Flipside Entertainment: DJs, Bands, Lighting & Video

nds and I love to dance, and we spent practically the whole time on the dance floor. Chris recognized the vibe and shifted the music to suit the needs of the guests - the result was perfection! I highly recommend Flipside Entertainment for your next event!

edding and dance all night! Chris was amazing and we would recommend him for any event!!!!! -Mr. & Mrs. Santillo

was telling us how great the band and music selection were during and after the wedding. The NY Fusion is the perfect combination of live musicians and DJ. The musicians are all so talented and they did such a wonderful job with song selection- they kept the party going and kept the energy up. We seriously couldn’t be any happier with flipside! We hope to attend a wedding with flipside playing in the future so we can enjoy their music again!

th worlds! The vocalists, Ethan and Dani, were phenomenal and had my guests on their feet the entire night! The dance floor was always packed and my guests are still raving about them! I highly recommend Flipside Entertainment and hope to use them again in the future!

as worked with the venue a lot. We used the signature package with Chris leading the way, as well as the halo Photo Booth with an attendant. He helped us out a lot with recommendations for the ceremony and run of show during the reception. And the pacing of the run of show during the reception went really well. Chris and his DJ team also did a great job keeping the energy going on the dance floor. It never felt like people had to be coerced to the dance floor during the night. And having the attendant at the halo Photo Booth allowed everyone to take more efficient pictures, since I'm sure it could have confused some guests with operating the Photo Booth without an attendant. And hopefully this part ends up not being relevant for future weddings, but we booked Flipside Entertainment before the pandemic, and Chris was very flexible when we had to push our wedding due to it. Considering we had so many unknowns leading up to our wedding with the covid guidelines, it was a relief having Chris keeping some stability during the planning process.

wing 5 stars. Like many others, we spent a lot of time and energy analyzing and deliberating over our wedding reception options. One thing we agreed on from the onset was that perhaps the most important detail, the one guests will remember, is if they had fun. Therefore, we put a good amount of research into finding stand-out entertainment. At the suggestion of a friend, we set up an appointment with Chris Aimi of Flipside Entertainment. Within minutes of speaking with Chris we both realized that he was an experienced professional who was at the forefront of his industry. Everything was presented to us in a sleek, well organized, and technologically adept manner. It was clear that he was a master of his craft and knew exactly what he was doing. He listened to our vision and gave us helpful suggestions based on his experience. One concern we mentioned was regarding volume. We have been to weddings where the music overpowered the event and people were unable to converse. This was especially a concern for our older and valued guests who struggle to hear. We were really impressed with Chris’ solution: he uses a device to test the acoustics of the venue and then uses that information to regulate the sound. Chris is also very personable. Our communications together felt less like weighing options with a service professional and more like conversations with a friend who works in the industry. After some debate we selected a NY Fusion package which combines a DJ with live musicians; and we are so glad we did. This is a truly unique ensemble that combines the benefits of having both a DJ and live musicians. For example, we were able to play certain original tracks to maintain their authenticity like, “I can’t help falling in love with you” by Elvis Presley while other sets combined the DJ and live music that gave the overall feel of a full band. The musicians do not play over the DJ but rather various instrumental and/or vocal portions are removed from the tracks by Chris’ team in studio and are substituted with live performers. The sets were phenomenal and the addition of live musicians added the extra pop we were looking for to truly wow our guests. We are so happy that we chose Flipside Entertainment and a NY Fusion package and highly recommend it. Countless guests have told us that our wedding was the best they had ever attended. Everyone commented on how much fun they had and how talented the entertainers were. The dance floor was always full and we had the time of our lives.

t the Nyack Seaport. Their song selections were totally spot on for every moment, and they did a wonderful job of playing to the occasion. Everyone had so much fun, and the compliments about the band haven’t stopped pouring in. They truly made the night spectacular, and I wish we could redo it all over again! I highly recommend Flipside to anyone in the market, and I hope to get the chance to hear them play again.

oint! Chris and his team are so fabulous. Our only request was to have everyone dancing the whole night, and that’s exactly what we had! The musicians and vocalists are amazing, and we could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Flipside Entertainment!

