    A great night with amazing energy!

    I had the pleasure of experiencing New York Edge 8.5 years ago at my own wedding, and recently, they performed at my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding. To say they were incredible would be an understatement!

    Rich and Shanti brought an unmatched level of energy, talent, and professionalism to both events. They had everyone on their feet, dancing and enjoying every moment. Their ability to read the crowd and choose the perfect songs ensured that the atmosphere was lively and entertaining throughout the night.

    What sets New York Edge apart is not just their musical skill but also their ability to engage with the audience and create a connection that enhances the overall experience. Rich and Shanti will walk onto the dance and interact with your guests. Their passion for music and creating memorable moments shines through in every performance.

    I would definitely recommend New York Edge to anyone looking for a top-notch musical experience for their special day. They made both weddings truly unforgettable, and I’m certain they will continue to do so for many more celebrations to come!

    Rich is amazing!

    Rich and his band just recently played at our wedding this April and they were beyond amazing! Rich is the nicest man and so easy to work with. He was able to incorporate some of our eclectic music requests seamlessly.

    Throughout the reception, Rich and his team really were amazing. They basically never stopped playing and were great at reading the room to pick the music. So many of my guests absolutely raved about the band—they bring such energy to the reception! I can’t recommend them enough!

    Look no further

    All I can say is WOW. Rich and the band were incredible for our wedding. They, without question, made it a memorable time that we will look back on with so much joy. They read the room perfectly and kept the music and mood flowing the entire night. People told us it was the best wedding they have ever been too and this band is the reason why.

    Thanks guys!
    Patrick and Jessica

    Fantastic party!

    NY Edge helped make our wedding spectacular. Rich was so easy to work with and made our planning a breeze. The energy of the band was amazing and our guests had so much fun! No one could stop talking about what a great party we threw and NY Edge was a big part of that! I highly recommend NY Edge!

    New York Edge is amazing!

    Rich and New York Edge were wonderful to work with. Rich was professional and personable in all of our exchanges leading up to the big day. He made sure we had the just-right song for each part of the ceremony. And then, when it was time for our guests to hit the dance floor, he and the band kept them up and dancing all night. I received so many compliments about New York Edge. I can't recommend them enough!

    Life of the party!

    Rich and the team were AMAZING!

    He helped us plan out what we wanted, answered all our questions, gave us ideas, and was really easy to work with leading up to our wedding. When the day finally came we didn't have to worry about anything. Rich was on top of the timeline, coordinating with our other vendors, and would check in with us to make sure we were having a great time.

    Our guests were dancing all night long and were having the time of their lives. The band came into the crowd, let us sing a few lines, and were the life of the party. Dozens of our guests came up to us at the end of the night and the morning after telling us that was by far the best wedding band they had ever seen in their life!

    Would hire them again in a heartbeat, they're worth every penny, 10/10!

    You will not regret hiring this band!!!

    Wow, wow, wow! Rich and New York Edge were absolutely incredible. The number one thing people said to me during and after the wedding was how amazing the band was. They are musically so gifted but even more important is their ability to read the crowd. They come out into the crowd and keep the energy high and know exactly the right songs to play without hardly any input from me. They were SO easy to work with and went above and beyond for us. They even learned two songs for our processional at my request. You have to hire this band! They are so fun and made the wedding really too notch.

    Rich and New York Edge - A must hire!

    Rich and the team at New York Edge was absolutely incredible. From the onset, Rich was very helpful and was by far the easiest to work with out of all of our vendors. He spent plenty of time with us designing the perfect wedding.
    NY Edge was easily our guests highlight of our wedding. They absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. If you're thinking about hiring them - stop thinking, and hire them immediately.

    Absolutely Rocked Our Wedding!!!

    Rich and the NY Edge Band rocked the house at our wedding! I had multiple people come up to me to say how great they were! Everyone was dancing the entire time and the room was absolutely electric! Rich also had the band play a song with my dad who's a drummer which will go down as one of my favorite memories ever!! THANK YOU NY EDGE for helping to make our wedding an unforgettable epic party!

