Amazing wedding band

Hire Bonnie Foster productions for your next event!! Bonnie is absolutely incredible and so professional, and the versatility of the band is impeccable. We feel so grateful to Bonnie and her team - they truly made our wedding feel like a concert and our guests were on the dance floor all night long. Thanks Bonnie!!!

They are the best! Not just superb musicians, but real entertainers!

We hire Bonnie's band to play at my daughter's wedding.....and they "tore the house down." Everyone said rather than just a band playing it was like a concert where the band invites you up front to dance.....everything was perfect, from their versatility, to song selection, to their ability to get the party going and keep it going! Wonderful performance, you made the wedding!!! Thanks again

Excellence all the way

We absolutely loved working with Bonnie Foster! From our first consultation call we knew that we would be taken care of and have our vision executed working with Bonnie. Bonnie herself is a true veteran in the industry, and she was so adept at understanding and executing our vision.

Bonnie and her team made the evening flow perfectly- they directed attention towards special moments (speeches, father of the bride and mother of the groom dances, cake cutting, etc) and made those moments seamlessly flow throughout the evening, weaving in high energy fun dance sets that had our entire reception on their feet dancing. Bonnie and her team worked with us to collaborate on song choices, timeline and flow of the overall reception, and even created special moments like when she invited us up on the stage to sing along with the band.

All of our guests could not stop singing the band's praises. We would absolutely choose Bonnie Foster Productions all over again !

Best Wedding Experience Out There!

Truly the best wedding band out there! We've been to multiple weddings where they've performed as well as had them play for our wedding. They elevate the entire reception. From the first dance, to the cake cutting, to the bouquet toss, to the end of the night, their performance keeps guests entertained and on the dance floor.

My wife and I began meeting with Bonnie in November of 2021 for our wedding in July 2022. She is a true genius at her craft. Her ability to capture the vision of your event and assign the talent, lighting, and supporting themes are second to none. She provided great insight on how to structure our reception so that we could maximize the dancing and allow our guests to mingle while also creating time for all of the toasts, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc. The flow was perfect. Bonnie also provided great feedback for our song choices and was able to tailor the setlist to our music preferences despite my wife preferring country and myself preferring rock and the classic wedding songs.

If you're still on the fence of whether to pick a DJ or band, I'll leave you with this: With a good DJ, your guests that were going to be on the dance floor anyways will notice. With a good band, all of your guests will notice. With Bonnie Foster Productions, all of your guests will notice and rave about them to you and all of their friends.

More than I could’ve dreamed of.

Bonnie and her team are hands down the BEST. My husband and I were blown away by their talent. From our first zoom meeting to the end of the wedding night, I felt like Bonnie and I had been friends for years. She is a true professional. Bonnie listened to everything we were thinking, the flow of the night, the vibe we wanted, and how the venue would accommodate everything.

Music during dinner was spectacular. It was intimate yet lively. Everyone who is part of BFP is beyond talented. The band was incredible and the dance floor was packed the entire night. BFP played contemporary and oldies and everything in between. They know how to read the crowd to keep everyone entertained and on their feet. We didn’t want the night to end.

I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you Bonnie and everyone else on your team! I recommend BFP to all of my friends in hope I can see them play again!

Best band ever!!

Bonnie and the band blew us away! This band is so talented and kept our guests on their feet dancing the whole night! They were incredible at engaging the guests and keeping the energy up. Bonnie was super helpful with all my questions and needs prior to the wedding. 10/10 recommend this band! We had so many guests tell us how amazing they were and that they were the best band they’d ever heard!

Thinking of booking BFP? Be like Nike and Just Do It

If I could summarize Bonnie Foster Productions in a single sentence it would be, “yes” – hard stop. “Should I hire BFP for my wedding?” YES. “Can they play the music I want?” YES. “Is her band really that much better than a DJ or some of the other bands I’ve seen?” YES. “Are the singers and musicians really the best of the best?” YES. And most important, “are they worth it?” YES. They’re worth every penny.

My wife and I hired Bonnie Foster Productions for our wedding reception because we’d heard from friends, family, wedding planners, vendors, and really just about everyone we talked to, that they were the best, hands down. But, if I’m being honest, when you’re in the middle of wedding planning, quickly realizing that your budget is evaporating faster than a puddle in the middle of a Texas summer, you don’t always think as clearly as you should. But luckily, looking back at our wedding with the fresh eyes of a 2-week-old marriage, I can say that listening to literally every single person we talked to and hiring Bonnie Foster Productions may have been the single best decision we made in the entire process. Are they a wedding band? Yes. But to simply call them a good wedding band is about as inadequate as calling Michael Jordan “an average basketball player” or Vincent Van Gogh an “OK painter.” They are the best of the best. The true, crème de la crème of wedding bands.

