They made out night!

I found Big Lucky on the internet and after never hearing them in person, was pleasantly surprised (and relieved!) that they are awesome. Paul was professional and communicative leading up to the event. On the night of they set up quickly and easily. The female lead singer (sorry I don't know her name) is talented and personable. She interacted with me when I needed to make announcements and was absolutely wonderful from the first song, to the last. I highly recommend the Big Lucky -- they made my event a success!

We could not have been happier with Big Lucky! They completely understood the type of experience we wanted to create for our guests, from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. They provided a unique musical quality to each portion of the day. We received lots of compliments on their music, and they really set the tone for a good time! Val and Paul were great to work with, responsive to our requests and brilliant in their suggestions. They are the best!!

Big Lucky is awesome. Wouldn't have any other band play for my wedding. Very professional, fun, engaging, and definitely worth every penny. Thanks so much!

Wow!!!! I was looking for a band for my La La Land themed graduation party for my son. I found these guys! The reviews were amazing and so I went with it! They did not disappoint! Paul was very responsive to my needs and these guys have a huge repertoire of songs! I got a 5 piece band and Val sang for us! What an awesome voice! She also wanted to make sure that she was accommodating which I totally appreciated! They in fact do know how to feel the crowd out a liven up the party! I got so
Many compliments from my guests! They were blown away! I told Paul that I was hoping to bring them back to my house for another party in the future! If you are looking for a band I highly recommend Big Lucky!

Big Lucky is amazing - helped coordinate the music, organize the setup, do the announcements and keep to the timeline with venue coordinator. We just got to enjoy the wedding. Very professional, excellent musicians.

Our experience was AMAZING!!!!
They are PROS. If you want to work with a team that is truly professional - they are they way to go. And they are incredibly talented musicians. I ended up also hiring Valerie to Cantor our WEDDING MASS. She was an amazing resource for me during the wedding planning phases and navigating music planning. I really wanted a lot of "smooth jazz" and maybe a different vibe than the band was used to - but they NAILED IT. Brought 3 different saxophones and KILLED IT. Our guests were complimenting us on our choice of band all night (and still days after the party) They are amazing and really good people. That was actually one of the reasons I went with them right off the bat because Paul called me right back and we were able to chat about music and venues. They are good people and true professionals. We were happy to have them fit right in with our family and give a perfect flow to our evening. We love Big Lucky!!! Thank you, Paul & Valerie! We love you so much xoxoxo Steph & Eddie
PS - they also learned a special song for my mom and played it while we cut our cake and it is literally one of our best memories to have in our hearts forever.

Big Lucky was the perfect band for our wedding. They are so unique and just absolutely amazing all around. Val and Paul went above and beyond to make sure our wedding music was exactly what we wanted. Our guests were so impressed and were up dancing the whole night. Their style allows for everyone with all different music tastes to be happy and Really enjoy. They are very versatile as they can be mellow during cocktail and dinner hour and really get the party started for the reception. Not only are they EXTREMELY talented musicians they are professional. My husband and I feel like we not only found the best band for our wedding but we found life long friends as well. I want to have another wedding just to use them again! My husband and I and all our our guests had a blast! Thank you so much for helping us create the wedding of our dreams!

We searched for a band that would match our taste in music and theme. We wanted a band who would bring life to our party so guests will have amazing memory of our wedding party-- Big lucky fits perfectly.

Very easy to work with- we were in contact through email and they always respond right away. A few weeks before the wedding we had a conference call to discuss and be on the same page on what we wanted and what they can offer. They will work with your request in terms of music.

Our guests were dancing and enjoyed the party. Love their vintage style. They give you a list of songs you can choose from. Even added more of our preferred party music mixing my taste and my husbands. From our parents to our nephews and nieces who enjoyed and danced to their music. My relatives whom i would never see dance, they did and it was fun to watch everyone enjoying.

Valerie was very organized, even though my coordinator (who did a poor job) sent wrong information, Valerie emailed me right away to confirm and asked me directly, I mean she really did an excellent job, Im thankful she confirmed with me and not the coordinator. The sequence of our reception wouldn't have been perfect if it wasn't for her.

They even had a PA system and played their music while they were on breaks and had a wireless microphone when speeches were made.

They were a sport even though it was a hot day (being the stage outside on a hot summer day), they still performed great regardless of the situation. We had fun having them as our band.

Valerie and Paul worked very hard to make sure our wedding was perfect. Their musical talent is evident, and they are really nice people to work with too! The entire band was flexible and accommodating about set up and Valerie helped guide the event throughout the afternoon and evening. They've been doing this quite a while, so we were able to lean on them for suggestions and tips to make the event run smoothly. They aren't the least expensive option, but so very worth every dime. We're really happy to have met Big Lucky!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
