AMAZING wedding, thanks to NY Jukebox!
Just have to say from the start that our day would definitely not have been nearly as much fun without NY Jukebox. They made the day feel like such an amazing, fun, and high-end event with the most talented and professional musicians and singers I've ever seen at a wedding. If this review sounds really over the top it's because they are really that good and I think worth every penny. From the beginning of wedding planning I was dreading finding the right entertainment. For some reason that just seemed really daunting. We planned a medium size wedding with about 70-75 guests. I didn't feel like hiring only a DJ was right for us to get a good energy level in the room with a smaller group, but I was nervous about finding a band with the right sound too.
From the first conversation, Vinny was SO responsive and excited about our wedding. Vinny invited us to go see them play live at a local bar in NYC and it was SO MUCH FUN. I got to meet Vinny and Pam and they're just the absolute nicest people and that's really what I wanted to surround myself with working on our wedding. Also the sound and vibes in the crowd was even more amazing then on video. So we chose NY Jukebox for our wedding and I'm soooo happy we did! The process was so smooth working together from start to finish. Even during the stressful times of planning, when I'd talk to Vinny he'd remind me what a fun day it was going to be and that they were so excited and it always made me feel a little better and remember it was going to be a really special day! I really can't say enough about how nice it is to have a vendor who you feel cares as much about your day as you do.
We asked them to perform both at our cocktail hour and reception. For the cocktail hour they did guitar and saxophone playing jazz and bossa nova which created a really nice chill but upscale environment for people to hang out and chat with each other. For the reception we had the DJ, saxophone, guitar, and two vocalists. Again, it was just so. much. fun. The sound of all the musicians and DJ is just so good, energetic, and exciting. Their song list has a wide variety and caters to everybody. All generations will feel included. They clearly know how to get the volume right for the space (ours was a small ish venue), it was never so loud that people couldn't still talk and catch up with each other at their tables but just loud enough to have people get excited to dance.
Even though we have some more reserved family members, I still noticed them up and dancing. Our friends were literally up and dancing until the very last song when the reception ended, we had such an amazing night. I will recommend NY Jukebox to anyone! In fact many of our guests have already asked about them for people they know who are wedding planning. Thank you guys for everything!!
