On our first date, our conversation went to music and that if/when we ever got married (who knew it would be to each other then!), we must have a live band. Having said that, and having worked with Three Sheets to the Wind since last summer – I now realize that statement wouldn’t be “we must have a live band”, and would now be, “we must have THIS live band”! We were married March 24, 2018 at the Kitty Hawk Pier, and worked with Three Sheets since summer of 2017. Every single conversation we had with Jack was delightful. He is easy to talk to, work with, and he thinks of every detail of planning the set list and the day-of Emceeing. The vibe we wanted was fun and party-like for our friends and family, and Three Sheets to the Wind delivered that flawlessly! We went with the 5-piece band including the saxophone, which I would highly recommend as the songs they were able to perform sounded amazing with the sax in the mix too! Jack and the whole band were fun, lively, energetic, and talented musicians! One of our guests is personal friends with many of Hollywood elite actors and musicians, and he said Three Sheets was not only one of the best wedding bands he’s ever heard, but one of the best bands ever! They were flexible with us in planning, and even learned our first dance song for us, and sounded amazing! Everyone was out on the dance floor the whole night, and if we could, we would hire Three Sheets for every single event we host from here on out! Thank you Jack and fellas!

Nothing I say in this review can do this band justice. Choosing Three Sheets to the Wind was the best planning decision we made, besides choosing each other! My husband and I have both seen this band around Richmond many many times, and our wedding was still so much more fun than we could've ever imagined. Yacht rock is the perfect wedding music and these guys do it best. The band is made up of an awesome group of guys who are so talented and entertaining for all ages. From the very first communication, Jack made booking and planning so easy, always professional and responsive. At the wedding, our dance floor was packed from the very first song (when dinner was set out) to the last song (even after the bar was closed). The set list was amazing and I have a feeling our guests will be raving about the band for a long time to come. These guys were the highlight of our wedding and well worth every penny. If you want every guest to feel like a VIP at the concert of the year, this is your band.

I wouldn’t consider myself a groupie type, nor are my friends but I think all 180 people at our wedding are now groupies of Three Sheets to the Wind. This is the best band that you could ever have to play your wedding. Those aren’t my words (although I completely agree) …..those are my guest’s words—all 180 of them.

I am from Virginia but got married in Wilmington, NC. I had seen Three Sheets quite a few times before just going to school in the Richmond area. However, I am convinced that the only reason my husband asked me to marry him is because he saw Three Sheets to the Wind at another friend’s wedding and he wanted to ensure that he was going to see them again….and soon.

During my friend's wedding, I couldn’t get my husband (boyfriend at the time) to stop googly eyeing the band while standing front and center next to the stage, acting like a 11 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert circa 2013 ….and no, I know what you’re thinking……it wasn’t the alcohol - it was because they were playing some of the best sounds ever created and incredibly on point for a wedding celebration. And as thought, shortly after that wedding, my boyfriend asked me to marry him. About 1.5 hours after our engagement, we booked Three Sheets (and by “we” I mean "him").

We are already talking about what we can hire them again for….They are absolutely incredible. Topper Dandy is the songbird of our generation. The only thing I regret is not getting a portrait with the band to be cherished for years to come. Without them, your wedding will be just another wedding that is easily forgettable – with them; you will be the envy of all your guests wondering why they didn’t hire them first.

A rave review about this amazing band won't do it justice, so it is almost hard! These guys absolutely made our band the best night we could have ever asked for. They were highly entertaining and engaging, personable, unique, and super super talented. Every single one of my out of town friends is desperate to have them visit and show them what yacht rock is all about. I could go on forever, but hands down, the best decision we made!

Three Sheets really cranked it to 11 for a great college reunion party! They were a joy to work with, and the crowd of folks from ages 18 to 35 loved them!

Three Sheets to the Wind performed at our 4400 person corporate event at Nationals Park and closed the show with a bang! They kept the energy up and guests loved their playlist. We would definitely work with them again.

When we started planning the wedding we asked each other, afterwards, what's the one word that we and everyone else there would describe the wedding as? FUN! was the identical response we gave, and we knew no other band could deliver on that as much as Three Sheets to the Wind.

We've seen them perform a few times prior to hiring them and every event we saw them at everyone was having such a great time, dancing and singing along, we couldn't think of another band we'd want to share our wedding day with us.

Very easy to work with, communicative, all above boards, even going out of the way when I had questions that I didn't recall we'd already discussed. The day of they were super professional, prepared, and of course so much fun to work with. We also had Jack emcee our intro's and other announcements and he was great. My best man and a few other people actually mentioned that our emcee did an amazing job and didn't realize he was part of the band.

I know there's a lot that goes into a wedding, and as you are planning yours you'll soon realize that it's more than being on time and saying I do...but I will say that the energy and joy and excitement and FUN a band can bring, I'd never really thought of til we had our wedding, and I can't imagine that day would have been as perfect without this band and these guys being part of it. CHEERS!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
