Peat Moss and the Fertilizers were AMAZING and my husband and I would highly recommend them for any big event! They played at our Wedding in July 2024 and guests are still recounting how amazing they are and how fun the evening was dancing away to their music! They also played acoustic music during the cocktail hour, which created an ambience beyond what we could have imagined. We feel the band was one of the best parts of our wedding and we can't thank them enough for being such a special part of our big day. Again, definitely consider them for any upcoming event, especially a wedding, as they created an unforgettable atmosphere!!

We hired the Hey Nows for our post elopment/ wedding party and I cannot recommend them enough!! Barbara was extremely communicative during the booking process which eased the anxiety I had of never having worked with a band. Paul was also super easy to get a hold of (which also helped stress - esp the day of!). They showed up early, set up before the guest arrived and absolutely killed it.
They are super talented and were able to read the room perfectly to fit the vibe. I have been getting compliments for days now for how fun the party was and it would not have been same with anyone else on the stage. My friends were even like let's just do a party every year now since we had such a good time. If you're thinking about hiring them, you won't regret it. They are so fab!!

East Coast Band
If you are interested in booking a band for your music, just give Barbara a call and book East Coast Band now. People are still talking about how great the music was and they offered competitive pricing. We gave Melissa and team little direction as we are pretty easy-going, and they were able to read the room and play all the hits. They even took the time to learn the song my MIL wanted for her mother/son dance.

I don’t even know where to start. Barbara made the band selection easy. She listened to what we wanted and made recommendations based on that. Our guests are still raving about our band. They exceeded every expectation we had. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Barbara made sure our special requests and music preferences were met during our wedding. The band nailed every genre. Their versatility was amazing. Not only were they great musicians but they were easy to work with. Our band made our wedding day Unforgettable.

Peat Moss Band played at our wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job! All of the guests raved about them throughout the night and for the weeks after as well! Everyone was out on the dance floor. They were very responsive to requests, and Barbara was a delight to work. Would definitely recommend them to those looking for a lively wedding band! Thanks Peat Moss!

We worked with Barbara to book Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for our wedding and could not be happier. Barbara was great with communication and everything went off without a hitch. My husband and I spent a lot of our younger days at the Nutty Irishman and having a band that let us relive those days was the most important thing to us.
Peat Moss was incredible. They kept our party on the dance floor all night and we received so many compliments about how great they were. They played through our extensive lists of requests and hit on all our favorite songs. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band for their wedding!

We couldn't be happier with The Hey Nows for our wedding! From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic. They worked closely with us to ensure that every detail matched our vision. We collaborated with them to edit the set list, and they were incredibly accommodating and attentive to our preferences.
Their high energy and outstanding performance kept the dance floor packed all night. Our guests are still raving about the music and energy they brought! The manager of the band (Barbara) was exceptionally sweet, responsive, and thorough, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend this band to anyone looking to make their event unforgettable!

Peat Moss & The Fertilizers played at my wedding on 12/16 and I am SO thrilled with our decision to book them. We had them play acoustic guitar for our ceremony, keys during cocktail hour and the 6 piece band was the highlight of our wedding reception. We had a day time wedding and they helped make the vibe incredible. I am getting non stop compliments about the band. They learned our wedding song and knocked it out of the park. When the wedding was over the guests were chanting "ONE MORE SONG!" and they played an encore we will ever forget. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. I can't wait to see them live again!!

About 3 years ago we attended a wedding for some of our best friends in upstate New York. They told us all about how they hired a band, but the band broke up so they had a "back up band" playing that night. When I hit the dance floor for that wedding I never left. They kept the energy alive the entire night. I didn't even know there was dessert out. I'm 6'3" and 275, I'm a man who likes dessert. When the night ended I was drenched in sweat from dancing. I told the lead singer of that band I want their business card cause I'm absolutely going to hire them in the future. Fast forward almost 4 years later they were the first band I called. The Hey Nows. They were beyond professional and kept the entire place dancing! People were coming up to us to say that was the greatest wedding they've ever been too. The female lead singers voice....omg...we thought they were playing directly from the track when she sang Valerie. If you are ever thinking about doing a band for your wedding please look no further. 11/10 incredible!

