Murray Hill Talent

ent beautifully: he had our officiant mic'ed up and the processional & recessional music was on cue. Cocktail hour and dinner music was at a perfect volume and on theme (we'd asked for New Orleans style brass band music for cocktails and guests loved the selections). When the dancing started, Scott kept it going for hours. He integrated our selections into a mix of other great tracks and kept the energy at just the right level the whole night. We had an amazing time on the dance floor and highly recommend Scott!

. He read the crowd well and kept the night moving seamlessly. Brian makes sure every detail is covered in the initial phone call and even made some last minute adjustments for us. He did an excellent job!

as understanding and accepting to all of our requests and had all the right questions for us that we didn't even think to ask. The wedding was no different. He was perfect!

e was very thorough and paid attention to all of our requests, mixing in the songs we liked with what he felt would fit the mood. We would hire him again for any future event without hesitation!

d short first dance songs and we’ll ask the parent songs. He picked up on everyone’s vibe, and I never had to tell him what to play. We had ages from 8-83 and not one person complained about the music. Both were TRULY AMAZING! Do not hesitate to book them. They are quick to respond, and extremely easy to work with. Thank you for being such an amazing part of my day!!!

single moment where I thought, "oh I hope he'll play this song" because he was so on top of it. We gave a short list of songs we love, but ultimately asked for music that would span generations and people could sing to. He nailed it! Our introductions were fun without being over the top and Zeke was always punctual and organized. Thank you!

cocktail hour and reception and he certainly delivered! We'd highly recommend Murray Hill!

with Zeke, it was all so easy. I was being a little bridezilla b/c music can make or break a wedding... and had a million questions and notes for Zeke. I was coordinating a ceremony ukulele player, but wanted a certain song for the aisle walk, needed assistance with a family member playing during reception, needing coordination on a few other logistical things, and Zeke just figured it all out. Then at the wedding itself, it went so smoothly, and I received SO MANY compliments on how he was playing "hit after hit".. The dance floor filled up way earlier than intended, and stayed full. He took song requests, felt the crowd's vibe, and just KILLED IT. I would recommend him and Murray Hill 1000x over.

mind if I threw some last minute things his way. We chatted a lot before the wedding and he always had his notes prepared for the phone calls. There were a few times I went up to request a song and it was THE NEXT ONE ON THE LIST. So unofficially I declare Sheldon a mind reader!

s up dancing. He played a wide range of songs that were well received by all and no one felt left out. He did a great job transitioning music from one event to the next such as intros to first dance to speeches. We had a ton of guests asking us for his name and what DJ company he was a part of. Marc was professional and really easy going to work with. He was reliable and always available to go over logistics. He made the process fun and we had a blast creating a playlist with him! He even provided great words of encouragement to our Best Man and MOH right before their speeches that helped give them that extra boost of confidence they needed. He and Murray Hill were super helpful in providing good song list recommendations for certain events such as cake cutting or parent dances. It really helped keep us focused on finding the perfect song for each part of our wedding night. You can tell he has a trained eye for observing how the audience is responding to songs and is very talented in being able to cater the music to what the crowd wants to hear. So many of our guests had a blast and danced the night away. They even joked it took them a few days to recover from having so much fun. Our wedding coordinator at the venue said she hadn't seen a dance floor that crowded probably in the last five years and they host weddings all the time. Our photographer also noted he did a great job getting so much energy moving in the room. You could really tell people genuinely were enjoying themselves. We're so fortunate we found a DJ that made our wedding night so much fun for ourselves and all our guests! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a solid DJ with a terrific personality! A+ in our book!

professional...exactly what our daughter and her husband wanted. We would highly recommend Zeke and Murray Hill Talent for any of their services.

