    An Awesome Band For Our Reception

    We were so pleased with the Band Sundance! They sounded great! Jim, the band leader, was super responsive and easy to work with. We had requested a few songs for our special dances. The band learned the songs and then, later in the night, surprised us with more songs from one of our favorite artists. Our guests loved the band. We consistently had a large group dancing throughout the night. It was an absolute pleasure having them at our reception. They were professional, courteous, and a ton of fun. Oh, and Angela videotaped the reception and took pictures throughout the evening. It was awesome to get videos/photos after the reception. A great reminder of all of the fun!

    50 th wedding anniversary

    We had a wonderful event. The band and it’s individual musicians all stood out as talented performers. The mixture of sound, brass , drums, strings all with excellent voices made our night one to remember. Easy to work with , very flexible and adapting thru the evening. Extremely happy. “Oh What A Night”!!!

    Adduci Wedding Band Experience

    Jim and the Band Sundance were by far the best bang for your buck in the area. They were affordable, easy to work with and our guests raved about how much fun they had with a live band playing. The band has an immense list of songs to play and will learn new songs you request. The band sounded great and played the entire night. We were more than impressed and Angela took plenty of videos and pictures on the dance floor late into the night which worked wonders as our photographers had left by 9pm. Jim and Angela sent us a flash drive with all the photos and videos. We highly recommend The Band Sundance for anyone with a wedding in the future!

    Sundance Was The Best Wedding Band

    At Brittney and Rob’s wedding at Idlewild CC, we had 200+ people, and let me tell you how we had nearly all of them stay and dance the night away until the end. Sundance learned soMe new tunes, played along our guest singer, Tommy Panici, and they went together so we’ll on some classic favorites, like they played regularly. Sundance even had Rob and Brittney come up to play alongside them for a couple dances, which everyone really enjoyed. They had Angela even videotape from the stage/band’s view, and around the room, which gave us pictures and shots that no photographer could have captured of everyone having so much fun. Jim was so easy to work with as far as booking the day, discussing just what we were looking for, and they can play almost any song you can dance to, both slow and fast. They were the ultimate professional band for the kid’s Big Wedding, and many complimented us for letting them enjoy the day with such great entertainment. Will be surprised if we don’t see them at a future family wedding or at any event in the area that might have entertainment. Their appearance was so fitting for a CC, and a family wedding. Talk about a value. Felt we had to tip them well as they were the icing on the cake to a perfect day.

    Incredible bang for your buck

    These guys were top notch for a cut rate price. They learned new songs that we requested, and played them with perfect execution and energy. Jim was overly communicative, was able to audible on the spot and provide tunes for the ceremony even though I asked him about it only 2 days before the wedding. Unexpectedly they had myself and my wife up on stage for 4 songs playing along and singing (helps to have some alcohol first), and even had the participants cheering us on. They took photos and sent us the entire roll only a few days after the wedding, and honestly the photos were so professionally done that we are framing a few of them ahead of the photographer that we hired! This group's as professional as it gets; well worth having them at whatever event you are hosting.

    Best wedding band in the midwest!

    We cannot thank The Band Sundance enough for the spectacular performance they gave us for our wedding. Jim was very easy to work with and made sure every song we wanted was played whether it was for cocktail hour, dinner or dancing. This band is extremely interactive with the crowd and can get the whole room up and moving. They let us (the bride and groom) play some instruments and sing on the microphone which is not very common, but was AWESOME in our eyes! Another great thing about this band is they take pictures and videos of your reception so you have all the fun memories captured which means they go above and beyond for their customers. I highly recommend this band to anyone who's looking to throw a good party!

    Best band ever!

    Jim, Angie, & The rest of The Band Sundance were absolutely phenomenal! They were SO quick to respond to us each and every time we had a question or concern. They even learned some new songs for our Father-Daughter dance, Mother-Son dance, and for our first dance as a married couple! They sounded fantastic too! I can't tell you how many people approached us during and after the wedding and commented on how amazing Sundance was and how they really enjoyed the music, the interaction, and all the fun the band brought to the evening! They interacted with us, our bridal party (even working them into some songs!), and with the guests, which really made for a special evening for us and our guests. They were always polite, on time, and incredibly professional! To top it off, Angie even captured much of the ceremony, toasts, and reception for us on camera/video, so we have even more memories than what the photographer could capture on his own! Having the Band Sundance play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding!

    The band Sundance did an amazing job at our wedding! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding! From the beginning, the leader of the band, Jim, was so easy to work with! From learning new songs that we wanted played at our wedding to even capturing photos/videos after our photographer left, he made sure it was taken care of! They sounded amazing and had all of our guest up on their feet the whole night!!!