I cannot say enough great things about Peat Moss & the Fertilizers. To start, working with Barbara at Omnipop was an absolute pleasure. She is always quick to respond and made booking the band easy.
Peat Moss had all our wedding guests dancing. They truly play something for everyone. Family and friends of all ages had nothing but rave reviews for the band. The great music was the cherry on top of a beautiful wedding day.
We saw the band three times before our wedding, and we will continue to follow them and see them play whenever possible!

Barbara is amazing! We reached out to Radio Riot (the band) in 2012 when my wife and I were planning our wedding. The first night we met in 2010, Radio Riot was playing at Claudios in Greenport, NY. I told my future wife that night that this band that will play at our wedding when we get married. TRUE STORY.
Well, Radio Riot played our wedding - and it was by far the best musical experience of any wedding or event we, and our guests, had ever experienced. They made the night truly special and no one stopped dancing! Barbara made the experience of booking and coordination easy. She is a true professional with great communication throughout the process.
Cut to last weekend, June 3, 2023, our ten year anniversary, but more importantly, my wife's "First Annual 39th Birthday Celebration". I reached out to Radio Riot again to play our party in Concord, MA. True to form, Barbara was all over it. The band signed on and we were off!
Radio Riot DELIVERS! They are true performers and kept our group of 150 dancing all night, again. They interacted with the crowd, were singing on the middle of the dance floor - everything you would hope for. This is not your standard, run-of-the-mill "wedding band". (How awful is an event with an average band?) These guys are AMAZING!! Our friends and family were absolutely blown away, as was the venue's staff. The energy they produce is not something I have ever experienced with other cover bands, and I guarantee is not something you have seen before (unless you have seen Radio Riot). Their music and voices make you feel like the original band is playing for you. True professionals all around.
Feel free to get my info from Barbara and I'll be happy to share about my three amazing experiences with Radio Riot and Omnipop. (Maybe I'll even share some photos or videos with you).

We had Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for our son's wedding yesterday and I just had to write to say what an amazing band they are! The struck exactly the right energy for our crowd! Everyone was on their feet and dancing but they also read the room really well - understanding when to be a real presence and also when to hold back. It was Sunday afternoon, but the energy was totally Saturday night! They are all so talented, lovely and professional. And working with Barbara just made everything easier. She is very warm, patient and accommodating. I could not recommend more highly.

We worked with Barbara to hire Peat Moss and the Fertilizers to play our wedding this past Thursday, and we are SO GLAD we did! Our guests are STILL talking about how fantastic the music was! We had sent them request a few days before the wedding to learn the piano instrumental of a few different Coldplay songs for our ceremony (not expecting them to accommodate given the short notice) and they did it! They even learned 100 Years for our first dance. They were so incredible that our guests rallied to ask for an encore, and they did it! We love them and can’t say enough good things!! They kept the energy high, kept everyone on the floor dancing, and are overall very talented musicians who you can tell really care.

We had Peat Moss and the Fertilizers play at our wedding at the end of October and our friends and family are STILL talking about how incredible they were. When we started planning our wedding we knew as lovers of live music that we needed to have a band. After a brief search, my parents recommended Peat Moss and the Fertilizers because they went to a wedding they played at and said it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. We knew we wanted them!
The process with Barbara was smooth and easy. She is very energetic and organized, we loved working with her!
The band stole the show at our wedding. Our venue was definitely not local for the band (it was about two hours upstate) but they made the trek and set up early so their van would be out of site before our ceremony began. This meant so much to us that they were set up early and were ready to go!
They were energized and got the crowd excited during our introductions, first dance, and parent dances. The magic happened though when they started playing. They immediately got people on the dance floor and no one left the dance floor until dinner was served.
Their set list was well thought out and flowed so incredibly well. They fed off the energy of the crowd and played them exactly what they wanted to hear. They even learned three songs that we requested and we definitely hope that "Shipping Up to Boston" is added to their regular rotation because they absolutely crushed it and it was a highlight of the night.
They were so down to Earth and awesome to talk with as well. They were easy going when it came to dinner time and they stayed to chat as they were cleaning up. They were absolutely incredible.
We highly recommend you book Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for your next event because we can promise you that your guests will have a BLAST and will rave about the band for many months after!

