Incredible!

Brooke and the Nice Things were an absolute highlight of our entire wedding experience. They were enthusiastic, flexible partners in creating our day and, most importantly, they sounded fantastic. We wanted a real, authentic band that played weddings, not an off-the-rack wedding band, and Brooke and the Nice Things were exactly that. They have a deep catalog of soul, R&B, rock and roll and curated a perfect setlist for our guests. They got the entire guest list dancing on the floor the whole night.
Steve and Brooke were incredibly dependable, professional and helpful throughout our planning process and through our big night.
We can't thank or recommend them enough.

Best Wedding Band of all time!!!

Brooke & The Nice Things were the best band ever!!! We used them for ceremony piano, cocktail hour jazz trio, emcee services, and reception band. Every single person we have talked to about our wedding last weekend has GUSHED about what a fantastic band they are and how they have never seen a dance floor stay so packed up until the very last song! One of our friends told us he was going to get married just so he could hire Brooke &TNT for his wedding! The manager Steve was great to work with, and overall planning with them was a very smooth and enjoyable process. They coordinated directly with our venue and even went onsite without me to ensure everything would go smoothly day-of. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional entertainment for a wedding or event.

Best Wedding Band Ever!

If you want a live band for your wedding look no further! My husband and I had Brooke and The Nice Things perform at our wedding 11/9. Steve and Brooke were amazing to work with! Brooke is truly talented, her voice is amazing, along with the rest of the instrumental band! We had a smaller wedding of about 120 but our guests were dancing all night! Brooke and the band also learned our first dance song and absolutely nailed it! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this band and look forward to watching them perform at local gigs in the future.

Brooke and the Nice Things - the perfect band for an unforgettable night!

Hiring Brooke and the Nice Things for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Steve and the band were so easy to work with start to finish. At the wedding, their music kept the dance floor full all the way until the final song, and then through the encore as the crowd was chanting for more! They easily gained another hundred fans at our wedding. They were engaging the entire night, and so communicative leading up to the wedding to make sure the night and performance were all we were hoping for. They made our night so magical and we couldn't have asked for anything more! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a live band at their wedding!

Hire Brooke & the Nice Things - you won't be disappointed

We hired Brooke and the Nice Things nearly two years ago for our wedding, which got delayed by the pandemic like so many others. They kept in contact with us, were very flexible about the forced reschedule, and were extremely easy to deal with. We already knew they rocked, as we'd initially seen them perform at Entitled and became completely obsessed with them. I still can't believe we got them to play our wedding. They did an outstanding job. Our guests were blown away by how great the band was and its been a frequent topic of conversation in the days that followed our event. Thank you Brooke, Steve, and all the Nice Things for being everything we wanted and more. You guys absolutely killed it. - Eric and Victoria

Brooke and the Nice Things are the perfect band for your wedding

Brooke and the Nice Things are an amazing band and will have your wedding on their feet! The live music sounded incredible. Our guests cannot stop talking about the dance party. Brooke was also the perfect MC to keep the night rolling. Working with the band and with their manager, Steve, was the easiest part of our planning - and their execution was flawless, professional, fun, and personalized to our desires. Hire BNTNT for your wedding!

Fabulous Wedding Band

I hired Brooke and the Nice Things for a wedding I planned in July of 2021 and I was blown away by how professional, organized and of course talented they are. Brooke kept the party going all night and the guests had a fabulous time. I highly recommend them and can't wait to work with them again in the future!

10/10 home run

We really can't recommend Brooke & The Nice Things enough. I know that I may be biased because it was my own wedding, but I really think they were the best wedding band I've ever seen. The dancefloor was packed all night and people couldn't stop talking about how good the music was. They aren't your cookie-cutter wedding band -- they are seriously good musicians with an awesome set list and cool vibe. The band was also super helpful, professional and easy to deal with in planning the wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
