We could not have asked for a better band for our wedding day! Before the event, it was very easy to communicate with Joe and he quickly answered all of our questions. Very professional and easy to work with. Our wedding night the dance floor was packed all night and all the guests had high compliments of the music! We would highly recommend choosing Joe Baracata Band for your big day!

Best wedding band hands down!

Wow I don't even know where to begin! If you are looking for a wedding band that will have your guests up and out of their seats dancing all night long hire Joe today! My husband and I were familiar with Joe from working at The Parker House where we heard him play often. When we got engaged we immediately knew we had to hire them for our wedding. I don't know how he does it with all of the many weddings he plays at, but whenever I reached out to Joe he was responsive within minutes! Before the wedding I got to really know Joe and so I had full confidence that the wedding was going to be amazing. Let me tell you that our guests were up dancing the entire night. There was not one dull moment! Not only did they get everyone up and out of their seats but the horn players came out onto the dance floor and interacted with everyone which made it even more fun!! My husband and I had the time of our lives and I cannot thank Joe and the whole band enough for making our wedding dreams come true! We love you guys!!!

The best!

The Joe Baracata Band was amazing at our wedding this July!! We had seen them several times in the Parker House basement summers past and was thrilled to see they were a preferred band at our venue, it was fate! They were beyond incredible and knew how to entertain! So many guests were out of the seats dancing the night away and told us how great our band was. Not only did they perform well, but Joe was so easy to work with. He answered emails and texts right away and had great advice. John, the piano player from the band, performed during our ceremony and was also a pleasure to work with. He knows a ton of songs and even offered to learn something new. We were extremely pleased with the band and their performance and can’t wait to see them again!! Book them now, you will not be disappointed!!

The best wedding band!

Booking the Joe Baracata Band was one of the best decisions of our wedding! We've seen them down the shore for years and knew we wanted them to play our wedding before we were even engaged -- and they still exceeded all expectations!! Joe is great to work with, super flexible and responsive throughout the entire process. They even learned my family's favorite Irish song to play at the reception. The dance floor was filled the entire wedding and our guests are still talking about how much they loved the band. Our out of town guests are already planning to take a trip to the shore this summer to see the band again. Thank you to Joe and the band for making our wedding incredible!

Look no further — book JBB ASAP!!!

First and foremost, Joe is the nicest human on this planet. With having to postpone 5 times, he was the easiest vendor to work with, from his quick responses, to totally easing my mind when I was in a state of panic (each time). We had SO many of our guests rave about the band- everyone kept coming up to my husband and I expressing how amazing the band was & how incredible they sounded. There was not one person sitting. Their song list is huge and they did a great job of picking a variety of songs for our day. The JB Band also learned new songs for our special day, “Ripple” and “Shake Down Street” by the Grateful Dead— which meant SO much to us. The band was so interactive, we loved the band/crowd participation- from the horns coming out to the dance floor, from Joe passing his guitar to my sister in law — it was truly one hell of a party. Joe was also super easy to work with when making sure my surprise tribute video for my mother went perfectly. JBB deserves more than 5 stars, more than 10 stars, I’d rate them the highest amount of stars this site provided. Do yourself a favor and book this band! Thank you so much for making our wedding so special, Joe and team!!! Xo Scotty and Morgan Nelson Xo

Best Wedding Band Ever!

Selecting Joe Baracata Band was one of the best decision we made when planning our wedding! Leading up to our wedding, Joe made the song selection and preparation smooth and seamless. During our wedding our guests ranging from age 2 to 92 had the best time on the dance floor. The band was interactive and facilitated an epic experience. Our friends and family are already planning when they can come visit to see JBB play locally, can’t recommend them more! :)

Best Wedding Band at The Jersey Shore

Book Joe Baracata Band now! An amazing band and playlist was the #1 priority for our wedding in Asbury Park, NJ, and we were not disappointed by Joe and his talented group of musicians and singers. Throughout planning, Joe was extremely responsive, accommodating and helpful. Their priority was making sure we had what we wanted for our day, and they made all of our special requests work while giving us advice along the way. Out of all the pieces at our wedding, the band was the most talked about by our guests, and the dancefloor was packed the entire night. They are extremely versatile and crush everything from Bruce Springsteen songs and fun pop/dance songs. You will not regret booking them! Thanks so much to Joe Baracata Band for the best night of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
