We hired EMG for our wedding DJ, photo booth, lighting, and added a live saxophonist. The dance floor was packed all night, and the saxophonist was a major hit—our guests couldn’t stop raving about him! The lighting and photo booth also added a really fun, polished feel to the night.
That said, we do feel it’s important to share some context. As a gay couple, we were surprised and disappointed to see EMG launch their “EMG Bride” campaign—heavily promoted on TikTok—after we had already signed our contract. The branding centers exclusively on the bride and uses language that feels outdated and exclusionary to LGBTQ+ couples, grooms, nonbinary partners, and anyone who doesn’t see themselves reflected in that very traditional mold. Had the campaign existed when we were booking vendors, we likely would have gone in a different direction.
While the party itself was a blast, communication with our DJ was a little bumpy. He missed our final planning meeting, and on the wedding night, he told us dinner wouldn’t be served for another 45 minutes—which was incorrect and caused a spike of stress right before the evening’s main events. Thankfully, our coordinator was nearby and quickly cleared things up.
While we’re grateful that our guests had a great time, it would be hard to recommend EMG based on our overall experience and their current marketing direction. We sincerely hope they take this feedback to heart and work toward being more inclusive of all couples moving forward.
Couldn’t recommend more! We booked neon transit and absolutely loved them! Our guests were raving about their work all night
Jony was our event host for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. Everyone was dancing all night long, even during dinner people were up and dancing! Jony knew exactly how to set the vibe and how to entertain the crowd. Jony made sure to meet with us multiple times before the wedding to ensure everything we wanted came to life. So many of our guests complimented Jony and asked for his information. I highly recommend EMG, especially Jony. Working with EMG was so easy and so much fun.
The Gramercy (Elegant Music Group) brought the party! With the high-energy instrumentation of keys, a guitar, drums, and a DJ, and the authenticity of the original vocals/backing tracks of our favorite songs, The Gramercy brought something for everyone. We barely left the dance floor all night–and neither did our guests!
One of our favorite parts about the experience was working with Cesar. During our first meeting, Cesar got us started with EMG’s app, which really helped us plan and craft our key songs and timeline for the day. And when we met again to run through our selections, he really understood the feeling we wanted to curate, beyond ‘must-plays’ and our ‘do not play’ list. Cesar acted as our DJ and MC, and was an absolute all-star.
For our ceremony and cocktail hour, we had keys, and the vibes were perfect–romantic and thoughtful, and we’re so appreciative that they played a beautiful instrumental rendition of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros’ “Home” for our processional.
As the reception kicked off, Cesar hyped us all up, announced our special moments, and kept everything stress-free, working with us and the venue to make sure all our key moments ran smoothly. He was calm, thorough, and fun to work with–Cesar and The Gramercy even helped us pull off a fast-paced photo-blitz with 20 tables. It was something that could have been a stressful experience, but The Gramercy (along with our photographers and a couple of drunk cousins) made it a really fun experience.
As the night progressed, The Gramercy had everyone from our 90-year-old aunts to the pre-teen flower girls on the dance floor. They shifted from well-loved wedding classics to 90s/00s jams, working in our favorite pop-punk, alternative and hip-hop songs. The experience was complete with amazing guitar solos, soulful keys, and a badass drummer, while Cesar created mash-ups that kept us jumping until the last song–Shout–riotously played.
And while the dance floor raged on, the EMG Photo Booth allowed our guests to capture some of our favorite (and funniest) pictures from the night. We were happy to learn that The Gramercy plays alongside other EMG acts a couple times a year so that newly engaged couples and married couples alike can come and hear their music. We’ll continue to rock out with them (although now that we’re an old married couple, we’ll keep the head-banging to a minimum). We would recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible band.
Thank you, Gramercy!
Jony Kept Dance Floor Packed All Night!
EMG was a recommended vendor through our venue and they were amazing!! We had Jony as our DJ and he was amazing. Throughout the process he was very easy to work with and listened to our suggestions and music preferences. We love EDM, but knew we wanted to appeal to all, so we asked to mix in early 2000s and oldies. Jony did exactly what we asked for, and everyone loved it! The dance floor was packed all night.
We also added on piano for ceremony, sax for reception, and a photobooth. The piano songs we chose were all covers, and they were perfect. The sax was such a fun addition and everyone loved it. The photobooth was a hit and it was really fun to get an album with notes from our guests afterwards.
The communication and process with EMG was seamless and we can’t recommend them enough!
Thank you to our DJ, Jason Goldstein, his team, and the entire staff at EMG for making our wedding day amazing! From the initial demo to curating our cocktail hour & reception on their app to the details of lighting, special moments, and more, we are all thoroughly impressed! The music was the #1 thing we wanted to focus on and it was a huge hit! I strongly recommend having EMG as your entertainment for your special event or wedding. Their attention to detail is what made this part of our wedding fun and standout!
