The Band Our Guests Are Still Talking About!

LiveWire Entertainment was truly incredible. We had actually seen them perform at a wedding we attended before our own, and after that night, we knew we wanted LiveWire at our wedding. Somehow, they were even better than we remembered!

From the beginning, everyone was extremely easy to work with, responsive, and great at communicating. We expected coordinating live music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to be one of the more difficult parts of planning our wedding, but LiveWire made it one of the easiest. They helped us choose ceremony music, took care of the cocktail hour, and worked with us to make sure all of the important songs we wanted were included. They even learned new songs for us, including our first dance song, which made that moment even more special.

From our rainy ceremony through cocktail hour and the reception, they were absolutely incredible. The reception in particular was something special. They read the room perfectly, kept the energy up, interacted with our guests, came out onto the dance floor to play, and even let us and our guests join in and belt out some lyrics. The dance floor stayed packed, and even some of the guests we never expected to see dancing were out there having a great time!

Every single guest seemed to have something great to say about the band, and months later, we are still getting compliments about them. The entire band and their coordinator were fantastic to work with. They helped with our introductions, accommodated some additional speeches, and kept everything running smoothly without ever making us feel stressed.

LiveWire didn’t just provide the music, they helped make the entire night unforgettable. We truly cannot recommend them enough, and we genuinely hope we get the chance to see them perform again!

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.

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'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!
