    Best night of our lives!

    OH MY GOODNESS - when I say this band brought the party, THEY BROUGHT IT! I don't think I ever left the dance floor from the moment they started playing. Rythm & Vine had the best energy, and everyone from our friends to my grandmother in her late 80s was out on the dance floor. Beyond the group's jaw-dropping talent, Max was also an absolute delight to work with and he truly made the entire process so easy and fun! 10/10 would hire them again for every celebration - they were AMAZING!!

    Don’t Look Any Further!

    Element79 played for my son’s wedding. THEY WERE INCREDIBLE! Everyone loved the band and is still talking about them. They had everyone dancing the whole night. Every band member was very talented and had great energy and presence. The band leader was amazing! He was so talented, had great energy and paid special attention to the brides playlist. I highly recommend them!

    Five stars plus , plus, plus!!

    It was an absolutely incredible night! The vibes and energy from Element All Stars was off the charts. We were all blown away. Elements sets the bar for what a wedding band should be.

    From the minute we entered the room until the band stopped at 1 am, the room was rocking! No one left the wedding until the very end - and then we still had to kick them out. People were screaming for an encore!

    Our guests have been texting, calling and emailing non-stop about the band. The Broadway quality vocals, the musicians, the rapper, the energy - every single member of the band is crazy talented. We have never seen a vocalist tackle Michael Jackson and then crush ACDC. Best line of the night was a guest coming up to me and saying - I thought I was going to a wedding but I ended up at a concert!

    Thank you Erin and all the members of the band for giving us a night we will never ever forget!

    Unbelievable

    Press Play was INSANITY!!!! I want to thank the entire Element team for listening to my ideas and making them become a reality. Music makes any party and everyone has continued to compliment us on how incredible the band was.

    Music has always been the key to my heart and instead of dreaming of my wedding and wedding dress in my single girl days…I was always dreaming of the music! This band exceeded anything I could have asked for!

    Five stars isn't enough!!!

    I decided to use Erin and her team for our wedding after seeing them at another wedding that looked like so much fun. When describing the "vibe" we were trying to cultivate for our guests to Erin and Brooke we told them we wanted our guests to be holding onto the tables begging to get up to dance by the time dinner was over and WOW did they deliver that and SO MUCH MORE! It has been 3 months since our wedding and every single guest can not stop raving about the band. Element was without a doubt the biggest hit of our big day. Brooke and Team were so thoughtful and precise in helping us curate every single moment throughout the day to ensure everything was perfect. Erin and her bandmates have the most innate and incredible gift to read the room, and give your guests the music they want at every perfect moment. They are the loviest team to work with and it's so obvious how much they love what they do. I can not recommend them enough! Thank you x's a million Team Element!

    Best band ever!

    Working with Element was absolutely phenomenal. We hired the All Stars and they were by far the best wedding band we ever heard and they were worth the splurge. Our guests told us that they felt like they were attending a music event instead of another boring wedding. The band was interactive in the most professional and fun ways. They expertly navigated the ceremony music, transition to dinner background music and then full on dance party. The professional musicians in our family with high standards were impressed too. We were completely wowed by the All Star’s performance (our friends even gave extra applause as some of the singers walked out of the venue) and we only wish we could do it again and dance next weekend. You won't regret working with them and we recommend them without any reservations.

    Armando and Band are the best!!

    We couldn't be more thrilled with Element! Armando and his band were incredible. We received so many compliments throughout the evening, and continue to receive them. We were the most excited about the band and they completely lived up to our dreams. Highly recommend them!

    Great booking experience and remote demo!

    We had the pleasure of working with Taylor to find our dream wedding band! She made the process fun, easy, and listened to our preferences to make amazing band recommendations. We cannot wait for them to perform at our wedding next May!

    Amazing experience

    We found Element Music after hearing them at a friend's wedding. We haven't stopped talking about them since. When it came time to plan a wedding of our own, we were so excited to meet with Element and learn all the options they had to offer. They are professional, flexible and definitely insanely talented. We are so excited to have booked them for our May 2022 wedding!

    Utterly incredible!