There are no amount of words to explain how much of a blessing it felt to have Electric Boulevard preform at our wedding.
Our philosophy was “as long as we have a good crowd, good drinks, and good music - it will be a great time.” But boy is there a difference between “good music” and excellent entertainment. It brought our wedding from a “great time” to an unforgettable time - for not just us, but for our guests. It’s been a month since our wedding, and our guests are still writing us raving about how much fun they had and how amazing our band was.
Leading up the wedding, Lavell made us feel calm and confident in the party we were planning. He was detail oriented, full of energy, and willing to talk through every question and thought I had (there were many). Lavell was patient with me. We had a unique taste in music and Lavell and the band were able to curate the most amazing lineup of songs for the night, everyone was on the dance floor.
If you are debating in, take this review as a sign to book Electric Boulevard. I promise you they will not disappoint. You will leave your wedding in awe of the time you had. Best decision ever.
We wanted a DJ with instrumentals for our wedding & when we found EMG, we knew they were exactly what we needed! Especially after our first Zoom meeting to inquire. They were attentive to what your needs were & honest about what services would be best. During our cocktail hour, we did keys & a sax-- absolutely tremendous for classy Sinatra vibes! For reception, we had a DJ (Jony) and a sax and trumpet on the dancefloor all night. This was the PERFECT hybrid situation! Jony was so amazing to work with. We had our last meeting with him the week of our wedding, which was great and allowed us to feel confident he was going to deliver what we wanted. He had legit ALL of our guests on the dancefloor the entire night. Everyone truly had so much fun because he read the room & played the music accordingly, based on our playlist, too. The sax & trumpet players were such an elegant touch, our guests loved it. The best part of EMG is the app they use for you to add all songs, notes, etc. for your entire day. It made the process seamless.
we used EMG for our wedding and had an absolute blast dancing the whole night! we are so happy we went with EMG. not only was the planning process smooth and fun with Jason and their app, we got so many compliments from friends and family how much fun they had. the dance floor was packed all night. Jason hit the right balance between music for the older crowd and the younger crowd. Jason was also on the mike the perfect amount. he didnt miss any of the annoucements we requested but also didnt talk too much and kept the music going. We also added on the string duo + keys for our ceremony and cocktail hour which we are so happy we did. it made our ceremony that much more beautiful and intimate and we got so many compliments on the live music too. thank you EMG! would recommend to anyone to use this company!
We wanted a hybrid DJ/musician situation and were happy to find EMG. We had an acoustic guitar for ceremony and cocktail hour, with a DJ and electric guitarist for the reception. We loved having the live music for the ceremony, it made the songs we picked really special for us. Bryan was our DJ and he absolutely crushed it! He was very professional and enthusiastic. Our dance floor was packed all night. We wanted a blend of 80s/90s/pop punk and he totally got what we were going for. Guests are still telling us how much fun they had dancing all night. The electric guitarist that played at the reception was good, but didn't get into or interact with the crowd, which I expected. It didn't change the vibe of the dance floor, but I would've preferred he was more involved. Overall, we’re very happy with EMG!
We hired EMG for our DJ and ceremony/cocktail hour musicians and were so impressed with how EASY everything was! Their planning app made it so easy to add do-not-plays, must-plays, and everything in between so the music was exactly what we wanted. Our DJ, Matty G, was so much fun. His enthusiasm was contagious and he did a great job reading the room. I rarely left the dance floor! Our ceremony/cocktail hour musicians were also absolutely fantastic. We had the string duo + keys and their arrangements were gorgeous. Overall, we were so happy with EMG’s services and professionalism.
We had our introductory meeting with Stephen, who was incredibly delightful and thoroughly explained the process and app. Upon signing, we enjoyed their new client night in Montclair, which affirmed our decision to go with EMG.
Our DJ, Shawn, was incredible. He understood the vibe we were going for immediately. Shawn was very attentive to us on our wedding day and went above and beyond as a DJ. He even captured great footage of our day! We decided to hire a saxophone player relatively last minute, and Justin did not disappoint. He and Shawn kept our dance floor alive all night.
We cannot recommend the EMG family enough.
