BEST wedding band!!!!

Josh and Phase 5 were truly amazing! Highly recommend them for any event, but especially a wedding! We couldn’t imagine a more perfect wedding band! Josh was extremely responsive and so nice to work with, he made the process so simple. He made sure all of our favorites got played at our wedding and even had my husband up on stage to sing a new rendition of his favorite song! We also had a guitarist play for cocktail hour and added the sax for the night and both were phenomenal additions! We couldn’t be more grateful to all of Phase 5 for making our wedding night so perfect! They kept everyone out on the dance floor all night long! We had a blast! Absolutely booked them for any event! Thank you Phase 5!!!!

You don't need to look any further!

My wife and I were having an out-of-town wedding in Tampa and really had no prior knowledge of any of the local wedding bands. When we went online, we began searching for the best-sounding bands at the best prices. We really couldn't look any further than Phase5. Their catalog of music experience playing so many local venues really sets them apart from the others. They were extremely good at communicating leading up to the wedding and worked with our musical interests.

Definitely a perfect choice for us!

As the mother of the bride, I have to say, they were absolutely wonderful! The band was great and the lead female singer absolutely amazing! So many of my guests wanted to know who they were! From the very beginning, Josh was a pleasure to do business with. As in all weddings, there are so many details for the band to keep track of and they did it beautifully. Thank you again!

I don't need to tell you that Phase5 is the most engaging and talented event band in Florida, everyone knows that. What you should know is that Josh and his team are some of the best people you will ever work with. I'm always excited to find out we get to work with Phase5 - they bring so much energy to every wedding, while NEVER being cheesy!

I had the pleasure of working with Josh and his band this weekend. Not only was he kind, accommodating and a clear communicator but he and his crew threw a GREAT PARTY too!! They read the crowd well and played great music all evening. I would not hesitate to book phase5 for a wedding, party or event.

You know our biggest problem with inspire DJ/phase5/Busted Blues?? When we deliver our wedding cakes we never get to hear them play!!!!!! Seriously, an incredibly talented and humble band. Always a pleasure to work with and talk to, and even more of a pleasure to hear play when we get the chance! ;] I very highly recommend booking them right away!
