A Trip to The Brooklake Country Club

October 21, 2018 was another wedding we did not forget! We can’t help but reminisce about the entire wedding, including a beautiful beaming bride who completely stole the show. Adrianna and Geoff were the lucky couple on this beautiful evening! And Around Town Entertainment was honored to be invited to play on their special day!

Adrianna and Geoff both went to the University of Maine so the room was packed with mutual friends. The first 3 years of their relationship were long-distance, trading weekends up and down the coast between NY and Maine, before ending up in New York City. As soon as they met, they knew immediately they were meant for each other.  It was important for Around Town Entertainment to create a song list that was the soundtrack to their lives and that we did!

We absolutely loved working with them both! We planned together for about 18 months so we had plenty of time to get every last detail perfectly nailed down. Her style along with our carried over into her wedding design displaying that same elegance and glamour. The vision and songs she picked were classic from Blake Shelton to Bon Jovi. We had a fun time curating the soundtrack to their wedding! 

The day of the wedding was a dream. The bridesmaids wore matching pink dresses. How cute! As we followed them to the Chapel, the clouds parted and the sun started shining! Picture perfect!

Adriana’s wedding dress, a fabulous Vera Wang, completely took everyone’s breath away as she walked down the aisle at the amazing Brooklake Country Club in New Jersey. As she entered the main chapel, a pianist from Around Town Entertainment played “I Will Wait” by Mumford and Sons! We couldn’t even keep it together! Absolutely beautiful when the bride and groom locked lips to “I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas.

Following the ceremony, the couple had portraits done as Around Town Band’s jazz trio provided the live music entertainment as guests poured themselves a cocktail or two. The wedding band created a very incredible experience as  guests enjoyed mingling and dancing on the pool deck by an incredible band to dance the night away, which they did!

As guests moved into the Main Ballroom for a candlelight dinner. The Around Town Band from Around Town Entertainment played dance hits from Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston to set the mood for the evening! The large floor-to-ceiling windows and the westerly panoramic view of the lake under the changing colors of the setting sun was the perfect backdrop for this moment. What a spectacular facility and gorgeous setting!

It was really important to us that see our guests feel comfortable and have fun. The Brooklake Country Club was the perfect venue to accommodate that, with its old-school East Coast charm and oceanfront setting being just the right amount of formal, without feeling stuffy. After toasts and a delicious meal, the party moved back outside under the stars. The Around Town Band did not disappoint, and the dance floor was packed the whole night! The only time we were sad the whole day was when they played their last song!

We recognize the extreme importance of creating the perfect event, so from the first introduction to the day of the event, each client is given specialized attention, which entails customizing music for each event, professional and immediate attention to detail and bringing the exact desired effect to each event!

Perfect Manhattan Wedding 150 150 adam Michaels

Perfect Manhattan Wedding

Perfect Manhattan Wedding

We can’t help but reminisce about the absolutely spectacular wedding day on Friday, August 23, 2019. The After Party Band from Around Town Entertainment performed for over 300 people at the Tribeca Rooftop in New York City! 

It was the celebration of Jenny and James’s wedding. Many in the audience were hearing the wedding band perform live for the first time and we sure didn’t disappoint!

Tribeca Rooftop is a chic industrial event venue located in the trendy downtown neighborhood of Tribeca, New York City. Located on a cobblestone street in a 1920’s printing press building, Tribeca Rooftop set the perfect atmosphere for the wedding band’s classy and refined taste. The expansive glass atrium and large windowed walls offered an iconic backdrop for the night’s music from Around Town Entertainment.

The band played classic hits that had the crowd on their feet the entire night!   It was a true New York wedding experience at the stunningly beautiful venue. 

The evening began with a beautiful ceremony overlooking the One World Trade Center.  The wedding ceremony piano player from Around Town Entertainment first serenaded the guests as the anticipation of the bride’s grand entrance built.

For the processional, the bridal walked to “Sinking Deep” by Hillsongs.

The bride chose the traditional wedding song “Wedding March” the Chris Wrisner version. For the recessional, the newlywed husband and wife made their first kiss to the song “Crazy in Love” by Beyonce, and what a perfect song choice it was! It truly was a start to a beautiful and most memorable day!

The guests then enjoyed their glamorous cocktail party, as the trio from Around Town Entertainment played perfect wedding cocktail music throughout the city skyline. The guests then moved back to the ballroom which seemed to magically transform in one hour to the perfect, stunning dream wedding reception setting.

The couple’s first dance wedding song was “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5.

The bride chose “Shut Up and Dance With Me” by Walk the Moon as her father daughter wedding song.

“Make You Feel My Love” by Adele was the selected song for Mother and son wedding song.

The bride and groom also got to hear some of their favorite wedding dance songs from Lady Gage and Black Eyed Peas specially learned and prepared by Around Town Entertainment.

