Best DJ Ever

Lucas was great, I had no idea where to start when it came to looking for songs for our wedding. His questionnaire was very helpful since it let him know what I was looking for with what type of vibes I wanted so when it came to the dance floor playlist he nailed it. Like usual, many people requested songs and Lucas always ran it by me before playing something crazy (ie Cotton Eyed Joe). I would recommend Lucas to anyone, he’s fun, professional and knows how to keep the energy up!

Lucas Roy Official!!!!

Lucas was absolutely incredible at our wedding. From the moment he started playing, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how talented he was. His acoustic guitar music created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and throughout the day, and it added such a special touch to our celebration.

Not only is he an exceptional musician, but he was also a pleasure to work with. He was professional, responsive, and made the entire process effortless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

If you’re looking for a talented acoustic guitarist for your wedding or event, I cannot recommend Lucas highly enough. He exceeded all of our expectations and helped make our day unforgettable.

Holiday Parties with The Middle Men

We’ve had The Middle Men perform at our annual holiday party multiple times, and they never disappoint! Their setlist is always fantastic—perfectly balanced to keep the energy high and the crowd engaged. Beyond their musical talent, they are incredibly professional, accommodating, and easy to work with. Every interaction has been smooth, and they consistently go above and beyond to make our events memorable. If you’re looking for a band that delivers great music and an exceptional experience, The Middle Men are the way to go!

No brainer!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Lucas play at our June wedding at The 1774 Inn. His acoustic guitar and vocals created the perfect atmosphere for our dinner party wedding and truly elevated the entire experience.

Lucas managed the day seamlessly (and even got to work beside his talented wife Kelcey of K. Marie Events as our day of coordinator 🤍), navigating intermittent rain showers and multiple locations for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. We loved that he offered a thoughtful mix of live acoustic and recorded music. There was something for everyone in attendance.

If you’re looking for music that feels both heartfelt and unforgettable, we cannot recommend him enough. We can’t wait to catch more of his local performances! Thanks Lucas!!

Easiest vendor decision ever!!

We’ve been fans of The Middle Men for a long time, and having them play at our wedding was an absolute dream come true! They brought the energy all night long and had everyone on the dance floor—including my 10-year-old little brother who was crowd surfing! Lucas went above and beyond, surprising us with a beautiful acoustic set during cocktail hour, even though we hadn’t requested it.

From start to finish, he expertly guided the flow of the reception, and in between sets, the band was so much fun to hang out with. We love them even more now and would recommend The Middle Men to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience... and as a bonus, check them out around town, you'll probably see a bunch of their newest fans & friends made at our wedding!

Amazing band! They will make your wedding!!

The Middle Men were absolutely amazing! Throughout the whole process Lucas and team were professional, helpful and provided such a great, easy going energy as we prepared and executed our wedding day.

The communication ahead of time was great as they walked us through the day that included ceremony and cocktail music by Lucas. We loved getting the sample playlist ahead of time. During the day Lucas was awesome about checking in with us and our day off coordinator about timeline and helping making sure we were on track.

They kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. We had SO many guests tell us how they are not “dancers” and they were shocked that they spent the full reception dancing and that was because of the band’s energy and song selections. The range of songs and genres were amazing and they nailed each and every one. I think TMM may see some of our guests at their future shows - they seriously cannot stop talking about how fun and amazing they were 😊

Would 100% recommend hiring them - they made our wedding!

April 2024 Wedding for Nat & Kev

If I could recommend everyone to work with Lucas and the Middle Men band I would! They were absolutely amazing to work with from the start to the very last song played on the dance floor. We began speaking with Lucas and he worked with us through our timeline, budget and desired songs. We decided to go with a 3 piece Jazz band for our cocktail hour which added such a great musical element to welcome our guests. Then moving into the dinner portion of the evening we had the 4 piece band. Lucas helped us with our flow of the evening with speeches and first dances it all worked so perfectly. Then when it was time to party the band really turned it up!! Their flow and song selection was perfect and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long!! I even had a special request for the last song to close out the night and the Middle Men made it happen. We could not recommend this band more everyone should book them as they will create such a memorable time for your event and guests!!

The Middle Men know how to party!!!

I highly recommend The Middle Men for your wedding. It has been a few months since our big day and we still have friends & family commenting on how great the band was. The dance floor was packed the entire night, whether they were playing or simply DJ-ing.

Lucas and the rest of the guys are extremely easy to work with, fun, and made our day so special. They were very amendable to changes and easy going. We had potential weather and venue issues, but the band was ready to roll with the punches.

We can’t thank Lucas and The Middle Men enough for being a huge part of our day and would highly recommend them for any event.

10/10 - not your average wedding band

The Middle Men was easily the #1 most talked about aspect of our wedding. Everyone from our friends to our parents friends, and older relatives was on the dance floor the entire time. I don't think there was a single song people did not know and every expectation we had before the wedding was definitely exceeded. If you like 90's and 2000's nostalgic rock music like blind 182, the killers, linkin park, etc with a little bit of hip hop like eminem mixed in, these guys are for you.

The music was such a huge part of our wedding and we wanted to do something different than your typical wedding back and The Middle Men delivered that in 10 fold. They took our wedding to a whole different level and helped add a lot of really nice touches throughout the day, not just for the dancing reception.

Working with Lucas and the team was also awesome. Lucas was incredible easy to work with, took our feedback seriously, and tailored their sets to the vibe we were looking to achieve. We were lucky enough to see them live before our wedding so it was also cool to build a little bit of an in person relationship ahead of the event and we will definitely see them live many more times in the future.

Couldn't recommend them any more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
