Weddings by PH Event Group - Party Harty Entertainment

Evan was wonderful to work with, very responsive by email or phone!! It is a MUST to book a percussionist and co2 gun. The percussion was so fun my guests loved it they even got to drum on them and play with some instruments . The co2 gun was so fun shooting it into the crowd. We Had a great time

As a corporate and nonprofit large-scale event planner, I have hired PH Event Group for client events for over a decade but they are also my personal choice for family celebrations. When it came time for my daughter's wedding, there was no other option. Evan brought in world-class musicians to accompany him in the DJ booth and all the guests thought it was a live band! He carefully curates the play list with the bride and groom then tailor's the sounds to the crowd and the vibe of the party. We also used their photo booth and video services. Everything was flawless from start to finish. Every guest was raving that this was the best and most fun wedding they'd been to. It's all Evan and his team. Highly recommend for a perfect day.

Evan, and his musicians were unbelievable!!! Our guests never stopped dancing!! The kids slow dance was perfect, along with their entrance and both parent dances. Evan timed the party perfectly. And their videographer captured every single special moment so that we can relive this night over and over. Thank you party harty from the bottom of our hearts.

What can we say. Evan and his crew are absolutely ELITE. Made our wedding day and night absolutely amazing and perfect. Evan pays close attention to detail and puts on an amazing show. My guests keep talking about our wedding and how amazing the DJ/MC and crew were the entire night. Evan brought his trombone out and absolutely killed it. I literally could go on and on about Evan and his crew but I will leave it at this. If you don’t hire Party Harty and reserve Evan for your event you will be sorry. The best company I have ever seen host a spectacular wedding for my wife and I! Evan provided us with zap shots and a Photo Booth so we can always remember the night and our guests absolutely loved it! 20/10 recommend using Evan and Party Harty, they made our wedding a real PARTY! Evan even utilized his interactive huge screen that presented us with live zap shots, music videos, and our names in huge writing the entire night! I literally have so much to say about these guys and they forever have the Negrin family as clients! My brothers wedding is next and he already wants to have Evan and Party Harty hosting his event! I told him….. gotta go with the best and clearly Evan is the BEST!

I truly have no words for the performance that Evan gave us at my wedding. He listened to every single thing we asked, every song we asked, the vision we wanted, and executed. From beginning to end, it was a PLEASURE working with Evan. Responsive, organized, he made our entire experience so easy. Actually. the entire day was a bit of a mess due to a Maitre'd problem with our venue, the SECOND we got to the Reception and Evan took over, it was a breath of fresh air. He controlled the entire night, told us what to do when to do it, and I would recommend Evan for your wedding 1000000x over. Pure perfection. Thank you, Evan, for everything from beginning to end!! Until next time <3

We had a great experience working with Evan and the team from Party Harty. They gave us so many options from the start to make our wedding special, and ultimately we decided on a DJ, violinist, and photobooth. The violinist played the ceremony with the DJ pumping in background music was just what we wanted, and the ceremony felt special because of it. DJ Ricky was absolutely great throughout the night. We met with him beforehand, and he was extremely nice and reassuring, and he listened to all our requests! He made sure everyone kept dancing throughout the night, mixed the music how we had requested, and made it as fun a night as it was. The photobooth was also awesome, people kept lining up for more and more fun photos throughout the night. The scrapbook for the photobooth was an extra special touch that allowed people to leave us messages, and we really appreciated the personal aspect of this. Overall, we had a great experience working with everyone from party harty, and would highly recommend them going forward.

From the very start of wedding planning, our daughter told us she wanted a DJ and not a band. I, personally, was not happy about this but, of course, I went along with her wishes. Party Harty has an impeccable reputation for being the best in the business and there was only one DJ who could create the wedding experience we were looking for - Evan Brandwein! From our very first meeting, Evan’s intense passion for music was abundantly clear! He is just in love with music and bringing music to people’s parties to create wonderful experiences for the guests is his greatest joy. Evan took our wedding seriously from our first meeting and he planned every detail as though the wedding was his own. Evan’s personality was upbeat and approachable to say the very least. His enthusiasm and excitement about our wedding was so catching that we often left our meetings even more excited than when we came in. We were comfortable asking questions or requesting songs – he was open to everything! We were thoroughly amazed at the level of knowledge he had about every current trend happening in the music business. He knew every song and artist from the past to the most current and in every genre of music. He also knew what was appropriate and not appropriate for the type of affair we were having. By the time we had our final meeting, he had done so much preparation that we had complete confidence that our wedding was going to be perfect. Evan has the perfect combination of being kind, fun and highly professional. He can read a crowd like no one else. During the wedding, it was clear that he had impeccable timing and spontaneously changed songs to keep people dancing. One example is when we had an unexpected delay in the start of our ceremony. Evan had to quickly adjust the music he had planned and change the timing of the set so he could be ready with the exact music he had planned exactly when the procession would finally start. Of course no one noticed a thing because Evan was in charge of it all. The equipment he uses is the best there is. Our favorite thing was the fans (that he built himself) that stood in front of the stage and blew cold air onto the people dancing on the dance floor! It was literally so cool! He also recommended the rotating sign of the couple’s names on the dance floor. I wasn’t really sold on the idea at first but when I actually saw it in motion with everyone dancing, I knew it was the perfect addition to the party. Another suggestion he made was the photo booth which, with its latest technology, was a big hit with our guests! Our wedding was as successful and fun as it was mainly because of Evan and his Party Harty team. Everyone was dancing and upbeat and the simple additions he suggested made the wedding that much more special and unique. We are indebted to Party Harty and Evan and look forward to hiring them again in the future! Ronnie Diller

Party Harty did an awesome job at our wedding celebration! The lounge furniture and dance floor they provided was spectacular. The DJ Evan was amazing. Many of our guests, some in the music industry, said he was the best DJ they have ever seen. He had command of the party and had everyone dancing, much more than expected. We are also very happy with the zap photos and roaming ring photographers! We have great pictures and memories to last a lifetime. Howie and Evan were easy and professional communicating with us and responding quickly to all our needs. We highly recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat. The absolute best!!!

