    EMG made our wedding!

    Tom and EMG absolutely crushed it for my wedding. We've gotten so many compliments about the music, and the dancefloor was packed all evening.

    As soon as the reception ended, I made a beeline for Tom and asked "Where can we give you reviews?" I was eager to do it because he'd just made our wedding.

    My wife and I went with an "enhanced" DJ package that added a drumkit and a saxophone. I wasn't sure at first how that would land, but it was incredible, and I'm so glad we went with that option. The live drums added so much energy, and the saxophone filled everything out. Multiple people commented on how much the live instruments added.

    Tom himself was perfect as our DJ - just the right amount of MCing to keep things flowing without becoming intrusive, and excellent song sequencing to keep the party progressing.

    The EMG team was friendly, attentive, and easy to work with throughout, and their use of an app to suggest and track songs really streamlined the process.

    Very strong recommend.

    Hiring EMG for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!

    Hiring EMG for our wedding day was the best decision we could have possibly made! They are incredibly professional, collaborative and every team member we've either spoken to or worked with throughout the planning process has been so friendly! You can tell they are not only experts in creating an unforgettable experience, but genuinely care about giving the bride and groom a party they'll never forget! In addition to hiring Tom as our Event Host and having another DJ to provide music for our cultural fusion celebration, through them we also brought in a keyboardist for our cocktail hour, had a digital seating chart, video guest book, lighting, sparklers and vanity photo booth which were all amazing! A one-stop shop that's reliable and that your guests will be raving about like ours did all night. We also cannot say enough amazing things about working with Tom and having him host our reception. He made guests feel included on the dance floor and was so accommodating with any request or question we had along the way. We would hands down recommend EMG for every bride looking to have the absolute best of the best when it comes to entertainment and media for their big day!

    Exceeded my expectations

    booked Elegant Music Group to be my String Quartet at my Church New Jersey December 2023 wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job! Walking down the aisle to the sound of their string quartet truly made me feel like a true princess! It made my fairy tale dreams come to true! In addition to the beautiful day of music, the consultation process prior to the day of was so smooth and I felt so supported! I booked EMG last minute before my wedding and they pulled off everything I wished! I do wish I had booked EMG to also be my DJ for my reception and if I could change anything for the day of my wedding, that would be it! EMG is an incredibly professional and talented group! They can come up with any kind of music or entertainment solution for your event – name an instrument, name a music genre and style and they will figure it out for you! I would HIGHLY recommend EMG for ALL your music and entertainment wedding needs!

    Bryan was the best!

    We had such a great experience with elegant music group. The first introduction call was great, someone walked us through all of the options and helped us to pick the right musicians and DJ for our wedding. We chose a string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour and a DJ for our reception. The string quartet was great and were able to play every song we requested! Bryan Festa was our DJ and we could not be happier with him! He did a great job MC-ing and made all the announcements we needed and he had all of our guests up and dancing! He is so professional and understood everything we wanted exactly. We’ve had many guests comment on how great the music was! We highly recommend Bryan and Elegant music group!

    Full Day Wedding (>12 hours of service)

    DJ Bryan was absolutely fantastic - not only a great DJ and MC, but also a fantastic addition to the wedding execution team in general. We had multiple events, all of which he was ready for well in advance, equipped with the right staff and technology, and kept high-energy and exciting. He took the time out of his day to drive me (groom) back to the hotel for an emergency. He also helped pivot the schedule of the reception as we were over an hour late by that point in time. Before the event, the app and the support team were also super easy for planning purposes. All around stellar experience and team.

    10/10 Experience with Josuel (DJ)

    Josuel was an excellent DJ who had the whole room dancing the entire night! We can’t say enough good things about Josuel, and we got so many compliments on him from our guests. From the first call, it was obvious that Josuel cared about attention to detail and he made a conscious effort to understand what we wanted from our reception.

    Not only was Josuel great to work with but everyone at Elegant Music Group was helpful and punctual in responding. From the minute we hopped on our informational call, we knew we found the right company for our wedding.

    The absolute BEST

    EMG was AMAZING to work with as the entertainment professionals for our April 2024 Wedding. The owners are down-to-earth and are very knowledgeable about the music and entertainment industry. All employees of the company were super responsive to emails and special requests. They provide you with an App to personalize the music and sequence of events which was one of the main reasons why my husband and I chose to work with this entertainment vendor initially- we love to party and had the ability to choose exactly what we wanted in terms of music and flow of our reception. We chose to hire a DJ for our event and added a saxophonist to complement the music played——BEST DECISION!! Our guests are still raving about this, and our dance floor was never empty. Austin (our DJ) was super talented, kind, and went above and beyond for us. He let my husband (a former DJ in his past life haha) have a quick moment to jump behind the booth—one of the highlights of our reception. Austin is seriously THE BEST!!! We 100% recommend EMG to all couples looking for an amazing wedding reception experience.

