I would highly recommend Andrew Westphal for all of your live piano and DJ needs! We hired him to do live piano at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then transition into DJ'ing f...
or our reception and he absolutely crushed it! Our guests loved the ambience he was able to set for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was able to easily accommodate our requests for specific songs for our walk down the aisle (it seems like he could probably learn just about anything you could want!).
Then for the DJ'ing he was a perfect MC, bringing the energy and knowing when to talk and when to let the music flow. Planning was a cinch with Andrew -- after a few phone calls to get to know each other and filling out a sheet with some music themes or vibes he took it all from there and let us focus on just enjoying our day. His ability to do both the live music and DJ'ing at such a high level was great logistically for us as well -- one less vendor to coordinate for the big day!
All in all, if you're looking for live piano, a fantastic DJ, or both -- Andrew's your guy!
Having a good DJ at your wedding can make or break the night - and Andrew truly did make our wedding! We immediately were drawn to him since he plays the piano in addition to DJing...
and we knew it would be a really nice added touch to our ceremony (it was!!) After speaking to him for the first time, we knew we were a good match and felt he was understanding, patient, flexible, calming and very organized! We are so glad we used Andrew as he executed the day perfectly - from bringing all the highest quality equipment, to working with the venue and other vendors, to leading the guests seamlessly through the evening and then keeping them on the dance floor for the whole night - he does it all! He does a great job at reading the room and the crowd and we still have guests raving about the music at our wedding!
Andrew was the DJ at our wedding this past weekend. He is so talented with what you do. Our guests were raving about his piano playing during cocktail hour and how fun the dancing ...
was. He really helped us to maintain the flow of the night and hit all of the important parts of our wedding timeline seamlessly! We so enjoyed working with him! Andrew also Was the DJ for my brother’s wedding and both were a blast. He’s been a hit time and time again. Andrew, we can’t thank you enough. Pleasure working with you!
Stop what you are doing and hire Andrew for your upcoming event! Andrew DJ/MC our September 2022 wedding and was super responsive, professional, and fun! We hired Andrew based on a...
ll the 5 star ratings and after our first conversations with him we immediately booked him. Andrew played piano for the ceremony and cocktail hour then switched over to his DJ equipment for our reception. He had everything you need for a full ceremony and reception including mics and up lighting! We had a small handful of must play songs for the reception and let Andrew do his thing, and he did not disappoint! Our dance floor was packed the entire 4 hours of dancing- he just knows how to feed the crowd and played songs that even kept the older folks going as well. Several months later and we still have guests raving about how great the DJ was. I cannot recommend Andrew enough.
I just can’t say enough good things about Andrew! He was AMAZING and was truly key in making our wedding reception at Helsinki Hudson such a success! He played the piano for co...
cktail hour and then transformed into an amazing DJ afterwards. He not only provided an easy to use interface for choosing songs, but he also spent time with us beforehand to get a better feel for how we wanted the evening to flow. His passion for his craft showed and he had the crowd dancing all night! I highly recommend him for your next event.
Andrew is absolutely the best DJ we could have chosen. He played piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then was the DJ for the reception. I can't tell you how many people...
came up to me saying that they loved the DJ throughout the night--and people of all ages were saying this. We had an outdoor venue and the dance floor was going all night and expanded into different areas of the Farmer's market. He was AMAZING! Highly recommend him to anyone wanting an incredible DJ and such a skilled and talented piano player.
Andrew Westphal is the best - hands down! Stop reading this review and go book him right now!
Andrew played during my ceremony and cocktail hour and DJd the reception -- he even ...
found an accomplished, amazing guitarist to accompany him. He was incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning process. He answered all of my questions and I knew I was in good hands. His client area on his website is also great for planning purposes.
And the music on the night-of....
The ceremony and cocktail music were absolutely perfect. He got what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. And the dance floor was packed the entire time -- I received SO many compliments on the music choice. He had everyone, from our friends to our grandparents, up from their chairs and getting down the whole evening.
I can't recommend Andrew enough! Go book him!
We chose Andrew to DJ our wedding because we loved that he offered to play live piano. He was absolutely wonderful! Andrew played the piano for the ceremony, cocktail hour and di...
nner, and then switched to DJing for the remainder of the reception. We relied on his expertise in helping to choose both the piano music and reception music, and are so glad we did. He knew what to play to keep our guests out on the dance floor. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful our DJ was. Everyone thought the live piano was beautiful, and had a blast out on the dance floor during the reception. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an amazing wedding DJ!
So happy that we booked Andrew for our 50 person wedding in Hudson, NY. He played the piano (beautifully I might add) for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner service, and then...
switched over to DJ mode to really get the party started. He was so fun and did an awesome job. I never would have dreamed that we would have that much dancing at our wedding but the floor was literally never empty. Parents, friends, and kids were all loving his selections. He was exactly what we were looking for – could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Andrew!!
Andrew was such an incredible addition to our wedding and we couldn't be happier with him as our DJ and cocktail hour musician! Most of our guests said he was the best DJ they've e...
ver experienced at a wedding and we completely agree! He not only was the DJ for our reception, but also played the piano during cocktail hour and it was fantastic. Andrew worked with us to ensure he understood the vibe of the wedding and made sure all of our must have music was incorporated into the day. Andrew is a professional when using the mic and only brings attention to himself when it is necessary, definitely not one of those cheesy announcer types. He was able to get everyone on the dance floor with his music selections throughout the entire night, with guests chanting for an encore at the end. Andrew was such a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him!
Andrew was fantastic! Our wedding was the best dance party of my life and I have Andrew to thank for it. A number of guests from the wedding have commented on how great the DJ was ...

s always right there when we needed him the night of (checking in with us and making sure we were happy) I would recommend him a thousand times over.

Andrew was professional, personable, and reliable from the minute we chose him as our DJ. He guided us through the entire process, and with our input, really created an expert play...
list for our wedding. Because of him, our wedding atmosphere was flawless. People were on the dance floor within the first song or two, and the bridal party introductions were exactly on queue. He hit every song at the exact moment, and really made it a party to remember. I’ve never been to a wedding where people were dancing and enjoying themselves until the very last song; however, this changed with our wedding. We still have people calling to tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. None of this would have been possible if it weren’t for Andrew and his excellent work. We highly recommend Andrew for any and all of your music needs!
Andrew is a very talented musician on top of being a wonderful DJ. His theme is very low-key, which is exactly what type of DJ we were looking for. He knew exactly when to slow t...
hings down, and when to pick things up. He was very accommodating, and his website was very practical and user-friendly. There are sections for the bride and groom to choose their wedding music, special requests, and even an area for guests to select music (optional). All-in-all, a wonderful DJ, very professional, great price, and a very nice person to work with!
Andrew was great! He has a true knowledge of music and was very helpful in selecting songs for certain parts of the reception. He also edited my first dance song and used many sugg...