Evan was amazing! He was so easy to work with and really helped guide us through everything. We spoke to him on the phone countless times before the wedding and he was able to get a feel for what we wanted and executed everything beyond what we could have expected. We highly recommend Party Harty and especially Evan for your Wedding!

My wife and I had the best wedding day we could ask for and Party Harty made the reception! The owner and our emcee, Evan, was a pleasure to work with. From the beginning, he was very helpful and he laid out all the options we had as far as what fit the venue. In the weeks leading up to the big day, we had a final meeting with Evan to square away the final details and went through all the songs we wanted to make sure were played. Our wedding was at the Watermill and Party Harty's setup was great for the room. During the cocktail hour we had a saxophonist playing, which was great for the ambiance. Just before the cocktail hour ended, Evan did a quick rundown in the reception room which made us more comfortable. Once the reception started, Evan was super energetic as the emcee. The combination of Evan and the musicians were great in keeping people on the dance floor all night, which we really wanted. For our first dance, my wife and I wanted to combine two songs which Evan was able to blend with a seamless transition. That was such a special moment for us. And the timing with which the songs we wanted to hear were played always seemed to be perfect. We'll always think of our wedding when we hear "Come Sail Away," because it was such a great moment for us. We can't thank Evan and his crew enough for the job they did. You can't have a great wedding without great music and Party Harty made sure we got that. We could not recommend them enough.

Party Harty crew made my wedding the most amazing day for me, my husband and our guests. Evan was phenomenal to work with, he is kind and wants to make your special day memorable. I was so worried about the music part of my wedding, from picking all my ceremony songs (we got married on the beach) to the dance music, but Evan answered all my questions (and there were a lot), he gave great suggestions and talked me through everything a few times and assured me my day would be perfect, and it was beyond perfect! Mike was our MC , he has a great personality, so personable, kept the party going he was beyond exceptional. A few weeks before my wedding I was still having a hard time figuring out a photo wall that would complement my boho beach vibe wedding, Evan to the rescue. He created a custom back drop that was absolutely perfect! His crew hung my neon sign and it pulled everything together. When I walked into my reception for the first time and saw it, I was speechless. My guest had the best time taking pictures against it and the full-size pictures with frames came out perfect, my guests were so happy and are still talking about it! Looking back at my pictures seeing all my guest, myself and my husband smiling and dancing having the best time brings happy tears to my eyes and I am forever thankful and grateful for Party Harty, Evan & Mike and their whole crew making our wedding day so memorable and perfect. I already hinted to my husband that I would like a surprise (lol) birthday party in 2024 and Party Harty to be there.

Party Harty in deed!!!! We booked Evan as our dj/mc combo and what a party he delivered at our wedding at the mansion at oyster bay! We knew from first consultation Evan was the guy for us! He was honest, relatable, professional and hilarious! I loved the fact that we were able to physically meet our dj instead of being farmed out by a sales dept which allowed us to build a relationship leading up to the wedding! He really took in everything we wanted / requested and followed through with it at our wedding (even things I forgot I asked for!) his dj set up looked perfect in the beautiful mansion ballroom and the sound was amazing. My husband & I along with almost all of our guests literally didn’t leave the dance floor that’s how much of a rocking time he gave us! Can’t say enough good things about Evan and his whole team.

I just got married Saturday 11.26.22 at The Piermont in Babylon. Party Harty wasn’t on the recommended vendor list, but they should be!!! Not only are they a DJ company but they have photo booths, musicians, photography etc. Evan (DJ/MC) was highly recommended to me by a family friend and now I know why. When I spoke to Evan on the phone before even getting to meet him in person I knew he needed to be my DJ. Evan kept in touch with me throughout the whole wedding planning just to even check in on how I was doing. Fast forward to the day of my wedding, I told Evan the only thing I wanted was to make sure everyone was having fun and dancing, and that’s exactly what happened the entire night, except when people were taking pictures at the Photo Booth because who doesn’t love a good Photo Booth!! The morning after I was getting calls and text messages about how fun the wedding was and how great the music was. I can’t thank Evan enough for making our night so fun and special. Evan, Richie, Alex and Anthony.. you guys are the best and I’m so thankful you were apart of our special night. You guys will be my first call for any future parties we will be having!

We are SO glad we chose Party Harty entertainment for our wedding! We got married on Fire Island (at the First Island Beach House in Ocean Bay Park) so it was important to us that the vendors we hired were able to execute our vision at our unique venue. They went above and beyond our expectations. DJ Evan and his team were able to transport and install our dance floor perfectly as well as set up for the event flawlessly. I had absolute confidence in them on our wedding day- this was so important because it eliminated a major stress from our day. Evan listened to exactly what we wanted for the day and made sure everyone was having fun at all times! From the ceremony to the reception, his song selections and energy kept the party going. He played such in important role in making sure the timeline of the day went smoothly as well. He even created a video of our wedding day for us- which was totally unexpected, but so appreciated! Colleen and Wendi were the absolute best photography team. Our day had a tight timeline for photos, and we were still were able to get every shot we wanted, and more! Their confidence, kindness, and professionalism kept everyone at ease throughout the day. We were even able to sneak out for some sunset shots mid-reception and had such a great time with them! We were sent highlights of photos just days after our wedding, which again was so unexpected but very appreciated! We cannot recommend this event group enough. They were not only extremely professional, but also brought such good energy to our day. I would entrust them with any event and HIGHLY recommend using them for yours!

