Elegant Music Group

derstood our music taste. The EMG app is AWESOME -- you are able to upload specific versions of your desired songs from Spotify/YouTube/etc, and you can even invite guests which made it fun and interactive for our immediate family. On the day of the wedding, Bryan really kept the dance floor moving. We actually purchased some dance floor props on our own -- light up cowboy hats. Bryan had the great idea to distribute them during the only country song we had put on our "must play" list... it made that moment so memorable!!! Afterwards, we got sooooo many compliments about how our DJ really catered to everyone at the wedding, not just one specific age group of people. I would choose EMG and Bryan Festa over and over again. Thank you so much Bryan and all of EMG!

at people left the dance floor. I knew we had to have him for our wedding too, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Before the day, Bryan listened and asked questions to get to know our individual tastes and the vibe we wanted to create for our party. He uses an app that helps you choose songs and create an outline of the night, so that he knows what you want to announce and when. Other than that, he doesn’t fill up your dance time with talking. He is so respectful of the music and what makes a good party. Once you meet with him, you will know that he is someone who knows what he’s doing, and you can trust him to play what will give you your best party! The night of our wedding, he played our “must plays” and respected our “do not plays.” We also gave him the flexibility to be artistic. He paid attention to what we asked for, and he is able to read the room and see what makes people get up and dance, and then he uses that to keep the party going all night. My friends can not stop talking about how well the songs were mixed and how great Bryan was at keeping the energy up! You won’t find a better DJ and, more importantly, a wonderful person to work with. Thank you for the most fun dance party!

e WHOLE night. Yanko was fantastic at reading the room. We are still getting compliments on the music!! I wish we could do this every weekend!!

idea of the vibe we wanted and he and the band nailed it perfectly. We did not leave the dance floor the entire night. Remy and Sam are incredible singers, and the whole band was interactive with our guests and played something for everyone. They were without a doubt the highlight of our entire wedding!

were played. Aside from that, Yanko was great at reading the room and kept the dance floor packed all night. We received so many compliments on the music and everyone had a wonderful time! I cannot recommend EMG more for any event!

y are still talking about how good our DJ was. We recommend them 10000%!

was exactly what we'd hoped for! Tom made sure all of our guests danced the night away even with a competing sunset view of the NYC Skyline. Our guests had so many compliments about how great the music was and that it was playing all night long. Tom and EMG were an incredible team, we are so glad they were apart of our wedding day!

h Austin who took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for and happily made adjustments on the fly. We added a speech last minute, as well as asked him to cut the mother-son dance song after one minute with a faster paced song as something fun and funny- (literally asked this right before the bridal party walked into the reception) and he was like "Heck, yeah! Lets do it!". It was such a great experience and we received so many compliments from friends and family about how great the music was all night. He kept everyone up and dancing all night long. I can't say enough positive things about Austin and EMG!

out to him for their wedding day in 2023! From the initial consultation, I knew Bryan was for us. He has an energetic, kind personality that you will be instantly drawn to and we clicked with him from the start. Bryan was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process and never made me feel like my likely very silly questions were silly. He is incredibly helpful and patient. EMG’s music form that you complete for to your wedding is very user friendly and Bryan set up time prior to our wedding to ensure everything was perfect and to ensure he knew exactly how to pronounce everyone’s names. Our dance floor was PACKED the entire night down to the very last minute where everyone was chanting one more song. We didn’t want the night to end! Look no further, you have found the best of the best for your wedding with Elegant Music Group. Thank you Bryan for making our wedding night so much fun, you are the best!!!!

other requests. Overall, we enjoyed working with EMG

rice goes, but they were worth every cent. We had the pianist play the ceremony, including special arrangements for both brides to walk down the aisle and accompaniment for a song my brother sang midway through the ceremony. We then had a jazz trio for the cocktail hour before bringing out the full band for the reception. Caleb was our MC: he introduced the brides, played our first dance, called tables to dinner, announced the cake cutting and bouquet toss, and even handed over the mic to me and my wife--I sang a song with the band, and she played a jazz tune on her trombone. Overall they were super receptive to our requests for special music as well as great at pacing out a setlist for the entire evening. Our guests ended the night clamoring for an encore (the band obliged) and dancing to the very end of the party.