We were blown away with EMG and how fun and spectacular they were!! Michael was super professional and understanding, and listened to our needs and everything was executed perfectly. He kept us informed of how our night would go and we appreciated that immensely. We were a little more unique as we wanted some video game music for our ceremony and our intro, but that was no problem at all! We hired violinists and harpist for our ceremony, jazz trio for our cocktail hour, and for the reception a DJ and Cityscape and the Park Avenue Horns, and they were all SO fun!!! My guests couldn't stop raving about the energy the band radiated and how engaging they were. We loved how they came onto the dance floor throughout the night to sing with guests! They even sang our First Dance song and it made my husband and I cry... absolutely hire EMG, they will keep your guests on the floor all night!! You can tell they absolutely love what they do. I also HIGHLY recommend getting the Air Photo Booth; that was a HIT at our wedding, it was crowded all night and you even get a guest book that guests can sign. Truly our best wedding investment!! We love EMG!
Everything about EMG was a highlight! After our first intro call we ended up getting invited to their warehouse for a night of drinks and entertainment about what they offer. Lucky for us we won the raffle and got a free photo booth station. While EMG themselves are an amazingly ran company with a cool group running it, Rob our DJ was really the highlight! We hired him to do the music for our reception where we customized our wedding dance song and he nailed it. We communicated to him that we our reception will be mostly of our friends and as a result want music that isn’t played on repeat at weddings. Myself as the bride wouldn’t get off the dance floor the whole night! Rob is an incredible DJ, incredibly professional and overall great personality to be the MC. Feel so lucky that we found EMG and were assigned him. Shortly after our wedding I recommended him to do my coworkers wedding. Thank you again Rob for making it such a memorable evening!
I would highly recommend EMG for your wedding or event. The live music for our ceremony & cocktail hour was such a beautiful touch. The DJ and sax player totally made our wedding complete! Communication was quick & easy.
To say our wedding guests were blown away by City Scape and the Park Avenue horns is such an understatement. The entire night and following days I received so many compliments for how phenomenal this band was. They were absolutely spectacular! Best wedding band I have ever seen! The energy, excitement and music was fantastic and they brought that level the entire night.
Each song they played only got better. After their first set of the night you looked around the room and just saw jaws on the floor for how amazing of a performance it was and it only got better. This is no ordinary wedding band. They are the most professional and talented group of individuals. Each song they played was unique, engaging and kept us on the dance floor the entire night. It was the perfect mix and had something for everyone!
This band loves what they do and you can tell almost immediately. Each performer and band member pours their heart into the performance guaranteeing an amazing night. We are so lucky we found this band! I could not have imagined our wedding day without them! They made our day so special and memorable. I am still in awe for how fantastic they were. From the amazing singers whos voices captured the guests, to the horns who engaged the audience and the guitars who absolutely killed it! We were dancing the entire night!
Leading up to our wedding, Michael, was so easy to work with. He took the time to listen and explain the night making it feel so tailored to who we were as a couple and what we wanted the night to feel like. He also was so professional during our wedding ensuring the bridal party was lined up, knew what to do and how to make the night flow so perfectly!
If you are looking for a wedding band look no further. I could not recommend them enough. If you want people on the dance floor all night book this band! if you want the most memorable night that people will talk about for a long time book this band! For any bride and groom looking for a band that kills every song book this band!
They were the best decision we made to make our wedding day the most special and spectacular day that we will remember forever.
We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the music for our reception and cocktail hour! We went with The Gramercy, a DJ/band combo, and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they kept the energy up and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted.
They were incredibly interactive with our guests, which really added to the fun. It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced.
Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with.
One highlight was when they played "Shipping up to Boston" and all of the Boston College alumni went crazy on the dance floor!
We had the best time, and the music made the night unforgettable. We can’t thank The Gramercy enough for helping us create such an incredible celebration!
Working with EMG for our wedding day was a dream start to finish. We utilized multiple elements from the EMG suite to create the perfect ambiance for our wedding. For entertainment, we had keys and sax for our cocktail hour, which created the perfect atmosphere for our guests. For our reception, we had a hybrid setup with Tom as our DJ and keys, sax, and drums. What a perfect combination! The live musicians were such a hit with our guests and elevated the entire experience. We also used the interior uplighting, digital seating chart, dance floor lights, after the final tone, and photobooth. Working with EMG is a guarantee of a perfectly executed experience and your guests will be on the dancefloor all night long! Can't express my gratitude enough to the entire EMG team for the professionalism, execution, and responsiveness throughout the entire experience. I am proud to say that I am an EMG Bride!
We had the best experience with EMG. We hired the hybrid band Riverside for our wedding and it was the best decision. They brought the dance floor energy all night. DJ Jason was our primary point person from Riverside and he was really fun and easy to work with - he made sure all of our "must plays" were played that evening and did an incredible job keeping the fun going all night through the after party. Highly recommend!
