Edward’s plan was to propose to Hillary on top of the Omni William Hotel in Pennsylvania after a gorgeous dinner. It was a starlit night, the cool breeze felt beautiful until Edward got down on one knee. Hillary could tell that he had worked so hard, saving money for the ring. She really appreciated it! He ended up picking the most romantic engagement setting he could find. 

When the time had come, Edward gazed into Hillary’s eyes, popped open the ring box and then… before he could say anything an older woman reeking of alcohol came out of nowhere, grabbing his shoulder and leaned into his face. “Is he PROPOSING???!!!!” she screamed.

Everyone on the roof stopped what they were doing and stared at them and the elderly drunk woman with pink hair. They both stood there mouth gaping and Edward said softly, “Well ma’am, I’m trying to.” Drunk lady’s husband came running across the roof, apologized profusely and led her away as she yelled, “They’re gonna get marrriiieeed,” to anyone that would listen. Edward shrugged, looked at Hillary and said, “Well?” Hillary said, “Ok.” And that’s how they got engaged!

Fast forward to their wedding on October 31, 2020 at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, Pennsylvania! The couple invited Around Town Entertainment to play on their special day. They chose the award-winning Altitude Band for the reception.  

Skytop Lodge is one of the most coveted wedding destinations in the Northeast and the wedding band were honored to play in front of Edward and Hillary’s for their very special day! The ceremony took place at Skytop Lodge’s infamous Formal Garden. Over 100 friends and family took their seats as they waited patiently for the couple to walk down Skytop’s dramatic outdoor staircase. As the pianist from Around Town Entertainment performed “Samson” Regina Spektor, the bride headed towards the aisle in stunning fashion. When the bride finally kissed the groom, the wedding pianist played “Signed Sealed and Delivered” as the two walked off into the sunset.

The party continued in the Evergreen Ballroom Courtyard for cocktails and the reception. With soaring ceilings and magnificent crystal chandeliers flanked by a wall of French doors that lead out into the Evergreen Gardens, The Evergreen Ballroom was the perfect setting for an intimate wedding. A jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment delighted the crowd as they enjoyed fine cocktails and laughter. Then, it was time for Around Town Entertainment’s Altitude Band to take the stage. 

The Altitude Band started with a very unique cover of “Masquerade” from Phantom as the bride and groom entered the building. The band created a very specific rhythm while also making it dramatic enough to be true to the song with bass sticks and drum patterns that made it a theater feel. Next, the wedding band played “Love that Girl” by Raphael Saadiq as the newlyweds made their first dance. Then, the father and daughter had their own duet to  “Tupelo Hone” Van Morrison. The mother and son had their dance to Nat King Cole “Ramblin Rose.” After dinner and cake, the dance floor was packed all night as the Altitude Band sang songs Four Tops, Perry Como, Rick James, and Halloween themed music to finish off a truly remarkable night!  

Best wishes Edward and Hillary!

Brittany and Michael had been dating for a while and they both knew they were going to get engaged because they had looked at rings together. They actually had already been planning the wedding, but Michael hadn’t actually asked. So you would think that there is no way that there would be a surprise, right? Ha! Wrong!

So it just so happened that on New Years Day 2018 – they have a family tradition of eating Chinese food and getting excited about fortunes. Michael’s sister’s boyfriend got up to help grab the fortune cookies and to pass them out to everyone. Everyone is cracking into their cookies when Brittany says “oh, look I’ve got two fortunes” then she yells (in front of the parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandpa) “#&%* Off!”

It turns out her fortune cookie said “Will you marry me?” and she thought Michael was playing a trick on her! Lo and behold, he wasn’t! She turned next to her, he was on one knee, and the rest was history! 

They enlisted the award-winning Around Town Entertainment to perform at their wedding because they both have been a big fan of their unique performances and talented musical style for many years. The wedding band brings high energy experience to every event in Maine, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. The bands have elite, talented and studied musicians that have toured with some of today’s top artists. They have been featured as artists and musicians in their own right on major records and have graced some of the world’s biggest stages. 

On October 12, 2019, Around Town Entertainment traveled to The View Point Hotel in York Beach, Maine for Brittany and Michael’s very special day. The panoramic Atlantic Ocean and historic Cape Neddick Lighthouse provided an ideal backdrop for a classic ceremony outside. 