ent and the band Closing Time while searching online. We watched videos of the band and instantly knew we wanted them! My husband emailed Murray Hill Talent to get a quote and they emailed back right away. We decided to go with the band Closing Time and we are so incredibly glad we did! Ryan the manager/lead singer was in contact with us via email and then called us the week before our wedding to iron out all the details. Ryan was very easygoing and great to deal with! The band was absolutely AMAZING and had all of our wedding guests on the dance floor all night long! I remember looking out at the tables and not one person was sitting! They played all the right songs and guests later raved about how good they were. To us, having good music was such an important part of our big day and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! You guys rock!!

over which exactly what we wanted. Scott and Murray Hill Talent are incredible - highly recommend.

vorite memories from our whole day. They kept everyone dancing all night long - including people I've never seen dance before. We had a smaller group of Flipside folks play during cocktail hour and they also did a fantastic job. Booking Flipside was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. They are absolute pros and amazing musicians.

en looking for a combination of live music and DJ for my ceremony/wedding, and after hopping on the phone with them they were so easy going yet professional I knew we would be in good hands. Honestly, Murray Hill Talent is worth every star (and then some). They were so easy to work with and were incredible professionals who made our night an absolute blast. We worked with Tom Pendergast and Scott Arrington. Both were very easy to communicate with, understood our goals after a simple phone call, and made our wedding an incredible experience. Tom Pendergast played acoustic guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour and was fantastic. He was willing to learn several songs for our procession/recession to create just the vibe we wanted, and our guests raved about him during the cocktail hour. Scott Arrington was our DJ and couldn't have been better. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening (dare I say, it was the best wedding ever?). Murray Hill Talent, Scott & Tom were true professionals and I'd highly recommend them.

guests how much they loved Brian.

and answer any of our questions. Scott Arrington was our DJ and he did a fabulous job. Many friends and family members remarked on how great the music was and the dance floor was always packed!

at the wedding was so organized and seamless. They drew rave reviews from each of our guests. Our caterer asked where we found Flipside and said they were the best wedding band she’s ever seen perform. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. We highly recommend Flipside to anyone looking for a wedding band.

rformed for the ceremony/cocktail hour and was easy to work with. He also did us a huge favor by helping our two friends who were performing a song during our ceremony make sure that they had the right equipment just days before our wedding. As for Dakeya - we could not have been happier with having him as our DJ. First off, he has a great personality - he is super courteous, patient, and helpful during the planning meetings, and during the wedding he was polite and subdued - he didn't make anything about himself which some DJs in the industry definitely can do. He also is VERY talented when it comes to DJ-ing and really knows how to please everyone with music while also keeping in mind what the bride & groom requested. One of our friends said it was the "best dance floor he had ever been on". Would 10/10 recommend using Murray Hill Talent and specifically Dakeya as your DJ!

o guitarist to my contract for only a $200 more, which added such a special touch to the ceremony and also allowed all of our guests to hear through the wireless mic setup. We loved working with our DJ Scott and he got our intentions for a fun reception without cheesy music. We gave him a few songs that we wanted to hear and he went off that to choose the other music which was perfect. He played Hava Nagila at the right time which brought everyone to the dance floor and kept them there all night! He was also super responsive in the months and weeks before the wedding. Murray Hill was a great value and the service was amazing. I would recommend them and Scott to anyone!

every detailed covered - even details you might not think about. My husband and I had a few specific requests and he hit every single one of them right on the money! Scott kept our day moving, from ceremony to last dance (checking in with us periodically to make sure we were happy with the way the day was moving) and kept everyone and I mean everyone on the dance floor! Everyone had an absolute blast and gave us a ton of compliments on how great our DJ was! I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am that we were paired with Scott and how wonderful it was working with him!

ed. He handled my last-minute changes for our isle and cake-cutting songs with grace, played EXACTLY what I wanted for dinner, and worked within my bizarre musical tastes for a perfect night of dancing with my family and friends. He even played some unexpected but PERFECT songs to get everyone moving.

hole time making the day about them. He was respectful, professional, and helped to make the day absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!!!

