Best Decision We Made!

We are still over the moon from our wedding! Atlantic Shake was absolutely incredible and exceeded every expectation we had. The band was phenomenal, and literally everyone we spoke to (including ourselves!) was impressed with their energy, talent, and how they managed to keep everyone on the dance floor all night! Sean was such an engaging MC who kept the energy up all night and made everything flow seamlessly. The talent of the entire band was incredible, and they absolutely blew us away. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about them. I’m not even kidding, I received another text from a family member saying “the band was SO GREAT” as I was writing this review! It was wonderful working with Carley and the whole team throughout the planning process. She made everything seamless and was so helpful, communicative, and professional. We are so grateful to the entire team for making our day so special and SO MUCH FUN!

Absolutely Incredible from Start to Finish!

Atlantic Shake absolutely brought the house down at our wedding! The 9-piece band delivered an extraordinary performance that had our guests rocking all night long and left us all wanting more.
Every element came together perfectly to create an unforgettable celebration. The dancers were up on their feet from the first song to the last encore, and the energy never stopped.
Professional, responsive, and incredibly talented,
Atlantic Shake was a dream to work with from start to finish. They read the room beautifully, tailored the setlist to our tastes, and built the perfect flow for dinner, cocktail hour, and the dance floor. Our friends and family are still raving about how amazing the music was, and we couldn't agree more.
If you're planning a celebration and want a live band that will elevate every moment, we highly recommend Atlantic Shake. They exceeded every expectation and helped make our wedding an event we'll cherish forever.

Book them!

WOW! If you’re on the hunt for a wedding band, stop now, you found them! From beginning to end working with Atlantic Shake was the best. We worked with Nick and Carley to coordinate everything for the wedding. They made sure that they got all the details to ensure our day would be perfect, which it was! Carley was very thorough in our pre-event meetings- from song choices, to timeline of the night, to correct pronunciation of names (super important when both families names are notoriously messed up) and always with such a fun positive attitude. The band was incredible! Everyone is super talented and really wowed us and all our guests. And of course SEAN! That man knows how to keep a party going and keep the room entertained. He’s so full of energy and brought such a fun atmosphere to the party. We are thinking of having a second wedding just as an excuse to hire them again. Can’t recommend enough!

Atlantic Shake Wedding Band-Book them now!

We can’t say thank you enough to Atlantic Shake for bringing the best party and entertainment to our wedding! Sean, Sara, and the entire crew had the dance floor packed all night—exactly what we wanted! The day was filled with so much love, singing, dancing, and even a few iconic wrestling moves (Sean loved a good theme)! Their energy was electric, and our guests (and us!) had the best time.
A huge thank you as well to Carley, who handled all the behind-the-scenes planning and made sure the entire day went exactly how we envisioned. We truly can’t thank you all enough. Highly recommend!

THE Wedding Band

When we were planning our wedding we knew that we wanted a band. Bands are expensive and they are typically one of the things that couples drop when the costs start piling up. We wanted our wedding to be a party so we made the commitment and went with Atlantic Shake because they looked like they knew to how throw a party. We felt good about our decision to but there were still some nerves, most wedding band you can’t see live before hand so you are really making a decision based off videos and previous reviews.

From our first meeting, we knew we made the right decision. Nick and Carley were warm, professional, organized and we always looked forward to our meetings with them. A lot of wedding planning can feel like a chore but it never felt that way with Nick and Carley.

On the day of, Atlantic Shake nailed every detail from ceremony music to the cocktail hour vibes but it was all leading up to the real show, the reception. It was clear with Shawn that we had more than a lead singer, we had a showmen. The real life Jack Black from School of Rock, people were raving about his performance all night. We loved their punk rock take of the Horah and they felt like real members of the tribe. When you pay for a wedding band you are paying for an experience and nobody brings a better experience than Atlantic Shake. For the rest of our lives we will cherish the memories of singing, dancing and partying with all of our families and friends.

Best wedding band ever!

Atlantic Shake made our wedding so special and so much fun! From our initial meeting with the manager, Nick, we knew they were going to be great and so easy to work with. Our details coordinator Carley was so helpful in planning the run of show for the band from start to finish, taking into consideration our feedback every step of the way. The band is absolutely amazing and did such a great job with the ceremony, cocktail hour music and the reception. Atlantic Shake is so thoughtful and intentional with everything they do and we could not recommend them enough! Our dance floor was packed all night and their set list was exactly what we had envisioned. Their energy and professionalism is unmatched! Do not hesitate to book them - best choice we made!!!

Wonderful experience with Atlantic Shake team!

Do yourself a favor and hire Atlantic Shake! We absolutely loved working with them and 2 months post-wedding the band is still the #1 thing guests bring up and compliment! Shout-out to the bassist Cameron who is very talented and originally how we found out about the group, as well as Nick & Carley on the management team who were wonderful to work with, so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. You feel well taken care of from the start, and that went straight through to the day of. Their one-stop-shop nature really helps keep things streamlined and stress-free - collaborating on style(s) and song choices, they offer music and audio/mics for the ceremony, music for cocktail hour, editing the speciality songs/dances to your liking, MC'ing the reception to keep things flowing, playing the night away.. they do it all! Not to mention the energy they bring!! Wow did they set the tone. MC Sean is magic - he got everyone engaged right away. We had about 90 guests and opted for their 6-piece band. Sara was our other lead singer and awesome. They had us dancing the whole night! It was an experience we'll always treasure. We highly recommend working with Atlantic Shake, you won't regret it!

Best band - made our wedding

This band was INCREDIBLE. From our first conversation with Nick, to the planning leading up to the event with Carley, and the execution by the band on the day of… we could not have asked for anything better. They personalized our day to meet our vision and kept our guest entertained throughout. Couldn’t recommend them more and such a pleasure to work with.

Atlantic Shake took our wedding to the next level!

The planning and meetings leading up to the day were very thorough and detailed but also super fun. They really know how to strike a good balance. They were also very flexible which was much appreciated. Honestly having them as our band and especially Sean as our MC really made the night! They had guests dancing the whole time