could track our song ideas, especially for the formalities. At the event, he worked very well with the venue staff to coordinate the music during ceremony, meals, everything. He was flexible throughout the night, as we decided to include breaks for cake cutting, photos, etc and he obliged with great music transitions. We let him know our guests like to party, and he and DJ Michael Christopher teamed up to host an epic dance celebration! The music did not leave anyone excluded, and many guests told us it was the most fun they've had at a wedding. 5 stars, definitely recommend!

and also very patient and calming throughout a highly hectic and nerve-wrecking process. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor. What really impressed me was the skill and caliber of the artists in the crew. The vocalists sounded amazing, and the percussionist was drumming in the crowd the whole time, keeping the energy level high. My hands down absolute favorite was the violinist who played several hits solo. It was so beautiful, unique and mesmerizing. My husband and I have been to more than 20 weddings in New York City in the past two years and they are the best I have ever experienced. And we are not just biased because its our wedding, a lot of our friends, wedding planner , event staff could not stop describing how amazing the band was.

hing from Motown to country and every song we as a couple love! Great job! The photo booth was a major hit also!

we requested, & even learned our 1st dance that wasn't your typical wedding song. It's true what they say about the entertainment being able to make or break your wedding. Flipside Entertainment truly made my wedding. To this day, it is the one thing that everyone brings up when talking about my wedding. My brother was lucky enough to get them for his wedding 8 months later, & once again they brought the house down! I can't say enough about this fabulous company. Chris & his staff were professional, extremely accommodating & easy to work with. Don't hesitate to book them if they are available on your date.

g and helpful when making decisions. My only request was to have everyone on the dance floor dancing the whole night and they had everyone doing exactly that! Great music for all generations!

e playing 40-60 minutes of Greek music so I was wary to pay such a high price. The NY Fusion Full Experience really delivered exactly what we were looking for. It really does feel like a full live band, with a DJ as a base, 2 vocals, sax, violin, percussion, it was such a great feel. The package also includes a sound system for your cocktail hour, so I curated our own playlist for that. We also paid a little extra to add in a guitarist during the reception because we thought a number of our songs would benefit from that. I also felt really comfortable interviewing and ultimately planning on the event with Chris Aimi, who runs the company. He's been doing this for many years so had a lot of feedback on some of my plans and song selections. I was also nervous about how the Greek songs would transition in and out of the English music, but the DJ did a really superb job. I got a lot of compliments from our guests during the reception about the band. During dinner, instead of sitting back and just letting the music play, the guitarist and violinist walk around and play low-key live music. It was a really great choice and I'm happy I found them. FYI--we used Ethan and Natasha on vocals--awesome!

nd made many suggestions when I needed help! He was also amazingly helpful in the wedding day! He managed to incorporate all my music selections into the ceremony and reception and he really listened to what my husband and I wanted. The music was amazing and kept all my guests dancing and having a fantastic time. I am still getting compliments to this day. The MC was also a singer and he had an amazing voice. He is seriously talented and I highly recommend him to you. In fact, I had initially questioned whether I wanted to have an MC or live singing at the reception but it was one of the best decisions I made. Thank you again Chris and Flipside for everything!

is PHENOMENAL. The band is one of the most talked about parts of our wedding. From his amazing loop band guitarist who performed beautifully for our ceremony and cocktail hour, to the saxophonist who serenaded us while we ate(guests are still raving about this!), to the drummers and singers who partied with us all night ( to the point where even the serving team was on the dance floor dancing with us ), every one was AMAZING and I would gladly recommend them to any one looking for the sound of a band with the flexibility of a DJ.

their seats and having a great time. Chris took the time to explain all of our options and really followed our wishes exactly. Once we entered our reception we had the time of our lives. I am so glad that we chose Flipside entertainment for our wedding!

