DJ Gary was the DJ for our wedding this past May at the Abbey Inn & Spa in Peekskill, and he was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, he kept the dance floor full with a f...
un, well-rounded mix of music that had guests of every age up and dancing all night long. He made sure to play every single song we requested, and he clearly took the time to understand what we wanted for our celebration. Beyond his talent behind the booth, Gary was just a genuinely kind and fun person to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy every step of the way, checking in and making adjustments without us even having to ask. He brought so much positive energy to the day and helped make our wedding feel exactly the way we’d hoped. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, attentive, and truly cares about making your day special, I cannot recommend DJ Gary and Craig Scott Entertainment enough. Highest possible recommendation!

We heard countless rave reviews from our guests all night and even after the wedding. Everyone kept talking about how fantastic they were. We cannot recommend Craig Scott enough!

We had the best time and didn't want the music to end!
Thank you for making our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception so wonderful! You are the best!

st comfortable with Craig Scott. Working with them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Scott, Nick, and the team behind them were professional and quick to respond. We had the incredible Richie Craig band and also the incredible Dj Gary both for our reception. They played all the best classics to modern favorites. The energy in the room was incredible! I wish I could re-live the night over and over!! One of our favorite moments was them performing live our first dance song and our last dance song! They even come on to the dance floor which was super fun and engaging. The pacing and execution were flawless from start to finish. They did the introductions, the uplighting which set an elegant ambience, provided sparklers and dancing on clouds, a projector for our same-day-edit video, etc. We also used the company’s string quartet for ceremony and jazz duo for cocktail hr and were all incredibly talented. They worked with our church, our venue, and our wedding coordinator to make sure everything was aligned. Weeks later, our guests are still talking about how incredible they were and how much they loved the atmosphere throughout the night. Incredibly grateful for Craig Scott Entertainment for making our wedding vision a reality. Truly spectacular!!!

We went to two weddings where Richard Bascomb & Phase One was the band and knew we needed them at our wedding. After we booked our venue for 10/25/25 they were the first vendor we ...
reached out to. They keep the dance floor packed the WHOLE wedding, and so many of our guests complimented how much fun they were and how great they sounded. We added two extra pieces (extra female vocals and extra horn), and the singers would come down into the dance floor to engage with our guests. Before we booked we did not realize that the package also included live music during the ceremony and during cocktail hour (you can pick keyboard or guitar- we had keys for ceremony and guitar for cocktail hour). They also had guitar playing during dinner when the full band was not performing, which was a nice extra to be included for no additional charge. Rich and the others from Craig Scott are so easy to work with and very responsive via email. We had someone reach out to us about a week before each payment was due to confirm what payment method we want which we so appreciated. Rich also coordinated with the maid of honor to play a clip of music during her speech. We met with Rich the week before the wedding to give song requests (and they learned Taylor swifts new song that had been out for only a week or two for us) and then based off the age of our guests the curated the rest of the playlist. If you want a lively and packed dance floor all night highly highly recommend Phase One!! I wish I could post videos as part of the review to show how incredible they really are

On our wedding day, we had the absolute best time on the dance floor and so did our guests! It was so special that the band accommodated all of our special requests, including my Dad playing the drums! We couldn’t have asked for more - everything was perfect! They are so talented and really kept the energy up the entire evening. They have become a fan favorite - my best friend also had them at her wedding, and they will be at a family friend's wedding this upcoming December. Thank you so much for being a special part of our big day. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision!

From our first inquiry, The Craig Scott Band was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited about our wedding. They took time to understand our vision and musical preferences....
Communication leading up to the big day was smooth and reassuring.
During the ceremony, the acoustic setup was elegant and perfectly timed. For cocktail hour, their set added the perfect background vibe. Once the reception began, they truly stole the show. Their energy was infectious, and the dance floor was packed all night.
They played a fantastic mix of classics, modern hits. Every musician was incredibly talented, and the vocals were powerful and on point. Guests kept asking us where we found them. Their emceeing was tasteful and kept the night flowing smoothly. They handled every transition flawlessly and made it all look effortless.
This band didn’t just play music — they created moments we’ll never forget. Hiring The Craig Scott Band was one of the best decisions we made. Five stars, no hesitation.

Review: Craig Scott Band – The Ultimate Wedding Entertainment!
If you’re looking for a wedding band that will turn your reception into an unforgettable celebration, Craig Scott is ...
the one to book! From the very first song, they had the entire crowd on their feet, bringing an incredible energy that never let up.
What truly set them apart was their ability to read the crowd—they knew exactly what to play and when, keeping the dance floor packed all night. Whether it was an upbeat hit to get everyone moving or a slower song at just the right moment, they had an instinct for keeping the party going.
But they didn’t just play for us—they played with us! At times, they even joined guests on the dance floor, making the night feel interactive and even more exciting. Their stage presence, enthusiasm, and sheer talent made every song a performance to remember.
If you want a band that goes beyond just playing music and truly elevates your wedding, Craig Scott is the perfect choice. They turned our celebration into an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for more!