    For years I have dreamed of having Element Music at my wedding, and I am SO excited that dream is coming true! Both Hollie and Taylor have already made this experience feel so magical, and I haven't even had my big day yet! They are responsive, helpful, enthusiastic, and just absolutely fantastic in every way. I would HIGHLY recommend using Element Music if you are currently in the process of planning your wedding or event. There aren't enough amazing things I can say about them. I know they are going to make my day so special.

    Element music is #1

    Element Music All Stars was hands the best decision we ever made for our wedding. Our guests were STILL talking about how incredible the All Stars were a week afterwards.

    The Element Music team was a DREAM to work with - the best professionals in the industry. They even made us last minute mixes to accommodate my family's request to have Turkish music playing, and seamlessly plugged in the audio for our surprise performances.

    Working with Element Music was THE BEST investment we could have ever made for our event. We would work with them without hesitation in the future.

    Our guests were speechless

    We discovered Element Music when we attended a friend's wedding and saw — and we knew right then and there that we'd need to have one of their bands play our wedding when we got married. Fast forward 3 years, and Jonny Rizzo and his orchestra were everything we could have possibly dreamed of!

    For starters, they are the consummate pros. Jonny and his team's cool, calm confidence meant we could completely trust them throughout the planning process and on the big day itself. After all, why would there anything for us to worry about, when we've never planned a wedding and this is there bread and butter? Our confidence was not misplaced. They showed up early, set up efficiently, and collaborated flawlessly with our ceremony violinist (a relative) to run sound for her. When it came time for the reception, Jonny made sure the flow of the night was seamless, subtly and skillfully adjusting their timeline to match the venue and caterers' needs.

    As for the entertainment itself, it was to die for. Jonny is a killer emcee, bringing exactly the right of energy and charisma to the party. The way the band seamlessly transitioned from one song to the next, always reading the room's vibes to determine their next song... so dynamic and so impressive! It was wild to watch them work, wordlessly signaling to each other what the next song should be. And the musicians — all 11 of them — were fantastic. It was a huge hit when the horn players came out into the crowd and let a few guests "help" them play by sliding the trombone for them, and people have commented that the guitarist who played a solo set during dinner set the mood perfectly.

    They were also so accommodating of our little requests: They provided ceremony sound equipment for our officiant, and brought uplighting to make our ballroom truly pop. When we said we wanted a big, fabulous Hora, they delivered. One of my bridesmaids (a professional singer in California) was able to sing a couple songs with the band, and they all absolutely slayed. Perhaps most importantly, Jonny even indulged my life-long dream to crowd surf at my wedding by announcing it, and picked the perfect song ("Mr. Brightside" by the Killers) for me to scream along to while I soared above our guests.

    People are still talking about how unbelievable our band was, and I imagine they will for years to come. I know we certainly will. Thank you Jonny and team! xoxo

    Could not have been happier

    The preparation for the wedding with the staff at Element was exceptional. They are so easy to work with and very responsive. The BAND (Press Play) was unreal. They had the party rocking the entire evening. They are superb. We could not be happier, they made the night! HIGHLY recommend.

    Pre play was awesome

    Press Play was the band for my son's wedding last weekend. I can't say how many people told me that this was the BEST wedding band they have ever heard. I was most impressed as they played for the crowd and not themselves. Excellent and I mean - means world class musicians. I played drums on 2 songs and they made me sound good and comfortable with everything.

    An Amazing Music Production Company

    From the moment we stepped into the studio, we had a good feeling about Element Music and we could not have been happier with our decision to use them as the production company for our wedding band. Our event producer Gisele was truly a godsend - she was incredibly responsive and made everything about the planning process a breeze. We would recommend Element Music ten times over to anyone thinking about hiring a band for their wedding!

    The team at Element was great to talk to about my special day! Consistently followed up ensuring that all my needs were met! We did not book yet, but based on my initial experience they are on the top of the list!

    Top notch talent & service!

    We had such a pleasant experience working with Element. The entire experience was top notch from start to finish. The band selection process was excellent - Hollie sat us down to identify our preferences and styles, and matched us with the perfect band for our taste - ‘Off The Grid.’ They have the exceptional ability to blend together classics & newer songs, even Electronic music which we love. For a ~300 person Black Tie wedding (at The Liberty Warehouse), the band was one of the most important parts for us to get right. Our guests were on the dance floor THE ENTIRE NIGHT. It was truly amazing. Rasheed and his band are so talented. They worked with us to customize our lineup and even cut together clips of our first dance and parent dances so that we could practice ahead of time. Theresa was our producer and she was amazing - I highly suggest requesting her as your producer and day-of presence. Many guests remarked that this was the best wedding band they have ever experienced. Thank you, Element!