We had this general idea of a “Manhattan” wedding and after visiting TriBeca Rooftop it fit the bill even better than any idea we had imagined. The bride and groom  are still raving about it almost a year later! 

Tribeca Rooftop was beyond anything we could have imagined as a venue. Not only is the place beautiful on its own, but the people dancing to the music was amazing. We really couldn’t have chosen a better place to play at a very special wedding. 

The After Party Band from Around Town Entertainment was honored to be part of such a beautiful New York City wedding.

We look forward to our weekend of weddings to come!

Check out our last wedding in New York.

The crowd cheered as her groom broke the glass, concluding the ceremony, and the bride and groom were finally relieved to be married! They and their guests left the ceremony with the processional song by “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong.

The cocktail hour was spirited with some favorite jazz swing selections as the guests prepared for a night of dancing.

Guests moved to the beautiful Lighthouse Gallery with anticipation for the evening’s main event- Around Town Band.  The Lighthouse Gallery offered the wedding band an elegant space with a warm fireplace for a beautiful fall and a gorgeous backdrop around the guests.

The bride chose “Can’t Help Falling in Love” from Elvis Presley for her bridal party entrance song and “Power Of Love” by Huey Lewis for the bride and groom entrance. They prepared a well-choreographed dance routine, as the crowd cheered the two on.

There was really good energy between the newlyweds and guests that evening. The dance floor remained filled for the rest of the evening as guests danced their heart out to classics like  “Electric Love” by Borns and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” Frankie Valli.

When choosing her Connecticut wedding band, the bride had to make sure we could play some of her favorite wedding music. Around Town Entertainment promised to learn their favorite songs, such as “In The End” by Linkin Park and “A Thing Called Love” by Above & Beyond. The groom even got up to join the band and played the guitar for his favorite song by The Killers! He was the perfect addition to our Connecticut Wedding band from Around Town Entertainment!

Classic Wedding at The Crossed Key Estates

Classic Wedding at The Crossed Key Estates

Like true fate, most romantic stories start online and blossom in the real world. For Laura and Evan, they knew they had something special after date number 1. On their first date, Evan asked Laura to look for the “classically handsome man” standing by the clock in Grand Central Station. That night they had a drink at The Campbell Apartments, walked to Times Square for a few rounds of bowling and then took the subway downtown for an Italian dinner. 

Over the past three and a half years, Laura and Evan have peddled through Nashville, Austin and Copenhagen, skied the mountains of Colorado, Canada and Vermont, and swam the clear blue waters of St. Lucia, Playa Del Carmen, and the Jersey Shore. They also adopted their four legged baby Milo from Texas! 

Evan and Laura have been waiting for this special wedding day their entire lives. And we were too! When they contacted Around Town Entertainment to perform in front of all their family and friends, we were truly honored! 

Laura  and Evan looked good on their big day on July 19, 2020. The sun was shining throughout!  One of the nicest days at The Crossed Key Estates in New Jersey! Under a perfect breeze, the day began with a touching ceremony in the stunning open garden and courtyard overlooking the countryside. The setting could not have been more perfect! The pianist from Around Town Entertainment played classic wedding ceremony music. The bride walked down the isle to “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. “Everything” by Michael Buble was played once the couple was announced as husband and wife.

The guests moved into The Tent for their cocktail hour, where they enjoyed the jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment. There were plenty of space to dance and the energy was very lively! For the reception, the guests enjoyed a wide variety of favorites chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Kleppe played by Around Town Entertainment’s Around Town Band.  The bride and groom chose Brett Eldridge’s “Mean to Me” as their first dance wedding song. The band made sure to play special requested songs including “The Man Who Loves You Most” Zach Brown Band, “How Sweet It Is”  James Taylor, “Higher Love” Whitney Houston, and “Wanna Be” by Spice Girl . The reception was where the party really came to life as they crowd danced all night!

With everything going on the world, it’s no secret that many of our bands have had to adapt or pivot. Lucky for us, we have already made great changes this year to perform safely in front of our audience. We’re fortunate to still be playing live shows and very excited for the upcoming events that follow!

You’ve Got Mail! 150 150 adam Michaels

You’ve Got Mail!

You've Got Mail!

Diane, 30, who works in public relations, and Jeffrey, 26, a graduate student in philosophy at SUNY, both from Brooklyn, met after he answered her posting on Craigslist. When Diane told us how she met boyfriend Jeffrey through Craigslist, we had to ask for the entire story!  

Finding love – or even a quick fling – was not Diane’s primary motivation when she placed the ad for a roommate in her leased Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone. Around 35 people responded, and Diane found herself particularly interested in the witty response of Jeffrey, a philosophy student recently back from studying in Germany. It was rather awkward, because Jeffrey ended up coming to see the apartment at the same time as Diane’s cousin.

