Great Musicians!

Skylark played live music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and we also used them as our reception DJ.

Planning a wedding, even a small one like ours, can be stressful, but Skylark made the process so easy.Leading up to our wedding they were super helpful, communicative and responsive, making sure that we were prepared.

They played our ceremony and recession songs beautifully, and even helped us figure out the best point in the song to start walking down the aisle.

The live cocktail hour music was also great: it was tasteful, classy, fun and incorporated our song requests.

After cocktail hour Justin stuck around and Dj’ed the wedding, he did a great job of matching the vibe of the crowd - even though we had a small intimate wedding with no dance floor, many people got out and started dancing!

Would highly recommend working with Skylark - they make the process fun and easy and their love and knowledge of music truly shows!

10/10 would recommend!

We loved working with Justin. He took the time to understand what we wanted for our vibe and understood the assignment! The ceremony music was beautiful, and he had plenty of options to choose from if you do not have a specific song in mind. As a dj, he kept people dancing and we know our guests had a great time!

Everything you could ask for. 10/10

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.