Our wedding was a few weeks ago and we still have friends and family talking about Evan and what he brought to our night. What they didn’t see was that Party Harty met with us several times leading up to the wedding to ensure that everything was covered from the ceremony to the last song. The playlist was perfect. Evan brought the best energy and made sure the night went exactly as we wanted… Which included everyone dancing as much as possible. My wife and I had to write this recommendation because we’ve lived a Party Harty wedding. We’ve done the meetings and shopping around. If anyone out there is debating their entertainment needs for their wedding, meet with Party Harty and you’ll know it’s the team for you you. A special shout-out to Josh Blum for all the behind the scenes stuff that our guests never saw. Trust me, they care and they rock. We can’t thank them enough, but we’ll try! Thank you Evan and thank you Party Harty!

Evan killed it!!!! He took the playlist we put together and made it even better! The dance floor was packed the entire night. We received so many compliments on all of the music and the set pieces. The sax player got everyone engaged on the dance floor and was so much fun! Would definitely recommend.

Evan was literally the best DJ in the world. We had multiple people come up to us well after our wedding saying that we found the best DJ on Long Island, and they were completely serious. We were even at ANOTHER wedding a few weeks later, and people kept coming to us saying "yea this wedding is nice, but the DJ at yours was just the BEST" ... like, people don't usually go out of their way to make those kind of compliments weeks and months after your wedding!! He played hit after hit after hit, and the dance floor was FILLED the entire night. He played almost all the songs we requested (we requested A LOT), and his energy just blew the roof off. In addition to the incredible music, he had two KEY factors that differentiated him from every other DJ we've seen. 1) The fan DJ booth. For our large, packed dance floor, this was a life saver, not to mention "cool". He's the only one in the business with anything like it. 2) His speakers. They pump the music without blowing out anyone's ear drums, and it's truly a game changer. We've been to several weddings since on Long Island, and no one else even compares. It was the best day of our lives, in HUGE part due to Evan and PH Entertainment. I couldn't possibly urge you to use Evan more, and he gets an astounding 5 stars and more! Thanks for the best time ever, Evan!

We had Evan as our DJ and Ricky as our MC at our wedding and WOW! Words can’t describe how amazing they made our night. We worked with Evan leading up to the event, he made everything so easy and fun. Not one part of me was stressed regarding the music at any point. They got the crowd going, picked the best songs and listened to any of our requests we wanted. Our reception truly wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was if it wasn’t for Evan and Ricky. They even put together a video clip to send us after the fact that was so great!! We had a sax player during cocktail hour and then during the reception that just added more fun to the party! The cold sparklers added so much spice to our entrance and made for some incredible photos! I highly highly recommend Party Harty for any party you might be having. People are still calling us and raving about them!!

Words cannot express how incredible Evan from Party Harty is. Music is so important to my family so I was a bit nervous about finding the right DJ for our wedding day. One night we went to an event at our venue (The Crescent Beach Club) and Evan was the DJ for the event. We were so impressed by Evan we booked him right away and knew we were in the BEST hands. Evan was there for us from the very beginning to make sure we were happy. He even made time to meet with us a few days before our wedding (which was also during the busiest time of the year for him) to discuss everything for the wedding day and made us feel so at ease. He lifted a ton of weight off of our shoulders knowing everything was taken care of by the best. Needless to say, he did an incredible job and made our day so very special. We also booked a drummer to play along with Evan and it was the best decision. Our guests had a blast and that's exactly what we wanted. They are still raving about the music and how much fun they had. We HIGHLY recommend Evan and Party Harty for your wedding or any event! Book them now! You will not regret it!!

The entire party was dancing the whole night. The MC Mike was the perfect amount of involved & kept the party going. The must play list I gave them they followed so well. I gave the song we wanted to dance out to down to the second & they followed it. Same with our ceremony. Every request was met. My favorite decision was the zap shots. I was so hestitant because I’m personally not a fan on the TV screens but Evan let me know I’d get about 500 photos just a few days later. He allowed me to do the zap shots without the Tvs. Just a few days later I had a link with 600 photos to look through which were all of the dance floor. He got so many shots of guests that weren’t in the bridal party which I am so grateful to have. They were so great that my guests thought those were from my photography company. The last minute (the day before)my mom surprised me with the sparklers. If ur considering it, do it!!!! I have nothing but amazing things to say!!!!

BEST WEDDING DJ EVER!! My guests barely stopped dancing for dinner and cake. Since the wedding I've had multiple guests ask for their contact info for future parties. We had quite a few non-traditional requests for the flow/events of the ceremony, and everything went off without a hitch. Can't recommend these guys enough - true professionals that can keep the party going (until 1am in my case!!).

I cannot say enough great things about Party Hardy! Evan did an incredible job as DJ-the dance floor was packed the entire night. His energy led to everybody having an amazing time! Our wedding was perfect and a big part of it was Party Hardy!

Party Harty did our wedding at Opus Steakhouse and knocked it out of the park. They were punctual, professional, and pretty much made the whole thing happen: Video/Photography/DJ/And Sax Player were incredible. Dominick made us super comfortable and got our pictures done perfectly. Bo the video guy worked together with Dom and our whole family loved them. Evan was a great MC and party maker and walked us through everything!! He orchestrated the entire flow of the whole day! We highly recommend PH Entertainment for any event!!

Evan and his team did a FANTASTIC job with my wedding at the Crescent Beach Club! From the beginning, he had great recommendations for songs to use for certain events, such as the cake cutting and entrance for the wedding party. On the day of my wedding, he managed to get an amazing sunset picture to display on the screen for the entire evening. His set up was fantastic too, with the lights and tv screens with music videos. The saxophone player at the reception (who was also the flute player during the ceremony and cocktail hour) was also a huge hit - he is super talented and knew how to get guests energized! By the end of the night, Evan had met all my requests discussed in conversation before the wedding, and my guests raved about his ability to keep the party going with all the right music. Everyone there was constantly dancing and smiling!

