Sharp Dressed and Detail Oriented!

SDB showed up on time, followed our instructions to the letter and absolutely brought down the house at our reception. Not only were they cheaper than most other bands, but they provided sound for our ceremony, acted as emcee for our dinner and were absolutely phenomenal. I had at least 6 guests tell me that SDB was the best wedding band they had ever heard. Seriously. They are that good. Every member of their band is insanely talented (penny whistle much?) and Shannon and Stefan are amazing vocalists.

Book SDB. You will not be disappointed.

The Sharp Dressed Band were a dream!!

We had a brunch wedding in Wenatchee this Summer and the Sharp Dressed Band was amazing!! Very much a highlight of our reception, they sounded great and were so flexible with us about being able to choose songs/styles we wanted. Amazing band and everything we hoped for. And just great people! We communicated with Stefan and Shannon throughout and met up beforehand to discuss questions and music before the wedding day. We read a ton of reviews before choosing them for our wedding and wanted to pay it forward by leaving a review for them here so others can find them! :) Would book them again in a heartbeat.

Sharp Dressed Band was wonderful and helped make my wedding a night to remember. They were exactly what I wanted and kept everyone dancing the whole time they were playing. 10/10 would hire again!

Fantastic band for any event! We hired Sharp Dressed Band to play at our summer ’17 wedding on the recommendation of a friend. Before we even met, my fiancée and I had fallen in love with the band’s look and sound, not to mention their professionalism and responsiveness. The band performed a processional and recessional during our ceremony (which they arranged, beautifully), as well as during the cocktail hour and reception. Their playlist included many of our favorites, and they even learned a few songs for the ceremony and first dances. Our friends and family danced the night away, and months later we are still hearing about how much everyone loved the band. Coordinating with the bandleader, Stefan, was really easy, even when we were unsure of the details ourselves. He was quick to respond, resourceful, flexible, and understanding. He even stepped in to hammer out some last minute AV logistics with our venue. I cannot recommend SDB highly enough!

We had an incredible experience using Sharp Dressed Band for our wedding- our guests are still talking about how great they were! They played songs that all of our guests loved and got everybody at the wedding dancing, which was exactly what we had hoped for. They also did a great job learning our song requests for the first few dances as a couple and with our parents.

Sharp Dressed Band was the talk of my wedding! Honestly, we couldn't be happier. They have a great set-list and are willing to learn a song or two (within reason). Not only were they a hit at the reception with people old and young alike, but they were able to make a tricky wedding venue situation work perfectly. Leading up to the wedding they were courteous, and when we needed to talk they made sure that they had all their questions ready to go, and only asked what was necessary (if you're planning a wedding you know this is amazing!) People are still talking about what a great time they had- and if most of my friends weren't already married I think SDB would be looking at a ton of bookings from this wedding. Even my friends who never dance were on the dance floor! We're trying to figure out what event we can use them for next! BOOK THIS BAND. You won't regret it...

We had Sharp Dressed Band play at our wedding and it was INCREDIBLE! Not only were they easy and fun to work with, the talent and enthusiasm was absolutely infectious - they had everyone up on the dance floor the entire time! Our wedding was almost a year ago and we still have guests talking about them playing the best dance party they've ever been to. They're so talented and can learn pretty much any song and can play the spectrum of soft and slow to rocking it like crazy. The vocals are beautiful - they played our first dance and they learned the father/daughter and mother/son dance songs on short notice and nailed it all. They added so much to the night and were one of the best decisions we made out of all the hundreds you make when planning a wedding! Thanks Sharp Dressed Band!

Booking Sharp Dressed Band for our wedding was by far the best decision we made. They were pro-active, responsive and went above and beyond every step of the way. We got married on a private estate on Vashon Island and the thought of a DJ really didn't fit with the scenery or my vision. They arrived promptly and I honestly didn't worry once about AV or Music once throughout the day or leading up to the day. The music had everyone on the dance floor the entire night - I am still getting compliments on the music one year later and trying to plan a one year anniversary party just to dance to their music again! :)

Thank you Sharp Dressed Band!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
