You’d be a fool to go with anyone else.
As soon as we sat down to begin planning our wedding, the only request that I had was that we find a live band. Before we even knew that we’d get married at a concert venue, my main concern was solid entertainment. I’m here to say that Toni, as well as every member of the whole Project Orange experience, played a key role in making our night the greatest of our lives. Nearly every guest - from close musician friends, to family members who couldn’t carry a tune - made a point of commenting on how unbelievable the music was. The energy was infectious and the dance floor was packed every second they were on stage. What I found most impressive was when they created medleys full of left-turns, jumping between multiple genres and different eras with ease. Every age group had something to hold onto.
I found Project Orange on a huge list of wedding bands who cover the Northeast, and reaching out to Toni was the greatest thing I could’ve ever done. Even though the band does not do showcases, I felt completely confident with their services from the start. The previously recorded content was top notch, and every interaction was handled with the utmost professionalism. Working with Toni is a breeze. You’re given a copy of the repertoire, and you pick what would work and what wouldn’t. From there you’re provided with your own private concert, personalized completely to your taste. Best of all, Project Orange is significantly more affordable than all the other pre-packaged, manufactured (and slightly sterile) wedding bands making the rounds. Do not for one second think that this has any impact on the quality of the product. You will not find another band more genuinely talented and authentically fun than Project Orange. -

I'd always dreamed of having a wedding band, but was never impressed by what I saw... until Project Orange. I saw them perform at a wedding in 2019 and was absolutely blown away by their style and vocals, and the way they kept the guests dancing all night long. When it came time to plan my own wedding, they were our first and ONLY choice! Hiring Project Orange was a big investment for our budget, but we prioritized music over other extras and it was worth every penny. As a band leader, Toni understood this. She was responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. Once we got closer to the date, she coordinated directly with our planner and venue.
For our big day, we had a guitarist during the ceremony, a keyboard player for cocktail hour, and the full band at the reception. The band really "understood the assignment" setting the mood and dressing the part for a funky and special celebration. Bride, groom, and guests were on the dance floor all night. We're still getting compliments on the music months later. Everything exceeded our expectations. We are SO glad we hired Project Orange and hope everyone we know will hire them so we can enjoy them all over again. -

Sore feet and big smiles guaranteed!
This band was amazing! VERY talented group of people, with great energy. At times I thought I was not at my wedding and instead witnessing a concert. They were so easy to work with, very flexible throughout COVID and had a great list of songs to choose from. Hire them, every guest will love them! -

Book. This. Band.
Exceeded our expectations and then some. Nearly all of our wedding guests said that Project Orange was the best band they ever heard at a wedding. That is so true. They are extremely talented musicians and performers. We felt as if they were genuinely happy to be part of our day.
We fell in love with this band. You will too. -

Toni & team were so wonderful to work with for our wedding! All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. Toni is SO responsive and they tailor their setlist to your favorites and can play songs upon request during the wedding if Bride/Groom wants to hear something specific. They also worked with my Father in Law to coordinate him playing the sax with the band for a song, which everyone loved!! Been to a lot of weddings and Project Orange is a tier above all other bands and for people that LOVE music. Book them!! -

Thank you so much to Toni, the band leader, and the band! Project Orange Music delivered and incredible experience for us and our guests. We communicated with Toni to select our special songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The musicians are talented, professional, versatile, hard working, and so much fun to dance alongside.
I'd also love to mention Toni's kindness. She was especially kind and sensitive to our needs before and during the event. -

Stephanie F. Sent on 10/20/2019Our guests are still talking about this band
We’re a couple of months out from our wedding and people are STILL talking about how great our wedding band was! Hiring Project Orange was one of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding. We had completed an exhaustive search for wedding bands and were fortunate enough to land a date with Project Orange. Toni was not only extremely communicative and easy to work with, she made it very clear from the outset that she and her band were intent on giving us the wedding we had always imagined.
The energy that this band brings is simply unmatched and you can tell they genuinely love performing together. I think just about every one of our 180 guests, both young and old, commented on how much they loved our band. They’re extremely versatile, covering a wide range of genres and artists and were open to performing songs off their set playlist.
Whether it was helping us pick out our processional songs or guiding us in creating a playlist to cater to all our guests, Toni truly made it a personalized experience. Our friends just booked Project Orange for their wedding next year and we can’t wait to experience this band again. Simply put, if you’re looking for top quality entertainment with the client-services to match, you needn’t look any further than Project orange. Book them and you won’t be disappointed!

We can’t recommend Project Orange Music highly enough. If you have any doubts or are between a few choices, just book them now before someone else does! Their videos don’t do it justice, you got to hear it all in person. My wife and I were very particular about bands for our wedding and after a long and thorough search through countless sample videos, we still couldn’t find what we were looking for in the Philadelphia area. And we’re so glad we didn’t because after expanding our search to NYC we were lucky enough to find this gem.
Since we couldn’t see them perform live before our event, we weren’t 100% sure what to expect. On the day of the wedding, they indeed blew us away and performed beyond our expectations. While our wedding party was getting ready before the ceremony, the band was practicing part of their set. Most of our wedding party had no idea it was a band playing and thought it was just the radio in the background! The compliments about the band happened before the ceremony even started!
As the night went on, our guests could not stop talking bout the them. Our venue was also mesmerized by their performance, stating that they were the most talented band they have had play at the venue. It got so wild to the point that my 71 year old father did a stage dive and crowd surfed before the night was over. Absolutely unreal!
Toni was also so helpful before our big day and was very communicative leading up to the event. She took the time to really listen to what our vision was for the big day while offering guidance along the way, she truly made it a night of our own making. She’ll give you a playlist to pick from, but their selection expanded well beyond their provided list. They were very flexible with requests and learning new songs, they truly know how to read the crowd and give a wide variety of songs to keep the energy going. From oldies to rock to pop and hip hop, everything just blended so well together.
Aside from the music itself, Toni and her band were very down to earth, and hung out with us during their short breaks. The band was really interactive with the crowd and kept the energy high all night.
Shortly after our wedding we had friends inquiring about how they could get Project Orange to play their events. Our friends ended up booking Project Orange for their own wedding next year and we absolutely cannot wait to attend! After our great experience with them, we want to keep in touch with Toni and find more excuses to hear them play! -

