Brooklyn born and now an Upper West Sider, I've been a musician and band leader since my college days.

We’re all about reading the crowd and keeping the energy just right—it’s what makes the magic happen. There’s nothing better than playing in a band that clicks, and when the crowd feels it too… that’s when the magic really happens!

We couldn't have asked for a better day or party! New York Edge just crushed it! Rich’s professionalism and attention to detail made us feel so at ease during the whole planning process and he really knows how to keep the dance floor filled. The band is so talented and all our guests had nothing but great things to say about the music. We just can't say enough good things and we had a blast!

When we first spoke to Rich I told him that all we really cared about was having a full dance floor and someone who could read the room and keep the crowd going and wow did he deliver! The dance floor was always packed, working with Rich was so easy, and we just loved how the band kept the energy going all night! Thank you for everything!

I’m a retired wedding band singer so I wanted the best for my son’s wedding. I got it with Rich and Nrw York Edge. The band was professional, high energy with the singers engaging with our guests on the dance floor.?. Rich accommodated both my sons and I as we joined the band for some numbers and I sang my son and his bride’s first dance. This band made the evening very special . I would recommend hem highly. My guest raved about them.

Rich was amazing to work with from the first phone call we had. He was willing to work with me as well as give his opinion on what worked best for what we wanted. I felt like he was honest and not pushy at all. Him and he team even went and learned specific songs I asked for like game of thrones and chapell Roan! I would highly recommend him!

Rich and the band got exactly what we wanted, including incorporating Persian music, and they made it happen. The band can just flat out play. They rocked out and danced with us all night! Exactly what we wanted! Couldn't recommend them more. The planning was so helpful and it was executed to perfection. Our guests keep reaching out to us to tell how how good the band was, and we couldn't agree more!

I had the pleasure of experiencing New York Edge 8.5 years ago at my own wedding, and recently, they performed at my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding. To say they were incredible would be an understatement!
Rich and Shanti brought an unmatched level of energy, talent, and professionalism to both events. They had everyone on their feet, dancing and enjoying every moment. Their ability to read the crowd and choose the perfect songs ensured that the atmosphere was lively and entertaining throughout the night.
New York Edge will play engage with the audience and create a connection that enhances the overall experience. Rich and Shanti will walk onto the dance and interact with your guests. Their passion for music and creating memorable moments shines through in every performance.
I would definitely recommend New York Edge to anyone looking for a top-notch musical experience for their special day. They made both weddings truly unforgettable, and I’m certain they will continue to do so for many more celebrations to come!

Rich and his band just recently played at our wedding this April and they were beyond amazing! Rich is the nicest man and so easy to work with. He was able to incorporate some of our eclectic music requests seamlessly.
Throughout the reception, Rich and his team really were amazing. They basically never stopped playing and were great at reading the room to pick the music. So many of my guests absolutely raved about the band—they bring such energy to the reception! I can’t recommend them enough!

Wow, wow, wow! Rich and New York Edge were absolutely incredible. The number one thing people said to me during and after the wedding was how amazing the band was. They are musically so gifted but even more important is their ability to read the crowd. They come out into the crowd and keep the energy high and know exactly the right songs to play without hardly any input from me. They were SO easy to work with and went above and beyond for us. They even learned two songs for our processional at my request. You have to hire this band! They are so fun and made the wedding really too notch.

Rich and the team were AMAZING!
He helped us plan out what we wanted, answered all our questions, gave us ideas, and was really easy to work with leading up to our wedding. When the day finally came we didn't have to worry about anything. Rich was on top of the timeline, coordinating with our other vendors, and would check in with us to make sure we were having a great time.
Our guests were dancing all night long and were having the time of their lives. The band came into the crowd, let us sing a few lines, and were the life of the party. Dozens of our guests came up to us at the end of the night and the morning after telling us that was by far the best wedding band they had ever seen in their life!
Would hire them again in a heartbeat, they're worth every penny, 10/10!

