Hire These Guys If You Want an Incredible Event

Near the tail end of our wedding night, my fiancee and I noticed an unfamiliar couple dancing in the far corner of the dance floor. We went up and asked how they knew the bride and groom, and, after a bit of hemming and hawing, they admitted that they were wedding crashers. It turns out that were guests at another wedding in the same venue that night (it's a big building) where the music was mediocre. They heard our music from the hallway, realized it sounded much better than theirs, and decided they wanted to dance to some good music for once that night, so they snuck into our ballroom. We all took a selfie and then went back to dancing.

Nothing is as important to an event's overall tone and feel, the impression that it leaves in your guests that night and afterward, as the music. If your event has ho-hum music, your guests will have a ho-hum time and leave with ho-hum memories. If the music is incredible, however, your guests will have an incredible experience and the night will be unforgettable.

BroadSound is a band that will give your guests an incredible experience. From the start of the night until the end, the band just *rips*. Their music sounds awesome, their performance is lively, and they bring a fantastic energy to the event that just makes everyone feel good. Part of that is that they are tremendous musicians, but that's really just the beginning of it. They play together with incredible chemistry; watching them interact and groove together on the stage will make you grin. Part of it is that they are just natural showmen. Aaron and his crew know how to get a party started and keep it going all night. These guys are well-seasoned pros, and it shows. Watching them perform gives you the feeling that these guys were just put on earth to play music and make people dance.

But it isn't just that the music sounds so good; dealing with the band was a breeze. Aaron was easy to get ahold of and communicate with throughout the planning process. My fiancee and I asked them to learn a few new songs for our wedding, including for our first dance, and it was no problem (unsurprisingly, the songs sounded wonderful). Two of their musicians also performed for our ceremony, and the week before the wedding, I asked if they could prepare two different songs to play for one part of the processional, so I could listen to them both on the wedding day and make a game-time call. They rolled with it like champs; I listened to both songs during the pre-ceremony set-up and made a selection, and it ended up sounding great. The fact that I had injected a bit of uncertainty into things at the last minute didn't flap them at all; they were pros. And speaking of the setup, they showed up on time and set up everything smoothly. While a wedding day inevitably is chaotic, BroadSound didn't add to the chaos. They were one aspect of the situation that I never needed to worry about, and made things for my fiancee and me easier, not harder.

You have a choice to make: do you want your event to be just okay, or do you want it to be incredible, a night that your guests will never forget? If you want the latter, pick BroadSound. It's that simple.

BroadSound brought the Fire!

Aaron and Broadsound gave an amazing performance at our wedding. From my initial outreach to the final song on our wedding night, they were professional, organized, on-time, fully equipped and easy to work with. Musically, they completely set the mood and made it a special, warm vibe for our celebratory evening. We especially enjoying the full band incl. the vocals and the horns! They did a fantastic job with our first dance songs and handled emceeing the evening with ease. Truly elevated our whole evening. Thanks so much to Aaron and the Broadsound Band team for delivering the goods!

We Hired BroadSound And You Should Too

BroadSound was simply amazing! They learned our special songs, answered all of our questions and provided an mp3 edited version of our first dance so we could practice for our big day. Our guests are still talking about the band a few months later. I cannot express my appreciation to Aaron and BroadSound. They were always professional and responsive to our questions and request. They even let my husband and his groomsman friends sit in for a couple tunes. It was awesome! Simply the best!

Dance the night away!

Such a fun band for our wedding! They played songs of many genres to keep everyone dancing. They were also able to learn our special songs expeditiously and meet all our requests. No one wanted to stop dancing when our venue time ran out!

Amazing band!

I'm an event planner and just had Broadsound's Polaris Band perform at my client's wedding and they were a HUGE hit. They have amazing voices, have such stage presence and had the crowd going the entire time. They also covered some more modern songs that you don't hear at weddings often that guests were delightfully surprised to hear. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be recommending them to future clients!

Highly Recommend BroadSound

BroadSound is dynamite. Countless guests let us know BroadSound was the best band they’d ever heard at a wedding. My wife and I agree BroadSound was the X-factor that really made everyone’s night special. We did a lot of research to find a group with lots of range, great energy, and the talent to nail challenging songs. Our goal was to avoid a canned performance (i.e., a wedding band) and find a group of professional musicians who can really play. They read the room, found the energy, knew the music we like, and the dance floor stayed packed all night.

Highly Recommend!!!

As a wedding planner, I get to work with many bands and entertainment teams, and I have to say, this one was exceptional! They brought such incredible energy to the wedding from start to finish. The dance floor was packed all night, and their talent, professionalism, and seamless coordination made my job easier.

Communication leading up to the event was organized and responsive, and on the wedding day, they were punctual, flexible, and an absolute joy to work alongside. The guests (and most importantly the Bride & Groom) couldn’t stop raving about the music and how much fun they had!

I would 100% recommend them to any couple or planner looking for a big band that not only sounds amazing but also truly knows how to elevate a celebration. I can’t wait to work together again in the future!

Incredible Night!

BroadSound was phenomenal! They brought so much energy, fun, and talent to our reception, the dance floor was full all night. Their setlist perfectly matched our vibe, and they knew exactly how to keep guests of all ages engaged. They were also incredibly easy to work with, professional, and accommodating to every detail. Truly a highlight of the night! My guest can not stop talking about them!

Best wedding band ever!

BroadSound band was an incredible choice that really made our wedding day that much better on August 24th, 2024. From the planning process with Aaron, curating our playlist, coordinating a secret private song I got to sing with for my husband at our wedding, singing during my bouquet toss - everything went so smoothly! They even sang a Pitbull song to my grandma as a shout out for her 89th birthday! We still have our guests talking about the band and how much fun the energy was, almost every single person was on the dance floor for 3 hours straight. It felt like a concert almost, and we will truly never forget how all out they went. Thank you so much to all of BroadSound band for your experience you all put together for us. As music lovers and dancers, we can highly recommend this band for any wedding!