We saw Project Orange perform at a food festival on the west side piers years ago. At the time, we said we MUST have them play at our wedding. It was the best decision we could have made; they were even better than we remembered!! Every guest said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard--most saying it was more like a concert! Toni was just phenomenal to work with from start to finish. Super responsive, reassuring, and patient with our requests. Every other review you'll read is true; they really made the party! If they have your date available, book them. Book them. Book them! -

Wow how do I even begin to describe how unbelievably amazing Project Orange's performance at my wedding was. From start to finish they were lively, energetic and blew the roof off the venue. My guests have not stopped raving about how much fun they had and how much they loved the music. Toni, the band's leader is very dedicated to her craft and delivering the best performance possible each and every time. She really took the time with us to get that exact vibe we wanted and delivered it perfectly. She is also an incredibly talented singer and performer, as was every member of her awesome band. PO also provided music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and that was beautiful and fit each event so well. My wife and I also had a very unconventional request for our first dance, which they delivered on to our exact specifications, it truly blew us away. During my engagement I literally watched over 40 wedding bands that left me underwhelmed until I discovered Project Orange. In a world full of boring, by the numbers wedding bands, Project Orange stands far above the fray. If you want true artists, who will deliver a one of a kind performance this band is for you. Do not miss out, short of saying "I Do", Project Orange was the best decision we made that day. Thank you so much for the best night of our lives! -

More than a "just" wedding band
Toni likes to get to know her clients personally so that on The Day it's as if you have an old friend preforming at your wedding. No corporate feel nor hard-and fast rules. A collaboration.
The band knows how to read and room and keep momentum up and up and up! We have received non-stop compliments on their sound, sound selection and overall vibe. Most frequent feedback is "best wedding band I've ever heard". -

Project Orange isn't the typical "wedding band." They are an entire experience and if you want your wedding to stand out in the best way possible, THEY ARE THE ONLY WAY TO GO! Toni and her band performed at my sister's wedding in 2011 and ever since then, it was my dream to have them perform at mine. I got in touch with Toni and after one phone conversation, we booked them. My husband was a bit worried going for a band that he had never seen perform, but, I can't express enough just how amazing they were! Their talent is unparalleled and their ability to "read the room" is exceptional. They knew what vibe was needed at every point of the night. This is the type of band that you put your faith in and say "play what you think will get the party going" and they take it from there! My husband and I genuinely cannot imagine what our wedding would have been like without them. We are forever grateful for making our night the best ever! -

Bevin P. Sent on 11/06/2018Hiring Project Orange Music was the best wedding decision we could have made
This band will be the most raved about part of your wedding. We knew wanted a really awesome wedding band. We did not know how to pick one. I filled out forms on countless band websites, watched every YouTube video, and scheduled showcases. I still had no idea who to pick. Almost every band came across as a little cheesy. I didn’t want that. Through word of mouth from two different sources, we were recommended Project Orange Music. I actually already had a quote from Toni but almost overlooked her band because they don’t have much of an internet presence. I saw a short clip on YouTube of the band performing a Lauryn Hill song and sent it to my dad who agreed it wasn’t much to go by, but they certaininly seemed different and to stand out from the other bands. We decided to take a chance and hire Toni without ever hearing anything live. My wedding day was truly perfect, but looking back on how certain things were executed there are definitely changes I would have made. Hiring Toni and Project Orange Music is not one of them. They were flawless. They brought so much energy to the party. Everyone had such a good time, their song selection was fantastic, and they kept people on the dance floor all night. My husband and I could not be happier and all of our guests are still talking about how this is the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. I have been to dozens of weddings with bands and I completely agree with all our guests that Project Orange Music is by far the best. -
User2288458 Sent on 08/27/2015This if my first online review, but I felt compelled to write it because Project Orange is an exceptionally awesome band that just so happens to play weddings. They are so good that if you're planning a wedding, care about the music, and Project Orange is not available, then you should seriously consider moving the wedding date. I fretted over which band to choose because we knew our guests loved to dance - young and old alike - but we didn't want 4 hours of only Motown or just the new hits our parents wouldn't recognize. And we wanted them to actually sound good. Project Orange hit exactly the right note. Everyone, including my grandmother in her wheel chair, hit the dance floor and stayed all night - despite the fact that it was about 88 degrees and windless at our outdoor wedding! I think all of our guests lost 10 pounds that night (an unexpected bonus, haha!).
Apart from the music, Toni Ménage - the band leader and manager - totally gets the business aspect of managing a band and also a stressed out bride. She was gracious, responsiveness, and kind throughout her dealings with me and my wedding planner. They also had wedding gear and outfits that matched the vibe of the wedding we were going for, which was an added bonus. In short, they were amazing, as all of our guests remarked to us over and over again. My husband and I can't recommend them highly enough.
