Wedding Entertainment at Hempstead House
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians for the Gold Coast castle at Sands Point.
A Gold Coast castle deserves a storybook celebration
Rising over Sands Point Preserve, Hempstead House is the Gold Coast’s storybook castle — a Tudor-style Guggenheim estate of soaring stone halls, grand windows and grounds that reach toward the Long Island Sound.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury Long Island weddings since 2008. In a great hall of stone and glass, sound and light demand real craft: music that fills the space without overwhelming it, and an evening staged to build from a graceful ceremony to a full dance floor.

What entertainment costs at Hempstead House
Entertainment for a Hempstead House wedding is quoted to your celebration, not sold off a shelf. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, and many couples build from there with a bilingual MC, live cocktail-hour musicians, ceremony sound and custom lighting design.
Because every element is optional, the most useful next step is a tailored quote. Tell us your date, guest count and the moments that matter most.