Barbara is so incredible to work with. She always was quick to reply and answered my millions of questions. She is so very kind and genuinely cares about her clients.
We had the The Hey Now's perform at our wedding on 8.19.22. Saying they were absolutely amazing is an understatement. I still have guests reaching out saying that they were the best cover band they've EVER heard.
I had seen them previously so I already knew how great they were but I am so happy that everyone else felt the same way. The entire group was so engaging with everyone in the crowd. I've never seen so many people stay on the dance floor at a wedding for as long as our guests did. It was exactly how we wanted it to be.
I can't thank all of them enough! I know all of my friends are already saying they want them at their weddings!! I highly recommend hiring them for your special day :)

One of the first decisions we made when planning our wedding was that we wanted a band and not a DJ. We had seen Radio Riot play at our friend’s wedding years ago and made note of them. It turns out that hiring them was one of the best choices of our entire wedding! John and Barbara were completely accommodating with what we were looking for. We had a specific vision in mind of a nontraditional wedding with minimal interruptions. Radio Riot was completely onboard with our ideas. To say they were incredible would be an understatement. Guests came up to us throughout the night asking who the band was and telling us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. They played two huge (the only stops were for dinner and dessert), varied sets, with songs ranging from I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Runaround Sue, and even a killer pop punk section. They also learned some songs for us (please keep Uptown Girl in the rotation!). They kept the dance floor packed and nailed being the centerpiece of the wedding. I can’t recommend Radio Riot enough! Thanks to the band for making our wedding the perfect party.

Barbara at Omnipop was a pleasure to work with while planning our daughter's wedding. Barbara is a true professional. She was always available to answer any questions we had during the process. She is kind, caring and enjoyable to chat with. The band we hired was Peat Moss and the Fertilizers. We cannot say enough about them. They are so talented. and full of personality. They had everyone up and dancing the whole night. Barbara suggested we add a female singer. We took her suggestion and had the pleasure of Jackie singing along with Peat Moss and the Fertilizers. She is extremely talented as well. We have had so many people reach out to us expressing that it was the best wedding that they ever attended. We contribute a large portion of that to the band. If you are looking for a fun and talented band that will keep the party going, we suggest you hire Peat Moss and the Fertilizers. You will be glad you did!

We had Radio Riot play at our 11/12/21 wedding, and it was the BEST decision we ever made! Every single wedding guest came up to my husband or I to say that Radio Riot was one of the best live bands they’ve ever seen, including the maître d’ of my venue. Of the 130 guests I had, minimum 80% were on the dance floor at any given time. They absolutely crushed the mix of genres to appeal to all guests – Van Halen to Olivia Rodrigo to The Killers (with my husband and I’s input beforehand, of course, but we also gave them free reign to read the room as needed). I could NOT recommend them more!!

Let me say one thing....if you aren't going with Barbara & Omnipop, you are making a huge mistake in wedding planning. With COVID and pushing our wedding, Barbara was amazing not only on a professional level but also on a personal level as well. I work in the events industry by trade and she was a pleasure to plan with. She was open and honest and helpful every step of the way when it came to booking our band, The Hey Now's. Which brings me to my second point...BOOK THEM. All the flowers and decor in the world means nothing if your music is "meh". We found The Hey Now's at a bar in Long Beach right after we got engaged and man did they bring the heat for the wedding. Not a single person sat the entire night, for a 4 hour reception. What was especially amazing is the range of songs in their catalogue. Everyone from my 85 year old uncle to my 15 year old nephew knew every song and belted the lyrics out with them. I wish I could scream to the rooftops how amazing this group, with Barbara at the helm, were to work with. Take it from me...they are well worth it and you will not regret the decision.

