It’s hard to put into words just how incredible The Suyat Band is. Beyond their immense raw talent, they are a beautiful group of people whose presence radiates the most soulful energy. My husband and I first saw the band at a local shore bar after getting engaged. We only caught a snippet of Matt singing “Tennessee Whiskey” before we had to leave, but we were instantly captivated. The next day, we returned to the bar to ask the name of the band. The bartender immediately exclaimed that everyone the night before could not stop talking about how they wished they had another wedding just so they could hire The Suyat Band. That was all we needed to hear. We reached out, and Kyle got in touch right away. Our initial conversation lasted an hour, covering everything from the black tie attire they would wear to the song selection process, and by the end, we knew we had found our wedding band. From that moment on, we never had a single doubt about our choice. The band is a collection of some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, so full of passion for what they do, and they are INCREDIBLE performers. Kyle and Matt were made to perform, and it’s clear the second you meet them. Throughout the wedding planning process, Kyle was our main contact, and he was always responsive and helpful—whether by email, text, or phone. You can tell how much he genuinely cares about his clients, and his warm, kind personality reflects the entire band’s vibe.
The band’s performance at our wedding was absolutely unforgettable. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them, and the range of music they played kept everyone, from every generation, dancing all night. My husband and I are now lifelong fans of The Suyat Band, and as my husband says, “it wasn’t just a wedding performance, it was a concert!” If you’re considering The Suyat Band for your wedding, stop hesitating. Go see them live, and you’ll know right away—it’ll be one of the best decisions you’ll make for your big day.

Where to even begin!! The Suyat Band was everything I could have wanted and more in a wedding band - and wedding DJ! My husband and I had a NYE wedding and so our reception was extra long. Kyle and the whole band played until 10:30pm and then we transitioned into a DJ for the “after party” and to ring into the new year. The vibes were IMMACULATE! We have an eclectic music taste with friends and family from all over - and everyone was so happy with the music. When your parents, your parents friends, aunts and uncles, your friends, and your little cousins all say how amazing the band was - you know they have a wide range of talent and something for everyone while keeping the night so energetic! Kyle and the team were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. I am a bit of a procrastinator, and they were so accommodating down to the day of on how I wanted things to go and last minute changes I made. I could NOT recommend them more - The Suyat Band is a critical piece to making your wedding or event unforgettable! Thank you Kyle, Matt and the whole team for an unreal night!

WOW! I don't even know where to begin in expressing how great the Suyat Band was at our wedding. From start to finish this band had everyone on their feet! The band is what makes a wedding and this band is incredible! They know how to read the crowd and play the best songs. The band is professional, always answered all of my questions and truly cared that we had the best day! I can't wait to see the Suyat Band play again!

The Suyat band was everything and more than I could have ever imagined for my wedding band! I first saw them at a bar in Asbury Park and my friends and I couldn't stop talking about them. Fast forward to 2 years later they're playing at my wedding. They are by far the best wedding band I, and everyone that was in attendance, have ever heard. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Words cannot fully capture how crucial The Suyat Band was to the success of our wedding! After experiencing their magic at a friend's wedding in 2022, we were eager to refer them to my sister-in-law, who ended up booking them in 2023. When it was our turn to plan, we actually booked our venue around their availability for October 2024—and they only got better with time!
From the very start, Kyle made the planning process seamless. His responsiveness and genuine enthusiasm made communication a joy. It felt like we had a partner in this journey, and that level of professionalism was evident throughout.
The entire band is extraordinarily talented, and Kyle and Matt truly excelled at keeping the energy alive all night long. Our guests—nearly 200 of them—have been raving about the band's performance since the wedding, and it’s been three weeks! We can’t thank Kyle, Matt, Jeff, Oscar, Brian, Connor, Dan, Jade, Sara, Mike & Sebastian enough for making our night unforgettable. If you want to elevate your event with a phenomenal musical experience, look no further than The Suyat Band!

The talent of Matt and Kyle speaks for itself , anyone who sees them perform could see that so I'd like to take a second to talk about their professionalism and attention to detail to make your wedding day as perfect as you hoped it would be. Choosing Matt and Kyle as our entertainment was the best decision we made. Coming from a bride who dreaded the wedding planning process , Kyle was a delight to work with. They made sure to play every song and really understood the vision we had for our wedding. If you are looking to hire them for your wedding day , or any other event you may be having, they are worth every penny !

