We hired Phase 5 to play at our art museum wedding reception. They rocked! We could not be more pleased with their performance and professionalism, and we believe they were a true component in creating our reception’s party vibe and providing great entertainment throughout the evening. Great energy. From the beginning of wedding planning, my husband was adamant about having a live band to play at our reception. We were very picky with our selection, and were extremely thorough in our research. Josh and his band came highly recommended as an up-and-coming band from our wedding planner and other vendors in the industry, and several large corporate vendors in the Tampa Bay area including the Florida Aquarium. My husband and I both agree that we are lucky to have found Phase 5 early in their entrance into the wedding circuit as soon they will be the most sought-after band in the industry!!

The band’s song selection and vibe not only appealed to our friends who are in their late twenties, but was enjoyed by our grandparents and great aunts! One of my mother’s favorite memories of the night was watching her parents dance at our reception. The playlist ranged from Frank Sinatra to Cee Lo Green’s “Forgot You” and of course, included Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” as a tribute to my husband’s favorite baseball team. Every song played seemed to keep everyone on the dance floor and was a hit. When the band was taking a break, Josh stepped in and acted as DJ for the interim and maintained the evening’s flow. The band’s guitarist also played acoustically during our outdoor cocktail hour.

Josh was very friendly and easy to work with. He and his band approach a wedding as a performance and have already “rehearsed” your wedding’s set list in advance so the band is able to easily flow from song to song and keep everyone on the dance floor. They learned the words to, practiced, and performed our request songs beautifully - our first dance (“You are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne), the father-daughter dance (“Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle), and our bridal party entrance (“Marry You” by Bruno Mars). Josh is incredibly talent and numerous people complimented his voice throughout the evening.

Josh also provided, for an extremely affordable fee, a speaker and sound system set-up for our garden ceremony, which was held at a different location than the ceremony, so that the pastor and our exchange of vows would be heard clearly.
 


Josh of Inspire Entertainment is an asset to any wedding. His sophisticated, classy demeanor allows the bride and groom to be the star of the day! His music selections are always spot on. Likewise, his lighting design adds so much to any event. Working with Josh is always a great experience.
