The Bishops provided for an amazing show at our wedding.

The Bishops performed at our wedding, the service and show was amazing and highly recommend to anyone for any occasion. From the Master of Ceremony service to setting up of the mic and speaker for the ceremony and to the celebration. They kept the party going all evening with a 3 hour long, no break set list that kept everyone out on the dance floor. Our guests to tell us how great The Bishops even 4 months following the wedding.

Reception for the Ages!

The Bishops provided the heart of a rocking reception for the ages! A super hot day in Indy turned into a super hot night thanks to their awesome music and atmosphere! Everyone was dancing from the first song to the last, 3 hours later. From their on-line song list to their flexibility, The Bishops provided everything we asked for. They worked with a new-to-them venue, with us on timing constraints and honored all our requests. They provided their own sound system and lights and kept the party rocking! Any glitches were unknown to us, handled in their professional manner, just what you want on such a day! We can’t say enough, if you’re considering this band, you will be happy with the results! Thank you Brian and The Bishops!

The BEST Band for Your Wedding

The Bishops MADE our wedding. They are all so talented and were amazing to work with. Bryan was amazing and helpful throughout the whole process! I've never seen a wedding dance floor so crowded and people are still telling us about how much fun they had during the reception dancing. I love looking back on all of our reception dancing videos. I hope one day I get to be a guest at a wedding that they are at!

Best band ever!!

We already knew that The Bishops were the THE BEST BAND EVER, but they blew our minds and our guests have been raving about them for days!! Besides all of the incredible talent of each and every band member, they can sing ANY song across every genre and it is played and sung perfectly. We have never heard a band with such crossover capability! And on top of that, they are so friendly, easy to work with, they learned a couple of songs we wanted played including for our 1st dance, they know how to keep the party going, and they even surprised the bride by inviting the groom up on stage to sing!! We, and all of our guests, danced the entire night and were told many times over The Bishops are the best band they have ever heard. We are forever grateful for the memories. Thank you Bryan and The Bishops!! You literally rock!!

Hire The Bishops, your guests will thank you!

The Bishops were the heart and soul of our wedding! Their incredible music and captivating performance had everyone on their feet, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of joy and celebration. Bryan, the band leader, was an absolute superstar. Not only did he lead the band with professionalism, but he also took on the roles of MC, ensuring the smooth flow of events, and handled the sound for the ceremony and cocktail hour flawlessly. His easy communication style and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the day was a success. We were impressed by and so appreciated their willingness to learn and perform a song for us. Despite not having the chance to see them live beforehand, we were confident in our decision and thrilled with the outcome – their music sounded great and added an extra layer of magic to our special day. The Bishops went above and beyond, exceeding all expectations and making our wedding a night to remember!

Life of the party!

Before any other decision we made about our wedding, we knew we wanted a live band, and The Bishops were exactly what we hoped for. They kept the party going after dinner and got just about every guest out on the dance floor. Bryan was a delight to work with on both the business and creative sides. He happily took requests for the setlist no matter how vague or specific and there's nothing we would've wanted different.

On top of being a pleasure to work with, these are some talented musicians! The multiple vocalists made for a truly dynamic night of music, and we were so glad we added the trumpet and sax too.

Your search for a band is over. Hire The Bishops!

Bishops were awesome - high recommends

The Bishops were hands down the first and best decision I made when planning our wedding. You won’t be disappointed! Bryan is super easy to work with and very transparent about what he can do. Everyone had a super great time and after the wedding was over …there was not a guest that didn’t comment on how great the band was the next day. Bryan will make a rock star out of everyone involved! Hiring the Bishops transformed a basic event into the event of the year and an event people will recall for decades to come!

Best wedding band ever

The Bishops were amazing from start to finish. We found them at a summer festival and knew we had to have them for our wedding. They were interactive with the crowd, easy to work with, and above all - AMAZING MUSICIANS! We have had guests ask us for weeks who our band was and if they can have their contact info. I would hire The Bishops again and again and again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
