One of our best vendors! Anders was very organized and easy to work with. We also hired Ben to play the violin for our ceremony, and had live music for our cocktail hour and DJ for dinner and dancing. The live music was unique and beautiful. For DJing, he stuck to our do not play and must play list exactly, and understood the vibe we were going for. Cannot recommend enough!!!
Anders was incredible to work with. Multiple guests came up to us to comment on how great Anders was during the live music portion of the night. He was super collaborative and was open to guests suggesting songs throughout the night. He also read the room to make sure guests were liking the DJed music (everyone already was loving the music vibe!) Anders was a pleasure to work with - we didn’t have to think about logistics or anything, Anders had it handled. Would recommend!!
We had Anders, Ben and Angella for our wedding this May and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!! Anders was great to work with from the beginning. Very communicative and friendly. He made the process a breeze. Our guests LOVED the live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour, it was such a special touch. For our reception we had them DJ and they crushed it! Anders is a preferred vendor for Terrain and we can see why! We would absolutely recommend the trio for your wedding and are so grateful they were a part of our big day!! Thank you Anders!!
Anders Hyatt did a fantastic job as a DJ at our wedding. Not only was he professional and responsive, but he was extremely flexible when rain forced us to change up the plans at the last minute. Overall, he was a pleasure to work with, including all of our songs and intros into the evening, and keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. Looking for the best wedding DJ? Anders Hyatt is your man 💯 . . . .
We could not say enough wonderful things about Anders and Bronwyn Beth (violin). For our wedding day, we had live music played before / during the ceremony and cocktail hour, with a transition to Anders being the Emcee/ DJ for the reception. Anders has such a wide variety of songs in his live repertoire, and the live music was all beautifully done. For the reception, Anders kept the dance floor going strong all night - the dance floor was never empty! We are so happy Anders was able to be a part of our day, and we could not recommend him more highly!
Anders Hyatt was the perfect choice for our Wedding Day. He is professional and communicative with ironing out all details leading up to the big day. During our Wedding, Anders and his associate musician, Ben, were awesome! They did live cover music for cocktail hour / Dinner and DJ’d later in the evening. If you are looking for a hybrid of Live Music and DJ, Anders would be my recommendation. 10/10!
We were lucky enough to have Anders, Ben & Angela for our wedding at the BOK Building in Philadelphia. This was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. We received a lot of compliments on their behalf about how wonderful the music was throughout the day. If I could give more stars I would!
This was their first time playing and DJing at the venue, which involved using three different spaces, transitioning from inside to outside and vice versa…yet you never would have known – everything went smoothly and was truly perfect! First they played live for our ceremony in the auditorium. When the doors opened for me to walk down the aisle, I almost didn't make it because the song they were playing sounded so beautiful. After the ceremony, they were set up on the BOK bar rooftop for our first dance and cocktail hour. They learned a new song for our first dance which was truly so special!! After our cocktail hour, they were set up to DJ the rest of the evening in the BOK gym. Needless to say, not only were they fabulous musicians and singers, but also fabulous DJs. They played all of our favorite songs for dinner and the dance floor was packed the whole night.
We were also fortunate enough to use Anders' new lighting fixtures. The uplighting he set up absolutely transformed the gym into the most magical space for our reception. The lighting changed throughout the night and really set the tone. I tried to include pictures that capture just how insanely beautiful and fun the lighting was as it evolved throughout the night. I am SO glad we were able to add that to our package – can't recommend it enough.
If you want to work with someone who is incredibly kind and thoughtful – PICK ANDERS. He will ensure your wedding day is filled with true magic through the power music (and lighting!).
It was with great honor having Anders and Angella at our wedding!
Thank you for learning our song request for our first dance - it will always hold a special place in our hearts. We love music - having Anders and Angella beautiful harmonies will live within us for many years. Anders was very easy to communicative via email and has a great repertoire of live music. They are the perfect blend of live and DJing/MCing services - we are extremely grateful to have the dynamic duo at our wedding!
Anders was such a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire wedding experience, but most importantly of all, his music is amazing. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they loved Anders and Ben, and they played live dance music and DJ'ed throughout our event. Some of our favorite memories were everyone dancing to the live music, it was fantastic. We can't wait to have another event where we can have Anders come back! And not to mention that he is fabulous and so professional to deal with, we really left the music planning to him, and enjoyed all of it!
We hired Anders to be our DJ for all parts of our wedding, and could not be happier! He did a fantastic job executing all of our requests, and was overall just so easy to work with. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!
Picking music for our wedding was one of the most difficult planning decisions we had to make, and we are so grateful that we found Anders. He is a brilliant musician and made our wedding day feel so special, from his acoustic covers during our ceremony and cocktail hour, to his amazing DJ skills during our reception that got everyone on the dance floor. Working with him was so easy, and he was open to receiving our music requests and learning our (somewhat eclectic) tastes to curate a truly perfect setlist for the entire wedding. He was flexible with our needs, professional, and most importantly, so incredibly talented. He even took the time to learn a new song for our first dance. It has been 2+ weeks since our wedding date and we continue to hear from guests who were so impressed by him - so much so that people broke out into a sing-along in the middle of dinner. Anders made everything from our first meeting to the wedding day so easy, and his talent as a singer and DJ helped to make our day perfect.