We almost have no words for how absolutely incredible Kyle, Matt and the band are—both as people, and as performers.
Let’s start with the planning process: Kyle was awesome to work with for the last year and half—his knowledge, communication, understanding & passion is unmatched. I mean it when I say he truly helped us plan the party of the year! We checked in several times and he took on every single of our requests with an “absolutely”. You can just tell how much he loves doing this, and he made us feel so so special and cared for throughout the entire planning process.
Now onto the actual wedding day: frankly, it was epic. So many of our guests kept coming up to us during the wedding and since to tell us how incredible they were. The lead singer, Matt, has an unbelievable energy as a person and a performer. His voice is beautiful and makes every big song so special. Every member of that band is so talented and welcoming.
Included in our booking was a ceremony musician (keys), cocktail hour (guitar), and a full band for the reception. Everything was amazing—the entire band is so talented and engaging, AND they allowed my husband on the mic to surprise me with a performance of Jersey Girl.
We wish they could perform at every wedding we go to. It is worth EVERY penny to book this band, trust us.

Book the Suyat Band!! They are so talented, know how to keep the party going, and have such a wide range of music they are able to crush. Everyone loved them and the dance floor was always full!
Apart from being talented, Kyle is incredibly professional and easy to work with throughout the planning process. He answered all of our questions and kept it fun like it’s supposed to be. We had 100% trust in him and the band for the big day and they delivered!!

My husband and i were extremely picky and nervous about choosing a band for our wedding. We knew that a good band means a good party, and we like to party. After checking out our options, we went with The Suyat Band, and we’re so glad we did.
Kyle was awesome from the start—super friendly, responsive, and really patient with all our questions. He worked with us to make sure everything was perfect.
We had a pianist for our wedding ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful. He was able to cover a few songs we had picked and they sounded perfect, and the jazzy quartet for cocktail hour added a classy touch that everyone loved. For our reception, we did a 10 piece band and they absolutely KILLED IT! Matt is a great MC and definitely got the party going. The band was lively and full of energy. They covered a Rufus du Sol song for our first dance, as well as some others and we were super impressed. They even did an Indian song and the horah and tarnatella. Everything was incredible. 10/10 would recommend.

We set up a call with Kyle immediately after seeing the band perform live because the music was great and the performance was so fun. What a great decision! The 11-piece band made our reception the most fun night of our lives. What really makes this band great is their skill, professionalism, communication, and variety of music. They worked very well with us, our venue, and coordinator and were always available to jump on the phone anytime we had questions about the night. We had plenty of requests which weren’t listed on their website and they had no problem playing them and playing them phenomenally. The night was engaging and everyone was on the dance floor. We even joined in on the performance as lead singers! So much fun! Thank you all!

Stop any debate you might be having and hire this band. HANDS DOWN THE BEST. They rocked our wedding the entire night start to finish. A perfect blend of modern and old school for everyone in the crowd. We had a T. Swift themed wedding and they unexpectedly delivered a little mini concert and absolutely killed Cruel Summer. Whether or not that's your style, it was beyond what we expected. Kyle was a pleasure to work with, and extremely professional in all aspects. He takes pride in guiding you through an incredibly overwhelming process. After all discussions with him you're left feeling secure that they've mastered the agenda, and they really do. From business to performance they are absolutely an 11/10!!!

It truly does not get better than The Suyat Band. If you are looking for a band with high energy that will exceed your expectations, they are IT. The band played the perfect blend of modern and old school, which kept every single person at our 250 person wedding on the dance floor. They were also so interactive with the crowd, which was our favorite part. The MC (Suyat) was so smooth in his presentation, and nothing felt corny like some weddings I have been to. Throughout the process, they were in constant communication with us and diligently answered any and all questions we may have had. Since they have experience at many different types of venues, their set up was seamless and they were professionals from the moment they got there to the minute they left. I could go on and on about the perfection of this band. If you were trying to pick your band, take this as your sign to look no further!!

The Suyat Band played our wedding reception and they were absolutely incredible! Best wedding band I've ever heard. They were so helpful with every step of the process leading up to wedding day. They answered all of our questions, gave us plenty of options, but also gave us some needed direction as well. They are total professionals! The reception was absolutely amazing! They coordinated with the venue, sounded terrific, and interacted/engaged with the guests in a way that really got the party going. We could not recommend them highly enough!

