wanted to hear and then some. He also stayed for our after party to keep playing and he seemed to be having as much fun as we were. The company itself was so easy to work with and had an online portal for us to put all the songs we wanted to hear and didn’t want to hear. We did not stop dancing all night including my grandma

We booked Mama Juke for our 9/24/2022 wedding and they did not disappoint. I can’t say I wasn’t nervous, as they didn’t have any reviews posted yet, but Jon was very helpful in addressing all our concerns and they kept our guests entertained and dancing all night long! They learned our first dance song- Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves and put their own flair to it, which we loved. They are such a fun mix of rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and played a good mix of songs for all ages. I would also recommend listening to some of their original songs and including them in your day, my husband and I were so happy we did. :) I want to have another wedding just so we can have them play again!

Peter & the Master Keys is not only a great jazz band with vocals, it's also an energetic dance band specializing in the best soul, blues, and rock n' roll from the 50s and 60s plus a few more contemporary numbers to round out the set. Think Sinatra and Nat King Cole early in the night and then Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Elvis and more later on. The idea is to play fun and energetic music that is timeless and can inspire guests of all ages to dance. We also perform as a trio and quartet for smaller occasions or cocktail parties. Packages include ceremony music, MC, jazz cocktail hour, and dance music.

music makes the difference between a normal wedding and an unforgettable wedding. From our first conversation to the last note that the band played, they were truly unforgettable. The first time we talked, Peter told me that his goal was to get everyone dancing, from the youngest to the oldest. All I can say is that all of my nephews spent the entire night on the floor and the grandmother of the bride got up to share a special moment dancing with her grand-daughter. They were nothing short of outstanding, and I can't speak highly enough about them. If you want a group that is talented, easy to work with, and care about their client, then look no further!

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!

he Hook Club is an amazing band that we wholeheartedly recommend. They performed at my daughter's wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau on 3/27/22 and everyone loved them. Dan is a pleasure to work with and made sure the wedding went exactly as planned. The band's vocals are incredible - especially Brianna and LiMarco. The sound of the 10 piece band filled the ballroom of 250 people and the volume was appropriately loud without being deafening. So many of my guests asked for the band's contact information - they are that impressive. If I could give them 10 stars I would- they are the best!!!

Where do I start with Gemma & Luvdup DJs - Gemma was amazing all around! From the very beginning inquiry all the way through the planning process, leading up to the wedding day. I don't think we could have found a better DJ! We were hoping to customize our wedding playlist with songs that we both love, without the standard/stereotypical wedding tunes. Gemma did just that and more! She was super professional, personable, lovely and the list goes on! The music Gemma played made our wedding that much more special - not to mention the lights she brought for the dance floor! It had guests getting down! She also took little video clips throughout the day capturing the most special moments - she went above and beyond. She was so helpful through the planning process, giving suggestions when necessary and was always quick to respond. I can thank Gemma for giving us the best day of our lives - I would absolutely recommend Gemma and Luvdup DJ's to anyone looking for an amazing DJ! Looking forward to staying in touch with Gemma 3

DJ Stiles, aka SkinnyBoy Media, has been serving the couples and corporate clients of NorthEastern Ohio since 2014. With hundreds of weddings, parties and corporate events, SkinnyBoy Media has the knowledge, the equipment, and the look to take your event to the next level!

