About

Franklin Wayne music represents four extraordinary, high energy, contemporary and versitile dance bands.

Franklin Wayne Music was founded in 1972. We started as a booking agency for top-40 bands throughout Long Island, NY, and New Jersey. Shortly thereafter, we expanded to include road venues such as Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. In 1985, Franklin Wayne Music concentrated their efforts in the ever growing wedding market on Long Island. We found out at the time that wedding bands were just thrown together, unrehearsed, and not very dynamic. Since that time we have always prided ourselves on producing bands that were set units thoroughly rehearsed, and playing together each week.

To keep our bands contemporary, we always make an effort to introduce new, young, attractive, talented performers. Our bands sound like the original music and are always entertaining and versatile. We play all styles of music in order to please all age groups at your affair, but we can definitely appeal to a younger audience as well.

We feel that a band lends a certain degree of "class & elegance" to any formal affair. Nothing really compares to a great live band and we can assure you that the dance floor will be crowded from the first song to the last. Find out why Franklin Wayne Music is recommended by more caterers than any company on Long Island. Give us a call to be invited to one of our live showcases!

I can honestly say that having Entourage as our wedding band was probably one of the best decisions I made throughout my year of wedding planning. Three months after our wedding and our guests are still commenting on how amazing our band and music was! From the start, Rasheeda was the best to work with, she quickly responded to all of my questions and was always a pleasure to communicate with. They bring a level of energy to the dance floor that still makes me tired just thinking about. The dance floor was pretty much packed the entire night and it was truly just a FUN night. If you want to bring your event to the next level, don't hesitate in booking Entourage, you are not going to find a better band for the value on Long Island and they are unforgettable!

These guys (Entourage) were absolutely amazing. We were married Judy 8th over at Land's End in Sayville (best venue ever btw)! The band absolutely rocked. I dealt almost exclusively with the band's leader Rasheeda who was able to accommodate all of our requests including the singing of the national anthem before the color guard and presenting of the flag. Rasheeda was always prompt and courteous in responding to my emails and requests. Everyone was been raving about the band since the wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night and they read the crowd perfectly. We had guests of all ages and everyone absolutely loved Entourage. Don't miss out on these guys! Book them now!

Stop looking for any other band. These guys are the absolute best. The talent of the musicians is outstanding, and Rasheeda's voice is amazing. They played at my daughter's wedding at the Bourne Mansion, and the dance floor was full all night long. They played softly during meals so we could all speak to each other, and when dancing, they chose great songs that everybody loved. At the end of the night, the crowd would not let them go and demanded an encore! They agreed and ended a fantastic night with "Shut up and dance with me". Our guests raved about the band for days afterward!

I don't even know where to begin! Entourage is so incredible and made our wedding on July 17th the best night of our lives. Every single person told us how amazing our band was throughout the entire night!! The dance floor was full all night long, and Entourage blew my husband and I away with their versatility and incredible talent. They seamlessly played a variety of old, new, dance, and Italian songs (as requested)! Rasheeda, Eric, Michael, and the rest of the band are amazing people with wonderful talent!! We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone we know!

We booked Entourage Band for our wedding at Bridgeview Yacht Club and it was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was. They were extremely easy to work with, learned the songs we requested, and made sure to play a huge variety of music. I would definitely recommend this band

Decadia was amazing!!!! Everyone is raving about how great they were. They learned our wedding song (a country song totally out of their typical genre) and played it beautifully. They kept the dance floor packed. Band members are so friendly! We were so happy with our choice!!

Although it took awhile to write this review it does not take away from the fact that this band was so so amazing!!! John and I knew from the moment we went to see Entourage at a showcase we did not need to look further. they were every thing we expected and more. Our friends and family members are dancing fools and Entourage fulfilled every single persons wish. They had people up that claimed they don't even dance. Everyone keeps telling us how amazing the band was and of course we loved them. Working with Rasheeda was great. She is such a doll. She was so aware of our needs and what we wanted for our day and her guidance was professional and worked out better then we could have imagined. Thank you so much for helping in making our day wonderful and great for John and I and everyone of our guest. If you need a band that will keep your dance floor bouncing all night do not look any where else.

The band Élan was contracted for our wedding after we watched them play during a show case. This band was amazing at our wedding! Everyone had a great time dancing. There were certain types of music that we did not want to be played at the wedding and they really catered to our request. We could not be any happier wih the service we received.

Entourage performed at my daughter's wedding on August 16th. From the moment Rasheeda told us the order of entry into the reception to the end of the evening we were excellent hands. The dance was hopping from the moment we walked in to the final farewells. A week later and still getting compliments from our guest about the band.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