we so needed. Being that we were planning and coordinating everything ourselves, I could rest easy knowing that the flow of the evening (and timing with the catering) was well taken care of. Matty was so so sweet, attentive, and quite honestly one of the most generous spirits I have ever met. He made me feel like I was family. On a more fun note, the live music add-ones were such a great choice! The live drummer, electric violin, and live guitar ROCKED!!! The dance- floor was packed all night! My godmother called me the next day to tell me she almost went into cardiac arrest she was dancing and jumping so much! Even my 90 year old great-aunt was magnetically pulled to the music, wow!!! Message to future brides- the one financial splurge of your wedding should be EMG. Hands down. They made our party and also made EVERYTHING run flawlessly. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Matty bless you, I will forever be in your debt.

troductory call with Michael was so informative and easy. They just genuinely want to help and inform couples (see their podcast!) and their transparency was one of the main reasons we booked them. We also liked their app, which allowed us to add songs we want played. It made things really easy because we could add them on the fly when we heard or remembered a song we liked. They also have a lot of offerings and we were able to customize our package to fit our budget. We went the DJ route and had Kenny on our day, who was amazing throughout the whole planning process. He answered all our questions in a timely manner and was very focused and organized during our calls. And he even helped my husband plan a surprise serenade which was awesome!! On the day, he kept everything on schedule and our guests were on the dance floor all night! We love EMG and totally recommend them!

ointed. Early on, we selected our DJ Kenny. They use a cool app where you can select your favorite music that you would like them to play at your wedding. This also helps them get to know your style up front. Through EMG I also had a violinist and keyboardist for my ceremony, as well as the keyboardist and a saxophonist for the cocktail hour. I kept watching the videos of their musicians and DJ combo and decided to add the saxophonist to the DJ music for the ceremony. As time went on, I added the drummer and did the Mirror photobooth. It was all money well spent. The musicians were all top notch. The DJ/live music combo was outrageous. I can't say enough about it. People were thinking I had a band but they weren't sure because it sounded like the actual singer. That hybrid went over really well. People loved it. Kenny was a great host. He met with us about two times prior to the wedding to go over things. Day of the wedding, he did a great hosting job and played a mix of the songs we requested in the app, as well as his own picks, which were on point. I was on the fence about getting a photobooth because I'm not big into it but I knew they are crowd pleasers, so I decided to go for it. I went with the Mirror Air booth. I thought that was pretty cool because it is just this giant mirror, so you can load up with a bunch of people in the pic and see yourself to make sure you have a good shot. People loved it. I thought it was so cool. They even gave me an album at the end with a bunch of the pics that the guests put in the book with a personal message, which was awesome. Michael told me they will be sending a link with all the pictures taken from that day that I can't wait to see. All in all, I was more than satisfied with the total package. I thought everything was great and well worth the price. Most of all, my guests loved the music and the Mirror Air booth. So many people told me it was the best wedding they have ever been to, which is a combination of the venue, the music and the photobooth. I give EMG 5 Stars. I am so glad that I went with them,

em request songs as well. The pre-meetings we had with Kenny were very organized and helpful. Kenny did an amazing job of transitioning between songs and reading the vibe of the crowd throughout the night. Everyone had a blast and the dance floor wasn’t empty the entire night! We highly recommend EMG and Kenny!

e) and it felt like we were talking to a friend. Unfortunately, Bryan couldn't end up doing our wedding because it fell during his honeymoon but it was all ok. We met with Tom and were immediately reassured that we were still in good hands. It just showed us even more how great of a company EMG is. They go above and beyond for their clients. Tom was super thorough in the meetings leading up to our wedding day which made us feel comfortable in him basically running the entire day (EMG handled our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception). We were not disappointed the day of. Tom handled everything with a calmness about him and was so fun during the reception. Our guests raved about the mixture of music! Highly recommend EMG!!