    Amazing vendor experience

    My husband and I hired EMG for our wedding - we had Tommy as our DJ/MC and a violinist(for our ceremony), drum player and saxophone player. I can not put into words how their team went above and beyond what we could have ever expected to give my husband and I the absolute best night of our lives!! Our dance floor was packed the entire night and all of our guests that we spoke to after the wedding raved about how excellent our DJ was!! From the beginning processes to our initial meeting to all the planning zoom calls leading up to our big day, Tommy and his team were excellent. If you want your dance floor filled all night and your guests talking about how amazing your wedding was for weeks to come - book EMG!!!!!!

    The Best Night Ever

    My husband and I got married in March of this year. We had Cesar and The Gramercy as our entertainment for the night and they were absolutely incredible. Our guests loved the hybrid DJ/band combo, and we continued to get rave reviews about our entertainment long after the wedding was over. From the time we first reached out to EMG, all the way up until to our wedding night, everything was seamless. They are so easy to communicate with, were quick to answer any and all questions we had, and they are truly so talented at what they do. Special shoutout to Cesar for being such a phenomenal DJ/MC. He truly exceeded our expectations and did not miss a single detail. We would absolutely recommend EMG and The Gramercy for anyone looking to have the most amazing time at their wedding :)

    The Gramercy was AMAZING

    We really enjoyed our experience with The Gramercy. Myself and my husband can not stop raving about them as well as all of our guests. Cesar and the team were amazing and super helpful and organized for the whole planning process as well as the night of. I would HIGHLY recommend to any bride looking for a band hybrid!

    EMG is a must book if you want to PARTY

    Band/DJ hybrid: Neon Transit
    Yanko and his group Neon Transit were an absolute BLAST. I had to physically be pulled off the dance floor when I was needed for formalities because I did not want to miss a single song. They took our must play list and ran with it, reading the room and giving us the songs we needed when we needed them. Guests complimented us all night on the choice of this band/DJ hybrid, and were particularly impressed with the live musicians of the group.

    Photo booth and dance floor lighting:
    The Photo Booth was a huge hit! We saw people of all ages having fun with it throughout the entire night. The intelligent dance floor lighting was a last minute add on for us and I’m glad we did it, it really helped create a fun atmosphere without feeling “clubby”

    Fantastic journey

    From the very beginning we felt so comfortable with the emg team. After interviewing a few companies. Emg made us feel like they can be apart of our family. We also went to their headquarters to opening night and had so much fun. This helped us pick the extras for the wedding. We ended up getting a violinist, keyboardist, up-lighting and of course… Bryan. Bryan was unbelievable! I want to have another party just to use them all again. I can’t even explain how many of my friends and family called me how great the music was. We couldn’t stop dancing.

    Best experience!

    Could not ask for better service from a company providing music and lightning for a wedding. Cesar is the BEST! He made the process so easy! Excellent communication, service, timing and and professionalism through the entire planning and wedding day. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, use EMG and book with Cesar, you will love it! The pianist for the reception is also a really great touch that we are so happy we chose!

    A Magical Musical Experience

    We had the pleasure of having Elegant Music Group and The Gramercy as part of our special day, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Cesar and the team at The Gramercy created an unforgettable atmosphere with their incredible music and vibrant energy.

    From the moment we first reached out to them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They took the time to understand our musical preferences and incorporated our favorite songs seamlessly into the event. Their selection was spot-on and kept the dance floor packed all night.

    Cesar's engaging interaction with our guests added an extra layer of fun to the festivities. We received numerous compliments from our friends and family about the music and how it contributed to the lively spirit of the evening. The Gramercy's dedication to creating a magical musical experience for their clients is truly commendable.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Elegant Music Group and The Gramercy to any couple looking to make their wedding day even more special with the power of music. We're not only grateful for their exceptional service but also eager to see them again in the future.

    Thank you, Cesar and The Gramercy, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

    EMG was a hit!

    Hiring Elegant Music Group for our Wedding was definitely one of our BEST vendor decisions! Music is extremely important to us so we definitely put a lot of emphasis on finding the best entertainment company. From the first call with Mike, we knew we didn't have to look anywhere else. The entire crew at EMG was professional, knowledgable and responsive from start to finish. Shawn was our Event Host and we were so lucky to have him! Not only was he extremely talented, experienced, and fun but he made the process so personal and customized. We trusted him instantly and when our wedding date finally came around, Shawn made sure our dance floor was never empty. We, along with our guests, had the absolute best time and everyone raved about the music. They still haven't stopped talking about our electric violinist (shout out to the incredible Tristan!!). We were fortunate to have Tristan play the violin during our ceremony as well. I walked down the aisle to the Jurassic Park Theme Song (a different request that the norm, for sure) and Tristan played it so beautifully. It was perfect & exactly how I imagined it. We cannot rave enough about EMG - definitely hire them for your next event!

