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.

The Best Band!!

We had the best experience at a friend’s wedding dancing to Men in Black that we had to book them for our own wedding and we couldn’t be more thankful that we did. Jeff made the process so stress free and fun for us from the start of our wedding planning to the day of the wedding. He is so knowledgeable regarding how to clip certain songs for the wedding ceremony, wedding entrances, first dances, etc. and kept everything on time in order to allow for optimal time spent on the dance floor. The most compliments I received from guests on my wedding day was how amazing the band was and how much fun they had on the dance floor and that was so important for my husband and I. They brought such amazing energy, were flexible with songs and even learned an extra song for us knowing how much it meant to us. All songs that they played were high energy and kept the guests dancing all night. I didn’t see any guests sitting during our wedding and that is a testament to how amazing the Men in Black Band is. Not only are the song choices top notch but everyone in the band is so incredibly talented and great to work with. They pulled the bridal party on stage multiple times throughout the night and had us playing instruments which was such a highlight of the night. Could not recommend them more!!

The dance floor is NEVER empty with them.

While previewing bands to play my wedding I first saw them at a sports bar - and half an hour later I KNEW I was hiring them. Their crowd work, energy, sound and style is phenomenal. Live music was a must have for my wedding, and I am beyond thrilled with their performance - they blew the doors off. Three songs into the DINNER set, people were on the dance floor dancing. I paid for an extra hour, and at 11pm the floor was full, with people calling for more songs. They worked the crowd, had the groomsmen perform a song, the bridesmaids doing a song, and even *I* was playing guitar despite not knowing how. If live music is something you want - look no further, this is the band you want to book. They are polished, practiced, and can adjust the playlist on the fly to keep the party moving and great moments happening. Thank you guys for the amazing night.

Amazing band!!!

Men in Black is THE BEST BAND to get your celebration started and keep the party going. From start to finish they were easy to work with, helped us plan the timing of everything….then got EVERYONE on the dance floor- even those who don’t dance! They definitely know how to get all to join in and have an amazing time! My daughter’s wedding was PERFECT (at Beauport hotel in Gloucester which was also amazing) and I would not have chosen any other band to play at her wedding. I am still getting text messages raving about everything! I don’t think the band even took a break! HIGHLY RECOMMEND👍🏽

Great Band

Men In Black performed at Wright's Mill Farm in August for my daughter's wedding. The band did a great job getting guests involved. I especially loved playing the maraca with the groomsmen and band. The band was the hit of the wedding!

Best,
Kenny

Couldn't recommend them more!

We are SO happy we had Men in Black be our band for our wedding!! Guests were singing their praises throughout the night and contacting us afterwards to do so, too. Their talent is evident and the fun they were having was infectious. They were super interactive with the dance floor, but not in a show-off way that I’ve seen other wedding bands do - it was solely for getting the crowd involved to have more fun and enjoy themselves more. It was awesome. Jeff was collaborative and great to work with leading up to the wedding, too. Highly recommend booking them!!

Awesome Wedding Band!

Men in Black played at our wedding in Vermont last September and they were truly incredible! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. They played to the crowd and were very engaging which was awesome. Jeff was great to work with throughout all of the planning and helped to create a set list and timeline that worked for us. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we could not recommend them enough as a wedding band!!

“Best wedding I’ve ever been to!”

My husband and I hired Men in Black after we saw them at our friend’s wedding and we were planning our own. They are SO talented, high energy, and we were told by many of our guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Their playlist spans new and old music which kept our dance floor packed the whole night. They’re interactive in the best ways (my husband and me + our wedding party went “on stage” and played various instruments like cowbells and tambourines) which made it fun for all the guests. We’ve had so many people ask us about the band - they are THAT good. I’ve been to many weddings and seen a lot of other bands and Men in Black blows them all out of the water (those bands have 5 star reviews, too…). I truly can’t recommend them enough, they made our day so fun and special.

Cape Cod Wedding

We had Men and Black play at our wedding this past June at the Pelham House Resort and they absolutely blew it out of the water!!! From start to finish they were nothing short of amazing! Jeff and the band kept the energy alive throughout the night and helped make our wedding an unforgettable night for us and our guests! We were recommended Men and Black by multiple people and now know why- my husband Ben and I cannot recommend them enough!

This band is AMAZING!!!

We were already familiar with Men In Black because they had played at a family wedding, and we knew we wanted them to be part of ours! Jeff was friendly and patient to work with and answered our many questions in a timely manner. On our wedding day, the band set up quickly and quietly and Jeff was our DJ for the ceremony and cocktail hour music. The band played an upbeat yet relaxing dinner set, then Jeff emceed our toasts (and was kind & professional about keeping us on schedule when we fell a bit behind). The band played all our first dance songs beautifully, and then they REALLY showed us what they could do by keeping the party going all night long!! They took no breaks, had fun interactions with guests, and even learned my husband’s favorite song! The dance floor was bursting with joy and everyone danced the entire time, which is exactly what we dreamed of! Thank you so much, Men In Black!!!