Elegant Music Group is amazing! We booked a string quartet for our ceremony / cocktail hour, and DJ Bryan Festa for our reception. The planning app EMG utilizes was super easy to use. We also had a planning meeting with Bryan a few weeks before the wedding, and had mentioned that we had heard a remix of Shivers by Ed Sheeran / Kiss Me Thru the Phone by Soulja Boy at a bar a long time ago but could not find it online anywhere. Bryan said he'd try to see if he could find it for our wedding. Not only did Bryan play this remix during our reception, but he told us afterwards that he made it himself and gave us a flash drive / email copy of the song. My husband said it was his favorite wedding gift! Clearly, EMG goes above and beyond for their clients. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the string quartet was, and how fun the DJ was. We highly recommend booking EMG for your wedding!
We had Matty G as our DJ for our wedding this past weekend at Liberty House. He was so easy to work with and on the day of the wedding he was a ton of fun. Everyone said they loved the music selection and Matty really brought all the genres and songs requested together in such a great way! I also had a photobooth through EMG and the pictures came out amazing, it was a hit! I cant recommend him and the rest of the team at EMG enough.
Our DJ Roderick and the team from EMG were outstanding!! The energy was so high throughout our entire event and our guests continually praised the music mixing, lighting, and photo station. Roderick went above and beyond to make sure everything was going perfectly throughout the night. EMG is very easy to work with, both before, leading up to, and during the wedding. The team truly surpassed out expectations and helped make our wedding day unforgettable!
Could not recommend EMG enough! The team at EMG was incredible throughout the process and great at answering all of our questions/answering quickly. Our DJ at the event was Jony Rahat - he was AMAZING. We met with Jony a couple of times leading up to the wedding and he understood our vision/vibe from the first meeting and the playlist that he curated could not have been better. Some of our guest have even asked us for the playlist! Our dancefloor was packed the entire night and we had a blast.
We had a great experience with EMG. We had a violinist playing during cocktail hour and DJ for the reception. Working with EMG leading up to the wedding was very smooth and professional. We appreciated the attention to detail that is given using the VIBO app to help ensure all aspects of the reception were covered in terms of music, announcements, and timeline. The violinist did a great job during cocktail hour playing acoustic versions of Ed Sheeran, Luke Combs, etc. Unfortunately, EMG would only supply a speaker to play the music outside as well for extra cost. Travis was our DJ and we felt he did a good job keeping people engaged and played a good variety of songs. Leading up to the wedding Travis met with us twice to get a sense of our music taste and work on timelines for the reception. Overall, we had a great experience with EMG!
We hired CityScape and the Park Avenue Horns for our wedding and they were more incredible than we ever imagined! It was the best night of our lives and the band made that happen! We have still been getting tons of compliments on how amazing the band was - everyone was dancing the entire time. Michael was amazing and so accomodating with our requests and he truly knew exactly what we wanted and made the night amazing! Every single person in the band was incredible and got out on the dance floor with the guests! I cannot recommend them enough!!
Frank did such a great job for our wedding day! From the moment we met frank he was very kind and made sure he had all details for the day. He played the music that we wanted and he also read the crowd on the dance floor. Our dance floor was always full of people dancing and enjoying. He always was very detailed with the song selections I had selected. I would love to use Frank again for future events.
Our wedding reception was a huge success thanks to our incredible DJ, Jony. He read the crowd perfectly and played the best music to keep everyone dancing and having a great time. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music and overall vibe. He also made the entire process leading up to the wedding so easy and stress free. Highly recommend for any special event!
We hired EMG for our cocktail music and reception music. For the cocktail hour, we had a duo of violin and keys. It was so great. Michael was so knowledgable and helpful when we were deciding which instruments to pick. We then had Travis as our DJ and EMC for the night and he was absolutely amazing. I have received so many compliments about how my wedding was so much fun, which was what I wanted it to be! He made sure the whole party was dancing the whole night. I had the best night of my life and it was definitely possible because of EMG!
Bryan was amazing! When we met him on our first zoom call to go over songs chosen, he was kind and helpful. Bryan went through each persons name and how to pronounce it correctly. We made a list of no play songs that we did not want to hear and he abided to that as well. The night of the wedding, Bryan was able to get and keep the dance floor full all night. Bryan did an amazing job of doing a mix of older music and current (exactly what we asked for). I recommend using Bryan 100%. In fact, my friend is using him for her upcoming wedding! Thank you, Bryan, for making our night amazing.
For entertainment, we picked EMG, specifically Bryan Festa as our DJ and two cocktail hour musicians, a guitarist and a pianist. Working with EMG was so smooth and easy due to the professionalism of each employee and their mobile App. Bryan was amazing and is such a talented musician. He was fun, accommodating, and crushed it all night long with minimal input or upfront work required from us. They just know what they are doing, and they do it extremely well.