A pianist from Around Town Entertainment played a mix of classic love sounds like “You and I” Stevie Wonder, “Unchained Melody”, “How Long Will I Love You” Ellie Goulding, and more while guests walked in and seated. When the bridesmaids and flower girls walked in, the pianist played an instrumental piano version of “I Will Always Love You” Whitney Houston. Then, the bride walked down the aisle to “I Can’t Help Falling in Love” Elvis sung by the uncle of the bride. The bride and groom exchanged vows and made their first kiss as the pianist played  “Whole New World” Aladdin while friends and family cheered them on.

After that, pictures were taken and the cocktail hour began. Around Town Entertainment provided a jazz trio that played classic blues to set the mood while guests enjoyed View Point Hotel’s beautifully landscaped lawns. From the lush lawns to the ocean-front terrace patio, this was one of the most beautiful venues on the East Coast.

Immediately following cocktails was a beautiful reception held in the outside tent. The Around Town Band from Around Town Entertainment played “This Will Be Everlasting Love” Natalie Cole as the  bride and groom made a dramatic entrance through a granite staircase to the reception tent. Then the bride and groom held their first dance to “Feels Like Home” Chantal Kreviazu. The father/daughter had a touching moment as the pair performed a dance to “My Girl” Temptations. The mother/son also had their intimate moment to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. After that, there were more dancing as guests packed the floor and enjoyed cover songs of Bruno Mars, The Temptations, Walk the Moon, and so many more to end a fabulous night!

Congratulations Brittany and Michael!

After several years of resorting to online dating, Jenna and John finally found luck on their side.  Jenna found John in the lobby of the Marriott Irvine Spectrum in California, watching sports of course. The two of them enjoyed conversation and cocktails at the rooftop bar, not realizing a couple hours had already flown by. With the sun setting and not wanting the evening to end, the two of them decided to extend the date through dinner. Jenna was drawn to Keith’s love for music and the San Jose Sharks! Keith was attracted to Michelle’s radiant smile, passion to be kind to others, and strong work ethic. 

After a few short days of texting, it didn’t take long for them to connect again in person. Jeff recommended a newly opened rooftop bar. He offered to pick her up, as a gentleman should. On the way to dinner John noticed Jen had lip gloss on her teeth. He leaned over from the passenger’s seat to confirm, which prompted the two to have their first kiss! Cute!

Over tacos and margaritas Jenna and John shared stories of their childhoods and painful educational experiences. When it came time to pay the tab Jenna pulled out her credit card. John was nervous that she wanted to pay or go Dutch, but after a few exchanges of who should cover the bill Michelle said, “I’ll pay, because I choose.”

Jenna and John would make plans to see each other again over the next several months. Just a few weeks shy of their one-year anniversary, Jeff and Jenna decided to take a last-minute trip to Maui. Keith convinced Michelle to go on a helicopter ride, under the pretense of it being a “photography opportunity” for his friend, Joe. The helicopter landed on a cliff for a little intermission/break when Jeff got down on one knee, and asked her to be his wife.

Jeff and Jenna spent the rest of their week in Maui celebrating with Mai Tais and sharing the good news with family and friends! Then, they contacted Around Town Entertainment immediately to have the wedding band play at their wedding because they both love hearing unique covers of their favorite songs!

They had their wedding ceremony and reception on October 26, 2019 at Shorehaven Golf Club in Norwalk, Connecticut.  Around Town Entertainment had planned a very special playlist for their special day and were so excited to perform in front of their family and friends. 

The day began with cocktails from a jazz trio provided from Around Town Entertainment. Guests were treated to classic jazz hits to warm up the evening as family and friends waiting patiently for the bride and groom to make their grand entrance.  The 100+ guests were enjoying mingling and dancing around the bar.

After that, the guests made their way to The Main Ballroom for the reception. As Jenna and Jeff made their way to the dance floor, The After Party Band from  Around Town Entertainment performed an electronic cover of “Five More Hours” Deorro. Following that was a father/daughter dance to “I Lived” One Republic.  Then, the mother and son danced to “My Wish” Rascal Flatts. Following that, was a beautiful and touching tune cover of “Sweet Lovin’” Sigala during the cake cutting ceremony. The party continued as the The After Party Band played hits from Taylor Swift, Kygo, Whitney Houston, and more! 

This was another beautiful showcase by Around Town Entertainment. Around Town Entertainment is proud to have been chosen as the best CT wedding band, NY wedding band, and NJ wedding band in 2020. 

It was love at first sight. This was Katie and Jeffrey’s first trip out of the country.  Both of them were in their 30s and spent most of the last decade single. But they met and fit with each other so fast! In one of the most romantic cities in the world- Paris!

Katie was under The Eiffel Tower when her attractive smile drew Jeffrey to initiate a conversation. He wanted to see if there was chemistry and interest. After a little back and forth, Jeffrey asked Katie out for dinner. Their first date was something like two and a half hours long! After they hung out, they couldn’t wait to get to know each other more!

