Wedding Music Bands in Northern New Jersey

We had seen the the Counterfeiters play several times at Ulysses on Stone Street and knew we wanted them to play at our wedding. They absolutely crushed it. They can MC an event like no other. What impressed everyone the most is how they cater to all audiences and age demographics. There were 70+ year old people out on the dance floor loving the music as much as the younger crowd. If the Counterfeiters played at every wedding, I'd be in heaven!

They played great music for our wedding. One thing though is they screwed up one of my couples names in the bridal party, we literally went over it right before that. He did mispronounce there names but introduced them as a couple that had just walked out 3 couples before them.

Our experience with The Heartbeat Dance Band was outstanding. The music was excellent, and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the band’s energy and performance. Lawrence did a great job as MC, adjusting smoothly when our schedule shifted and checking in with us regularly. He was both fun and professional throughout. Liz was also wonderful to work with. She stood out from other band managers during the selection process with your organization, responsiveness, and professionalism. You made us feel comfortable throughout the entire planning and payment process.

The Wedding Crashers made our daughter’s wedding magical and the talk of the town. Damien and his band members got the crowd dancing from the first song, and the dancing never stopped. Their choice of songs was perfect! There is absolutely nothing like having a live band at your affair. They Wedding Crashers are extremely professional, talented, energetic and are an asset to have at any function. We are very grateful to Damien and the members of The Wedding Crashers and would very highly recommend them for your next affair!

Booking Rich Bascomb & Phase One for our wedding was the best decision we could've made! Communication leading up to the event was phenomenal, and Rich understood our taste to a tee! Our dance floor was packed ALL night and our guests couldn't stop raving about how electric the band was! From the singers and sax integrating into the dance floor, to allowing a special song with my cousin on the mic, Phase One set the tone! If you're looking for a wedding band that can play the classics like no other and keep your dance floor rocking all night, look no further!

We had high expectations for The Uptown Getdowns having been to a rehearsal of theirs, and they exceeded all of our expectations. All of our guests commented on how great they were and everyone spent the whole night dancing. We had a great wedding and that was in large due to Steve and the Band. We would recommend them for any occasion. Thanks you all again for making our day so special with your talent. Shane and Christine

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Louis Pettinelli Entertainment! I requested a violin and piano duo for our wedding. They were absolutely incredible and brought such a beautiful atmosphere and ambiance to our intimate wedding. From the moment they started playing, the music set the perfect tone for the entire evening — elegant, romantic, and full of warmth. One of the most special moments was our first dance. I had requested a specific song that meant a lot to my husband, and they played it perfectly. It was so emotional and heartfelt — they truly made that moment magical. Every time I look back at our photos, I can still feel the love and beauty their music added to that memory. They were professional, talented, and a joy to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend a violin and piano pair to any future couple looking to elevate their wedding day with live music that feels personal and unforgettable. Thank you again for making our day so special!

We were looking for a high energy band to that would make our wedding amazing and these guys delivered. Their musicianship was exceptional. They are amazing performers the vocals were fantastic. You could feel it. This is not your average wedding band and after working with Z-Music we were so happy that we did not go with a DJ. All of our quests had so much fun and told us how great this band was. They accommodated all of our song requests no matter how unique and my in-laws were so pleased with the music that captured their time. These guys really took our party to a whole other dimension and were so easy to deal with. Love these guys and thank you Z-Music Experiences.

Excel Live was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment the music started, the energy in the room was unreal. The combination of DJ, live musicians, and MC kept the night flowing perfectly — our dance floor was packed from start to finish. Every transition was seamless, and they completely nailed the vibe we were going for: classy, fun, and unforgettable. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the sax and violin were. The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making the night perfect for us. If you want a wedding that feels like a concert and a party all in one, Excel Live is the only choice!
