Great experience!

Men in Black are the best! We hired them after interviewing a few different bands. We liked that we knew exactly who we were getting, since the band doesn't rotate members in and out depending on availability like some of the other wedding bands on the circuit. We did not have a chance to check out a live showcase before making our decision but we went off of MiB's great reviews, their videos, and our very positive conversations with Jeff. We made the right decision!

In the months leading up to the wedding, Jeff was extremely available for phone calls regarding timelines, music selections, and other questions. We ended up adding on an extra hour of Nick the pianist's time for cocktail hour- it was an easy process to add this on and it streamlined our decisions since we didn't have to hire a separate musician. They would've done our ceremony too if we'd wanted, but we had our ceremony offsite at a church. The band was flexible in terms of song selection- we gave them our input and they did a great job mixing in our requests with crowd favorites. We wanted to use the recorded version of our first dance song, so they agreed to learn another song that was not on their list in its place, which we really appreciated!

On the day of the wedding, the band was prompt and professional. Nick did a great job during cocktail hour and having the piano music really elevated the experience. The band played a lowkey set during part of dinner, and once dinner was done the party was rolling! Every member of the band brought incredible energy the entire night and it was clear they were genuinely having fun! During our prewedding calls Jeff had mentioned a "audience participation" component- honestly I was a little skeptical, but (without spoiling it), he and Wendy do an amazing job of getting everyone involved without having it be cheesy or forced! My family loves to rock out at weddings and so it was really important to me to have a band who could crush it. Men in Black more than delivered!! You will not regret hiring them for your wedding.

10/10 Best band

Men in black performed at our wedding on 9/29/23. We can not say enough great things about this band. They had the dance floor packed the entire night! They were so interactive with us and our guests. Everyone was saying what an awesome time they had and how great the band was. Fun fact: they also played at my brothers in 2008 and was exactly what I remembered! The dance floor always packed! Do yourself a favor and hire them!!! It will be the best decision you will make !

“This band is so great!”

Men in Black came up to Portland, Maine for our wedding 09/16. Jeff communicated thoroughly prior and worked with us in developing a Plan B in case we needed to pivot due to Hurricane Lee. Luckily enough we were able to stick with Plan A and Men in Black played on stage in a tent right on the water. It’s hard to tell if I heard more “Congratulations” or “this band is amazing/awesome/great/etc.” wouldn’t change a thing of their performance. If you do go with Men in Black be sure to select “Pony” from their song list selections it REALLY gets people going. Thank you Jeff and Team.
