Best Wedding Band Ever!

I can’t recommend Big City Wedding Band more highly.

From the outset, Ken was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, responsive to all of our requests, and showed an attention to detail that put my wife and I at ease. On the day of the wedding, the band arrived right on time, coordinated seamlessly with the venue, and handled all the logistics so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Most importantly, the band absolutely crushed the performance! The energy they brought to the room was infectious - the dance floor was packed all night and nobody wanted the party to end. Guests were raving about the band during the reception and continued sending us compliments for days afterward.

We feel so lucky that we ended up with Big City as our wedding band and are very grateful to them for creating such a fun evening for everyone.

Of the thousand little decisions you have to make planning a wedding, this one is a no brainer - go with Big City!

Highly recommend!

The Big City Wedding Band made our day so special from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, and finally the reception. We received rave reviews from friends and family about the music. We were so happy to see everyone up on the dance floor all night! Ken was great to work with from start to finish. We would absolutely hire them again in a second!

The Best Wedding Band!

Big City Wedding Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were blown away by their performance and they truly made our reception the party of a lifetime. From our first meeting with Ken, we knew we were in good hands. Ken was very easy to work with and clearly cared about every detail. On the day of the wedding, the entire band was professional, respectful, and just downright fun to party with. Their energy and enthusiasm were contagious and they had all our guests on the dance floor all night.

We can’t say enough good things about Big City Wedding band. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a passionate group of talented musicians to make their wedding reception one for the ages!

Fantastic Wedding Band

Big City exceeded all of our expectations! All of the guests across all ages loved them, they had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. Several months after our wedding our family and friends still tell us how awesome the band was. Ken was very professional and awesome to work with. He spoke with us several times before our wedding to ensure we all were on the same page for how we wanted the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception to flow. He was very thorough and detailed in the planning which made for a stress free wedding day, there were no unforeseen surprises that we did not agree to. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Incredible

Big City Band was truly phenomenal! We first discovered them when they played for my sister-in-law's wedding and they were the first group we called to book when when my husband and I got engaged. Not only are they all incredibly talented, they kept the energy so high and read our crowd perfectly - the dance floor was packed the entire night! We couldn't have asked for a better group. Ken was also an awesome manager - he's super kind and communicative and helped us think through our reception schedule, from our announcement to our first dances to our last dance. I only wish the night was longer!

Made our wedding!

From start to finish Big City delivered. Calls and availability leading into our wedding. Flexibility with adjustments. Setup was incredibly professional and on-time. They had fun with our crowd, kept everybody grooving all night - and were happy to perform an hour of OT with 5 minutes notice as our wedding got a late start. The sound of Big City live is way better than on you tube. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing wedding band!

Big City Band made our wedding day special and so memorable! My fiancé and I were focused on throwing the best party we could so having a great dance floor was one of our top priorities over anything else as that is what guests remember! We chose Big City Band after my younger sister had them at her wedding 2 years ago and we loved everything about them. From the minute the dance floor was opened, guests were dancing and having the time of their lives. We received so many compliments after the wedding at how awesome they were from all guests alike as they play such a great variety of hits for all ages. The dance floor was packed from start to finish…just ask my 7 year old flower girl, she couldn’t get enough of the music. If you want your guests to have the best wedding experience, you NEED to hire Big City Band. They listened to every request I had for certain songs (I’m a Tom Petty nut) and played a great lineup of softer music through dinner, barely having time to eat or take breaks because they were rocking the house ALL night. It just shows how diligent and professional they are! We had countless guests continue to tell us they were the best wedding band they had ever seen and their lead singer could be on tour she is that talented. Ken is absolutely amazing to work with as he’s very detailed, communicative and makes you feel so comfortable both in the days leading up to the wedding and on the day of. Please do yourself a favor and hire Big City Band! I wish I wasn’t the last sibling to get married so we could hire them for all of our future family weddings!

Also, huge shoutout to Ken who handles the client interaction and coordination for the band - he is friendly and communicative and overall awesome to work with!

I loved Big City Party Band from the minute they got on stage. Super professional, lots of energy, and great sound. The dance floor was packed the entire night! They were also naturally having fun on stage the whole time, which meant filming them to mix in with the dance footage was easy :) I highly recommend them :)
