We booked Mark with the Projekt along with Marty from MRG productions for a band/DJ hybrid, and everyone was awesome!
For the ceremony, we had a cello, violin, and tracks and it all sounded great together! We had asked them to prepare specific...
songs for the ceremony and we really appreciated how transparent Mark was with us on what he did and didn't think would sound good from his expertise.
Sanford was our sax player during the cocktail hour and he was fantastic. For the reception we had two singers, a percussionist, and sax...and Mark made a special appearance on the guitar and crushed it. Everyone was phenomenal!! They worked together seamlessly with our DJ and MC from MRG productions. They were so fun too, really engaging with us and our guests, which is what we wanted. We're still getting compliments from family and friends about how incredible the music was and how much fun they had.
Thank you to Mark and his team for making our wedding day from ceremony to reception such a blast!!!
This band was recommended to me by a colleague. I can't say enough good things about The Projekt! They were professional and open to any and all requests we had. They kept the party going at my wedding. Every guest told me how amazing the mu...
sic was! I would highly recommend the Projekt for any event. They truly were an integral part in making my wedding an amazing & unforgettable event.
The Projekt is UNBELIEVABLE! They were our band for our wedding last week and I can't say enough great things! Mark was wonderful at communicating with us and making sure our reception was personalized to us. He was open with suggestions and ev...
en more open when we had specifics we wanted covered. Every member of the band stood out and was incredible, from the lead singers, to Mark slaying it on the guitar, to the drummer who had KILLER vocals. They played every genre- disco, funk, top hits, the Hora, 80's, big band. They made our party everything we could have ever imagined. Everyone kept saying how amazing they were and we are a music/theater group! I hope to have another big party in the future so we can hire them again!
The Projekt was amazing at our wedding! Mark was so easy to work with and listened and followed through with every request I had. I had nothing to worry about at all. They played an awesome set of Italian music that had everyone, young and old,...
on the dance floor and having a blast. Also the perfect mix of oldies classics and new hits. Everyone was up and dancing the entire time. Have gotten some many compliments on the band and music at our wedding. It was literally perfection!!! I couldn’t have asked for anything else. The 10-piece band with the horns section made our wedding! I highly recommend The Projekt for any wedding or event they were simply perfect!
Last night was everything that Caitlin and Jack had imagined it to be and a huge part of it was the incredible music and entertainment ! Bring all your love and family and friends to the party and there is nothing like a live band. Engaged, int...
eractive, singing playing and dancing through the crowd! Horns blasting it up. So perfect. Not a dull moment on the dance floor all night. Thank you Mark and Co !

The Right Choice!
There are a few extremely crucial elements in determining the success of a wedding reception, and choosing the right band is among them. The Projekt was absolutely the right choice. Combining their superb vocals and amazing in...
strumentals, The Projekt kept the dance floor full all throughout the night. Right from the start of the reception, and until the last note was played, our guests commented on the amazing band -- both their sound, and their selection of music. I must give a specific shout-out to Jen and Louis who sang Andrea Bocelli & Celine Dion's "The Prayer." It left the guests in awe.
But there's more to this success than the actual performance. The planning part is crucial, and working with Mark was an absolute pleasure. He took the time to understand what music we wanted, and the selection and variety were spot on. Mark was professional and responsive to all of our requests.
I hope to be a guest at another wedding where the Projekt is playing so I can enjoy them again.
Stop looking & book The Projekt now!!! All our guests were raving about how incredible the band was - they absolutely made the evening! Their repertoire is incredible versatile & they give a super high-energy performance without being cheesy (...
which is difficult to navigate.) Mark is a dream to work with, incredibly warm & accommodating to our requests. I cannot recommend The Projekt enough!!
5000000000000000 Stars!!!!!!!! This band MADE our wedding! Such nice people! Such fantastic voices and music!! There is no other wedding band out there that is better than The Projekt! If you are reading this review right now, stop looking, bec...
ause you just found your wedding band! Thank you guys for making our day so special and fun!!

The Projekt was our band for our wedding on 12/8/2018. My husband and I had the time of our lives! Our guests are still raving about the Projekt and how wonderful they were. They knew exactly the right songs to play and the dance floor was pack...
ed the entire night! Mark really spent time understanding the type of music that we wanted. The band is so talented and every song they played was wonderful! I would recommend the Projekt to any couple. Our guests have told us our wedding was one of the best that they have ever been to. That wouldn't be possible without the Projekt!
