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!

UNBELIEVABLE. This is the best band we've ever heard at a wedding. With our wedding being on News Years Eve, they kept the music going right up until the ball drop and counted down with us, while also keeping the party going until 1 a.m. They are highly energetic, and play great set list from the 60's all the way up to today's music. What a crowd pleaser!

I can't recommend Nik Entertainment enough! We were planning our wedding from out of town so it was hard for us to see a band in person prior to reserving them for our wedding. We never saw Nik Lite before we selected them to perform at our wedding and that made me a little nervous at first. However, I couldn't have asked for a better band or have been more pleased with the results. Nik Entertainment made every step of the planning processes easy. They were extremely responses and had great answers to all of my questions. When the wedding came, the band exceeded my expectations, my now husband's expectations as well as our parents (who are not always the easiest to please). We still continue to get compliments from our guests on how great the band was and they had us up on our feet the whole night. Thank you for playing a part and helping our wedding be unforgettable!!

My husband and I chose Nik Lite for our wedding and it was a fantastic choice. We were able to go see the band play before we made our decision. After we signed the contract, Nik worked with us to make sure everything was the way we wanted it for our big day. We went back and forth several times with Mark to make sure the playlist was perfect. He was very professional and helpful. We worked with Marty as our lead male vocalist and he made sure everything was set well before our wedding day so we didn't need to worry about anything on our day. After the dancing started, the dance floor was never empty. Even during their break, when the sound guy played music everyone stayed on the floor. They were a big part of making our wedding reception a fantastic party. Guests are still talking about them a month later! Chose Nik for a great time!

We booked Nik Lite for my daughter's wedding. From the start of the process to the event, they were professional, responded to questions and requests and easy to work with. One of the potential logistic headaches planning an event with so many moving parts is getting quick answers - Nik was the best!

The event came off without a hitch, people were on the dance floor all night. The singers were phenomenal and high energy. All the guests had a great time. My daughter's quote "I may be biased but I think that's the best wedding reception I've ever been to".

Book them and rest assured of a great time!

Nik Lite did a great job at our wedding and kept everyone dancing all night long! They even were a "DJ" for us during our ceremony when we used mp3 music which is above and beyond what they normal do. The only negative was they took an extra long break, so just be careful in your itinerary to look it over the timing.

We had Nik Lite at our wedding, and they were phenomenal!! Mark was great to work with during the planning process, and the band was fantastic!! We were able to have a say in the songs that would be played, and could see the entire playlist and make any changes. All of our guests commented on how great the band was and people were on the dance for the whole night! They played a range of music that all of our guests loved!!