tty) made the entertainment portion of the day one to remember. Matty played guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a phenomenal job of entertaining our family and friends. I would highly recommend to anyone that they use matty. He added another element to the party and we couldn't be happier that Chris recommended we do this. Ethan, as a singer, and as an MC could have not been more professional, upbeat, and really kept the crowd going. Eddy, the DJ, played music in both English and Spanish and kept the audience engaged the entire night. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome of our special day, and Chris Aimi and Flipside Entertainment had a big part in that. Thanks guys! -George B

zing ceremony and reception! He made everyone feel so at ease, especially my husband and I, he's a true professional, making us happy was his first and foremost priority..love you Chris, we can't thank you enough!!!! xoxoxoxo Love, Jennifer and John Fay

am was able to accommodate last minute requests. The band effortlessly merged all genres of music. Our guests spent all night on the dance floor with us - which was our ultimate goal! We are STILL receiving compliments on our band (10 months after our wedding)! We are so grateful to Chris and his team for making our reception extraordinary. They are all so truly talented!

not, but when you think about it, the entertainment aspect is far more important. The majority of the people I talk to mention the music and entertainment part of a wedding before anything else when giving a description, because let's face it, if people aren't out on the dance floor it is not a good time!! My husband and I could not be more happy with our decision to have FlipSide Entertainment do our wedding. We went with them because they came highly recommended in our county and every venue we looked at mentioned their name...and now we know why. My cousin also used them for her wedding in October, and we didn't even realize this until after we already booked them. Our wedding was just two weeks ago and we still have people raving about the entertainment. My parents' friends can't stop talking about the music and how great the band was. It's really a great feeling to have such good feedback about our wedding and having people want to know the names of the people we used for our DJ/band because it was the best they had experienced at a wedding. The dance floor was FULL the entire time, which still makes me smile from ear to ear. Toward the end of the night my husband and I wanted to stop taking pictures outside because the dance floor was where we wanted to be as well. We really truly recommend using FlipSide Entertainment at your event because you will be nothing short of feeling greatly fulfilled and satisfied with your decision. We only wish our wedding was eight hours instead of five, so that we could have enjoyed it for even longer!! We are forever grateful to Chris and his crew for making our day the best day ever, and a wedding that will be talked about for a long time to come!!!

ur big day. He is not like the other vendors who would pressure you. He wants you to be happy and he will provide you with the best work. Anyone seeking to have everyone on the dance floor, you don't need to waste your time looking around, just pick Flipside entertainment and events and you will be glad you did. My boss from my job told me she wished she could take the DJ home to her house. This is how much they enjoyed themselves. They are the best in town. Book him and you won't be sorry. I'm so glad I did because he did a wonderful job at my wedding. Great job and well done. Marjorie and Jorgio

ntertainment was. I am still receiving calls from our guests about how much they loved the Band/DJ. Chris and his staff were not only talented but they were so warm and friendly. The music was geared to our taste because we could pick and choose what we wanted and the fibe was so upbeat, everyone had a blast. They also provided us with mood lighting and a photo booth. I will use Flipside in the future and I recommend them to anyone who needs fabulous entertainment.

t people on the dance floor. The musicians and vocalists were excellent. Recommend to all.

e music. There were very few people sitting down mostly because of the energetic team that Flipside had. From the very beginning, Flipside was attentive to every detail, they were flexible, respectful and truly made our wedding a dream come true. Entertainment was the most important aspect of our ceremony and reception. Flipside was worth every penny. From start to finish, the team worked so hard to create the most perfect evening. We had a saxophone player who was outstanding and a singer Ethan who really got the crowd going with his amazing voice and contagious energy. Chris Aimi was our MC who was fantastic, classy, and organized to please our guests. It is noticeable how experienced and passionate he is. Lastly, Splurge for the photobooth, it is worth the money, our guests had a blast and Flipside even created a guestbook. Our guests are still raving about the entertainment, lighting, and photobooth we can't wait to use Flipside again for our future events.

them for years to come. They made sure to play exactly the type of music I wanted, they didn't play anything on my "do not playlist", they verified the pronunciation of all the names, and he really got the party started. I also had the string trio for my ceremony, and it was beautiful. Professional, classical, absolutely timeless wedding music for me to walk down the aisle to. Love Flipside, they are awesome.