TL;DR -- EMG was PERFECT and was THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR WEDDING! You should have ZERO concerns. If music is your priority, HIRE EMG. They WILL bring your vision to life, no matter what!
We hired Elegant Music Group (EMG) for our wedding, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. We found EMG online while specifically searching for a DJ-instrument hybrid. Their excellent reviews and extensive website/podcast content convinced me they were the right choice. Experienced, professional, and experts in the live/DJ combo, we chose the DJ plus two instruments—saxophone and drums—along with some extra dance floor lighting. Our DJ, Josuel, also acted as our event host throughout the night.
From the initial outreach to wedding day, EMG's professionalism was exceptional. Tom, Mike S., and Mike C. were responsive, structured, and clear in all communications, which made the planning process smooth. They provide an app where you can input all preferences and notes.
I am a big music fan and a control freak, so I had a very particular vision for the exact vibe I was looking for on wedding day. The month before the wedding, Josuel was willing to connect on multiple long phone calls and listen to every single one of my thoughts and special requests.
On the wedding day, EMG exceeded all expectations. They were punctual, well-prepared, and executed every one of my special music requests *perfectly*. I give much of this credit to Josuel. Josuel's ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night. With his mixing skills as a DJ, every song transition was seamless with zero downtime. Guests told me that it "felt like a concert" and that they "wanted to step out for a breather but he just kept playing bangers." The live saxophone and drum performances added a unique, high-energy touch that many of our guests praised, with some even reconsidering their own wedding plans after experiencing our entertainment. Anderson crushed it on the sax!
Even after the wedding, EMG went above and beyond by providing a detailed set list of every song played and a Spotify playlist of the entire event.
Overall, the entertainment was the highlight of our wedding, and I can't recommend Elegant Music Group (EMG) highly enough for their exceptional service and performance. Thanks, EMG!
I booked Elegant Music Group to be my String Quartet at my Church New Jersey December 2023 wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job! Walking down the aisle to the sound of their string quartet truly made me feel like a true princess! It made my fairy tale dreams come to true! In addition to the beautiful day of music, the consultation process prior to the day of was so smooth and I felt so supported! I booked EMG last minute before my wedding and they pulled off everything I wished! I do wish I had booked EMG to also be my DJ for my reception and if I could change anything for the day of my wedding, that would be it! EMG is an incredibly professional and talented group! They can come up with any kind of music or entertainment solution for your event – name an instrument, name a music genre and s tyle and they will figure it out for you! I would HIGHLY recommend EMG for ALL your music and entertainment wedding needs!
Matty and his assistant did an absolutely amazing job at our cocktail hour and reception this past weekend. The guests cannot stop talking about how great the music was. We couldn’t have done it without you guys!!
We had our wedding in Long Island 5/25/24. We selected EMG’s DJ hybrid band. Frank Tadros was our DJ and this music was augmented with additional live electric guitar, keyboard, and drums. Prior to our wedding, we utilized the EMG music app and hand-selected 70+ songs we wanted to hear throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and on the dance floor. Frank impressively crafted the dance party we had envisioned - think a blend of Pitbull, 90s pop, 70s dance funk music, and popular Arabic songs. The music was a hit and everyone was on the dance floor before appetizers.
Frank himself was incredibly warm, attentive, and personable. In fact, Frank checked in with us throughout the night to gauge the music variety balance. Most impressively, Frank was very flexible as we had to change the order of events during the night with speeches and dances. On the fly, he was able to adjust the order of events and music. From the outside, it was seamless and a flawless production.
Finally, we utilized the photo booth, which our guests loved. The quality of photos was excellent and not only were guests able to take physical copies, but we were also given a digital copy of all our guests’ photos.
As a whole, we couldn’t have asked for a better group than EMG. EMG are true professionals. And if you want a music production group to bring the hype to your wedding, we strongly recommend EMG. Thanks so much!
I highly recommend Elegant Music Group, Cesar Hurtado & The Gramercy! EMG made us feel apart of the family right away and invited us to a wonderful "new client" night. It was a great way to meet the team and hear about some additional options including lighting, guest book, and graphic design offerings. The EMG app was AMAZING - from the moment we booked we could add music ideas and timeline details. Cesar was incredible to work with throughout the whole process. He worked with us to edit together our first dance & parent dance songs so they matched the length and content of exactly what we wanted. Throughout the evening, The Gramercy & Cesar were on point - seamlessly weaving through different genres and keeping the dance floor packed. The unique hybrid experience was something our guests raved about. It was an incredible evening and we can't thank EMG, Cesar & The Gramercy enough!
