So Lucky to Have Booked this Band!

In 2015, my Amherst College classmates and I booked American Deluxe for our 25th college reunion. They were incredible. The centerpiece of the reunion. Got every single classmate out on the dance floor. This year, the reunion planning committee insisted on trying to book the band again. I'm so glad we did. Again, the band's gig was the highlight of the weekend. In fact, the word quickly got out to all the classes having reunions that the Class of 1990 had a "killer band," and we were swarmed by other classes, young and old. Everyone had a great time! And working with KJ to book the band, customize the set list, arrange for staging and sound, etc. was so easy and fun. Love every member of the band. Such good people and great musicians!

There is no question — ADB is the best wedding band in Philly

We got married in September so this review is very overdue but we’re all still talking about American Deluxe Band months later. They’re truly in a class of their own and you shouldn’t think twice about booking them.

Every single member of the band is insanely talented and together they performed some of the best covers I’ve ever heard. KJ was awesome to work with throughout the planning process and was a great MC for the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire night.

We felt very lucky to have American Deluxe Band play at our wedding and hope we get to see them perform again! 100/10

Words do not describe…

ADB is literally THEEE best band you can book for your wedding ( and any other occasion)

Everyone in the band are absolute sweethearts and are so talented at what they do, and they do it well together.
Our wedding was a week ago and we still have guests telling us how our wedding was the wedding of the ages and how incredible the band was.

We ended up cutting half our guest list after we had to re book it due to COVID in 2020. Originally we were going to have 120 people and cut it to 58. Regardless of the number of guests in that room they would have put out the same energy.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding the best wedding ever and for getting everyone up to dance ( even those who normally don’t dance).

Most Amazing Night Thanks To American Deluxe!

It is hard to know where to even begin. KJ and American Deluxe were nothing short of amazing. True musicians and we still have people asking us who the band was. I can not recommend them enough. From start to finish KJ was so responsive and the nicest person to work with. They created a set list based off of the music genres we liked and I just wish we could relive it forever. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our night so incredible.

If You Want to Have the Best Wedding Ever-Book This Band!

AMDLX absolutely killed it at our wedding. People are still raving about the music and how talented all of the band members are. Their unique style and musicality made our wedding stand out from beginning to end. Our guests were dancing the entire night. What more could you ask for? KJ was communicative and easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He was also pitch perfect all night long and played the drums too. What can't that guy do? If you want a band with true professionalism, talent, and creativity that stands out among the rest, look no further than AMDLX.

Great band - would recommend

We hired American Deluxe Band for our wedding in May 2022. We began planning our wedding in 2020 so couldn’t see or hear ADB live before retaining them. However, they sounded great in their videos and our initial conversation with them put us at ease. Throughout the planning process KJ was very responsive and easy to work with – taking our suggestions and making a few of his own. On the day of our wedding, ADB brought it. From our ceremony to cocktail hour to several hours of dancing, they were outstanding and sounded fantastic. All night long our guests told us how much they liked the band and their set list. A few special touches: ADB’s engineer adjusted the levels and EQ throughout the night to ensure the sound was perfect – no small feat in our venue. Additionally, ADB thoughtfully accommodated a last minute request from the bride for a song near the end of their set and incorporated it smoothly. We would definitely recommend ADB to anyone!

Awesome!!!!

I could not wait to write this review about American Deluxe Band! From the first contact with JK to the last song of the night they exceeded even our highest expectations for last nights performance at Cescaphe Ballroom. This is a highly talented group of musicians who know what it means to feel the crowd, listen to their couple, and get everyone on the dance floor. If you are looking for a (not run of the mill) exceptional band for your event look no further. ADB will not disappoint!!!!!

The best!

We have only the most amazing things to say about American Deluxe Band and would book them a 1,000x over. They are truly the most talented group of musicians and vocalists and we could not have been happier with the music the entire night. Our guests were coming up to us immediately all night to rave about the band and continued to talk about them well after the wedding. Everything was perfect, from the ceremony processional/recessional selections to the reception music. KJ is a dream to deal with and they are accomodating if you have any particular requests to incorporate. Truly, you will not be dissapointed if you book and we could not sing their praises more!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Wedding Band EVER

I could not recommend a band more. American Deluxe Band MADE our wedding what it was. It would not have been even close to being the same if not for them. From the beginning, KJ was extremely pleasant and professional, incredibly responsive, which is much appreciated during the wedding planning process. We were excited about them leading up to the wedding, and then on the wedding day, they blew us and all of our guests away with their talent. Every single guest commented on how they were the best wedding band they have ever experienced. The band made such special moments throughout the entire wedding from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour to then of course the reception where they truly shined. I could not recommend this band more. I would honestly pay good money to see them play again and hope to one day!

Amdlx rocks!

We hired American Deluxe Band after seeing their YouTube videos and enjoying their high quality sound and selection of funky song choices along with wedding standards. After speaking with KJ to book the band, talk about music choices, and finally discuss the reception playlist, we were very excited to hear AMDLX play. Their performance at our wedding reception exceeded our already high expectations. KJ satisfied almost all of our many, and sometimes idiosyncratic, song requests (e.g., Beatles deep cuts, Talking Heads, Phish, Jason Blaine, Led Zeppelin) - and he was thoughtful enough to put the ones they didn't play on the playlist for their set breaks. The dancefloor was packed all night and countless guests remarked on how amazing the band was. At times we had a crowd forming around the dancefloor as though watching a concert. We should also note that we hired two musicians from AMDLX for our ceremony and they did a lovely job. We would recommend AMDLX to anyone who wants to hear a professional, high-energy band at their wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