helpful though-out the whole process and we would highly recommended him for any future event :)

cause I can’t help myself and organize everything to death, we provided him with a few playlists: one for the songs with purposes like what I’d be walking down the aisle to, entrance music, cake cutting song, etc., one with “must plays” for the reception, and another with music requested by our guests. We told him to use his best judgment with what to play when outside of the required songs, and he nailed it! We also told him not to accept song request from certain artists on our “do not play” list, and one of our wedding guests thought it would be fun to quiz him and occasionally ask to play one of those songs throughout the night. It came as no surprise that he never did play those songs and held up his end of the deal (and Scott - we’re sorry about that guest bugging you :)). We had a wonderful experience with Scott, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for music for their wedding day!

ual, and a true professional throughout the evening and flexed with us as we made song requests or needed to adjust the schedule. Paul, who ran our photo booth, was equally attentive to our needs and ensured our funnest moments were captured. Everyone loved the photo booth and it really added to the evening's events. I would highly recommend Murray Hill Talent to my friends and family in the future!

out of this world!!! The band has talented musicians and exceptional singers. Flipside got the party started the second we were in the venue. Corin, the band leader communicated with us via email promptly and professionally right up until a few days before my wedding. He knew how important it was for me to have an outstanding band that could play all different types of music while still accommodating our Irish traditions. Corin recommended an electric fiddle as an addition to the band for about an hour –she was AMAZING. He also would send us videos from time to time months before the big day of Flipside playing at recent wedding venues or preforming an Irish classic which really made me confident he was hearing just how important the different generes of music was to my family and I! He is truly a professional and went above and beyond by recommending songs, showing us the bands talent whenever he saw fit, emailing promptly and accommodating all of my requests. I am so happy with them I would hire them again in a second for another event!! Everyone was asking who the band was! They were the best band I ever heard at a wedding and everyone was up dancing. I would HIGHLY recommend Flipside.

for anything more. Brian kept our (huge) wedding party organized for all entrances and speeches, he worked directly with our day of coordinator to make sure all of the moving pieces stayed in sync, and best of all the dance floor was PACKED the entire night (and we had a crowd ranging in age from early 20’s ro early 80’s) We have heard from multiple guests who said our wedding was the most fun wedding they’ve been to! Brian, thank you for making our wedding better than we could have imagined and completely stress free for me! Picking a DJ is tough, there are many to choose from out there. What set Murray Hill aside when originally picking a company were the personal videos each DJ has on their website, these really let us get to know the DJ’a before picking who we were going to use.

It was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. Marc was easy to work with, communicative, and understood the musical vibe we were going for -- with all our quirks included. He was also incredibly invaluable helping us transition throughout the night. From the moment he began playing music until the end of the night, the dance floor was packed with guests of all ages. He read the room flawlessly and kept guests engaged and excited - including our 90 year old grandfather who could not stop dancing! Marc is a true gentleman who deeply cares about his clients -- he was sincere, energetic, and emotionally invested in the festivities through the evening. He joined guests on the dance floor, and felt like part of the family by the end of the night!

wedding (laid back) and our likes and dislikes. He is very personable, reassuring, insightful, has enormous musical knowledge, great instincts, and puts you at ease. It's important to mention that we thought Murray Hill's quote to do the ceremony and reception was reasonable and proper in a wedding environment where pricing is exorbitant and generally insane. Leading up to the big day, Scott was prompt in answering e-mailed questions and requests, and got on the phone to make sure he understood our checklist and was all set for the ceremony/reception. The communication paid off because the music was perfect -- played at the right time, at the right volume... he read the crowd, gave people what they wanted to hear, honored our (few) requests, and kept guests dancing. Scott's clearly a humble guy, doesn't talk just to hear himself talk, is respectful of what's going on around him, and (to repeat) has sharp instincts. Best of all -- our guests complemented us on a classy evening and spot-on song list that led to maximum dancing. Can't thank MHT and DJ Scott enough!! They won't let you down.

