Danced the Night Away

3 years ago, prior to my now husband and I dating, we attended a friends wedding where the DJ was awesome. As soon as we were engaged, we KNEW we needed to hire that DJ. We asked our friends and they pointed us to Bialeks - specifically DJ Brian Weber. He had us give playlists to him as a reference (we gave him must plays, dinner music, and general inspiration), and he absolutely crushed it on our wedding day. He played songs all the way through (no mixing which was important to us), and kept the party hopping - the dance floor was packed all night. Everyone from our friends (mid-20s) and our parents + their friends + family (50s-70s) all loved the music. DJ Brian made our wedding day so special, accommodated our requests, and blew us away with the music.

Amazing partner for your music needs

We worked with Bialek to book 2 bands. String Trio were a wonderful trio for the ceremony. They were easy to communicate with, delightful in-person, and sounded beautiful. Black Tie was our reception band and....they just KNOCKED IT OUT! I can't tell you how many compliments we got for having them. Zach was super easy to work with leading up to it and the lead singer (whose name is escaping me right now) was so great as an emcee. The couple wanted a party, and they got a party!

Whatever you're looking for, Bialek has a band for you!

Best decision of the entire planning process

We received compliments all night long about how Radio City was the best wedding band our guests have heard- even from couples who had a band at their own wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Scott was such a pleasure to work with. The entire band was extremely talented and played exactly the kind of music we wanted. They learned our first dance song and performed it perfectly. Highly recommend adding on the horns! It makes such a difference. We cannot recommend Radio City enough!
