Great Musicians!

Skylark played live music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and we also used them as our reception DJ.

Planning a wedding, even a small one like ours, can be stressful, but Skylark made the process so easy.Leading up to our wedding they were super helpful, communicative and responsive, making sure that we were prepared.

They played our ceremony and recession songs beautifully, and even helped us figure out the best point in the song to start walking down the aisle.

The live cocktail hour music was also great: it was tasteful, classy, fun and incorporated our song requests.

After cocktail hour Justin stuck around and Dj’ed the wedding, he did a great job of matching the vibe of the crowd - even though we had a small intimate wedding with no dance floor, many people got out and started dancing!

Would highly recommend working with Skylark - they make the process fun and easy and their love and knowledge of music truly shows!

Amazing music duo

One of the best decisions we made was hiring Skylark to play at our wedding. We wanted live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour but had a diverse range of music for the reception (reggaeton, pop, rock, salsa, etc.) that we felt would best be performed by a DJ. All of the music exceeded our expectations and Justin was so easy to work with. Everyone had a blast and all of the music flowed so well. Would absolutely recommend this group to anyone!

The BEST Choice for Our Wedding Music!

Justin & Jesse were amazing! We got married this past October at Blooming Hill Farm, and they made our wedding so special. We had Justin & Jesse play live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then Justin DJ’ed our reception. Right from the start, Justin was incredibly easy to work and communicate with. We didn’t have a hyper-specific vision for our music and Justin was great at making recommendations but also allowing us to personalize things and make it more us. On the day of, they were punctual and so flexible - I think I sent my cut-off times for the first and parent dances the morning of the wedding! We got so many compliments on the live music, our guests were truly blown away by how talented they were. We had a very small wedding (~20 people) and Justin was great at reading the mood on the dance floor. Our guests danced all night long! Can’t recommend these guys enough!