cing the entire night! They helped make our wedding absolutely perfect. Caleb was so great to work with leading up to the wedding. He was always available when we needed him, and was willing to take all my requests and learn new music that made their performance so special to us. I cannot recommend Hyde Park and Elegant Music Group enough!! Working with them will ensure that you will have the best party of your life.

leo on electric guitar!), and we were delighted that they were able to play the specific (somewhat eclectic) songs that we requested. Jon Missonellie absolutely killed it as our DJ. We had a long list of specific songs that we wanted to hear during our reception (including some medleys), and he delivered on our requests! He nailed the timing for our first dance song and helped us turn a surprise outfit change / re-entrance into a turn-up dance party. Throughout the evening, he kept the good vibes flowing, and we had a blast letting loose with our family and friends. We would recommend EMG to anyone for whom music is a priority!

ich was right in the height of changing COVID guidelines and all that uncertainty – but Tom & EMG were so accommodating and understanding to how we wanted to restructure our day the way we did. They were totally along for the ride and we are forever grateful for this! Our day would not have felt so “normal” if it wasn’t in part due to their flexibility, creativity, and expertise. On top of all of that, when we first met Tom, we probably looked like a deer in headlights – we didn’t want your typical NJ blowout experience, and he could read that from the start. Again with the professionalism, but also so kind, and also ultimately got really invested in building our perfect soundtrack for the day. What more can you ask for? It was a pleasure to work with Tom and even more so to see how they are continually adapting everything they offer for their couples. Incredible work.

ed to our music list Wants and Don't Wants and our reception party was nonstop fun! Our venue was tricky in that there were 3 separate spaces and so they had to manage a lot of traffic throughout the night. Jon & Frank did an excellent job with seamlessly transitioning between the 3 spaces. We would recommend EMG to anyone!

utely insane. Our guests still cannot stop raving about our DJ and how he just kept spinning one after the next after the next. He hands down made our wedding a huge party with a dance floor that was always full, and that was exactly what we wanted! He was so easy to work with and has a great energy in all planning meetings and convos. We are so grateful we went with Bryan! We also used EMG for our ceremony music/cocktail hour and had a string and piano duo. They were fantastic! I wanted more of a Bridgerton vibe where they would play some current songs mixed in with some recognizable classics and they did just that. They are so talented! Our ceremony music had a mix of Dan + Shay, Elvis Presley, the Proclaimers and more.. they nailed every single one. We loved the ambiance they brought to our day. We absolutely recommend getting the dance floor lighting and uplighting! Lighting is not always top of mind, but can really enhance a space and add to the energy of the dance floor. We went with the amber uplights for more of a natural look and the Tier ll dance floor lights. The dance floor lights spin around the floor, so it feels more like a night club later in the night. It was absolutely perfect. That was one thing I remember about our wedding that I don't remember anyone else having at theirs. We're waiting for our pics and can't wait to see the energy EMG captured! Thank you EMG! You guys are truly amazing at what you do! So glad we chose you for our day!

t day was very welcoming and professional, and also personable. We had Matty as our DJ and event host for our big night, and I have to say he absolutely killed it! Matty had the dance floor packed on the first song of the night! A true testament to the experience Matty brings to the table. We gave Matty a variety of genres that we like and the overall mood we were going for, and he put together a great playlists for the night that had everyone on the dance floor all night long. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about what a great time they had and how much fun it was, and my wife and I credit Matty with creating an atmosphere that was exactly what we had envisioned, and for being able to read the room so well and know how to keep people going. We are forever grateful for EMG and Matty for everything they did for us and would recommend them a million times over to anyone looking for a DJ or event host.

g planning process, answering emails in a timely fashion (which I so appreciated and was very rare from other vendors), I even bugged him on questions not even related to his DJ services and ceremony music and he would still be helpful! He took the time to zoom with us and really get to know us as a couple in order to come up with a unique track list just for us. I have people still reaching out to me to tell me how amazing he was at the after party. Honestly, could not recommend enough!!

options for items we were stuck on)! Everyone had a great time and loved that he kept the party going throughout the wedding (especially when my husband and I had to step away for evening photos)!