Amazing experience! We had The Zoo play our wedding in October 2021 and worked with Barbara at Omnipop. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. Barbara was on top of everything and the booking process was extremely smooth and easy. The band was absolutely phenomenal. Every guest at our wedding commented how they loved the band. They cover all genres flawlessly and a couple guests even asked me if they played a recording of the actual song for some songs because they sound that good. My wife and I met at a concert so having a great band at our wedding was very important to us, and they exceeded expectations. If you want a band for your wedding that will keep the party rockin from beginning to end then you need to book The Zoo with Barbara at Omnipop! You will not be disappointed.

I was so nervous to book a band - it can really make or break the night! But Pete Moss and the Fertilizers were incredible - people were talking about them all night and for weeks afterwards. They have amazing range, and learned new hits (T. Swift and Dua Lipa :) that we requested.
SUCH a great choice - we loved them. And Barbara is a joy to work with. She was our nicest vendor when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. Highly recommend!

Barbara helped us book Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for our wedding, and I truly cannot say more good things about both of them! The band was amazing, and had everyone on their feet the entire time (literally). They really elevated our entire reception, playing all different types of music that everyone loved. Barbara helped make that happen. She is a joy to work with! She answered every question I had, no matter how tiny, in a timely fashion and made sure every request was taken care of. When I asked about adding a female singer and saxophone player, and how to play my grandfather's old singing recordings during the dinner break, she helped coordinate with ease. Barbara made me feel like family, and I cannot recommend her, and Peat Moss and the Fertilizers, enough!

We hired Nicolls Road and DJ Rumor (Chris) for our wedding day and we were blown away! Our guests were completely wowed and everyone was so impressed with what an incredible range of music they not only played but played well! They also had such a great stage presence and really knew how to hype up the crowd. They had great lighting too. Even the venue owner was impressed and asked for their card to hire for other events. Chris was such a sweetheart as well and a fabulous DJ. I highly recommend! I could tell he really cared about our special day! Everything went really seamlessly and Barbara their agent was such a sweetheart. She helped me get some ideas for the ceremony songs and was very accommodating. As a Covid bride who needed to postpone, she set my mind at ease, was responsive, and made rescheduling easy. My guests will be raving for years to come! I wish I could do it all over again because I just love Nicolls road! I’m looking forward to the next time I get to see them live when I visit home. Also I have to say for such a popular incredible band in Long Island the pricing was reasonable! Run don’t walk to book them for your wedding. Total game changer!

Last Saturday we had The Zoo perform at our wedding. Not only did they kill it, but the whole process of booking them was enjoyable. Barbara (Omnipop) and Randi were the most courteous and attentive people to work with they listened to our vision and turned it into a reality. We decided to forgo a videographer to free up room in our budget because we could either have a video of a mediocre wedding or memories of an epic one, and they did not disappoint. Our guests and vendors were blown away by their performance, and they had a a large role in helping our wedding be everything we've dreamed of and more. We could not recommend them more if any of you are on the fence about booking below are some pictures to show just how magical the night was!

Barbara is the best person you could ever deal with. She is so tactful and professional , yet kind and sweet with a heart of gold . Barbara originally got us the band we wanted on our wedding day , she worked hard , changing their date at a venue they play at . We were so happy then had to postpone until 8/14/21 due to Covid , and once again Barbara was happy to reschedule us . We personally met Barbara to thank her in person . Wonderful people like Barbara and ethical businesses like Omnipop are rare to find in this changing world.

Peat Moss was the one of the first vendors that my fiancé and I book. We had seen them preform at various bars and beaches on LI. When we decided to go through with our 50 person wedding due to Covid restrictions they were on board. It did take a longer than I wanted to finalize the details but we were able to make it happen. They crushed it at my wedding! We had them play our first dance and the parent dances live which were amazing! I would definitely recommend them for your wedding! The dance floor will be packed the entire night!

Hi Def was better than we even hoped for. We saw the band a few times live before booking them so we knew they sounded great and with two amazing vocalists they can play such a wide range of songs across various genres. What really blew us away though, was the energy and excitement they played with. It kept people up dancing all night and made the party unforgettable. Some of our guests are still raving about how much fun they had. We can’t thank them enough for putting the exclamation point on such an incredible night.

