Paramus, New Jersey, – Scott Hornak, CEO of Craig Scott Entertainment, the area’s foremost provider of music for weddings and special events, announced that WeddingWire, Inc. has honored the company with its 2016 WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award. WeddingWire Inc. is the leading global online marketplace connecting consumers with event and creative professionals.
The award recognizes the top five percent of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. The esteemed awards are given to the top local wedding vendors in more than 20 service categories based on their professional achievements from the previous year.
Winners of the Couples’ Choice Award are determined solely based on reviews from the personal experiences of real newlyweds. Award-winning vendors are recognized for the quality, quantity, consistency and timeliness of the reviews they have received from past clients.
“Craig Scott Entertainment is proud and excited to receive this coveted award in the music category,” said Hornak, “and we’d like to thank our clients for taking the time to give us such high marks. We value all of them and truly appreciate the positive feedback they’ve given us.”
Scott Hornak, CEO of Craig Scott Entertainment, announced that, for the fifth consecutive year, the company has received Manhattan Bride magazine’s “Best Of” award as an outstanding vendor in the music category.
Citing superior standards of service, quality and reliability, Manhattan Bride said the award is given only to vendors who are, “Outstanding – in their knowledge of their field and in their professionalism, Reputable – in that we have received only positive reviews and comments from their clients, and Reliable – in addition to being on time and on budget, they follow up with care and insight.”
“We’re thrilled to have received this award every year since 2012,” said Hornak. “It’s an exciting way to start 2016 and a great indication of the consistency of our service and dedication to high standards.”
“The primary goal at Craig Scott is to provide a wide variety of quality, creative entertainment, performed by the very best local musicians, making the process easy and the event memorable,” Hornak added. “It’s very gratifying to be recognized in this way.”
Scott Hornak, CEO of Craig Scott Entertainment, today announced that the company will donate the services of the renowned Craig Orchestra to perform at the Hugs for Brady Foundation’s annual Winter Gala on March 5.
The Hugs for Brady Foundation, whose slogan is, “Helping Kids with Cancer, One Hug at a Time,” is a non-profit organization established to help children battling pediatric cancer and assist in research to find a cure. Sherrie and Michael Wells started the foundation in 2009, shortly after their 13 month-old son, Brady Michael, was diagnosed with Non-Differentiated Acute Leukemia, a very rare form of leukemia. In 2010, Brady passed away at 23 months of age, after bravely battling the disease for ten months.
Craig Scott, the area’s foremost provider of music and entertainment for weddings and events, will donate its 10-piece orchestra, along with Sinatra-style singer Stan Gilbert, to help make the gala even more special this year.
“This is the first time we’ve been a part of Hugs for Brady. It’s something we feel very strongly about and we hope that providing our orchestra for the event will help increase awareness and raise some critical additional funding,” said Hornak.
The Winter Gala will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 5 at The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset, New Jersey. For more information on the Hugs for Brady Foundation or The Winter Gala event please emailswells@hugsforbrady.org

NEW YORK, December 17, 2009 – When celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera, needs a band to save a wedding at the last minute he turns to Craig Scott Entertainment for the perfect solution. For an episode of My Fair Wedding on WeTV, Craig Scott Entertainment assigned their renowned band, Escapade, to set the right tone for a wedding in desperate need of some glamour.
“We are thrilled that Escapade could be part of the show and deliver the wedding experience that the bride deserved,” says Scott Hornak, CEO of Craig Scott Entertainment, which represents Escapade. “It’s an honor for one of our bands to work with David Tutera and it was a very fun wedding for everyone involved.”
David Tutera’s new primetime show, My Fair Wedding, airs Sunday nights on the WE network. His mission is to help a wedding on the brink of disaster and turn it around to give the bride the wonderful wedding she envisioned.
In this episode, David is called upon to help Corryn Conyer from Harlem, NY, to deliver a glamorous Hollywood wedding. When David takes over there is less than two weeks left until the big day, yet he forges ahead and changes the venue, gets Corryn a proper dress and engagement ring, arranges flowers and selects the right entertainment for the occasion.
Escapade is a very well know band in the New York City area having played many events and weddings in the city and its surrounding. For Corryn’s great Hollywood wedding, David Tutera asked that the Escapade male band members dress white dinner jackets in order to complete the experience of the 1950’s era.
“The band looked amazing in their white dinner jackets and black gowns. It was very special and added a nice touch to the whole evening,” explains Hornak. “David wanted the band to make a big statement and set the mood not just musically but also visually.”
Thanks to David’s expertise and attention to detail, Corryn received the fairy tale wedding that she had dreamed of. Escapade was an integral part of making the wedding a success and provided a night of entertainment like none other.
Craig Scott Entertainment and Escapade are proud to have collaborated with David Tutera in giving Corryn the glamorous wedding she wanted!

Oct. 11, 2013 – PARAMUS, N.J. — The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland was the scene of a very special event on Thursday, August 1, when the Craig Scott Orchestra entertained a group of “Wounded Warriors”, their families and hospital staff.
“We met some Wounded Warriors at The Friars Club in New York City and were so moved that we decided we wanted to do something for them. We approached the club’s Gift of Laughter Foundation and they set it up,” said Scott Hornak, CEO of Craig Scott Entertainment. The 11-piece orchestra and its sound crew traveled to Bethesda by chartered bus and were joined for the show by The Stone Brothers and Broadway legend Len Cariou. They performed for 90 minutes to a delighted crowd, playing a wide variety of material – from standards to Motown to current hits – concluding the show with Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” and, of course, Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American.”
According to its mission statement, the goal of the Wounded Warrior Project is to “foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history, to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members.”
The orchestra is Craig Scott’s original, and flagship, entertainment offering and this night it consisted of bass, drums, guitar, keyboard, 2 trumpets, trombone, sax and several vocalists – including a Sinatra-style singer and male and female R&B artists. “We wanted it to be uplifting and inspirational for everyone,” added Hornak, “and we’re so glad we did it. On the way home after the event, everyone on the bus was saying how good it felt that we’d done something to make people feel better. We’ll definitely be looking to do more of the same.”
