Amazing Wedding band

Hit parade is very talented and they are sure to get the party going. They communicate everything clearly and will go above and beyond to make sure the wedding runs smoothly. I would recommend this band to anyone and can’t wait to see them play live again.

Excellent!

These guys were excellent; Great songs and high energy! The dance floor was packed all night.

And, in addition to entertaining us at the reception, they took care of the audio and music during the wedding as well.

The band is what makes a wedding/reception great. Hit Parade won’t let you down!

SO much fun. Highlight of the wedding!

They were so great!! Nick was super flexible when we had to shift our wedding plans multiple times during Covid- I’m so appreciative that it was so easy to work with them. They were the highlight of our wedding. Such fun songs and I still have guests mention how great our band was. Definitely will recommend them to my friends getting married.

Hit Parade was everyone's favorite part of our wedding!

Hit Parade brought incredible energy and joy to our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on how AWESOME the band was all night long. They curated an incredible set list that kept people on the dance floor the entire night. And beyond their talent, each member of the band is really kind and fun to be around. I am so grateful we had Hit Parade at our wedding--truly made the day unforgettable. 11/10 would recommend!

So Much Fun!

Hiring Hit Parade for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! They were an absolute blast and our guests loved every song they played. The only time our dance floor emptied out was when the band took a break! They were super easy to work with and we cannot recommend them enough!

The absolute BEST wedding band!

Hit Parade was AMAZING at our October 2021 wedding. It's now been almost a month since we got married and I still have guests raving to me how much fun they had on the dancefloor. Their energy is unmatched and their set list includes the perfect mix of current songs and classic wedding hits. Not only that, they were very easy to work with and responsive in the months leading up the wedding. If youre looking to dance the night away, these are your guys!!

Everyone was on the dance floor!

No need to look any further, stop here and hire Hit Parade for your event now!!!

At first, we were debating on hiring a band for our wedding however my husband had heard Hit Parade before and was persistent that we needed to have them. & I have to say he was 100% right, this was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Nick was our liaison with the band and he really took the time to get to know us, our likes and dislikes, and came up with an incredible line-up for us and our guests. Every single song fit our style and kept the party going.
Also, not only does Hit Parade play incredible music, but they provide awesome party lighting, DJ the ceremony, cocktail hour and during breaks, and MC your event. Every aspect of their performance from start to finish was on-point. I cannot remember any other wedding I have attended that had literally every person on the dance floor, and that is exactly what happened at our wedding! Hit Parade also took the time to learn a song that was special to us and they absolutely crushed it! The vocalist, man is she good! She has incredible range and her ability to nail Every. Single. Song., we were blown away! After the wedding, we had several of our guests reached out to us wanting to know about the band and raving about their performance. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon at one of their shows!

I could keep going on, however I'll stop here and just say again - don't look any further and hire Hit Parade for your event now!

Had the Dance Floor Rocking Out All Night

Hit Parade was probably the best vendor we worked with. They were professional and understanding when the wedding was postponed and the venue changed due to covid. They customized everything for us, and most importantly, they ROCKED! I was hoping to have the reception/dancing to have more of a concert feel, and they blew away everyone’s expectations. Amanda has an incredible voice. You need to book them now if they’re available!

Don't look any further!

For those who prefer the bottom line up front: Vinyl Rhino will be what makes your wedding memorable and utterly amusing. At first, we were debating whether to spend the money on live music but, after the wonderful wedding the Vinyl Rhino helped us throw, we don't regret it one bit.

Ashley and team were incredibly easy to work with from the beginning. They really took the time to get to know us (the couple), understand our vision, and figure out ways to make the entertainment fit within that. We didn't feel at all as if they were trying to push for a pre-packaged act, which was honestly one of our fears. However, they worked with us to make it all work -- to our taste and personality.

The fact that they were not only "just the band" but all things audio, lights, DJ, and MC simplified everything for us. For each of those roles, they worked with us to ensure they were exactly what we wanted. For example, we had curated a playlist for our cocktail hour, and they didn't even ask questions, they had the playlist ready to be played exactly in the order we had told them. We very much appreciated that level of service and willingness to make our special moment indeed "our" moment -- nothing off-the-shelf, so to speak.

It's been a few months since we got married, and at friends or family gatherings the topic is usually the "band at our wedding." Not only did Ashley sing the kind of music we enjoy ourselves and we knew our guests would enjoy as well, but she took her performance to the next level. Her joyfulness, charisma, joviality, and presence made the whole performance special -- as if we had invited a top pop artist to our wedding. She very graciously balanced entertainment and performance, deliberately and opportunely interacting with guests, thereby enhancing their "having-funness" and experience, without it being overbearing.

In sum, we would definitely ask Vinyl Rhino "again" to perform at our wedding now with the benefit of hindsight. They made it the fun-filled, mesmerizing experience it was.

Absolutely amazing! People still cannot stop talking about them!

Where to begin!? I heard about Vinyl Rhino through a family friend, whose son had them perform at their wedding. After reading their song lists and watching their promo video about a million times, I decided that we absolutely needed them to perform at our wedding. Only problem was my (now) husband and I had never seen them in person! Being that we live in New Jersey and they are based out of Maryland, seeing them live wasn’t the easiest task. Long story short, my husband and his friend drove down to Maryland to see Vinyl Rhino perform and they were not disappointed. Ashley, Nick, John, and Ryan are some of the coolest and genuinely nicest people we’ve ever met… and they absolutely killed it!! My husband and I had such a blast picking out the songs for our set list and an even better time dancing the night away to them at the wedding. They even learned to play a very special song for us. The dance floor was packed the entire night. I had more people than I could possibly count come up to me asking where I found these guys. We even had people contact us asking for the bands information just because they had heard or seen someone who attended our weddings social media videos! If that hasn’t sold you yet… after our wedding was over, our venue asked if they could add Vinyl Rhino to their preferred venders list. Two months later and people are still raving about how awesome this band was!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Vinyl Rhino was such a delight to work with - they were completely on point, and even on a 90+ degree day in a barn with no a/c, they had such excellent energy, and drew people in to work up even more of a sweat! So much fun, and so so good.
