Best wedding band ever!

They were absolutely fantastic. Our guests have been raving about the "concert" they attended at our wedding for days! Cryin Out Loud was so much fun and kept people dancing and singing all night long!

This band made the wedding!

From beginning to end brought the party! Announcing the wedding party with a personal touch to bringing the band onto the dance floor making the guests feel super special. The guests chairs were empty from after dinner to the end of the night. Everyone danced. People saying goodbye with well wishing a to the Bride and Groom said “the band was awesome “ and “This party was bumping all night”. Even the more mature guests were dancing. They brought a superb variety of music for all ages and the utmost skilled musicians in any venue I’ve ever seen. Last but least, their professionalism, dapper dressing, and stage presence was above my expectations. My first born daughters wedding was so beautifully choreographed but the reception will be the talk of the family for decades because of Crying Out Loud. For Daughter #2 I will book this band again.

Cryin' out loud is incredible

Cryin' Out Loud was the most INCREDIBLE wedding band at our event in southern Vermont this fall. In addition to being very talented, Gregg is just an all around nice guy and he and the band are so easy to work with. Not having a chance to go see as many bands live because of COVID, we were hemming and hawing about how to make a decision – we were even debating whether to book one of those bands made up of "assorted band members" who don't really know each other in order to save a penny or two. THANK GOODNESS we went with Cryin' Out Loud instead – it was absolutely INCREDIBLE to have an 8-person band, the band's rapport and talent was incredible, and I didn't realize until the wedding was underway how much of a difference it makes that the band really knows each other and is a "REAL" band. Don't get tricked by one of those other companies and hire the real deal – Cryin' Out Loud is the real deal! My husband's father who is a musician was blown away by the talent and everyone was dancing all night and kept asking us how we booked this band. THANK YOU Cryin' Out Loud – you single-handedly made our wedding reception so high-energy and incredible!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