dancing and we've been asked many times who our band was since the wedding! People cannot stop commenting on how awesome the band was. Murray Hill Talent also did a great job on our uplighting! The Flipside is a MUST for your wedding band..you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you for everything!!!!!!

whole night. I couldn’t have been happier with him. Also, his communication beforehand was unreal. He sent me the dj planner, was patient with my changes, helped me find versions of songs I liked and he really set me at ease days before when we spoke on the phone. He also helped my fiancé with finding equipment so he could perform a song. If I were to do it all again we’d choose Scott every time. Really can’t sing his praises enough. Ryan McHugh was outstanding as well. We booked him at the last minute bc i really wanted an acoustic guitarist with vocals and I couldn’t have been happier. Ryan absolutely knocked it out of the park. He instantly got in touch with his song list, helped me choose ceremony songs (which he killed) and didn’t skip a beat the entire day. Everyone raved about him. I was just so so happy with the music as a whole and can’t thank Murray hill enough! You guys rock.

ot the vibe we were looking for. He really added value to our wedding.

fore we moved forward with a group. We selected Infinity Strings through Murray Hill Talent and were blown away by their professionalism, performance, and overall personalities. We were looking for something like the "Vitamin String Quartet" experience and they nailed it. You could tell how excited they were to be playing at our wedding and to really knock it out of the park for us. They were extremely accommodating, even playing a song we selected last minute, with a personal touch on top. I highly recommend both Murray Hill Talent and Infinity Strings for any event! Thanks so much all!

dding even on such short notice. I spoke with Trey on the phone and instantly knew he was the right guy for the job. Trey is clearly passionate about DJing and was very knowledgeable about how the big day would unfold and worked with us to make it all seamless. Trey was awesome on the wedding day, he supplied music for cocktail hour, the dinner and dance floor and we loved every second of it. His taste in music and seamless transitions were awesome and kept everyone on the dance floor. We can not recommend Trey enough, he was perfect!​

ut together a wonderful ceremony. Marc was able to give our reception the perfect soundtrack that included everything from traditional Portuguese to contemporary music. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our ceremony and reception so perfect!

then he read the room perfectly for the rest of the night. Everyone was dancing until midnight and, as we heard repeatedly, the only complaint people had was that there wasn't enough room on the dance floor. If you're looking for a DJ in the Boston area, we cannot recommend Zeke highly enough.

and were coming to the Boston area for our wedding, we saw a few YouTube videos of the Flip Side and we can say unequivocally they are great online but surreal when seen in person. The song list they gave us was extensive, as they are extremely talented and when we chose the songs we wanted they performed each song to perfection. Our guests fed off their energy and they fed off our guests energy. If we had to do it over, The Flip Side would be our choice 1000 out of 1000 times. At the end of the night our guests were left wanting more and wanting to dance more than ever!

an extremely knowledgable musician. We had a hard time picking a band when we were planning or wedding, and we are so pleased that we ended up with Flipside. They also happen to be very accommodating, and handled some last minute changes on our end without any problems. (As a side note, we also used their uplighting, which I would recommend). Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band, and we are still getting phone calls from family and friends who can't stop talking about them!

ompletely saved the day!!! Dakeya also played the perfect mix of music and was s great MC. We cannot recommend him enough!

r responsiveness. We had multiple calls with Marc to talk about our music preferences and visions for the day - he interpreted our feedback perfectly and created a day that surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend Marc Anthony and the Murray Hill Talent team!

ions. He listened to our music requests and delivered. The dance floor was never empty! Thank you Scott!

rst point of contact and there are no words for how accommodating and kind he is. He was EXTREMELY responsive (he would seriously email us back within an hour), so kind, SO helpful, and answered any and all questions we had (I must have emailed at least Tom 20+ times leading up to our day and he was always so helpful and happy). The ceremony music was incredible. We had Tom on the guitar and a violinist and as soon as I started walking down the isle and heard the song we had picked out begin, I immediately felt a sense of comfort. They were truly amazing. Our DJ was Scott and again, I cannot speak highly enough about how incredible he is! Scott was so helpful with song choice and made us feel completely at ease, he took all the stress out of anything music related. He was super fun during intros and made our wedding the giant dance party that we wanted! We HIGHLY recommend using Murray Hill Talent!

ast names were very hard to pronounce, but Scott called me so he could phonetically spell them when he announced them during our entrance. I highly recommend him!

