New Year's Eve Wedding Band

We had Spectrum for our New Year’s Eve wedding in St. Louis, and they absolutely blew us away! The entire night, they brought the perfect energy and created a truly electric atmosphere. Spectrum knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. They even went above and beyond by learning our favorite song to play during dinner! Mr. Brightside at midnight was the highlight of the night! They were so professional and easy to work with during the entire planning process. If you're looking for a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, Spectrum is the one. Thank you, Spectrum, for giving us the perfect start to our marriage and for making our New Year’s Eve wedding a night to remember forever!

Spectrum Band rocks!

We saw Spectrum Band play for the first time at our friends wedding and we knew we had to have them for our wedding reception. Our first reception venue we had booked canceled on us which was devastating. One of the first people to contact me about it was Sean with the band letting us know that he was here for us and wanted to make sure we knew that! We appreciated that so much. Luckily our new venue still had our date open and we were good to go.

They rocked the house at our reception!! We got so many compliments about how great the band was. We can't thank Spectrum Band enough for making our reception so wonderful!

"I had the distinct pleasure last night of photographing the Spectrum Band during their performance at the Coronado Ballroom in St. Louis, Mo. The music was absolutely superb, the atmosphere electric, and I had a front row seat! Spectrum Band is a professional 9-piece variety dance band that specializes in wedding receptions, corporate parties and public events in the St. Louis, Mo area; and, they have been doing it for over 20 years. I have to say; when I say they are good, I mean they are good! - As in REALLY REALLY GOOD! I could not recommend them highly enough for any event, especially weddings. Tim Callihan, the band leader, drummer and one of the original members, and I had been corresponding for several weeks on the subject of weddings and receptions. During the course of those conversations, Tim mentioned that they were needing some updated images for the website, and wanted to know if I was interested in shooting them. As it turned out, we had the time available and I have a policy to never turn down the opportunity to work with the best; and that is exactly what Spectrum Band is, the best. Not to mention, watching them work under the wonderful and electric atmosphere of the Coronado Ballroom, which is one of the premier wedding reception venues in the entire Midwest. --- Event: Fundraising event for the Asthma & Allergy Foundation held at The Coronado" - March 10, 2012

We are big fans of Spectrum Band. If you want a great band with great vocals and brass, this is the band for you. They are great to work with and have many years of experience. They are not just one singer with one sound. You will love how they get your guests up to dance and celebrate your Wedding with you.
