Best Wedding Band!

I cannot say enough good things about Jack and the Jack Faulkner Orchestra and cannot recommend them highly enough! Our one goal in having a live band was to ensure that every one of our guests was on the dance floor and Jack and his group absolutely delivered. In preparation for the wedding, Jack was extremely responsive and met with us personally to go over the setlist and what we were looking for. Whenever we had a question or request, he was quick to respond via email which relieved a lot of pressure in the time leading up to the wedding.

While the responsiveness and professionalism were great, Jack and the band stand out because they are extraordinarily talented, sound incredible, and know how to keep the party going. My wife and I saw them play when we were looking for bands for our wedding and had high expectations. Still, we were absolutely blown away by their performance at our reception. I think the biggest compliment I can give them is that the first question/comment from every guest after the wedding (even now, almost two months later) has been "Where did you find that band? They were incredible".

If you're looking for a band for your wedding, I truly believe you cannot do better than the Jack Faulkner Orchestra.

Best wedding band in PA/NJ!

Choosing Jack Faulkner as our wedding band was one of the most important decisions we made for our big day—and it turned out to be one of the best! From the very start, Jack took the time to personally chat with us, understanding the vibe we wanted and carefully discussing song choices to make sure everything felt just right. That level of care and attention made all the difference.

On the day itself, the band’s energy was electric and their performance was flawless. They perfectly read the room, knowing exactly when to bring the party to life and didn’t stop playing til the very end. Their mix of classic tunes and modern hits kept everyone on their feet all night.

Jack and the whole band were professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making our wedding unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was! If you want a wedding band that truly listens, understands your vision, and delivers a performance full of heart and talent, Jack Faulkner is the one to book.

BEST part of our wedding!

After hearing Jack Faulkner Orchestra play at a friend’s wedding a few years ago, we instantly knew that having them play at our wedding would become the #1 need on our “wedding wishlist”!! We were lucky to continue to see them play at a few more weddings before our own, and every single time the music was amazing, the dance floors were packed, and the party was awesome. No doubt our wedding was just the same. The dance floor was incredible all thanks to Jack Faulkner Orchestra. It’s crazy how many times a song would be playing and I would look over at the band in disbelief that they weren’t actually playing a recording since they sound so great!

Aside from a great group of musicians, Jack was also such a help all throughout wedding planning. Back at the beginning after narrowing down our search to a few venues in Philly, I hopped on a call with Jack to find out their availability so we could make sure whatever venue we chose, they would be available to play. What I didn’t expect was how extremely helpful Jack was in providing some great info which actually helped us make our pick for the venue! Having played all over the city, he really helped give some good insight. Meeting with Jack prior to the wedding was also great, just getting to know him and what to expect for the “flow” of the night definitely eased any nerves. We literally had ZERO stress when it came down to the “flow” of the night because Jack made a simple outline on what he suggested as a great order of things. I also didn’t have to think about a “no play” list because they really curate a perfect playlist of songs that will get everyone on the dance floor. When the night came, everything went off without a hitch and the dance floor was packed til the last second.

If I could do it all over again, I’d book Jack Faulkner Orchestra 10000x over. They’re top notch! Professional, personable, pure talent, and overall ‘best of the best’.
Thanks again!

Outstanding

We first heard the Jack Faulkner Orchestra at a wedding in Philadelphia. We were blown away by their talent and wide array of music. Every song was perfect. We decided to hire Jack for our own wedding and our experience throughout was wonderful. Jack is a pro and really listens to his clients to plan an experience that matches their preferences. We held our wedding in northern NJ on. May 10 and all of our family and friends have not stopped talking about what an amazing band. We highly recommend them!! You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely Phenomenal

The Jack Faulkner Orchestra was the best wedding band I've seen. In the lead up to our wedding, Jack met with us and talked about what we were looking for - what style, what songs, what kind of celebration we wanted to have - and was open to our opinions while also supplying his own take on things that he's seen work best over the years. We found this very helpful, and by the end of our conversations felt very sure we were going to get the atmosphere we were hoping for. Where we didn't have a preference, Jack's decisions were always the right ones.

At the wedding reception, the band was amazing. Everything from their bridal party introduction music to the first dance songs they learned for us (with some customizations included!) to getting everybody out on the dance floor, we wouldn't have changed a thing. They knew every song, they had incredible energy, and were clearly professionals who have been doing this for a long time but haven't lost the excitement of putting on a great show. In the weeks after the wedding, we've gotten innumerable compliments about the band - every person we've talked to has mentioned how people were up dancing before the venue served the salads, and nobody sat down until the final song. I couldn't recommend this band highly enough - we were impressed at every step of the way and every member could get their own review on their musical talent.

Jack Faulkner Orchestra - best band ever!

We booked Jack only based on word of mouth recommendations and watching some content from previous events, so naturally we weren’t 100% sure what to expect. They absolutely delivered on our wedding day! The dance floor was never empty and everyone had a blast! We got so many compliments on our band. They played so many classics, but had such a cool sound, and it never felt like we were listening to a cheesy wedding band. Jack was also so great to work with leading up to the big day - he took time to meet with us in person to discuss our do/don’t play lists, order of events, and made sure our timeline was on track. Can’t thank Jack and the band enough for making our wedding night such a blast!!

Amazing!!!!!!

Incredible! Jack was in touch with us every step of the way, was receptive to our song suggestions, provided invaluable advice, and the band rocked the house come wedding time. They were the highlight of our wedding and the dance floor was always packed. It was everything we could’ve asked for. We could not recommend them more highly - everyone was remarkably talented and put on a show.
