Supreme Professionalism and Talent

Probably the highlight of our wedding. The Collective is a supremely talented group with great chemistry and unbelievable energy. MJ (the lead singer) and her group were all so gracious and kind. They had every single guest on the dance floor. Leading up to our wedding, Ilana from On the Move scheduled multiple calls with us and the band to ensure they new our music tastes and what vibes we wanted at different parts of the night. We couldn't be happier with their performance and working with them was an absolute breeze. "Best Wedding Band Ever" is something we are hearing a lot of from our guests.

On the moves the collective rocked our world!

When planning our big day, we reviewed so many vendors but deciding on the entertainment was pretty easy once we heard The Collective in OTM’s Cabaret Room. Not only were we in awe from the moment we saw them, but we knew they’d be the perfect addition to our wedding day. The talent they offered was entirely unmatched from the musicians to the vocalists, everyone was absolutely spectacular. We were very excited to hear them perform all our favorite songs and dance along with us and all our guests. We knew they’d put on a show, but didn’t expect the performance of a lifetime… we’re still on cloud 9 weeks later. We couldn’t have asked for a better group, even our guests are still calling/texting us to rave about The Collective especially the trumpet player :) We hope we get to see them again soon and will certainly consider them for future events. We highly recommend The Collective for your wedding or any event if you’re looking for a night and performance to remember.

The New Millennials were THE BEST!

We booked The New Millennials from On the Move Entertainment after hearing them at a showcase in New York. They were absolutely amazing, looked gorgeous and made sure our guests all had the absolute best night of their lives! The singers were on the dance floor and interacting with our guests which we loved and they made sure to keep the flow of the night going smoothly. Every member of the band is beyond talented, we were told this band was “the best” that’s ever performed at our venue. Could agree more, highly recommend!!

Absolutely Amazing! Should definitely book them!

On the Move Entertainment was absolutely amazing. Not only did they roll with ups and downs of rescheduling, but prioritized making us feel comfortable and confident in their company. We booked them over a year in advance and they did not disappoint. Due to current circumstances we were not able to attend any live showcases but watched their videos and spoke to Darren and Scott who were great. Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect they took our playlist into account but also read the vibe of the crowd to get the party going. EVERYONE commented on how amazing the band was- guests of ours were taking videos throughout the night. We were in awe of the voices of the singers and musical talent of everyone in the band. We cannot recommend them enough. We were overjoyed and grateful that they brought some sort of normal back during a time that's been so uncertain.

The best!!!!

We had the Troy Curtis Band at our wedding in September and I cannot stress enough how out of this world they were!!!! Picking a band can be so stressful since people often don’t know what they’re paying for- but from the time that we saw TCB perform in their cabaret space, we had our hearts set and they did not disappoint!! Gabe was a pleasure to work with and always made sure to periodically check in with us before the wedding day to go over logistics. Troy and the band were not only talented but fun and lively, keeping the dance floor completely packed the entire night! They were able to perform such a wide range of music including Sinatra, oldies, disco, rock, rap, and top 40. We gave them some song suggestions but for the most part put our trust in them to judge the crowd and base their song choices off of the energy- and they did not disappoint. Guests were approaching Troy for business cards all night and people are still telling us that this was the best band they have ever experienced at a wedding ! Troy Curtis Band will be the best decision you make!!

Magical from start to finish, not your average wedding band - they know what to do and when and they do it better than anyone else!

The New Millennial's set the tone (quite literally) for a magical evening, start to finish. Finding a show-stopping band was the #1 priority for us when we started planning for our wedding, and trust me, we saw just about every band in the NY Metro area. As soon as we saw TNM we knew we had to go with them— their energy is amazing, and there just aren't many, if any, bands who can play the full range of older wedding classics just as well as the newest dance hits and vice versa. We have not stopped hearing from our guests about how they are the best band they've heard.