    A Pleasure to Work with

    We hired New York Edge for our wedding and our guests were raving about the performance. From our ceremony procession to the last song of the night, the band leaders were very attentive and professional performers. They were extremely accommodating of our unique requests leading up to and during the wedding. We couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out.

    The best band ever!

    Rich and New York Edge are LITERALLY THE BEST BAND EVER. They were amazing to work with from the very beginning. And the wedding itself was so perfect and our guests had the best time ever. We all literally could have danced the night away - in my Mom's words "best night of my life". Everyone was beyond impressed with the string quartet, jazz trio and band. The compliments went on and on "best wedding ever".. "will the band come to England..." to name a few. Dancing and singing at the top of my lungs with all of our family and friends to "Empire State of Mind" will forever be one of the best and most memorable moments of my life.

    Words cannot express how grateful we are. They delivered the best party and experience ever, and we are so thankful. I wish we could do it all over next weekend and the weekend after!

    Simply the best!

    New York Edge Music is the difference between a good band and a great band without equal. Individually, they’re insanely talented. As a group, they were simply unreal. They were able to bring even the most timid of wallflowers amongst our guests to the dance floor in what many thought would be an impossible feat. They were truly the life of our party and the night would not - and could not - have been what it was without them.

    From the ceremony music and cocktail tracks to the reception songs and dancing set, everything was curated to perfection.

    We want to thank Rich, the band lead who doubled as our MC, in particular for his patience and flexibility with our postponed-and-postponed-again celebration. Our wedding was originally scheduled for September 2020. Despite all the changes and challenges we were faced with over the last two years, Rich held us to the terms of our original contract and never passed on increased costs of inflation as I know many other vendors have. He accommodated our every request without complaint or hesitation and made the entire planning process as smooth and easy as can be.

    To Rich and the entire New York Edge Music band, you guys are the real class act and we can’t thank you enough for putting us all in an Empire State of Mind and making it a night we’ll never forget!

    Best decision ever

    10 out of 10 would get married all over again so that NY Edge can play at our wedding. We LOVED working with Rich and NY Edge. From the initial consultation to the run-through before the wedding, Rich was professional, knowledgeable, and made wedding music planning FUN. We had NY Edge musicians for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and of course the reception, and they were PHENOMENAL. The reception was so seamless with Rich MCing the event and our guests were on the dance floor from the start to the finish. Every single person was out of the seat dancing and our guests came from all over the world! Our guests RAVED about the band all night long. If these guys happen to be available on your wedding day, book them now and you will not regret it. BEST DECISION WE MADE.

    Amazing time with New York Edge!!!

    New York Edge was so much fun at our wedding reception!!! Rich was awesome from the moment we met with him. He fully understood our taste, vibe and how we wanted the event to go. The party was so much fun - great music, high energy and kept everyone engaged in dancing. They also learned our first song for us by request which was really great and appreciated.

    They help make it the best night of your life!

    BOOK THEM ASAP! My family, friends husband and I are still talking about this band. Rich and his talented NY Edge team are incredible! Let's start back in 2018 when I got engaged. When looking for a band, I wanted one that could perform songs anywhere from Frank Sinatra to Billy Joel to Rihanna, and sing it well. Seriously. NY Edge's performance videos stood right out to us and I emailed Rich for a meeting. The professionalism and responsiveness was impressive right from the start. My fiancé, mom and I met him and our meeting sealed the deal. Rich is incredibly friendly, professional, organized and talented. He showed us an astonishing amount of their repertoire and let us listen to bits of songs that I threw at him.... like Rihanna. We were stoked and signed the contract. Flash forward to 2020 and the pandemic. Our September 2020 wedding had to be postponed to September 2021 and Rich and his team were nothing but supportive and was on board to postpone with us.
    Along the way, I decided I wanted to surprise my husband with a medley of songs I'd sing for him and learn to play on the ukulele. Then I wanted the band to come in for when I would sing "I Wanna Grow Old With You." When I told Rich about my idea, he was pumped and we set up a meeting. Rich helped me orchestrate the best surprise I could give my husband on our wedding day. The band sounded great and Rich and his team were awesome at helping me make it as smooth as possible. Rich also helped my husband and I fulfill all our and our parents requested songs. From playing a medley of Billy Joel songs for my dance with my dad, to playing Fireball by Pitfall when shots were passed around, to playing a medley of songs from Back to The Future for the Anniversary Dance, they were truly amazing and flexible with our numerous requests. Not to mention that their repertoire on the wedding day was diverse for both our friends and older guests, their musicianship and sound was spectacular, and they had the dance floor filled the ENTIRE NIGHT! I also want to mention that Rich also makes the best MC for your wedding. He's a great leader at keeping your gusts informed and especially great at coming over and checking in with my husband and I about the special events to follow. I hadn't seen that with other bands at other weddings I've attended.
    I know this is a long review but I think it's necessary for everyone to know these important details so they can book this band that helped give my husband and I the BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES! Thank you Rich and the rest of the NY Edge Team!