Evan from Party Harty was incredible from the start of our wedding planning. After meeting with him we knew he was the right fit for us. Incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. We told him we wanted it to be a nonstop party, and he went above and beyond that. There wasn’t a time guests weren’t dancing, which was the most important aspect to us. Our guests absolutely loved him and his energy, not to mention his gorgeous set up. We added the fans, as well as a roaming ring camera for the entire night and steel drum player for cocktail hour. Everything was phenomenal. Our guests LOVED the ring camera, several said they wish they had it at their own wedding! The steel drum added a tropical feel to our beach wedding, and really tied it all together. My husband loved it so much, he couldn’t get over how amazing the addition was to the cocktail hour. We got so many compliments on our DJ. We could not have asked for a better party and it’s all thanks to Party Harty.

My son's wedding @ Crest Hollow this past weekend was phenomenal, and Party Harty absolutely rocked!! The energy on the dance floor was overwhelming and everyone had a blast. They even played a little Grateful Dead for us parents, and we certainly appreciated it. Thank you for making the bride and groom's dream wedding a reality! You ROCK Evan!!!

We hired party harty two years out from our wedding to ensure that they would be available for our wedding. We wanted Ricky as our DJ and he did not disappoint! He was able to feel the vibe of the room and played songs to match everyone’s energy. He absolutely killed it! People were dancing all night! It’s been a week and I’m still getting compliments about the DJ and how amazing he was. A BIG THANK YOU TO RICKY! We so appreciate you making our day a memorable one! In addition to Ricky, the party harty team was easy to work and was always available if needed! I would recommend a million times over!

So happy that we used Party Harty for our wedding! Mike, Anthony and the DJ were incredible! Our family and friends were so impressed by them - and really created the atmosphere we were going for. The ceremony music was gorgeous - exactly what we were looking for. Everybody absolutely loved when Mike and Anthony came on to the dance floor with the trumpet and sax. Evan was a pleasure dealing with and helped us throughout the whole process. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration and the music makes the party.

Party Harty made our wedding at Fox Hollow come together. There was something for everyone and the dance floor was full literally the entire night. Mike, our MC, really kept the crowd engaged. The DJ listened to our requests and concerns and read the crowd to create a great vibe all night. The sax and drums were a great touch and complimented by all. We could not recommend this vendor more for any wedding!

My husband and I got married at The Engineers Country Club in April and we had the best night and weekend of our lives! Throughout the wedding planning process, Evan and his team were responsive, professional, and accessible. I asked that they kept everyone dancing and they delivered! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and we were blown away! We worked with Evan and created a "play" and "do not play" list and they followed through on those lists. Not to mention, Evan was an absolutely phenomenal DJ and MC. We also hired other musicians through Party Harty including a guitar player that played for cocktail hour and a drummer and stage for the reception! I highly recommend having the stage and drummer; it gave it a live music feel!

My husband & I got married at the Sands AB on April 9, and we had the best night of our lives. We cannot thank DJ Evan enough! From start to finish, we had a great experience working with Evan. He is very professional, and knows exactly what it takes to make a party spectacular. Evan addressed all of my concerns and requests, and made me feel confident and at ease. The music was absolutely amazing; we danced the night away! Evan even took song requests from our guests! We had quite a mix of guests - Southerners, NYers, and Europeans… Evan played a great mix of music to please our crowd! All of the guests said that it was the best party that they’ve ever been to - I highly recommend Party Harty!

I planned my wedding in one month and was so lucky that Party Harty was available on such short notice. Evan was very professional and on top of everything to make sure everything was perfect. Ricky was our MC and we were so happy he and the dj kept everyone dancing and having such a great time on the dance floor. Great selection of music- everyone had such an amazing time. Also, we had a monogram light on the floor, which was beautiful and looks great in pictures. We really enjoyed working with them and didn’t have to worry about anything! Everyone was very nice and professional!! I’m highly satisfied and would definitely work with them again! I highly recommend!!

Evan and his team were fantastic! He managed to fit in all of our crazy requests at the perfect times. Definitely recommend the roaming ring light and photo booth as we got some of the most amazing candid photos from them as well. Had many guests ask about the DJ to use for their future events. 10/10 recommend

We will be booking Evan and his team for ANY and ALL future events. He and his staff were professional, engaging, and overall made our wedding the best day of our lives. He and his ZAP photography team captured candid moments on the dancefloor all night long as well as played music that all generations (our 90 year old grandparents!) danced to. I could not be happier with their service and would encourage any couple looking for a DJ to book them immediately!

Slightly delayed on the review......Evan and the whole Party Harty team did an amazing job at our September wedding! My husband and I both used Party Harty for our bar/bat mitzvahs so when the time came to get married we both knew exactly who to go to. Our wedding was rescheduled from September 2020 due to Covid and Evan was understanding, gave us no issues and was amazing to work with. When the time finally came to party, to say he delivered is an understatement! We and our guests were on the dance floor the whole night and had an amazing time. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything!

On-time, polite and high-quality photos for our guests! PH Events does it all and they do it correctly! I have been using this company for our family events for well over 20 years and they never disappoint!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Evan is! I was blown away by my wedding day! I asked that they kept everyone dancing & that they didn't play certain things & did they deliver! They played the music we requested & everyone had a great time. The amount of people that complimented us on our music was amazing. One of my family members were impressed with the amount of people that were out on the dance floor till the very end of the night! It was more then I could ask for. I was also really impressed with the photo booth & the live picture taking! We had so many pictures to look at a few days after the wedding! I am so happy to have them on top of what we will be getting from out photographer! I highly recommend hiring Evan & his team for your next event!

