Andrew Blake band

Andrew and his band were terrific. We hired their 11 pc band and provided the stage. They kept the party going all night and our guests loved them. The MC was good and the piano player during cocktail hour added so much. I would highly recommend them.

The best energy and SO much fun!

Andrew Blake Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Having a band over a DJ was pretty much the only thing my husband requested for our wedding, but as I began to research bands, I hit a lot of dead ends. We had a set amount of money to put towards our band, but I was finding that other bands I contacted would push me to spend even more. When I reached out to Andrew Blake, he could not have been kinder or more understanding. He has an incredible passion for what he does and reassured us that they would deliver no matter what "package" we bought for our day. We booked his 9-piece band for an extremely competitive price, and felt very confident after reading reviews and watching videos of them performing online. But wow, once they actually performed at our reception, we were blown away! The band has an incredible energy, knows how to curate songs to a certain crowd, and kept everyone dancing all night. This is not an exaggeration — we were blessed with a PACKED dance floor at our wedding! In addition to that, the band did a great job DJing our cocktail hour and dinner with ambient music. And Meghan was a fantastic MC, with so much enthusiasm and energy to get our party started. Could not recommend Andrew Blake Band more!

Be ready to dance all night!

Andrew Blake band kept the dance floor packed all night long! During the planning process Andrew was the easiest vendor to work with! He sent over a song list for us to pick from and we also picked our DJ song that played on the break! You will not be disappointed by choosing this band! They definitely made the wedding great!
