Awesome band - Would recommend to anyone!!
We were recommended The Business and we are so glad that we chose them. Top notch performing, great MC skills, and they kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We had an outdoor venue with the stage decently far away from the bar and other tents. The energy of the band kept it packed throughout the night. I’d recommend them to anyone and so glad we chose them!!

Fantastic musicians and AWESOME set list
The Business was incredible!!!! Every single person at our wedding was on the dance floor and they play really GREAT music, not at all your typical wedding songs. So so good - our guests could not stop raving about them!

The Business is AMAZING!
As a wedding planner, it is so important for me to work with a band that is not only super talented and FUN but also very professional and responsive. The Business has it all. They are amazing and always pack the dance floor! Thank you Jim + band for being so incredible to work with. Already excited for the next time that we can work together on an awesome event...let's do it again soon!

Kept guests dancing all night!
Our guests haven’t stopped talking about what an incredible experience they had dancing the night away at our wedding! I really can’t say enough about how amazing this band is - they literally did. Not. Stop. We will cherish our memories dancing with our guests forever and are SO glad we chose the business to help us celebrate :)

3 months later and our guests are still talking about our wedding band. Before we got engaged, we had been to a wedding where The Business performed at the reception, when it came time to book our own wedding band, they were a no brainer. Our wedding reception was the absolute best party because of The Business. They are so amazing to work with and have the best stage presence. It's evident that they genuinely enjoy what they do. EVERYONE was out on the dance floor until the very last song during our reception. Booking The Business was the best decision for our reception

The Business performed at our wedding in St. Simons Island, GA. I cannot tell you how many guests continue to tell us how much they enjoyed The Business! From the first dance to the last song, Jim and the band were amazing. They sound wonderful in their online videos, but it really is nothing compared to seeing them in person. They are talented musicians who are also great at keeping the energy up for a wedding (or any event). We wanted an elegant feel that was still tons of fun and they were a perfect match. The dance floor was packed all night!!

The Business was an absolutely phenomenal band and I am so ecstatic that we chose them for our wedding reception. They are true professionals and their showmanship was impeccable. Jim and the band were great to work with pre-wedding and made everything so easy. They kept the party going all night long and had everyone on the dance floor--from my 3 year old nephew to my 82 year old grandmother. Jim and the Business knew what to play and at the right moments. Jim did a great job introducing the wedding party and announcing different moments of the night (dinner starting, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc.) One of my favorite memories of the night was my dance with my father. It was a song that was really special to us, but stylistically a little different; The Business absolutely blew me away with how beautifully they performed the song, it was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend The Business to anyone getting married or hosting a private event, they will not disappoint!

The Business was beyond great! The group is so talented vocally and instrumentally! Our wedding party/celebration at The Grove Park Country Club on Nov 3, 2017, was truly the "best" thanks to The Business! They took control and kept everyone "on their feet" throughout the evening! The variety of music was perfect! I can't say enough about this band! 5 stars plus!

If you want to throw the world's greatest party, hire The Business. They kept everyone on the dance floor from the very first to the very last song of the evening. No awkward lulls, no pauses, just amazing jams and lots of laughter and fun. The night even ended with us (my husband and I) as well as a few of our close friends, closing the evening out with SHOUT! from on stage with the band!