After a few more dates, they found that there was a lot of commonality between the two. Even the premarital therapist told them that they were the most compatible couple she has ever met! We second that! 

They also had experience with the foster care system and had individually decided that we wanted to adopt kids in the future. His professional background as a social worker opened doors for deeper conversations about Katie’s experience being adopted as a child. Another unique aspect of our relationship is that they got engaged less than a year after their meeting in France! Wow!

Both of them were excited to begin planning their dream wedding. However, there were times where they were stressed out too. Fortunately, a close friend of theirs told them about the Authority Band from Around Town Entertainment. That friend used the same wedding band for their special day and everyone loved it! Katie and Jeffrey were so relieved to find a wedding band for their big day and booked them very quickly.

On October 24, 2020,  Around Town Entertainment packed up their instruments and traveled to  Ram’s Head Inn in Shelter Island Heights, NY. The Ram’s Head Inn is gorgeous in any season, and fall is no exception.  The venue and setting was magnetic, genuine, and beautiful!

The evening started with cocktails and jazz music from a bassist, guitarist and pianist from Around Town Entertainment. Guests sat in leather chairs and mingled while the working fireplaces made the fall wedding reception warm and welcoming. After that was the main reception as friends and families waited anxiously for Katie and Jeffrey to make their grand entrance.

Emerging from the curtains, the spotlight shined on the newlyweds as they made their way to the dance floor. The Authority Band from Around Town Entertainment played a cover of “Into the Mystic” Van Morrison as the bride and groom held their first dance. Throughout the evening, the dance floor was packed with singing and dancing all night. Friends and family were living their best life  and enjoyed their time celebrating with each other.  Some of the songs played included favorites like “Sorry” Justin Beiber, “I Want You Back” Jackson 5, “Proud Mary” Tina Turner, and so many more!

Around Town Entertainment’s decades of music experience will ensure that your special day runs smoothly and seamlessly. Every song list is prepared carefully according to your every request.

Talya and Adam had their first kiss in January of 2017 at a bar called Nomad in New York City. Adam chose it because it happened to be a few blocks away from his apartment. Slick move! Then they went nearby to McSorley’s for an additional drink and went their separate ways after that. 

The next night, Adam was out to dinner with his family and coincidently, he bumped into Talya again. So they decided to meet up in the East Village later in the evening for drinks again. He left on a work trip to India the next day and came back on Valentine’s Day. 

Adam took Talya to a wonderful Japanese dinner in Tribeca. Since that date, there hasn’t been a day that has gone by that they didn’t speak. There was an instant spark between them and they couldn’t get enough of each other. It was even more special that they had similar tastes in art and music!

One month after dating they knew they had to get married. The first thing they did was call up Around Town Entertainment. They asked us to perform at their wedding. From there, Around Town Entertainment helped them create a carefully designed playlist that catered to their own personal song recommendations and most popular requests. They picked the Altitude Band, a 12 piece band which included 5 lead vocalists, piano, bass, drums, guitar, sax, trumpet and trombone- the perfect selection for their needs!

They had their wedding day on August 25, 2019 at The Angel Orensanz Foundation in the Lower East Side. Built in 1849, the building is considered to be the oldest reformed Synagogue in the United States. The ceremony starting early evening as the violinist and pianist from Around Town Entertainment  played slow, instrumental wedding ballads as the bride walked down the aisle as guests awed in amazement. As the bride made her grand entrance, the groom looked stunning in his black tuxedo anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new bride to be. After exchanging vows, the two had their first kiss while the pianist and violinist played “When You Need Me” Bruce Springsteen.

After that, it was time to move to the mezzanine for cocktails. Guests enjoyed sitting back and enjoying drinks from the balcony while observing the jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment play classic rhythm and blues. The guests loved every second of it as they danced and mingled around. 

The party continued in the Main Floor, where the 200+ guests packed the room to witness the bride and groom’s grand entrance. The couple made their grand entrance as Around Town Entertainment’s Altitude Band performed an uplifting version of “You Make my Dreams ” Hall and Oates. After that, Talya and Adam enjoyed their first dance to “Stand By Me” Ben E. King. Then, the father had his dance with the daughter while the wedding band performed an intimate cover of “When You Need Me” Bruce Springsteen. The night ended with classic disco music throwbacks from Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Bee Gess, and so many more as the music radiated from speakers facing the sanctuary.

