Ryan Sent on 11/07/2019Fantastic!
We booked The District from Elan Artists for our wedding even before they had a big show. As the groom, the music/band was my main concern and they rocked it. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish. We even asked them to perform our first dance with a twist to the original and now we like their version better! Couldn't recommend them more. -

The District performed at our wedding and they were fantastic. I'd highly recommend working with Elan Artists and particularly The District! -

Allison Sent on 10/18/2019I've never heard more compliments on a wedding band
Oh my gosh was Ground Control AMAZING. I don't think there was one person at the wedding who wasn't up and dancing for the majority of the evening. Ground Control has incredible range, killing every song from Pop to Rap to R&B to Rock to Oldies and everything in between. They were incredibly professional and their manager was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. -

Jaime Sent on 10/02/2018Nation was amazing!!!! Working with Karla (bandleader) and Gretchen (group coordinator) was a completely seamless process. I loved all their recommendations. First dance songs and special requests were executed perfectly. The kept the party going all night long and played the best music. Someone said throughout the night that they were in awe over the age range of people on the dance floor. It was truly super special. I can’t wait to attend another Nation wedding one day as a guest. Love you guys!! -

Kate Sent on 02/04/2018Working with Elan Artists, specifically, the band Nation, was an amazing choice for our wedding. We were hosting a brunch wedding and weren't interested in a Saturday night dance party. The combinations of music that Gretchen put together for us were perfect. We were able to have three different experiences: the ceremony, cocktails and the reception, mixing and matching the band members in different ways.
Working with Gretchen and Karla was easy, flexible and enjoyable. They were open to learning new songs and really pulled out all of the stops when we asked if they would learn and accompany my father-in-law (a pianist) to play our first dance. It was incredibly special for us and our guests. After the first dance, they read the room and provided exactly what our guests wanted to hear. We loved working with Nation and would recommend them without hesitation for an event!
Also, Luke is a true highlight! I had seen him play another event before and was eager to figure out a way to include him in our day. How lucky were we to get him as part of Nation and highlight him throughout the cocktail hour.

Meghan Sent on 07/10/2015This review is more for our band, Nation, than Elan Artists (who were wonderful to work with, don't get me wrong). But this band - wow. The number one thing people comment on about our wedding is our band. They were, in a word, AMAZING - the song choices were on point, their energy was off the charts, and they were singing for almost the entire reception (even during dinner - no recorded CD tracks here). I would recommend them time and again - our dance floor was packed the entire night! -

Kate Sent on 06/23/2015Where do I begin?! This is the BEST band you can ever dream of!
We booked Rhythm Collective (led by Daniel from Elan Artists) before we booked our venue! We actually saw them at a friends wedding a few years ago and knew we would use them even before we were engaged! They had great energy, sounded awesome, and had a great song list.
When we searched for bands luckily they were available for our wedding date and things were set in motion. Daniel is great at reading the crowd and we opted for non stop play which is worth the price for this group of talented musicians and singers! Not only did they learn songs and stuck to our play/don't play list, they were even gracious enough to allow my father to to play with his own band up on stage as a surprise for my husband and I.
Wow so magical! We all just had a fantastic dance party. Highly recommend this group and Daniel is a pleasure to work with, give them a call because they book fast!
Thank you Rhythm Collective! -

Brianna Sent on 10/31/2012My spouse and I got married at West Point last year. We knew it would be a difficult wedding to plan, since we decided to have a 1940's-themed wedding complete with a big band. Our plan was to hire a band that could start playing music from the 1940's, and then transition forward by decade all the way to popular hits from this year. Believe me, not many groups can do this.
Weddings are complicated events, and the band leader has a critical role. Not just for delivering amazing music, but also as the master of ceremonies for the reception. I did an Internet search for wedding bands in NYC, and made a list with over 80 bands on it. I listened to sample songs and narrowed the list. I personally interviewed band leaders.
From the moment I first spoke with Eric Nicolas, I knew my guests would love him. He has a fantastic personality that comes across whether he is playing music or speaking to the audience. He listened carefully as I described our vision for the reception, and then he filled in every gap that I hadn't thought of. He made incredibly helpful suggestions when I wasn't certain. We planned the entire wedding in two phone calls and a handful of emails. He worked with me on the budget and we were able to afford a 12-piece band.
On the wedding day, Eric Nicolas and One Love were amazing. They setup on their own by working directly with the reception hall coordinator. We had nothing to worry about. Eric Nicolas and One Love made the extra effort and dressed in 1940's attire just for us! They looked great. My guests loved the music so much, they stormed the dance floor early, and we had to serve dinner an hour late because they weren't in their seats!
If you want the most amazing wedding band in New York, and if you want your wedding to be wonderful, I strongly recommend that you hire Eric Nicolas and One Love. If you want your guests to stay on the dance floor all night, call Eric Nicolas and One Love. -

Erica Sent on 06/01/2011The Source was awesome! Our guests are still raving about how amazing they sounded! We had an extended dance set that had the dance floor completely full for 2 hours! Plus, they knew all of the Jewish music we needed for the Hora and Mezinka. We couldn't have been happier with them! -

Andrea Sent on 11/07/2009The Source Band (who I booked through Elan Artists) was awesome: http://www.elanartists.com/source_site/source.html They are talented - all the members of the band play instruments and sing - and had a great range of music capabilities. They kept the energy high and MCd the event well. My only criticism is that they did an instrumental horah that was way too long - it would have been better had they cut it shorter and learned the words.
