Testimonials
Weddings
Murray Hill Talent has been producing entertainment for weddings in New England and New York since 2006. We have become a fixture in the industry and a trusted recommended service provider for many of the finest venues, catering companies, wedding planners and repeat clients.
On any given weekend in the summer you can see one of our wedding bands loading equipment into a Boston hotel or a Newport mansion. Our string ensembles cross the Sagamore Bridge en route to a Cape Cod resort, while one of our DJs is mixing a dance set at a rustic barn in Vermont. Party goers can be seen dancing to our Latin dance band in a New York loft, all the while our classic soul groups are echoing in tents along the lakes of New Hampshire. Private residences, country clubs, and wineries all vibrate with the pulse of Murray Hill Talent’s bands, disc jockeys and musicians.
The weddings we provide music for are a reflection of the diversity we embrace. No matter what religious background, sexual orientation, culture, or ethnicity, we have the experience and working knowledge to ensure the wedding you envision becomes reality.
We didn’t become a fixture on the New England wedding circuit simply by creating a flashy website and waiting for the calls to roll in. We have reached our goals by being assertive and working hard as our performers. Our staff is comprised of musicians and DJs who have worked on a combined total of over 10,000 weddings. Many are also active members of International Live Events Association, North Shore Wedding Professionals and the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau.
We consistently rank as one of the top vendors on sites such as Weddingwire, TheKnot, Yelp & Google+. Our company and events are featured in many of the most popular wedding publications and blogs such as Style Me Pretty, Carats & Cake, Brides, Destination Weddings, Martha Stewart Weddings, Huffington Post, Borrowed & Blue, Maharani Weddings, LulaWed, Weddingbee, Offbeat Bride, and more.
As a full service entertainment company, we offer our clients lively dance party bands, disc jockeys, ceremony and cocktail musicians. We also provide room uplighting, photo booths and wedding ceremony microphone systems.
Events
We are Boston’s top resource for corporate events, fundraisers, summer outings, day cruises, conventions, in-store events, restaurant entertainment, fashion shows and trade shows. On any given day, Boston buzzes with our artists. Our Revolutionary Fife and Drum group opens up a general session at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, while our jazz band, Twilight, sets the scene for a mixer at a Back Bay hotel. Aerialist bartenders serve cocktails from the ceiling and an ’80s tribute band packs a dance floor at a company holiday party. DJs spin uber-cool tracks at roof-deck soirees and steel drummers greet guests for dockside cocktails in the Seaport District Well-dressed socialites stepping out of cabs at black tie galas will soon be entertained by Murray Hill Talent’s hottest headliners, dance bands and specialty acts.

So many options. We represent just about everything.
Some of our clients know us for our phenomenal Boston wedding bands. Some call on our Disc Jockeys to rock the party. But did you know we are so much more than that? In addition to the plethora of musical options, we can hook you up with living statues, photo booths, lighting, dancers, costumed characters, and much more. To paraphrase Walt Disney’s famous quote, “If you can dream it, we can find it.”
It’s all in the details. And there are a LOT of details!
Just because we’re so diverse, doesn’t mean we don’t put the same care & attention to detail in every event we’re a part of, regardless of the size and scope of the event. Our full-time staff meticulously confirms every detail with you and your venue coordinator to be sure our bands, DJs, musicians and entertainers know the arrival time, any special song requests, timing & location of all the formalities and any other details that your wedding or event may involve.
Weddings & Corporate Events – two very different animals.
Our bands, disc jockeys and musicians know there’s a vast difference between entertaining a crowd at a wedding and a corporate event. While both event types can include all walks of life, from every age, culture and ethnicity, a wedding generally focuses on the one common thread – the married couple. Generally their vision is followed through by our band or DJ, and all guests are along for the ride. A corporate event may feature a particular theme or style, but the name of the game is making sure every demographic is represented, and all guests are appeased.
We go everywhere. We’ve been everywhere.
While most of our bands, disc jockeys, musicians and entertainers hail from Boston, we’ve traveled far and wide to perform at weddings, corporate and private events throughout New England, and beyond. Our bands and DJs can be found rocking a wedding at resorts on Cape Cod or in Newport, or up in Maine, Vermont, even New York, DC and the Caribbean! And since each locale has its own unique vibe, we need a variety of artists who can fit in with your vision. Hip, modern & upscale bands & DJs for Boston weddings, acoustic musicians for a pastoral, rustic wedding or summer party, laid-back summer-y music for beach events on Cape Cod, and something for everywhere else.