The Zoo absolutely brought down the house at my wedding. Had several guests tell me it was the best band they had ever seen at a wedding. They literally got all 200 guests on the dance floor and no one left all night long! They did acoustic music during the dinner and then knew exactly when to ramp it up to transition it into a party. Their ability to play so many different genres and read the crowd quite literally made our wedding one of the best nights of our lives. I can’t thank you and them enough!!

Peat Moss and the Fertilizers did our wedding in NYC on May 18, 2019. We could not recommend them more! From start to finish our experience with the band was amazing! Barbara and the band listened to our every request, were wonderful at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable leading up to our big day. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music was all amazing! No one sat down all night as we danced the night away! The band even offered to learn the song we wanted our first dance to, no questions asked! We are still getting compliments from our guests about how great the band was! With how stressful wedding planning is, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with a company and band who was so responsive and really cared about making us happy on our big day!

Hands down the best wedding band there is. These guys and gal kept the party going the entire time! We had multiple people tell us after the wedding how much fun they were. Can’t wait to go see them live at a Bar one of these nights!

Barbara was amazing to work with! She was so helpful from the first phone call to our wedding day. We chose Peat Moss and the Fertilizers and they did not disappoint! Everyone is still raving about the band. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We were so happy they played every song we requested and even learned our wedding song. Thank you Barbara and Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for a perfect wedding!

Peat Moss had our dance floor packed all night. One of my guest said that at our wedding of 250 people, you could count on two hands the amount of people sitting down at any given time. They did a great job of reading the crowd and knowing what songs people in their 20s and 70s would all enjoy.
Barbara Klein was great to work with, and always friendly and professional. You won’t regret choosing them for your wedding!

Peat Moss and the Fertilizers (plus a 3 piece brass section) was absolutely incredible and a major highlight! We got (and are still getting almost a month later) so many compliments about them. They really made for a great celebration. They did an incredible job with our first dance song, that at one point my mom thought they weren’t playing since it sounded exactly like the recording. The dance floor was packed and barely anyone was sitting for more than dinner, and a few minutes for dessert. When the curfew set in and they were no longer allowed to play, no one was leaving and everyone offered to pay whatever the fine was if they would play another song! Some friends asked the band for a set list and gave it to us to keep as a memento the next day (highly recommend). We didn’t want the night to end but we’re lucky to have so many amazing memories. We really don’t have enough nice things to say. The band couldn’t have been better!
Barbara was a pleasure to work and speak with during the planning process. She was always happy to answer questions and is a true professional. She answers honestly and won't lead you astray.

Radio Riot was the absolute best! I am so happy I chose them to play at my wedding in March. They were affordable and so easy to work with. They played a variety of songs, they listened to our requests and even learned songs that we wanted that they didn’t know. Everyone was up dancing. They kept the party alive and going all the way to the end!

Radio Riot performed at my brother's wedding before mine. After hearing how awesome they were as musicians and people on his special day, they were an absolute no-brainer for us. I am a lifelong musician and have played in a lot of bands over the years. I'm picky about my music and the musicians themselves. Radio Riot exceeded my expectations at every turn. Barbara and Frog were so warm, flexible, and easy to work with that there were no worries about logistics, setup or anything. They communicated well with our venue staff and problem-solved so that my wonderful bride and I could have a clear head leading up to and on the big day. THEIR SET WAS AMAZING. I still have people, 6 months later, raving about the music at our wedding. They honored most of our requests leading up to the big day and read the room to keep the party alive and well all night. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Radio Riot is seriously the best out there! We had them for our wedding and they knew all the songs we want and went above and beyond for us! Every single song we asked for they did and absolutely beautiful!!!! Our family can not stop talking about them. We will continue to go to there shows on long island and hope we can see them soon! They have a place in our hearts, can not wait to get the video and listen to it all over again! Thank you Omnipop talent group! Couldn’t have asked for more!

After a perfect ceremony, we were so ready for a perfect reception .. which it was, in great part due to "Peat Moss And The Fertilizers." They're the quintessential wedding band. Letter perfect. Not too loud, but really rocking .. not overly sentimental but right in that sweet spot you want for such an important day. As Godfather of the bride, I so wanted the very best for her, and they really delivered. The dance floor was packed for every note of every tune. I emphatically recommend them. Did I say they were good?

