Wedding Entertainment at Lotte New York Palace
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians for the Villard Mansion and its ballrooms.
Gilded Age rooms deserve a golden evening
Behind its gated Madison Avenue courtyard, Lotte New York Palace joins the 1882 Villard Mansion — carved walnut, La Farge murals, the barrel-vaulted Gold Room — with grand ballrooms and views of St. Patrick’s Cathedral across the street.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. From an intimate mansion wedding to a full Villard Ballroom celebration, we shape the music to the rooms — processional, cocktails and a dance floor with Gilded Age glamour all around.

What entertainment costs at Lotte New York Palace
Entertainment for a Palace 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.
