I have absolutely no words for this band. When I first approached Zach Dessel, he was so organized and so receptive to what type of vibe I was going for. I wholeheartedly wanted to avoid any cringe moments during my wedding reception that can often times come along if you hire a DJ, so I knew a live band was our choice. I was so lucky enough to have great conversations with Zach all throughout the planning process that I knew I had full trust in him to execute my vision and OMG….. it completely SURPASSED our expectations. We hired a seven piece band and provided them a set list with a mix of 2000s R&B, modern day pop, 70s/80s music, so we knew everyone was going to have something there for them. As soon as our dinner reception began the vibes they set out were INSANE. The singers were interacting with the crowd, even when they were at their seats, and encouraging everybody to start the party, even before the dance floor opened, and it got people on their feet and wanting to dance. As soon as that dance floor opened, not a single person wanted to leave it. I think we even should've gotten a bigger dance floor because everybody from all ages were rocking out and the band was so interactive with the crowd that it honestly felt like a concert!!!!!! The cocktail hour music was immaculate and they matched the mood perfectly -- even doing cocktail hour renditions of popular hit songs. Every guest walked away from my wedding saying it was the best thing ever and they still talk about it to this day. Literally everybody wants to get married again just to hire this band. They were professional, punctual, friendly, a pleasure to be around, and overall insanely talented — they even emceed and ensured the music transitions were smooth so there wasn't a dull moment at all. I can't believe I found them and I wish I could experience them for the very first time again. I know I said I had no words, but truly, if you book this band, you will have a GOOD EFFING TIME!!!!

I am a wedding coordinator that has worked with many a DJ and band and I can't fully express just how wonderful it was to work with Z Music. From communication with Zach in the months leading up, to the incredibly talented musicians and singers on the day of the wedding, they made my job so easy. I never had to worry about managing the band, which allowed me to focus on my other roles during the wedding day. Z Music was adaptable (fully outdoor venue), professional (sent over the best timeline I have ever seen from a band), and flexible (always having back-up songs to provide buffer when needed). Not only do I recommend Z Music to other couples, but I 100% recommend them to other venues and professionals. 10/10 will be adding them to my preferred vendor list. I truly hope to see them back at Living Stone. Special shout out to Jack, Aaron, Avery, & Brad — y'all killed it!

Z-Music Experiences brought down the house at our wedding! Every guest, young and old, said it was the best wedding band they'd heard. From the dance contest, to the MC's kind words, to the mellifluous voices of the singers, to the talent demonstrated across all genres, they delivered an unforgettable live show. Not only that, across all the bands we reached out to, they were the most professional, accommodating, and communicative, with Zach attending to all our requests before and during the ceremony — even navigating a potential rain storm hours before showtime. Highly recommend for your wedding or other events.

As a wedding planner, working with Z-Music Experiences from start to finish was a joy! They were professional, communicative, on time, prepared, and able to be flexible with any changes that needed to be made in the moment.

Z-Music Experience was absolutely amazing at our wedding! From start to finish, they delivered an incredible jazz performance that brought so much energy, elegance, and fun to our special day. Their talent is truly on another level — every song was played beautifully, and the vibe they created made the whole atmosphere unforgettable. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the band was. If you're looking for a top-tier band that will elevate your wedding or any special occasion, I highly recommend Z-Music. Thank you Zach!

10++++. There are no words to describe Zach and his group! They are definitely the "Best Band Ever," which allowed us to have the best time ever! People are still talking! Their attention to detail, their accommodating nature, their sound, their professionalism, and their enthusiasm can only be rated as top-notch perfection. They let us make our own list of songs and learned songs for us. Their ability to play such a wide range of music is just beyond belief! — Andy & Peggy

Working with Zach was easy when booking Z-Music Experience for my company's annual retreat. The band showed up on time for setup and did a great job engaging the staff. Everyone had a great time dancing and singing the night away.

We highly recommend Z-Music and are so glad we chose them for our wedding band. Our guests were very impressed too. They were exceptional from start to finish — keys at the ceremony, jazz at the cocktail hour, and full band at the reception. They performed classic wedding songs and even learned some more niche songs that we wanted. Zach was a pleasure to work with — friendly, accommodating, and very organized. An outstanding experience. They helped make our night unforgettable.

Zach and Co. were great! I met him at the Knickerbocker and asked him to play our holiday party — the trio of piano, bass, and drums were perfect and lively, and a great surprise for our guests. First of many — thanks Zach!

Working with Zach and the entire Z-Music crew for our annual Presidents Dinner at Lake Waramaug Country Club was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The booking process was seamless, and when it came time for the event, they absolutely crushed it. Their performance was vibrant and engaging, with an incredible range — from timeless classics to high-energy hits. I would recommend booking them 11 out of 10 times. We've already secured them for our next event!

Zach's band absolutely lit up the stage at my husband's birthday party last summer! Their energy was infectious, and the crowd loved every minute of it. The band's musical talent and charisma shone through, making the celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend for any event!

These guys were perfect. I didn't want the normal wedding band, and I felt like Zach had a real sense of what I was looking for. They are talented musicians with the perfect sense of when to make things a little more unique. They learned new songs for us and worked with us to make it a perfect night — and they can play standard wedding songs perfectly, too.

We had Z-Music at our wedding and it was the best choice! We had a jazz trio play for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were amazing, and having them elevated our experience so much. Zach was easy to communicate with and easy to get in touch with.

Easy to work with and flexible. Overall, just a nice group of guys who happen to be excellent musicians! Will definitely come back to them.

We were looking for a high-energy band that would make our wedding amazing — and these guys delivered. Their musicianship was exceptional and the vocals were fantastic. This is not your average wedding band, and we were so happy we didn't go with a DJ. All of our guests had so much fun and told us how great the band was. They accommodated every song request, no matter how unique. These guys took our party to a whole other dimension and were so easy to deal with. Thank you, Z-Music!

We hired Z-Music Experiences and could not have been more pleased with their seamless communication, pleasant demeanor, and professional service. The 7-piece band they provided for our corporate holiday party at Moonshine Modern Supper Club in Millburn, NJ was truly exceptional — upbeat, flexible, and able to keep the dance floor packed all night long. From the first planning stages to the final notes, the team was a joy to work with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a talented, reliable live band.