We love the Suyat Band. Our friends had the Suyat Band play at their wedding and when we saw them we immediately booked them for our wedding. They were easy to work with, competent when dealing with our other vendors, flexible to our needs, and kept the wedding on schedule. Oh and they are excellent musicians. The energy they brought to the wedding was tremendous. They had all our guests on the dancefloor the entire night. 10/10 would wedding with them again

5 stars simply aren't enough! We booked the band after seeing them live, 2 years before our wedding--it was the first wedding planning decision that we made, before choosing a venue or picking a date! Yes, they're that amazing! Kyle (epic sax, guitar, singer, what can't he do??) guided us along the way and couldn't have been more helpful and sweet, accommodating special requests as well. We used them for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they were completely spectacular all day long. When my mom, who uses a cane, was being introduced into the ceremony, she felt at ease when Matt danced along and she could feel at ease with his guidance. He also simultaneously calmed nerves and pumped us up when we all were getting ready for our intros. And this is on top of what an absolutely exquisite singer he is! The whole band was simply phenomenal, and the dance floor was packed and the place was just electric! So many guests were raving about the band, and one of my neighbors growing up actually got their business card during the reception for an event that he is planning! They are simply the best, and you won't regret booking them! Thanks again for making our day absolutely perfect!

THE GREATEST YOU CAN GET!
As a band teacher and musician myself, my wife and I knew we wanted to hire the best wedding band that we could find. Hiring the Suyat band was the best decision we could have made and a no brainer. To start, planning with Kyle was nothing but positive, easy, and clear. Kyle made sure that every duck was in a row for the day of our wedding in terms of timing, song requests, entrances, and logistics with the venue. My wife and I have both known Kyle since we played in band in high school together and cannot praise him for his professionalism, passion for what he does, and attention to detail. He was able to accommodate our song requests and even offered great suggestions on how to make our ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour smooth and enjoyable for all.
In terms of the music, THEY ARE THE BEST. Kyle and Matt were remarkable in their roles from start to finish and brought fantastic energy to our entire ceremony and reception. You are getting the highest quality musicianship and the most talented musicians in the tri-state area. Matt and the other two female vocalists had incredible voices that were complimented by the spectacular sound of the full horn section. Being in the music world, I have heard a bunch of wedding bands, and none have the amazing refined and polished sound that Suyat is able to achieve. Our guests were all blown away and we received TONS of compliments that night about how great the band was. Our guests loved them so much that when it came time for the second set, people had already gathered on the dance floor in anticipation for the band to start. Weeks later and we are still receiving compliments about Suyat and how much fun everyone had dancing with them all night. If you are looking to bring your wedding to the next level, or looking for the absolute best band look no further. You found them here!

There are nothing but great things to be said about Kyle, Matt, and the entire Suyat Band. They kept the dance floor packed the entire night, and did an amazing job integrating our "do & don't plays" with current songs from their set list to make sure we had a great mix of favorites for all of our guests. My mom was in the ER the week of the wedding and we weren't sure she'd be able to attend. She luckily made it, but had to rest most of the reception. When she made it back down, I mentioned to Matt that my dad would love at least one slow song to be played before the end of the evening so they could dance together. Matt proceeded to walk over and serenade them to the most amazing version of "You Are The Best Thing" that had everyone in tears. He also found a guest of ours after the reception ended and played his ukulele and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" because she mentioned that her and her dad danced to that song for her own wedding. Not only are they talented, they are a genuine and kind group, and you can tell they really care about making their couples' weddings special. We'd have zero hesitation booking them again and have already referred them to friends & family!

I don’t have enough good things to say about The Suyat Band. It was so important to my fiancé and I to find a great band for our wedding (I come from a family of musicians so this wasn’t an easy task) but Kyle, Matt and the whole band exceeded all of our expectations. Our guests have been continuously telling us how amazing the music was… they kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They truly set the tone for the evening and I couldn’t have asked for a better group to party with us!!! Absolutely amazing!

The Suyat Band is literally the best there is. All I wanted for my wedding was a fun and memorable party for my guests, and boy did they deliver. Working with Kyle was a dream, he took my vision and exploded it. I am obsessed with with their medleys and he made me my own very special Taylor swift medley. It was insane. My friends and family are still talking about our wedding, and a huge part of that is this band. We couldn’t have imagined our day without them. There should be absolutely no doubt in your mind…. BOOK THEM NOW!