We are so happy that we worked with EMG for our wedding. From start to finish, they were attentive and extremely professional. Their app made it so easy to choose our music. Shout out to Adam because he had our dance floor going the WHOLE night, and perfectly hit the vibe we were going for. We got so many compliments from our guests about the music. We highly recommend them!
The Gramercy delivered above and beyond our expectations for our wedding reception! Caesar was easy to work with, communicative, and brought our vision to life to make our wedding reception unforgettable. The hybrid-band style was one that not many of our guests were familiar with going into the reception, but it was the talk of the night with rave reviews from guests of all ages! Caesar was able to fuse our specific music taste with The Gramercy style and our dance floor was never empty! Thank you, Caesar and The Gramercy, for an awesome experience and for making our wedding day so special!
My husband and I got married in March of this year. We had Cesar and The Gramercy as our entertainment for the night and they were absolutely incredible. Our guests loved the hybrid DJ/band combo, and we continued to get rave reviews about our entertainment long after the wedding was over. From the time we first reached out to EMG, all the way up until to our wedding night, everything was seamless. They are so easy to communicate with, were quick to answer any and all questions we had, and they are truly so talented at what they do. Special shoutout to Cesar for being such a phenomenal DJ/MC. He truly exceeded our expectations and did not miss a single detail. We would absolutely recommend EMG and The Gramercy for anyone looking to have the most amazing time at their wedding :)
We had a wonderful experience with EMG for our recent wedding. We had Travis as our DJ/MC and also rented lighting/photo booth from them. The planning process was super smooth thanks to an app they provide allowing you to input your general timeline and playlist. Travis was super friendly and easy to get in touch with; he reached out several times before the day of to make sure he had everything right. On the wedding night, he checked in with us regularly throughout the evening to make sure everything was going the way we wanted and kept us right on schedule. His DJ mix was great and kept the party going all the way to the end of the reception. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and easy to work with DJ!
EMG was AMAZING to work with as the entertainment professionals for our April 2024 Wedding. The owners are down-to-earth and are very knowledgeable about the music and entertainment industry. All employees of the company were super responsive to emails and special requests. They provide you with an App to personalize the music and sequence of events which was one of the main reasons why my husband and I chose to work with this entertainment vendor initially- we love to party and had the ability to choose exactly what we wanted in terms of music and flow of our reception. We chose to hire a DJ for our event and added a saxophonist to complement the music played——BEST DECISION!! Our guests are still raving about this, and our dance floor was never empty. Austin (our DJ) was super talented, kind, and went above and beyond for us. He let my husband (a former DJ in his past life haha) have a quick moment to jump behind the booth—one of the highlights of our reception. Austin is seriously THE BEST!!! We 100% recommend EMG to all couples looking for an amazing wedding reception experience.
EMG has a stellar staff who are accommodating to every need, super friendly, and clear communicators! Jony, our DJ for the night, completely tore the venue down. We had people ages 15 to 100 at our wedding and they were all up and dancing. People were reaching out to us weeks after the wedding to tell us how great the entertainment team was. Would highly recommend using EMG for your wedding or next event!
Austin & the EMG Team were the best!!! We got married on Star Wars Day (May 4, 2024) and they embraced the theme completely, from entrance music into the reception, to the screens having our names in the Star Wars logo! They were very responsive, and really wanted to make sure we had the best day ever!
The Gramercy (hybrid DJ and band) were truly incredible!! They brought our vision to life and kept us and our guests dancing all night long! They brought our ceremony to life with the keys, kept the reception flowing seamlessly with announcements and transitions, and kept everyone on their feet all night long! They have an app that allows you to plan all in one place, thinking of things we hadn’t even thought of! HIGHLY recommend!!
Matty and the team at Elegant Music Group were a dream to work with for our wedding on April 12, 2024. We ended up going with a hybrid live music/DJ set up because we wanted the feel of the DJ for after dinner dancing, but the romance and softness that comes with live musicians. The vibes were perfect and personal on our wedding day.
Not only that, but the entire process from booking to execution was easy and stress-free. They have this wonderfully organized app that allowed us to be hands on with the areas of the day that we wanted while also allowing the EMG team some creative control over areas that weren't a high priority for us. Matty was patient with us and malleable as our day got closer and gave us some incredible advice - reminding us to take a moment together as the day gets closer to just step back from the stress. He was so easy and wonderful to work with. Absolutely 100% recommend this group for all wedding music needs, we cannot thank EMG & Matty enough for making our day everything that we didn't even know we wanted!!
