    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!

    The Best DJ!

    Austin was our DJ and he was fantastic! From our first call with him we felt so comfortable and he really helped us make our wedding OURS. The dance floor was filled the entire night. The app was so easy to use and EMG is so put together and organized! We couldn’t recommend Elegant Music Group more!

    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!

    Definitely recommend

    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!

    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!

    Highly highly recommend

    Bryan and the entire EMG team were absolutely amazing. From planning to their app, to responsiveness, to the actual day everything was flawless. We had different pieces of our culture baked in and they were incredibly helpful in navigating with additional vendors and timeline of the day etc. Everyone was dancing all night long and I very much appreciated the attentiveness to my husband and I directly, they would only allow us to make decisions and cleared everything with us before allowing guests to request songs etc. OVERALL, couldn’t recommend them enough!!

    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.

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    We had the best experience with EMG at our wedding at Hotel Du Village. The team is full of professional musicians that take every step of the wedding planning process seriously. They were easy to communicate with and their planning app is so helpful. I can't imagine organizing the music portion of the wedding without it. We hired a cellist and pianist for ceremony and cocktail hour, as well as DJs for our reception. Everything sounded amazing and flowed seamlessly, no technical difficulties. Josuel was our event host and we would HIGHLY recommend him! It was great being able to talk and consult with him as our wedding got closer, and he really got our vibe! He read the room and had the whole place dancing! 10/10!

    The ABSOLUTE best!!!!!

    EMG is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! From the first time I met them, they were immediately amazing to work with -- so kind, fun, and they made everything SO easy! Tom hosted our event and did an absolutely incredible job!! He brought the party (everyone was dancing the entire time), but also kept it elegant and classy (none of that cheesy DJ stuff!). He was also extremely detail oriented, taking the time and care to understand every detail of the day.. and then he executed to perfection! Also, the live musicians were super talented and did a beautiful job. Totally speechless at how awesome the EMG crew is -- cannot recommend them enough!!!!

    Dj matty g is incredible

    The EMG staff was lovely and responsive, from our onboarding call to the last-minute technical questions. But the real star of the show, for us, was DJ Matty G.

    Matty DJed our wedding in September, and he not only met our expectations but went far above and beyond what we would reasonably expect from anyone. He was friendly and easy to get along with; he understood our timeline and kept the party moving; he easily made adjustments/vamped when the groom's sister got stuck in a room (literally) and was running late for her speech; he gladly reordered our reception bridal party entrance after the ceremony; and he cheerfully let me (the bride) change my father-daughter dance song at the last minute (an actual 30 seconds before we entered the reception room). He knew when the energy on the dance floor was waning and what songs would pump some life back into it. When the reception was over, Matty was off the clock and packing up, and we were setting up karaoke for our after party, I realized I forgot to bring one of the cables for my own speakers. Matty came over, asked what was wrong, and dug into his already-packed-up gear to find the cable I needed. He said to keep it, that it wasn't a big deal for him to get another. Our savior!

    THANK YOU, Matty and EMG, for making our day and night an exceptionally good one. To anyone considering hiring them, I encourage you to do it. And if you have the option of working with Matty, TAKE IT. You won't regret it!

    Kept the party going at maximum overdrive

    Our wedding became an extraordinary celebration, all thanks to the sensational fusion band Neon Transit that graced our special day. They did more than keep everyone on the dance floor; they transformed our wedding into an electrifying dance extravaganza that left us and our guests utterly thrilled.

    From the very start, their performance infused the atmosphere with an infectious energy that had everyone moving. Combining the live band's organic sound with the DJ's modern touch was a genius move, making their music irresistible and dynamic.

    Their versatility knew no bounds, effortlessly spanning various genres and eras, catering to all musical tastes and ages present. Their engagement with the audience was magnetic, with the lead vocalist encouraging sing-alongs and spontaneous dance-offs, creating an inclusive and joyful atmosphere.

    Our wedding had countless memorable moments, but it was this remarkable band-DJ fusion that took it to an entirely new level. They made our party unforgettable, and we'll forever cherish the energy and enthusiasm they brought to our special day.

    Neon Transit EXCEEDED Expectations

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with using Elegant Music Group for my wedding in August 2023.

    When looking for vendors, we wanted a hybrid band but struggled to find a group that was responsive to what we were going for. From the get, EMG had their clients in mind, while still imparting their expertise and wisdom. We felt super confident with the team.

    We ended up hiring Neon Transit, an amazing hybrid band, for our wedding. From there, we were primarily in contact with Yanko, who is a DJ/MC extraordinaire, who you could immediately tell has a passion for his work. I felt like I was in great hands with Yanko and trusted his suggestions. He guided us to work out the details and allowed us to not have to worry about the details on our big day.

    Our guests were OBSESSED with Neon Transit. They loved the selection of music, the hybrid approach, and the energy the band provided. At least 3 people asked us for the website/contact information for their wedding or a friend.

    20/10 recommend this vendor. They are easy to work with, extremely organized, and really keep in mind their clients when planning out your day! Thank you to EMG and Neon Transit for making our day so special!

    Absolutely perfect

    We were absolutely thrilled with the music at our wedding thanks to Josuel at Elegant Music Group! My husband and I had a very specific vision for the vibe we wanted to create with our wedding music, and Josuel was receptive to our ideas from the very beginning. We really felt that our vision was his top priority. He was also extremely attentive to detail, (i.e, going over the pronunciation of names, order of events, etc). We had our cocktail hour and reception in the Conservatory at the Madison Hotel and it was the most perfect day. The music and the natural uplighting provided by Josuel were a class act. The music was the perfect volume; you never had to shout to be heard, and the dance floor was full the whole time with people of all ages. It was such an elegant and classy vibe which was exactly what we wanted. We did not want the night to end! Thank you Josuel and EMG, we cannot recommend you enough.

    Thank you!

    Josuel made our wedding at Bear Brook Valley beyond what we ever could have imagined. Bringing our family and friends together through an epic night of dancing is something we will cherish forever. Josuel brilliantly blended a wide variety of genres that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. He brought all of the details we discussed in our planning meetings to life. He knew exactly how to keep the energy and excitement going. He even included an incredible Kompa set. Everyone can't stop talking about how Josuel was a hit and we hope our paths cross again.

    Josuel & the entire EMG team were fantastic. We are so grateful!

    Fantastic job by the EMG team!

    We had EMG for our July wedding - for a welcome party and the wedding night itself - and could not praise them highly enough. We had Josuel as the event host on our wedding night and he did a wonderful job getting everyone up and dancing, balancing a multicultural wedding and guests from varying age ranges. We also had a violin and keyboard player for the ceremony and during the dinner, and they were also absolutely fantastic! They were so skilled and able to learn any random song we requested. Also a special shout-out to Chano who did a great job getting people up and dancing even at the welcome party, ever when we didn't expect them to :) Everyone from EMG was incredibly professional, on time and did a wonderful job. We highly recommend them!
