Great Band For the Most Recent Music to the Classics

We couldn't say enough about Bud and his band! They're incredibly talented, entertaining, and can sing everything from the most recent Top 10 Billboard Hits to the Classics - they'll even learn a few songs for you if they don't know them! The best part is that they're super versatile with the number of players/singers/intruments you can get. Bud is the friendliest man alive, and his entire team of musicians and singers are great. It's a big miss if you don't hire them for your big day!

All the reviews are true - Bud Maltin and his band are the best!

We are music lovers, so when planning our wedding the music was a top priority. Because we were planning at the height of the pandemic, we never got to see any bands live (including Bud), and had to go off of reviews, videos, and conversations with the bands themselves. From our first call with Bud, it was obvious he loved music (including much of the same stuff that we love), he knew how to get a party started, and he was easy to talk to and work with. Leading up to our wedding, Bud met with us several times and provided great suggestions on music as we wanted a focus on funk, soul, and disco - and he helped put our pre-wedding anxiety at ease.

On the day of, Bud and his band killed it! From the ceremony music (all Beatles songs performed on flute and guitar), to cocktail hour (piano jazz), to the reception - everything flowed well and we had the packed dance floor we dreamed of. Bud is a great MC and his bandmates are truly talented. Our crowd loves live music and loves to dance, and so many of our guests commented on how great the band was. Everyone especially loved when the singers and horns came out on the dance floor with the crowd. Plus, they really do the best Hora!

We feel lucky that Bud and his band kept us on the dance floor all night, and even when we tried to step away the music just kept pulling us back. Thank you to Bud and the whole band for making our wedding so fun and memorable!

Bud Maltin is the best!

Bud Maltin and his band were unbelievable at our wedding this past weekend. Bud was so wonderful to work with in the lead up. He was very organized and easy to communicate with. On the day of the wedding he and his band knocked it out of the park. They created such a fun vibe and their musicians and singers were incredible. The energy on the dance floor was electric! I can't count how many guests came up to us saying how much they loved the band. Highly highly recommend this group for your next event. Thank you to Bud and his band for making our wedding an unforgettable experience :)