Anders was very professional and great at communicating throughout the planning process. The Anders and Ben duo exceeded our expectations! They truly care about their work and everything was spot on… from the ceremony to the dinner music and dancing. We loved the acoustic closing and they even learned a Tom Petty song just for us! Highly recommend!
We couldn’t haven’t picked a better duo to perform at our wedding at Terrain Gardens -DelVal. Anders and Ben were amazing from start to finish. We loved the combination of live music for our ceremony/cocktail hour and DJing for our reception. They were receptive to all of our personal requests and gave feedback and recommendations to help the night run smoothly. When they performed our first dance song, my husband whispered to me “this is the best version of this song I have ever heard.” Our guests loved them, we loved them. Just perfect, we could not recommend them more!
We hired Anders based on a venue recommendation from Terrain Yards in Devon, Pa and couldn’t have been happier with our selection. We received many guest compliments on Anders’s DJing, acoustic set, and demeanor as a person. He was our favorite vendor to work with, always had a smile on his face and an easy going, approachable attitude. Somehow Anders blended classic rock and modern hip hop music to keep both us and our older guests happy and on the dance floor. His rendition of my processional song was so good, my husband said he forgot it wasn’t the artist singing. We’d highly recommend Anders to anyone in the area he covers.
If you are thinking about having live music at your wedding Anders is exactly who you need! Not only were we blown away by him, but our guests were absolutely enthralled by Anders' talent! They continuously kept forgetting that there was live music and thought it was just an album playing, he is that good! Anders' music fit the exact of our wedding and absolutely gave our wedding the feel we were looking for. Not only is Anders incredibly talented, he is also the nicest ever and a true pleasure to work with!
Played everything we asked for. Great musician. Was also flexible and adaptable to song changes on the fly and music for the event.
Anders was amazing! Great communication, a HUGE song list of music he already has in his repertoire, transparency on song requests and whether he could learn them in time for our wedding or not, flexibility with changes to our song choices, including a very last minute change up to the special dance. A swap of partner AND song moments before the dance was happening that was handled seamlessly by Anders. The best part about Anders is that you can go from live acoustic ceremony music into live festive cocktail hour and dinner music, and transition to DJ seamlessly - he does it all! He took the guesswork out of our music choices and read the crowd easily - adjusting the playlist as the night went on to keep everyone energetic and happy! We booked the trio, and we had an alternate violinist since the regular was not available on our date. The three of them were incredible together. We felt like they truly enjoyed being a part of and a witness to our special day, while simultaneously being a core part of what made it so special to us! Music is such a big part of our lives and we got exactly everything we wanted and more from Anders and the trio! Genuine, lovely people who will be certain to make your wedding a memorable lovely day! We couldn't be happier and I can not recommend this vendor highly enough.
We hired Anders and Ben to play live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour and to DJ for our reception. We are so happy with their work and loved having them as a part of our special day. The pair learned a new song for my ceremony processional, it truly was so special! Anders was also super responsive leading up to the big day when I was making small changes and requests, he was so patient and accommodating! Anders kept the dance floor full with his DJ skills, we are so happy we had him stay to DJ! My only critique is that he could have cut some of the songs short once the crowd was over them, or blend them into the next song sooner. Otherwise, Anders and Ben were a delight and we highly recommend their talents!
Anders perfectly performed live music on the day of our wedding for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner all the way through first dances. It is hard for me to count the number of compliments and requests for Anders' contact information I received throughout the night. This speaks to how amazing Anders was with his song selections, musical abilities, and awareness of what our guests liked and disliked.
Anders then switched over to a DJ for the rest of the reception. He played almost every song we gave him from our planning meetings and threw in songs he knew would get the guests up and dancing. 10/10 would recommend!!!
Anders (who performed with Angella for our wedding) was fantastic to work with! He was extremely professional and on top of the entire process, helping us have the perfect day. His extensive song list meant that we - and our guests - heard our favorite songs all night. Anders went above and beyond for us. He recorded a truncated version of our first dance song so we could practice our dance and he and Angella learned one of our favorite songs for us too. We are so happy we hired Anders and Angella and couldn't recommend them more highly!
Anders & Ben were the best! So easy to work with leading into the wedding, and absolutely the perfect mix of fun & hype on our big day! They did awesome with a special request/custom song, too - which we are so grateful to have had during our ceremony!
Exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding! Highly recommend!