He was very patient with us as some of our choices we sent to him last minute, he did everything perfectly on the night of. Music was such a natural part of our event which means there were 0 mistakes made! Dakeya was the best choice we could have made! Professional, on-time, pleasant, good vibes, great advice on music. Thank you, Dakeya!

ontemporary pop as well, Tom has it covered. For our DJ, we wanted to keep the dance floor packed all night and Marc definitely delivered. Our guests were thrilled with all his song choices and didn't leave the dance floor (even after the "last song" was played). We even got to see him bust out some of his own moves a few times. Both Tom and Marc were also very organized and professional. The venue we were at had different parts of the ceremony/reception in different places, and they had equipment to cover everything. They always had a mic ready for us for toasts and announcements. We're thrilled we went with Murray Hill as they had the flexibility to offer a DJ and live music, and both Tom and Marc were great to work with.

hoice. They were responsive, attentive, and flexible to talk to, but what struck us most was how they talked about the weddings they had performed at, and how the wedding day was about the bride and groom, not about making the reception a show. They said that they would do what it took to ensure the wedding ran smoothly on the day of, and they held to that promise. During our wedding reception, Scott guided us along with everyone else through the various toasts, blessings, and announcements, which allowed us to focus all of our attention on each other and enjoying the company of our guests. When we were discussing the music for the reception, itself, Scott had general questions in terms of music that we would like emphasized, music that we would like to avoid, and so we shared that but trusted him the rest of the way. That trust was well placed as everything flowed seamlessly throughout. During our multi-course meal, he held everything to classics and jazz as we had hoped, and when it came time for it, he was able to get almost everyone in attendance to dance. Scott played an unforgettable part in our wedding day, and we will never forget that. Our recommendation is that if you have the chance to work with Cory and Murray Hill Talent, then you should jump at the chance, because they will make sure that your day is the best it could be.

our wedding and ended up working with Brendan Howard. Brendan was great! We gave him a huge list of music recommendations from our family and guests and asked him to have fun with our list and his own recommendations. Generally he stuck to a mix of current hits, upbeat rock classics (e.g. beatles, michael jackson), and our indie selections. The dance floor was packed all night long. The thing that worked best was that we did our formal dances before dinner and opened the floor for one song while the caterers took care of final touches, Brendan picked just the right Michael Jackson song to kick things off. It got everyone in a festive mood. Brendan also helped us out in the ceremony managing the officiant's microphone and playing quiet background music for our traditional Hindu ceremony. For having never been to the venue before that day, he managed the site and sound levels wonderfully. He made minimal but well said announcements when needed as we requested. Overall, we'd recommend both Murray Hill Talent as a company and Brendan in particular.

ly on that vision. We heard from multiple people that Tom was also fantastic, we unfortunately didn't get to any of our cocktail hour but heard him play a bit before the ceremony and he sounded great. One of our friend who's a music teacher and guitarist was very impressed. Overall we were very happy with Murray Hill Talent and have already recommended you to a few of our friends who have upcoming weddings. Thanks Scott and Tom!

