The best band ever!

We were blown away by Live Wire at our wedding! They had all of our guests out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our guests could not stop raving about the band and we couldn't agree more. Live Wire performed at my brother's wedding ten years ago and they haven't missed a beat. Anthony was a pleasure to work with, the band learned (SO MANY) new songs for us, and followed our requests exactly. We have lasting memories of entering into the reception with all of our guests standing and waiting to greet us with the perfect music to accompany the occasion! We wholeheartedly recommend Live Wire!

Best Band Ever

Booking Live Wire was one of the best decisions we made! They were incredible and the entire reception was a dance party. Every song was better than the next. Nearly every one of our guests came up to us at the end of the night to say Live Wire was the best wedding band they had ever seen.

AMAZING & sooo much fun

Anthony and his Live Wire band are incredible. They definitely know how to get people up and dancing. We had a day wedding and was worried that people would be not be in the mood to dance, but Live Wire took care of that and had people dancing the afternoon away and no one wanted it to end.

Best Wedding Band!

My husbands brother & close friend both used livewire for their weddings, so we knew we were going to have a great band. They did an amazing job and everyone had a blast dancing all night. I received many compliments from my wedding guests! They also took requests, when I wanted to here some taylor swift they played her right away! My kind of band!!

Fantastic!

Live Wire is such an incredible band! We first saw them at our friend's wedding, and when it came time to hire a band, knew they were the one to go with. They play such a perfect combination of old and new songs that keeps everyone on the dance floor the whole night! SO many people came up to me during and after the wedding and told me they sounded like the real artists. Out of all of the details of our wedding, the band was the vendor we received the most compliments on - hands down! Anthony and all the band members were so professional and did a great job with our ceremony music as well. I would highly recommend them!

Amazing!!!!!

LiveWire was amazing for our wedding! Anthony was fantastic to work with, very attentive and always responded quickly to our questions. Chantele was a phenomenal singer and the band learned our first dance song perfectly so that we could perform our choreographed dance. We also had them perform during cocktail hour and it was wonderful. You won't be disappointed, all our guests loved the music and they were dancing the nigh away!!

We cannot thank Live Wire enough for an incredible night! The band and DJ were absolutely amazing and we loved everything. We had so many people ask for the band name and I wouldn't be surprised if you hear from some of our friends (and friends of friends) about having Live Wire at their upcoming weddings in 2019/2020. Thanks for keeping everyone dancing the ENTIRE night (both of my brothers didn't eat dinner because they never left the dance floor) and making our party so unforgettable. They are very responsive, affordable, and flexible to requests and making things perfect for your wedding or party. We HIGHLY recommend them and want to have another party so that we can dance the night away with them again soon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Anthony and his team were amazing to work with. They were very reliable, showed up on time and had the schedule printed/ready to go. I was very impressed how organized their band members were the day of the wedding. The couple was very pleased and I would definitely recommend them to others for weddings/events!

Hawk Inn and Mountain Resort Hawk Inn and Mountain Resort Hotel Weddings

Live Wire is a fantastic band with amazing energy! I would recommend them highly. They had the crowd on the dance floor all night, and the female lead singer was so entertaining and engaged the guests.
