Wow! DJ Lou exceeded our expectations! When it came to the reception we didn't have to do a thing but the preparation came months before that. We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Complete Weddings Events for our DJ and photo booth. Jade was our DJ and she was OUTSTANDING. She crushed the ceremony music transitions and setting up our audio needs for our officiant and for our speeches. It truly felt like we were partying with an old friend with the way she picked the perfect balance of classic songs, modern faves, and some of the club classics we used to party to in the early 00’s in college. She suggested a final dance song for just us after all our guests left and it was truly the best end to the evening and something we wouldn’t have thought of at all. We’re already trying to find a way to have her DJ another party for us! Katie was our Photo Booth operator and she did an AMAZING job with our guest book and in making sure guests kept taking pictures all night long. We had such an amazing time and the value for the money is unmatched!

Kyle was amazing to work with for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was always professional, quick, and organized. Kyle shared a detailed Google Doc with us to fill in with our personalized timeline of the day and preferences for music and announcements. About a month before the wedding, he scheduled a video call to go through that timeline step by step and to make sure he understood all of our requests. We shared specific songs we wanted for things like walking down the aisle and first dance and were able to share entire playlists of requests for things like music to play during cocktail hour, dinner, and our reception. On the day, Kyle was a rockstar. Everything was set up and ready to go well before our ceremony began. During the ceremony, the audio was excellent. From the volume of the music as we walked down the aisle, to the mics set up for us and our officiant, to the transition into our recessional, all of it was incredible. At the end of cocktail hour, Kyle pulled me aside just to review our entrance into the reception, which helped alleviate some nerves for me! And of course Kyle shined brightest during DANCING! He read the room, kept the energy high, and added in some awesome mixes and transitions that worked so well. We added on the photo booth and printer which was a huge hit! There were two print outs of each photo strip and you could even enter your phone number to get a digital version of the strip plus a video of all 4 photos rotating. This was super helpful especially for sharing large group photos. Kyle also sent us the digital copies of ALL of the photos and videos from the photo booth. We would highly recommend hiring Underfloor Music for your next event!

Close your eyes for a second and picture the middle of your reception. Your song comes on. Your friends are screaming the lyrics. Your parents are on the dance floor. You look at each other and just know that this is exactly how it was supposed to feel. That’s the night you’re planning. You want to be present. You want your people to stay. You want the energy to build instead of fade. And when it’s all said and done, you want to wake up the next morning with a full camera roll and a group chat that won’t stop blowing up. If that’s the kind of night you’re imagining, we're your people and we're rooting for you Let's chat when you feel like it

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the beginning, Wyatt was so easy to work with. He was a quick responder when we had questions, and he really understood our vision for our wedding. His website is user-friendly and the professionalism was unmatched. On our big day, he kept the energy up through cocktail hour, the entrances, first dances, speeches, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Everything went so smooth and we didn't have to worry about a thing. He assured us that he knew how to read the crowd and play the perfect mix of songs to keep the party going, and he was right. All of our guests had such a blast. We received SO many compliments about the music and atmosphere. We also took advantage of Empire State Event's PhotoBooth option and it was a HIT. We chose to get digital copies that were available the night of the wedding, and we got the link to all of the photos the very next day! If you and your fiance are looking for a DJ who’s professional, fun, and truly knows how to keep everyone dancing all night, we highly recommend Wyatt and Empire State Events! My now-husband and I are telling all of our engaged friends to book Wyatt because him and his team are just that good! Thank you for helping to make our wedding so special, Wyatt and team! - Addison and Matt, 1/25/2025 at Brown's Revolution Hall

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

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!

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 from Upbeat Occasions was amazing throughout the whole planning process! She has an incredibly helpful online wedding/music planner to help keep you organized and really give her a vibe of what you like to listen too. She couldn’t have been any easier or nicer to work with! All of our guests loved her! Her transitions from song to song at the ceremony and reception were flawless. We had people on the dance floor all night, which shows how great Caroline was. I cannot say enough amazing things about her! Book her - you won’t regret it!