Tyson and Sam at Skinny Boy Media were one of my favorite vendors at my wedding. It is so so hard to choose a DJ because you've been to other weddings and had trauma from terrible DJ's that play the same old songs that are awful. Or they don't announce things at the right time or just don't communicate. This was my fear. I was recommended Skinny Boy Media from my photographer in Cincy. Then I noticed he was in Cleveland and I am located in South Central Ohio (where there are no good DJ's). I was so nervous that I was going to have a massive upcharge due to travelling 4.5 hours. I reached out and got a quote from him and discussed the type of wedding I wanted with the music and flow of things. He communicated amazing right from the start and was transparent in pricing and had no problem whatsoever travelling to Southern Ohio/Northern KY. Whew! Then I dragged my feet because this is a large decision. The website of DJ's are hard to tell what they are like. It's not like you can go to a wedding they are at and see if you like it, haha! But then as I looked on a Facebook group of Ohio Bride's to Be I noticed his name kept getting referenced. Which was a good hint. Then I talked to him further about uplighting and Photobooth services for the night. I kept delaying again... Then he reached out to me again telling me someone else wanted my date (July 8) if I didn't want it. That sealed the deal and I paid the deposit online. My husband and I completed a detailed form he provided on Google Docs to say what songs we wanted during what time. And what songs we did not want! We had a video chat with him describing ourselves, the vibe we wanted for our wedding, etc. We are 28yrs and wanted a middle school dance party vibe. I also didn't want songs switched every other minute, but transitioned nicely with reading the crowd. I also asked for some Disney songs during dinner. Man did he deliver!!! It was a party!! And he politely communicated with me during the night, asking if I was ready to begin the dances, the speeches, let dinner tables go to the buffet, etc. We also added a game from 4H camp called Bring-Me and he had it organized on his iPad, let my sister run the game on the mic, etc. The photo booth also sent photos to each person and I got a google drive link to all of them. I chose the Ivy wall with props. I did not choose to have a glow light in the photo background, but that is an option. The 30 uplights literally pulled everything together in the long room! (70ft x 30ft). He was on time, stayed till the end as expected. He also helped create a super special memory for my husband and I that I didn't even plan for! At the end (11:30pm) he had everyone go outside or towards the end of the building and he played "At Last" with just my husband and I. It was so perfect to end the night. If you made it this far...I hope I've convinced you to HIRE SKINNY BOY MEDIA!!! He will communicate like you want, provide a clear contract, provide uplights & a photo booth, travel to your venue without complications, keep things running smooth and does a great job!!

If you want to have an amazing dance party at your wedding, book DJ Mariko! She delivered our theme “bangers only” with a creative mix of songs and played a crucial role in giving us our dream wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests, including one who exclaimed “I guess we are going to have to bring DJ Mariko to every party going forward!” She was great to work with from day one - super organized, very professional, prepared for every meeting, and had a great way of getting to know us so she could set the right mood and pace for our wedding. There was never a moment - from the cocktail hour, to the dinner, to the two dance sets, where we weren't delighted with her song choices. She was excellent at reading the room and getting everyone up dancing and kept the energy high all night.

During the pre-wedding planning stage, Ana & Jimmy took the time to get to know us on a personal level and answered all of our questions quickly through emails and zooms. What I loved about the planning stage with them was their ability to incorporate our music suggestions, while also providing feedback on music through their expertise. On the wedding day, they absolutely crushed it!! During our wedding, it was a perfect mix of live and dj entertainment during our reception. They met all of our expectations music-wise and did a phenomenal job of playing music to all generations during the night.

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

Denise is amazing! During our DJ search for our wedding, my (now) husband and I came across Denise very early in our search. And I’m so happy that we did! Faced with the fact that we needed to find someone who would get (and keep) both of our dance-happy families on the dance floor, it was daunting to find the perfect fit for us and for the celebration to follow. We had to rely heavily on reviews to narrow down our search…but that only gets you so far when you want to feel the energy. In a leap of faith, we reached out to Denise. After that first meeting, we never looked back! It was easy to just spend time talking to Denise. She was our hype-lady from day one, working with our schedules from planning to the meticulous execution of the wedding day. She was patient with our indecisiveness on which instrumental version of our procession song we wanted (weeks of samples, back and forth, and for us to ultimately pick the first version she shared). As a planner, I very much appreciated Denise’s attention to detail. She combed through every detail with us well beforehand, so that she didn’t have any questions the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend this Lady DJ enough! She helped make our day so special and effortlessly kept people on the dance floor until the lights came on.

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)
