Our Foundation and Future Innovation
Built on Family
Every meaningful celebration begins with family — and so did our story.
In his teenage years, our co-visionary Josh founded Blazin’ Beatz, driven by a love of music and a natural instinct for bringing people together. What started as a young entrepreneur’s dream quickly became something more — celebrations filled with energy, connection, and memories that lasted long after the final song.
As our passion grew, so did our vision. Together, we built what became known throughout the Hudson Valley as Party With LB — a name families trusted for milestone moments, packed dance floors, and celebrations that felt both joyful and deeply personal.
Elevated with Vision
Over time, we realized that weddings and milestone events deserve more than great entertainment. They deserve coordination, artistry, and a team working in harmony behind the scenes — ensuring every moment unfolds beautifully.
From that realization, The Hudson Valley Event Group was born.
Today, we unite luxury entertainment, photography, and cinematic film under one thoughtfully aligned organization. While our services have expanded, our foundation remains the same: honoring family traditions, celebrating love stories, and creating experiences that bring generations together.
We are proud to serve weddings, mitzvahs, and celebrations across the Hudson Valley’s most distinguished venues — carrying forward the same passion that started it all, now strengthened by structure, leadership, and experience. As we look toward the future, our commitment remains simple: to continue evolving while preserving the heart behind every celebration.
