DJ Boomer Rocks

I've known Bill Messinetti as a talented drummer for over 30 years. More recently he has expanded his repertoire to DJing. I contacted Bill in October, 2023 to consider DJing for my son's February,2024 wedding reception in upstate NY. He gladly accepted and promptly contacted my son and his fiance to get them thinking about what music selections they might choose. He was accessible, informative and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding.
On the wedding day he was punctual, calm, friendly and very professional. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and the dance floor was hopping all night. Bill really 'read the crowd' well and also accommodated spur of the moment musical requests of our guests.

Truly the BEST wedding band!!

Hiring Bill and his NY Orchestra band The Vibe was one of the best decisions I made in planning my daughter's wedding. Not only is Bill knowledgeable and personable, he is so easy to talk to that he makes you feel like you are working with a friend. When we first spoke he told me one of his talents he is most known for is 'reading the crowd' and knowing what music to play and when. He was 100% accurate about that! We did not give him a playlist and he just instinctively knew what songs to play as the night went on. Less than a half hour into the reception guests kept coming up to me and my husband telling us how INCREDIBLE the band is. There was honestly not one moment (other than when guests were eating their entree) that the entire dance floor wasn't packed. I am still getting texts and emails from our friends and family about how awesome the band was. They truly made the wedding unforgettable and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. If you want an amazing wedding band hire Bill and his NY Orchestra band The Vibe, you will NOT be disappointed!!
