Brought the life of the party!

The Refrigerators were truly one of the top highlights of our wedding! Dave & team brought so much energy to the dance floor and had such great sound & vocals. Throughout the entire process, Dave was so easy to work with, had a thought-out process that made it all so easy for us. They provided everything - ceremony music, background music, DJ, and the main event. The value they brought was so worth it and wouldn't have changed a thing. Dave was such a joy to work with!

Best part of our wedding, hands down!

We had such a fantastic experience working with Dave and The Refrigerators. They know how to get the party going—the dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night. They aren't just musicians, they are true performers and know how to cater to the crowd. When we debriefed with our friends and family after our wedding, they all said the same thing: "Where did you find the band?! They were amazing!!!"

In the months leading up to our wedding, Dave, the band manager, was super easy to work with as we finalized details like timeline, song requests, DJ announcements, etc. He was very detail-oriented and we felt incredibly confident going into wedding day that the entertainment would go off without a hitch (which it did!). Can not recommend The Refrigerators highly enough!

Incredible music and energy

The Refrigerators were an AMAZING addition to our wedding day. Leading up to the event, they were highly professional and easy to work with. They played with such high energy and skill, and kept the dance floor absolutely full our entire wedding night. We have received compliments time and time again on this band. They were one of the biggest highlights of our day, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to include them in our wedding day.

Refrigerators rocked it!

The refrigerators are NEXT LEVEL live music. Most wedding bands I have seen are mediocre energy and seem to not be into it. The Refrigerators were high energy, totally into every single song they played and sounded absolutely incredible, from throwback old school 80's dance music to new age pop, they had it all. Incredible vocalists and musicians and all around performance talent. At one point the lead singer was army crawling through the dance floor with his mic. Interactive with the crowd and not one person was NOT on the dance floor. I can not say enough good things about these guys and honestly they were the highlight of the day. People reached out afterwards saying, WOW THAT BAND. I can gush for hours about them and try to relive every moment. Bottom line: I would recommend them over and over again.

The band did a fabulous job playing at our Company Party. There wasn't one song played where people didn't dance! They have a great sound, are super to work with, and accommodate groups of all ages! I would recommend them to anyone for any event. Thanks to all of you guys!

My wife and I can't say enough about the Refrigerators on our wedding day! They were truly amazing and made the day so much fun. The entire party was dancing around the room all night non stop and went along with all of our crazy group's requests. They went with it when several people came on stage and played with the band and kept everyone excited and partying all night. We would absolutely recommend them for any event, weddings especially. It wouldn't have been the same night without them!

Awesome band! They provided a mix of slow and fast songs for over 800 guests and kept the party going and people out dancing. We've used The Refrigerators on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed.

The Refrigerators were everything we were hoping for! They helped us make our wedding day into the best party we have ever had. All our guests loved the music, had a great time dancing and could not have been happier with them. They were flexible and attentive to our needs. It was the perfect day with their help.

The band was very accommodating to what the Bride and Groom wanted for their wedding and reception. Very helpful and guiding on the best way to have the reception flow smoothly. The music they played kept majority of the guests dancing all night. We received wonderful comments from Friends and Family after the wedding about the great time they had and how wonderful the music was.

My husband and I booked The Refrigerators for a jazz quartet during our cocktail hour, and then the full band during our reception, with the DJ to play during their set break for our May 2014 wedding. I cannot say enough good things about them!! We booked them after seeing them perform at Vapor Nightclub in Saratoga... they blew us away!

Right from the get-go, Dave was great to work with and super responsive to any of our questions or concerns that came up during the planning process. They really went above and beyond when they created their own unique arrangement of our wedding song, modifying it to make it easier to dance to than the original song, and sending us recordings of it leading up to the wedding so we knew what to expect. I think we spent at least half our first dance saying to each other "This sounds AMAZING!"

1+ year after the wedding, our guests are still talking about how much they loved the band... it's the first thing they mention when we see them. The Refrigerators provided pure entertainment and fun throughout the night. Our dance floor was PACKED the entire time, from our grandparents right down to our 7 year old flower girl... they had something for everyone.

There were plenty of things to stress about during wedding planning, but this was not one of them. I knew without a doubt that not only could I rely on The Refrigerators to be on time and professional, but that they would also make sure everyone had a great time.

I do not hesitate to recommend The Refrigerators 100%... and if you're still not convinced, go check them out at one of their live shows... you'll be hooked!
