We hired Damian and Genesis for our wedding, and they truly went above and beyond with all the bells and whistles! From our perfect GRAND ENTRANCE, they made every guest feel like a superstar. Everyone got to walk the red carpet and have their picture taken, and the photos made such a fun favor for everyone to take home. The vinyl photos of us on the doors were AMAZING, and the smoke machine for our first dance, along with our names shining on the dance floor, made every moment feel so special. Every little detail was perfect. And then there’s Damian! His attention to detail, professionalism, and that cute smile made everything even better. 😂 He made sure everything ran smoothly and helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. I was so impressed that I recommended Damian to friends who were getting married at the same venue, Sand Castle — and he was just as spectacular! Damian emceed their wedding, and the energy, music, and entertainment had everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. If you’re looking for someone who will make your event unforgettable and truly treat your guests like stars, I highly recommend Damian and Genesis! You will not be disappointed! ❤️

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.
Inside Hempstead House

We used Genesis for some rentals for our wedding and could not have been happier! The stage was perfect and the band said it was amazing!! We were super happy with everything and you made the experience seamless and were so easy to work with. Thanks for all your help and hopefully we can work together again in the future on another occasion.
Read on GoogleGenesis was absolutely amazing. They created the exact music and party atmosphere we had always imagined. We had DJ Yanni and MC Fabio, and they were both incredible. DJ Yanni's mixing skills were exactly what we were looking for. We wanted an early-2000s club vibe, and he absolutely delivered. He blended old-school hip-hop, current music, throwbacks, and classics perfectly. The dance floor stayed packed all night—literally no one sat down. MC Fabio was fantastic as well. He got everyone excited from the very beginning, and the party never stopped. We also booked our photo booth through Genesis, and it was such an easy process. The attendant was incredibly helpful, and our white flower wall backdrop was beautiful. The photo prints came out amazing, and everyone had so much fun. We added a saxophone player and violinist, and they were phenomenal. They played perfectly alongside the music and looked like they were having just as much fun as everyone else. Guests couldn't stop talking about them. We also rented the 8-foot LED robot through Genesis, and it ended up being one of the biggest highlights of the night. He had everyone dancing, handed out balloons to the kids, and kept the energy going all evening. I highly recommend having a giant robot at your wedding! Genesis was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. They also decorated our DJ booth beautifully. We added CO₂ cannons as well, which were such a fun surprise. Our guests were so impressed!
Read on GoogleWe couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, string quartet, & live musicians for our wedding! From the moment we booked them, they were professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. They really took the time to understand our music preferences and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The music and energy throughout the night were AMAZING! They kept everyone on the dance floor. They helped make our wedding night unforgettable, and we are so grateful!
Read on Google04.25.2026 we had our wedding at Bayview. Unico did an absolute amazing job. He exceeded my expectations in so many different ways. I had very precise instructions on how I wanted dinner to go (rnb sing a long style) and instead of delivering just that, he had everyone up dancing to the rnb play list. When I tell you, I was in complete shock at how someone can read the room so perfectly. He truly is one of a kind. Thank you for putting him on for my wedding. He will be highly requested for any event moving forward.
