747 Orchestra is OUTSTANDING!!!

We secured 747 for our wedding and reception. They have many, many years in the wedding biz and their talent, professionalism, energy and songs played, that we left mostly to them, gave us THE most unbelievable evening possible. As the music was super important to us, Nanci led us in the right direction from the time we initially spoke until the last song was played. We highly recommend 747 Orchestra for any event you are planning

Amazing band! Best ever!

RUN don't walk to hire this band! They were AMAZING! Literally I truly believe if you have a good band you'll have a good wedding and this band exceeded all expectations. I am an extremely picky person when it comes to music, we searched high and low for a perfect band and we found it! We planned our wedding in CT from LA and the entire time Nanci was super communicative (the manager of the band) and we were able to discuss our needs and wants. They were amazing. We could not be happier with the way our wedding reception went! They are overall the BEST band ever! We received so many compliments during and after our wedding reception and everyone was on the dance floor thanks to them! They are on top of everything and really know how to get the party started! I could not recommend this band more, overall I would give them 1000 stars if I could! Highly, highly recommend!

What a night!

747 Orchestra was absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Our wedding was on May 8, and it was one of the first weddings of the season since COVID, so we weren't sure how comfortable people would be on the dance floor. The SECOND the band started playing at our wedding, EVERYONE was on the dance floor with the biggest smiles on their faces. They kept us dancing ALL night long, and if it wasn't for the noise ordinance at my venue, we could have extended them for another 45 minutes set! They had SUCH amazing energy and kept it going the entire time. Nanci was incredible band leader, and was fully responsive and easy to work with. She knows her band incredibly well and we trusted her suggestions, and they did NOT disappoint. If you want the party going all night at your wedding or event, you HAVE to book 747 Orchestra!!! They are truly the BEST!!

Anyone who attended our daughter's wedding will be talking about "the band" 747 Orchestra for months to come. No Hollywood movie star could have a band as amazing as this orchestra. They are in a league of their own. The energy 747 brought to the party was through the roof! From the horn section and unbelievable singers, to the outstanding drummer with the cool sunglasses, I can tell you that your guests will be in awe. We loved when the band's singers and horns came out onto the dance floor and played and sang directly to the bride and groom and everyone dancing! The music the band played kept the dance floor packed. All our guests were dancing and singing to every song the band played. It was like the room and party took on a life of it's own. The best way I can describe the experience is "surreal." The talent and the incredible hard work of 747 Orchestra helped to make our daughter's wedding a night we will never forget. 747 you have our eternal gratitude and we will be recommending you to all our friends, acquaintances and colleagues who are planning celebrations. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! If you are considering a band for your wedding, 747 Orchestra is a no-brainer. Their level of skill and professionalism is off the chart. The dance floor was packed all night. Two months later, it's still all anyone talks about. Amazing does not begin to describe how good they were. Nanci Silver, the band leader, was fantastic. She did everything we wanted and then some. We only wished they could play for another 5 hours. They made an incredible wedding unforgettable. Thank you 747.

Best band ever!!! The professionalism alone is fantastic. The music is amazing! We had the pleasure of attending a wedding with 747 and knew we had to have them for our own. you will not be disappointed. The dance floor was packed the whole night. We received compliments from every guest about the band and how fantastic they were, how fun they were and how amazing their song selections were. They made our first dance so memorable. Each song was better than the last. Truly amazing and worth every penny! I would absolutely recommend 747 to anyone looking to have a fabulous dance party!