I wish I could give The Projekt more than five stars. They are hands down the best band and the nicest people. They are everything that you could ever want and more. Our guests were dancing the entire night and we have received so many complime...
nts, everyone is asking about them. Mark and Cookie are the absolute best! I wish we could use them for every party!
Mark and the Projekt were absolutely incredible. We had a day-time wedding and could not believe the amount of energy that they pulled out of the crowd. Our venue, family and friends were all asking for their information at the end of our recep...
tion and were blown away by each set. Seriously, don't hesitate and book them. We first saw them perform a set in Long Island and also went to a previous wedding with them in 2012, all great. They're the real deal and you know what you're getting.

THIS BAND IS INCREDIBLE. I can't speak highly enough of each and every one of them, their consideration for my day on a personal level, or their enthusiasm for making the party as fantastic as they could. They ROCKED IT is an understatement. My...
self and my guests couldn't get enough and couldn't stop raving about them afterwards.
They took all of my thoughts and requests to heart, and made the night so special and fun. Their talent and cohesiveness as a band is truly amazing and they continued to blow me away song after song. Thank you for making my night a dream come true!!
We had the Projekt band at our couples wedding shower at Terrace on the Park 4/29/18 and they were simply phenomenal! All the guests were raving about them and even now months after the event we are still receiving compliments about them. They ...
played a variety of music as I requested and even for the ones that were not able to be played live they accommodated my requests by having a mini dj setup on hand. They are very professional and the entire process of booking them was stress free. Would highly recommend for any event. Will definitely be hiring them again.
Thank you Projekt band for making my event a huge success!

I can't say enough good things about The Projekt. When my husband and I fell in love with the band from the day we heard them at the showcase. At our wedding, they completely blew us away. They are the best wedding band I've ever heard, and th...
ey had all of our guests dancing the entire night. I'm not kidding when I say the dance floor was packed, including people I never thought would dance. Their transitions, song selection and ability to read the crowd were incredible. My husband and I loved them so much, we looked to see when they would be performing next for the public so we could go see them again. If there is one thing you don't want to stress over for your wedding, book the Projekt. Mark is great and is very responsive and willing to work with you to make sure you're happy every step of the way.
Everyone at our wedding was raving about the band The Projekt! They are obviously very accomplished musicians who have been playing together for a long time and it shines through on every song. You feel more like you’re at a concert than list...
ening to a typical wedding band. The dance floor was always PACKED and the mix of music was perfect. They carried the wedding from the ceremony through the reception without a hitch. I can’t say enough about Mark Danti and The Projekt. The entire band was very friendly and very easy to work with. I wouldn’t change a thing – they were GREAT!
We saw The Projekt Band while out to dinner one night and decided to hire them for our engagement party. They were a hit!! It was amazing to hear songs on the radio and some throwbacks. You didn't even realize it was live singers! The band show...
ed up on time and were so fun to work with. They felt the crowd and played music that went along with our guests likes. We loved having them and plan to use them for future occasions!
Couldn’t have asked for a better band. The Projekt worked with us from the beginning when our wedding date changed and were so accommodating and understanding. Couldn’t have asked for more. All my guests raved about them!
Thank you The Projekt for making my wedding unbelievably amazing. We knew from the showcase that they would be good, but Mark and his band simply blew us away the day of the wedding. He was so easy to work with and took the time before the wedd...
ing to speak with my husband and me about what we expected, what we wanted, and what we didn't want. We literally sat on the phone together in the week before the wedding for an hour deep in discussion. Mark wouldn't quit until he was certain he would get our wedding songs exactly right. We planned a first dance to an atypical song, that we found on a random youtube video, and the band nailed it and hit every note - they did not disappoint. We are so grateful for the great music, inspiration and chutzpah they brought to our special day. All our guests agree. THANK YOU MARK!!
We love The Projekt!!! So many of my guests came up to me asking where I found them, and if I could please send their information. They kept the dance floor going all night, and they sounded amazing! Mark worked so well with me leading up to th...
e wedding, making sure he had all of the information about our taste in music and any announcements that needed to be made. We would use them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone!
The Projekt was amazing at my wedding! The keyboardist provided music for my ceremony and I hired the 9 piece band for our reception. So many of my guests raved about the music. We had a great time at our event, and the music was central to ...
providing the atmosphere and energy to make it a party! I highly recommend adding the horns to the core 5 performers...it adds a higher level of excitement and fullness to the music. Our guests loved the music and danced the night away!
