They’re featured on the most recent season of Netflix’s hit TV show “Love.”

Fantastic Wedding Band—10/10!

As a musician, booking the right band was one of my top priorities for our wedding, and we could not have had a better experience with Gabe and The Class. They were professional, accommodating, and communicative throughout the entire process—and they put on one hell of a show!

The band brought incredible energy without ever feeling cheesy or over-the-top. Their eclectic setlist was tailored to our taste, the musicianship was outstanding, and our guests absolutely loved them. The dance floor was packed all night.

They also went above and beyond in so many ways. They brought an 7-piece band and a sound engineer, learned two new songs for us: a gorgeous, stripped-down arrangement of “If I Ain’t Got You” for our ceremony and a groovy cover of “Let Me Love You,” which I got to sing with them onstage. They also played an extra 30 minutes during dinner and performed for nearly *three hours* during the reception.

We are still hearing from guests about how great the band was. I could not recommend Gabe and The Class more highly!

Book The Class Band!!!!!

We cannot recommend The Class Band enough! They absolutely exceeded every expectation and were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

From the very beginning, Gabe, the band leader, was incredibly responsive, organized, and accommodating. Throughout the entire planning process, he answered every question quickly, worked with all of our requests, and made us feel completely at ease. No matter what idea we had, he was willing to help make it happen.

On the wedding day, Gabe and the band were punctual, professional, and kept everything running seamlessly. Their energy was incredible, and they had our dance floor packed all night long!

What truly set them apart, though, was how much they went above and beyond to make our day personal and unforgettable. They took the time to practice a special song with my grandpa so he could perform with them during the reception—a memory our family will cherish forever. Then, to make the night even more special, Gabe invited my dad to join the band on saxophone, creating another once-in-a-lifetime moment that had everyone cheering.

Those personal touches meant the world to us and perfectly captured how much this band genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for their couples. They weren't just there to perform—they became part of the celebration and helped create memories that we'll treasure for a lifetime.

If you're looking for a band that is incredibly talented, professional, accommodating, and truly invested in making your wedding everything you've dreamed of, The Class Band is the one. We would book them again in a heartbeat!

Best Wedding Band Ever!

The Class absolutely crushed it playing at our wedding. They were very easy to work with and even learned a song for our wedding day. They did a beautiful job with our first dance and father daughter dance songs, then they got the dance floor rocking with great party music! Look no further, this is the best band for your wedding!

Great Band for Convention

We loved working with The Class! They were very flexible and accomodating (we had to move inside last minute due to wind) and they played an incredible variety of music. Would definitely book them again!

Amazing band!

I had originally wanted a DJ but my now wife really wanted a band, and after seeing some samples of their performances - they sounded amazing and after speaking to Gabe, their professionalism sold me on them and we couldn't have been more pleased.
They were easy to work with and they were solid through the ceremony, cocktail hour, and they kept the energy up the entire night...up to the last "na na na na". We received a lot of compliments on the great music and the awesome energy. We would highly recommend them and although I'm not getting married again, I'd want them at any future wedding I attend. Don't think twice and book them!

Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Meyer wedding

The Class band was an absolute delight and pleasure to deal with. My job, as the groom, was to find the band. With the help of Gabe and The Class I was successful in knocking my job out of the park. From planning the setlist to making sure the vibe was exactly what we wanted, Gabe was very helpful and attentive to our every wish. The band absolutely killed it and we have received many compliments about how much they rocked. For the price point, the Class is the best you're going to get.

Amazing Team and Experience

Gabe and his members at Class Band were a great addition to our September 2025 wedding. I would 1000% recommend having Class Band be apart of your wedding vendor team. Responsive, talented, flexible, and overall great musicians!

Napa wedding

Gabe and the full team were incredible. I would recommend them highly to anyone considering a California wedding. The music was amazing and they handled all of the MC duties really well. This is a 5-star group and anyone would be lucky to have them at their event.

Pure Magic on Our Wedding Night – Thank You, The Class!

Hiring The Class was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Gabe was an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, kind, responsive, and just so cool. Every interaction with him and the band made us more excited for the big day, and they still managed to exceed every single expectation we had.
The talent in this group is unreal, every member brought such energy and skill to the performance, and our guests will always be raving about how incredible the band was. The range of songs they played was amazing, and they kept the dance floor full all night long. They even let a few of our family members jump in and sing with them, which was such a fun, special touch. Truly above and beyond!
I also have to mention how much we appreciated the attention to detail — they showed up in sleek black suits, which added such a classy, elevated look to the evening. And the lighting! I had asked about it beforehand, but they went the extra mile and brought a lighting tech who totally transformed the space. It made such a difference, and we were so touched by the extra effort.
The Class helped make our wedding feel like a dream. We only wish we could go back and spend more time on the dance floor! From the bottom of my heart: you will NOT regret hiring this band. They’re everything you could want and more.

Great band, amazing collaborators

Gabe and The Class were such a joy to work with. They're a tight band with an amazing and extensive song list to choose from and top of the line equipment. They're super nice and genuinely wanted to do whatever they could to make us as happy as possible. They even learned a song I had written for my bride and then backed me up as I surprised her by playing it for her during the wedding. They really went above and beyond.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