10 out of 10 would get married all over again so that NY Edge can play at our wedding. We LOVED working with Rich and NY Edge. From the initial consultation to the run-through before the wedding, Rich was professional, knowledgeable, and made wedding music planning FUN. We had NY Edge musicians for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and of course the reception, and they were PHENOMENAL. The reception was so seamless with Rich MCing the event and our guests were on the dance floor from the start to the finish. Every single person was out of the seat dancing and our guests came from all over the world! Our guests RAVED about the band all night long. If these guys happen to be available on your wedding day, book them now and you will not regret it. BEST DECISION WE MADE.

Rich and New York Edge are simply superb and the BEST BAND EVER! They were beyond amazing to work with from the very beginning. And the wedding itself was so perfect and our guests had the best time ever. We all literally could have danced the night away - in my Mom's words "best night of my life". Everyone was beyond impressed with the string quartet, jazz trio and band. The compliments went on and on "best wedding ever".. "will the band come to England..." to name a few. Dancing and singing at the top of my lungs with all of our family and friends to "Empire State of Mind" will forever be one of the best and most memorable moments of my life.
Words cannot express how grateful we are. Rich and the rest of the band delivered the best party and experience ever, and we are so thankful. Wish we could do it all over again!!

New York Edge is the difference between a good band and a great band without equal. Individually, they’re insanely talented. As a group, they were simply unreal. They were able to bring even the most timid of wallflowers amongst our guests to the dance floor in what many thought would be an impossible feat. They were truly the life of our party and the night would not - and could not - have been what it was without them.
From the ceremony music and cocktail tracks to the reception songs and dancing set, everything was curated to perfection.
We want to thank Rich, the band lead who doubled as our MC, in particular for his patience and flexibility with our postponed-and-postponed-again celebration. Our wedding was originally scheduled for September 2020. Despite all the changes and challenges we were faced with over the last two years, Rich held us to the terms of our original contract and never passed on increased costs of inflation as I know many other vendors have. He accommodated our every request without complaint or hesitation and made the entire planning process as smooth and easy as can be.
To Rich and the entire New York Edge band, you guys are the real class act and we can’t thank you enough for putting us all in an Empire State of Mind and making it a night we’ll never forget!

Majority of our guests went out of their way to commend the band at our wedding, even our international guests for whom we were concerned about only playing English-language music. We largely gave the band free rein to play what they deemed to be the right music for the party at any point in time, and we are glad that we did not micromanage on this topic. The band read the room full of people of all ages, interacted with the crowd to bring our guests together, and played beautifully to keep the dance floor busy until the very last song.
Everyone, of all nationalities and languages, had a blast on the dance floor, in great part due to the infectious energy and excitement that the band brought (in heaps!) to the party.
We originally had an extensive selection process to find the music vendor for our wedding. At the end, we are very glad we worked with Rich and the NY Edge team. We cannot imagine having any other band to celebrate our special day.

From Day 1, my mom said, “You're having a band!”
We were so lucky to find New York Edge to play on our wedding day. Rich from New York Edge was so incredibly kind and helpful. From our planning meetings to the day, Rich walked us through it. We didn’t have to worry about dances or speeches, cake or dinner. We had an absolute BLAST dancing the night away. The energy was unparalleled. Thank you, New York Edge!