The Projekt played my wedding and I was soo happy we booked them. They learned two songs for us our first dance song which was a slower rock song and a mom/son dance. The best part was for the encore at the end of the night they played the regu...
lar version of our first dance song! It was a great memory of my wedding! They had the dance floor packed all night everyone loved them. Some people thought we were listening to a DJ. They went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. They played a good mix of songs and I let them pick our cake cutting song and songs for the ceremony and they were awesome! I highly recommend them for any event!
The Projekt was the band at my wedding and they were fantastic. They are all such talented musicians and knew how to get everyone up and dancing. We had some strange song requests, but they learned them all and our guests loved their range of...
styles and musical eras. They worked closely with us to make sure the timing of everything was right and the event flowed perfectly.
As our wedding band, The Projekt was easily able to play a variety of music for all ages. They played continuously through the night, taking one break during dinner. Many guests commented on how great they were - they sound like the original so...
ng most times! With their playing, the party never stopped.
While they are worth it to have at your wedding, make sure you confirm all conversations and emails. Follow every email up with a phone call so that you don't find out two days before the wedding that they might be unable to play one of the parent dances due to lost emails. Furthermore, make sure you're clear about your "Must Play" list. In the end, though, it all worked out, and we had a wonderful time.
As a long time fan and follower of this band, I always knew how great they were. They are all so talented and amazing, my guests were shocked to see it was really them singing the songs. They are well versed in all the genres, and appeal to t...
he very young and young at heart. I am still getting calls about how excellent they performed. You need not look any further, if you want the best!
Fabulous Band!!!! Mark Danti and Cookie were absolutely wonderful. The band kept our guests dancing all day and night. They were perfect! We would highly recommend them, still getting compliments on the music for the wedding.
This band is amazing. Played a great mix of our selection got so many compliments all night. Great people to work with. Would def recommend
The Projekt was an amazing band!!! They have all been together for years and their closeness really shows in their performance. We went to numerous other band showcases and just couldn't imagine any of the others singing at our wedding. They ...
were also the best value that we found having MUCH better prices than every other band we went to see. Getting an 8 piece band sounds like it could be expensive, but they made it worth it.
Mark was great to deal with and couldn't have been more helpful during the wedding planning process. They honored every song request I gave them and even offered to learn songs they didn't know (get that to them asap so they can practice). We even used their "lighting guy" to add uplighting to our reception site. (additional charge of course) We also hired a steel drummer through them to play during the cocktail hour - what an amazing touch to a beach wedding!!! I don't know his name but he was great as well.
We got compliments all night as well as after the fact. Family members said that they just stared in amazement and couldn't believe the range of voices the singers had....going from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga. They had people up and dancing the whole night! It was an amazing night that was made even better by the amazing range of music that The Projekt was able to sing!
All 200 guests were on the dance floor before dinner! Incredible! They read the audience and delivered! I'm still hearing compliments and being asked for their information. They really know what they're doing! Very talented! Tons of genres for ...
all crowds! Went to a showcase and booked that night! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
The Projekt kept my friends and family out on the dance floor all night long! My family was actually disappointed when dinner was served because it was time to take a break from dancing! They can play any style of music. Very talented musicia...
ns. Loved it!
I could not say enough good things about the Projeckt. They were worth every penny, my entire wedding was up dancing the entire time. They played songs to appeal to my grandparents generation all the way up to lady Gaga, and everything in betwe...
en. I can't rant and rave about them enough, everybody has been coming up to me and telling me how it's the best band they've ever heard.
I can not say enough good things about The Projekt. We had never seen them live we picked them from their DVD it was the only one that we felt wasn't a cheesfest.
They had a piano player playing standards and some showtunes (to reflect my t...
heatre major) during cocktails who was wonderful.
When we got to the dance floor it was JAM PACKED all night! They played things on our must play list (and didn't touch those on our do not play) and they could see what songs the crowd really liked and played some similar songs as well.
They were not annoying or obtrusive during dinner or with their commentary. Anything they said was well said and had a purpose.
They are very talented and looked fantastic! Everyone still says how great they were and we had friends dancing who I have never seen on a dance floor before!
We had one person playing the piano. He was the pianist from the bad we hired for our reception. He made the music soft and elegant.
