Awesome musicians to make your wedding special

Peter was very attentive, flexible, and professional throughout the preparation process. The band and their music - amazing. One of our friends chose them for their wedding since they loved the band so much from our wedding. Highly recommended!

At our wedding we couldn't afford the full band, so Peter reached out and offered to be the DJ. I met him once before the wedding in person and had several phone conversations. He's very organized and has a streamlined process for choosing music. He also got a great live guitar player for our ceremony. Very affordable, can't say enough good things!

Wonderful DJ (Peter) was hired for our wedding, and I can't say enough good things! Really nailed our taste in music from the conversations we had, and was professional and courteous to all the guests. Everyone loved him, and raved about the music.

Don't hesitate, these guys are pros!! You won't regret it!!

Congratulations - you've found your wedding band! We're trying to think of another party we can host just so we can book the Rhythm Dogs again. Believe us - this is the music that your guests want to dance to!

Peter was an absolute gem to work with as we planned what we felt was the most important piece of our wedding - the music! We had numerous discussions with Peter and a meeting with him at the venue about song selection and the order and flow of the reception. We were very grateful for Peter's expertise and advice about what schedule would work best. The band was flexible with us as we squished in a much-desired horns section into our smaller sized dance floor. Most importantly, the band put on an amazing show for us and our guests. It's very evident that this is an experienced band who loves what they do and it's clear their priority is to keep the party going. We danced non-stop, even through the band breaks during which Peter DJ'ed.

Nearly all of our guests made a point to let us know how fabulous the band was - I wouldn't be surprised if another of our friend's wedding also featured the Rhythm Dogs!

The Rhythm Dogs made our wedding so special. Everyone commented on how awesome the band was; they honestly made the night. Our guests (and we) didn't want to leave the dance floor!

The Rhythm Dogs also played every song that I requested, including those that weren't on their set list. They were incredibly professional, fun and responsive. I can't recommend them enough!

A good friend recommended that we use Pete as our wedding DJ, and we're so happy we did! Not only is he highly in-touch with what will make people get on the dance floor, but he is also extremely easy to work with and a genuinely nice guy. We wanted to "update" several wedding traditions in our own style (e.g., invite everyone to join us during our first dance) and Pete listened to what we were looking for and made the evening go flawlessly. We had a lot of questions throughout the planning process, and he was responsive and patient with all of our emails, and took additional time to meet with us in person. He regularly DJs in NYC on weekends and has every song you could ever want at his fingertips. He made our wedding upbeat, fun and high energy -- just what we wanted. We would use him again in a heartbeat!!

The Rhythm Dogs were so awesome!!!! Everybody from my wedding got up to dance and were commenting all through the night how much they were enjoying the music. They are extremely professional and come up with plans that can meet your budget. I would recommend them to anyone!!! So excellent!!!!

We had a wonderful experience working with Rhythm Dogs. Pete DJ'd our party and was incredibly easy to communicate with about all our wishes. He was also very proactive about sorting out any details he had questions about regarding the party or the music. We felt very taken care of. And the end result was great.

Finally, in addition, to providing DJ services, Pete and his team assisted in all the technical-sound needs throughout the day which was a great help to make sure that everything went seamlessly.

I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for music for their party.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
