    Outstanding Wedding Entertainment!

    We made the best decision by hiring Bill’s Toupee for our wedding weekend! In the months leading up to the wedding, the band manager Mike was incredibly responsive, collaborative, and accommodating. I could tell the band was committed to making sure our wedding night would be very special and exceed our expectations…and it absolutely did! Our guests were on the dance floor all night long and we received so many compliments at our reception about how amazing the band was. On top of all being very talented musicians, the band members are all very kind and wonderful people. We are so appreciative of everything and highly recommend Bill’s Toupee for any couple looking for wedding entertainment.

    Blew our expectations out of the water!

    Bill's Toupee absolutely blew our expectations out of the water!! Our dance floor was packed all night, the older folks even got up for a few songs! Every member of the band is extremely talented. They have multiple lead singers, and I especially loved the saxophone - such a fun unexpected addition to current songs! They were easy to work with, responsive and their price is unbeatable for the level of talent! They charge half as much as some other bands in the area, which made me a little apprehensive if I'm being honest. They absolutely blew our expectations out of the water! They put on a killer show at an amazing price and I am so happy we hired them! They handled our ceremony music and played beautiful acoustic music pre-ceremony. We made a playlist for our cocktail hour and dinner, but they happily made sure our music played at the right times. Everything was perfect, they made our wedding so fun, I can't recommend them enough!

    Bill's Toupee took our wedding to the next level

    Just wow. Let me tell you, Bill's Toupee was the highlight of our wedding.
    There wasn't one song where people weren't dancing. Every musician in the band is extremely talented, and you can tell they love what they do. While guests were entering the reception, we asked them to play "Summer Wind" by Frank Sinatra. I immediately got at least 3 texts, one of which summed it up perfectly - "Oh my god, this band!". Needless to say, I was jealous I wasn't out there yet!

    We also asked them to play a song beloved by the bride's late Uncle, which they did with no problem. They know the classics, pop songs, even a few chainsmokers songs, they do it all.

    During the planning process, they were responsive and easy to work with. We worked with them on a "do not play" list, giving them an idea of the vibes we were going for. The band took it from there, and man did they nail it. Lastly, other (probably far inferior) bands we looked at cost twice as much as them. In short, Bill's Toupee is the band you want. Your search is over.

    Bill's Toupee is the best!!

    Bill's Toupee was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process! They are absolutely incredible. They communicate quickly, are so kind, and know how to keep people on the dance floor the entire night! They went above and beyond to make it a great party. Our wedding guests are still raving about how AWESOME they were! I cannot recommend them enough!! If you are considering booking them... DO IT!

    Don’t sleep on booking this band for a fun wedding!!

    From the groom: Bill’s toupee was an amazing band in general, not just a wedding band. They played all the hits and got the crowd to have a phenomenal time. Every guest had a positive thing to say about the band, and we had a pretty eclectic group of people at our wedding. The amount of soreness in my legs and back from dancing and hoarseness of voice from all the yelling and cheering is a testament to their ability to rock the crowd for hours on end. When my wife asked me if we should add another half hour, I couldn’t say yes faster. From a musicians point of view, they were tight and really seemed to enjoy playing with each other. I can’t say enough things about every member of Bill’s Toupee and would recommend them a million times. If you guys are seeing this, thank you for helping make our wedding the best night of our lives!


    As the bride adding a quick note - Mike and the band were so easy to work with!! Didn’t pressure sell me with date scarcity and were always super pleasant and quick to respond but also very low key and didn’t need to be micromanaged lol. One of my favorite vendors to work with and when meeting them it all made sense!!! They also took requests patiently and were so so nice even as they were packing the up and winding down the night even after adding the extra time on a whim (it was a no brainer!)

    Amazing experience with Bill's Toupee!

    We had the pleasure of having Bill's Toupee perform at our October 2023 wedding, which was a highlight of our big day. It has been 3 months since our wedding, and people still tell us how much they loved the band.

