Indescribably Fantastic

We hired the Instant Classics for our wedding on 3/7/2026. Both my wife and I had seen them before at Copperblues, and became instant fans. There was no other band we would have wanted to play at our wedding, and boy did they deliver.

Working with Brandon as the band representative during our wedding planning was seamless; he provided constant and continuous communication throughout the design process and top attentiveness during the execution. He was a pleasure to work with with quick replies and an ability to quickly get things organized and arranged.

The Instant Classics were absolutely utterly phenomenal at the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests about how good they were. Everything from the set list, to their energy, liveliness and high quality performance was highlighted by our guests. Simply put, the band made us look so good. Ultimately looking good doesn’t matter for us too much, but what mattered was how much fun we had dancing and enjoying their performance. I don’t think my wife and I ate or drank much because we just wanted to dance to every song they played! What an exceptional and magnificent group of incredibly talented musicians they are. Instant classics was our favorite valley band before the wedding, and they are firmly our favorite band now. We could hear the band soundcheck during our post-ceremony photoshoot and we both looked at each other with excitement at getting to party with Instant Classics rocking out.

Last but not least, I would be remiss if I did not mention how welcoming and supportive everyone in the band was of the surprise I had planned for my wife. I asked if it would be possible they could invite me on stage to play the lead guitar on Stone Sour’s “Song #3” and they duly obliged without hesitation. They even arranged a time for me to rehearse with them to make sure everything was perfect. I don’t have the words to express what a core memory it will be for the both of us that I got to perform our song at our wedding with our favorite band, and it is something we will remember for the rest of our lives..

This is a long email, but there are still not enough worlds to show how much we appreciated instant classics throughout the night. We are truly grateful, and will forever be grateful. We cannot wait to see the band again in Copperblues hopefully soon.

Amazing wedding band

Great band that plays a wide variety of songs. Guests were dancing the whole night! Brandon was really easy to work with. They even learned our first dance songs which made it extra special to have them played live

The PERFECT wedding band for people who enjoy live, energetic music!

Music has always been an important part of our relationship. Some of our favorite memories are of live music. We knew this was a HUGE decision to make, but not a HARD one. The Instant Classics were the clear perfect choice.

They brought SO much energy and emotion to all of our guests, from the ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dances, all the way through to the final songs of the reception. We got so many comments from all of our guests about how INCREDIBLE they were. Some people mentioned they walked in for the first dances and saw us thinking "oh how beautiful" before realizing OMG it's LIVE music! We appreciated the quality of sound they brought to such a special dance.

Many, many people literally can't stop talking about how perfect they were and how they gave everyone the energy to stay on the dance floor the whole night. We (bride & groom) didn't leave the dance floor the whole night - and it remains my favorite part of the whole day. Every song kept getting better and better. The last two songs were SO special. The whole night was SO magical thanks to the band. When we remember our wedding day, they will stand out in our memories.

Amazing wedding band!

We first hired The Instant Classics Band for my eldest daughter's wedding in November of 2018 at El Chorro. They were so amazing that we most recently hired them again for my younger daughter's wedding in April of 2021 at Paradise Valley Country Club. I don't have adequate words to fully explain how talented this group is! I mean this from the bottom of my heart! The dance floor was packed the entire time during both receptions and no one wanted the night to end! Brandon was outstanding to work with, very responsive to our needs and requests and made certain all of our expectations were not only met but exceeded! I know that sounds "cliché" but it's the truth! This group is so engaging, fun, and you can tell they honestly enjoy watching their guests have a great time. Don't hesitate if you are looking for a live band and a night to remember ~ Instant Classics will not disappoint! :) ( We hired a 10 piece including brass)

Hire the instant classics!

We highly recommend you hire the instant classics for your wedding or corporate event. For our wedding ceremony we had their acoustic trio, playlist for cocktail hour and the full band for our reception. The ceremony was beautiful and amazing, and they had our every last one of our guests on the dance floor ALL evening (all ages included!) All of our guests talked about them the next day too. They provide an unforgettable and unique experience; worth every penny. Definitely hire them. The lighting is also incredible!

You won't regret hiring The Instant Classics for your big day!

Hiring The Instant Classics was one of the best decisions we made for our Wedding Day! Our dance floor was packed all night and every guest commented on how much they loved the band. The Instant Classics were easy to work with, some of the nicest people and are an EXTREMELY talented group. They have an extensive list of songs to play and they even learned a few special songs for our big day. I would highly recommend The Instant Classics for any special event. We will definitely be contacting The Instant Classics again 😊

Outstanding entertainment

The Instant Classics were the best addition to our wedding! They made the day even more special! Everyone had a great time and very much enjoyed listening to them play! We couldn’t have ask for more! They even provided the music for both bridal parties walk, the bride and father of the bride walk and the mother of the bride escorting to her seat. It was the easiest process and very professional. Huge talent in this band, a great time and have forever fans in us! Thank you!

This is THE wedding band!

Our experience with the Instant Classics was absolutely perfect. We saw them at a friend's wedding and knew instantly (no pun intended) that we wanted them to play our wedding. They're flexible with options of instrumentation. We loved the addition of the horns. It allowed them to play some of our favorite funk tunes. Their catalog is quite extensive with a wide range of genres perfect for any type of event. Finally, their execution is extremely tight. I was in a band myself for 8 years and could really appreciate every aspect of their performance. On top of it all, they allowed three of my friends to join them on stage and sing a song. Those three moments were some of my favorite minutes of my entire wedding day. I highly recommend the Instant Classics for any occasion. Thanks, y'all!