    Professional Party Starters

    A good band set the tone for the wedding, and we knew this was an important decision. When we first met Erin at Element Music, we knew we were going to hire them. Erin also ended up being our band leader and Mel was our production manager. Between the two of them, they put together the most incredible set I have ever heard and our guests were blown away. At one point, it almost felt like a concert with everyone looking at the stage watching them perform and dancing the night away. Erin and her band even learned a song that was special to us and – wow – they nailed it! Our first dance song was perfect, the few “must plays” were scattered throughout the night and played at the most appropriate times, and after our last song of the night, our guests started a “one more song” chant.

    We also used them for ceremony music (guitar, keys, and violin) and it was the most dreamy music to walk down the aisle to.

    Hiring Erin and Element Music was the best decision for our wedding and I will recommend them to all of my friends planning their weddings.

    We were thrilled with Velvet Radio. They sounded exactly like every artist they played. Theresa, the Producer working with us made sure that everything we asked for was delivered. She was wonderful and her attention to detail was terrific.
    Velvet Radio was outstanding and they created an amazing evening for us that we will remember for a lifetime!
    Everyone is still talking about how great they were!! Thank you so very much!

    A year has gone by since my wife and I were married but our friends and family are still talking about the spectacular band we had at our wedding! The Groove Society was an all-star group of musicians and vocalists, who dazzled our guests with their musical gifts and high-energy spirits which they infused into the night. From the ceremony, through the cocktail hour and into the reception, The Groove Society electrified every room in the castle taking our guests and us on a NON-STOP, emotional musical journey! Talent aside, they are some of the sweetest and most caring people to work with, even helping me to surprise my wife with a vocal performance of my own! They did everything from amazing mash ups to tender moments when they sat on bar stools during dinner caressing our guests with sounds of Bocelli!
    Our musical director and the owner of Element Music, Marianne Bennett, is a musical genius! Finding a band was the hardest part of planning our wedding but when we met Marianne, we instantly knew we were in good hands. To make us feel comfortable, she asked the music director of The Groove Society, Phil and the amazing vocalist Nikki into our first meeting. The three of them instantly collaborated mixes of some of our favorite songs, right in front of us! Their talent and musical intuition blew us away! Marianne went on to the contour every aspect of our wedding day from having our favorite songs sung as we walked down the aisle to having the entire band lead our wedding party from the ballroom to the after party room in a musical parade of “Let the Sunshine In”!
    Thank you to Marianne and the AMAZINGLY talented Groove Society for rocking the Pleasantdale Chateau with us!

    Definitely hire this band for your wedding! We had Element's Rhythm & Vine led by Adam Bastien at our recent wedding at the St. Regis and all I can say is that the dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night! They killed it and made our wedding one to remember. Adam had my bride in tears when we first met them and he sand our wedding song (Sinatra's The Way You Look Tonight) and we hired them immediately! His range across all genres - from the classics, to 80s, to hip hop, and modern Top 40 were incredible! We can't wait 'til all the videos come in and we can watch again!

    Words cannot describe how EPIC Phil and the Groove Society were on our wedding day! Our guests were on the dance floor until the last moment of the reception, and our ceremony music was simply perfection. The made the party fun - even myself and my husband had our drinks on the dance floor and partied it up! Thank you Phil, Kelli and the entire Groove Society for adding an incredible touch with music to our wedding.

    Three months after our wedding, our friends and family (and us) are still talking about Groove Society! They are hands down THE BEST BAND in the business. Each musician is beyond talented, singing and able to cover every genre you can think of (from Motown to pop, jazz to rap etc). Our guests were dancing from the moment they entered the reception. They didn't even want to sit down for meals, the band was THAT good! Robin Ross was incredible from start to finish making sure the band played exactly what we wanted to hear. They definitely were the best and easiest decision we made along the wedding planning process! We would get married a million times over just to see this band perform!
