What Entertainment Works Best at Pendry Natirar?
Pendry Natirar’s mountain and valley views create one of the most dramatic ceremony settings in New Jersey, making live music a natural fit from the moment guests arrive. The Grand Ballroom is versatile enough to support a band, hybrid, or DJ-led reception, while the property’s after party space allows the celebration to continue long after dinner and dancing. Elegant Music Group has performed at Pendry Natirar and built entertainment packages around its ceremony lawn, ballroom, and after party space, and the conversation about what fits your day is always free.

Why We Love Pendry Natirar
The ceremony space at Pendry Natirar has some of the most breathtaking views we work with, overlooking the surrounding mountains and valley below. It is a setting that is perfect for live music, the kind of backdrop that makes a string ensemble feel like it belongs there. The Grand Ballroom is just as special, a gorgeous main reception space where we always recommend uplighting to bring out the room’s warm architectural features.
What Entertainment Works Best at Pendry Natirar
The Grand Ballroom at Pendry Natirar is gorgeous enough that nearly any format works well, a DJ, a hybrid setup, or a full band. If a couple is bringing in a full band, we recommend renting a stage, it’s a dynamic way to transform the room and give the band its own presence. After the main reception, Pendry Natirar’s after party space sits back in the cocktail hour area, and we always recommend lighting there to keep that part of the night feeling just as intentional as the rest of the day.
Ceremony Music at Pendry Natirar
Given the mountain and valley views from the ceremony space, a string quartet or string trio is a beautiful match, live strings feel right at home against that kind of backdrop. A violin and cello duo also works well for a more intimate moment. Classical guitar is a nice option for a softer ceremony feel.
Cocktail Hour Music at Pendry Natirar
A jazz trio brings the right elegant energy to cocktail hour at Pendry Natirar. An acoustic duo is a great option for couples who want something a little more relaxed while guests take in the views. Solo piano also works well for a quieter, more understated cocktail hour.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: A flexible option for the Grand Ballroom, with an event host who can read the room and keep the night moving from dinner into dancing.
Hybrid: Brings live energy and the best of both worlds, with a saxophone or percussionist layered into the DJ set.
Band: A strong fit for couples who want a fully live reception, especially with a rented stage to give the band a dynamic presence in the room.

"EMG did an excellent job with our wedding. With everything they offer, we were able to easily customize our wedding. From the string trio at the ceremony and cocktail hour, to the DJ at the reception, we received so many compliments! There wasn’t a lull in music at the reception and Matty G did such a good job at communicating and making sure our needs were met! We were also able to add on a digital seating chart which took a huge burden off our shoulders! We can’t recommend these guys enough!"
"Caleb and the Elegant Music Group team were great to work with and our guests absolutely loved their performance at the wedding. We felt that they did a great job of getting to know us as a couple and capturing the "vibe" we were going for in terms of song selection and atmosphere, without needing every little thing spelled out for them. The performance on the night of the wedding went flawlessly, they are extremely talented musicians who know how to work a crowd and get people dancing. Our guests are still complimenting us on their performance months later."
"From start to finish the experience was great. In the initial conversation, they listened to our needs and then gave us their recommendations on how to create the perfect entertainment for our event. They are so quick to respond and pleasant to work with. We had Frank as the DJ and he had everyone up dancing. I would highly recommend and will personally also use them in the future. Hands down! "