Most importantly, Darren and Gabe were a pleasure to work with and really got to know you so that the music for the evening had your stamp as a couple and didn't feel in the slightest bit like your average wedding run through. They know what to do and when (listen to them!). From moving ceremony music, cocktails to "hotline bling" on the sax and tracks, incredible vocals for dinner, to a literal nonstop dance party reception that felt like you were at a concert, our guests (some of whom are touring musicians) couldn't stop talking about how impressive they were. Go with them and they will blow your expectations away!

Our wedding was a smashing success, and much of that had to do with the amazing quality and variety of the music provided by On the Move. Each musician was extremely accomplished, and, together, they were perfection. Everyone at the reception, ranging in age from nine months to 81 years, was dancing! We worked with Dani DeSantis, sales manager and superb vocalist, and Gabe Otero, Music Director, and they put together a wonderful string and flute trio for our 18th Century Chapel ceremony; a jazz combo for cocktail hour; and the nine-piece, knock-your-socks off The New Millennials band for the reception. What a blast! Dani and Gabe are consummate professionals, who made planning the music for the wedding easy and fun. They helped us put together a play list that spanned 8 decades, which kept everyone of every age on the dance floor. The band was excellent at “reading the crowd”, knowing when to play what, and keep everyone engaged. Best of all, the dancing went on much later than we thought it would—and the band played on, loving it as much as we did! We put a great deal of faith and trust in their ability to do this, and we were very glad we did! All the On the Move business cards that were placed near the bandstand were taken by our guests by the end of the evening. Two of them have already asked for contact information. Here is what some of them had to say::
“The overwhelming reason for this email is to say, ‘WOW’. What a first-class affair! I was absolutely blown away by how impressive the wedding was…The band was especially excellent, and we had a great time dancing.” "It was a beautiful event from venues to the fabulous music- in both chapel and at the reception.” “The band was awesome!” [from our 15-year-old niece]. We could not have been more pleased or had a better time at our own wedding, and much of that was due to On the Move.

As an event planner specializing in weddings, I have worked with countless bands and DJs for various events. In planning my own wedding, my husband and I knew we wanted an incredible band for our New Year's Eve wedding but needed a band that was adept not only in English, but in Spanish as well to help represent my husband's Dominican roots. We needed a band that had a wide repertoire to keep our diverse group on the dance floor all night as well as make the Spanish music feel just as special and authentic as the American music. I have worked with Darren professionally countless times and knew he was just the person to call... and he did not disappoint! Darren introduced us to Troy Curtis and The Millennials and we knew right away that they were a perfect fit. Darren and Troy's willingness to work with our specific needs, keep us in the loop for rehearsals and understand that we were not only throwing our wedding, but an incredible New Year's Eve party for our family and friends was above and beyond. Our guests still talk about how amazing the band was and compare their performance to a concert. Our dance floor was never empty and all of our guests felt comfortable, included and excited about the music being played. We cannot say enough about the band's energy, range, repertoire and incredible talent. Not to mention Darren and the On the Move team behind the scenes making sure no detail was overlooked. As an event planner, being able to take off my planning hat and actually be a bride was invaluable and I cannot thank them enough for giving me, my husband and our family and friends an absolutely unforgettable evening!

Winston's Crew Collective exceeded all of our expectations. When my fiance and I got engaged, the band was the most important aspect of the planning process for us - before we even locked down a venue, we were researching and meeting with bands. As soon as we watched WCC's video highlights, we knew we had to meet them. So we scheduled an appointment with Darren (Manager) and Dannis (lead singer) and within minutes we were sold. We had already met with 4 other large bands in the area and had been to few showcases, but the feeling we got from WCC was indescribable - Dannis was cool, confident and unbelievably talented. They listened to what we wanted and worked with us to help create a vision for the day. We booked them a little over a year out, but over the course of that year they were always available to answer any questions.

On the wedding day they rocked! They knew our tastes in music but also were incredible at reading the crowd and choosing songs they knew would keep the dance floor packed - which it was, all night long. They were total rock stars, our wedding was a month ago and our guests are still raving about them! Everyone keeps saying that they were the best band they had seen at any wedding or event - we are absolutely thrilled!
