Best decision we made for our wedding day

Hiring The Free Downloads was hands down one of the best decisions (if not THE best decision) we made for our wedding day. They were absolutely incredible to work with and are outstanding performers. From the start, communicating with The Free Downloads was easy and simple; they were kind, friendly, flexible, and professional throughout the entire process--and even seamlessly accommodated a last minute change just days before our wedding. And their performance was just absolutely fabulous. Every single song was an 11/10. While at the wedding and after, so many of our guests constantly kept telling us how amazing the band was...and I know I'll be talking about them for the rest of my life. Plus, their energy: not only can you see it when they perform, but The Free Downloads did an amazing job MC-ing for us. I truly could not recommend them more. If you love live music and you want the best of the best, hire The Free Downloads.

Hire This Band NOW!!!

TL;DR: hiring The Free Downloads is the best decision you could make for your wedding. Guaranteed!

As a former college musician, live music was at the top of the list of “must have’s” for the wedding. And simply put, I could not recommend The Free Downloads Band ANY higher. These guys were absolutely, 100%, no questions asked PHENOMENAL.

They were easy to work with in the planning process and were even better the night of! They had the whole crowd dancing for the entire night (people even got up to dance between apps and the main course). Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great the band was and it was truly heartbreaking when they had to finish the set at the end of the evening.

The entire band is obviously excellent, but we have to give a special shout-out to Sheree who, despite having a conflict with our wedding date, changed around her whole schedule so she could be with us to celebrate. Not to mention her killer pipes :) And another special shout-out to Ty, the bass player, who helped shuttle some guests back to the hotel after our wedding when they missed the bus.

All in all, I couldn’t be happier about The Free Downloads, and I know we’ll be booking them again next time we need to throw a killer party!

To the band: Thank you guys so much — you’re the absolute best and we love you! - Mike & Abiah

Our Favorite Wedding Vendor!

The Free Downloads played our wedding on 4/8/2022 at Glen Manor in Portsmouth RI and 2 weeks later- our families, friends, my husband and I, are STILL talking about how incredible the music, dancing and energy was! The band has a wonderful way of mixing personality in with performance without being cheesy. Planning on our part was minimal but results were incredible and tailored to our taste. It felt like a concert designed solely for our crowd. We can't recommend The Free Downloads enough- we are fans for life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