We hired Richard Bascomb & Phase One through Craig Scott Entertainment for our wedding band, and we could not have picked anyone better to perform on our wedding day!
Before our ...
wedding day, Rich took the time to truly understand the vibe we wanted for our wedding to ensure that our vision would come to life. Whether it was song requests, the style of music we wanted played at specific times, special dances at specific times, a traditional request, or a non-traditional request, Rich made sure to take note of every little detail so the band was prepared. Something special about Richard Bascomb & Phase One is that they do not have one set way of doing things – they are very accommodating to your unique vision, and they try their absolute best to fulfill as many of your requests as possible.
During the wedding reception, and even weeks after, our guests (and us) could not stop talking about how incredible the band was. Their talent, cohesiveness, and their ability to sing such a wide variety of song genres is remarkable. Richard Bascomb & Phase One managed to get every guest on the dance floor, and the band was in with the crowd dancing, singing, and creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. The entire wedding reception went flawlessly, and that is all thanks to Rich being extremely organized and the band's obvious preparation for the event.
We put our full trust into Richard Bascomb & Phase One to play a huge part in our wedding day, and they went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We cannot put into words how incredible they are. So, if you are looking for a top-notch wedding band, Richard Bascomb & Phase One is the way to go – you will not be disappointed!

One of the highlights of our wedding at the Hilton Pearl River was the live musicians provided by Craig Scott. Their performance during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner was nothing short of spectacular. The musicians were skilled, versatile, and created a beautiful ambiance that our guests absolutely loved. Their live renditions of our favorite songs added a personal touch that made the evening even more special.
When it was time to hit the dance floor, DJ Frank from Craig Scott Entertainment took over and kept the energy high all night. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and mixed our favorite songs with guest requests seamlessly, ensuring that the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We also incorporated live musicians into our reception as well, and our guests could not stop talking about how incredible the saxophonist and violinist were! When we initially spoke to Scott, he understood everything my husband and I hoped to have at our wedding reception! He completely blew us out of the water!
Their attention to detail was impeccable—they made sure every moment, from our first dance to the final song, was perfectly timed and executed. They also worked seamlessly with our other vendors, ensuring that the entire event flowed smoothly.
Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had dancing the night away! We couldn’t have asked for a better music company to bring the energy, joy, and live music experience we wanted on our wedding day. We highly recommend Craig Scott Entertainment to any couple looking for a top-notch music experience that will leave everyone with amazing memories.

We interviewed many bands for our wedding, but none had the musicianship and crowd-working ability like the Craig Scott Band. Although we never attended an event with them, the vid...
eo we saw convinced us to take a risk, and it paid off tremendously.
From the start, all our calls with Scott and Nick were organized, and they always put us first, thinking through everything we needed. They even learned a few extra songs, like "Pinball Wizard," which is a challenging piece and held special meaning as a memory for my late father. Unlike other bands, they did not charge extra for learning these songs.
When they arrived at our wedding, they were impeccably dressed and coordinated. They expertly managed the playlist to keep people on the dance floor—impressive for a Sunday wedding after a long holiday weekend. The band members frequently came onto the floor to interact with our guests, making it a truly unique and engaging experience.
All our guests were so impressed that they asked for the band's information for their children's upcoming weddings. Trust me, if you’re reading this, book them now before your date gets taken. They are absolutely incredible, and even my family, who are musicians themselves, were blown away

tone and keeping the energy HIGH throughout the night. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional – they had everyone on the dance floor the entire night which was so important to us! Countless guests have since told us that this was the best wedding band they've ever experienced. Craig Scott Band was the best decision we made!!

My fiance and I got married on 5/3/24 and had Phase One as our wedding band. Rich and his band were INCREDIBLE! The energy all night long was amazing - there was not one moment t...
hroughout the entire night where we didn't see our dance floor packed, which is exactly what we wanted! We gave a couple of songs beforehand that we wanted played, but the band took the rest and ran with it and everything was perfect. We loved how personable the band members were and how engaged they were with us and our guests on the dance floor. Rich was also super communicative and helpful leading up to the wedding and made sure all of our questions were answered. Our family and friends are still talking about how incredible the band was 2 months later. We would recommend Craig Scott Entertainment/Phase One Band to anyone who is looking for live music that will make their wedding night unforgettable!
