About

So you're looking for a fun and professional wedding band? You've come to the right place!

My name is Sam Mooney and I'm the frontman and owner of this band. When my wife and I got engaged a few years ago, I couldn't believe the amount of decisions we had to make and things we had to do before the wedding. Couples aren't exaggerating when they say that planning a wedding can feel like a second job! During our engagement, I remember what a wonderful feeling of relief it was every time someone stepped in, helped, and took a task or worry off my hands. That feeling of peace is one of the two main gifts I hope to give the couples we work with.

You've got a million things to think about on your wedding day. The last thing you should be worried about is whether or not you can count on the band you booked! Will they show up on time? Will they remember your requests? Will they make the right announcements at the right times? Will they interact kindly with your guests? With my band, all of those worries will be gone. We pride ourselves on kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. Check out our reviews section on this page and you'll see stories of how we've delivered those on those promises over and over again for the wonderful couples we've worked with.

The other, equally important, gift we hope to give you is an amazing reception, of course! Weddings are a unique gathering: What other time in your life will you have a party with both your grandparents and your high school friends? It takes a special and versatile band to truly engage all of your wedding guests, and we are that band! We play a mix of classics from decades past and recent hits that keeps everyone singing along. We cater our setlist to the energy level that YOU want, making every reception we are a part of unique. If you want a laid-back reception where the music takes on an elegant background role, we can make it happen. If you want to dance the night away with your friends to a high-energy band, we'll make that happen, too!

I'd love to hear more about what you're dreaming of for your wedding day. Send me a message today and we'll talk about how we can bring your vision to life!

If you’re reading this, hire Sam Mooney!

Sam was absolutely incredible at our wedding! He brought elegance to our ceremony, and fantastic energy and fun to our reception! Our guests were singing his praises, and he had us dancing from the first song to the last! If you want a fun, energetic, and professional band that will have you and your guests on the dance floor all night, Sam is your man!

Best wedding band!

Best wedding band! We got married 6 months ago, and we still have friends tell us how great our wedding band was!! Sam Mooney and his band adapted to the crowd and kept energy up the whole night. They are very talented and so easy to work with - we would definitely recommend!

Sam was the best! So easy to work with, and so good. I couldn't recommend more!

5 stars! The music was so good, and Sam made it so easy to work with him. Easily one of the best parts of my wedding day.

Wedding Review

Sam and his band were a tremendous blessing to our wedding day. They were fun, easy to work with, and professional in every way. If we were to do it all over 10 times, we would choose Sam and his band every one of them.

Best Band Ever

A quote from one of our guests. "The reception was like something out of a movie. I've never seen so many people dancing and for that long!" I love music and from that standpoint, the Sam Mooney band is unbelievably talented. If you want to have a good time you MUST get them for your wedding!

Super engaging!

Sam Mooney and the band played at our wedding, and they were SUCH a joy to work with! Sam is genuinely one of the nicest people ever, and he truly wanted to make our special day the best he possibly could. Our guests danced all night and loved the set list!

Sam was amazing!

Sam and his band were phenomenal! Weddings can be hectic, but having a band that was so prepared, experienced, and talented made having a live band stress-free and fun!

They were genuinely the best to work with, and our guests loved the energy that came with having a live band instead of just a DJ. It made our wedding day that much more special.

If you’re on the fence about a live band, book one! You won’t regret it. I highly recommend Sam!!

Hire This Band

I had seen Sam Mooney Band play gigs prior to my wedding and was always blown away! Great music, energy, and always a blast. When I was looking for a band to play my wedding reception, Sam's band was at the top of my list. They can play any and every genre and bring so much more than your standard wedding band. Bonus points for Sam for playing the first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son songs live (as opposed to using an aux cord like many weddings do). He even learned a song that I requested for my mom and I to dance to that wasn't in his usual list to choose from. Sam's professionalism and friendliness are a must have for your wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