    Look No Further!!!

    Stop your wedding band search right now, you have found the right group here. New York Edge is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I struggle to put into words how amazing our wedding was because of New York Edge. Rich and the Gang brought the energy all night long. They worked with us through the entire wedding process and were there every step of the way when we postponed due to Covid.

    The month or so before the wedding they were in constant contact about our day, what music we wanted, and the schedule of events of the day. They even worked with my wife to surprise me with an original song in the middle of the reception!

    Even months after the wedding, every time we see friends and family they talk about how awesome the band was, and how it carried the energy throughout the night. Our guests would not get off the dance floor and the party was rocking all night long!!

    I can't thank New York Edge enough. They made our wedding truly the best day of our lives surrounded by friends and family. If you are reading this, please stop your search and book these guys right now, it will be the best wedding decision you ever make!

    Thank you guys so so much!

    Best Night of Our Lives!

    From Day 1, my mom said, “You're having a band!”
    We were so lucky to find New York Edge to play on our wedding day. Rich from New York Edge was so incredibly kind and helpful. From our planning meetings to the day, Rich walked us through it. We didn’t have to worry about dances or speeches, cake or dinner. We had an absolute BLAST dancing the night away. The energy was unparalleled. Thank you, New York Edge!

    Amazing Band!

    Unforgettable wedding night made possible by New York Edge! The process with Rich was so seamless prior to the wedding experience. During our wedding the band fired up the crowd and was in the middle of the party all night. Their energy, talent and music made our wedding a huge hit, thank you New York Edge!

    Don't hesitate, just book!

    I cannot recommend Rich enough! We were so excited to have him and the whole band play at the big wedding we planned for May 2020, but like many other couples, we had to make (multiple!) last minute changes due to covid. Rich was understanding, kind, creative, and went above and beyond to help us out. He turned on a dime and transformed our initial 230 person "dance party" wedding into a classy event for 25 people that was a mix of a quartet & DJing. He gives great suggestions and guidance, is professional and trustworthy, clearly loves what he does, and is just a genuinely good person. Rich, we're so bummed we didn't get to experience the full of the magic of your whole band, but what you created for us could not have been more perfect. Thank you!

    Great experience

    Rich worked with us plans changed during the course of the pandemic. What was to be a big wedding with the full band became a small outdoor affair with a quartet for the first half and Rich serving DJ for the second half. The music was spot on all around.

    So accommodating as we constantly adapted to Covid

    2020 was such a challenging year to have a wedding. We had to change our venue, guest list, and plans multiple times, but Rich and his team were flexible throughout. He would jump on a call with us at a moment's notice and always assured us that he could make adjustments as the situation changed. I honestly don't know what we would have done without him.

    And then of course their music is top notch! He coordinated with my wife's brother to surprise her with an amazing song during the ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiRTv0YWwzQ&feature=emb_title

    The band was great, the DJ was awesome, and Rich is an excellent MC. We've already recommended them to all of our friends.

    Unforgettable, Incredible!!

    New York Edge was AMAZING!!!! This was the best night of our lives and Rich and team truly made it unforgettable. Great energy through the whole night, everyone was up and having an amazing time. So many friends and family approached us saying how incredible the bad was, and with a few more weddings in the family pipeline, I’m sure we’ll be doing some more dance sets with New York Edge in the future!