Anders was truly the BEST - he did all the acoustic music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance and then DJ'd for dinner and the reception. We sent him some examples of songs we'd like to hear throughout the night and he seriously delivered - finding the right time to play each song and doing a great mix of our favorite contemporary hits, our favorite oldies, and other fun songs in between. We had a smallish wedding (80 people) but Anders created the best vibe that kept the dance floor full all evening!
By 5 I mean 10000 stars*!! I could literally not leave a higher review for Anders! He and Ben played live (guitar, violin, piano, vocals) at our December 16th wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and then DJed for the reception and THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Seriously- if you're considering booking them, do it NOW if they are available. I could not be happier that we did, they made our wedding <3
First of all- they are incredibly talented and sounded absolutely amazing. The music during the ceremony was to die for- they even mixed two songs for me walking down the aisle and the timing was perfect and had everyone in tears. They learned & performed our first dance song live and it was beyond well done. They sprinkled in Christmas music throughout and played all of our favorite songs live. When they switched to DJing, everyone was immediately up out of their seats and to the dance floor.. which was filled ALL night. Anders is not only a super talented musician and DJ, but has the kindest positive energy and is super professional and flexible (he was able to add in ad-hoc announcements with ease, and were able to effortlessly move to 4 different locations to suit the space as the night progressed). The last song of the night was beyond epic- everyone spontaneously formed a circle arm-in-arm and me and my husband danced in the middle. The videographer had left so we thought it would just be a memory.. but lo and behold Anders took a video and sent it to us afterwards with a thank you.
Overall, we're just truly blown away by their talent, warm energy, kindness, flexibility and professionalism and could not recommend them more highly. All our guests were beyond impressed. We've already started making jokes that we want to throw a 5 year anniversary party just to hire them again.. THANK YOU, Anders, from the bottom of our hearts!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Anders! We hired Anders for our cocktail hour and wedding reception, and we were so happy we did. Anders was extremely professional, super responsive to any questions, and got our vision perfectly. We meet with Anders virtually ahead of time to to talk through all our plans for the reception and he nailed it! Everything went flawless on the day! Anders played a mix of both live music (which if you haven’t seen him perform you should because he’s fantastic) and also DJ’d. He was super accommodating to make sure he played all the songs we had requested. It was such a fun mix to be able to have both live music and dj’d music for our wedding. It made the night so very special. I’ll always remember all our guests singing along with Anders while he played live music. Such an awesome memory! I would absolutely recommend his services and my wife and I can’t wait to book him again for another event.
Booking Anders for our wedding was probably one of the best decisions we made! He was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish, super pleasant and responsive. He was willing to accommodate our needs and provided exactly what we wanted: beautiful live music with Angella, and excellent song list for DJing. He was also a fabulous MC! Both Anders and Angella were such nice people and brought incredible energy to the party. Everyone loved them! Thank you Anders and Angella for making our special day that much more special :)
We hired Anders, Angella, and Ben for our wedding on 9/25/22. They were, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our wedding and helped set a musical tone for the day that truly felt like “us”. From the start, Anders was warm, responsive, and openly accommodating of all our specific requests (e.g. playing the Greek kalamatiano during the reception, incorporating our own hand-picked playlist during cocktail hour, and learning several new songs for our ceremony and first dance). He and his team are all exceptional musicians and they transitioned seamlessly between live and DJ’d music throughout different portions of the evening. Anders was superb at reading the vibe of the party and playing a variety of music that kept both younger and older guests dancing till midnight - we had multiple people tell us they’d never been to a wedding where the dance floor stayed so consistently full!
Anders is so great to work with! He's super responsive and accommodating, and he makes the planning process really easy. He and Angella played/sang beautifully during our ceremony and cocktail hour. And they brought the party vibes to the dance floor!
We are so happy we found Anders for our wedding! From the first time we reached out to him, Anders was a pleasure to work with and he and Angella did such a wonderful job performing on our wedding day. Anders is friendly, professional and incredibly easy to work with. He was super organized and kept in contact with us leading up to the wedding. All of our requests were perfectly executed and Anders made sure to have us covered on all the things we didn’t even think of so that we didn’t have to worry about anything at all on our wedding day. We booked Anders and Angella to do a mix of live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and as our DJ for the reception and they did great at both! We also requested two songs for our ceremony that weren’t on the music list, Anders learned both and played them beautifully. Throughout the wedding, we had so many of our guests bring up how awesome the music was and we couldn’t have agreed more. We would definitely recommend Anders for your wedding or other events!
Anders and Ben performed live at the ceremony, cocktail hour and the first dance at my daughter's August 2022 wedding at the Lambertville Station, NJ. They were beyond amazing and talented! Then they transformed into the DJs and orchestrated a high energy dance party at the reception.
All through the process of planning ,Anders was professional, kind, available and worked with my daughter to get all her needs met.
Additionally, Anders is very reasonably priced.
I don't write many reviews, but we found them most helpful in the complicated process of planning a wedding. I highly recommend Anders and Ben from start to finish for all of your music needs!
