Best wedding band!

When my (now) husband and I sat down to discuss important pieces we wanted to have for our wedding, having a band was definitely at the top of our list. And his first comment was Hey Jimmy! He had been to two weddings where they played and I actually had a co-worker who had them at theirs as well. It was simply a no-brainer for us and boy are we glad that we had them!

They were fun, engaging and knew how to get the crowd on the dance floor. I've had SO many people tell me how much fun they had at the wedding and it was certainly a huge part thanks to Hey Jimmy. Several people have reached out wanting their name for future events.

One of the other things I appreciated was that my dad had inquired about having a mashup of two songs for our "father-daughter" dance. Jimmy immediately went to work on putting this together and shared it with us beforehand to make sure it was perfect. I thought that was beyond thoughtful and so appreciated.

Thank you for making our day memorable and giving us some amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

Live music was the splurge my fiance and I agreed on - and Hey Jimmy was worth every extra penny! I wanted to have an any-thing-but-typical wedding, and they delivered. We checked them out by crashing another wedding they were doing nearby (FABULOUS!!) and hitting a show at a local bar. The dance floor was packed, and they covered great music over a 40 year time span. They spend a lot of time with me making sure they played what we wanted and got the feel right. Many guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the party/band, and a few even told me that Jimmy's guitar rendition of "All My Love" as the bridal party walked down the aisle brought them to tears. I honestly felt like I got a steal of a deal with this band-so glad my planner (Simply Perfect by Melissa) helped me find them. Best of all, they play locally so we can go see them again any time. Snatch these guys up while you can!

The Best Band!

This band absolutely rocked my wedding! They brought incredible energy and a solid song selection aligned with my preferences that had everyone up on the dance floor. Jimmy and his crew are very talented and friendly. I appreciate them traveling all the way from Chicago to Cleveland for my special night. Their performance was sensational, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
