Amazing band

Eric was very professional and insightful in setting up the event. The band was amazing, fantastic musicians that kept the energy up all night. We had so many complements from guests about the band. They really made it a special and memorable event. Eric’s wife played the piano for the ceremony which was beautiful. If you want to add style and class to your wedding, this is it!

A rock solid band

Not only did The Big Badd put on a great performance for our wedding, they coordinated it all in a month between contacting them for the first time and the wedding date (the short notice was totally on us). They had a great set list and let us filter and choose what we wanted. They even learned a song not on their list so that one of us could sing it with them. Ian (the band's lead) was responsive and helpful throughout the process and gave us an accurate assessment of what to expect day-of. We were impressed with the quality, professionalism, and interaction from the band. Would hire them again.