Anders and Angella were amazing! They played all the songs we wanted to hear and were very accommodating to all the requests, also Anders was super responsive on the HoneyBook app would highly recommend!
We hired Anders and Ben to perform at our small wedding in PA. They did such a fantastic job, and Anders was great at communicating with us. We changed a few things the day of, and he was flexible and willing to accommodate our changes. I also liked how they could provide a violin for our ceremony, live performances when we wanted that, and then turn full DJ by the end of the night. I recommend Anders+Ben for any wedding and am so happy we went with them!
Anders was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of musician. We wanted a mix of live music and DJ-ing so Anders checked all the boxes. He was fun, friendly and easy to work with, got to know us using google forms and live meetings to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted (and didn’t want), and was super flexible with all our last minute decisions.
His list of live songs is so great to look through to help with musical ideas and the option for additional musicians is a nice add-on; Angella was a wonderful addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour.
Anders was great at reading the energy in the venue and kept us and our guests entertained all night. He even suggested that he perform our final song of the night live and it really was the perfect way to end the night with a bang. We had so much fun and highly recommend Anders and his musical talents.
Anders was not only a pleasure to work with, he kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! From live music at cocktail hour and in dinner to DJing the party, I couldn’t have asked for better entertainment! My Guests loved him and Angela!
Anders was AMAZING from start to finish. He is a true professional and so talented. I would recommend him (and Ben who was amazing) over and over again. If he is available for your wedding, book him now! You will not regret it!
Anders was an amazing addition to our wedding! He was very responsive but also extremely easy going throughout the planning process which was a godsend during all the craziness of getting things finalized. He is a true pro and was able to blend together a very eclectic set of requests as well as blend his role as a musician and a DJ seamlessly throughout the night.
On the day of, Anders set up early and was happy to be flexible with different requests throughout the evening! I would highly recommend!!
The trio of musicians were fantastic and their harmonies were really good. His DJ'ing was just as brilliant. Replayed songs if we missed them due to running around greeting guests and taking photos. All our wedding guests came up to us throughout the entire evening with "rave reviews" about Anders & the full band PLUS the DJ'ing portion of the night. Anders is incredibly thorough during the initial stages of planning/preparing for the wedding day and during the day of when he lined up the bridal party for introductions at the reception. We would highly recommend hiring Anders Hyatt to anyone!
We’re so happy that we worked with Anders for our wedding! He played acoustic music during cocktail hour and DJd during dinner and the remainder of the reception. Cocktail hour was AWESOME. I wish it could have been longer. Friends commented about the great music he played for dancing, too. We wanted a fun DJ who mostly let the music do the talking and that’s what he did! He was easy to work with for planning and our venue was commenting the next day about how kind and fun he was to work with, too.
We are SO glad we took our wedding coordinator's recommendation to hire Anders for our wedding. We were fairly certain we wanted to have DJ rather than live music but, luckily, were able to have both with Anders! Making our song choices was a breeze though Ander's website and he was happy to accommodate any additional requests that we had. Coordinating with Anders was effortless and took a lot of stress off our plate. Most importantly, all of the guests loved the music and were on the dance floor all night!
Anders Hyatt did a great job at our daughter's wedding this past weekend. Anders and his two musicians played live music for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Then he was the DJ during the reception. He played the music that was requested by the bride and groom. We had everyone dancing all night. I highly recommend him for both as a DJ and for live music.
Anders is such a talented singer and musician, he created such a beautiful ambiance for our wedding from the moment guests were arriving to the last dance on the dance floor! He is so easy to work with you, very experienced, calm, reliable, and attentive to details. He was able to smoothly transition from DJing to live performing throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour depending on our preferences for each song. He played and performed our first dance song, and it was so beautiful! We couldn't recommend him more highly. Our guests remarked that he was so great.
I can't recommend Anders enough!! First of all, I loved the fact that he offers both live music and DJ services - the fewer vendors, the better! It was so nice to work with him one-on-one rather than through a large DJ company. I looked for that in almost all of my wedding services. Anders was always available to answer questions and it was also clear that he was invested in how the entire night went, and went above and beyond to work with other vendors on timing, etc.
And the most important thing - Anders is SO talented and sounds phenomenal singing live! So many of our guests commented on how lovely the live music was, and how fun the dance songs were. It was so easy to choose songs for both the live and DJ portions, and he has a HUGE selection of songs that he can play live! My fiancé and I had so much fun picking songs , and the highlight of my night was hearing all our favorite songs covered so beautifully.
Thank you, Anders!
Anders and Angela were amazing. They can do a combination of live and pre-recorded music. They were very organized and it was very easy to choose what music we wanted at our wedding. They clearly have a lot of experience doing weddings and made the experience hassle free. Their live music was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better musicians at our wedding.
Anders was everything we imagined we needed! His acoustic style coupled with his DJ skills really set an amazing ambiance on our wedding day. I wouldn't have had it any other way!