BOOK THEM ASAP! My family, friends husband and I are still talking about this band. Rich and his talented NY Edge team are incredible! Let's start back in 2018 when I got engaged. When looking for a band, I wanted one that could perform songs anywhere from Frank Sinatra to Billy Joel to Rihanna, and sing it well. Seriously. NY Edge's performance videos stood right out to us and I emailed Rich for a meeting. The professionalism and responsiveness was impressive right from the start. My fiancé, mom and I met him and our meeting sealed the deal. Rich is incredibly friendly, professional, organized and talented. He showed us an astonishing amount of their repertoire and let us listen to bits of songs that I threw at him.... like Rihanna. We were stoked and signed the contract. Flash forward to 2020 and the pandemic. Our September 2020 wedding had to be postponed to September 2021 and Rich and his team were nothing but supportive and was on board to postpone with us.
Along the way, I decided I wanted to surprise my husband with a medley of songs I'd sing for him and learn to play on the ukulele. Then I wanted the band to come in for when I would sing "I Wanna Grow Old With You." When I told Rich about my idea, he was pumped and we set up a meeting. Rich helped me orchestrate the best surprise I could give my husband on our wedding day. The band sounded great and Rich and his team were awesome at helping me make it as smooth as possible. Rich also helped my husband and I fulfill all our and our parents requested songs. From playing a medley of Billy Joel songs for my dance with my dad, to playing Fireball by Pitfall when shots were passed around, to playing a medley of songs from Back to The Future for the Anniversary Dance, they were truly amazing and flexible with our numerous requests. Not to mention that their repertoire on the wedding day was diverse for both our friends and older guests, their musicianship and sound was spectacular, and they had the dance floor filled the ENTIRE NIGHT! I also want to mention that Rich also makes the best MC for your wedding. He's a great leader at keeping your gusts informed and especially great at coming over and checking in with my husband and I about the special events to follow. I hadn't seen that with other bands at other weddings I've attended. I know this is a long review but I think it's necessary for everyone to know these important details so they can book this band that helped give my husband and I the BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES! Thank you Rich and the rest of the NY Edge Team!

Absolutely flawless experience working with New York Edge! Rich was awesome and they really showed up to make our night one to remember. We had a keyboard at our ceremony, 3 piece jazz at cocktail and 10 piece band at reception and it was all incredible. They get in with the crowd and get the party started and are so talented in what they do! Cannot recommend them enough! So so happy we went with them for our special day :)

Rich was flexible as our plans changed due to COVID--big wedding to a small, intimate gathering. Our original plan for the full band morphed into a quartet for the first half and the Rich serving as the DJ for the second half. Both parts worked out perfectly.

2020 was such a challenging year to have a wedding. We had to change our venue, guest list, and plans multiple times, but Rich and his team were flexible throughout. He would jump on a call with us at a moment's notice and always assured us that he could make adjustments as the situation changed. I honestly don't know what we would have done without him.
And then of course their music is top notch! He coordinated with my wife's brother to surprise her with an amazing song during the ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiRTv0YWwzQ&feature=emb_title
The band was great, the DJ was awesome, and Rich is an excellent MC. We've already recommended them to all of our friends.

I cannot recommend Rich enough! We were so excited to have him and the whole band play at the big wedding we planned for May 2020 , but like many other couples, we had to make (multiple!) last minute changes due to covid. Rich was understanding, kind, creative, and went above and beyond to help us out. He turned on a dime and transformed our initial 230 person "dance party" wedding into a classy event for 25 people that was a mix of a quartet & DJing. He gives great suggestions and guidance, is professional and trustworthy, clearly loves what he does, and is just a genuinely good person. Rich, we're so bummed we didn't get to experience the full of the magic of your whole band, but what you created for us could not have been more perfect. Thank you!

When I first met with Rich, he totally got my vision for the music and ambiance we were going for our wedding- and he nailed it. The band was super flexible in working with our budget and playing all our favorite tunes. They even worked with my brother to coordinate a song during our ceremony. The music is on point and the service is above and beyond- I couldn't recommend them more!

We can't thank you enough -- from the time you spent with us leading up to the wedding to getting everyone on the dance floor all night -- we are so grateful we found you and booked New York Edge. Our guests LOVED you guys and kept asking "where did you find this band!?" You are clearly very dedicated to your craft and your music, and it shows -- thank you so much for your enthusiasm throughout and helping make our wedding night so memorable. If you're reading this, book this band! You won't regret it! Love, Liz & Andrew

The moment I began wedding planning, I knew the band was the most important aspect to me. I made this clear to Rich. He played high-quality recordings of past performances and was so comfortable to speak with as he explained all options without being pushy. I also felt comfortable that he would be the MC of the reception. The day of the wedding left me speechless. He made the night flow and the band was simply incredible. From the first few songs, guests kept coming up to me asking where I found this band and if they played for celebrities and high-profile events. Could not have asked for a better experience. They made something I thought would be stressful into one of the easiest parts of the planning. Thank you Rich and crew for making the night truly unforgettable!