We worked with Evan when we hired Party Harty for our September 12, 2021 wedding and our whole experience with them was exceptional. Great customer service, responsiveness, and accommodating. We also loved Evan's energy and the fact that he listened to our wants and needs before and during our wedding. Not to mention, Evan was an absolute phenomenal DJ and MC. We also hired other musicians through Party Harty including a guitar player (Mike) that played for our ceremony who was amazing; Steel Band that gave us our Caribbean feel during cocktail hour; and John Ward who played drums while Evan DJ'd our reception. John was high energy and very interactive with our guests. All of our guests loved him. You can not go wrong with hiring Party Harty for your next event.

Our wedding was absolutely amazing. Evan and his staff from Party Harty where simply the best. From the initial meeting with Evan we knew he was our guy. He was so excited about our wedding and all the music we liked . Every idea we brought to him he listened and brought more to the party. We were looking for the Dj and live music combo and he certainly delivered. Our guests were dancing all night the dance floor was only empty during dinner, and if would have played during dinner no one would have eaten. We would hire him all over again. Our family and friends couldn't stop talking about the music and the dancing afterwards. Go talk to him you won't need to look any further, Keith Mazzei

Evan and his crew went above and beyond they where on time very helpful from start to finish. Evan is very detailed he makes his own stuff to make sure the party is how you want it I 100% recommend his company we used their photographer and Videographer as well.

There are not enough wonderful things to say about this company. Howie was so helpful, coordinated and organized all of our entertainment for the night. And it as PERFECT. We had a guitarist at the cocktail hour, whom was awesome, the guest were very happy with him. We had DJ Ricky Plotkin for the ceremony and the reception. He was AMAZING. All I keep hearing from everyone whom attended was that "they had the best time" "the music was great" etc. People were dancing the entire night! I very much appreciated Rickys kind and friendly personality. But what I loved most was the little areas he added moments of remembrance of my late Father whom was VERY MISSED that evening. Everyone was so professional, and kind, and they made it the best night ever. I highly recommend working with this company. There are so many things to worry about when planning a wedding and Howie and company made this part of things a complete ease. I would do it all over again in a second. I love these guys!

If you are Party- and need a fantastic DJ- there is only 1 place to go. Party Harty was absolutely fantastic as we hired them to do our Wedding. There are not enough words to express how much we adore Evan. He was the DJ for our wedding but was so much more than just that. From initial booking, to planning- he is the best of the best. He ensured us the best lighting and set up. His personality is so upbeat, friendly, loving and you truly feel that he is part of your wedding day. We also booked Mike as our MC. He was UNREAL as he sang and played acoustic guitar during our cocktail hour at the Crescent Beach Club. The two of them were the BEST pairing ever. We got married during the pandemic and had to cut our list to 50. But let me tell you- Party Harty made our 50 person wedding feel like 500! It was the best PARTY ever to celebrate our love and happily ever after. Our family and friends are still talking about how incredible this team was and how talented they were. We are so looking forward to using Party Harty again in the future. They also captured so many incredible memories throughout the night with their Zap Shots that I got immediately to look back on the best night ever! If you are looking for a company that TRULY does it all. Party Harty is the place to go. We absolutely love them! Thank you again Evan and Mike. You guys are truly SUPERSTARS! Xoxo Love, Valerie and John Haggart

Party Harty was hands down the best part of our wedding! Every detail was perfect and they accommodated all of our music requests, the whole set up looked amazing, from the lights to the platforms to the DJ booth that included fans (great for cooling us down on the dance floor!)and our MC Mike did a fantastic job keeping everyone dancing and the energy up all night. Everyone was out on the dance floor having a blast, including my husband and me! We truly got to enjoy every second. I also recommend the CO2 guns which was such a cool addition to the reception and my husband had a blast with them. Our MC Mike also played guitar during cocktail hour which we got so many compliments about. We also rented a photobooth from them and it was a huge hit, they placed it in the perfect spot and everyone got great use out of it, plus they had a scrapbook of copies of the physical pictures everyone took for my husband and me, as well as a digital link! Evan (the owner) did an awesome job communicating with us throughout a very stressful wedding planning season mid-covid and was so excited and ready to make our day as perfect as possible. Party Harty is so reliable and most importantly a BLAST!! Thank you to the whole team for helping us throw the best wedding ever!! A+++ I 1000% recommend them and plan to use them again for future events :)

My husband and I had the best time at our wedding because of Party Harty! James, the guitarist was the perfect touch for our cocktail hour and Evan, our DJ kept the party going all night. Evan truly listened to our music requests and added in his own twist, which kept our guests dancing all night. We highly recommend Evan and James from Party Harty. Our guests are still talking about how no one left the dance floor and how the music was perfect for all age groups. Thank you James and Evan! Kallen and Brian

We loved working with Evan and Party Harty! We hired Ricky as our DJ/MC and he put on a killer party. Our guests were up and dancing the entire night and we got so many compliments on our wedding music. We also hired a flutist/saxophone player and our guests were so impressed with the additional live music component. I would highly recommend booking with Party Harty-- we had the best night!

OMG! The best part of the wedding was that everyone was on the dance floor all night and we have Party Harty to thank for that! We used Ricky as our DJ and MC and he killed it! I had so many people texting me the next day saying it was the best party they’ve ever been to and I truly have the DJ to thank for that. The company was so easy to work with and had so many add ons like lights and fireworks on the dance floor that really made it special! I can’t say enough good things about them!

Really loved the energy Evan brought to our wedding! Played our requested songs and kept the party going with music. Evan is easy to talk to and is a fun guy! We booked the photo booth with PH and the props that were in the contract were not present due to covid, the scrapbook we were supposed to receive was not provided and the pictures that were supposed to be texted to our guests took nearly a month for them to receive. To remedy the scrapbook situation, it will be mailed to us. Regardless, we really like Evan and his professionalism and we would recommend him to anyone!