of the things we wanted to include in our wedding. First and most important to us was the band. We were so lucky to snag Hudson Heights! They did an incredible performance and were so kind to let my Father-in-law join the band for 4 songs! No request was too big or too small for them and I truly appreciate how special they made our day. We also had EMG take over our lighting needs and Photo Booth. We loved both! The uplighting was a great touch (candlelight was a great choice). It made the large venue space feel warm and inviting. The Photo Booth was a hit for everyone, especially since we went with the ring light option that had an easy to use feature that sends the photos directly to your phone. They best part is you can see everyone's photo so we got to see moments and people get together in photos that we missed in the whirlwind of the night! Highly recommend EMG and Hudson Heights for anyone looking for a good time and personalized experience. Thank you for making our special day such a dream.

a hit and they didn’t wanna get off the dance floor and miss it. We cannot thank EMG enough!!!! We have so many people requesting your contact information!! You were truly AMAZING!!! We will be recommending you to everyone!!!! You truly made our special day perfect!!

b of calming my nerves and making us feel confident about our music choices while throwing in his expertise. Their app made it so easy to suggest songs and upload important info (like the wedding party names and order). I would definitely hire EMG again and recommend them to everyone I know.

later how awesome the music was! From ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, he had the perfect set up and listened to any requests we had. You will not be disappointed!

party going, helped with our timing of events for the night as well!

all night and incorporating both Greek and Latin music which was important to us. Highly recommend!

s. We were so impressed the day of the wedding how he ran the show and kept our bridal party in check to make sure everyone was hitting their cues. And the music! Incredible - got everyone up and dancing on their feet. We asked for a change the day of the wedding to transition to more dance / club music to really get the crowd going and Matty delivered like a true pro. We’re so thankful to Matty and the EMG team for making our wedding one to remember!

eel empty. Frank got all of our guests on their feet and everyone raved about the music! It was the most fun party and my husband and I couldn’t be happier!

planning process. COVID left us with an incredibly stressful wedding planning process, but EMG never contributed to that stress. Each date we had, we were provided with a talented DJ to work with, as well as musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour. With our final date we were able to work with Bryan. Bryan met with us and ensured that he worked in every aspect of our personality when it came to music for our day. We have a wide range of music taste and throughout the night each of those was worked in flawlessly. We also let Bryan know that this was the first big event our families were attending after COVID and we wanted it to be a high energy fun night- Bryan delivered 10x over on this request. All our guests were dancing the entire night, we are still getting compliments. Everyone can not express enough how much fun they had, and we keep hearing that it was the best wedding anyone has been too. Our guitar and violin musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour provided such an elegant touch to the day, I would highly recommend adding musicians into your day. EMG is an amazing company to work with, the team is fun and personable- Thank you Bryan and EMG for creating the energy for an incredible night!

l and brought such electric energy, but there was no detail left uncovered when it came to making everything perfect for our day. He was there every step of the way, answered every question we had and made sure every request was on top of mind. My husband and I, along with our friends and family are HUGE dancers so music was extremely important to us. While we provided a fairly specific but eclectic playlist and could not wait to see what Tom would do with it, we also had full trust Tom truly had a pulse on the type of energy we wanted to be felt. Let me just say, HE BLEW US AWAY! Our families and friends are still talking about the perfect mix Tom created as the soundtrack for our most special day. He took every single word we said to him about our who we were, what we like and what we wanted and completely ran with it and owned it. His attention to detail and ability to read the room, were extremely precise and made for the most enjoyable and fluid experience. Tom- we CANNOT thank you enough, you are truly outstanding!!!

honestly say that he was the best DJ I've seen at the many weddings I've attended and I'm thrilled that we were able to have him at ours.

h EMG and the hostess/lead vocalist of Hudson Heights, Eden was a pleasure! Eden helped me choose specialty songs for entrances, cake cutting, first dances, and other fun little acts. She helped us stay on schedule through the night also. Her energy and enthusiasm had more than half of our 150 person crowd on the dance floor for the very first song!! And that’s when we knew that it was going to be a great night :) as we go through pictures and videos of the night, it is obviously that all of our guests had an amazing time at our wedding. The next morning, we hosted a brunch for our guests, and it was no surprise that most conversations mentioned the band and how amazing the entertainment was. I can honestly say that Hudson Heights really brought the fun, and our wedding would not have been as fun without the group!

cocktail hour, and the reception. We also booked our photo booth with them, which made things very easy to organize. I didn't leave the dance floor the whole night! If you're on the fence about having a band or a DJ, go with this option and get BOTH!