We just had my daughters wedding this past weekend at Hudson House in Jersey City. We hired Neon Transit which is a hybrid band of a DJ and musicians and we could not have made a better choice. The room was rocking from beginning to end and everybody at the party said they never saw a dancefloor so packed. We met with them several times and they played exactly the music we wanted them to play. Yanko was very very patient and very attentive to detail. In fact I have friends in Florida who are throwing weddings over the next year and they are inquiring if they could fly them to Florida to play at their children’s weddings. I have gotten text after texts and phone call after phone call of the unbelievable party that we had and I couldn’t thank neon transit enough for making it the wedding of the century. Thank you so much!!!!!
Unforgettable dance party! DJ Adam had the dance floor packed with his amazing mix of American and Indian music, and so many of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to. It was the best night ever! We are incredibly grateful to DJ Adam for his outstanding performance and for contributing to the unforgettable memories we will cherish forever.
EMG was incredible to work with from day 1. They are beyond organized, are so quick with responses, and they made our wedding day stress free! The app that they use as a planning tool is so helpful - being able to upload all of your music selections directly from Spotify made it so easy and kept everything organized. Chano was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! We had a very extensive "do not play" list and he was more than happy to work with us to make sure we had all of the music we wanted played while also reading the room and playing for our crowd. No one left the dance floor the entire night during the reception or the after party! We decided to go hybrid and have some musicians play alongside of Chano and it was an absolute hit with our guests! We are so happy we booked EMG for our wedding - we would not change a thing!
We used EMG for our wedding back in October and had an incredible experience! The team is incredible responsive, kind, and detailed! They also have so many incredible options- which is why they were an easy vendor for us to go forward with!
We hired two live musicians- a pianist and violinist- for our ceremony and cocktail hour- WOW. They not only played every song beautifully, but they also added an incredible touch to our day.
Jony Rahat was an amazing DJ and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long for our ceremony! It was important to us to play music for EVERYONE and he did just that. We also had a photobooth- which was a HUGE hit. It was seamless and our guests got to leave with beautiful photos- and we got copies of all of them!
Run and book Elegant Music Group right now. Our guest are still raving about the entertainment and specifically DJ Matty G and the sax player that accompanied him.
From the moment we signed on with EMG, we started building our music selections and playlists in the App. I would hear a song on the radio and add it to the App so I wouldn’t forget. It was so easy! I was able to put notes in the App to build out the evening (ie how parents and bridal party are announced). When we met with Matty a month or so before, we went over the whole night in detail. It was terrific and put me at ease. Between that call and our final call the week of the wedding, Matty was so accessible via email. He even had his colleague Jonny help with creating photo slideshows for us to display on TV screens. It was all so organized and easy! Oh, and fun!
The evening of while my husband and I were in the bridal suite during cocktail hour, Matty came in to tell us one of the TV display monitors mount wasn’t functioning properly. No fault of anyones. He gave us 2 options for a solution, and the option we chose was absolutely perfect- no distribution or issues at all. That Monday, 2 days later, the GM of EMG called me and not only apologized and reimbursed us (within hours) for the TV that did not work night of, but he also added on some additional funds to return to us so we could go out to dinner. I was floored. That is service!!! Matty also made sure that if he had a question about something he was announcing the night of, he checked with me or my Day of Coordinator. I appreciated that so much! EMG was really truly out of this world. Our guests are still raving about the music and we’re still thinking about how much fun we had dancing the night away! Do yourself a favor and book EMG and ask for Matty G! They will be sure it is a night you’ll never forget!!!
We also used the following services:
Social station (photo booth)
Hedge wall
Uplighting
Sparkler fountains
Sax and Keys at cocktail hour
Sax with DJ for reception
Media display screens (TVs)
They also kindly hung up out neon sign on our hedge photo booth wall.
AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about this company. From the moment you request a quote, their staff is extremely helpful and hands on. They made the planning process very clear and easy.
We had Jony for our wedding and the music was so great ! Our dance floor was packed the entire night-Jony really captured our music taste and personalities. The music was amazing. I will be recommending him and this company to everyone I know !!
Elegant Music Group is a pleasure to work with! The overall experience from our first meeting, to using the app for song selections, all the way up to our wedding day was always very professional and enjoyable. We had Adam as our DJ and he was so sweet and fun! We gave him some suggested songs and he ran with it, making it the best party ever! Myself, my husband, and most of our guests did not leave the dancefloor! Everything I requested of Adam he happily did, and I felt absolutely no stress the day of the wedding! I also think it's really nice when a DJ takes the time to learn everyone in your wedding party's names and how to say them correctly. Thank you for making our wedding day so amazing!
Working with Elegant Music Group was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The planning process was made easy by meeting with the team and through their planning app/website. Having these tools allowed us to see the night's plan in advance and any changes made in real time. I'm so happy we chose to work with Tom Gambuzza! He made all of our requests a reality and the night was so enjoyable. We danced all night and of our guests had an amazing time; one even said they'd write a review as a guest because the music was so great, which made the night so much fun. We loved how Tom and EMG made our personalities shine through with our music choices, which really allowed the night to feel like us. Looking forward to using Elegant Music Group and Tom again in the future!
