Exceptional

The best band ever!!! Outstanding, fun and easy to work with...They kept the wedding moving along at the right pace and kept everyone happy and dancing through the night...Henry Haid learned classical pieces for the ceremony that I asked for, and the music brought me to tears...
They played light jazz during the cocktail hour, which added variety to their style of music....
Everyone loved loved loved the music and the band!!!! Could not have asked for a better wedding day and Henry, Jackie and Only in America was a huge part of making it a special and hugely successful day!!!

Henry Haid and Only In America - A Wonderful Wedding Band!


The best way to begin talking about Henry Haid and Only In America is to mention how many compliments we received about them, both during and after the wedding! Simply put, they were wonderful from start to finish. Henry was extremely responsive throughout the whole process, and he and the band showed a lot of flexibility in honoring our requests to learn songs for our wedding. Jackie was a terrific emcee who took control of the party; we especially appreciated the fact that she politely asked our guests to listen to the various toasts! They are extraordinarily talented musicians whose love for the music they play shines through in their performance. We strongly recommend Henry Haid and Only In America for any event, or just to see them play throughout the Tri-State Area!

This is by far the best wedding band in NY/Long Island! Countless guests came up to my wife and I after the wedding asking for their name and number. Henry and the entire band are so passionate about what they do and know how to feed off of the crowd's energy. If you want a band that will have every guest on the dance floor the entire night, look no further then Henry Haid and Only in America.

We cannot thank Only in America enough. Henry, Jackie and team were FANTASTIC. They set the tone for the day with their energy and fun spirit. They provided us with an extensive list of songs across many genres to choose from and tailored the songs to our day perfectly. They took the time to learn our lesser known wedding song and performed it beautifully - probably better than the original. All of our guests continue to rave about how perfect the band was. We cannot thank them enough for the amazing experience and can’t recommend them highly enough!

Only In America Band made our wedding a Party! We could not recommend this Band more. Their ability to transfer from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga and everyone in-between provided a venue for all ages and all abilities on the dance floor. Henry and Jacqueline battled for best vocals as they either took the lead or blended in a duet. They also catered to our timeline and were professional throughout the planning process. When it came to budgeting our wedding, we agreed music was a top priority. Our only regret was not paying for additional brass because it's worth seeing Henry and his band of musicians.

Since our wedding, we have traveled to multiple live performances on Long Island following our wedding. This serves as a romantic Date Night, getting to dance Henry and Jacqueline since they play often in different venues. Everytime they see us in the crowd, our first dance song somehow sneaks in to their playlist. We now consider them close friends.

BEST BAND EVER!!! This is a FANTASTIC group of musicians!! They kept everyone dancing the entire night and really made the evening amazing. My now husband was able to perform with them, which made the evening even more special. Jackie and Henry made the night perfect and are superb at what they do. The band was the talk of the evening. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them, actually I say HIRE THEM. Your legs will be hurting for days!

These three amazing musicians played at what turned out to be my engagement party. My boyfriend and I hired them to play at a backyard bbq. Turns out he was planning to propose! Jacqueline was in on it and made sure all the parents were close by for the moment!! They totally nailed it!!! Looks like we already have the entertainment figured out for the wedding!! Highly recommended!! ❤️❤️

Only in America made our wedding absolutely fantastic. I was flooded with phone calls and texts from my friends and family stating, "what was the name of the band?!!" We had an afternoon wedding and the dance floor was packed! Henry Haid worked so closely with us from our entrance song, our exit song, and our wedding song. He is extremely talented, and the arrangements that he put together were extraordinary! Jackie's beautiful voice was absolutely unbelievable, accompanied by the wonderful musicians in the band. This band made our wedding!! Not only talented but a truly professional act. Highly recommended!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