Anders was fantastic for our wedding! Right off the bat in the search process online, we knew Anders was going to fit our style, and from our first communication until the wrap-up of the wedding, it was a seamless, enjoyable, friendly experience! The live music he played was even higher quality than I was anticipating, and his mixing of songs for the dance floor was certainly pro-level! I had playlists in mind for him to pull from and he rolled with it and really turned it in to something great. I couldn't recommend Anders enough, and hope I find a good excuse to hire him again in the future.
Anders was amazing to work with! Throughout the planning process he was always responsive and informative in helping us plan for the wedding day! Everyone was raving about both his live music during the ceremony, cocktail hour and dances and DJing for the reception! My husband is Puerto Rican and Anders did an amazing job incorporating our Latino music requests so the night was a perfect blend of both cultures!
Anders was wonderful to work with, and him/Angella was the perfect duo for our micro wedding in New Hope. Working with Anders for the initial discussions was very easy; he was quick to respond and very thorough when asking how we wanted the flow of the day to go. He also had a very detailed list of all available songs they could sing, which was really awesome. And their live music was captivating… they are an incredible duo.
Everybody had a blast at our wedding, and we still get feedback on how great they were! I absolutely recommend Anders and Angella for your event!
Anders was so helpful throughout the planning process and helped us come up with the best possible music timeline for our wedding. Literally every guest at the wedding was raving about the music and how amazing Anders, Angella and Ben were. It was the perfect mix of live music and DJing and Anders seamlessly transitioned. We could not have asked for anyone better, everyone had so much fun and it was such an incredible experience from the beginning working with Anders.
Amazing, easy to work with, fun, great music!!
Anders was a pleasure to work with from contract to event. He listened to all our needs and ensured our guests were constantly dancing! Thank you.
I don’t know how I could possibly describe how perfect Anders Hyatt Music was to have perform at our wedding. Anders was so personable, quick with correspondence, and just fantastic to work with. Anders and Angela were an actual dream. The music they make together is heaven sent. It was like the mixed tape of my dreams, except a live concert. It was incredible and inspiring and emotional. Music is so personal and having every idea and expectation come true was magic.
If you are at all on the fence about choosing Anders Hyatt Music for your wedding day, please do yourself a favor and book him asap! Live music and DJing all your favorite songs, what could be better?
Anders and Angela were AMAZING!!! So talented and professional. We really enjoyed the entire process of working with Anders from start to finish. They have so many song choices and sounded incredible. Anders really got the party going later in the night, too. We wish we could do it all over again with them!
We recently had Anders Hyatt Music for our wedding. There were a couple key elements that I wanted for our wedding and music was really the first one. I knew I wanted live music for the ceremony and dinner and Anders did not disappoint. He and Angella provided amazing vocals and guitar throughout the ceremony, the dinner, the speeches, the first dance and more. He had a very easy way for me to request songs for the various elements before the wedding and was very helpful and flexible with my requests. After dinner, we had him DJ for the rest of the party. Again, I gave him a number of suggestions, and he pretty much nailed the song selection for the whole night. The other BIG bonus, was how kind and friendly and easy-going Anders and Angella were. I didn't really know what I was doing, and they were so helpful and gave me suggestions when I asked for them.
Anders truly made our wedding night a spectacular event that we will never forget. The special thing about Anders is that he both performs live music as well as DJs. The live music was amazing - we brought on Anders' colleague Ben who plays both violin and piano. Ben played the violin during the ceremony, and both Anders and Ben played the guitar and piano during the cocktail hour. It was a huge hit with our guests! Anders' DJing is top-notch as well. He was able to fully replicate our musical tastes and MC-ed the night perfectly.
Communication with Anders was a breeze as well. He was swift to respond to all of our emails and questions. During our phone calls, he even brought up points that we didn't think of ourselves! His questionnaire was extremely helpful as well. It helped us communicate our wants while also giving Anders room to provide suggestions.
Pricing is tremendously fair - especially if you incorporate the live music package as we did!
Anders - thank you again! You and Ben really made our wedding an unforgettable experience!
My husband and I chose Anders because we wanted a classic live vocal/acoustic vibe for our ceremony and cocktail hr but then switch to some mixed in dj'ed music for the reception. First let me tell you that literally every other vendor of ours spoke SO HIGHLY of anders leading up to our big day, we felt like we booked a celebrity...and he did not disappoint! We got the refined classy vibe we wanted and all of our guests were so impressed by his talents and the number of songs he knew to play. Anders even learned a new song (like it was no big deal) for my husband's mother dance so all of our 1st dances were performed live which was super special. When the reception rolled around Anders did the perfect mix up of performed songs and recorded songs we all had a blast dancing, the selection he curated solely based off of a Spotify Playlist I made and he just chose days song selection inspired from that. I have absolutely no negatives. Anders rocks! Also, he has options to bring in other artists for live duos or trios which I am sure elevates the experience even more. Book him before he becomes famous and moves on to bigger things!