I don’t even know where to start. Hot date band was absolutely incredible at my wedding. For so many reasons. First of all they are so so so talented. I had the 5 piece band + the cello and guitar for ceremony music as
Well as a saxophone and horn. My 93 year old grandfather who can barely walk anymore was dancing and spinning me around for at least 30 minutes. I really can’t any other band being able to do that. Some direct quotes from my guests include “we looked up our contract with our wedding band to see if we can cancel and book these guys” and “this was genuinely the best band I’ve seen and most fun I’ve had at a wedding.” Secondly , they are so reasonably priced. Third of all, they really do care about their clients and their passion for what they do is obvious. Bryan (one of the lead singers) would answer my texts in literally 2 minutes max. He put my mind at ease assured me everything would go well (and it did). They played every song I asked for. Such genuinely nice people. Highly highly recommend.

Peat Moss and the Fertilizers were absolutely amazing at our September 7, 2018 wedding! My husband and I never left the dance floor! They were so fun, entertaining, and high energy. We were thrilled that they learned our first dance song and my father daughter dance song as the songs were not on their song list. It meant so much to us. They exceeded our expectations and guests are still raving about how fantastic they were!

Barbara Klein was a fantastic talent agent, and the band represented -- Pete Moss and the Fertilizrs -- they were incredibly talented, professional, and nice. I can't say enough about her or the band. They had a wide variety of songs we could choose from, and were able to tailor their set list to our wants. The band was a huge hit at our wedding. We had tons of guests talking about them the night of, and days and weeks after. Thanks, Barbara! I can't say enough good things about your or Pete Moss.

Peat Moss is a band that I've heard play since I was in college. When I found out that they did weddings, I can't tell you how excited I was. My husband jokes that I knew the band I wanted for our wedding before I knew that I wanted to marry him.
They went so above and beyond expectations. Barbara was great to work with and made the entire process smooth and stress free. The band was incredible. We had over 200 people at our wedding, and tables were empty the entire night because no one stopped dancing. They ran our wedding with professionalism such professionalism, and we had so much fun. Last minute (ten days before) I had an issue with a separate ceremony musician we had planned on, and Peat Moss's keyboard player stepped in without hesitation.
A month later, and still all I hear about is how great the band was!

We hired Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for our wedding in July, based on seeing them at both my sister's wedding and another wedding. Barbara was attentive and very helpful during the planning process.
We hired the pianist to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour... he played beautifully!
We requested that the band learn two songs for us that were meaningful for our event. They did a fantastic job! Everybody danced for the whole time... the dance floor was never anything less than mobbed! I recommend Peat Moss and the Fertilizers to anyone who would like to have an upbeat band who plays every genre of music out there! They're so friendly, and flexible, and they helped to make the night.

Barbara and the Omni Pop Group are the best! I’ve been dealing with them for years on behalf of my firehouse and they have never let us down! I don’t often give referrals, but they are at the front of my Rolodex (and yes I still have one)

I had East Coast Band at my wedding 6/30/18. Words cannot express how much I love this band. They have played for my sisters weddings in the past and I chose them for mine because they are beyond fun. They know exactly how to get the crowd going and dancing for the entire night with upbeat, dance party favorites. I had such a blast and didn't sit down once, nor did my guests. It was a pleasure working with Paul. He answered all my questions and made the entire process to easy and fun. The 10 piece band was absolutely amazing. Melissa and Kevin have beautiful voices and can sing anything. They made my wedding and I can't thank the East Coast Band enough. Highly highly recommend.

We booked Peat Moss based off a friend's recommendation and thank god we did. People tell us every day that was the best wedding band they have ever seen. From the moment the doors open they got everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. An amazing variety of songs to keep every age group energized and dancing. We basically didn't eat anything during the reception because we didn't want to leave the dance floor.
We added the female singer and brass which made such a huge difference. It elevated their performance to an even higher level. Even with that, the price for them was so much better than other bands we were checking out on the Island.
The sound quality was amazing, renditions of our favorite songs spot on, and the band was just fun. Peat Moss made our wedding the most fun one that either of us have ever been to.

