Skylark Music

Skylark Music is a wedding music group based in Beacon, NY, founded in 2015 by musicians Jesse Stacken and Justin Keller. The two first performed together as members of the Disney Collegiate All-Star Band before launching their company to bring customizable music services to couples throughout the Hudson Valley region. The duo specializes in providing ceremony and cocktail hour music, plus DJ services for receptions and parties. Justin contributes vocal and multi-instrumental talents while Jesse provides piano and keyboard accompaniment. Their repertoire spans jazz, classical, rock, folk, and contemporary favorites. They work closely with couples to curate playlists and accommodate special song requests with consultation throughout the planning process. Skylark Music offers flexible ensemble options, performing as a duo or expanding to include additional musicians and instruments for larger celebrations. They guide couples through selecting music ensembles, repertoire, and reception playlists tailored to each event. The company has earned The Knot Best of Weddings awards consistently from 2022 through 2026, including Hall of Fame recognition.