Anders was absolutely incredible! I can not recommend him enough. Super talented guitarist, friendly person, amazing performer!
My husband and I selected Anders and Ben to perform at our wedding. A month or so before our wedding Anders sent us a list of hundreds of songs to choose from to give him an idea of our music interests. We chose to have Anders and Ben perform together for the entirety of the wedding from the ceremony to the last dance, no DJing. Anders even learned two songs that were not on his list for our parent dances! We can not recommend Anders enough. He fit our vibe perfectly. All of our family said they want the "soundtrack to our wedding". He was very professional, kind, punctual and fun! Book him, you wont regret it!
Anders was amazing! Was super easy to deal with leading up to the wedding. Was super accommodating of our song choices. He even offered to play our first dance song live instead of the recording and we couldn’t have been happier with the way it turned out. He was relaxed but professional all night. His sound system/booth/lights were all excellent. We opted to have Anders play live for our dinner service and the one thing that always worries me is that the music will overpower people trying to have conversations. Anders was not overpowering or too quite. It was perfect. Would highly recommend Anders to anyone!
Working with Anders was a wedding dream come true! Music is a key factor in my relationship and it was super important to my now husband and I that we work with a DJ who understood our eclectic taste and wasn't just a "regular" wedding DJ/musician. From the very beginning, Anders was an absolute pleasure to work with, was very clear and prompt with communication, and had a great questionnaire that covered everything needed for the music for our wedding day. I had sent Anders a playlist for inspiration since our taste in music is all over the place and he said he had it handled, and boy did he.
My requests for the ceremony were perfectly executed, our cocktail hour music was beyond even what I expected (including some songs that are tricky to play) including a quick reset due to unexpected rain, and our dinner/dancing DJ'ed songs were wildly fun. We received so many compliments on the music (including gasps, thumbs up, and nods throughout) and it is completely due to Ander's style and professionalism. We hope he had as much fun as we did! It really was a dream come true!
Anders and Ben were the talk of our wedding! They played beautifully as our guests arrived, throughout our ceremony and cocktail hour, and during dinner. They then did a combo of DJing and live music throughout our reception, which for everyone on the dance floor. It was all perfect. Anders was great in the planning process and really went out of his way to make sure he knew the type of music we wanted at each part of our day. I think every single guest came up to my husband and I to compliment the music at some point or another. I honestly can not recommend Anders enough!
We booked Anders for our October 1, 2021 wedding. We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid in 2020 and Anders was nothing short of kind when it came to rebooking. On the day of, we received so many compliments on how great the live sets were during the ceremony and our cocktail hour. Anders did a great job of fulfilling music requests during the reception. Anders made our entire day absolutely amazing! I hope I have event or some kind to throw in the future just so I can book Anders again!
Anders was our musician (acoustic guitar and then DJ) for a Tues brunch wedding oct 5 2021. He was FANTASTIC. So many many compliments. Anders was easy to work with, excellent player and singer and was really savvy with the scene. He would play key songs when me and my hubby were not running with the photographer, he was where he needed to be when he needed to be there (three separate sites on the wedding location) and he just GOT IT. We and our guests HIGHLY recommend Anders Hyatt!
Nailed it, that’s it. Every single aspect and more . Friendly, personable and most of all talented beyond measure. Best musical experience I’ve had at a wedding. So blessed it was mine. Thank you both :)
Anders was wonderful! We booked him for our wedding in Lake Placid, NY, for a September 2020 wedding that was postponed until October 2021. Fortunately, he was still available on the new date and he graciously offered to honor our previously agreed upon pricing/scheduling. He provided a mix of live acoustic and vocal music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance, as well as DJed music for our dinner and dance reception. Anders comfortably guided us through the planning process for the event and gave us tremendous flexibility to be as involved as we wanted to be with regards to music selection. We ended up sharing with him a Spotify playlist of songs that represented the type/mood of music that we wished to have at our event and he was able to appropriately incorporate our selections at different stages throughout the evening and effortlessly chose additional songs that matched our style to fill in any gaps. Another musician, Angella, joined Anders for our evening (at no extra charge); she served as a wonderful duo partner for acoustic/vocal pieces and helped to make the evening run that much more smoothly. They both worked professionally at our event, needing little to no guidance for setup, execution, and tear down for the evening. In addition, they managed the event time and announcements effortlessly, while ensuring that we were still the main attraction rather than drawing attention to themselves with overwhelming theatrics like MCs we have encountered at other weddings. In short, they were an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding! By the end, we thought of them more as invited guests as opposed to vendors and our guests had nothing but positive things to say about Anders and Angella...even the resort staff working the event complimented us on the music! We could not recommend any other musician more highly for someone's big event...we wish we had something else to celebrate just so we could hire them again!
