The best!

Maggie Speaks is the best wedding band in the country!!!

The whole process from initial inquiry to wedding day was so smooth!

We were able to add on a stage to our contract at a later date when we saw it could fit into our budget.

Choosing songs was such a fun part of the process! Their song list is extensive - there is nothing they cannot play!

The vocalists are top notch! Each one is unique and they come together to cover every genre of music you could think of!

The band leader was able to be an MC as well - they announced everything from the speeches to special dances.

They read the room throughout the night and every musician on stage gives so much energy, so there was absolutely no lull on the dance floor! It was constantly packed as they were engaging with the guests the whole time!

Anyone who is conflicted between a DJ and a Band - the band is always worth it! It is 100% a full concert experience.

We had many people say our wedding was “the wedding of the century” and I have to give most of the credit to Maggie Speaks!

Amazing! Your event will be transformed!

This truly set our wedding a part from several others I have attended and also stood in (15 to date!) Who wants a dj….plug in a smart phone for that. What we got…an interactive performance. Professional from beginning to end…behind the scenes and during the wedding these pros will make your night the experience of a lifetime with the love of your life! Our MC was taken care of and made the night run smooth! Then into to dancing…where the true memories were made. EVERYONE raves about the band all night! EVEN AUNT PHYLLIS DANCED! Everyone will want to dancing and have fun from 8-85 they play it all! Easy to work with, can handle and accommodate all your needs, and talent to knock the socks off of AUNT PHYLLIS. You have found it…trust me!

Wedding Band

Spoken 4 was the band we hired for my son’s wedding in Milwaukee, WI. The wedding was at the Pilot House at Discovery World on 10/21/23. The band was outstanding! My son-in-law said that he never sat down the whole night! Many of our guests asked me who the band was because they had so much fun! The band played non-stop and played contemporary, fun music the entire night. They were even able to read the crowd and sprinkle Latin Music in.( My son-in-law is from Colombia) It truly was the party feeling we were looking for. I would recommend Spoken 4 enthusiastically!
