ADD-ON SERVICES

IN ADDITION TO OUR TOP-RATED BAND, WE OFFER A VARIETY OF ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT CAN ENHANCE YOUR EVENT OR SERVE YOUR NEEDS:

GREEK DANCERS: 

Our Greek Dancers of New Jersey / New York, consists of a group of 5+ professional young adults who are Greek-Americans, and are dedicated to perpetuating their heritage through enthusiastic performances of the regional folk dances of Greece.

Their traditional music and folk dance is representative of a cross-section of these diverse regions, past and present. Our group always performs in authentic ethnic dress and their wardrobe represents many regions from which the dances originated, including: Dodecanesa, Crete, Cyprus, Epiros, Macedonia, Thrace, the Peloponnese, Epiros, the various island groups; and Pontos, Cappadocia, and Ikonion in Asia Minor.

PRIVATE INSTRUMENT LESSONS:

BOUZOUKI LESSONS BY KONSTANTINOS REVELAS:

Konstantinos soon became strongly attracted to the magnetic energy of Greek music and began learning the roads of the bouzouki and various other musical instruments. He has collaborated with musicians and artists from around the world, and has performed everywhere from large stages to small taverns, and from city streets to sailboats on the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas.

His electrifying improvisations and soulful melodies capture the heart of each listener. Konstantinos draws inspiration from Bouzouki artists and legends such as his father Demetris, George Soffos, Jordan Filippidis, Jack Gregory Halikias, John & Nikos Tatasopoulos, Vasilis Tsitsanis, Manolis Hiotis, and many other musical gems in his communities.
As a modern bouzouki artist, his philosophy is that of preserving the traditions and tonalities of the old world while progressing the boundaries of global sound and musical expression. In 2019 he introduced the Greek Bouzouki as a principal instrument of study at the Berklee College of Music, and is now performing, recording, and teaching in the United States.

PIANO LESSONS BY PAUL DENESIDIS:

Paul Denesidis is undoubtedly one of the outstanding talents of the tri-state area in the United States. Paul, who is also our band’s musical director and sound engineer, was born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece.

At the age of 19, he obtained the Piano Diploma with first prize and continued his studies on sound engineering at IEK AKMH of Thessaloniki, Greece, which he gratuated with honors at the age of 22.

Paul has earned several prize-winning pianist awards in Greece throughout his 15+ years of professional performances and teaching, and also creates professional recordings for several popular music artists up to this day.

LAOUTO LESSONS BY VASILIS VASSILEIADIS:

Vasilis was born and raised in New York City and lived there until the age of seven, where he then moved with his family back to his motherland, Karpathos, Greece. Vasilis finished school on the island of Karpathos (graduated high school in 2004). He has been playing the laouto instrument (Greek lute) since the age of eight. Vasilis comes from a musical family, who started out playing Greek Island Folk Music and later extending his knowledge and repertoire to include genres from all parts of Greece, inclusive of contemporary styles. After graduating High School, Vasilis attended College in Crete and followed years of professional music classes, where he continued to build his musical skills, through Cretan and Island music. As his musical talents grew, Vasilis was given opportunities to perform with well-known Greek artists and performed in many events during radio shows as well as Greek TV channels. Vasilis returned to the United States in 2013 to pursue a career in accounting and has been a key factor of our band, Pelagos Entertainment, ever since its establishment. Vasili performs at all types of events across the United States with the rest of our band. He also teaches several young kids and adults the Laouto instrument and is also a very active member at several Greek Orthodox Churches in his area. 

UP-LIGHTING:

Up-lighting is growing rapidly in popularity in the wedding scenes these days. It is hard not to notice lighting at wedding receptions and seeing how creative the couples can be. “What is up-lighting”, you may ask? Up-lighting is when lights are placed on the ground and aimed to project light off the wall or at a particular object. You can use up-lighting to enhance the whole reception and bring life to the room.
If you are thinking of adding spice and a personal touch to your wedding do not forget to add color. Bring some flare in with colored up-lighting and it is sure to add to the mood of your BIG day!

