Danced all Night

The band was absolutely incredible at keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long! Their energy and talent were unmatched, and they had an extensive 9-page list of songs to choose from, covering every genre and era you could imagine. It was clear they were very skilled musicians who knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the party going. If you want a talented group that will have everyone dancing and enjoying themselves, this band is the perfect choice!

Absolutely. Incredible.

It’s impossible for us to emphasize how much NCO’s performance meant to my bride and I. EVERY single person we have talked to about our wedding mentions how great they were. Music is very important to us and their performance was absolutely amazing. We cannot recommend these folks enough.

Incredible!!

The most fun wedding band ever. Incredible song list, energy, and execution. The three vocalists can nail any singer! They played three energy-filled sets that kept our 270 guests on the dance floor all night. From Stevie Wonder to the Beatles to Prince to Taylor Swift to Four Seasons to Gloria Gaynor to OutKast to Killers…all ages had an absolute blast. Hire these guys!!

Amazing wedding band

NCO did a spectacular job at our wedding - we couldn't imagine a more perfect wedding band. Their energy matched their talent and kept everyone dancing for the whole night. If you're looking for an amazing band that's fun, talented, and will be loved by everyone at your event - stop, you've found them.

This Band Ensures Memories

Our family and friends are quite the dancing crowd and had high expectations for the dance party at our wedding. North Coast Orchestra delivered 1000%. They had AMAZING vocalists that could sing arrangements from Aretha Franklin to Lizzo, ACDC to Justin Timberlake. There was something for everyone and the band truly kept the party rocking for hours on end. The quality of musicians is off the charts and their engagement with the crowd made our wedding memorable without a doubt. They were responsive and professional with planning, learned the first dance songs they didn't already know (and they know A LOT of songs!), and paid attention to every detail. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them and our friends and family still talk about them!

10/10 would hire again

Absolutely great band! The dance floor was packed all night long. Not only are they all great musicians, but entertainers too and they knew exactly what songs to play next - took stress off of us creating a playlist! Would recommend to anyone and everyone, a highlight of our wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
