Best Wedding Band Ever!

Downtime Band is responsible for making our wedding one to remember! We were married Oct. 16, 2021 in Springfield, Mo. and we STILL have guests talking about how amazing Downtime was! "I never left the dance floor the entire night," is what pretty much every guest at our wedding has told us. My husband, myself, and my family will forever be grateful to Downtime for creating the most amazing party and memorable wedding for all of our guests. Don't hesitate to book them for your wedding!

Great choice for our big day!

Downtime were fantastic! We had them for our wedding earlier this month and we were so pleased with our choice! Working to get them booked was an easy process through ABE and working with Jon leading up to the event was also very easy. He was great to work with in helping to finalize the set list for our event and all of the fine details and was very responsive to emails throughout. On the day of, they were set up on time, professional and put on a great show! We especially loved the young woman on vocals and it was great to see our guests up and dancing all night long! Overall, they were a great addition to our big day and we had a blast! Thanks so much Downtime!

My Wife and I knew from the beginning that we wanted a band for our wedding. After lots of research and recommendations from our Wedding Planner, we came across Downtime. We knew immediately Downtime was right for us as soon as we heard their sound. From the horn section, male/female vocals, to the talented musicians, it was a perfect fit for us. During the wedding reception, Downtime exceeded all of our expectations. They were very good at keeping the energy high and smoothly transitioning into songs. I appreciated the mashups that the band performed as well. The song selection was on point and we could tell they looked at our song selection sheet when planning their set list. Not only was the 8-Piece band wonderful, our Jazz Trio Band during dinner was fantastic. We received just many compliments for the Trio as we did for the full piece band. Thank you Downtime for making our wedding a night we will never forget!

We loved the Downtime Band! We had the 9 piece band with three lead singers. They were amazing! They listed to our song requests, and knew which types of music to get the dancing going. They played a good mix of fast and slow songs and the singers killed it! Our guests were raving about how amazing they were. Several people told me days after the wedding that they were still thinking about how good the band was! Jon Spindler was great to work with. I highly recommend the Downtime Band if you’re looking for a dance party all night!

I can't say enough good things about Downtime Band! From the start, the coordination with Jon was seamless, even when we had some specific requests for our first dance. At the reception, they made sure to keep on schedule, even when we got carried away talking to people. Our dance floor was packed nonstop until the last song. They made sure to perform our requested songs and did such a phenomenal job. We had and still have so many guests raving about the band. Highly recommend!

The BEST!!! 10 stars! We knew we wanted Downtime after dancing all night with them at a friend's wedding. I would contact them as soon as possible for your event date....you will be sad if you can't book them! Promise. Jon was great to work with. Quick to respond to questions, so fun and always professional. The entire band was everything we wanted and beyond so! Our guests are still raving about how awesome they were. I can't wait until I see them again.

We absolutely loved Downtime band! We could not have been happier with Jon's attention to detail, ability to help with any request, response time, and of course, the music! Our guests were amazed at the breadth of range, the talent, and the nonstop music. Our goal for the reception was to have an unbelievably fun night, and Downtime made that happen. Definitely the best decision we made in the planning process. Would recommend them to anyone and rehire in a second.

We absolutely loved the Downtime Band! Our guests loved them too - we received so many compliments on how great the band was. They are incredibly professional and easy to work with. Plus, they kept the energy level high throughout the reception that most of our guests stayed until the very end which was a lot of fun! I definitely recommend them for any reception or event! I'm so glad we chose the Downtime Band! Our reception wouldn't have been as much fun without them!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Downtime Band perform at our wedding reception. From the initial contract through the final song, everything went very smoothly. Jon was very organized, easy to work with and very professional at all times. Throughout the evening and the weeks following, we received MANY compliments from our guests regarding Downtime Band. It's a true testament to the band that our dance floor was packed all night and up to the conclusion of the final song.

My wife planned and executed a perfect surprise at the beginning of the reception by singing a song to me. Jon went above and beyond to obtain her guitar, tune it and have it ready for her. This is just one example of their commitment to us. The music was excellent, and the energy was high through the last song. As part of the contract, the band even learned two new songs for us, which were used for the father/daughter and mother/son dances.

Thank you to Downtime Band for your help in making our wedding reception very special! We most definitely recommend Downtime to anyone that is considering.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What an amazing company to work with! Jon Spindler is reliable, professional and very knowledgeable of his craft. I have worked with him and every band Downtime offers on all kinds of events, from Wedding Receptions, to Corporate events, to Black Tie Galas. They have just the right amount of entertainment options to match my event needs and I trust that it is quality music every time. If you need a ten piece band or a three piece jazz trio I highly recommend Downtime Productions!