Russian music with today's music mixed with 90's and 00's classics and loud fist pumping jams. Not only did Matty and Yanko deliver, they took the time to listen to tons of our music, curate the perfect blends and kept the party dancing all night. It's not easy to keep a wedding during covid of 61 people dancing all night and pumping with energy but they did just that. You guys truly made our wedding a never ending party. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are forever a part of us.

caught my husband's attention. As soon as we booked with him, he was working to understand our music styles and what we needed from him to make our dream wedding a reality. He communicates with you on various different occasions, to add songs to parts of our wedding as they came to mind. He has two really helpful tools which helped us plan our music. They created an ap, where we were able to choose a song under the part of the wedding we wanted it for. We also worked on a form which helped us navigate through the specifics of the night. Our favorite thing about Elegant Music Group is that they didn’t ask for a list of 400 songs. Tommy said tell me about you, what music you like, the crowd that will be at your wedding and together we'll create an idea of what music should be played and when. When the wedding came around we couldn’t get enough compliments on our music selections and how the music targeted all ages and preferences. Elegant Music Group was so personal with us and they truly cared about what we wanted for our wedding!

wrapping up) I would highly recommend Matty and the folks at EMG to everyone. You won't regret it!

et everyone out of their seats, whether joining at the center of the dance floor or dancing by their seat/tables! Everyone had so much fun, and loved all the music he played! At the end of the night, our event coordinator loved Austin so much, he asked for EMG's contact information to add they as a preferred/recommended vendor for the venue for go forward weddings. He was so awesome and I cannot recommend EMG and Austin enough. They also stuck through us constantly checking in during/throughout our postponement, all the way up to the day of! They truly are a great company/business and sincerely care about you as a person! I cannot recommend EMG enough, such a great company and really know how to keep a party moving all night long!

asking us how we were feeling and what he could do to help. They kept our energy up and really contributed to making the night incredible!

dding and wow did we make the right decision! We were originally booked with Tommy, but switched to Matty due to change of plans from Covid and availability. Throughout the whole process, EMG was patient, kind, and understanding. All the guys there work as a family and are all respectful of one another, so the switch was no problem at all! Matty was absolutely amazing. He is was so fun and upbeat! He zoom called with us a few times before the wedding to make sure everything was on track and all our needs were being met. On the day of our wedding, he was beyond on top of it. He kept everything on schedule and checked in with us several times throughout the night to make sure everything was going as planned and to see if we had any special requests. Most importantly, Matty kept us DANCING!! We told Matty that we wanted music that everyone could dance to. We wanted some oldie classic music, but also some today’s hits, and Matty did it all, seamlessly might I add! We had such a wonderful night, filled with dancing and laughs, thanks to Matty. We will most certainly be booking with them again for future events!! Thank you EMG and DJ Matty!!

to read the crowd and keep the party going!! 10/10 recommend!!!

d in with us to make sure we were having a good time! We saw everyone out on the dance floor during our big day! We can’t wait to recommend EMG to our family and friends!

song selection, and his enthusiasm about our list only affirmed the choice. On the wedding day, Bryan did not make a single misstep, every song choice was perfect, the party was vibrant the whole night, and even now over a week after our wedding, guests keep telling us how amazing our DJ was. Couldn’t recommend Bryan and Elegant Music Group enough!

oup exceeded every expectation and kept our guests dancing all night long.