Look no further... New York Edge was the best decision we could have made for a wedding band! They literally had the dance floor packed ALL night long from the very first song. They came right out into the crowd - the energy was fantastic and our guests kept coming up to us all night telling is how great the band was.. they are still talking about it ! We had about 260 people - from 10 years to 90 years old and everyone loved them! They even played a few live Irish songs for our big Irish family. We had seen New York Edge at our friend’s wedding and loved them and couldn’t wait for them to play at ours. Rich - the band leader takes your wedding very seriously. we had some last minute additions and even changes to plans during the wedding and everything went seamlessly. They MADE the wedding and made it an Incredibly fun night. We even added on an 8th band member (horn) towards the end and we are SO happy we did! Both my husband’s parents and mine are big into music and they couldn’t say enough about New York Edge. Bottom line- Every song they played was awesome. Thank you from one very happy bride & groom!

New York Edge was everything we were looking for in a band and more. We got married a month ago and the band was one of our top 3 priorities for the reception. From our first contact with Rich he was amazing. He is so responsive and professional, and we talked to him A LOT during our planning stages. The night of we used them for ceremony music, cocktail hour music and the main reception. They also provided the sound set up for our outdoor ceremony. Not only did they sound amazing and play great songs, but the energy that they brought to the night was palpable. We danced for almost 2 hours straight and every one of our guests was raving about how great they were. Hardly anyone stayed sitting that night. We couldn't be happier with our choice and only wish that we could have another party so we could hire them again!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO BEYOND MUCH FOR MAKING THE MOST INCREDIBLE NIGHT!! Every single person said how amazing the band was. Everyone loved how you guys came onto the dance floor and you were all giving it 150%! People noticed that there was music playing every second and you guys didn't stop once. The music selection was perfect!!! I loved every song you played! The music during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful as well.
As for getting everyone out onto the dance floor - I couldn't have asked for anything more! Everyone was dancing and the floor was packed all night long which is exactly what we wanted. From the start we had a great feeling about your energy but you truly proved yourself on Saturday night! Everyone was dancing, even my 90 year old grandma :)
And the horah - WOW!!!! You gave Scott his horah that he dreamt of. People loved it! We all noticed how epic it was. It was definitely one for the books - long, fun, amazing, perfect music.. can't wait to see the video!
I also LOVED when we walked in and everyone made a path for us and for our first dance song everyone was around the dance floor. We loved how everyone surrounded us which is exactly what we wanted so thank you for doing that!!
Im already thinking about the next party we can have to use you guys - Scott said our kids bar/bat mitzvah but that's too far away haha
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR FULLLLLY DELIVERING AND GIVING US THE BEST PARTY! People are still commenting weeks later about how we had the best band and trust me, my friends have seen top bands!

NYE is fantastic! The band was such an important part of our wedding and they definitely delivered! Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night as the kept the energy level high with a diverse song list! Rich is incredibly well organized and as the MC helped us plan out the chronology of the entire evening. We also had some unusual requests like showing a video, for which they rented a projector for us, as well as DJing a Bollywood playlist for us. You really can’t go wrong with this very talented and cooperative band.

Everything was terrific, from the processional and working with my niece Amelia, to the music at cocktails to the reception itself. What a wonderful time and the interaction of you and your team with the crowd was fantastic. It all added to what was a spectacular event and party.
All the best,

Dear Rich and the NY Edge Band,
Thank you so much for everything! You were truly the highlight at our wedding - we received so many compliments from all our guests, especially on your ability to get (and keep) everyone on the dance floor and everyone loved how dynamic you all were on the dance floor yourselves (while performing!). From the moment we first met you last fall we were captivated by your energy and true love for music - we knew 5 minutes in that you were the only band for us! You guys are all incredible talents that really stood out to us from day one and in all our subsequent meetings with you. We’ve recommended you to all of our engaged friends so hopefully we can party with you again very soon!