From the moment we walked through the doors into our reception, Bonnie Foster Productions turned what was an already amazing day (I mean, it was our wedding, of course the night would be memorable) into the absolute best night of our lives! I kid you not when I tell you, the most common comment we received throughout our reception was not “wow, congratulations, you just got married!”, but rather “Oh. My. God. This band is amazing!” And trust me, I couldn’t have agreed more. From the singers who you would have promised were the original recording artists of each song they performed, to the instrumentalists who blew the roof off playing each bar of Elvis to Sinatra to Beyoncé, to absolute perfection, Bonnie Foster curated the perfect group of musical artists to bring our wildest wedding dreams to life. I can’t even say that we were the easiest couple to build a setlist for either. As a groom who wanted the music of a 40’s big band, with a bride whose greatest dream was to dance to Taylor Swift all night long, Bonnie Foster and her amazing group of artists, curated the perfect setlist and knocked each and every song out of the park, keeping all of the guest at our wedding on the dance floor from the minute they walked in until the very last song. (We even had couples get up in the middle of dinner to get back on the dance floor because BFP’s dinner music, which included a beautiful half English, half Italian rendition of “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran, was too, wait for it, *perfect*!)

So, while I could easily write a full 75-page, graduate level thesis of how phenomenal Bonnie Foster Productions is and why you, the reader, should hire them for whatever event you may be planning, I will simply leave it at this: If you’re still even questioning yourself about whether you should contact and book Bonnie Foster Productions, your answer is right here – do it! Because trust me, from one avid review reader to another, you won’t regret it.

The best band EVER. Infinity stars.

I don’t even know where to begin. Bonnie Foster Productions is the best band in the business and made our wedding day a dream come true. The first time I heard Bonnie Foster Productions was at a wedding in November of 2019. I knew immediately I wanted them at my wedding. I booked them to come to Vail on December 4,2020. 12 days before my wedding, I found out it was cancelled. Bonnie was there for me every step of the way and helped me to scout a new venue to get married on December 4, 2020 (that meant the world to me…). We decided on The Ranch in Laguna Beach and without hesitation or stress she changed all of the travel plans to make sure they could be there on December 4. Not only that, she added even more pieces to the band and we ended up with the best band (11 piece band) that had our 62 guests dancing all night long.
I have not felt so much joy or love in a place in what feels like forever. Bonnie Foster Productions is the reason for that joy and love. The music they played was EXCEPTIONAL to the point where every single one of my bridesmaids/groomsmen asked for their contact so they could have Bonnie Foster Productions at their future weddings. My twin nieces who are in college and live on the east coast told me one day when they get married, they want Bonnie to play at their wedding! My family and friends sent me more texts about how amazing the band was than about anything else! And my husband’s almost 90 year old grandma danced ALL NIGHT and was in love with the music.
The music, the energy, the flow…. absolutely superb. If I could give Bonnie Foster Productions infinity stars I would. Bonnie also worked with me on my budget to make things happen and STILL went above and beyond and I still am beyond grateful she brought additional musicians. My entire family was blown away and Bonnie Foster was the reason that my wedding was a dream come true. I am beyond grateful and will remember this day and all that Bonnie did for me/our wedding/my family and friends forever. First class service, top notch performances…. these people deserve a Grammy. I AM SO GRATEFUL and I can’t recommend Bonnie Foster Productions enough. Bonnie, you are such a sweetheart, so professional, and absolutely went above and beyond for me. Thank you, so much. I love you and can’t wait to see you all perform again! XOXOXO

Best decision i made for my wedding day!

Having Bonnie Foster Productions as the band for our wedding was the absolute BEST DECISION we ever made. The band MADE the whole night!! Literally everyone from 3 year olds to the grandparents were on the dance floor all night long. My husband and I said we had the “best night of our lives” and it seriously wouldn’t have been what it was without Bonnie and her carefully chosen band!

From the meetings early on talking about the music we liked, dancing in my living room together because we got so excited about it, phone calls and the actual carry out of the wedding day… it was all flawless, done with so much genuine LOVE and CARE. I was always excited to talk to Bonnie and left each meeting/ phone call feeling excited, pumped and most of all, calm and at ease.

Bonnie is literally SUCH A ROCKSTAR, BOSS BABE, HILARIOUS, SWEET and everything you’d want and more for someone planning your whole music evening. Her energy is contagious! She truly understands how audiences work, what will get people on the dance floor, what mixes / medleys will be fabulous and so much more.

Whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea… Bonnie will help plan your perfect day with ease. It’s literally her calling and she was born to do this. The band she put together for our wedding day was ABOVE AND BEYOND. From Beyonce & Justin Timberlake medleys, to the classic oldies, to an incredible special Latin section… we did not want the night to end!! We (the bride and groom) even ended up on stage for the last part of the night, singing and dancing with the singers and leading the crowd. We too had our rockstar moments :)

If you’re AT ALL worried about who to book for your special night, look no further. You’ve found your band!!
Thank you to Bonnie and all the amazing band members that played that night. Can we do it all again next year, same time same place?? :) I wish!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
