ELAN ARTISTS

at we ended up hiring, Lamplighter-- and convinced us to hire live music for the ceremony (guitar and vocals) -- and to have Elan cover the sound/stereo equipment. She didn't steer us wrong! We hired Luke for our ceremony. He sang and accompanied himself on the guitar. It was a nice touch to have live music at our ceremony and the sound guy made sure we were all mic'd up and audible in our outdoor setting. We hired Lamplighter for our reception. They brought the house down and had guests on the dance floor all night-- our guests raved about them, and we were wowed by their musicianship and professionalism. Having live music was a priority for us, and my husband and I danced until we were exhausted! There's nothing like a tight band with a great sense of what to play next. They learned, and flawlessly performed, multiple songs for us and our parents. The groups represented by Elan are not the least expensive options, but we listened to a lot of demos when trying to decide what group to hire and for us, working with Lamplighter was worth the extra money. We were totally satisfied by the experience of working with Gretchen and Elan Artists for our wedding.

ur song choices and how we could contact our band. She was available for walk-through's and coordination of the event. On the day of, the band was amazing. They were on-time, and MC'd the events perfectly. Their music was lively and fun, making our day a blast.

, was so nice and accommodating to the songs we requested. They’re so nice, fun and extremely talented. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!!

few days before they performed! So impressed with their talent, chemistry and general positive vibe. Seriously book them STAT!

ng and talented they were and how much fun they had dancing all night. They were super easy to work with and very responsive. They know how to read the crowd and also did such a perfect job singing the songs we picked out. Highly recommended – you will have the best time ever!

d everyone else away. SO talented, SO energetic, SO fun. They took zero breaks (though they're in the contract!), and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. We added two horns, which I also highly recommend (they add them into songs that don't ordinarily have horns, so you do get your money's worth!). Kerry, the band leader, was terrific to work with. The entire band, from the musicians to the singers, are just consummate professionals: they know how to put on a fabulous set. You don't need to wonder if they know how to order the songs, how to set the tone, etc.; they do. Yes, they are expensive -- but for perhaps the most memorable part of the wedding (for our guests!), it was worth every single penny.

ofessional and wonderful to work with. Andrea, the band leader, is DELIGHTFUL and our meeting before the wedding was a BLAST. I cannot say enough about how amazing this group is. I am still so blown away!!!! Amazing sound, amazing people, HUGE energy- your guests will thank you forever!!!

nd our do not playlist. Our wedding was as phenomenal as it was thanks to their performance; the party would not have been such a hit without them!

o all our requests. They keep their repetoire very current, but can play anything under the sun. We opted to add horns because the venue is a bit grand. I am very happy we did, but their vocals are so incredible we probably didn't need them. We couldn't recommend SoundHouse more!!!!

ur family/ group of friends, loves to dance. Hiring a top wedding band was important to us and we were lucky to get Andrea at the Hudson Project to work with us. Her group completely killed it, and people didn't stop dancing at any point during the night. We didn't give Andrea any direction except "make it fun" and some select songs (our dance, father/daughter, mother/son, and one song we both loved.) Very high energy. You should hire the Hudson Project if you can get them....best proof I can offer is: when we picked up our photo album (nearly 9 months later) our wedding photographer asked for the Band's name, saying it was still the best one he's ever heard.

Rhythm Collective. And..... they are amazing! I seriously could not drag myself off of the dance floor all night and either could any of my guests, even those who don't normally dance. The band blew me away, they are even better than their videos on their website. If you want to have a wedding that everyone will remember for years to come, hire Rhythm Collective. You won't regret it.

o., but you can follow the band on Facebook. They perform locally (NYC) from time to time.

didn't follow up with us to try to make our day special. It was clear he didn't put any thought into the playlists for the evening despite being given enough information on what we were looking for. Worst of all, he was given a detailed list of the bridal party names and the timeline yet he still managed to screw up the introductions TWICE!!!! The jazz trio was good enough but I wouldn't use this company to book music again if I had to do it over.

ests that were important to us. Loved everything.

dible fun and eclectic mix of songs. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to all my friends!