best possible hands with Bryan and EMG for music, entertainment, lighting and effects. Bryan was on top of everything and thought of everything we could possibly want and need. He has the best energy and you’re lucky to have him at your wedding!!! Thank you, Bryan!!!

ocess was extremely easy and organized. Wedding planning during a pandemic was a crazy experience, but EMG helped make the process feel fun and exciting! We had several zoom calls to help us prepare for the big day. Bryan did an amazing job keeping everyone on their feet, and played music that all of our guests could connect to. We also had the open air/mirror photo booth which was a huge hit! My husband and I had the best time looking over the pictures the next day, and loved how happy all of our friends and family looked! I highly recommend EMG and was blown away by the talent, kindness, and professionalism we received!

one was dancing the night away!! The photo booth was done so well and made it even more special to go through our book. Bryan and team really nailed it and we can’t wait to work with them again!

en a guests have so much fun and I can honestly say we owe a lot of that to Tom!

rk with Tom who was there every step of the way and was so easy to work with. He was able to negotiate with us on our budget since we had our hearts set on getting married the first Saturday in February (which happened to be both of our birthdays!). The music the day of the wedding was awesome and all of our family & friends are still talking about it. They played everything we asked and were still able to fit in their own unique playlists. Our guests were literally on the dance floor the entire evening! If I could do it all over again I wouldn't think twice about booking Elegant Music Group!

songs that appealed to a diverse crowd and kept everyone moving. We hired a musician outside of EMG, Bryan and the musician were able to work together without issues. 100% recommend Bryan and EMG for your event.

dible live musicians, the level of professionalism that seeped out of everything they did from handling a general inquiry to working out a detailed estimate immediately after our initial conversation, to their event hosts who were humble, kind, fun-loving and extremely passionate about delivering high-quality entertainment for people in love (seriously, these guys are super passionate about making sure you have the best wedding ever). Our wedding was on 3/8/2020 at The Rockleigh. Bryan Festa was our event host and I cannot even begin to say enough great things about working with him. He made the process super, super easy, was easily reachable and extremely responsive to questions. Beyond that, Bryan REALLY LOVES what he does and it came through with every interaction we had with him. He didn’t just play a list of songs for us – he created his own mixes and literally cultivated a vibe for us and our guests at every single point of our wedding. Bryan also gave us the most memorable (and our favorite) moment of the day – our photographer had us slow dance in the center of the dance floor in the ballroom before any guests were invited in to get some pics. Bryan immediately put on our first dance song so we could have a private moment enjoying our first dance without pressure or a tremendous audience. I think that illustrates that these guys are truly willing to go the extra mile. In addition to Bryan, we also had three live musicians – a percussionist, saxophonist, and pianist. All incredible. The quality of their music was unbelievable and people cannot stop raving about it to us. HIGHLY recommend investing in some live musicians if you can. You absolutely will not be disappointed if you choose to forgo something else for live musicians. It just amplified everything Bryan did and made our wedding feel so unique. Lastly, I’d like to give a special shout out to Mike Carleo who I initially spoke with when getting a general estimate for EMG. Mike – thanks for your promptness in getting back to me and for helping me zero in on the right musician and special effect combos to make mine and my husband’s wedding an unforgettable one. THANK YOU, EMG for bringing our wedding to the next level. You guys absolutely rock! Brides – please, please, please look no further for your wedding entertainment. These guys will have everyone up out of their seats!

ination of music. Would recommend them to anyone that wants to have the best night of their life!!

eves for wedding DJs are the ones that resort to playing basic old wedding tunes and ones that talk way too much. You don't have to worry about any of that with Bryan and I'm sure that goes for the other DJs at EMG as well! Such a modern, fun, and easy business to work with! We added on a snowfall effect which was perfectly beautiful, and an electric violinist who our guests loved and was a really fun addition to the reception. I do wish the violinist interacted with the crowd more, but once people noticed her, they loved her. I would 100% recommend EMG. Hire them and they'll treat you like family. They'll invite you to their events throughout your engagement, keep in constant contact with you, and on your special day they'll create exactly the vibe you want.

