Great band, so much fun

We received so many complements on how fun our wedding was because of the band. I was nervous to hire a band instead of a DJ because I had personally never been to a wedding with a band. But the risk was so worth it. Everyone we talk to that was at the wedding mentions how great our band was. People even asked me the next day for the band name. It was also a great thing for people who don't want to dance, because they can still enjoy the music. Communication was great throughout my planning process, I asked many random questions here and there and received answers very fast.

Shag is the best!

Hiring Shag was probably one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! They aren't your typical wedding band in the best possible way - if you like 70's rock and soul, Shag is for you! They even learned the song that my dad and I chose for our father/daughter dance, which was such a fun surprise for my dad! We had planned our own playlist to play for the last 30 minutes of the evening, but we just had Shag keep going because we were having so much fun, they rolled with it and kept the music going til the end of the night! They were also super helpful with making announcements/emcee-ing the evening. They are just all around great guys too!

Amazing wedding band!

Shag had everyone on the dance floor all night long! Our guests are still telling us how great the music was and asking for the name of the band. Their music appeals to all ages.
We were able to create our own playlist and they rocked it!! Great guys to work with! Definitely recommend.

Shag was very flexible with last minute changes, sounded great, and even let my band play a few songs with their setup! All around great experience.

Awesome music and awesome value!

We had Shag play our wedding in Elkhart Lake, WI and were not disappointed. The band played 2 sets with a short break in the middle. Our guests, who were Phish and Grateful Dead fans, had a blast dancing to their music and we got lots of compliments about them. They were also very flexible when we asked them to provide a PA for our ceremony nearby. Couldn't have asked for more from these guys!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
