We absolutely loved having Chris Thomas Music play at our wedding! Not only did Chris learn a song for me to walk down the aisle to, but he was very helpful bringing extra equipment we needed for the ceremony, and working with me on music choices. He also took requests from our guests and did an amazing job keeping everyone dancing the entire time.
We got so many compliments on the band, we were so happy we chose him- 10/10.

So much fun!
Chris Thomas and the band was so much fun! We hired the 5-piece band for our reception we did not regret a single thing. They were amazing! Our wedding at the Sunset Pier at Ocean Key was a dream and they played a big part of that. So nice and so accommodating, Chris even LEARNED a song we wanted in our ceremony! THE BEST!

Incredible experience with Chris and his band...
We hired Chris and his 4 piece band to play at our wedding on December 11, 2020 at the Casa Marina Resort in Key West, FL. We only wanted live music (no DJ) and I am soooo happy we went with Chris and his band. They did an INCREDIBLE job! All of our guests said how great the band sounded. They are all so talented and very accommodating. There were a few personal songs we asked Chris and his band to play and even though he did not know how to play them... he still made the songs happens for us. Chris is very good and fast at communicating and answered all my questions and believe me... there were a lot!! I would absolutely recommend Chris and his band to EVERYONE!