My husband and I came across Anders online soon after we got engaged in August 2019 - we went to see him play at a local restaurant and knew we had to include him in our day. My husband and I love live music, but didn't necessarily want to go the full band route. We had initially hired Anders to play at cocktail hour and possibly our first dance/parents' dances at our reception. Then the pandemic hit and our plans changed. We decided to still get married on our original date in a small ceremony, but postpone our reception to a year later. Anders worked with us to adjust our date and our plans. We decided to do a brief vow renewal ceremony before our cocktail hour and reception, so we asked Anders if he would play some songs while guests were getting seated and for the processional/recessional - and he was happy to do that. Working with Anders in advance of our day was super easy. He has an online database of songs you can pick from, online forms to fill out about the day, etc. Literally couldn't have been easier. On our day, I can't tell you how many guests came up to us and said how amazing the music was for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone loved the added special touch - it was the perfect balance of songs most everyone would recognize, and classy but fun. We are so glad we had Anders be a part of our day and we'd definitely recommend him to anyone else for their wedding or event - thank you!
My husband and I are so glad we had the opportunity to work with Anders as the musician for our wedding ceremony and reception! We chose to go with Anders' live music & "light" DJ services and it was fantastic. Anders is a great musician and our guests made it a point to mention to us how much they enjoyed his music during our cocktail hour and throughout parts of our reception when he wasn't DJing. Anders is very kind and professional and we appreciated him working with us especially as we had picked some nontraditional songs for our ceremony. While we gave him leniency to play and DJ mostly what he wanted, we felt he did a great job catering his playlist to our taste based off the songs we picked for our ceremony as well as a brief phone call we had with him. We highly recommend Anders for your wedding or any other event!
Anders was absolutely amazing to work with from beginning to end! As we all know, wedding planning can get a bit overwhelming, but Anders made the process of deciding on music and the direction of the day so easy and effortless. Having no experience with booking live music/DJ services, he walked us through everything step-by-step and gave guidance when we needed it, while also letting us create the day we wanted for ourselves. We had Anders and Ben perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ during the reception. Everyone loved it and we would DEFINITELY suggest Anders for your special day!
Having Anders at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the beginning, there was frequent and quick communication about wedding details that put our minds at ease.
I had very specific songs for the ceremony order procession etc and Anders executed perfectly. He arrived early to the venue and ensured everything was setup, checked, and prepared which I’m sure was challenging considering he had to do this in three separate locations. It was reassuring to hear him doing this in the time leading up to the ceremony.
Anders and Angella put on an incredible performance during our cocktail hour where they played live music. So many of our guests are still raving about them! They know so many songs that appeal to all audiences. It was a privilege to hear them perform.
Anders had the entire wedding party so pumped for our entry and continued to be a great MC throughout the night. He was excited to be there with us and kept that energy all night.
As a DJ, Anders had the dance floor on fire. He honored the “do not play list” and even accommodated some spontaneous (and ridiculous) requests made by our wedding party.
Overall Anders was professional, talented, and exceeded all expectations. I am so happy he was apart of our wedding day and am grateful he made it so special.
Anders was wonderful from the moment we contacted him to do our wedding. He was very responsive, positive and helpful throughout our entire wedding process.
Due to Covid, we had to reschedule our wedding from December to August but we kept our Christmas theme. Anders was so onboard with helping us keep the Christmas theme and him and Angella made the night magical with their live music during cocktail hour.
They both kept my guests dancing throughout the whole night and brought such a fun energetic vibe! Many of my guests have reached out to me after to say how great the DJ was.
Thank you Anders and Angella for making our Christmas in August wedding so special!
I highly recommend booking Anders for your wedding - you and your guests will be dancing all night!
Andrers and his team provided the best entertainment we could’ve asked for at our wedding. They made the entire planning and day of process so seemless. They were able to learn our requested processional song so beautifully that I cried the whole way down the isle, it was so beautiful!! The entire day they made us feel so comfortable, it had been like we knew them for a lifetime. We couldn’t recommend Anders & his team more. Their professionalism, personalization, and charism can’t be match.
Anders was amazing!! He and Angella sang for our cocktail hour and DJ’d at the reception. So many of our guests complimented on how great the music was and some mentioned they want to go watch Anders play at his local gigs. Anders was very accommodating with everything and overall great to work with. I’d highly recommend him for any wedding! You won’t be disappointed.
My husband and I are beyond happy that we used Anders Hyatt Music for our wedding. Not only is Anders incredibly musically talented...he was super easy to work with and brought my husband and I's vision for our wedding to life. He exceeded all expectations by far. It is easy to get wrapped up in other things during your own wedding, so the fact that Anders knew exactly what to do and where to be was very helpful. He is punctual, professional and has the best demeanor (always smiling)!
I really cannot express enough how pleased I am. Looking back at my wedding, his music will be something that sticks out in my mind. I hope other can be lucky enough to experience his music. It was a true pleasure to have him at our wedding.
