Franklin & Alison Music absolutely exceeded all of our expectations and truly went above and beyond what we could have hoped for in a wedding band. If you're looking for a group that will keep your guests dancing all night long, look no further—this band is, without a doubt, the best value for your money!

From the very beginning, Sam, the MC, was a complete gem. He took the time to meet with us beforehand and understood exactly what we wanted out of the music for our big day. His attention to detail and personalization was top-notch. Sam also learned a last-minute song for us and sent us videos of his progress.

Laraine, the band manager, was equally fantastic. She was always available to answer any questions and made sure we felt completely taken care of every step of the way. Her quick responses and professionalism reassured us that we were in the best hands possible.

As for the band itself—WOW! They absolutely rocked our wedding. The dance floor was packed from start to finish. It didn’t matter if you were 20 or 80; everyone was on their feet, loving every minute of the live music. We had so many guests ask us for their contact information, which is the highest compliment we could receive.

If you’re in the market for a wedding band-- Just stop now and book this Franklin & Alison Music.

I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! We received compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people.
We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials.
From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

We could not have been happier with Franklin & Alison Music! Laraine was extremely communictive through the entire planning process and was phenomenal to work with. The band was amazing! Our guests are still giving us compliments on how much they loved the band. They read the vibe of the room from start to finish and our dance floor was packed the entire evening! You need to hire them for your wedding. It took our wedding up 10 notches and we are so thankful that we had the opportunity to book them!

I am so happy we hired Franklin & Alison Orchestra to play at our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and all the guests were raving about how great the band sounded. Nothing but positive things to say about this band. They really made the night extra special and it honestly couldn’t have been any better.

Franklin & Alison were unbelievably perfect all night long. They granted every request for the playlist, learned new songs (including our first dance) and every song sounded incredible, even changing voices and how they played instruments to match the exact sound and vibes of the actual versions of the songs. Keith also worked with the food vendors to keep everything on time and on task. Not only do they sound amazing but they know how to keep the timing on track and provide the best possible wedding night experience for you and your guests. They could not have been better!

The experience of working with Franklin & Alison Music was absolutely stellar! Their extraordinary talent transformed our day into a special and unforgettable experience - we couldn't have asked for a better band to play our wedding!

During the planning stages for our wedding we had a few lovely conversations with Laraine Alison, the band's manager. Throughout this process Laraine was a total professional and such a kind, warm hearted person. As folks know, planning a wedding can be a pretty stressful process, but it always felt like a joy to chat with Laraine.

During our wedding reception, the band performed as a jazz trio for the cocktail hour and morphed into a 10 piece dance band later in the night. During both of these sets, the band covered a repertoire that spanned both 20th and 21st century popular music. Classic tunes as well as modern favorites were each given their time to shine, resulting in a performance that appealed to guests of all ages.

Another truly remarkable facet of their performance was how well they sequenced the night of music. The setlist flowed naturally, and even during slower songs the band had no problem keeping our guests captivated. Oftentimes the band transitioned from one song to another without pausing or skipping a beat like true pros!

Franklin & Alison Music also honored a few special requests for us which we were so grateful for. We requested they play a few songs that were not included in their extensive songbook, including our first dance song. These special requests might as well have been tunes they were playing for years because they sounded fantastic! They also allowed me to jump up on the bandstand to perform with them as well! This of course is more of a niche request, but it was blast to play a few saxophone solos for our friends and family!

This is all to say, if you would like a band to perform at your wedding, look no further than Franklin & Alison music! I can assure you that working with them is well worth your time and the party they will help you throw will be unforgettable. To this day our party guests are still telling us how incredible the band sounded and how much fun they had dancing the night away.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Franklin Alison Band and their talented musicians! Their musical performance was the talk of the night at our wedding, and every guest said that the band made the event (and we agree). The band read the crowd throughout the evening and flexed their musical selections to make sure that everyone was up and on the dance floor.

The band learned our first dance (Ed Sheeran's First Times) and performed such a beautiful rendition of it that I thought it was better than the original version! Several performers also played during cocktail hour, and the jazz trio was the perfect addition to this part of our night.

I also want to comment on how genuinely lovely everyone in the band is. I lost my mom about a year before my wedding day. She had helped us pick the band before her passing, and so she had been in some communication with the band manager, Laraine. Between my mom's passing and our wedding day, Laraine emailed me several times to let me know that she was thinking of me and my family during this difficult time -- something that wasn't necessary but really meant a lot to me as the wedding approached. The band was able to hold space for some of the big emotions that everyone at our wedding felt, and I appreciate that they were able to both entertain while also being sensitive to the mixed emotions felt by many of us on our wedding day. In addition to being fantastic musicians, they are also great people who go above and beyond their actual job.

Some final pieces of information that helped us select this band for our wedding were: The band will not take set breaks throughout the night and will instead filter musicians in and out so that the music doesn't stop and start periodically. That was important to us, as we wanted to ensure continual music during our reception. We also liked that the band has been together for a really long time and doesn't switch musicians regularly (as this is something that does happen in other bands we looked at). These were key pieces of information that helped us to select them as our wedding band, and we could not more highly recommend them.

We were married in West Chester, PA on 6/24/23 and we hired Franklin & Allison Music. Our families have high expectations for music and we were confident Franklin & Allison would deliver - and they absolutely did! They played the perfect mix of songs (80s, 90s, etc.) and kept people dancing all night (despite the heat!). It was so much fun and we would hire them again in a second!

We picked Franklin & Alison Wedding Band because we had seen them at a relative's wedding! They blew us away that night and proceeded to blow us away again on our own wedding night. Laraine and Keith are so easy to work with. They have the knowledge and expertise to make sure that your wedding day is perfect. They masterfully worked with us to learn and highlight some of our favorite songs. They have an impressive range, with vocalists that can capture almost any song and talented musicians. Our guests were complimenting the band all night long! You will not be disappointed with Franklin & Alison Music!

Go with them! Their manager, Larine is very professional and friendly. We met multiple times in person before the wedding, they made sure your wedding goes smoothly without stress. The whole band was amazing. Their singers have amazing voices. My guests were very happy!!