    We worked with Cesar through EMG for our wedding on 10/28/23 at The Madison Hotel, and we could not be happier with our experience! We met with Cesar twice leading up to the day, he was very professional and made note of all of our wants. We put music into the app and Cesar totally got the vibe we were going for. On the day of, he emceed perfectly and the music was exactly what we wanted. We got SO many compliments on the music and our guests were dancing the entire night. We also got our photo booth through them and it exceeded our expectations! We cannot recommend EMG and Cesar enough!

    Can't recommend Elegant Music Group enough--perfect wedding DJ

    We had Elegant Music Group (EMG) to provide DJ services for our wedding. We were very lucky to have Bryan of EMG as our wedding DJ; we’re not exaggerating when we say he is the best wedding DJ we’ve seen–we feel so lucky that he happened to be the DJ for our wedding!

    We find the most important feature of a good wedding reception is how good the DJ is—that is, are they selecting tracks that the guests enjoy and are they mixed in such a way that the energy is maintained and guests want to stay on the dance floor. Bryan went above and beyond in both—the track selections were impeccable and the mixing was better than clubs we’ve frequented in SF and NYC. Guests mentioned to us that they hadn’t danced so much at a wedding before and it was because of the engaging and joyous environment that Bryan created.

    We had an Indian fusion wedding, and Bryan was able to seamlessly incorporate Indian music throughout the event. We were also impressed that Bryan was able to make some adjustments and improvise on the day of to accommodate changes. The biggest example of this was that we had a recessional baraat (which isn’t normally done and was more difficult to plan for due to unpredictable weather the day of the wedding). Fortunately the weather held up and Bryan was able to help us pull off the baraat with a portable speaker setup– even deciding mid-baraat to move the speaker to the road when he got stuck in the flow of people. It was one of the highlights of the wedding!

    Our only regret is that we can’t see Bryan DJ again until we are lucky enough to be invited to a party where he’s performing :)

    Finally, EMG in general was an excellent vendor. They were extremely professional and experienced--you can tell with speaking to their organizers to even emailing with their administrative professionals, they know what they're doing. The entire process is very well designed and thought out.

    Amazing Entertainment Company!!

    We used EMG for our wedding back in October and had an incredible experience! The team is incredible responsive, kind, and detailed! They also have so many incredible options- which is why they were an easy vendor for us to go forward with!

    We hired two live musicians- a pianist and violinist- for our ceremony and cocktail hour- WOW. They not only played every song beautifully, but they also added an incredible touch to our day.

    Jony Rahat was an amazing DJ and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long for our ceremony! It was important to us to play music for EVERYONE and he did just that. We also had a photobooth- which was a HUGE hit. It was seamless and our guests got to leave with beautiful photos- and we got copies of all of them!

    Best Entertainment Team

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for Bryan Festa's exceptional services as the DJ and entertainment provider for my wedding. From the initial planning stages to the execution of the event, Bryan's professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were truly remarkable.

    Bryan's ability to read the crowd and create a lively and engaging atmosphere was truly impressive. He seamlessly blended my must have playlist and various music genres to cater to the diverse tastes of our guests, keeping the dance floor packed throughout the night. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and he truly made our wedding a night to remember.

    I highly recommend Bryan Festa and Elegant Music Group to anyone planning a special event. Their commitment to excellence and unwavering attention to detail will ensure that your event is a truly memorable and enjoyable experience for all.

    Thank you again, Bryan, for making our wedding day so unforgettable.

    Will work with again!!

    Elegant Music Group is truly a dream to work with. The entire process with planning and communicating with our DJ, Cesar, was so easy. He made every request we had come to life and made our wedding so personal to us. We had a live saxophone player and a drummer which added so much depth to the event. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting our music and DJ throughout the night! Thank you Cesar and EMG!

    Bryan was fantastic

    We got married in September and Bryan Festa with EMG could not have impressed us more. Him and his team were extremely helpful throughout, and were seamlessly flexible on the day of. Their planning process is thorough, but were ready to change it up when the moment called for it on our wedding day.

    Bryan was professional and could not have been nicer. He understood our vision perfectly, and *everyone* at the wedding was impressed with the dance floor, music selection, everything.

    We would highly recommend Bryan and his team for your wedding any day of the week. Thank you so much!

    Party Went All Night!

    EMG and event host Matty were two parts of my wedding people could not stop talking about. EMG provided our DJ, our electronic seating chart, our photobooth, uplighting, and our audio guestbook. Working with them was so easy and I had nothing to worry about day of. We met with Matty twice prior to the wedding, just going off how fun and hilarious the meetings were we knew our wedding was in good hands. EMG uses an app for music organization and selection which was so easy to use. Day of, Matty KILLED it. People were on the dance floor the entire time, song choice and transition were impeccable, and overall it was just extremely fun. If I had to plan it all over again, I would choose Matty and EMG every time.