a daunting choice too. My fiance and I were living in 2 different states and on the West coast so communication was key! Ken (a band member but also point person who we worked with leading up to the wedding day) was INCREDIBLE. Hands down the best, most responsive, responsible and caring vendor we worked with. Working with us and making sure our needs were met felt like his top priority - a treat when you're planning a wedding! Then, come day of, I have no words to describe the A++++ experience the band gave us and our wedding guests. It was absolutely the talk of the wedding. My favorite example: a post from a Friend wrote "no joke, 5 min into the reception" -- to a video with a PACKED dance floor with EVERYONE from wedding dancing (mind you, this was BEFORE any food was served!). I have goosebumps thinking about RedLine and, frankly, never write reviews but I couldn't ignore the need to recognized them. IN SUMMARY: 1) BAND WAS OUR TOP PRIORITY 2)WE HAD TO PICK 'BLINDLY' FROM THE WEST COAST 3) REDLINE ENDED UP BEING THE BEST VENDOR WE COULD EVER ASK FOR. THANK YOU

t up, did a great job with all of the announcements, he played all of the music we asked mixed with what he thought would work best, and he had people on the dance floor the entire night! A couple of our wedding guests who had DJ experience came up to me throughout the night just to tell me how great a job our DJ was doing. I would highly recommend using Murray Hill Talent, specifically Brian Delac, for your wedding DJ!

feedback from all our guests was that Scott did an outstanding job. I've never danced so much in my life and our dance floor was full the entire night. My wife and I had prepared a list of requests that we wanted to have played but about an hour into the night we told Scott to forget all the requests we had and to just keep doing what he was doing because we loved his music much more than our own! He read the crowd perfectly, kept everyone involved, and it was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding (I am biased because it was my wedding, but you get the point :) ). He was prompt in all his replies leading up to the event, he did great with a couple curve balls we had during the wedding, and we cannot recommend Scott highly enough to anyone who wants to have a fun and unforgettable wedding.

en the music was too loud. Scott did a great job at making sure the volume was perfect for each part of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. My husband and I even talked about it at our sweetheart table how the music was just loud enough to be heard but you could still very easily talk with those around you. We’d highly recommend Scott and Murray Hill Talent!

easure to deal with before the wedding and the day of. Cannot say enough good things about him. Murray Hill was also very easy and responsive to deal with. Thank you Dakeya and Murray Hill! I would highly recommend.

and without having an opportunity to hear them in person first. From the planning to the execution, we couldn't be happier with the entire process. I will recommend Murray Hill to anyone looking for a great band for ANY occasion. I cannot imagine a better group of people to help us celebrate our wedding. They are the best!

ch they enjoyed the music and all of their interactions with Dakeya. My husband and I had particular requests for the ceremony and he got them 100% - making sure I walked down the aisle to the song of my dreams. Can't thank him enough for helping to make my day complete, right down to playing Britney Spears for my best friend and I to do our stupid personal dance to. Five stars all the way.

perfect and sounded gorgeous. All the guests commented on the beautiful music. Tom was easy to work with and very responsive and professional during the entire process. Murray Hill is a top notch organization and I would highly recommend them. Thank you Tom for making it a special day!!

ht, and he was GREAT! Scott took the time to meet with us, and was always very responsive when we had questions. We only gave him a little guidance on what we wanted and he completely understood what we were hoping for for the night. The music was exactly what we wanted, and he truly set a great tone for the night. We also had Tom Pendergast (guitarist) for the ceremony and he was amazing. Not only did he do a fantastic job, but he was so helpful and responsive leading up to the wedding. We cannot say enough good things about everyone we worked with at Murray Hill Talent - we are so glad they were a part of our wedding!

music (with little direction from us), and was essential at keeping the party on schedule. Our guests all got up, danced, and had a blast!

d him to anyone.

t the music that we wanted to hear (and the music we didnt). On the day of, he was flexible with any last minute changes that we wanted to make and helped us pull off a few unique requests that made the day that much more special. He was great with our guests and knew which song requests to play and which to politely decline, both equally important. And most importantly, once dinner was over and the dance floor opened up, he got people out on the dance floor and kept them there all night!

acoustic guitar for our ceremony and a live trio for cocktail hour and were absolutely amazing. We booked these guys having only seen their promo video on the website and a few you tube videos and I can honestly say, those videos are good, but are NOTHING compared to how amazing they are live! Thank you all for making our wedding unforgettable!

one out on the dance floor all night. I highly recommend this band!