lash mob, my brother in law made a film, a friend sang us a song for us to dance to. Some brides would hate these surprises, but I loved every second of it because EMG was on top of it! They worked directly with our friends and family to make sure everything went down perfectly. From the moment we met with them, everything was organized, professional, and FUN. You will definitely not regret booking these guys!

way that this was the perfect fit and he did not disappoint. Bryan was on top of everything. He asked a few questions and knew exactly what we needed for our wedding. There was no oversell, never tried to convince us to purchase something we didn't want, everything was perfect. Bryan and crew made our day so special. Everyone LOVED the music and if you're on the fence about having a full drum set with the DJ at your wedding, DO IT! It's an amazing touch and it's not overbearing at all. When we need to hire a DJ again for an event, we are 100% calling EMG.

searched and searched, we came across Tom with EMG and knew immediately he was the perfect fit. His professionalism was consistent, our personalities clicked and his flexibility was unreal. I was a crazy bride and decided to change our first dance song HOURS before the ceremony and Tom accommodated and supported me within minutes of my request. Tom, and Joe, we cannot thank you enough for your pure talent and good hearts. You took such good care of us newlyweds and all of our guests. I don't even know what the centerpieces on the table looked like because we were up dancing the ENTIRE night!!

huge party that kept our guests dancing ALL NIGHT LONG. EMG helped us to do just that, with our dance floor packed from the first song at 8:30PM to the last song at 1AM that called for an encore of one last song. We worked with Bryan through the whole process of planning, and he was incredible: personable, fun and super focused on making sure my husband and I were getting the songs we wanted, the vibe we wanted, as well as all of the extras. Not to mention he DJed/EmCeed our wedding himself and people have not stopped asking who the DJ was! Bryan made recommendations on how we could keep our party vibe through the night with intelligent lighting, the CO2 cannon & the confetti blasts at midnight. We also added the snowfall & dancing on the clouds effect for our first dance that made the moment even more romantic. EMG has incredibly fair pricing for the level of service they offer and features they bring to the table - the only mistake you can make is by not having them for your big day!

about how amazing our DJ was!

our daughter’s wedding. They provided pianist for an outside wedding ceremony, an acoustic guitar player for the cocktail hour, and two DJs for the reception. We worked out all of the details with our key contact and primary DJ Shawn Foley. The EMG staff was extremely easy to work with as we went through all the music selections including those for introductions, special dances, events, etc. We also worked with EMG to have a vocalist, a friend of the bride’s, sing during the ceremony with the EMG piano accompaniment. We finalized the last few selections on the day before the wedding. The entire day was flawless and the final cost for everything was very reasonable. The musicians – the guitarist and the pianist – were truly excellent. The DJs did a fantastic job entertaining the guests, played at volumes appropriate for the different phases of the evening and were very flexible with the music by reading the crowd. We strongly recommend EMG.

bic, which was really important for us. EMG has the option to do DJ plus live music, so we had a two-man DJ/MC team plus percussion and sax on the dance floor…and it was amazing! We didn’t miss the live band at all and we were able to play such a wide variety of music for our families, from classic wedding songs, to modern hits, to Arabic/Latin music, to oldies and more. The sax player and percussionists killed it and even came out on the dance floor with all of us and really got the party going. It was so much fun! Most importantly, though, EMG was amazing during the planning process. Beyond the standard meetings to go over the ceremony and other important reception details, Frank was reachable by phone in the weeks leading up to the wedding day. We had EMG coordinate with another company for Arabic drummers, and it was tough, but both vendors were willing to work with us and together to create our vision. There were a few hiccups, but I think only we noticed them, and we expected that, given that two companies were coming together for an unfamiliar (and complicated!) performance. EMG is so professional and as a company, they are really cutting edge, modernized and looking to grow and expand, which should be a good indication of what they are capable of and where they are going. If you have multi-cultural needs for a wedding, don’t hesitate to book EMG. Thank you Mark, Frank and the whole crew!!!