But Diane loved his tenacity. He made some joke about anticipating a fight to the death, which really made her laugh. She liked him because he was smart, good-looking and kind of sweet. That night, she told a girlfriend she had a crush on Roman. At first, she didn’t want to offer him the room because she knew that it could be a romance killer.  

In the end, it wasn’t an issue! Diane’s cousin decided he wanted to move in after all. He was family, so Diane decided to keep with the original plan. She eventually called up Jeffrey to tell him the news but she was happy to show him around the neighborhood. Jeffrey was disappointed he didn’t get the room, but gladly took the tour as a consolation prize. We are so glad he did! 

On December 1, 2019, Jeffrey and Diane decided to get married! They invited Around Town Entertainment to play at the wedding at the very romantic Le Chateau. Le Chateau offers both historical details and modern luxuries. This magical 25 – acre estate was the perfect background to a beautiful wedding for the wedding their once in a lifetime celebration. It felt like a rare jewel where past and present come together: the timeless elegance of a country estate with the sophistication and service of Manhattan!

The reception was held at a private, lushly landscaped garden with beautiful arbors overlooking the hills of the Hudson Valley. The magnificent ballroom venue took our breath away and was absolutely perfect. Not only was the venue beautiful with a grand entrance filled with votive candles and lanterns, rustic cocktail hour room, picture perfect sunset, stunning ballroom with fairytale chandeliers, spacious bridal suite), but the music was top notch too! 

Around Town Entertainment brought in Around Town Band to perform for the evening. They accommodated every song request to truly make the wedding special. They played hits from John Legend to Elton John while the guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. We overheard many comments from the bride and groom on how wonderful the music was. The music kept everyone dancing all night! What a stunning venue and absolutely perfect place to get married! We couldn’t have performed at a better wedding! 

The Around Town Band brings high energy experience to every event. They have elite, talented and studied musicians that have toured with some of today’s top artists. Book them today!

The Love Connection 150 150 adam Michaels

The Love Connection

The Love Connection

Jill, 23, a legal secretary and Andrew, 23, a police officer from Union City, N.J., met on a US Airways plane. When Jill boarded her flight between Newark and Charlotte, N.C., she was looking forward to some quiet time alone with her magazine.

But the moment the neighboring seat was occupied by good-looking stranger Andrew, she sensed the latest issue of Cosmopolitan could wait. Jill asked her if she had gum and then he bought her a bottle of water. Elizabeth was immediately struck by his friendly, laid-back attitude. What a nice guy! 

By the time the plane reached Charlotte, the pair were chatting like old friends. They had a 90-minute layover before taking separate onward flights and continued their flirtatious conversation in Starbucks. Even though they were visiting family in different parts of Florida, Andrew suggested they meet up right away. This was perfect for Elizabeth, who had recently separated from her husband after three years of marriage. She thought it was crazy, but she agreed. 

A few days later, Andrew drove more than 400 miles from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale and back to escort her to a Halloween night at Universal Studios. Jill was so flattered she asked him if it was a real date! He promised her it was as long as it ends in a kiss.  So she made sure that happened and leaned over and kissed him! What a cute story! 

The theme park visit was such a success they met up the day Andrew returned to New Jersey when he introduced Jill to his family. His mom was hoping that Andrew proposed because their babies would have the most gorgeous green eyes. 

Five months on, amid talk of moving in together, the romance had truly blossomed. Jill loved the way that, as a tough-guy cop, Andrew is her ultimate protector and also so trusting and kind. They say love happens when you least expect it. It had to be fate. And sure it was!

On March 8, 2020, they officially became husband and wife. They asked Around Town Entertainment to provide the live music entertainment and we were so happy to do so. 

Their special day was held at The Liberty House.  The Liberty House is a waterfront wedding venue in Jersey City, New Jersey. The location specializes in memorable wedding ceremonies and receptions. Boasting magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline, the venue is dedicated to tantalizing the senses of its guests with its award winning cuisine, handcrafted decor and lavish grounds. Designed to enchant, the venue features beautifully manicured gardens, private cabanas and fire-side seating. Classic and unforgettable, Liberty House is the ideal location for a wedding for the perfect couple!

 On this beautiful day, the Liberty House was packed with 500 of Andrew and Jill’s closest family and friends. The evening began with an elegant jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment for the cocktail hour.  Then all guests moved into the reception where the band literally played every style of music in the book, including some of their special song requests. Andrew and Jill really wanted pop songs from Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, and Train, so the band played the most current top 40 songs. 

The dance floor was packed the moment the band started the dance set. Even as the main course was being served, the guests just kept dancing! The night ended with classic tunes from the band like Frank Sinatra and Journey. Very appropriate to close a lovely evening!

Congratulations Jill and Andrew!