    Amazing band

    We are so happy we went with Bill's Toupee for our wedding. They were incredible from the acoustic guitar in our ceremony to rocking the house in our reception. They had everyone dancing and singing! We had so much fun. Incredibly professional and kind, they took into account all the details we requested and made it all happen. Thank you for making our day so special! Highly recommend.

    Awesome experience, highly recommend!

    Bill's Toupee performed at our wedding in September and they were amazing. From the beginning, the band was very easy to work with and accommodating. They made sure all details were covered before the big day, so we didn't have to stress about the timeline of the evening. The instrumental music during cocktail hour was lovely, and they did a phenomenal job serving as MC during reception. Once dinner was over, our guests did not leave the dance floor -- everyone was singing along and dancing the night away. This band is incredibly talented. Would highly recommend couples book Bill's Toupee for their wedding.

    a no-brainer!

    😍 Got married this past weekend and the Bill's Toupee crew really took the event to another level.
    Was really great to work with before the event, and then were great to work with the night of. No added stress, which both my wife (!) and I are super grateful for.
    The band read the energy perfectly and kept the party going wonderfully.

    Bill's Toupee brought the party!!

    Bill's Toupee totally blew us away at our reception. They kept the party going and the dance floor rocking. We can't say enough about all the talented musicians in the band - their skill, groove, versatility, and stage presence - but we have to give a special shout-out to MJ who absolutely crushed it with her incredible vocals all night. Our guests had a blast and we are still hearing compliments about the band. You will not be disappointed by Bill's Toupee!

    Bill's Toupee or Bill's TO PLAY!

    We had Bill’s Toupee perform for our wedding and they were AWESOME! I couldn’t speak more highly of this band. They were extremely fun, engaging, and had everyone dancing the entire wedding. I had (and still have) countless people tell me how this was one of the best wedding concerts they have ever been to. Not only were they great performers, they were also very easy to work with (and reasonably priced). They tailored their music and playing style to exactly what we were looking for. A true hidden gem – do not overlook this band!!

    AMAZING wedding or party band!

    We had Bill's Toupee for our wedding on 9/18/21 and it was the best decision we made for entertainment for our special day! They were professional, fun, and were experts on reading the crowd for song choices. EVERYONE was constantly on the dance floor and my husband and I still have people telling us what a great band they were. We had the best night thanks to Bill's Toupee! Thank you!

    Brought the party!! And great to work with.

    We are SO glad we went with Bill's Toupee for our wedding. All of our guests raved about how much energy they brought to the dance floor. My brother, who's really into live music, said it was like going to see a show. Mike and everyone was also great to work with. The band was super flexible about when we postponed our wedding due to COVID, and they were really responsive by email and text.

    New Year's Eve Wedding

    This band will not disappoint. Absolute pros. They are excellent musicians, made great song selections and also super easy to work with during planning. The energy and fun they bring to the room is absolutely electric. Our party wouldn’t have been half the fun without them.

    Guest were raving as they danced straight through until the final song. They will make your wedding one to remember!

    Thanks Mike and crew!

    Big dance floor energy!

    It's been a month since our wedding and we are still getting messages from family and friends about how much fun they had on the dance floor! Mike, the keyboard player and manager of the band, was super easy to work with right from the beginning. He's done this hundreds, if not thousands of times and his advice to us was not only helpful in the planning process but absolutely true on the day of our wedding! The whole band played so well together, giving the whole night an amazing energy and vibe. They played a great mix of songs that got every single table up and dancing.

