Venice wedding

If I could time travel back to any moment in my life, it’d be the dance floor at our wedding when the band kicked in. Absolute magic. And all credit goes to Cornell and his band.

They crushed every song, and when they busted out “Baby Got Back” the whole place lost it. People are still talking about it.

Working with Cornell before the big day was the easiest part of planning....while every other vendor felt like a stressful negotiation, he was a total breath of fresh air. And on top of that, he surprised us by adding a saxophone player as a gift. Unreal.

Hands down, best decision we made. If you want a packed dance floor and a night people won’t forget, this is the band

Great wedding band!

Cornell and Octave Entertainment were very easy to work with and made our wedding reception a blast with great music! They even helped us do a Bollywood dance lesson during one of their breaks.

Cornell is not only solid musical genius but he is a miracle worker

This review is looooong overdue, we hired Cornell and his band for our wedding in June of 2022 to perform at our wedding which was held in a fairly remote area of California. We were very concerned about music since we have such a wide mix of taste and while my family mostly only cares for hispanic music my now husband family doesn't even speak Spanish. Our location we thought would be complicated but Cornell was able to pull it off no problem. He even managed to deliver with even last minute issues when His band members got COVID very last minute and couldnt come out to perform, he was able to last minute round up some very talented musicians and they did not feel like plan b at all. My guests still rave about the wonderful music we had. We had 2 parts to our events with very different vibes, the first was a campground casual gathering right after our ceremony which cornell did a mix of live music( on his own!!!) And playing from a playlist. It was right on the nose of the vibe ww we're going for. The second part was held at a historic dive bar and was sort of an after party. Well they blew it out of the park! It was absolutely magical.

Cornell is incredibly professional and easy to work with.

Cornell was simply the best! He sang every song to perfection giving us memories that will last a lifetime. I wish the wedding reception would lasted longer as everyone was having so much fun. His song selection is extensive and provided for such a fun and intimate atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!

Exceeded expectations!

I had one priority for our event: a great band. Decor, food, etc only came second. This group had all my guests utterly impressed with their talent, sound, song choice, charisma, professionalism, appearance, and ability to really get a party going. Nearly all the songs they played were on our request list - the ones they added were gems! They really read the crowd well. What an extreme pleasure to work with from beginning to end. It's been 2 weeks and everyone is still talking about the band! Thank you guys, so much, for making our night incredibly fun & memorable! I will 100% be hiring them again and recommending to everyone I know.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
