Katie K. Sent on 09/26/2024Fantastic duo! The sprinkles on top to our wedding day
We initially didn’t plan on having any live music/DJ during our wedding day as we were having more of a smaller and casual wedding (~50 guests) but I am beyond happy that we found Skylark Music as they were the perfect addition to make our day magical!
It was so easy working with Justin from Skylark Music and they were exactly what we were looking for; live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and a DJ for our reception.
We requested a specific song to be played for our ceremony and it was executed so beautifully! I lowkey wish I could have been a guest at my wedding to have fully experienced it. We also missed out on hearing the live saxophone and piano for our cocktail hour as we were busy taking photos but our guests were raving about the live music!
Skylark Music made our day so magical and it seriously flew by. -

Yichi C. Sent on 08/18/2024Unforgettable Wedding Day Thanks to Skylark Music!
We can't thank Justin and Skylark Music enough for creating the perfect soundtrack for our wedding and turning our vision into a magical day! From the start, it was an absolute joy to work with Justin. He was communicative, organized, and so easy to collaborate with during the planning process. On the wedding day, he went above and beyond, even assisting with small but important details like pushing rainwater off the tent during the ceremony (we had several rainstorms throughout our wedding).
Despite the weather, our guests couldn't stop raving about the music, and it was clear they had a blast on the dance floor. The day was truly unforgettable, and we are so grateful for Justin and Skylark Music! -

Our wedding could not have gone better, and Skylark music was a big part of that. When we started planning we had another DJ in mind who turned out to be unavailable, but after the first time we spoke with Justin it felt that we found an even better fit than our plan A. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was exactly what we were looking for, and it was easy to see how much fun everyone was having on the dance floor. Justin also did a great job as an MC coordinating with us and other parties to keep everything moving smoothly. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience for us and we'd recommend Skylark Music to others in a heartbeat. -

We hired Skylark for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and were so happy with the quality of performance that was provided. We knew we wanted a live music component, but were working on a smaller budget, so Justin worked with us so to have a duo present for our ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by him serving as DJ for our reception. He was incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and took our personalities and interests into consideration when finalizing the playlists for our special day. We are so happy with Skylark, and can't recommend them enough! -

We wanted to find someone who can play live music and DJ and luckily, we found Skylark :)
The ceremony and reception went by so fast but the sequencing felt seamless and the music was fitting and created the right mood and atmosphere for our farm wedding and our party centric friends! So appreciative of Justin's suggestions and accommodating our late requests. -

Perfect for our day
Justin of Skylark Music helped us through the entire process and was extremely kind and attentive throughout our planning process and on wedding day. Together we crafted really beautiful ceremony, cocktail hour and reception playlists. The live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour really added to the intended ambiance of the whole day. We wanted a low key DJ experience for our reception and Justin really understood our wishes and delivered. Wish we could go back and relive it all again. Highly recommend!! -

Katie K. Sent on 01/11/2023Skylark Music is everything you want for both a DJ and live musicians!
Hiring Skylark Music for our live music and DJ was hands-down the BEST decision we made!
Justin and Jesse played live music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and Justin also DJed our reception. They were nothing short of AMAZING. They were on-time, professional, friendly, and well in sync with each other. They are easy to get in contact with, timely with responses, and willing + able to go with whatever vibe you are looking for! They are also incredibly flexible and diverse with music. My husband and I chose upbeat folk for our live music, but they also do pop music covers, jazz, and classical to name a few.
My husband and I had some odd song requests (Jump in the Line from Beetlejuice and Congratulations - Post Malone) and not only did they learn it without any questions or difficulty, but they NAILED it! Their hauntingly beautiful live rendition of Across the Universe had everyone (including myself) in tears. Guests at our wedding are still telling me how much they loved the live music and DJ.
As a DJ, Justin is very flexible and encourages you to create two separate playlists for both dinner and dancing. He will play ANYTHING you wish- from metal, to eccentric & eclectic, to 80's, rap, R&B, pop, you name it. He was able to read a crowd and keep people on the dance floor.
We 100% recommend choosing them as your live musicians and DJ-- you WILL NOT regret it! -

Thank you so much to this beautiful trio for playing our Cocktail hour on 10/08/2022. We are musicians and music educators who love jazz. Jesse and his team played so amazingly and filled our room with a jazz feel, just the way we wanted. We are only sorry we didn't get to chat with them more, because the day went so fast! We would absolutely book this group again for another event. =) -

Justin and Jesse played at our wedding in Hudson, NY on 9/3/22. Justin and Jesse played live music during our ceremony, cocktails, and throughout diner. Justin then DJ'ed during the reception. In the months leading up to the wedding Justin was very responsive and kept in touch. He was very easy to work with. We sent him numerous playlists to work with and bounce ideas off of. He made sure to keep the music to songs and vibes we were going for during the reception, could not have asked for more. The live music was absolutely phenomenal. They learned all the songs we asked of them for the ceremony and then worked off of an inspiration playlist during cocktails and diner. The live music was so much fun and gave an amazing ambience to the evening. During diner they played an acoustic cover of Sweet Child O'Mine that was so great the entire reception could not help but watch and everyone ended up clapping which is amazingly rare to happen while people are playing background music. It was an incredible moment. We recommend Skylark Music to anyone who wants a classy, but not stuffy, and very fun live music. These guys are great! -

Alison K. Sent on 07/03/2022Amazing ceremony/cocktail music!
Skylark Music was an amazing addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour. We spoke with Justin several times throughout the planning process, and he was always super gracious, kind, and accommodating. He gave us lots of ideas and was even willing to learn/arrange our relatively obscure choices. The arrangements sounded gorgeous, and getting to walk down the aisle to songs so meaningful to us was an incredible experience. Additionally, my family performed a song during the ceremony, and Justin helped make sure it sounded terrific. The jazzy vibe during cocktail hour was really fun and kicked off the party perfectly. Highest recommendation!!! -

Ashley M. Sent on 11/10/2021Amazing experience
We had a great time working with Jesse and Justin at Skylark for our 11/6 wedding. They provided the music for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. Both Jesse and Justin were super helpful in the planning process as we crafted a playlist based off of their repertoire and our (varied!) musical tastes. They were the perfect addition to our event and I'll still remember how great the moment was as I walked down the aisle to their live music. Would highly recommend!Skylark Music's reply:
Thanks Ashley! It was our pleasure. Neil Young, Sigur Ros, and Beyonce was quite the combo for your ceremony! Cheers and good luck to you and Mike! -

We hired Skylark for our wedding this past August, and we could not have had a better experience. We used them for classical music during our ceremony, some jazz and pop during cocktail hour, and then Justin DJ’d our reception. They did such an AMAZING job throughout the entire day, and were SO EASY to work with through the entire process. We even had some more out of the box requests that Justin was more than willing to accommodate. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Skylark for your wedding, you won’t regret it!!!Skylark Music's reply:
Thanks for having us be a part of it! That was a fun one for us. Cheers and many happy years of marriage to you!