DANCING ON THE CLOUDS:

You’ve been practicing your first dance moves for months and have a performance nailed that is worthy of being featured on Dancing with The Stars. You picked the most epic song. There just needs to be a finishing touch to elevate the first dance to the highest level possible. That would be in the clouds.

With a dry ice machine, you can create an illusion that you are in fact dancing on clouds. Your wedding guests will be thrilled, Wedding photographers and videographers love it when the couple hire a dry ice machine. Video teams can get creative and produce footage that looks like you are the stars in a romantic movie. The photos will be epic. For the amazing imagery alone the dry ice machine is well worth the investment.

• 100% pure dry ice effect
• Zero chemicals
• Silent
• Odorless
• Will not trigger any smoke alarms.
• Stays low to the ground.

COLD SPARKLER FOUNTAINS:

Dazzle up your wedding day by adding the sparkling and spectacular fireworks effect.
Add shimmer to the stage and brighten up the dance floor! This effect is 100% non-
hazardous and safe. Use them to attract the attention of your guests which is always
best to use these as a surprise as guests go wild when they see them in person!
The Cold sparkler machines create a high stream of bright sparks that have a
temperature lower than 62 degrees, which makes them safe enough to hold directly to
your hand or to a piece of paper without burning it. The lower temperature of the sparks makes these machines an ideal effect for indoor or outdoor use.
This effect is perfect for the grand entrance (such as a first dance) and the grand exit as
well as cake cutting or the beginning of the open dancing. They really do provide that
“wow factor”.
Combined both Dancing on the Clouds and the cold sparklers to get a notch extra
elegance to your wedding. This effect is a very popular and very modern way to
separate your event from the rest!

PHOTOBOOTHS:

With our latest addition to our services (photo booth option at your event),
your guests will be raving about the fun & excitement they had using it! In
addition to photos, you can also capture GIFS, Videos, & the latest trend…
BOOMERANGS! The experience also includes digital props or face/glam
filters that you can add to your guests’ creations. Guests can then send their
creations directly to their phones via text, airdrop, or QR code (no prints),
which allows easy sharing to social media! A live gallery to share all the
content with your guests is also available after your event!

Why having a Photo Booth is a great idea for your next event / special occasion?
1: Instant Gratification
Ever since we started using our smartphones for photos, we forgot how good it
feels to have an actual, real print in our hands. Often, pictures and memories are
reliant upon a phone, a screen, and an internet connection! With a photo booth, you can take that goofy photo with a relative you haven’t seen in years and
received a photo instantly.
2: Sharable Images
Some photo booth features work better digitally (such as slow-motion video,
animated gifs, or a 360- degree video booth). We do our best to provide best
quality products so that you can take your photo booth experience to the next
level!
3: A photo booth “breaks the ice”
No matter the size of your event — big or small — there’s always something that’s
needed to break the ice. Photo booths are an easy way to bring people to talk,
interact and laugh together! Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a holiday party, or
a corporate gathering, a photo booth is an easy way to get people together. Not
only that, but you have a photograph as evidence!

After being in the entertainment business and producing large private and
corporate events, we have seen the benefits of having the right mix of
entertainment to keep your guests engaged and bring them together. Our passion
and our goal are to help you to make your occasion the most memorable one
possible!

Pelagos Entertainment now provides different size televisions for all your special occasions! We have
linkable TVs so you can create a special effect and size to your party! We have LED TVs, LCD TVs, 3d TVs, 4k TVs & Plasma TVs.

and videos for your guests to watch and enjoy during your event!

CO2 Cryo Jets:

Cryo Jets are great attention-getters and accent to any performance! Co2 Cryo Jets effects provide
unique and energetic special effects for all live events.
Cryogenic special effects use compressed CO2 gas in different ways to create an impact that engages
your audience for almost any type of live event! Cryo (or Cryogenic) and CO2 rentals work in both indoor
and outdoor environments.
