    The Exceptions are IT. Our guests had the time of their lives at our wedding thanks to this lively, talented, passionate band. The Exceptions are a 10-piece band that will play anything from 60s classics to modern pop... and country! They are, truly, a remarkable group and I highly recommend this band to anyone looking for classy, talented, entertainment.

    If you want your guests to walk away from your wedding saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to then you need to book The Exceptions immediately! There is nothing like a live band at the wedding and let's face it what makes a good wedding: the venue & the entertainment. The moment I saw/heard The Exceptions at Harrah's in Atlantic City, I knew I had to have them at our wedding. They literally get everyone on the dance floor from 80 years old to teenagers and every age in between. I knew that they would make our wedding everything we had hoped for. I wanted the dance floor to be full the entire time and it truly was. Everyone told my husband & I that the band MADE the wedding & asked where in the world did I find the band. I tell everyone that it was meant to be that I found them because the minute I saw them, I knew they would play our wedding. Phil, who is the manager as well as a talented musician/singer in the band, was so great to deal with. We e-mailed back & forth & he always got back to me right away. I gave the band a list of songs that we loved & a list of songs that we didn't want played (which was very few since the band's playlist is incredible). They stuck to that list all night & even threw in songs that they knew were special to us (like Bruce Springsteen). The night couldn't of been more perfect & everyone said it was the best wedding they have ever been to because of the band. If you want everyone up on their feet begging for more, hire The Exceptions for your wedding!

    I've been to a bunch of weddings and I've never seen or heard a better crew. Our guests almost didn't even finish their dinner or wedding cake because they were out on the dance floor the whole time. Our guests are still talking about the band. That's the kind of group you want to play at your wedding!
