Incredible band, they made our wedding the party we envisioned!

Stop looking for a band if you're reading this and hire One Night Band. Marty cares for his clients and even helped us with our itinerary as we didn't use a wedding planner (he did this at no additional cost).

The band is composed of pros who know how to entertain. The saxophone, oh my gosh, that made our night. They played all of the hits and my guests were all asking where did you find these guys. One Night Band was a referral from my cousin's wedding several years prior and I'm SO happy we got to book them for our reception. Thank you, One Night Band!

ONE NIGHT BAND was the highlight or our night!

We hired One Night Band for our summer wedding reception at The Old Post Office in Chicago, and they were absolutely fantastic! Their performance kept our guests dancing all night. The band's talent was impressive, with incredible lead vocalists and tight instrumentals. They were also great at reading the crowd and adjusting the vibe throughout the night.

From start to finish, the communication was smooth, and they were professional and punctual. They even invited guests to join in on a song, which created such a fun moment! If you want a band that will bring energy and make your wedding unforgettable, we highly recommend One Night Band!

One Night Band is the perfect wedding band!

I don't know where to begin, from start to finish, this band is incredible. One Night Band made our wedding the party that we had envisioned. Marty was easy to work with during the planning process and the band knocked it out of the park. I would highly recommend this band to anyone who is having a wedding!

Terrific band who kept everyone on the dance floor all night!!

We were so happy we chose one night band for our wedding reception. They were absolutely fantastic, and even performed an excellent live slowed down version of our first dance song for us. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night which was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a terrific, high energy wedding band.

We couldn't be happier!

We were married in November of 2022 and finally getting around to writing reviews. One Night Band knocked it out of the park. They played the perfect mix of music, MC'd the evening flawlessly, and they were a pleasure to work with. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting the band and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire One Night Band for our reception!

One Night Band was FABULOUS!

We are obsessed with One Night Band (ONB) and can't recommend them enough!!! Hiring a band was the absolute most important thing to me and my now-husband, and we are SO happy we went with ONB. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and countless people told us we had the best wedding band they'd ever seen. Marty also made the whole process leading up to the wedding seamless and stress-free. We felt so strongly about the music at the wedding that we hand-selected every song the band would play, and ONB accommodated all of our requests. On top of that, we had family members who were supposed to play music during our ceremony, and when we realized last-minute that they needed a keyboard and sound equipment, ONB stepped in to help us out. Marty's relaxed and calming vibe was much appreciated as we were frantically working through last-minute details in the two weeks leading up to the wedding. We can't thank ONB enough for making our wedding day so fantastic!!!

Absolutely Incredible

One Night Band made our wedding night as great as it could be. From the planning to the execution, this band is pro. If you're considering them for your wedding I would highly recommend them. You can't go wrong. They played all genres, emcee'd the wedding very well, and everyone at our wedding was talking about how great there are!

Best Live Band for Getting Guests to Dance!

We got married in May 2022, and One Night Band performed at our wedding. They were truly amazing and made it such a great experience!! We had an 11am wedding with a 1pm reception, and I felt that a live band would really be the best way to get people up and dancing for a brunch wedding. And they definitely did!! The band is so talented, and they are also great at reading the room. I was not someone who wanted to plan every single detail myself, but they did give me the option to completely set the playlist. Instead, I just gave a few examples of songs that I liked / the vibe we were going for, and I left the detailed set list up to the band. I was so happy with all of their song choices, and it really took some stress off of me! I think one of the highlights of the whole day was when the band let our priest come up and sing a song with them. We worked with Marty for the planning process, and he is great to work with. I would 100% recommend One Night Band for weddings or galas or anything you want a great live band for!