WOW WOW WOW. Where to even begin. I’ll start by saying this…if you’re on the fence about booking the Suyat band for your wedding/event the answer should be a resounding 100% YES!!! My wife and I were lucky enough to book the Suyat band for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made, if not the best. To put things in perspective, we got to hear the Suyat band about 2 years before our wedding for a small private event. To say we were blown away is an understatement. So much so that we literally chose our wedding date based on their availability and thank god we did because they were sensational. Planning was an absolute breeze with Kyle as he was incredibly accommodating and always quick to respond to emails. For our wedding we had an acoustic duo for the ceremony, jazz duo for cocktail hour, and 5 piece band/DJ for the reception. All of which absolutely crushed it. (Side note, we paid extra to have their sound guy setup each spot which was well worth it). I could go on and on about how all our guests raved about the band or how a month after the wedding I still get messages from family and friends about how much fun they had at the wedding, a large part thanks to Kyle and Matt for putting on a great show. At the end of the day, please do yourself a favor and book the Suyat band for your event. I promise you won’t regret it.

My husband and I have seen the Suyat band play many times at local bars and restaurants so when we got engaged we knew right away we wanted them to play for our wedding. 10/10 recommend booking the Suyat band for your next event! From start to finish they were absolutely incredible. They played at my wedding on 9/14 and we can’t say enough good things about this band. Such talented and professional entertainers. The wide variety of music they play makes them the PERFECT band to get everyone on the dance floor. Matthew & Kyle were amazing to work with and made this part of planning our wedding a breeze. So thankful they were apart of our special day!

The Suyat Band made our wedding absolutely spectacular! We had an 11-piece band which included four vocalists for for reception, plus a keyboardist for the ceremony and a guitarist for the cocktail hour. My husband loves pop punk, which is one of the main reasons they appealed to us. They had songs on their set list like Ocean Avenue, My Friend's Over You, Sugar We're Going Down, etc. They absolutely killed it. People were on the dance floor all night long scream singing and dancing their hearts out to music of all genres. The vocalists even came onto the dance floor to sing with the guests. Matt was a fabulous emcee and Kyle was so easy to work with in terms of logistics and planning. Plus, the band plays locally a lot so we were able to see them before we booked to confirm they were as awesome as all the reviews said and leading up to the wedding to get us excited. And now we'll be able to see them again and again to reminisce about our amazing day!

My husband and I take live music very seriously, and we knew our wedding band was one of the most important vendors to pick. Two years prior to our wedding, we went to see the Suyat band live about 5 times. Each and every performance that we went to confirmed our choice that they were the band for us! They were extremely professional and helped plan our night beautifully. After our wedding, guests went on to RAVE about how amazing this band was. The dance floor was packed all night! We will continue to go to the Suyat Band shows to relive our wedding night over and over again!

Where do I even begin? Booking The Suyat Band was one of the BEST decisions my husband and I made for our wedding!! From beginning consultations to the last song of our wedding night, we felt completely taken care of. Kyle was our main contact, he was super communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process.
We used the piano during our ceremony, saxophone and acoustic guitar for cocktail hour and full 9-piece set for our reception. He listened to our vision we had of punk rock songs and curated the most epic playlist for our reception. The amount of compliments we’ve received from our guests is endless. Our dance floor was full the entire night, both young and old, belting out songs til we had nothing left. We had everyone singing songs from Shout to The Girl at the Rock Show.
Kyle, Matteo and the entire band made us feel like family. Matt kept us informed and checked in with us the entire evening. They played all the songs we asked and learned new ones, even when we changed our minds about our first dance song a few days before! We left our wedding with sore dancing feet and no voices left, proving they get a party going and there’s no stopping until the very last minute.
We cannot recommend them enough for anyone looking to have the most incredible time for their wedding, or any event for that matter. Book them ASAP!

