Simply Awsome!!!

Oh my goodness, I was so happy!!!! My day was made very special. Thanks so very much!!! Bryan, Linda and the rest of the wonderful Decades Band. Decades provided all the special little touches...I was serenaded by a musician while I prepared....wow.....a surprise from my new husband!! During dinner Ms Linda sang some smooth jazz. After Decades turned up the party.....Tony and I appreciated your flexibility. The price was reasonable too. We truly recommend this Band!!!

You can count on this band to bring the party, the professionalism, and the care to your event. We were quite impressed with how they read the crowd and kept our wedding moving along smoothly. We look forward to using them again in the future.

Decades band was referred to me by a friend who used them and had nothing but great things to say about their music. I was not disappointed. Their ability to play different styles of music, flexibility, and willingness to perform, made them an invaluable asset to us. From playing jazzy standards during the hors d'oeuvres to jamming on some contemporary funk for dancing, they covered it all. They were also courteous and professional.

Decades band tailored the band members to what I needed, which was musical without a singer. I was able to choose which instruments I wanted. The manager Bryan was very accommodating and the band arrived and set up timely.

Decades Band bowled us over with all facets of their appearance: the ***** above are not exaggerations! Oh, and they were true gentlemen, too (there was no star category for that). Decades Band adapted to our outdoor private venue without skipping a beat (I suppose that's important, except in reggae). They charmed all of our guests. Decades played the repertoire that we, the hosts, requested; performed some mesmerizing solos, and added in some tunes that guests requested. It was like having our own Jazz & Standards Festival that ADDED flavor to our event (some bands can distract). We’re inviting them back to a special date next year. Bravo!

Decades Band was a key component in making my wedding reception memorable. They were fantastic! They kept the party alive with a diverse variety of music. I got everything I asked for from them. I cannot wait to hire them again for another function. They were professional, responsive, and I truly felt I got my money’s worth. Hire this band, you will not be disappointed!

Hired Decades band for our 9/3/2017 wedding at Salamander in Middleburg, VA. It was a magic evening. I couldn't have asked for more from a band. Musicianship was superb and the vocal soloist was great, but beyond that they timed their performances to the mood of the guests and movements of the bride very well. I appreciated the diverse mix of songs ranging from standards to hip-hop. Everyone danced and was happy - not just the young people.