I highly recommend Hot Date Band and All Occasion Music for every wedding! We went to see them ahead of time not at a wedding and they were very good, but wait till you get them in front of a crowd! Our friends commented all night how great they were and also that "i kept looking up thinking it was the DJ playing and it was the band, they were amazing". They kept the dance party going without a lull and transitioned through songs so seemlessly that people never had a chance to sit down! Mark was a great classy MC and did so without being cheesy like many wedding DJs can be. Not only that, but they were super accommodating and flexible the entire way. Thanks for making our wedding awesome!

I got married on September 30, 2017. Ready in ten was the band that played at my wedding. They did an absolutely incredible job from start to finish. This band is extremely talented and they made our wedding reception perfect. Guests at the wedding commented on how the band did such a great job of keeping the party going and the mix of songs they played were great! I highly recommend this band to anyone who is looking to make their wedding reception a day that you will never forget!

The Zoo was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at our wedding on October 7th in Garrison, NY.
I don't think words could describe how much EVERYONE loved them. The dance floor was packed the whole time (other than toasts and dinner), the music was so fun, they were incredibly nice to anyone that had a request, checked with us multiple times, and overall made the entire wedding a blast. The fact that my father-in-law took off his tie and swung it around like a lasso, and my mother-in-law danced to songs that I didn't even think she would dance to, says something about their performance.
Honestly, we have people telling us it's the best wedding they've ever been to, asked where we found the band, told us they were worth every penny, and we couldn't agree more. They MADE the wedding as fun as it was and we are so incredibly grateful for their time and energy that night.
Any couple is lucky to have them play at their wedding. They were a blast as well as professional! Thank you to Barbara as well for coordinating everything for the band!!! Absolutely wonderful.

We had seen The Zoo a bunch of times prior to our weddings and knew as soon as we got engaged we wanted them at our wedding. This was the easiest and best decision we ever made... we had the time of our lives and at no point during our wedding was the dance floor empty. They definitely made our day everything we hoped for.

We engaged Radio Riot for our wedding on 9/9/17 and I cannot say enough to recommend them! They were professional from start to finish and had the entire party dancing all night which is exactly what we wanted. Each musician has a unique personality so they can really do anything that you can imagine and they also perform like you wouldn't believe (guitar solos, dancing with the crowd, etc). I personally also really appreciated their flexibility. Our wedding was a bit unusual in that it was a cocktail style party for the entire night, so we had less breaks for the band than are usual but they were super accommodating of that and our generally more complicated schedule. They also learned several new songs that we were hoping to have played (including so that my cousin could sing with them for a song) and were great at picking up on the vibe of what the crowd wanted as the night progressed. If you want a fun band that has a go-with-the-flow attitude and will have even your non-dancing guests dancing all night, Radio Riot is your band!

We saw Peat Moss perform at a friends wedding a year prior to ours. During the wedding planning process, the only thing that was a clear no brainer was immediately booking these guys! Pace/tempo/ability to read the crowd, they know it all. Additionally, when needed to MC things during the night (intro's, first dance announcements, etc.), it doesn't sound like the traditional corny DJ who is trying to hijack the evening. Couldn't have asked for more as far as learning our songs on point and playing a lot of what we expressed we liked, while also getting the crowd involved.

Barbara was so helpful from the minute I reached out to her about Radio Riot. The band was amazing! They were super professional and had everyone on the dance floor the entire time. They played a nice varied selection of music from every decade. We can't say enough positive remarks about Radio Riot. Thanks for an unforgettable evening!

Peat Moss and the Fertilizers were everything we had hoped and more. I first saw them perform at my friends wedding and also enjoyed them at my brother's wedding. My husband is a former DJ so finding a wedding DJ that could live up to his standards was impossible. We are a very musical family and knew a live band was the best option for us. Their talent is undeniable. At a mixed culture wedding to have everyone from the kids to the grandparents dancing all night is an impressive accomplishment! They also allowed my father to perform our wedding song with them. I strongly recommend them.
