Adam and Clerida performed as a cello and guitar duo at our wedding this past February and I cant say enough about them. We selected them at the recommendation of our wedding planner who had numerous positive experiences with them in the past, and right from the beginning we were grateful for our pick. Adam worked with us ahead of time to make sure that the they were in lockstep with our vision. The day of, they showed up early, were professional, and truly set the mood with their beautiful performances (lots of Beatles!). We had them for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour and Im still receiving comments of praise from our guests.I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

I HIGHLY recommend using The Music Dept for your next event. I reached out on a whim at the last minute with a unique request - a surprise socially distanced serenade for an anniversary, and was quickly connected with guitarist/singer Mark Aaron James who provided just the experience I was looking for. In the midst of a pandemic, no less. Overall, the process was a breeze. Their website is comprehensive, easy to navigate, and helped give me an idea of what to expect.

Adam is great to work with. He’s a one stop shop for all my corporate event live music needs. He has a range of artists and musical talent at his fingertips, and always gives me a nice selection of options for my clients and me to choose from. Most importantly, from a corporate event planner’s standpoint, Adam and his talent are reliable and always professional. It’s one element of the event I know I never have to worry about. The artists will show up on time, they will perform exactly as contracted, they will be professional, and my clients will be thrilled!

Adam and his team were absolutely phenomenal for our 2019 wedding. Not only were we impressed by their breadth of services (they provided a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour and a DJ for our reception, AND Adam served as the emcee for the evening to introduce us for our first dance, get the toasts done in a timely fashion, etc. The icing on the proverbial cake? My husband is a huge Star Trek fan and Adam and his team actually found the sheet music for the Next Generation theme and were able to play it as our recessional song leaving our ceremony. They of course helped make our day so special, but Adam is so collaborative and it also made the planning (which I did myself) that much easier. I could not recommend these folks more!

My wife and I hired the Music Dept for our October 2019 wedding and we could not have been happier with Adam bringing our wedding vision to life. We received many compliments on how wonderful and professional the ensemble was during our ceremony and cocktail hour reception. Its been a pleasure working with Adam and team, and we highly recommend them for anyone needing live music for their next party or celebration. Thank you for everything!

These guys are awesome. I know this because Ive heard them at a bunch of different Evening events Ive been at. Mostly holiday parties for a couple years. Their style is really that smooth jazz (at least that was their Playlist at the events I went to), so if youre looking for that, theyre definitely the band for that gig! Any time a friend of mine is thinking about doing a party or event, I happily refer the Larry Siegel team to them.
