Above and beyond our expectations!

We hired "Nik Lite" for our 200 guest, rustic wedding in the Finger Lakes. We were so happy with the service we received in the months leading up to our wedding, and were THRILLED with their energy and performance on the day-of. I didn't see half of our guests because I spent most of the night dancing (my husband was a much better diplomat, but was right there with me most of the time). We willingly spent hours going through their extensive playlist, creating lists for "must play," "ok - but not our favorites," and "do not play" (music is important to us). It was clear to us from the start that they took the time to learn our likes and dislikes. Later in the night, a guest requested a song that was on our "do not play" list, and they politely explained to this person that it wasn't gonna happen. In a nutshell: we loved Nik Lite and so did our guests. The owner of our wedding venue, who has borne witness to many wedding bands and DJs, was super impressed and told us he will be recommending Nik Entertainment to future couples. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wow- Just WOW!!!

We had Nik Lite at our wedding and they were simply incredible! Music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding for us, so we were willing to spend a little bit more. As expected, bands cost more than DJs, but I cannot overstate how worth it that extra cost is to have talented musicians reading your crowd and bringing live entertainment to the reception.

First, leading up to the day they were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns regarding day of specifics. They were helpful in turning songs into mp3s to be played for our first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son dance, and hit every song we requested and then some! Our speeches ran a bit long, which made dinner run a bit long, but they were accommodating in still starting on time and doing some lighter dinner music as people ate.

Now the dancing, reception time itself- our wedding went until midnight and it the dance floor was PACKED the entire time. People who weren't big dancers were even out there, and if they weren't they didn't want to leave because they were finding so much enjoyment from just watching/listening to the band. I even had a friend who's getting married next year ask me who they were and said "I normally hate bands at weddings, but they are incredible! They have everyone out on the dance floor!" It was like we were at a concert. They read the crowd perfectly and provided music that people at every age enjoyed. I can't tell you how many people afterwards were calling asking who our band was and commenting how amazingly fun it all was.

I cannot recommend them enough. They made all of our wedding music dreams come true!

Best wedding band ever!

Nik Lite is AMAZING! After listening to them at a friend's wedding, we hired them for our September 1 wedding. They were absolutely incredible!! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. Nik Lite played a variey of music that appealed to all our wedding guests from young to old. Angie was super helpful throughout the booking and planning process. Any question we had was responded to right away. The survey and interview questions were much appreciated because it helped them know our preferences and style. We HIGHLY recommend NikLite!