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Canajoharie, 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.

T.L. Holloway is the best choice we could have made to bring our vision to life on our wedding day!! Steve was so communicative from the start and worked so well with us to make sure he & the team were on our exact same page. We can't say enough wonderful things about their music as well! The songs, the music, the singing, the whole band was fantastic and exemplified the whole vibe we were dreaming of!

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! I have added them to my vendor recommendation sheet and will continue to tell future couples and other vendors about their impressive musical abilities and lovely personalities. They can play everything from classical to Taylor Swift which clients love. Can't wait to work with them again!

Soul Session Edu-tainment, Inc. 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Canajoharie, NY

Soul Session, a high energy musical ensemble that will make you dance, scream, and jump around all night long with entertaining command. Led by "Soulist” Garland Nelson, 2019 Proctor’s Eddies Award Winner "Best R&B Vocalist," Soul Session's emotive style across all genres earned them the distinction of 2024 & 2019 Eddies Award Winners "Best Band in Capital Region NY" and nominee in 2025!

Where do we even begin? We knew our wedding was going to be amazing, but Soul Session made it the best party we’ve ever been to. From the very beginning, Garland took on the role of more than just bandleader — he became a true partner in the planning process. We had no idea what we were doing when it came to wedding planning, but Garland’s experience and genuine care made everything feel easy. He guided us through every step, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, with regular phone calls where he got to know us — not just our music taste, but our story, our personalities, and even the vibe of our families and guests. He literally has weddings down to a science. The ceremony music? Absolutely beautiful — there were tears the moment we heard his voice. The cocktail hour? A perfect, personalized soundtrack. The reception? Unreal. Garland also sang all of our first dances — and it was one of the most emotional, intimate parts of the night. His voice brought so much feeling and made those moments even more unforgettable. It felt personal and live in a way no recording ever could. From the second the wedding party entered, the energy was off the charts. Every single member of Soul Session is so talented — the flow, the vocals, the musicianship, the chemistry — it felt like we were at the most epic concert and the most special celebration of our lives, all in one. Everyone — young, old, and in between — was dancing all night long. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. Some even asked if Garland was a family member because of how connected he was to us and how personally he delivered every moment. He listened so closely to everything we shared in the planning process and wove it all into something unforgettable. Soul Session is pure magic. Garland is a genius. If you want your wedding to feel joyful, emotional, wildly fun, and completely you — hire them. It will be the best decision you make.

Our commitment to excellence ensures every event is tailored to your unique vision, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed from start to finish.

The New York Players were the thing our wedding guests talked about the most! Aside from being absolutely fantastic and putting on a great show, the pre-event communication and planning support really made NYP a great band to work with. We didn't really know going into booking what things needed to be considered when booking our event music, and Mike was so helpful for holding our hands through the planning process. Before the event, Mike helped us plan the logistics, met with us to discuss our goals, and gave us an extensive song list to select music from for the night, as well as adding some songs that we love that were not on the list. The attention to detail and level of care put into the band made feel so fun and special, and took a lot of the stress of wedding planning out of the music planning due to the top-notch professionalism. The band really is amazing, the experience was like being at a live concert where all of your favorite bands are playing all of your favorite songs. I can't recommend booking with the New York Players enough!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

I’m Austin Charnis, a classical, Spanish, and contemporary guitarist specializing in refined live music for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. I perform in a wide range of settings — from intimate ceremonies and vineyards to grand ballrooms and luxury estates — always tailoring the music to the tone and flow of the day. With over 15 years of experience, I handle details before they become stressors, from acoustics and sound setup to timing cues and transitions, ensuring a seamless, polished musical experience.

Austin was absolutely amazing! We hired him about a month out from the wedding after our previous guitarist cancelled on us. Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!
