Nonstop Energy and Incredible Vibes!

We couldn’t have been happier with Sorry for Partying! From start to finish, they were incredibly organized and made the whole process so smooth. Their pre-wedding questionnaire covered every detail from the ceremony to the reception, which gave us total confidence that everything would go off without a hitch.

On the day of the wedding, they absolutely crushed it — three straight hours of nonstop music and energy! The set list had a perfect mix of songs and genres that kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Their announcements were clear and perfectly timed, following our schedule to a T.

One of our favorite moments was the surprise couple dance circle — it was such a fun and memorable touch, and all our guests are still talking about it! Since the wedding, we’ve had so many friends and family tell us how much they loved the band.

If you want a professional, high-energy band that knows how to throw a great party, Sorry for Partying is the one.

Highly Recommend!

We are so glad we chose Sorry For Partying for our wedding! We actually first saw them perform at another wedding and were so impressed that we knew we wanted them at ours. They absolutely lived up to our expectations and were one of the highlights of our wedding day.

They provided a vocalist and keyboardist for our ceremony, recorded music for cocktail hour and dinner, performed our special dance songs, and then kept the energy going all night at our reception. They were also able to accommodate a special song request for us, which made the reception feel even more personal.

Joe was incredibly communicative and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day, Sorry For Partying brought so much energy and put on an amazing performance. We received a ton of compliments from our guests about how great the band was and how much fun they were to watch and dance to.

We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding and would highly recommend Sorry For Partying to any couple looking for an incredible live wedding band!

The perfect wedding band

Sorry for Partying was absolutely incredible, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding band. The music was fantastic, they kept the energy high from start to finish, and our dance floor was packed for the entire three hours they played. They were also amazing to work with throughout the planning process—always communicative, supportive, willing to accommodate even some of our more creative requests, and they even attended a walkthrough at our reception venue with our planner to make sure everything went smoothly. They truly created a fun, upbeat atmosphere that made our reception unforgettable, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking to throw an amazing party for their friends and family.

3-Hours Straight Music

An incredible wedding band! They played 3 hours non stop and the dance floor was rocking the whole night. Very professional communication, a lengthy song list to choose from, and very flexible and accommodating to requests, interruptions, or fire alarms going off during the event. Reasonable price for a 6 piece band and we feel we got more than our money's worth. Highly highly recommend them. Many guests have relayed to me how much they enjoyed the band especially. A big hit for everyone at the wedding.

This is your band!

Working with Sorry For Partying was a dream. Picking out a wedding band was an intimidating task. We decided to trust their reviews and are so happy we did. They performed two self-selected special dance songs absolutely perfectly & beautifully. They also kept the dance floor completely full the entire three hours (with no breaks) they performed! We've heard from numerous guests that this was the best, most fun wedding they've ever attended and Sorry For Partying is a BIG reason why that is the case. This team is just awesome to work with, they really customized their song list to match our taste / the vibe we were going for. I cannot recommend them enough. This is your band...pick them!

Best Dance Floor EVER!!!!

INCREDIBLE! We had the best night with Sorry for Partying leading us through it all. From MCing the intros / speeches to crushing it on stage for THREE STRAIGHT HOURS!!! They were also super easy to work with leading up to our big day, making every step seamless and painless. I am biased but I think Sorry for Partying helped us have the best dance floor for any wedding in 2024 and possibly ever. They kept the night lively and the dance floor full all night long. They hit all the key wedding songs and took our input into what we would love to hear and nailed the playlist. We wish we could get married every weekend and if we did, we'd have Sorry for Partying there every single time!!!!

These guys made our night!

PLEASE HIRE THIS BAND! We cannot recommend Sorry For Partying enough. They were easy to work with from the very beginning and were more than worth the cost. They played nonstop for three hours and our guests stayed on the dance floor nonstop as well. We've attended another wedding since ours with many of the same guests and we heard "we miss your band!" a handful of times that night! Tim did an awesome job emceeing; there was no hint of cringe at all that you get with a lot of DJs. We had a great experience and I'm already trying to convince my new hubby to hire them for our one year anniversary party :)

The most complimented part of our wedding

We hired Sorry For Partying to play at our reception. They played recorded music through our cocktail hour and dinner. Tim was a great MC and kept everything moving smoothly, but best of all after dinner they had everyone on the dance floor. We didn’t leave the rest of the night. Many of our guests wondered how we came up with such a great set list. We didn’t! The band did everything. They would just roll into the next song and there weren’t any breaks. Our venue layout was a little tricky and the band was fantastic about making sure they understood what was needed. John was so great during planning. He was really honest about what would work well or not. I would strongly recommend Sorry For Partying to anyone looking to stay on the dance floor all night and have the best party ever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
