Lion and Tiger, BOOK THEM!

Jess and her team were awesome! We ran into some issues with our venue but the bad dealt with any and all issues with ease. Lion and Tiger's performance was outstanding! They talked with us several times to get the idea of what we wanted and they did not disappoint. They played loud, for a long time, and got the entire wedding on their feet. Could not have asked for a better outcome. We highly recommend them!

Lion + Tiger Made Our Wedding!

We recently had our wedding at the Roundhouse in Beacon, New York. As our title suggests, Lion + Tiger was one of the best aspects of our wedding and we’re so happy that we ended up choosing them as the band. All of our guests felt the same way and we got so many compliments on the music. We really wanted to make sure that our guests were engaged throughout the night and that everyone was dancing, and Lion + Tiger delivered on this. All of the musicians are extremely talented and can play a diverse array of genres. They also played everything we asked them to. In terms of customer service, Jess was a pleasure to work with, very professional, and organized in terms of scheduling and learning the details of our day. Also, as far as bands go, Lion + Tiger is reasonably priced and could probably be charging much more for their services. We looked at a ton of bands, even some that charge much more, and Lion + Tiger impressed us the most. We’re so happy that booked them and would highly recommend!

Absolutely Incredible Experience

We researched a lot of bands and decided on Lion + Tiger because they seemed to break from the mold of wedding bands, and Jessica was so amazing to talk to. This turned out to be one of the best decisions of the wedding weekend. I’m not exaggerating when I say 90% of the people danced for the entire reception. They sounded excellent, and the songs they played were perfect based on the conversations we had throughout the process. We can’t thank Jessica and the band enough for making our day so fun and so unique (especially with the last two songs they played). Highly recommend. 10/10.

P.S. We opted for the horns section add-on and they were AWESOME.

Worth every penny!

Lion+Tiger was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! My husband and I knew from listening to them online that their sound and style was unique and they truly rocked our wedding. We are a couple in our 40s so our wedding was a bit of an older crowd. EVERYONE was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT and every single person remarked about how amazing they were. Their talent and sound is truly fabulous and every song is better than the next. Working with Jess the band leader was also amazing. She is super relatable and helpful. Also - get the HORNS!! The added dimension of the brass is truly amazing!! Lion+Tiger was worth EVERY PENNY!!!

If your definition of a good time is dancing the night away, this band is for you!

Lion + Tiger Band was the best decision my husband and I made when it came to the music at our wedding! From our first meeting with Jessica, we knew we were in for an incredible time with them. We were married on 10/8/22 at the Barn at Perona Farms and from the moment the ceremony started until the very last song of the night, EVERYONE was complimenting on this band! They were so tight and in sync, their voices were incredible, and their dedication to playing our requested songs was truly appreciated! I cannot say enough great things about Lion + Tiger - super cool and super professional. We highly HIGHLY recommend them for your next event, you will NOT regret it! Thank you, Lion + Tiger!

Best wedding band!

Words can not even begin to describe how much we loved having Lion and Tiger play at our wedding. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long and we continue to get compliments to this day. They played our requested songs so well and learned them so fast! The band was our number 1 priority for the wedding and we could not be more happy with our choice. The energy they brought was unreal and I would do the whole day over again to just listen to them play again. Thanks Jess and Lion and Tiger, you guys are the absolute BEST!

Best wedding band ever!

Do yourself a favor and hire Lion+Tiger for your wedding, it'll be the best decision you make!! We fell in love with them the first time we met them and saw them perform, we hired them before we even had a venue set! We ended up having to change our wedding date several times, and they worked through everything with us so easily. They are incredibly talented and wonderful to work with. They made our wedding so special, absolutely nailed the special requests we asked them to play, and all of our guests are still raving that this was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. I can't say enough about Jess and the band. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Best wedding band!

We cannot express how AMAZING Lion + Tiger are! Jess was wonderful throughout the entire booking and planning process. She offered flexibility and guidance as we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Till this day our guests rave about how amazing the band was. Lion + Tiger had everyone dancing the entire night. Thank you for helping make our wedding a night to remember!

Just an all-around, great, fun wedding band. Capable of handling all accepts of the day from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Engaging but not intrusive by any means. I wish they performed at all our weddings.