Probably the most frequent comment we got from our guest was how great Anders and Angella were. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how great the music selection was. We loved how flexible Anders was with our plans. We had him play acoustic during our ceremony and cocktail hour with his duo partner, Angella before switching over to DJ. Anders had the dance floor packed the entire time, a huge contributor to making this the best day of our lives. Everything went so smoothly on the day of, in large part of Anders working with us to prepare all the details ahead of time. He was great with communication, organization, and very reasonably priced. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. Thank you again for making our wedding day perfect!
Anders was great! He brought a great wedding energy and enthusiasm to our wedding. He had great speakers which made for an awesome bride and groom entrance. He also learned and performed a song in Swahili.
Anders was AMAZING, just as expected. Extremely easy to work with and made everything run smoothly. We used Anders' and Ben's talents for the ceremony and cocktail hour music, and then Anders dj'ed our reception. Everyone loved that we had a mix of live music and djing. Anders worked with our special song requests for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He also stuck to our "do not play" list and our "must plays." Our dancefloor was PACKED all night. Cannot recommend Anders enough and my husband and I are hoping we can hire him again for something in the future!
Anders provided music for our guests as they were arriving, as well as the songs during our processional. Anders was responsive to all of our questions leading up to our wedding ceremony and a true professional. We gave him a list of songs (many of which we had never played before) and he quickly learned them for our ceremony, no hesitations or questions asked. You will absolutely not regret working with Anders!
Anders was absolutely amazing! We can't recommend him highly enough. He was totally cool with annoying last-minute changes (sorry, Anders!), super patient with our slow responses and frequent changes in plans, nailed the ambiance we were hoping for with like basically no guidance, and was super accommodating and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Definitely book Anders!
We found Anders thanks to the recommendation of our venue, and we could not have been happier with our choice on our wedding day. We hired Anders and Ben to play during our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and to DJ during our reception. Everything was perfect!!!! The music before/after the ceremony was beautiful and perfect for what we were looking for. Anders and Ben sounded great together and had a great vibe for cocktail hour and dinner, and once they switched over to DJing they kept the party going! We had a small wedding due to COVID and I was worried that people wouldn't dance with such a small group, and Anders played all the right songs to get everyone on the dance floor (and also played all the songs I requested). He also did a great job with introductions and kicking off the speeches - straight to the point and didn't make it about him, which some DJs have a tendency to do! In addition to the awesome music, which everyone raved about, Anders was extremely easy to work with and had great recommendations on his website for songs at different points of the night. I would highly highly highly recommend choosing Anders for you wedding!!!
Anders is AWESOME!! We pretty much gave him full range when it came to the music selection for our reception and he did an excellent job. He read the room perfectly and always had that great next song to play. THAT made my life sooo much easier!! I also had Anders and his coworker Ben play acoustic during our cocktail hour, once again, awesome! My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about Anders. It was a pleasure working with him!
We found about Anders through our venues. He was very easy to work with and the process is very simply and straightforward. He is familiar with the venues so he know where everything goes. We don't need to worry a thing. We picked the ceremony music from the list he suggested, it was just perfect for the moment and very touching. He also tailored the song for the first dance so the length of the song is just perfect. And he picked all the songs for the party and we all enjoyed very much. Thanks Anders for creating this beautiful evening!
Anders was the perfect musician for our wedding! It was an absolute delight to work with him -- he was communicative, thoughtful, easy-going, and super talented. We originally booked him for a wedding in the PA area, but due to COVID concerns, we had to change our plans from a well-known Philadelphia-area reception site to a completely different wedding concept: a DIY picnic wedding in Central Park, New York. To our surprise, Anders offered to stay with us, driving up to New York to play at our wedding at no additional charge! He was a true professional, learning our preferred processional song (which required a different guitar tuning), bringing a mic for our officiant, playing instrumental during guest seating and switching to live music during the picnic reception -- playing all our requests and perfectly tailoring the rest of his playlist to our tastes. Every guest commented on how incredible the music was throughout the day. It was the perfect wedding experience and Anders was a huge part of that! If you're thinking of booking him, don't hesitate -- and Anders, thank you so much for making our wedding day so extraordinary!
If you are thinking of hiring Anders for your wedding or event don’t hesitate, it will be the best decision you make!! After 3 postponed wedding dates for our destination wedding in Jamaica, we decided to cancel and have a local beach wedding in Ocean City, NJ. I always wanted to get married on the beach and have live music- and he was amazing and fit the vibe perfectly! He played Bob Marley songs while guests got seated, and then played all the songs we picked throughout the day for the recessional, first dance, mother son father daughter dance etc.. we didn’t have to pick every song because we told him to go with the vibe of the day and he was awesome. He sang/ played guitar along with some dj’ing songs from his iPad! He did not disappoint and in fact so many of our guests asked where we found him and complimented how good he was. He made planning a local wedding so easy knowing we’d be happy with his services! I wish we could do the wedding all over again because I want to dance and enjoy his music all over ! Anders thank you so much for making our wedding a wonderful memory!!!!
