Exceptional, fun, made the wedding unforgettable!

We couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From our initial contact with Jodi to the last note played at our reception, everything was simply fantastic.

Jodi was a delight to work with – organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. She made the entire process seamless, ensuring that every detail was considered and that our preferences were reflected in the playlist.

Now, let's talk about the band's performance – absolutely unbelievable! The Shining Star Band brought an incredible energy to our wedding that had everyone on their feet. The range of music they played catered to all tastes, and their talent was evident in every song. The dance floor was never empty, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how amazing the band was.

If you're looking to elevate your wedding to a whole new level and create lasting memories, don't hesitate – hire The Shining Star Band. They are a guarantee for the best wedding ever. Our special day wouldn't have been the same without them, and we're so grateful for the unforgettable experience they provided.

Best decision!

Jodi Light and the Shining Star Band performed at our wedding last month and did not disappoint. Jodi played for us at cocktail hour on the keys and performed with her band during the reception. They had all the guests on the dance floor and really brought the energy. It definitely made the night. We kept the night going and asked her to go overtime and she was so accomodating. From start to finish, she went above and beyond and made the process of planning and organising a wedding from overseas so much easier. She was even our MC! Thanks again :)

A Night to remember for a lifetime!

Jodi and the band were incredible! Jodi promised us a night that would be remembered for a lifetime and she was right! The guests never stopped dancing and loved the interaction with the band. They were so good that some of our other vendors on site during the evening even sent me a note after the wedding commenting how extraordinary our band was. Super accommodating, interactive and just a pleasure to work with. Thank you for such a special night!

Great night

We had an absolute blast the night of our wedding thanks to Shining Star Band. They learned new songs for us and sounded amazing. Our guests still talk about some of the songs they did and how good they sounded - everyone’s favorite was when they killed it playing Purple Rain, and it was their first time playing it!!!

Ultimate in professional entertainment

Shining Star provided the ultimate experience in every way. Not only the music which was fantastic but also helping to lay out all aspects of the event from timing to other ideas to make the experience truly special for the bride, groom, their families, the wedding party and all guests. Memories are created by special experiences and Shining Star helped create lasting memories!

A great job at my daughter's wedding

They played my daughter's wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night right to the finish. The band took the time to learn a song that they had not played before for my daughter and I to dance to (which meant so much to me, I used to sing it to her when she was little). We all had a great time. Musically, they were tight and killed it.

Very accommodating!

The music is beautiful, exactly the right volume, and they make the evening really fun! But above and beyond that, I made some pretty outrageous request for accommodation for my son’s wedding. They bent over backwards to give me everything I wanted. I wish I could give them 10 stars for flexibility.

The Absolute BEST!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jodi and the Shining Star Band. We saw them live at a hotel and we knew right away we wanted to book them for our wedding. Jodi was amazing through the entire planning process - she worked with us and our parents to make sure everyone was happy. She organized ceremony music and cocktail hour music on top of organizing absolutely all our reception music. She was incredibly flexible and willing to work with us for all our wild requests. They have an extensive song list to choose from. We starred some songs and they made an amazing compilation for the reception. Jodi was also an incredible "MC" for the night, introducing everyone and getting us smoothly through our night.
And the energy they brought to the reception.... is literally infectious. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are not sure about going with a band.. go see Shining Star play live around the city and you won't ever doubt again!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all you did!!!!

Best Band Ever

Choosing to go with Shining Star Band was easily one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. It’s been months and people are STILL talking about how amazing they were! Jodi was an absolute delight to work with, always responding very quickly and made me feel like everything would be handled perfectly (and it was). They kept everybody dancing and singing all night long which is all we really wanted. I truly could not recommend them more highly, they are exceptional!!

Best Day of Our Lives

The band traveled to Sedona to help celebrate our wedding! This was the most magical day of our lives. Jodi and the band were engaging, fun, and excellent. There wasn’t a song where the dance floor was empty. I would recommend Shining Star to anyone who is looking for a live band with a great lead singer :) The only requirements which I believe are normal are: place to stay because of traveling, outlets for outside available, stage be built, dinner for entire band. If you want a live band and not a dj book them now!
