Mother of the bride

Moonshine provide a jazz trio for a cocktail hour and a full band for the reception. They were very easy to work with and rocked the house. No one wanted the party to end. Young and old were dancing all evening. Highly recommend!

Best Party Ever!

The reception was the best party I have ever been to, much less had the privileged to throw! The Hippodrome venue was fantastic. Moonshine Society was the perfect fit and drove the party! It would not have happened without you. Thanks to Jenny and the band...absolutely fabulous. Hope to see you all again real soon.

Amazing band, music and dancing all night, lovely people

We had an outdoor wedding in September 2021 and had Moonshine Society as our band. They were INCREDIBLE. Our goal was to have great live music that kept the guests dancing ALL night- and thats exactly what they were able to create through their song selections, style of music, professionalism, and performance. The vocals and musicians were amazing, the sound system was amazing, everything about this group is an A+. If you are interested in throwing a fun wedding with great music then look no further.

We rescheduled our wedding 4 times during the Pandemic- and each time, Jenny the Band leader was kind and accommodating in helping us make the new date work. We lived out -of-state and found them online through videos and ECE East Coast Entertainment.

Hire this band!!

I can’t say enough positive things about Moonshine Society. What a wide range of talent!!!
I hired their guitarist to play a list of requested songs before and during the wedding ceremony. He even accompanied my vocalist with her solo!
The band played jazz during dinner followed by a wide range of dance music that had the entire crowd on their feet for the rest of evening!
Jenny and the band were professional, on time, and accommodating to all of our needs! I highly recommend this band to everyone!!

Your Best Choice in Wedding Entertainment!

Impeccable Vocals, Amazing Sounds, Diverse Repertoire, High Energy, Upmost Professionals . . . these are just a few of the traits that come to mind when we think about Moonshine, and their performance at our wedding! Hiring Moonshine was easily one of the best, and smartest, decisions we made for our wedding; and we couldn’t have been happier with their performance and the level of professionalism, from start to finish. They provided top quality entertainment for guests of all ages (from the young teens to older adults), and it wasn’t long before our entire party was dancing and having a GREAT time!
What attracted us to Moonshine was their soul-foul style and unparalleled talent. After speaking with their band leader, Jenny, it was clear that Moonshine was the perfect band for our special day. When it was show time, they delivered! Our primary communications leading up to, and on the day of the event, were with Jenny, who was absolutely lovely. Jenny is a top-notch professional, and will not only help your event run smoothly, but she does a great job of reading the crowd, and adjusting if the schedule is running a big ahead (or in our case, a bit behind).

We could not be more grateful to Jenny and the Moonshine band for creating such a fun, memorable experience for all of our guests. If you’re looking for an AMAZING wedding band, look no further!

Amazing Experience with Moonshine!

The Moonshine experience was amazing! They provided the perfect blend of music for our wedding reception and had everyone dancing all night long!
Moonshine is composed of impeccable musicians and complete professionals. Jenny made the entire process seamless, including navigating a COVID reschedule and 3 special tune requests (2 of which my dad and I sang with the band!) I absolutely would recommend booking Moonshine for your next event for a stress-free planning process and most of all, incredible, top-notch entertainment!

Incredible band, stellar band leader, and great agent!

My husband and I had Moonshine perform for our wedding of 200 guests. Jenny Langer at ECE made the whole booking process so easy and transparent. The band itself was organized, professional, super talented, and exaclty what we wanted- A classy, NOT CHEESY, band playing classic hits. We wanted to hear more Stevie Wonder/Aretha Franklin, less Lady Gaga/Taylor Swift, and Moonshine was absolutely perfect. Thank you to Jenny and team!

They brought the party!

Moonshine society played at our wedding reception in October 2019 and they were absolutely FABULOUS! We had so much fun dancing all night. We have had many people (even months later) tell us that they were the most fun wedding band they've heard in a long time!!! We would recommend them a million times over!

Awesome Band / Awesome Musicians

Moonshine Party Band was fabulous in every way. Their marketing materials were current, the booking process was very smooth, the attention to planning details for our event was appreciated and most importantly they are all AWESOME MUSICIANS. I appreciated the high level of professionalism, the ease of communication and their courteous nature. They performed for our annual corporate party. Our employees loved the variety of music and danced all night. The band read the crowd well and played something for everyone. We would love to have them play for our event again. I highly recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
