New York Edge Music

out my vision for my wedding. The party was fantastic, more than we could have dreamed. Everyone commented that New York Edge was the best band they’d heard at any wedding. Thank you Rich for your extreme professionalism and most of all for the fabulous music!

and more!! We had so many people who texted us specifically saying the band was incredible and my parents who are really not at all into dancing were on the dance floor and afterwards told me they finally understood why having a live band was a million times better than a DJ. We danced and sang so hard I lost my voice for three days! If you're looking for a band that brings great energy and vibes, keeps everyone dancing, can read the room, and can also MC/help ensure the evening goes smoothly, look no further :)

ocess 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!

ou even managed to get the non dancers out on the dance floor! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

ver! 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!

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.

s 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!

so appreciative of this band. Wonderful service, people and music!

l 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!

e 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!

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!

ensembles were fantastic. The energy of the band was amazing and everyone is still talking about how great they were. We 100% recommend NY Edge!

ing. Everyone said the band was so incredible and definitely was the standout from our wedding. If you are thinking about hiring Rich and NY Edge, stop thinking, and just do it!

d hands. And they even worked with us to make sure our processional music was everything we wanted and more. The band brought the energy on the day of! All night long, I got compliments on just how great they sounded. I can't recommend this band enough!

ly 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.

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!

olutely electric! Rich also had the band play a song with my dad who's a drummer which will go down as one of my favorite memories ever!! THANK YOU NY EDGE for helping to make our wedding an unforgettable epic party!

re 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.

in frequent communication with the band leading up to the event and they accommodated us perfectly. The night couldn't have gone any better!

sts 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!!

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!

sive experience! If you’re looking for the perfect wedding band, book now!

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.

om 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! @newyorkedgemusic

and was in the middle of the party all night. Their energy, talent and music made our wedding a huge hit, thank you New York Edge!

to play MP3 files of specific songs we requested for the first dance and parent dances. Thanks again for a great night of music!

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!

unded fantastic and kept the party going all night!

he party was so much fun - great music, high energy and kept everyone engaged in dancing. They also learned our first song for us by request which was really great and appreciated.

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 :)

he Rich serving as the DJ for the second half. Both parts worked out perfectly.

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.

we had everything we wanted! Best decision we made through the entire wedding planning process!!

tiple!) 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!

get 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!

n amazing time. So many friends and family approached us saying how incredible the bad was, and with a few more weddings in the family pipeline, I’m sure we’ll be doing some more dance sets with New York Edge in the future!

d will work with you to ensure your day is flawless. You cannot go wrong hiring them. The talent is incredible!!!

g 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

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!

Every guest at our party - ages 8 to 84 - were all dancing through the night. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!

y 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!

tact 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!