It was such a pleasure working with Elegant Music Group - from the initial call with Michael, to picking our songs on the app, to meeting Matty G and finally having an epic dance party at our wedding! Matty was such a professional - he listened to our ideas and executed everything flawlessly. We also had Bonez as our percussionist and Anderson on the saxophone. Together, Matty, Bonez and Anderson delivered a memorable and incredibly fun evening for our guests. Truly a job well done!
The EMG staff was lovely and responsive, from our onboarding call to the last-minute technical questions. But the real star of the show, for us, was DJ Matty G.
Matty DJed our wedding in September, and he not only met our expectations but went far above and beyond what we would reasonably expect from anyone. He was friendly and easy to get along with; he understood our timeline and kept the party moving; he easily made adjustments/vamped when the groom's sister got stuck in a room (literally) and was running late for her speech; he gladly reordered our reception bridal party entrance after the ceremony; and he cheerfully let me (the bride) change my father-daughter dance song at the last minute (an actual 30 seconds before we entered the reception room). He knew when the energy on the dance floor was waning and what songs would pump some life back into it. When the reception was over, Matty was off the clock and packing up, and we were setting up karaoke for our after party, I realized I forgot to bring one of the cables for my own speakers. Matty came over, asked what was wrong, and dug into his already-packed-up gear to find the cable I needed. He said to keep it, that it wasn't a big deal for him to get another. Our savior!
THANK YOU, Matty and EMG, for making our day and night an exceptionally good one. To anyone considering hiring them, I encourage you to do it. And if you have the option of working with Matty, TAKE IT. You won't regret it!
We had an amazing experience with EMG and Electric Boulevard for our wedding at Perona Farms in Aug 2023. Electric Boulevard was the highlight of our wedding. The bands overall energy, talent, and performance had all of the guests on the dance floor for the entire night. They had such a wide range of songs they performed appeasing to every guest. EMG and Lavell were so professional and made the entire planning process so easy. They are hands down the best band I’ve ever experienced at a wedding. Would highly recommend EMG and would especially recommend Electric Boulevard if you want your guests blown away and dancing all night!!
MATTY G! We hired EMG for our wedding that was back in May and we are so happy we did! We had Matty G as our event host for both cocktail hour and reception music. He did such a great job! The whole process was so organized and Matty listened to exactly what we wanted and was so professional. On all of our calls he had such a great energy and my husband and I really felt like he understood the vibe we were going for and he executed it perfectly day off. He even came over to my husband and I a few times during the night to make sure we were good with how things were going which we thought was so amazing and thoughtful. Everyone was talking about how much they loved the music after our wedding and our guests were dancing all night! We highly recommend EMG!
DJ Adam was incredible. He worked with us to great a perfect musical experience through out the ceremony and reception. He listened to every request we had. The music was amazing, lighting was perfect, introductions exactly what we wanted.
I could not recommend him enough. The whole day was great and Adam and EMG were a huge part of it and can not thank them enough.
If you're torn between a DJ and a band, book EMG! We absolutely loved doing a hybrid option where we had a DJ in addition to live guitar and drums. It made the whole evening feel so much more fun to get live music while still hearing the artists' voices that we like. I mean, if you want Whitney Houston songs at your wedding, you need to have Whitney Houston's voice! Tom was an incredible MC and their app to help plan the music was very easy. They were hands down the less stressful vendor we worked with! We chose to have live piano during the ceremony and DJ for cocktail hour, which was a great way to go as well. Everyone raved about the music the entire night!
You need to book EMG for your wedding right now! I just got married on 9/23/2023 and thanks to our DJ Frank, our dance floor was packed the entire night with guests of all ages! The planning process was honestly so easy; they use an app to help guide the music for all the different parts of the wedding from the ceremony, cocktail hour, introductions, reception, cake cutting, etc. We met with Frank twice before the wedding to go over all the details - we didn't feel the need to contact him outside of those meetings because everything was so organized and we trusted him to take care of us (which he did). He seamlessly incorporated my family's cultural influences into our wedding music, which I loved so much! Thank you EMG for making our wedding night incredible!!
Even before I got engaged I knew I wanted to book EMG for our wedding because my sisters had also used EMG for their weddings and both DJs were incredible. My wedding was no different. Adam was so easy to work with and he made our wedding so much fun! The music was fantastic, and guests of all ages were able to dance and have a great time. I thought he perfectly incorporated my husband's tastes (country and classic rock) with my own (pop/top 40 music). I highly reccomend booking EMG!!
