Fresh Take Rocks!

We are still grinning from ear to ear and dancing in the kitchen as we ease back into our day to day. Fesh Take/Daniel was so easy to work with, quick to respond, provided proactive thoughts and played ALL of the songs we put on our play list which was way more than five, THANK YOU! It was an incredible night and the music added just the tone we were looking for. Vibes were at 10! My wife and I turned to each other recently and said who were our favorite people to work with and we both said “Daniel!”

Thank you for bringing so much energy and smiles, exactly what we were looking for!

Dancing all night

Fresh Take is an amazing wedding band! We loved that they learned our first dance song for us, it was an amazing rendition. They were fun and very easy to work with. We loved that they gave us a list of their songs beforehand so then we could curate a playlist, and they filled in the blanks to keep the vibes consistent all night long! Great singers and all the instruments sounded wonderful. 10/10 recommend if you want a wonderful reception with dancing all night long.

MVP of Our Wedding Day!

Where do I even begin? Fresh Take was hands down the MVP of our wedding day. The second they started playing, the dance floor was flooded by our guests. They nailed every single song, from our romantic first dance to the bangers that had everyone screaming "ONE MORE SONG!" at the end of the night. Beyond being ridiculously talented, they were so easy to work with and made us feel like rock stars. If you want your wedding to feel like the best concert ever, hire these guys. Seriously, just do it. Your future self and your guests will thank you!

Rocked the Party!!!

We hired Fresh Take to play our wedding reception and they were the highlight of the night! My wife wanted a top 40's cover band and I wanted rock! Fresh Take provided the perfect songs to give us exactly what we wanted. Their songbook covers a wide range of tunes that everyone knows and loves. Our dancefloor stayed full all night long! Working with them was the easiest experience and Daniel (MC) made the night flow effortlessly. Lead vocals are killer, as well as all the musicians. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this band. If you're looking for a professional level cover band, you need to consider this band! Thank you Fresh Take!!

Beyond Phenomenal!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this incredible band! From the moment we reached out to them, their communication was seamless, warm, and accommodating. They were also very organized and professional, even our coordinator remarked how easy it was to work with them. On the day of our wedding, they absolutely blew us away! Their performance was beyond phenomenal. Every song was played with such energy and precision, helping to keep to the dance floor full the entire time. They played a wide variety of top 40 hits from all generations. Our guests keep commenting on how much fun this band was--it's been the number one compliment we've received since the wedding. If you're looking for a band that will elevate your wedding to an unforgettable experience, this is the one. Thank you for making our day so special!

Made the Wedding!

Fresh Take made my daughters wedding unforgettable. They didn't just play music; they created a soundtrack for one of the most important days of her life. Every song was performed with energy and passion, and they had all the guests on their feet all night long. The band learned my daughter and son-in-laws favorite song for their first dance. There wasn't a dry eye in the room and vocals were outstanding! If you are looking for a wedding band that can play it all, look no further. Thank you for making my daughter's wedding a day we'll always remember!

Best.Band.Ever.

As the mother of the bride, I had just a few requests for my daughter's wedding that I lobbied for very hard. One was that we hire a band for the reception rather than using a DJ. I knew that a good band would set the tone for the entire evening, and provide our guests with a truly memorable, exuberant, and celebratory experience. Fresh Take was AMAZING! From the first note to the last, they played beautifully and sang a wide range of popular hits that got everyone on the dance floor. Daniel was a wonderful emcee, and the vocalist (Anita - she's incredible) and remaining musicians are all talented pros. The keyboardist played during the ceremony, and acoustic guitarist during the cocktail hour. The dance floor was full all night long and our guests of all ages raved about this band. Go with a band! Go with THIS band! You'll be so glad you did.