    Truthfully, the music and dancing were so fun, that we barely sat down to have dinner and we missed dessert entirely! Bill's Toupee is that rare mix of professionalism and talent. They were flexible, willing to listen to all of our requests ahead of time, and they even learned one of my favorite songs, "How Long Will I Love You" for the processional. It was a very special moment, made possible by their enthusiasm and talent. You will be in the best of hands, and will have one less thing to worry about. Do yourself a favor and bring Bill's Toupee to your wedding or party!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    What can I say about Bill's Toupee! I was referred to them from a co worker and let me say can they keep a party going. Mike ( Keyboard and manager) was a pleasure to speak with when discussing the wedding, the music and any request. He can tickle the ivory! Bob (the drummer) what a kick ass drummer. WOW! Mike A. (Guitarist) played during my cocktail reception and rocked the house during the reception. John (vocals) MC'd and also was on the floor singing with my guest and singing with Delecia (vocals) who's vocal range was mind blowing. A guest came up to me and said "I though it was a recording till I realized she was live!" Ricky (bassets/ vocals) What an amazing basset/singer ! He, Delecia and John we interacting with guest, me and on the floor with us! They kept the party with high energy, fun, dancing and amazing music! I had a blast with them. You should see them live. Thank goodness I can see them when ever they play at local events! So, my party time with them wont just stop at my wedding! Follow them on Facebook! Ricky, the basset also captured some of my wedding on photo and video! Which meant the world to me he shared them on their page. Since I have not seen any photos from my wedding these were some of the first, and the first videos I saw. It made my day! I love this band! From cocktail hour to last dance it was top notch and best band a Bride and Groom can ask for! I look forward in seeing them again at local events!

    Amazing band!

    Bill's Toupee did an awesome job at our wedding! We could not have asked for a better band!!! The dance floor was packed the entire evening, and our guests keep talking about what an amazing band they are. Each band member is an impressive musician on their own, and together they are insane. The band was very professional and organized, and Mike was responsive and easy to work with during planning. We also really enjoyed the acoustic guitar at the ceremony, and keyboard during cocktail hour. We can't recommend Bill's Toupee highly enough, and hope to catch them at one of their shows in the future!

    Look no further ! Bill's Toupee is your band.

    Bill's Toupee was the perfect choice for our wedding ! They were playing music for us from the start of the ceremony up until the end of the night and it was amazing ! They got everyone up on the dance floor dancing the night away. It is obvious that this band has been playing together for many years and they are a set band thats strives for excellence. Mike the band leader was highly organized from top to bottom and even helped us play some one-off requests last minute. We could not have been happier with the band choice we made and would ALWAYS welcome them back for additional parties and events to come. They are professional, passionate and kind and will bring all the fun to your wedding reception. We are so glad that we chose Bill's Toupee over a typical agency band because they music and entertainment was absolutely perfect and we cannot thank them enough for their amazing performances.

    Best band ever!

    Bill’s Toupee is the best! I learned about this band through a friend of mine who used them for her wedding. The weekend I got engaged, I called them and booked the band before we even booked our venue! Mike was a pleasure to work with all the way up to our wedding. And on our actual wedding day, the band rocked it! We were dancing all night long and everyone had the greatest time! If you are like my husband and I and appreciate live music and talented musicians, than Bill’s Toupee is the way to go!! Best band ever!

    We are a family of musicians and are Uber-critical when it comes to music. In fact, there have been very few wedding bands I’ve heard over the years that I even find tolerable lol! That being said, Bill’s Toupee exceeded our every expectation!!! Every guest and family member raved about their talent. They made it look easy. We are soooo happy we put our trust in them. Perfection!

    From the minute our guests walked in to our reception Bill's Toupee had them moving. The band rocked the house all night and the dance floor was always packed; even my husband and I never left the dance floor! Mike and the band are experts at reading the room and played the perfect mix of songs to keep everyone happy and all without any cheesiness. It is now months later and we are STILL getting rave reviews about fun our wedding was and how incredible the band is. If we could give Bill's Toupee more than 5 stars we would!

    We are so happy we selected Bill’s Toupee as our wedding band. I knew I wanted a band as I think they are classier and more personalized than a DJ. They even performed years ago at my aunt’s wedding! They sounded great and got our guests pumped all night long; I’ve never been to a wedding where people were dancing before dinner was served! We had a special request for our first dance song - Budapest by George Ezra - and they delivered! It was beautifully performed and afterwards we got a ton of compliments. It was also great they traveled from the Hudson Valley up to our venue in Albany. I would pick this band again and again! They might have a silly name, but they are the best wedding band around!!
