The NY Fusion rocks (literally and figuratively)! Chris and the band are so talented and provided awesome entertainment from start to finish for an event my family recently threw at the Nyack Seaport. Their song selections were totally spot on for every moment, and they did a wonderful job of playing to the occasion. Everyone had so much fun, and the compliments about the band haven’t stopped pouring in. They truly made the night spectacular, and I wish we could redo it all over again! I highly recommend Flipside to anyone in the market, and I hope to get the chance to hear them play again.

Chris and his team did an outstanding job at my daughters wedding on 10/13/2019 at Brotherhood Winery. Chris had all of our guests up and dancing through out the entire wedding. The music selection was perfect. I would recommend Flipside Entertainment.
Thank you Flipside

We HIGHLY recommend FLIPSIDE entertainment.
BEST WEDDING EVER! We HIGHLY recommend FLIPSIDE entertainment. If you are in need of top-class entertainment for your wedding then look no further. We give Chris and his crew a glowing 5 stars. Like many others, we spent a lot of time and energy analyzing and deliberating over our wedding reception options. One thing we agreed on from the onset was that perhaps the most important detail, the one guests will remember, is if they had fun. Therefore, we put a good amount of research into finding stand-out entertainment. At the suggestion of a friend, we set up an appointment with Chris Aimi of Flipside Entertainment. Within minutes of speaking with Chris we both realized that he was an experienced professional who was at the forefront of his industry. Everything was presented to us in a sleek, well organized, and technologically adept manner. It was clear that he was a master of his craft and knew exactly what he was doing. He listened to our vision and gave us helpful suggestions based on his experience. One concern we mentioned was regarding volume. We have been to weddings where the music overpowered the event and people were unable to converse. This was especially a concern for our older and valued guests who struggle to hear. We were really impressed with Chris’ solution: he uses a device to test the acoustics of the venue and then uses that information to regulate the sound. Chris is also very personable. Our communications together felt less like weighing options with a service professional and more like conversations with a friend who works in the industry. After some debate we selected a NY Fusion package which combines a DJ with live musicians; and we are so glad we did. This is a truly unique ensemble that combines the benefits of having both a DJ and live musicians. For example, we were able to play certain original tracks to maintain their authenticity like, “I can’t help falling in love with you” by Elvis Presley while other sets combined the DJ and live music that gave the overall feel of a full band. The musicians do not play over the DJ but rather various instrumental and/or vocal portions are removed from the tracks by Chris’ team in studio and are substituted with live performers. The sets were phenomenal and the addition of live musicians added the extra pop we were looking for to truly wow our guests. We are so happy that we chose Flipside Entertainment and a NY Fusion package and highly recommend it. Countless guests have told us that our wedding was the best they had ever attended. Everyone commented on how much fun they had and how talented the entertainers were. The dance floor was always full and we had the time of our lives.

Fun & Festive Atmosphere!
Leading up to the wedding, Chris was responsive and professional before we even signed on as clients. He was available for quick chats and check ins and provided a portal where we could track our song ideas, especially for the formalities.
At the event, he worked very well with the venue staff to coordinate the music during ceremony, meals, everything.
He was flexible throughout the night, as we decided to include breaks for cake cutting, photos, etc and he obliged with great music transitions.
We let him know our guests like to party, and he and DJ Michael Christopher teamed up to host an epic dance celebration!
The music did not leave anyone excluded, and many guests told us it was the most fun they've had at a wedding.
5 stars, definitely recommend!

10/10 Flipside was AMAZING!!! Our guests who don’t dance, were dancing! They are a fusion band, and were able to play both Spanish and English music for us and meshed the two perfectly! During dinner, they put on a show and had each performer solo! We didn’t even know they were going to do this. It was amazing and kept the party alive! Zero complaints!

A spectacular performance for our central park boathouse wedding
We hired flipside for our July wedding at the central park boathouse this year (2018). My husband and I have been to more than 20 weddings in New York City in the past two years and they are the best I have ever experienced. And we are not just biased because its our wedding, a lot of our friends, wedding planner , event staff could not stop describing how amazing the band was. They were beyond incredible from start to end. Chris was very responsive and professional and also very patient and calming throughout a hectic and nerve-wrecking process.
The crew was amazing. The vocalist was sooo good and the guys doing the percussions/drums were in the crowd and got everyone on their feet dancing the whole time. My biggest wow moment was the violinist, who played American Boy by Estelle. It was a whole different level of awesomeness. My only regret is not using them for the ceremony/cocktail hour..

We searched high and low for a live music vendor that wouldn't break the bank for our 7/7/18 wedding. We are so happy we found Flipside and NYFusion. Our guest kept coming up to us and telling us how great the band/DJ was all night long. They not only kept the party rocking all night long but were organized and took the time to help plan the entertainment experience we wanted. The day of the wedding all that was left to do was dance! Talented musicians that I would recommend for any couple who wants to blow their guests away! - Stacey & Jason

Our wedding was May 12th at Brotherhood winery. Two weeks later and people are still talking about our entertainment. It was without a doubt the best choice we could have made. We did the NY Fusion and it was worth every penny. The band was unbelievably talented and the dance floor was packed. My wedding was a blur but what I did notice was the band looked like they were having fun too- it didn't look like work to them and watching them have a good time made it even more special. Chris Aimi made everything go smoothly from the initial booking, to the last song. We are so grateful for you all. Thank you!