This was another beautiful showcase by Around Town Entertainment. Around Town Entertainment is proud to have been chosen as the best NY wedding band, NJ wedding band, and CT wedding band in 2020.

Danielle moved to New York City in the summer of 2015: her third city in 5 years! Wow! She finally landed a dream job working to combat educational inequity in the Bronx but was still on the hunt for a dream partner. A friend from NYC introduced her to Jerry and that became her first real love interest in the new city. 

Jerry was a lifelong Yankee fan and season ticket holder. Danielle started to lose hope after a few days of unanswered messages when they first started talking, but decided not to hold a once-in-a-lifetime World Series run against him. The two finally settled on a date the weekend after the Yankees lost it all at a pizza place near Danielle’s apartment. It was very clear that they were on the same page from the very beginning. The conversation was normal and easy. They had so much in common!

About a month after the first date, Jerry invited Danielle to a concert with him and his group of friends. It was the first time that she really got to see what his life was like and the kind of person he was outside of our one-on-one interactions. He was even more kind, funny, and genuine than she had thought. Even though they had come from different backgrounds, their views and similar music tastes aligned perfectly. 

From that point on, she knew that they would have a future together. They would return to the same pizza place a year later for a surprise engagement party with their closest family and friends after he proposed. So original!

They decided to have their wedding on November 1, 2019 at Hudson House in Jersey City, New Jersey. They invited Around Town Entertainment to perform on their special day and of course, we couldn’t refuse! This was an elegant space that left us  with memories to be cherished for a lifetime!

The day began with a dazzling performance by a pianist from Around Town Entertainment. The pianist performed “A Thousand Years” The Piano Guys as guests took their seats. Then, the bride walked down the aisle to “Can’t Help Falling In Love” Haley Reinhart. After the bride and groom made their first kiss as newlyweds, the pianist played “Beautiful Day” U2. 

The celebrations moved to the Hudson Room for cocktails where the jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment performed classic jazz hits to warm up the crowd while they soaked in the breathtaking views of New York City. The 300+ guests were having the time of their lives as they danced around the bar and floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

After that, the guests made their way to The Grand Ballroom for the reception. The wedding band, Around Town Band from Around Town Entertainment, played “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” Stevie Wonder as the new bride and groom entered the building. Following that up was a very soft, touching version of Beyonce “Halo.”  The wedding band then performed  ‘Unforgettable’ by Nat King Cole as the father had a dance with the daughter.  Celebrations continued as the Around Town Band played hits from Bruno Mars, Cassie, Prince, and Mary J Blige! What a fantastic ending to an epic night!

It was early 2015. September and summer was slowly winding down. Ryan had just finished a month-long vacation in Europe with old friends and he was not sure if he really wanted to jump into the dating scene but hey, why not?

A day after he connected with Christina on Bumble, he received a message that was sweet and right to the point! Christina asked Ryan if he wanted to meet for dinner. At this point Ryan was shocked. Girls messaging guys first? That never happens!

Their first date was far from perfect- Ryan almost fell off of a chair at the wine bar he chose in the East Village. The stars were fighting for alignment because following that date they went on 2 others that week, including dancing inside Christina’s favorite music venue Brooklyn Steel.  

It was on that date, Ryan shared with Christina his love for the same music and many more things they had in common! It was also the first time in years that Christina remembered feeling so calm, happy and relaxed. After some time away for travel, they finally found themselves committed and about a year later…engaged!

Fast forward to October 13, 2019- the day they invited Around Town Entertainment to play at their wedding! We traveled to The Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island to perform for them. This place was massive!  The day started in the Outdoor Gazebo where a pianist from Around Town Entertainment warmed the crowd before the bride and groom walked down the aisle with a proper ballad of Canon in D. The bride made her grand entrance to Elvis Prseley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love With You. The music continued as the bride and groom made their first kiss to “Wedding March”. 

After that, guests moved to the Main Ballroom for cocktails and the reception featuring Altitude Band from Around Town Entertainment. The wedding band’s jazz trio played classical music in the background while guests mingled and relaxed on leather chairs.  

When drinks were finished, it was time for Around Town Entertainment’s Altitude Band to start the main event of the evening.  The wedding band opened with “Thriller” Michael Jackson while the bride and groom did their best impression of the legend. Next up, Ryan and Christina had their first dance to “Wild Horses” Rolling Stones. Next up, the father and daughter had their own duet to  “Love on the Brain” Rihanna. Then, the mother and son had their dance to The Beatles “In My Life.” 

The wedding band continued to turn heads and bodies the rest of the night by incorporating a very fun and high energy playlist until the end of the night. Guests were singing along to songs from The Killers, Drake, Outkast, Sia, and many more! What a night!

