One Love Music is a boutique live music company offering a versatile array of ensembles to suit any event, from smoking jazz bands, classical chamber ensembles and niche acts, to their famous roof-raising dance bands. Led by bandleader and artistic director Eric Nicolas – whose solo acoustic guitar & vocals act is the beating heart of One Love – they have rocked hundreds of parties, weddings, concerts and special events, up & down the East Coast, nationally and internationally, for over 15 years.
Every member of One Love is a musical powerhouse in their own career, having toured and recorded with the biggest names in pop music: Prince, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, The Stones, Paul Simon, Ray Charles, Cyndi Lauper, Sheila E, Miami Sound Machine, Rod Stewart, Hall & Oates, Bon Jovi, Marc Cohn, Gloria Gaynor, Taylor Dayne, Shakira, Tower of Power, Nile Rogers, Rob Halford, innumerable Broadway shows, and more.
One Love knows that every wedding is as unique as the love story that led to it; every event has its own special personality. From your first contact through the entire planning process, you have full access to Eric Nicolas and producer/business manager Melissa Rodnon, who guide you through every step of your music planning process. With decades of experience in music, theater and performance production, they take their time getting to know you, your taste in music and the vibe you want for your party, and they collaborate closely with you to craft a unique, unforgettable night of music. Whether your musical tastes run to country & classic rock, top 40 & contemporary dance hits, Motown, soul & funk, 90s alt rock and 80s classics — or all of it mixed together! — One Love plays it all, always the right music at the right time, from the moment your first guests arrive for your ceremony to the last explosive dance song of the night.
Whether you are working with an independent event planner, the team at your venue, or doing it all yourself, One Love will work with you and your professionals to make sure that the flow of your event is smooth and polished, from load-in to load-out. With a top-of-the-line digital sound system and
dedicated engineers, One Love can install in any kind of space: a luxurious, carpeted banquet hall on Long Island, a raw, industrial space in Brooklyn, a tent in the middle of a field in Connecticut, a private home in Vermont, a luxury resort in the Caribbean. One Love is not a large and impersonal agency; they do a smaller number of finely-curated events each year, giving their full attention to each one as if it were the only event on the calendar.
From an intimate gathering to a blow-out with hundreds of guests, One Love can rock a party with any size band to suit your vibe, your venue, and especially your budget. Generous discounts for off-peak dates throughout the year.

One Love Review - Must Book!!!
Fantastic Experience With One Love!
We wanted an upscale, jazz type feel to our event and One Love was able to curate a specific ensemble just for us. The pricing fantastic and they worked with us within budget.
Our guests had one consistent comment throughout the night: “Wow, where did you find the band? They are awesome!” Even after the event the comments continued about the band. Don’t get me wrong, the venue and the food were also simply unbelievably great (probably the most beautiful venue in New England!) but One Love received “alllll the love” from our guests.
I highly recommend this band if you are looking for talent that is top shelf and even more importantly nice people who are truly concerned about delivering exactly what you are asking for at your event!
Also …they respond immediately to your questions, calls or emails. They were recommended to us from our venue who worked with them many times and came with high praise! So glad we went with this recommendation because One Love is simply the best!
High recommend! Best decision we made for our wedding!
The Ultimate Wedding Band That Made Our Night Unforgettable"
Their vibrant energy, unmatched professionalism, and genuine passion for what they do shone through in every interaction. What truly set One Love apart was that Eric and Melissa are not only the masterminds behind the band but also active performers in it. This gave the experience a personal touch, as they brought us into the music, making every moment feel uniquely ours. Their attention to detail and collaborative spirit were exceptional, helping us create a perfectly personalized soundtrack for both our ceremony and reception.
Our guests are still raving about the band. The energy on the dance floor was electric from start to finish—no one wanted the night to end! Many of our friends and family said it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard, and we couldn’t agree more. The night felt so authentically “us,” and that’s thanks to Eric, Melissa, and the entire One Love team.
Not only did they deliver incredible music, but their advice on the overall flow of the evening was invaluable. Following their guidance ensured the energy stayed high all night long. Months later, we’re still hearing from guests about how special and unforgettable the celebration was.
Eric, Melissa, and the One Love crew, thank you for making our wedding a magical experience we’ll treasure forever. We felt so loved, so celebrated, and had more fun than we could have imagined. We’re already counting down the days until we can gather everyone again to have you play at our next event!
