AN OUTDOOR SOIREE! AN OUTDOOR SOIREE!

September 12, 2020 was the perfect night for Karly Morgenstein and Donald Knaus Junior to tie the knot. It would all happen at the picturesque venue Andover Farms in Andover, New Jersey. The evening began with an intimate outdoor ceremony. The pianist from Around Town Entertainment serenaded the guests as they arrived and were escorted to their seats before the ceremony began. Then the selected songs for the ceremony began as it was time for the bridal and groom to walk down the aisle. The groom’s song was Pachebel’s “Canon in D”. And the bride chose a classic song “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis Presley. The guests shared this very special moments as the bride and groom exchanges vows and were wed. They were met with cheers as the announced husband and wife. The pianist played the most appropriate song chosen by the couple “Best Days Of My Life” by American Authors.
The guests were invited to a spectacular cocktail style event. The couple opted for this to create a loose and casual vibe and also of course to really make sure guests had the ability to move around and dance. And did they dance! The night was filled with great music provided by Around Town Entertainment. The bride and groom chose The Authority band, one of five unique bands from Around Town Entertainment. The company offers five separate and set bands that have become an incredibly popular choice for most couples seeking a high energy and high end Connecticut wedding band, New Jersey Wedding Band and New York Wedding band.
The band prepared all the songs and performed each for the introduction of the bride and groom, their first dance, their parent dances and their cake cutting moment. They also prepared the couple’s favorite dance songs that they really wanted to hear at the wedding.
The introduction song “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince and the crowd did go crazy! The bride and groom of course had an intimate first dance and they chose the song “You Light Up My Life” by Whitney Houston. The father then cut in and had a special moment to dance with his daughter to the song “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw. The groom had a dance with his mom as well and they danced to the song “Sunrise Sunset” by Perry Cuomo.
The couple cut their cake later in the evening and the band performed the song “If You Ask Me To” by Mackenzie Porter. Some of the special requested songs that were added were “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner, “Together Forever” by Rick Astley, “Gloria” by Laura Branigan, “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen just to name a few.
It was our honor to have been chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Knaus Junior for their special event. For live video footage of our five set bands please visit our website www.aroundtownent.com. Each band has thirty minutes of live and unedited video showing a full range of styles from the classic hits to the most current top 40 radio hits. The bands are fresh in style but well round to appeal to everyone. We truly want all guests dancing, all night!

Smitten in New York

Smitten in New York

Julie and Silvan Schmitz were smitten or as they so cleverly said it “Schmitten!”

The couple met inCapetown, South Africa. They met in a bar called Ferryman’s at the V&A waterfront when they sat at adjacent tables. Several hours of drinks and conversation later, the group decided to explore more of Capetown together. After enough drinks and delusions of grandeur, a second adventure the following day was proposed. To their surprise, the adventure continued into a 9 hour hike up AND down Table Mountain. They knew this was the beginning of a very special relationship. Julie left Capetown on her travels and Silvan decided to drive several hours to take her to dinner and spend her last day in South Africa with him. As time passed, every day they still spoke. After a month of talking, Julie booked a trip back to South Africa to travel the garden route with Silvan for two weeks. 4 weeks later, Silvan came to New York and they began the beginning of their long distance relationship, traveling every 6 weeks to see each other. The rest was history!

The couple planned a spectacular East Hampton, New York wedding on a sprawling property with the most exquisite scenery, just perfect for a summer wedding day. With horses and stables off to the side of the property, there was just enough down home country vibe to bring the perfect touch of warmth to the upscale Hamptons wedding.
The wedding was tented and adorned with lights that created an enchanted evening.
Adding to the enchantment of course, the bride and groom had to choose the perfect music to accompany the moment. The couple chose the New York City wedding band, the Around Town Band from Around Town Entertainment. This is one of the most sought after New York Wedding Bands and the New York wedding entertainment had to be perfection. And it was!
The evening started with a jazz duo that entertained the guests as they arrived and enjoyed the extended two hour cocktail reception. The duo played an eclectic mix of lively songs to set the easy, yet sophisticated vibe for the evening. The guests then moved to the tent where it was time to celebrate the bride and groom in great style! Julie and Silvan made a grand introduction as husband and wife as the band played “Feel So Close” by Calvin Harris. They then danced to their chosen first dance song, “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. What a great choice! The bride had a special dance with her father to a really uniquely, beautiful song “In Case You Didn’t Know“ by Boyce Avenue. The guests danced the night away to a high energy mix of songs that were both classic and current in feel. This had everyone on the dance floor the entire evening. The bride had a very special surprise in store for her new husband. She joined the band to sing a song “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alecia Keys. Everyone was moved by the moment and the band thoroughly enjoyed her performance. The band played the music and the singers from the band became her back up singers. It was truly a great moment.
The band played some other favorites for the bride and groom as well, to include more songs from Coldplay and also the cool pop song “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I.

Around Town Entertainment was honored to perform for this great wedding couple.

April 26, 2014 at the Essex House in New York City for the wedding of Sarah Spigleman and Joshua Richter!
What a special evening for this incredibly happy couple and their families!
Sarah and Joshua chose the Around Town Band from Around Town Entertainment.
They began the evening with a heart warming ceremony. Elegant sounds of romantic classics greeted the guests as they readied for the beautiful bride to walk down the aisle.
The stunning bride circled her groom seven times as is part of the Jewish tradition while the pianist played one of her favorite song “Look to The Rainbow” by Yip Harburg.
The crowd cheered as her groom broke the glass, concluding the ceremony, and the bride and groom couldn’t have seemed more excited to be married! They and their guests left the ceremony with the processional song by “Spring” by Vivaldi.
The cocktail music was spirited with some favorite jazz swing selections as the guests prepared for a night of dancing.

As the guests entered the beautiful ballroom, it seems they were ready to go! It took no time at all for them to start dancing. And this was before the bridal party was introduced into the room!
The bride chose “All You Need Is Love” from the Beatles for her bridal party entrance song and “Power Of Love” by Huey Lewis for the bride and groom entrance.
After a well choreographed dance routine, the crowd went crazy as the traditional Hora music started.
It seems that that was the real spark that ignited the night’s energy. The dance floor remained full for the rest of the evening as guests danced to their favorites and the specific choices from the bride and groom.

When choosing her New York City 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 “Killer Queen” by Queen, “Grace Kelly” by MIKA and “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” by the Darkness. The groom even got up to join the band and played the guitar for his favorite song by the Darkness. He was an amazing fit with our New York City Wedding band from Around Town Entertainment!
The band also prepared a special song, “That Thing You Do” from the movie “That Thing You Do” for the maid of honor to sing and dedicate a song to the bride and groom. What a great song for the occasion and the perfect song for a New York City Wedding Band to play!

The Essex House in New York City is the perfect venue when looking for classic sophistication in New York City.
Cecilia DeAngelis coordinated the perfect event! Cecilia is clearly a person who is passionate about each event and wanting to make sure her clients are thrilled, and she could not have done a more amazing job!

Jason Kwinter from the Essex House was there as part of her team to add even more support to the overall success of the event.