On a cold autumn night in October, Corinne was bartending in Williamsburg, and her friend was doing a shot with this guy at the end of the bar. Immediately, she was like, “Who is that?” She immediately noticed Ken, and I was like, “Oh my god, this guy is very cute.” So after during her work shift, they started talking, and he bought her a drink. 

Ken recalls her exact words-, “I’m not making drinks for anybody else. I’m doing the shot with him!”  They didn’t even exchange numbers that night after talking for hours.. Luckily, Ken came back to the bar a week later, on a chill Sunday night. Corinne was  getting off her shift when she saw Ken. So they decided to hang out for a minute and grab a drink at the bar.

There was a DJ and a lot of dancing. Then they went over to another bar in Bushwick. They were hanging out at the bar and talking, and finally had their first kiss there. Super laid-back—casual and easy!

Fast forward just a couple years later, they were planning their wedding at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, Pennsylvania! The couple enlisted Around Town Entertainment to play on their special day.

The ceremony took place at Skytop Lodge’s Formal Garden. Over 50 friends and family took their seats as they waited patiently for the couple to walk down Skytop’s dramatic outdoor staircase. As the guitarist from Around Town Entertainment performed “A Thousand Years” Christina Perri, the bride headed towards the aisle in stunning fashion, flanked by the beautiful gardens surrounding the very important persons of the day. When the bride finally kissed the groom, the wedding guitarist played “Paradise City” Guns n Roses as guests cheered and sang their hearts out.

The party continued in the South Lawn for cocktails and the reception.

Allison and Patrick met all the way back in November 2014 in Yorkville. Patrick and his friends were going out every single night. On night four or five, a couple of them rallied: “Let’s just go to a local bar, nothing crazy.” 

The first time Patrick saw Allison, he drank enough to have courage and go talk to her. After exchanging numbers, Patrick went back to his friend’s apartment feeling pretty giddy.

Patrick texted two days later, on Saturday morning, and asked Allison to go out that night. They got along instantly, had the same music tastes, and never wanted the night to end. After bar hopping, Allison ended up inviting him back to her apartment with a bunch of her closest friends. They discovered that, the entire week, he had been staying in the apartment directly above hers! They had crossed paths a million times!

Marcus and Melida were both photographers. They met in August  2013 outside Dominique Ansel Bakery in Soho.  How appropriate is that they met in the Cronut line! Remember the craze that summer? 

Marcus was actually there to take pictures of the line. It was already around the block at six in the morning! Coincidentally, Melida was also there taking photos too—that’s how they started communicating. The two quickly hit off and when she got home, she emailed him right away asking him for some souvenir photos for the day.

It wasn’t until months later, they decided to meet. She suggested they go back and get Cronuts! Eventually, they decided to meet on a Saturday morning. Waiting two to three hours and getting to know each other without being drunk wasn’t so bad after all. They both had a similar taste in music and most importantly, really good conversation. 

Later on, in October, J. Cole came to town, and they just became even more obsessed with each other after attending the show. From then on, they would go to different music shows throughout the city—Brooklyn, the Bronx almost every weekend! 

After a while doing this, Marcus finally proposed on a sunny Sunday afternoon. He chose Grand Central because it’s one of his favorite places in New York- so magical! He felt a little bit nerve-racking doing it in public, but it also added to the adrenaline rush! A minute or two later, it was over! Now it was time to plan their wedding!

Immediately after their proposal, they requested Around Town Entertainment to perform on their special day. Of course, we were available and delighted to play in front of their friends and family! 

On October 11, 2020, they had their very special day at The Crystal Room in Staten Island. It was the perfect setting for a lifetime of cherished memories. The day started with a beautiful ceremony as the pianist from Around Town Entertainment set the mood with an emotional ballad as guests entered the building. The music continued as bride and groom made their entrances to the alter while the wedding pianist played another song. Then, it was time to celebrate the bride and groom’s first kiss, officially becoming a married couple. After that, guests sat back and enjoyed cocktails while Around Town Entertainment’s jazz trio played classic hits all the way from the 80’s to the 90’s. 

Next up, Around Town Entertainment’s award-winning Around Town Band set the stage to turn up the celebrations in the reception hall. The wedding band opened with “For Once In My Life” Stevie Wonder while the bride and groom made their grand entrance. Their first dance was to “Vision of Love” by Mariah Carey. Ending the night, the wedding band played songs from Michael Jackson, Rick James, and many more! We were delighted to see the guests dancing and laughing all night long! They were definitely living their best life!
