Skylark Music

garden area perfectly during the cocktail hour. Many guests mentioned how impressed they were by the variety of instruments they play and their custom arrangements! For our dinner and reception, Justin stayed and DJed. He played a great selection of songs for dinner, but really lit up the dance floor for the reception. We had a small wedding of only 50 people and were worried that few people would dance, but this was far from the case! Justin reads the crowd masterfully and intersperses party classics with your music tastes seamlessly like he can read your mind. Thank you for the best party of our lives!

hour. We wanted jazzy music, and they suggested the combination of instruments and played music that my musician aunt described as "unobtrusive and pleasant," and said they were at the perfect volume for people who wanted to chat and for people who wanted to listen to the music.

g to learn/arrange our relatively obscure choices. The arrangements sounded gorgeous, and getting to walk down the aisle to songs so meaningful to us was an incredible experience. Additionally, my family performed a song during the ceremony, and Justin helped make sure it sounded terrific. The jazzy vibe during cocktail hour was really fun and kicked off the party perfectly. Highest recommendation!!!

and positive spirit go a long way in ensuring your guests have the best time enjoying covers to some of today's top hits, and also classic and timeless songs. 10/10 recommend!!!

cocktail hour. Afterwards Justin switched to DJing for our reception, and everyone loved the music selections! We're still getting compliments from our friends and family for how good these musicians were!

m for any wedding that wants some soul! Besides their musicianship, they were easy to deal with, accommodating, professional and just straight up cool guys. Thank you Justin & Jesse

enough good things about their responsiveness and willing to help. My husband and I had a Catholic ceremony. Jesse was extremely helpful in providing us recommendations and telling us what would work well. On wedding day they showed up on time and played music as our guests were entering the church. They also were able to go to our venue afterwards to play for cocktail hour. As requested, Jesse and Justin played mainly jazz and added some Disney flare per our request. Our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed listening to Jesse and Justin during cocktail hour and how they added a nice ambiance. Our only regret is that we did not have more time to listen to them on a busy wedding day. I would highly recommend Skylark music for any event. Thank you Jesse and Justin!

Billy Joel for the groom/family processional. They played “Dark Side of the Gym” by The National for the bridal processional and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by Queen for the recessional. It seems like they will do just about anything - and they have great suggestions if you’re not sure what you want. We got so many compliments from our guests on their music and their vibe. They were flexible, accommodating, punctual, and responsive to inquiry. We think Skylark Music added so much to our event and are so glad we booked them!

uper helpful, communicative and responsive, making sure that we were prepared. They played our ceremony and recession songs beautifully, and even helped us figure out the best point in the song to start walking down the aisle. The live cocktail hour music was also great: it was tasteful, classy, fun and incorporated our song requests. After cocktail hour Justin stuck around and Dj’ed the wedding, he did a great job of matching the vibe of the crowd - even though we had a small intimate wedding with no dance floor, many people got out and started dancing! Would highly recommend working with Skylark - they make the process fun and easy and their love and knowledge of music truly shows!

us how much they enjoyed the music while waiting for the wedding to begin. They were punctual, nicely dressed, and kind people! I would recommend them to anyone for any event! If I had a more traditional wedding (pre/post-covid), we would have hired them for the entire wedding! Thank you guys! Emily and Mat I want to add that I received this specific message from my officiant "Your musicians were phenomenal, I have never had a bride walk down the aisle to Gymnopede, I was shook, it was so. good. ".

and they nailed it, from Hotel California to an unknown Nashville country song. I felt like the vocals on our first dance song were a little muffled, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who felt that way. Overall, a great job from this talented duo.

uch they played during dinner & even DJ’ed for us. Everyone loved their live music and the music they DJ’ed, they completely made our day!! Thank you again guys, we’ll always be grateful 💕

r vision to life. They arrived in a monsoon of a rainstorm to set up and never complained. Thankfully we had a pavilion, otherwise, it would not have been possible. I know that multiple guests asked for their information to book them for a future party. They were truly amazing and responsive throughout the entire process. While our wedding day was beautiful, the music that inspired it made it that much better.

wedding had to be delayed by an hour and a half, but luckily Justin and Jesse were there to keep the guests that had arrived entertained with their music while they waited. I also appreciated that they learned the songs that I envisioned my bridal party and I walking down the aisle to, which helped make the moment even more magical. My now husband and I were very happy with their services and would hire them again!

ing. They were very responsive to any questions we had and gently guided us through our selections for the ceremony and reception. And they are resonably priced. Many guests complimented us on our choice of Skylark after the wedding. Do not hesitate to contact them.

groups into college), so we were thrilled to have Skylark Music perform a variety of classic jazz standards (and a few newer numbers) that were meaningful to us. Their repertoire is impressive, and the flexibility to perform songs as either accompanied vocal works or instrumental duets was likewise a big draw for us. Furthermore, they were always very responsive to our messages, friendly, and professional. If we held another event we wanted to make classy and enjoyable, we'd definitely contact Skylark again!

en we changed our minds on songs, and put our minds at ease when we had questions. Most importantly though, the music was perfect during the ceremony. They knocked everything out of the park and added such a special touch on the biggest day of our lives

g coordinator and put on an amazing performance. The guests, children, everyone throughly enjoyed the music. The music at our venue sounded exactly how it did on Jesse's website or even better. I would highly recommend Jesse for any wedding!

ns when I couldn't decide, and were incredibly accommodating in learning new songs and playing with multiple instruments for the arrangements I desired. Could not recommend more!

rn wedding. Justin was very nice to work with and help coordinate everything. Plus, since they're based upstate, they were much cheaper than musicians in NYC. Overall, wonderful guys who add a unique touch to any occasion.

hat they got everything right when the moment came. And WOW was it effective. Between Justin's guitar and voice and the accompanying mandolin, our song set the perfect tone for the rest of the evening- conveying intimacy and whimsy and a little humor. We loved working with them and would happily call on them again if we had another occasion! Thank you so much, Skylark!

and ending to our ceremony. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and flexible duo to play at their wedding!
