AMAZING. This was the best money we spent on the entire wedding! Booking and planning was SO easy with George. He responded within a day and met with us a few times to discuss songs, etc. We made up a great play list and they far exceeded all of my expectations!

We had a long reception - cocktails for an hour (the keyboard player played for this) and a 5 hour reception. Guests danced from 7:30 through till 11PM - at the end people were screaming "one more song" they of course played an encore set for us. I have never been to a wedding with a better band! BOOK THEM - they are seriously great!!!

The female singer of The Free Downloads is an old and dear friend of mine from college. Having heard TFD play before in Boston, I contacted Sheree basically the day I got engaged to see if the band would be willing to travel for my New Jersey wedding. (I'd already played music samples for my fiance and he loved the band, too!)

Once the initial travel-issue was arranged (and the band WAS willing to travel- which for 7 players is amazing), I started working with George (the band leader) who was simply amazing. The entire planning process was a breeze. George is an amazing guitarist, who played BEAUTIFUL acoustic guitar for my outdoor ceremony. George, Sheree, and the rest of the band members were all willing to learn several special-request songs, and their repertoire of music for cocktail hour, dinner & dancing is amazing.

When you book this band you will get exceptionally professional service. But, most importantly, you will also get some of the best wedding music I and my wedding guests have EVER heard. I cannot tell you how many people complimented the music. The band played all night- even taking less breaks than usual to make up for a slight time adjustment. Our guests had a blast on the dance floor, and the music played at dinner time was tasteful & gorgeous. It was the perfect blend of music from all genres and decades- they are sure to make grandparents, friends, and your young cousins equally happy! Sheree and Neil are COMPLETELY AMAZING vocalists, and the entire band was just out of this world. I had a Jersey wedding- where guests are used to over-the-top affairs & very highly priced vendors. Yet everyone I talked to assured me this was the best music ever heard at a wedding (or any other party/affair for that matter!)

My husband and I will never forget the integral role The Free Downloads played in making our wedding one of the best days of our lives. I wish I could get married over, just to have more time dancing & singing along with this band.

The Free Downloads are awesome! They really did everything -- learned three new pieces, played a hora, provided lovely background music for cocktails/dinner, and kept everyone dancing through the night. Their bandleader George was responsive and easygoing about our various requests. The instrumentalists are all beautifully in tune and in sync, and their singers are spectacular, with both musicality and showmanship. (And it wasn't an easy audience -- my husband's family is full of musicians!) One of our friends told us that it was a one-in-a-hundred wedding band, but having looked at more than a hundred of them, we think he might have been underestimating them.

We loved the FDs!! We had a wonderful experience from the moment we first met with the band. George, the bandleader, was always very responsive, and the day of, the entire band was just awesome. We have received soo many compliments from our guests, everyone had a great time. Would absolutely recommend.

Wow, where do I start? This band is phenomenal! We couldn’t have been happier with their performance at our wedding. Everyone loved the singers, the song choices and most importantly the energy they brought to our big day! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them and neither can we! They put a huge amount of time and effort into making our day perfect, including learning another song in the last couple of days before the wedding (Call Me Maybe, which completely brought down the house!), sticking exactly to the songs we asked them to and just taking so much care in everything they did. George is an awesome guy and so professional. He responded to all of my emails promptly – faster than any of my other vendors – and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I couldn’t think of one negative thing to say about this band. They exceeded our expectations and I plan to recommend them to anyone who’s willing to listen. In fact, one of our guests who’s getting married next year and already has a band booked actually took down there name and is thinking of changing his plans – that’s how great they are! Book them!

Very talented and professional band! I have received countless compliments on how great my band was! I would hire them again in a second!

Everyone loved the band!
We had 140 guests aging from 10-95 and this band got everyone dancing. I can't tell you how many people came up to me asking where I found the band because they were just wonderful. Our wedding took place on an island, but the Free Downloads took moving all of their gear out on ferries totally in stride. They were flexible when some of our timeline (that they were MCing) was a bit off and really worked well with a bride who doesn't know much about weddings.
Honestly, more than I could have asked for, they made it a wonderful night!

We could not have been happier with The Free Downloads' performance at our wedding, we're so glad we found them! They were extremely professional & accommodating, learning songs from Sinatra & Bobby Darin to klezmer to I'm On A Boat. Their performance was fantastic. They are not only extremely talented, they're also really fun people--they kept everyone dancing for their nearly six-hour set. One guest said she would hear a song and think the iPod had been plugged in, only to realize the band was still playing as they nailed every song, from Beyonce to Norah Jones to Bon Jovi to Cee Lo. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, we can't recommend them highly enough.

George was a great acoustic guitarist, very reasonably priced and willing to work around my distance issues (planning an RI wedding from Australia), by emailing me recordings of the music he was going to play for our processional and recessional. He was very patient as I changed my mind several times about the recessional and the final versions were beautiful. He is also in a band that does weddings too.

Picking a band was one of the most important factors in my wedding planning. My friends are all music people and it was important we had a band that would get people dancing. The Free Downloads exceeded every one of my already high expectations. I knew they sounded amazing in the studio samples. I would say they sounded just as awesome, if not better, in person. They learned all the music we asked them to and they sounded incredible. They were fun, funny, and energetic. They played until the last moment our venue would let them. George, the bandleader, was great to work with and flexible. I was even emailing him the morning of the wedding. I couldn't have been happier!
