Wedding at Dexters Inn, Sunapee NH

This band is so good that we planned our venue around The Conniption Fits availability! From the very first note to the last, they brought an energy and vibe that made the celebration unforgettable. There wasn’t a single person who wasn’t on the dance floor thanks to their amazing performance, they certainly bring the party!
They exceeded all our expectations and created memories that will last a lifetime. Can’t tell you how many times we have been told that it was the “best wedding I’ve ever gone to, the band was amazing!”

Wedding at Lake Bomoseen

The Conniption Fits were everything we could've imagined and more for our wedding. They were very flexible regarding our wedding day as our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were in three different locations. The lead singer Stevens, formally a radio disc jockey, DJ'd our ceremony and cocktail hour and was very accommodating to what songs and sometimes a specific part of the songs we wanted played during these periods. For the reception, Stevens had DJ music playing before and during dinner. He also helped to perfectly execute our mother/son and father/daughter dances, as well as our first dance. Without skipping a beat, the band seamlessly kicked off their live sets and immediately had the dance floor packed. Their music ranged from 80s hits to 2000s pop and everything in between. We've heard nothing but positive reviews from all our guests and would book them again in a heartbeat!

Everything from the ceremony music to the live music was flawless. People are going to be talking about our wedding for a long time thanks to them. We have already had so many compliments on the music. Perfect for all age groups as they play such a wide variety of genres. Don’t look anywhere else! Hire the Conniption Fits, you won’t regret it. We can’t thank them enough for making our day so special!🤩

Best band ever

The Conniption Fits MADE our wedding day! I did not leave the front of the dancefloor once! The wedding band was one of the most important elements for me and I really wanted a band that vibed together and weren't just a bland rotating wedding band, and these guys were exactly what I was looking for. Furthermore, they were so easy and awesome to work with. If you want the best rock/wedding band that will bring all the energy/vibes and get literally everyone on the dance floor, this is it!!!

Absolutely amazing!!

These guys played at our wedding and wow! I can’t express enough how amazing they were! To start they were very quick to answer any and every question I had, they were able to find the music I wanted no problem! When I couldn’t decide a song I completely trusted them to choose for us and it sounded amazing! All our guests were dancing the entire time! Almost all of my guests and even photographer couldn’t get over how amazing they were! Everyone was asking where I found this band, all our guests were raving about them! 10/10, I would definitely recommend them for any wedding! You will not regret it!

Out of this park rock band

Absolutely amazing band! I would recommend them for any event. They were fabulous at our wedding (with two brides) and were very easy going on our small party of only 30 people. Would highly recommend them for your wedding, block party, or anything else.

Awesome experience!

Stevens was quick to respond over email and made the process super easy and simple. They had an easy document to fill in for all the scheduled times for music and mic needs. They were great with setting up at three locations, for the ceremony in the lake, for the cocktail hour location and in the reception hall. The guests, younger and older, loved the band the entire time. The guests kept raving about the musical experience and abilities of all of the band members the whole time. They were awesome!!! Highly recommended!

The easiest wedding decision we made

My wife owns a flower shop. After we finished setting up a wedding, we decided to go to a local bar to get some food. We sat at the bar and, as usual, wrote a lot of our great notes on bar napkins. One of our bigger decisions at the time was whether we go for a DJ or a band.

And this is when we first heard The Conniption Fits. They had an incredible energy to them and they played a wide variety of songs that captured the ears of all the different people in the room. They were making a great argument as to why a band was a better decision.

My wife looked at me and said, "if they play Eve 6- Inside Out next, we need to hire them." The next song, they literally played the introduction to that song and we both looked at each other with amazement. This was fate, this had to be our band.

We took our friends and family to see them play one more time in Portsmouth, NH. It was fun watching them in a completely different venue with different people listening, but they still had the same chemistry with the crowd that we were looking for.

I e-mailed them and got a quick response. Their prices were extremely reasonable and cheaper than the services of a DJ. Their ability to play to our wedding crowd far surpassed what any DJ would have been able to do.

They were energetic, accommodating, and motivated almost all of our wedding guests to stay on the dance floor and dance the night away. It was fun to hang out with them once the wedding ended. They are all around great people.

We would hire The Conniption Fits a million times over, and you should too. These guys have a passion for the music they play and the will make sure that you and your wedding guests are having a wedding to remember. Three years later and people are still talking about our wedding, but primarily, how amazing our band was. Thank you Stevens, Jaime, and Jeff.

Check out their music on Spotify too!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
