Mind blowing entertainer, DJ and band, with indescribable energy!

Wow, where do I begin? How does one articulate the absolute marvel Greg and his band are? It’s a hard task when they leave you speechless just from how truly amazing they are! For starters, I met Greg while touring the venue we decided to get married at. Our coordinator said, “hey do you have a DJ or band yet? If not, we just so happen to have our favorite one here right now setting up for an event!” Being my family has always been very musically inclined, we hit it off immediately! Greg’s energy is second to none! He is extremely quick witted and funny, smart, sweet, attentive, and of course, TALENTED!!!! We left not only knowing where my wedding would be, but now who our DJ would be! I messaged him that evening claiming I want him, and he was very happy to oblige!

During the wedding process, 6 weeks before the big day, my dad fell very sick. We became so worried and scared. 7 days prior to the big day, we had to make the tough call to postpone. I quickly reached out to Greg and his response was incredibly sincere. He told me to not worry and that he will accommodate a new date if it’s available. Him being so popular, I was so nervous it wouldn’t work out.. but the stars aligned, and he was in fact free for our new date! At the point, my dad was starting to turn a corner and we were seeing positive changes. One night his band was performing near us and we decided as a family to go! My dad was still wobbly and healing but he came and the last song of the night, Greg dedicated to him! Thoughtful and genuine gestures such as this confirmed our already found love for this man. After that night, we decided we didn’t just want Greg, we wanted the whole band, and that’s exactly what we did and I am SO happy we landed on this decision!

ITS WEDDING DAY! The day we had been waiting for finally came. I spoke with Greg a few nights prior about what I wanted to have played for the ceremony and when he answered his phone, he was in the background playing, “it’s the final count down” on his piano and that cued up the excitement even more! The man is so sweet, he truly is! Anyway, he helped nail down the perfect music for my bridal party to walk down the aisle too. It had me in tears (naturally). The day went without a hitch, not a single issue arose. He kept the movement of the party consistent and controlled and the energy her eluded is second to none! He is the true heartbeat of keeping the night alive and jumping! He gets people involved, he sings fun and happening songs and man can the band jam! My favorite memory of the night was seeing my flower girls dance the entire night and when the party was coming to an end, it was just a few close family members left and we tore that dance floor up! Belting songs, acting goofy, and just having a true and wonderful time. It’s something I will NEVER forget and talking about it will always make me tear up.

To Greg, and to the Chuck Taylors.. thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. You showed me an immense amount of love & kindness & I know you are someone I will always consider a now friend. You are someone I want to stay in touch with and my family and I cannot wait to follow you & your band around for different events and performances. You have infinitely touched us in ways we can’t explain, & in ways money can’t buy. You are shaping couples dream nights in ways that’s indescribable!!!

Just stop your search now, higher Greg immediately, & be prepared for the most memorable evening of your life! ❤️

Amazing Band!

Hiring this band for our daughter’s wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They brought such great energy to the reception and kept the dance floor for the entire night. What impressed us. the most was how professional and polished they were while making the evening feel personal and centered on the bride and groom. Highly recommend.

Awesome wedding band!

We had an absolute blast at our wedding, and a big reason for that is the energy and interaction with the crowd that The Chuck Taylors’ brought! Greg and the rest of the crew did an outstanding job, and they sounded excellent. They did everything - played ceremony music, played during cocktail hour, provided emcee services, and rocked the reception. They did not stop playing for a single minute. Super easy to work with and will customize things for what you want during your event. We highly recommend them!

Exceeded all expectations!

While we've been to many, The Chuck Taylors were hands down the best wedding band we've ever seen. They absolutely read the vibe we were going for and did not disappoint - it genuinely felt like a personal concert / dance party all night! They interact with the crowd without it feeling forced or uncomfortable. We have had so many of our guests talk about how the dance floor was always packed. People are still talking about them and this night, and I've even had several people planning weddings in other areas of the country ask for their contact information. The Chuck Taylors made our reception unbelievably fun!

The BEST Wedding Band!

The Chuck Taylors are truly the BEST wedding band around. My husband and I saw them play 3 years ago at a friend's wedding and knew they would be the band we would book for our own wedding. Greg is an amazing entertainer/emcee and just a genuine person. He remembers everyone's names and favorite songs, and does a great job engaging the crowd. He even passes out mini trophies! The Chuck Taylors also don't take a single break all night - they keep the party going! They are incredible and made our wedding such a blast. All of our guests raved about them! I can't wait to watch them play at another event soon!

Can't say enough about how G R E A T The Chuck Taylors are!!! They played non-stop at my daughter's wedding and had everyone on their feet dancing all night long.

What an incredible memory!! Family and friends are still talking about how amazing that night was!! No one wanted the night to end. Greg is undoubtedly the BEST emcee ever!!! Thank you so much, Chuck Taylors, for making that night so absolutely perfect!!!

book them!!

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. The chuck taylors truly made my wedding. They were AMAZING! They had all 300 people at my wedding up and dancing the entire reception. I had so many people tell me they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. They do not play regular cheesy wedding music, it honestly felt like I was at a concert. They got all the guests involved and did not take one break. If you can book them- do it!!

A must book vendor - incredible

It is hard to articulate just how incredible this band is at performing at weddings. They don't just play music, they create an environment and space that fosters beautiful memories. Greg and his team are engaging and get to know their audience and play the best music. I truly get emotional thinking about how our reception was perfect because of the crucial part they played. This band is a MUST BOOK for your event. They played for our cocktail hour and entire reception with no breaks. Greg also acted as our MC and adapted quickly and seamlessly to any last minute changes. He also helped us plan a surprise dance for the audience and we gave him a list of guests that would love to be called out as well as let our friend sing a song with the band. Everything about them is perfect!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
