The Residents absolutely MADE our Welcome Party!

We hired The Residents Band to play at our daughter Caroline and son-in-law Daniel’s welcome party the night before their wedding, and I honestly could not have imagined a better choice.
From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room was incredible. They had nearly everyone on their feet—dancing, singing, and having an absolute blast! They were incredibly talented, engaging, and so much fun, and they knew exactly how to keep the party going.
They sang “Happy Birthday” to our good friend and officiant, and then got the bride up and sang “Sweet Caroline” to her. It was the highlight of the night!
What could have simply been a welcome party turned into one of the most memorable nights of our entire wedding weekend. Our family and friends are still talking about how much fun they had!
The Residents Band didn’t just provide the music—they created the atmosphere and made the night unforgettable. They were everything we could have hoped for and more.
A huge thank-you to their manager, Megan, and every member of The Residents Band, especially Richie and singers Sydney and Joey, for helping us kick off Caroline and Daniel’s wedding weekend in such an incredible way. We are so grateful, and we would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an amazing band for their event. You will not be disappointed!

Book them right now!!!

My husband and I booked The Residents Band for our wedding reception and they went above and beyond to make it AMAZING!! It was the best dance party we could have asked for. Their setlist was SO fun and had all of our guests up dancing for hours. We would relive it over and over if we could!!

I also wanted to note: their professionalism and punctuality was something I never even had to think about. They had everything running and set up and ready to go, and I never had to worry about a thing. Very thankful for them! Best choice we could have made for our wedding day!!

Best value for the best entertainment!

When hiring a band for your event you are always nervous that how they sound or entertain doesn't necessarily translate to your event. Let me settle all doubts for you...The Residents are better than advertised! They are extremely personable, relatable, and are truly focused on YOU from the start to the finish. From my first interaction with The Residents I knew they were different, but I didn't realize just how different they were until we hired them. They go above and beyond to truly make your party their priority. I will always hire The Residents for all of my events going forward. Thank you to all the band members and everyone involved. Yall are the best!

Live Music for Wedding

The Residents absolutely killed it at our wedding! They picked out the entire music set & reviewed with us a few days prior and MC'd the reception ceremony. It's been almost 2 years since our wedding and people still talk about how awesome the live music was. We would use them again no questions asked!