I was hesitant to book PH as they're known (in my circle at least) for bar mitzvahs, not weddings. I was afraid the vibe would be off. I was one of the first wedding parties coming out covid and I wanted everyone to have the best time ever. We also did some things that were non-traditional like a big bride & groom entrance over a ceremony (we had a private one in 2020). This all said, PH was awesome. Ricky knew what he was doing and was able to read to the room. He was super on point for our entrance, our choreographed dance, and other specific requests. I emailed back and forth with Evan a ton leading up to the wedding (especially amidst covid) and he worked with us to make everything happen. All of our guests had THE BEST TIME and that's a big part due to PH and their crew. If you're looking for a DJ for a wedding, I highly recommend PH. They'll do everything they can to make your wedding a memorable & fun celebration! Such a pleasure to work with. Quick tip: if you do get a photobooth, I suggest having the DJ remind guests to go over and take pics in it. The photobooth was in the corner of our venue and our friends/grooms' family didn't even see the booth!!!

I knew that Party Harty was going to be our wedding DJ in less than 5 minutes of talking with proprietor, Evan Brandwein. He exudes a energy that makes you feel instantly comfortable and instantly ready for fun!! And, boy does Evan deliver - my feet are still throbbing from all of the dancing. Evan gets to know you a little bit, zeroes in on what makes you tick and then spins it for you. We opted to up our game a bit by adding live music accompaniment as well as video screens and we are so happy that we did!! Our guests LOVED the saxophonist and seeing photos of them dancing and partying on the video screens in real time. Evan and his crew know how to bring the party and you can actually see and feel how much they love what they do - bring complete joy to any celebration. I know I've already said a lot, but I don't think it even scratches the surface of how thankful we are to have found him. THANK YOU, EVAN/PARTY HARTY!!!

First off I need to say that Evan (owner) is the absolute best! When we first got engaged I went shopping around to different DJs and I actually met with three. And then I met Evan. Evan is upbeat, energetic, but willing to go with whatever vibe you want. He seemed to have the most knowledge in terms of music and acoustics than any of the companies I spoke to. In December 2019 we initially planned a “normal wedding” for November 2020 at the Mansion at Oyster Bay and then COVID hit. Once COVID hit we planned to get married this year (2020) and celebrate in 2021. Evan was happy to postpone our date. Then we bought a house, wanted to celebrate this year and decided to cancel our venue wedding and move to a backyard wedding. Evan was ecstatic. He couldn’t wait for our wedding and through the chaos he honestly was the one who got me excited to plan the backyard wedding. The second we moved into our new home, Evan came over and we planned exactly how we could reconfigure our budget to meet our new needs. Evan was going to bring in lights to light up all of the pathways and trees in our very large yard. He was so accommodating and was so flexible with our new plan. Then restrictions became even tighter, and we no longer felt comfortable with moving forward with our backyard wedding. Two weeks out from our wedding we moved to plan C and decided to move our celebration back to our original wedding venue (Mansion at Oyster Bay) to have a 50 person wedding. Again, Evan was so flexible. Every phone call we had, which at this point was almost daily, he would always start by saying, “how are you?”. Yes, I had replanned my wedding multiple times but his business was severely affected by the pandemic, and never once did he put himself first. He was always so concerned about how we were doing and wanted to know what he could do to help. A week and half out we were planning our last final plan and Evan met me last minute at the venue to decide how we wanted to setup for our 50 person micro wedding. For those of you unaware of the restrictions for most of 2020, venues can/could only allow 50 people, masks have to be worn when you aren’t seated and you aren’t allowed to dance. Being a dancer most of my life, this was a tough pill to swallow but Evan offered whatever he could to entertain our guests and make the night feel special and boy was it amazing. Evan added two TV screens, our monogram which was projected onto the front of the building and then our dance floor throughout the night, and beautiful stage for our amazing musician and MC. Although this post is mostly about Evan, I need to make a shout out for Mike who was our MC and musician for the night. Mike MC’d, sang, played the acoustic guitar, and played the trumpet throughout the night. Evan and Mike seamlessly switched from DJ music to live music and it was a great mix. Our guests loved the live entertainment piece, noting how special it was and how amazing Mike sang! I loved singing along to many of the songs while we ate our courses or while mignling with our guests. Although this is an extremely long review, my experience with Evan, Mike and Party Harty was truly amazing. We have had an experience probably different than most, but Evan has truly become a friend throughout our wedding planning process. I cannot wait to call him up the next event we have or maybe just invite him over to party with us! Thank you again Evan! You made our day the best day of our lives!

My husband and I hired this vendor for our November 2020 wedding. Evan was our DJ/MC and he was wonderful! With the craziness of planning a 2020 wedding, we weren’t sure how our vendors were feeling. Evan not only helped in making our wedding amazing, but he also gave us some advice while we were still on the fence about continuing on with everything. He was onboard with the many changes we had to make. When changes did have to be made (more than once) due to COVID restrictions he was more than willing to accommodate us with a refund as well as including a few add-ons for free. He had a fun and sweet personality and the music was exactly what we wanted!

Evan is so professional and made our daughter’s wedding extra special during these very unsettling times.

Evan was great! His personality and professionalism helped our mini wedding a night to remember. Highly recommend!

Evan our DJ did a great job especially doing these hard times of no dancing. He kept everybody entertained and enjoying themselves. He was unbelievable will be hiring him for other events i run

Best dj/mc ever!!! We are so happy we went with Party Harty for our special day. Evan is an incredible MC. He was the fourth dj company we met with and we knew right away that we had to use them. They gave us exactly what we wanted and played every song from our list. Evan has an incredible energy and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests are still talking about how awesome our wedding was. If you want a good party, go with party harty!!!

