Hal Prince is Awesome!

Hal Prince truly set the tone for our wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion on 10/31/25. Jill was a pleasure to work with in coordinating our unique sonic vision for the event. She helped us put together a beautiful violin and cello duo for the ceremony and cocktail hour, providing a mixture of classical pieces and contemporary rock songs. The combination was absolutely beautiful and our guests loved it. DJ Steve brought the party to the reception with a mixture of traditional wedding songs, contemporary rock songs, and some notable halloween theme music. Hal Prince also provided lighting which added to our aesthetic, creating a truly unique event. We highly recommend Hal Prince for any type of celebration!

The best out there!

Hal Prince Music & Entertainment was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The live music completely made our wedding day. From the gorgeous string quartet that played our ceremony , to the live violinist before the ceremony, to the incredible cocktail hour music, to the band that absolutely crushed our reception, and finally the DJ who kept the party going until the very end — every single part was perfection.

Working with Jill was a dream. She is incredibly organized, responsive, and made the planning process feel effortless. She anticipated our needs, answered every question, and executed every detail flawlessly.

Jay, our band leader, was equally amazing. He is so talented, professional, and knowledgeable. He knew exactly how to keep the energy high and the dance floor full, and he made sure the night flowed seamlessly from start to finish.

The entire Hal Prince team is talented, warm, and truly next-level. The vocalists are powerful, engaging, and had everyone up and dancing all night long. Our guests are still raving about how incredible the music was. It truly felt like a concert and a celebration all in one.

If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, hire Hal Prince!!

DJ Steve for the Win!

We hired DJ Steve for our wedding at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown June 28th. He handled the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Communication before the wedding was fantastic. He helped us organize our speeches and activities, and made sure we had a song for every required moment. (a cake-cutting song?) On the day, the sound quality at the outdoor ceremony was impeccable, all of our music was exactly what we asked for, and everything went off without a hitch. At the reception, the DJ Steve kept the dance floor hopping all night long. Guests still come up to us to say how much fun they had dancing at our wedding and how great the DJ was. You can't go wrong with DJ Steve!

Wedding Day

We recently had the pleasure of working with Hal Prince Entertainment and I have to say, we were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The professionalism and seamless organization of Jill Prince and her staff contributed to our unforgettable experience on our wedding day. The staff is friendly, attentive and the communication leading to the event was clear and timely, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish. The DJ Steve is an exceptional talent and a pleasure to work with. David the magician/mentalist was perfect and loved by all our guests. It is clear that Hal Prince Entertainment invests in both their people and show-cases exceptional talent. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier entertainment experience to hire Hal Prince Entertainment.

Great band for a dancing wedding!

We received SO MANY compliments from our guests about Jay and his band and how great the music was that they played, how they got people to dance, how they never took a break, the list goes on!

We got super lucky with the weather, the property looked beautiful, the food was delicious, but Jay and his band made the party happen. They gave us amazing support and recommendations during the wedding planning process and also listened to what we wanted out of our wedding day. Our goal was to get everybody to DANCE and we definitely achieved that! :-)

The most incredible night!

Jay and his team were responsive and professional from the start! He spent time answering all our of questions and curating a list of songs curated specifically to us. Everyone couldn’t get over the quality of the 10 piece band. The band really made our wedding get to the next level!

11/10 Band

We got married in May 2023 and it's taken us almost a year to leave this review cause we're still recovering from the party of the century. It's impossible to convey how awesome Jay and his band are in writing. We got compliments all night (and for weeks and months after) on how amazing they were. Their energy levels were 11/10 and they kept everyone on their feet all night. Not only are they insanely talented and fun but they also didn't blink an eye at some of our rather unconventional song choices (like Intro by The XX and Happy If You're Happy by Matt and Kim). On top of being the best they're also all super nice folks. We can't recommend them enough!
