All around amazing experience. From working with Ray and Tom and getting all the details ironed out, to the amazing musicians and staff that made our day flawless, we'd recommend Variety to anyone and everyone. Want to give a special shoutout to all those involved: Sal our MC and Christian our DJ - our guests have not stopped telling us how much they enjoyed these two. They were so professional and easy to work with and really just took our wedding to the next level. We also had Vinny and Paul at our ceremony, playing the piano and violin respectively. And Ed and Nick at our cocktail hour. The musicians were so great and so kind. We were so happy we added all four of them to our day. The music was perfect. With our wedding day being the most important day of our lives thus far it was nice working with a company that respected that and enhanced the overall experience.

Variety Music is awesome. After speaking with Ray on the phone back in 2021 for our 2022 wedding, I knew right away that they would be perfect. We wanted specific plays/do not plays and they completely understood that. Throughout the wedding planning process, Ray or Tom were always available via e-mail/phone. They were very prompt in answering and that’s always key when you are planning a wedding. We had the steel pan drummer/percussionist Howie and were able to add percussion to our reception with no issues. We were also able to change things last minute and everything was easy with no mistakes made whatsoever. I came in to our meeting before the wedding with a long play list and “ do not playlist”. I was worried about being judged for my craziness, but Ray was totally cool with it . When I called a few days later to talk to Tom to add a dance , based on our conversation, I could tell he actually went through the playlists and didn’t just brush it off. That meant a lot. He was also really enthusiastic about the 90s stuff we wanted played, and that just made me confident, when everything else about the wedding made me so nervous, that they were going to do a fine job. As for the day of the wedding, it was perfect. All the songs I gave them for the ceremony and reception were played with no error. Ray and Tom came up to me and double checked with me on everything. People were on the dance floor all night, and if they weren’t on the dance floor, they were at the photo booth (also from variety ) , who gives you a scrapbook to take home with the pictures (hilarious alternative to a guest book) and gives you the files via e-mail (still laughing at these pictures nearly 2 weeks later). Ray was an excellent MC who the crowd adored and he was very interactive. He suggested a game which I never thought to do but it was so fun to watch and I really enjoyed it. Tom crushed it as the DJ. I could tell he loves his job and is very passionate about what he does. They all are really. Everyone was dancing, singing, sweating, including me. Our voices were gone from singing. Howie was such a vibe. I didn’t get to see him playing the steel pan at the cocktail hour, but he was amazing on drums and let us as well as my little niece and my uncle play drums too. The photo booth attendant was very friendly as well. Basically, if you LOVE music and the DJ is the most important vendor at your wedding, RUN to book Variety. I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for wedding entertainment.

We hired Variety on a referral and I'm SO glad we did! We would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event. Ray was so easy to work with and responsive, as we navigated our COVID wedding date move and up to the fine details of including songs that have great meaning in my family. Aaron our MC and Howie our drummer were the LIFE of our party- and our guests just had the very best time. Easiest choice for any long island wedding.
