Night at the Museum

Booking Howl2GO was the single best decision we made for our wedding at the Field Museum in Chicago.
We always knew we would have an incredible night since every time we visit a Howl at the Moon it is an absolute blast. But we didn’t know all the other guests would feel the same way until everyone started coming up to us to say that this is the best band they have ever seen and the most fun wedding they have ever been to!
Each band member was clearly passionate and doing what they most love – they jumped up on the piano, came down into the crowd, engaged the audience, matched all the right energy, and gave it 110% at every turn.
Howl2GO gave us the show of our lifetimes and we will never forget it! We will forever be booking Howl2GO for all our future parties and events!

Beyond Expectations!

Howl2Go was everything we were hoping for at our wedding! The band was fun, energetic, flexible! Rachel took the time to meet with us before the wedding to review preferences and provide explanations. The band members were extremely talented and took requests without batting an eye. The performers were so engaging and kept people dancing all night long!! It was the highlight for so many of our guests, we received so many compliments about them after the wedding. Truly truly would recommend to anyone considering it for a wedding!

Simply the best!

My sister had dueling pianos at her reception so I knew we wanted them and they did not disappoint! So easy and transparent to work with from the start - when it came time to work directly with Rachel, we knew we were in good hands. They learned our requests, stayed away from our do not plays, and kept the crowd happy. It’s a great and unique experience!

Howl2Go - Wedding Reception

Dueling pianos hold a special place in our hearts. When thinking about the entertainment at our wedding, it was no question that we wanted to work with Howl2Go.

Howl2Go was by far one of the easiest vendors to work with. Kyle was efficient, responsive and thorough during our intro calls when going over the different options and pricing.

Howl was able to provide the ceremony and cocktail music (pre-recorded) as well as a live 3 hour show from 9pm-12am. Once we settled on our package, we were introduced to Jordan to take care of all of the wedding day-of planning.

It was no surprise that Jordan was equally as efficient, responsive, and thorough. Jordan was personable, flexible, and was able to provide great recommendations based on his experiences. He even accommodated a last-minute change to the plan for us two days before the event (thank you Jordan!).

Once the wedding day arrived, Dan and his team of musicians were on point. They were punctual and very flexible. Our wedding ceremony and reception were held in the same room. After our ceremony, Dan in partnership with the venue, went from “ceremony mode” to “party mode” seamlessly, rolling out the pianos and accompanying instruments without a single hiccup.

Howl2Go can accommodate any music genre through modern day giving that big band feel. The guests loved the entertainment selection and appreciated the change of pace from the traditional DJs. We had guest of all ages ranging from 2 to 78 rocking the dance floor all night long. It was an absolute blast and I cannot recommend working with Howl2Go enough.

The best in the business!

Truly cannot say enough about the team at Howl2Go. They were responsible for the music for the entire day & everything went off without a hitch. They were so kind and professional. They were also very accommodating and dealt with my indecisiveness and answered all my questions. They cut up our music for us and really just went above and beyond. Also their dueling piano band was iconic. I’ve been to 3 weddings where they’ve preformed, including my own, and every time they blow me away. Thank you guys!

Better than a band!

My husband and I both are fans of Howl at the Moon and so when I came across their review on Weddingwire / The Knot, I knew I had to learn more. We decided to book them because they were super cost effective compared to a band, but would also give us the opportunity to have live music at our wedding.

Jordan, our coordinator, was great in helping us compile our ceremony and cocktail hour music. For the actual night, we had Dan and his tea, and they were simply electrifying! They kept our guests on the dance floor all night, and did a great job with everyone's requests. We even threw a few curveballs at them including BTS (Korean boyband -- they learned the English version) and Despacito (Dan sang in Spanish). Our guests had such a good time and many asked how we found Howl2Go / commented on what a fun experience it was.

Highly recommend! For those wondering, we did the drums, the piano and the guitar!

The best decision for our wedding

My now-husband and I were unsure if we wanted a band or DJ for our wedding reception. Music makes or breaks an event, and we did a lot of research before picking Howl2Go. Having Howl2Go at our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we made. The band is incredible and had our guests dancing all night long. Working with Howl2Go was easy and organized, and as the bride, I appreciated that everything was taken care of during the wedding so that I could enjoy the evening. Finally, the talent of the musicians of Howl2Go is truly incredible and the energy is high. Our guests are still raving, and my husband and I are still in awe at how much fun we had at our wedding reception!

The dance floor was packed all night, and the pictures prove it :)

Choosing HOWL2GO as our wedding band was an absolute home run decision. We added guitar, bass, and drums to compliment the dueling pianos. The planning phase was effortless thanks to Jordan guiding us through each planning call. He helped make sure the things we wanted were accounted for, and more importantly helped us make sure the things we hadn’t thought of were considered.

My husband and I personally had the best time, but beyond us, almost every one of our guests have approached us to raved about the band's performance and how they kept the dance floor was packed all night!

I also was completely blown away when the band played "Taki Taki" live. It was on our must play list and I was completely expecting them to play the recorded track and the fact that they learned that track for our wedding is just above and beyond. It made my night!

I’d recommend HOWL2GO to any couple planning a wedding or anyone planning an event where you want the dance floor full from beginning to end.

So much fun

We hired Howl at the Moon as a splurge due to delaying our wedding and we were so glad to have them. Jordan, our coordinator, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable as he worked with us to block out our day. John was the coordinator on the day and we didn't have to worry about anything. He took care of all the set up and was such a talented, kind person. Our guests loved the experience. We couldn't ask for more!

Amazing Talent!

The first thing we booked as soon as we had our venue was Howl2Go. We always dreamed of having dueling pianos for our wedding, and they did not disappoint. Their TALENT was phenomenal. Our assigned musicians were Jessarae Baily and Mark Johnson, and they kept our guests engaged and entertained the entire evening. We were in awe of their unlimited repertoire and ability to spontaneously accommodate not one but TWO sing-alongs/karaoke moments during my father’s FOB speech. The company itself is super easy to work with as well, no complaints about the process. I highly recommend this company!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