are were the guys! They are exceptionally professional and knowledgeable (both in the materials they have available online and in their interactions). Shawn worked with us to help find the right music and instruments for our ceremony and we left the reception almost entirely in his hands (we gave some input on preferred genres). We had a review with Shawn a few days prior to ensure we were all on the same page, and the day of Shawn and Matty knocked it out of the park! We had two fantastic musicians for the ceremony (keyboard and sax) who did a phenomenal job. For the cocktail hour and reception Shawn and Matty knew exactly what to play when (and at what volume) to really kick things off and create an warm and enthusiastic environment. I think the only time during the reception the dance floor wasn't packed was when folks took breaks for food! Since then, we had numerous friends, relatives, and coworkers compliment how much fun they had and how great the music was. So if you want to have a truly memorable night set to the tunes you will always remember, I absolutely recommend Elegant Music Group!

l about our music requests and applied them. Bryan- your Africa by Toto mix you added in was insane. We still have guests asking for Bryan at EMG’s info and one of my bridesmaides already booked him. I’d crash any of the weddings he does tbh. Additionally, he was able to give us an awesome edited video from one of his interns. We thank you so much!!!!

on. Everyone was blown away by them and had the absolute best time. I would highly recommend them!

arty! Everyone commented to use how great the music was and he had the entire party up on their feet dancing and having a great time the entire night. And I mean everyone - friends and family all enjoyed and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Brian and Elegant Music Group!

stop talking about how talented the entire band is. Can't think of one negative thing to say, it was perfect. Thank You guys for making our night unforgettable.

o rely on when making our decision. I had read lots of good reviews about EMG and Bryan Festa in particular and man were they SPOT ON!! When we first met Bryan he immediately put us at ease and let us know that he didn’t want us to stress about the details (which songs to play, how to organize entrances into the ballroom, etc). He took care of it all, which was super important to us, considering we had an entire wedding to plan. All we had to do was give him a little direction (Must Play/ Do Not Play) and he ran with it. Bryan and Alper exceeded all expectations we had for event hosts. They read the energy of the crowd and delivered an unbelievable night of dance music for all age groups. One of the things that stuck out to us the most was that Bryan said if we needed anything throughout the night that he would be our guy. He even offered to bring us drinks throughout the night!! We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to choose EMG! Bryan and Alper truly made our wedding night the party of our dreams! Thanks again!

ease and knew we would have a fun party. We didn't get all of the bells and whistles, yet we were treated as if we were their number one priority. Our Event Host was Frank, DJ was John. We met with Frank before the party to go over song lists etc. He understood our music genre and put together an AMAZING playlist. Plus, Frank is easy going and fun. It was great having him guide our party. All of our guests were on the dance floor all night long - including the wait staff at our venue! Everyone said it was the best party! Every song we asked for played, and more! We were so happy that it all worked out amazingly!

have as much of a party mode and boy was I was very wrong! Tom had people on the dance floor the entire time!!! He knew exactly when to play the perfect song just at the right time. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thanks again for helping make our wedding so amazing.

to Bryan at EMG right away, as he was super cool & easy to work with. I made the call, Mike and I met with Bryan in the EMG office in Montclair and we knew that Bryan would be the man to bring the party of our love to life! *Advice* When you book Bryan or anyone at EMG Productions, follow them on your social media platforms. It's so awesome to see all of their spaces, the beats they play, vibes they create & the passion they have for their craft & their clients... I guarantee you'll stress less during the process ;) Our wedding order included: ceremony piano, (2) reception DJs (BRYAN, we obviously love you - Alper, thanks so much for all of your work!) & (1) reception saxophone player - LaQuin, you rocked it out sir, atlas 3 people said to me that you were the best part of the night!!!) & their sleek photo booth that everyone also raved over!! I surprised my dad with a video that Bryan chatted through with us to bring it to life. He brought a pop up screen during our dance (which my dad said was his favorite part; WOO!) Bryan, thank you for your exceptional service, attention to detail & patience with me during the planning process. We had an amazingly memorable day & we have you to thank for soooo much of that. Can't wait to refer you to others, watch you rock it (and do your epic check-in's) & work with you again! (Shout out to Mike, Mike & Hayes too!!!)