Dear Rich,
Please accept this note as one of pure praise for you and your band’s performance at the wedding of our daughter Melissa to Mr. Patrick Forrester.
From the first chord played and verse sung to the very end of the night, you didn’t miss a beat, no pun intended. The volume level of your music was simply perfect during the dinner time as everyone could talk with one another. In terms of the variety of songs played, I’ve never experienced a wedding where the band had all the attendees dancing, you totally nailed it!
On behalf of Mrs. Weicker and myself along with the new Mr. & Mrs. Forrester, we extend our collective thanks and sincerest gratitude.

To the New York Edge: Thanks again for your outstanding performance at our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better band. You really outdid yourselves and kept the party popping - the dance floor was occupied the whole night and you made our special day one that we'll never forget

New York Edge Music was AWESOME! Choosing them to perform at and emcee our wedding was one of the best decisions, and helped make our wedding an unforgettable, smoothly run and fun event. Our guests loved the band and were very impressed with Rich and his team. They sound AMAZING live (trust me, the samples on their website, which are good, do not serve justice to how they sound live) and in addition to playing awesome dance sets, they played our first dance song and my father/daughter song perfectly (which was important for us because we had choreographed / practiced dances). Above all, New York Edge Music is great to work with, and Rich is an amazing communicator who is very responsive, understanding, thoughtful and organized. As the emcee, he had a strong handle of the entire wedding schedule and was familiar with my venue (as he is with almost every major venue in NY!) and helped guide our day. Would highly recommend!!

Honestly this review is SO OVERDUE (almost 11 months - embarrassingly), but I hope this review makes up for it!
My husband and I's most important vendor was definitely the band. We knew we wanted one and we spent WEEKS scouring the internet, youtube etc. to find the right fit. We got wind of New York Edge Music here on The Knot and we are SO grateful.
Over a year later we still have guest raving about how great the music was throughout the evening. The party did not stop and this band is no joke. They are the real deal and worth every penny.
We chose them because Rich just got "it". He was respectful of our choices (re: no play list!), but also was seasoned enough to tell us some choices that would only improve the atmosphere.
Two of our guests are actually using them for their own wedding this fall, because they fell in love with them at ours!
Run don't walk to book these guys, you will not regret it!!!!

What an amazing band! Truly magical. Our wedding was 10 years ago but they kept the magic going for our 10 year anniversary. What can I say, Rich and his band are incredible.

Rich is truly amazing. Some 10 years later he personally attended our private anniversary dinner on top of Tribeca Rooftop and sang/played our wedding song. Purely Magical! I would recommend Rich and his band NY Edge to anyone who cares about quality music and amazing integrity behind the craft. Thank you Rich!

Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more. New York Edge made our party. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and we did not want them to stop! They were amazing from our initial meeting and asking us what we expected to our wedding, which was an amazing party!! We could not have asked for a better band. You guys made our wedding exceptional!
Thank you for everything, Rich!!! It was an AMAZING PARTY!!!!

Our wedding was this past June 2018, and we can not thank NY Edge enough for the amazing performance!! Everyone - not an exaggeration - was asking about the band and saying how awesome they were, and we couldn’t agree more. Our guests had so much fun & so did we. As the bride and groom, we stayed on the dance floor the entire night - looking back on our pictures, it is clear that all our guests did to - there wasn't a full seat in the place!! The NY Edge made our wedding the happiest, most fun day of our lives. Without them, it would’ve been just another wedding. However, you made it the event of a life time which people are still (and will be) talking about forever. From the initial meeting to the final wrap up meeting, Rich was so accommodating, organized, and easy to work with. Cheers to you and the band for making our day so special!! Hope you guys had as much fun as we did! Thank you again Rich for all you did. You guys rock!!

THANK YOU for putting on such a fabulous performance at our wedding. We had an absolute blast, and I know the rest of our guests did too. Thank you also for being so wonderful, accommodating, and fun to work with in the months (year!) leading up to the wedding - we could not have asked for a better experience.