    The Band Sundance comes highly recommended from me. The value added they provide includes; video service, emcee service, willing to learn new songs and the ability to really get the party started. You won't find a better group of musicians. Their sound is the best. There is nothing like going from Bruno Mars to Chicago with the Sundance Horns. Vocals are the best with Jody and Angela fronting the band but then you include the guys singing and it's unbelievable. Jim is great to work with and is really accommodating to make your day even more special.

    Do not have enough words to express how great the Band Sundance was for our wedding. Their ease of communication beforehand put both of us at ease that we would not have to worry about this vendor. The bands choice of songs kept everyone of all age groups on the dance floor. We received numerous compliments of the band. Whether it was when they were playing, or when they catered to other music the crowd liked when they were on break. Their professionalism, talent, and love of getting people out on the dance floor is second to none. I wish we could have had more time with the Band Sundance, and would recommend them to anyone looking to have a live band. Whether it was 70s-90s music or country music, the Band Sundace put on an amazing show. Also the fact they took candid photos while playing was something that went above and beyond what you woould expect of a band. Again, there are not enough words to express how great they were at our wedding.

    We would recommend this band to anyone looking for a something to set their party apart from others. Our guests from ages 30 to 70 commented on what a great band. The kids all had a blast on the dance floor and playing along on the triangle/tambourine. Jim was amazing to work with and accommodated our every request. The horns section really got people's attention and gave extra dimension to the sound! Book The Band Sundance now!

    BOOK THEM NOW! The Band Sundance was an absolute joy to have at our wedding! From our initial conversations, I had nothing but positive and helpful communications with Jim and the band. They provided the music during the ceremony for us, and kicked it right off during cocktail hour and for the rest of the evening. The high energy, great sound, and amazing song selections kept everyone on the floor throughout the night.
    Our friends and family had only positive things to say about the music. They are an amazing value, and as an 8 Piece Band, they really get the party going! I highly recommend The Band Sundance for your event!

    The Band Sundance's reply:

    Your wedding Rocked!! What a great party, thank you for having us be a part of it.

    Sundance did an amazing job at our wedding! They had no issues learning some of the songs that we wanted to be played and our reception was perfect thanks to them. We received so many compliments on how much fun our wedding was after the event and I believe that was mostly because of Sundance and how they were able to engage the crowd throughout the whole evening. I would definitely recommend them!

    All I can say is WOW. The Sundance Band made our wedding one of the most fun, memorable nights of our lives! The band played songs that got the young, old, and "I-don't-dance" people out on the dance floor all night. I was worried that there would be too many people outside on the veranda instead of on the dance floor, but this was never an issue.

    It was a pleasure working with Jim, the manager and emcee. The band played specific live songs we wanted for our Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dance. Also, last minute, they were able to play a blues song for our intros that made our wedding party intros fun and unique. It was seamless discussing the details with Jim up until the big day, and his calm demeanor really helped ease our worries.

    We are still getting rave reviews about the band weeks after the big day. Would highly recommend the band to anyone.

    This band ROCKED! A big part of our wedding budget went to live music and it was worth every penny. Not only was the band reasonable but they absolutely made the wedding. If we had just gone with a DJ it would not have been the big party that occurred. The floor was packed the entire time with people dancing whenever they played. My mom said she didn't remember the last time she danced so much. They even got some of our attendants and myself involved in playing along, and sent us a DVD at no charge! Great group of people, book them and you will not be disappointed in your special day!

    We recently hired The Band Sundance for our wedding. They are super fun and play songs that will be a hit in any environment and to wide audience. This is key for a wedding as they can play something for everyone.

    They were interactive with us and overall they were just perfect.

    Being the groom, you don't remember each song or the entire set list but the next day, everyone was raving about what a great band and asking how i found them. That is a sign that they did a great job and I highly suggest them.

    Very professional and leaves you to not worry about the music, which is key. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your wedding.

    -Ryan

    I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I was that we hired this band! We knew a dj was out of the question. The band really knows how to play for a crowd. We had guests ranging from high school on up and the dance floor was always packed. People are still telling me that this was by far the best party that they can remember attending. They brought in special lighting, mc'd my event, and even gave me a cd! They also dj during breaks! No one remembers your flowers or cake, but they will remember what a good time to they had. Thank you Jim and the band Sundance! Maybe an anniversary party will be in the future! !

    You cannot get a better band than Sundance. Go for the full 8 piece and your guests will love it! Our dance floor was full the entire night and everyone - from teens to twenty-somethings to older guests -mentioned the band as a highlight of the night. Wide variety of songs. You will love them!

    Everything about the band was great. We were all very pleased and would recommend them to anyone. In addition to playing at the dinner reception at Brookfield Zoo, a saxophonist performed during the cocktail hour at the bear enclosure and it made that part of the wedding celebraion even more interesting.

    The Zoo was an awesome setting!! Thank you for selecting Sundance to perform at your wedding!
