The best wedding band!!!!

No Standards were the life of the party!! I couldn't have been happier with how they performed and how they handled everything start to finish. They were communicative from the time I hired them, they had a huge setlist to pick from, and they really read the vibe of the room. They even let me sing with them for a few songs!! Every wedding guest said that they were the absolute best!

The best vendor choice we made!!

No Standards absolutely rocked our wedding!!! We scouted out several bands at local bars the year before our wedding and as soon as we saw them, we knew they were it! They had everyone out on the dance floor singing and dancing the night away. Super easy to communicate with, and they flawlessly ran our reception so the party went off without a hitch. We had 2 pieces (guitar/violin) for the ceremony, and from what I heard it was amazing. We also added on a sax as and it was worth every penny— he was incredible!!! They honored every request, even playing and singing along with the few they had to DJ so it was a seamless performance. They were interactive with everyone, and we wished we could’ve partied through the night with them. Can’t wait to catch them more places locally so we can relive our wedding dance party!

If you’re considering No Standards—BOOK THEM!!! You will not regret it.


On top of that, they are just genuinely great people—Steve is especially kind and a pleasure to work with.

We have received nonstop rave reviews from our guests about how amazing the band was. Folks want to go see them perform down the shore or use them for their kids weddings!

Our Wedding Day

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. Walking down the aisle to the beautiful music you played was one of the most unforgettable parts of the day. Especially when you learned and played our song - "A Better Place." It felt like time stood still during that moment, and we will cherish that memory forever! - Christine and James

Incredible Wedding Band

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding band! They absolutely nailed our vibe and kept the energy up all night long. The playlist felt very tailored to our style and every song flowed seamlessly. Everyone we've spoken to since the wedding has commented on how great the band was. No Standards made our wedding unforgettable and we can't recommend them enough!!!

Best band around!

If you’re looking to book a live band I suggest considering No Standards. Not only are they a very talented group, they are professional, easy to work with and great entertainers. They perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour as a string triplet, played full live sets and DJ’ed during breaks. They executed special planned requests from us and requests from guests during the party. Can’t say it enough times, they really are the best.

Couldn't recommend them enough!

This band is so awesome. In every way. They performed our first dance song and made it a slowed-down version of the actual song and it was PERFECT. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the music was. They are also fantastic with communication and were so patient with us as we worked through the music choices for our big day. They made our wedding night an absolute blast and I am so happy we hired them.

Best wedding band ever!

The most amazing wedding band! So talented and nice, everyone loved them and still talks about the band! The band was so much fun and they even loved when our priest got up and rapped while they played! 100% recommend not only for events but also to go see them play all over NY and NJ!

No standards "made our wedding"

No standards was our dream wedding band. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish and helped us customize the perfect wedding playlist for us. They even learned a few songs for us to make it even more special! What a dream to get to walk down the aisle (for me!) to Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional on the violin, cello and guitar-- beautiful. And they even learned a super niche Say Anything song (I want to know your plans) which was our first dance song. We had so many people tell us after the wedding how much they enjoyed the band and that it "made the wedding" which we couldn't agree more. They did essentially an hour of "Emo night" to end the wedding and it got all our friends on the dance floor belting out each song together which was also our dream ;), after they'd played some more typical wedding songs to satisfy our non-emo fan guests earlier in the night. But truly, they will create whatever experience you want. And if you are especially looking for the "not your typical wedding band" or your dreams as they advertise themselves, they are that band. And also wonderful humans. Thank you No Standards! We wish we could get married again so we could have you play again too!

Your guests will thank you

Can't say enough great things about Steve and the entire No Standards crew. They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, catered to our needs re: vibes, playlists/songs, run-of-show, etc., and put on a tremendous concert that had everybody on their feet the entire night. They made our special day even more special, and now our family and friends are booking them for birthday parties and other events. 10/10!
