Brooklyn Wedding Band
A live wedding band for Brooklyn's lofts, warehouses, gardens and waterfront rooms, from DUMBO and Williamsburg to Red Hook and Greenpoint.
Inquire About Your DateMost of Brooklyn's wedding venues began life as something else: a savings bank with a cast-iron dome, a metal factory in DUMBO, a 1916 building once used for classic car restoration, a former rope factory in Greenpoint, a warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront. Couples come for exposed brick, big windows and views back across the East River.
Our dedicated New York team plays across the city, and Brooklyn rooms suit every way we perform: the full band at 7 to 11 pieces, Eddie and Gabby as a duo for a smaller loft, or DJ Hybrid, where a DJ anchors the night while live musicians move through the crowd. Across the river, we have performed at the Rainbow Room and Tribeca Rooftop.

Planning a wedding in Brooklyn
Stairs, freight elevators and one door
Converted factories and warehouses can mean stairs, a freight elevator or a single door off the street. Send us the venue's load-in details when you book, and our sound engineer arrives two hours early to work around them.
Brick, glass and skylights
Hard surfaces make a room lively, and a skylit hall like Weylin or the main room at 501 Union carries sound a long way. We set levels in the room itself before your guests arrive.
A ceremony at the Garden
At Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Atrium comes with access to the Cherry Esplanade for ceremonies. Our guide to wedding ceremony music covers the choices, and a ceremony ensemble can run from solo keys to a quartet.

Brooklyn wedding band questions
Is DJ Hybrid a good fit for a loft wedding?
Often, yes. The DJ keeps the music moving while live musicians, such as electric violin, saxophone, guitar or lead vocals, play among your guests, which suits an open room where people are on their feet all night.
Our Brooklyn venue asks every vendor for insurance. Can you cover that?
Yes. We are fully insured, our certificate of insurance is written to meet the venue's requirements, and we can share a copy of the policy if asked.
Our playlist runs from soul to hip-hop to indie. Will you learn songs you don't already play?
Yes. We always learn special requests. Put them on your Music Form with your must-play songs, and we build them into the set list.