Where do we even begin?! First and foremost, if you’re considering a band for your wedding…do it. Like yesterday. And hire these guys immediately. It will be the best decision you will make in your wedding planning, aside from choosing your partner.
From the first night we met Kyle and Matt at one of their shows, we instantly felt like nothing other than our upcoming wedding mattered to them…and we hadn’t even booked them yet. After that night and hearing their set list, we knew that our guests would enjoy the mix of genres they played and how seamlessly they transitioned from one genre to the next. What transpired after that first night is something you always hope for in dealing with vendors, although it’s never a guarantee.
Kyle made us feel like family. He let us ask 1 million questions every time we talked and offered his personal guidance every step of the way. He was responsive and professional, yet made us feel like we were talking to a friend every time we chatted. We felt well prepared going into our wedding.
What happened the afternoon and night of our wedding though, was more than we could have ever dreamed of. Matt orchestrated our ceremony music with ease, even making a rendition of “First Date” by Blink 182 happen for my processional. It was amazing! The cocktail hour consisted of a guitar and saxophone duo which our guests couldn’t get enough of! Imagine your favorite pop song played on a saxophone and Kyle made it happen. Once the reception began, Matt led the band in a first dance set before dinner that made every one of our 120 guests rush the dance floor. Aside from a pause for our guests to eat, those 120 guests truly never ever left the dance floor. Kyle, Matt and their team played song after song, favorite after favorite, causing even our quietest of guests who we never imagined would dance, jump up and down with the crowd as they also sang every lyric at the top of their lungs. My husband and I didn’t think it could get any better..until it did. We are huge 90s music fans, and in particular, slight Blink 182 groupies (well the bride at least). Matt and Kyle started off with a 90s set that was incredible, even inviting my husband and I onto the stage to sing “All the Small Things” to an overcrowded dance floor of family and friends. It was a rockstar moment…one we’ll truly never forget. And while that may seem small or silly, to us, it meant that Kyle and Matt would have done just about anything to make us smile and our night memorable. They’re the professional musicians and they let us have the spotlight!
Our wedding was two weeks ago and our family, friends and guests are still sending us videos of the band and the dance floor, sharing their stories and talking about the band. Everyone has asked us “what was that bands name again?!” And we have proudly shared, The Suyat Band. BOOK THEM. A 100% guarantee that they will be the highlight of your wedding and be the most fun to work with every step of the way.

Wonderful band and AMAZING service. The Suyat Band made our wedding a winner.
From day 1, Kyle treated us like family—helping us understand the different packages and what would be a good fit for our wedding of almost 400 guests. Responses were prompt and thorough, and his demeanor was a Bride’s dream. I could feel confident knowing that Kyle and Matt had everything under control.
They were, of course, also VERY flexible…in the few weeks leading up to the wedding, I must have texted Kyle with a dozen or more changes (to the timeline, our first dance, the number of guests, adding on an after party, etc). Each time, I was met with warmth and understanding, and each time they made it happen.
My guests had a BLAST—and so did we. The Suyat Band was worth every penny. Can’t recommend them enough!!!!

We hired The Suyat Band for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding reception. From start to finish they were phenomenal. They handled all communication and planning professionally and made the entire process so fun and exciting for us! Every single wedding guest was out on the dance floor the entire night long. They played an amazing variety of songs, and listened to all of our requests. I would recommend them 10/10 times for anyone hosting an event. Thank you so much Kyle, Matt, and the rest of the band!! They made our wedding day so incredible, and we could not be more thankful.

Extremely helpful and communicative, they were with us every step of the way! They took the time to work with us and find the best fit for our wedding, and we are so thankful. Matt and Kyle even learned our first dance song choices and performed them live for us, which was unbelievably special. They played an awesome mix of music that had people up on their feet all night! People are still coming to us saying how amazing they sounded. We could not have asked for a better duo to be there for us on our big day. Thank you again guys! You rock 💗

We booked the Suyat Band through LPE for our 9/3/22 wedding and WOW! I am still hearing from guests who are raving about our music. They were incredible from start to finish! The music was the perfect mix and everyone had a great time dancing the night away. They were so professional and so talented. The band learned and played all the songs we specially requested. They also helped facilitate a private last dance which was incredibly special & memorable. Please do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding because you will NOT be disappointed. These guys are the real deal! We’ll forever be grateful for the memories made around the dance floor.