Where do I even begin??? Party Harty truly pulled through for me and provided beyond incredible entertainment for our wedding last Saturday. When I got the call that my original venue cancelled just two days before our wedding, I was in panic trying to find a new venue. When I found a new venue, I called Evan at Party Harty and he reassured me that no matter where the party was, they would be there and do whatever they needed to do to make it happen. Well, let me tell you ... that’s EXACTLY what they did. They went to my new venue on Friday to set up and get prepared since my new venue was a temple and they couldn’t get in until an hour before the party started on Saturday. Without any hesitation, Evan said “of course...no problem....we will be there and do whatever we need to do.” And that’s exactly what they did. Onto my review of the actual party.... incredible and high energy from our MC Ricky and DJ Evan along with the two percussionists. I have gotten phone calls telling me how much FUN they had dancing along and listening to Ricky truly enjoy himself along with us. They let us play the bongos and have a blast. Ricky was comical at the perfect parts, and sentimental at the others. He truly got the party going and encouraged everyone to get dancing on the dance floor. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better team to provide entertainment at our wedding. The zoom photographer was alllll over taking awesome pictures that went right up onto the two TV screens. That added a perfect touch along with music videos that were played during songs. I received the zoom pictures in a zip file just a few days after my event and they were so simple to download and share out. I highly recommend the TV screens and zoom photographer. Party Harty is the BEST and I couldn’t have asked for anything more! They are personable, reliable and most importantly FUN!!!!!! Thank you to Evan, Ricky and the whole team for helping us throw the best wedding ever !!!!!!! A+++++++ rating !!!!!

I am convinced partyharty is the reason everyone says my wedding is going to be hard to top. Mike and mike got the crowd going and dancing all night. The music was amazing and I had the most amazing time dancing the night away at my own wedding. Mike also played guitar during my cocktail hour and it gave it a more intimate feel. They are the best in the business!

PH events was amazing. They did everything perfect. I worked directly with Howie and Evan the owners. They put together song mixes for us to break into a routine after our first dance. From sparklers, snap shots and more they were a complete pleasure to work with.

PartyHarty threw us the afterparty of the century. We could not have been happier with the way it all came together. Between the lights, the dance floor, the music.. the atmosphere was set and was everything we could’ve hoped for. The crew set up the party in the same room we had our cocktail hour in earlier that night which was truly hard to believe as they made it look like a completely different place. The team did an unreal job transforming the room into exactly what we wanted to see. From the second our wedding band finished their final song in the ballroom, DJ Evan immediately had the beats started in the after party room and our guests flooded in. From the months weeks and days leading up to our wedding, party harty made sure to coordinate every last detail and more, and the night far exceeded our expectations. We received a flash drive with all of the best pictures only days after our wedding which we were thrilled to be able to look back and recap the night so quickly. Thank you party harty for helping to make our afterparty one for the books.. we are positive that our friends will never stop talking about it!!!

PH Event Group did an amazing job at our wedding! Everyone was dancing the entire night! Evan, in particular, was extremely accommodating, he responded quickly to any questions I had. They played all of the songs that we requested. They really made it the perfect night! Highly recommend them for any wedding! Thanks so so much!

Evan and his team were absolutely fantastic! As the Bride I just wanted to dance all night long with my friends and family the whole night, and that is exactly what I did! My friends and family are STILL raving about how much fun Party Harty made our event. I 100% recommend everyone use them for any upcoming events!

Wow, wow, wow. I was terrified to book a Long Island DJ for fear it would be the usual tacky and gaudy vibe I’ve seen a lot of weddings on Long Island have..but party hardy is the furtherest thing from that. Evan and his team might be the most personable people ever. My wedding was absolutely perfect because of them. They knew exactly what vibe of songs I wanted just simply by me telling them a few artists I liked. I didn’t need to create a playlist (though they gave my the option) and instead trusted them to make it for me. Evan is the type of guy you trust right away. It is clear he puts his heart and name on the line of every event he is a part of. I don’t think I left the dance floor for more than 60 seconds for 5 hours straight. It was just SO much fun. We chose to the do the live instruments with our music and it really made it spectacular. I ran around with a tambourine I took off our musicians table and acted like it was my dance recital because that’s just how much I was in to the music and how much confidence Evan gave me. I really have never had such a good time dancing in my life and I went to a party college...lol. Since my wedding I have been getting non stop messages about how much fun everyone had and great the dance floor vibe was. We also chose the snap shot option party hardy offers and they sent us 100s of pics a day after our wedding! Thank you to Evan and everyone at party hardy for making our day so perfect!!!

Evan and his team are the best! They communicated with us flawlessly in the weeks leading up to our wedding and played great music the entire night. Evan really knows how to read a crowd and gets people out on the dance floor! Our families are still saying they loved the music, a week after the wedding. We also opted to have a sax player with us for the night - he was wonderful and was the perfect addition to our party! We can't say enough good things about PH Events! Thank you Evan, Wendi, and your entire team!

Party Harty and the entire PH Event group were amazing! Evan is an incredible MC and DJ and truly a pleasure to work with. He did a great job engaging everyone without being the center of attention. His music selection was spot on, the indoor fireworks and lighting perfect! The sax player was awesome and exceeded our expectations. The video screens and photography were a hit! Evan and his team of photographers took some great pictures. We have received many compliments from our guests on the entertainment, music selection and the spectacular job Evan did as MC saying it was one of the best wedding receptions they had been to. We cannot thank Evan enough for doing such an exceptional job with our wedding reception. He pulled together all of the pieces and created the best reception anyone could ask for making it the perfect day.

Party Harty was the best DJ & MC we could've had for our wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how great they were; it felt like celebrating with family rather than a vendor. If we could get married again we would work with Party Harty again. They are very responsive and fun.