Musics for all generations and great for dancing. I would highly recommend!

Chris is a good friend of ours for many years. Having a major life celebration such as a wedding can be a daunting and stressful ordeal but Chris and his team (Eddy, Ethan, and Matty) made the entertainment portion of the day one to remember. Matty played guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a phenomenal job of entertaining our family and friends. I would highly recommend to anyone that they use matty. He added another element to the party and we couldn't be happier that Chris recommended we do this.
Ethan, as a singer, and as an MC could have not been more professional, upbeat, and really kept the crowd going.
Eddy, the DJ, played music in both English and Spanish and kept the audience engaged the entire night.
I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome of our special day, and Chris Aimi and Flipside Entertainment had a big part in that.
Thanks guys!

This is the second time we have used Flipside for a B'nai Mitzvah. Chris and his team do an awesome job. Chris is really helpful with the pre-event decisions about what makes the most sense and working out the timing of the event. On the day of the event, his team is on time and ready to go. Not only are they very professional but a lot of fun and very good natured. We really enjoyed them and they did a great job of keeping everyone entertained. We highly recommend Chris and his team.

We had the best DJ/MC at our wedding. Chris is very professional including his staffs. He's very understanding and he will work with you to make sure you're completely happy on your big day. He is not like the other vendors who would pressure you. He wants you to be happy and he will provide you with the best work. Anyone seeking to have everyone on the dance floor, you don't need to waste your time looking around, just pick Flipside entertainment and events and you will be glad you did. My boss from my job told me she wished she could take the DJ home to her house. This is how much they enjoyed themselves. They are the best in town. Book him and you won't be sorry. I'm so glad I did because he did a wonderful job at my wedding. Great job and well done.

I want to start off by telling all the newly engaged couples not to stress too much over the venue. Yes, it is an important part of your big day, and I don't want to act like it's not, but when you think about it, the entertainment aspect is far more important. The majority of the people I talk to mention the music and entertainment part of a wedding before anything else when giving a description, because let's face it, if people aren't out on the dance floor it is not a good time!!
My husband and I could not be more happy with our decision to have FlipSide Entertainment do our wedding. We went with them because they came highly recommended in our county and every venue we looked at mentioned their name...and now we know why. My cousin also used them for her wedding in October, and we didn't even realize this until after we already booked them. Our wedding was just two weeks ago and we still have people raving about the entertainment. My parents' friends can't stop talking about the music and how great the band was. It's really a great feeling to have such good feedback about our wedding and having people want to know the names of the people we used for our DJ/band because it was the best they had experienced at a wedding. The dance floor was FULL the entire time, which still makes me smile from ear to ear. Toward the end of the night my husband and I wanted to stop taking pictures outside because the dance floor was where we wanted to be as well.
We really truly recommend using FlipSide Entertainment at your event because you will be nothing short of feeling greatly fulfilled and satisfied with your decision. We only wish our wedding was eight hours instead of five, so that we could have enjoyed it for even longer!! We are forever grateful to Chris and his crew for making our day the best day ever, and a wedding that will be talked about for a long time to come!!!

I hired Flipside Entertainment for my daughter's Sweet 16 party. The process was smooth and easy from the start. Chris is extremely knowledgeable about his business. After our initial discussion, he knew exactly what I needed and created a package that was perfect for the party. We rented a photo station, and added a photographer for a photo shoot before the event, and for taking pictures during the event. The photo station was a total hit! All of our guests enjoyed being photographed and using fun props. In addition, the photographer was personable and humorous. His demeanor made our guests feel welcome, and encouraged them to return to take more pictures as the night progressed. At the end of the evening, my guests informed me that they appreciated walking away with photos in frames as a party favor, rather than having an item they would eventually throw away.
Most importantly, when I received the photos a few days later, I was blown away by the amazing shots the photographer had taken before and during the event. Every special moment was captured by his lens, and every shot was worthy of being framed. Additionally, I received digital copies of every "crazy" photo taken in the photo station, so I was able to forward them to my guests, which they appreciated.
Hiring Flipside Entertainment for my daughter's special night was the best decision I made, and it was absolutely well worth every penny spent. I highly recommend using them for your party needs. I know I will be calling to book them again in the future.

We recently used Flipside Entertainment and the Fusion package at our wedding three weeks ago. Chris and his team were truly amazing from the first day we met him. Everything we requested was done for us, timely and professionally. Everyone was so nice and made sure the entire crowd was up dancing for the whole wedding!! Our wedding day was perfect and it would not be what it was without Flipside Entertainment. I would HIGHLY recommend Flipside and especially the fusion package if you want your guests to be talking about the music at your wedding for years to come. You will not be disappointed!!
