MUSICAL DIRECTOR & BANDLEADER
SUAG (Suit Up And Groove) is a high-energy live wedding band based in New York, serving NYC, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, Connecticut, and the entire tri-state area. We specialize in creating seamless wedding entertainment experiences - from ceremony and cocktail hour to packed dance floor receptions.
SUAG represents the next evolution of a seasoned group of professional musicians formerly known as EV Band, a well-established wedding band recognized for exceptional performances and client satisfaction on platforms like The Knot and WeddingWire. While the brand has evolved, our core talent, experience, and commitment to excellence remain the same, now with a fresh identity and modern approach.
Our live wedding band features dynamic vocalists, an energetic horn section, and a versatile lineup performing a wide range of music, including Top 40, Motown, pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, and Latin favorites such as salsa, bachata, and merengue. For cocktail hour, ceremonies, and elegant moments, we also offer jazz ensembles and curated acoustic sets.
As a bilingual wedding band (English and Spanish), we seamlessly blend cultures and genres to match your vision, whether you’re looking for an elegant atmosphere, a high-energy party, or a mix of both. We also accommodate special traditions, including the hora, Latin dance sets, and custom requests tailored to your celebration.
What sets SUAG apart is our ability to combine the energy of a live band with the smooth flow of a professional DJ and MC. This hybrid approach ensures continuous music, smooth transitions, and a packed dance floor all night long.
From your first dance to the final song, SUAG delivers a personalized, unforgettable wedding experience your guests will be talking about long after the celebration ends.

h. The band's performance exceeded all of our expectations. The musicians and singers were incredibly talented, kept the energy high all night, and had our guests on the dance floor from start to finish. One of the highlights of the evening was when they played the Hora for our family and friends. We couldn't believe how seamlessly they incorporated it into the celebration, and it created one of the most memorable moments of our wedding day. We've received countless compliments from our guests about the band, and people are still talking about how amazing the music was. We truly can't get over how much they contributed to making our wedding unforgettable.