Party Hardy was phenomenal! If you’re on the fence— take the plunge! We worked with Evan and he was sincerely awesome! We had a few unconventional speeches/ceremony features and he worked with us to make it all flow so well. He was such a positive energy through the whole day, and not at all overwhelming or attention-hungry. They really listened to our requests and helped make our wedding the most perfect day of our lives! We added two instrumentalists who were phenomenal, we had the light up stage floor underneath our sweetheart table, and added fans to blow on the dance floor— each was a huge hit! We also worked with Evan to get the perfect photo booth setup for what we wanted. Seriously, we could not recommend them more.

If you are planning a wedding, do yourselves a favor and hire Party Harty Entertainment. More specifically, have Evan as your DJ. Aside from myself and my husband, everyone at our wedding thought he was fantastic!!! He played every song I asked for and also took requests from our guests. We had a small backyard affair but he was still able to get my guests dancing. Thank you Party Harty and Evan for a fabulous time!!!

Evan and his crew at Party Harty Entertainment far exceeded our expectations for our wedding at The Crescent Beach Club this summer. They were punctual, professional, and very easy to deal with. I highly recommend booking them. Their prices are reasonable, and their customer service was fantastic. They offer extensive additional options to their packages to make sure you have the exact wedding you want.

Evan and his staff were incredible! They made our special day even better than we could’ve imagined! They honored every request we had, played every song we loved and kept the party going. The flute/ sax player was a total hit!!! Our guest could not stop raving about him. We also had the sparklers, which really made our grand entrance extra special! At the end of the night, my husband and I could not get an Uber or a taxi to our hotel. Evan noticed us standing there, and ended up giving us a ride...talk about full service !!! We had the best experience with Party Harty and would recommend 1000%!

If you are in the market for the BEST DJ, Evan is your guy. My husband booked him for our surprise 30th wedding anniversary party after experiencing Party Harty Entertainment at a friends wedding. I promise you will not be disappointed. Everyone loved the music he played,even our guest who didn't dance. He took requests from all our guests and was the most interactive DJ I have ever seen. Worth every single penny for our party.

Party Harty did our wedding on June 22nd at gurneys star island in montauk. This is not The closest venue but Evan and his team made a day of It and were there early to set up and review last minute details with our catering manager. From planning to execution, everything went even better than we could have imagined. Evan listened to every detail that was important to us and most importantly KNOWS HIS STUFF when it comes to the music to play to bring unfortgettable energy into a room. There were so many other additions that made PH such an incredible choice. They have their own photographers who took additional pictures of the magic on the dance floor and those moments were posted live on the tv screens we had in the sides of the Dj booth. Our guests loved seeing these throughout the night and we enjoyed seeing many of the proofs only three days after our wedding ! one of the most incredible additions we had that PH offers was Asher, the electric violinist. He is beyond talented and playing live on the dance floor with our guests was such a unique experience. We are so grateful for the magic that PH brought to our night. I see more than half of the guests who attended our wedding every day and everyone Still talks about how it was one of the best, if not the best, wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you, Evan, for making the dream we envisioned become a reality!

Evan and Party Harry were amazing for our wedding!! They had everyone up and dancing and really brought the energy to the party!! I highly recommend them for your wedding or any event at all!! Evan is one of the nicest people I've ever met and they made my wedding fantastic. They even worked out a surprise arrival for my brother who wasn't supposed to be at my wedding (he is in the military). They played great music Including everything I requested, were SO easy to work with, and really made our wedding amazing!! We got so many compliments about them! I also do recommend the awesome Fan DJ booth! It was a godsend when everyone was sweating on the dance floor!!

As our MC/DJ, Evan did a wonderful job - both on the day of the wedding as well as every day leading up to it! He was friendly, personable, fun, and happy to answer the 20,000 questions we had about the music for our big day! I grew up knowing Party Harty only for bar mitzvahs but was absolutely thrilled with the level of professionalism and more mature music selection for our wedding! I also recommend adding Mark, the sax player/flutist - he really helped add another dimension to the cocktail hour and was very cool! Definitely a great choice! We highly recommend Evan and Party Harty!

Nonstop party! Accommodated my 2 part first dance with my dad. Kept the party going all night, unique upgrades. Competitive pricing! No regrets here! :)

Evan and the crew at Party Harty were absolutely professional, accommodating, and great to work with for our March 2019 wedding. In preparing for the day, my husband and I had very different tastes and styles as to what music would be great for the crowd and for ourselves, with Evan, we had no need to worry! He put us at ease with making sure our reception would have the right touch of “us” while being absolutely enjoyable for all our guests! Everyone was up and dancing, genuinely enjoying themselves. We have had so many compliments and praises on the entertainment group, the songs played, and how wonderfully it was MC'd. Not only was the music great, but we had used their fan set up for the DJ booth which went over so well, everyone stayed comfortable while dancing all night long! We included a percussionist with our DJ'd tunes which completely elevated our reception and gave guests an opportunity to show off their drumming skills! The ZAP photographers were great and even took pictures at cocktail hour of our guests, all which came out wonderfully. They worked so well together with our primary photographer and videographer, always courteous and getting the best action shots on the dance floor. We opted for a photo booth for the reception as well. We had the slim booth which took great quality photos which provided fast copies in frames and even digital copies sent to phones right away! Not even a week later we received flash drives with all the pictures from both ZAP photographers and the photo booth – extremely fast and efficient! We are so happy that we chose Party Harty as our entertainment company and were blown away by their courtesy, professionalism, and ability to make our reception one to remember. Thank you so much and we cannot recommend you enough to all our friends and family!

I am so happy we hired Party Harty! Evan and his endless energy was amazing and contagious - people were dancing the entire wedding! The wedding would have kept going if we didn't have to leave the venue. Thank you Evan and your team for m