To say The Suyat Band was awesome would be an understatement. They honored all of our music requests, and kept our reception fun the whole night! Our wedding and reception were outside on a hot day in June, but that didn’t take an ounce away from the energy they brought to our wedding. They broke down to a duo for our cocktail hour and transitioned quickly to the 5 piece group for our reception. Kyle and Matt were so easy to talk to and work with, and knew exactly how to make our night fun, memorable, and about us and our guests. Being able to have the songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, and mother/son dance played live made our night. Their set lists struck our interests and our guests interests perfectly, and they easily bridged genres and styles the whole night. All of our guests raved about the band, from our younger guests all the way up to our grandparents. We LOVE this band and try to see them as often as we can. If you’re considering live music or a DJ, go with live music and keep The Suyat Band at the top of your list! Kyle, Matt, and the band, thank you so much for making our reception amazing!

I don't think words can truly describe how just incredible the The Suyant Band is!!! I first encountered them about 6 years ago as the duo was playing at a local bar. I really enjoyed their vibe and fun music choices, but didn't think more into it. I then saw them a few months later as the full band at another local bar. I immediately recognized them and was excited to see them perform. They certainly did not disappoint and I was instantly hooked. So much so that I decided right then and there that I would want them to play my wedding one day.
Fast forward 6 years later and we had the full band play at our wedding! The duo played during cocktail hour and the full band swept everyone off their feet and had our guests dancing all night at our reception. Months later, guests are still telling me how incredible the band was and how much fun they had. The Suyat Band has the ability to read the room and deliver their music in a fun, talented way that will get the party started. Even people who don't typically dance couldn't resist. Not only are they super talented, they are genuinely good humans who are incredible to work with. They're professional, kind, and easy to communicate with. They care about their clients and make you feel valued. We just adore them and we are so lucky to have had them for our special day. If you're considering booking them, do it!!! You will NOT be disappointed. :)

We hired the 9-piece Suyat Band for our wedding (05.15.22), and our guests could not stop raving about their set! My husband and I definitely wanted something cooler than your run-of-the-mill wedding band, and the Suyat Band definitely delivers. Not only is the band really talented, but working with Kyle leading up to the wedding was a dream. Kyle was so friendly, informative, and professional, and his transparency really helped with our wedding planning. My only piece of advice is, on the day of your event, keep your comms streamlined to Kyle or the bandleader, Matt. If you have any day-of questions or concerns, they will help--just wait for a pause in their set so you can speak with them directly. The best part? This band takes requests, and they played every special song we requested (just give them a month's notice!) Plus, their jazz duo for our cocktail hour was top-notch--definitely recommend choosing the sax/guitar duo if that's your vibe. And if you want to hire a second singer, ask for Destiny! Her voice is amazing. Love this band.

I’m so glad we chose to work with the Suyat Duo for our wedding. We had a lunchtime wedding at a beautiful restaurant (indoor/outdoor in the city) and Matt and Kyle helped set the vibe of our event with their acoustics (guitar/vocals/ukulele). Without them the event may have felt totally different, but they helped it feel elegant. We got countless raving reviews from our family and friends about the band. On top of being great at their craft, Matt and Kyle were also extremely kind. Matt also MC’d our event and he made sure that everything went accordingly..he even reminded me of some of items on my timeline that I forgot about. The only thing I did not appreciate was the agent, Louis, came off a bit condescending with his responses and he failed to disclose that the band would be doing almost half/half singing/recorded music. On our first call he made it sound like “anything is possible”, as in songs that I can request and such, but he definitely dialed it back during our emails. As someone who is planning their first wedding with no planning experience, I would expect his responses to be a little bit more patient in his responses. If you can, try to book them directly.

We hired the Suyat Band for our wedding, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The band really worked with us on songs we wanted to have played and Kyle helped me prep my timeline for them. They were professional, organized and down to earth to work with. They really picked up the vibe we wanted and the vibe of our guests to keep them on the dance floor. Matt played the ukulele beautifully at our ceremony. Cocktail hour and reception, I had a ton of my guests tell us that they “love the band”.

Run, don't walk, to book The Suyat Band. They are absolutely PHENOMENAL! We booked them for our wedding (8.28.21) and couldn't have asked for a better band. From the time we booked, through our wedding day, Kyle was extremely responsive, helping us with our song choices and the timeline for songs. We had the piano for our ceremony and the jazz duo for cocktail hour before bringing all 8 members in for the reception. Even before the reception we had people coming up to tell us how amazing they were. They had everyone dancing all night long and they learned every song we requested (better than the originals!). If you are looking for a band you can't ask for a better group than The Suyat Band.

