Amazing!

Holly Heist was the highlight of our wedding. Everyone absolutely loved them, and wouldn't stop saying how awesome the band & music were!

They were extremely accommodating: they learned (and perfected) several songs just for our wedding, they showed up early, they stayed late (which was extremely generous of them), and they played the perfect music for an optimal wedding experience. There wasn't a moment in time where there was no one on the dance floor.

We also appreciate the amazing customer service they provided us. Alex met up with us to get a good understanding of what we were looking for and to map out the day of the wedding. He was also very prompt with his responses leading up to the wedding. We really appreciated everything they did and the entertainment they provided us. We will definitely be recommending them to everyone we know, and hopefully hiring them again for any future events!

Thank you Alex and the rest of Holly Heist!

Amazing Band!

Holly Heist brought the energy to our New Year’s Eve wedding. It felt like our very own private concert that kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They have an extensive song list that runs the gamut. They played both our ceremony and reception and learned a few extra song requests for our special dances. They were so easy to work with and provided everything we needed to keep the party going. We’re so happy we found them.

Best band ever!

THE BEST BAND EVER. Hands down. I would recommend Holly Heist to anyone looking to have the best wedding ever - because they will make that happen and bring the house down. Alex and the crew were so easy to work with and so incredibly accommodating with our song choices and out-of-the-box requests. 10000/10 recommend Holly Heist!! Or even just go catch one of their shows in the Northeast - you won’t regret it!

MADE Our Wedding!

Booking Holly Heist was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding - they are SO talented, fun, and by far the most commented aspect of our Maine wedding. Book them - you won't regret it :)

Awesome & Fun Band

Alex and the band were absolutely amazing for our wedding! We knew they were the best choice for us when we learned that Alex and his wife actually had the same song for their first dance that we wanted. They were so accommodating learning a new song for our parent dances and kept the dance floor going all night long! They are so much more than what you expect for a wedding band and we cannot wait to see them perform again soon!

This is the band you need to have at your wedding.

Holly Heist absolutely made our wedding and were such a treat to work with throughout the whole process. They are extremely accommodating and willing to learn any song they don't already know.

From our ceremony music to encores at the end of the night, they added such a fun and special touch to our wedding that no one else could have done.

Super fun wedding band

Alex and his band made my wedding so much fun! He was great to work with planning the songs and logistics. Very respond and kind. Love how they have their own style to hit songs and accommodate special requests. Having the band and them DJ was perfect. Highly recommend.

Absolute perfection!!

Holly Heist was everything we wanted and more for our wedding celebration. Alex was incredibly responsive and attentive during the planning process. I had so much fun being able to personalize our playlist with their amazing selection of songs, including asking the band to learn a few new songs we had on our mind. I absolutely love how the band fed off the energy of our friends and family. I have been to many weddings with live bands and I have not had as much fun as I did with Holly Heist and our entire party felt the same way. They truly made our whole day and evening the most special (and most fun!).

Awesome Band

Alex + Co killed it. Everyone was out on the dancefloor all night. Guys were super accomodating and able to provide mics for the ceremony (even with a last minute move inside due to the rain). Alex was super responsive over e-mail and the band learned a few custom songs for us, we would highly recommend them to other couples looking for a band.

Amazing! Talented! So Easy to Work With!!

Holly Heist performed at our wedding on July 24th, 2021 in Caratunk, ME and they were absolutely AMAZING! From the time we booked with them over a year in advance right up until the day of our wedding, Alex was always kind, courteous, professional, and so incredibly easy to work with!! Not only did the band learn our first dance song, they also learned my father/daughter dance selection and my husband's mother/son dance selection. They kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! We got SO many compliments on their performance and how well they sounded together! They even allowed my husband, his friends, and myself play a few songs with them as our family is very musically involved as well! We would 100% recommend Holly Heist for any of your events! You won't be disappointed!