We had Kyle and Matt as an acoustic duet for our backyard wedding “COVID-19” style! We hired them last minute and they worked so hard and well with us to meet all of our needs!!! They were beyond phenomenal! They provided us with the perfect vibe for our wedding.... with nothing but amazing music, fun and so many surprises. Matt has the most beautiful voice and Kyle crushed it on both the guitar and sax! The guest have not stopped raving about them! Love this band so much!!! They rock!!!

My husband and I are in a wedding band ourselves so choosing a band for our special day was fairly agonizing! We ended up choosing The Suyat Band after seeing them perform live at a bar show and being totally impressed with their musicianship and "lack of cheesiness" if you know what I mean. They are extremely professional, talented, fun and all such nice people! They are also extremely affordable and are on par with bands that charge over twice as much as they do. They're New Jersey's best kept secret!
They made our wedding magical from start to finish! We had their pianist Dane play during our ceremony - he played every song we chose and was excellent! Their jazz duo of piano and sax played cocktail hour and were phenomenal. For the reception we hired the 8-piece version of the band which includes their female singer. Unfortunately she was sick the day of our wedding, but the singer who replaced her was excellent and no one knew the difference! Our guests were not all "dancing people" - but the band managed to have the dance floor hopping all night! Their song choice is great, covering a variety of genres and they learned so many songs for us including our first dance, mother/son and father/daughter. They absolutely killed the tunes and it made the night so special and unique! Their frontman and emcee Matt is a PHENOMENAL singer and such a magnetic personality! He flawlessly pulled off our introductions and even the special Polish blessing we did at the beginning of the reception.
If you are looking for an affordable band with high energy and excellent musicians, look no further. A lot of the cookie cutter weddings bands out there are extremely over priced, under talented and honestly seem bored to be performing. It makes a big difference to have a band whose members remain the same and play together all the time, and clearly enjoy what they do so much. Hire the Suyat Band immediately, they will bring so much joy to your big day and you won't have to worry about a thing! They honored every request we had for song choices and they even let us sing a few tunes with them! We are so thankful we found them and heard nothing but compliments about them all night. We have a lot of musician friends that attended the wedding and they were all impressed! One of my friends was so impressed that she ended up hiring them for her own wedding this coming fall! It doesn't get any better than that!

We met the Suyat Duo at a local area bar the day we got engaged. We loved them and it was a sweet surprise to learn they had an entire band AND they did weddings. We went and checked them out and knew they were going to make our day even more magical. They exceeded expectations. The cocktail hour was amazing, the dance floor was crazy all night, and everything was so smooth. They went above and beyond to learn some of our favorite songs and I actually think their versions were better than the originals. Dozens of people have reached out to me again and again to say what an amazing band we had at the wedding. If you're looking for a group of talented, accommodating, energetic, professional guys and for your wedding to be a non-stop dance party... check them out!

The Suyat Band was absolutley amazing, as they always are. Prior to our wedding, my husband and I already loved this band, but words cannot even express the gratitude we have for the show they put on at our wedding. Atmosphere at a wedding is EVERYTHING! The entertainment you hire sets the mood and keeps the party happy and upbeat. The Suyat Band had everyone talking about them, from our ceremony to our reception, and friends and family are still raving about our "awesome band".
Additionally, every correspondence while planning the details with Kyle was prompt and professional. He was so easy to work with and answered all questions, and the band accommodated a unique first dance we wanted to have with perfect execution.
I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for a band for your wedding or event, use Suyat! You will be so happy you did.

Matt and Kyle made our wedding day special. They performed before our ceremony as guest arrived, during cocktail hour and they even played for us while we danced with each of our parents. We received so many complement from our guests on how much they enjoyed the entertainment. Matt and Kyle are amazing!!

My husband and I first heard The Suyat Band play at House of Que in Hoboken. We had such a great time listening to them that we knew we had to hire them for our wedding. They played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were amazing! They are incredibly talented and they did an excellent job transitioning from calm music at the ceremony to upbeat music at the cocktail hour. They even learned a song for us when we made a last minute special request. They came fully prepared with their own equipment and they were a huge hit with our guests. They are very professional and have a great sound. We highly recommend working with them!
