2022 Outdoor Summer Wedding

We hired the Side Project for an outdoor summer wedding in Seattle, Suzie, Ben, and two other musicians. Their singing and music created the perfect mood throughout the day for us to celebrate, a beautiful performance for us all to remember. From the start, Suzie was incredibly helpful and responsive, sharing advice, listening to our ideas, and always willing to offer options and work within our budget. Her flexibility and guidance made it easy for us to plan the day and simply enjoy the moment.

Seamless Communication and Sounded Wonderful!

Suzy and Ben were amazing from start to finish! We hired The Side Project to play for our wedding and they did everything they could to make the process go smoothly for us. They communicated quickly and clearly, sounded amazing, and even let us use their sound equipment for the ceremony/speeches/DJ dancing at the end of the night. Don't question it, hire The Side Project!

Our Wedding with The Side Project.

We got married in July 2021 on a beautiful sunny day that was also blessed by the wonderful music of The Side Project. Suzie and Ben and the three other musicians they partnered with for our event that was both in-person and online via were a bliss to work with during the whole process, from the planning months through the ceremony and brunch with our in-person guests. They were very responsive and fully engaged during the planning process, offering great suggestions from their long experience in various types of events, including weddings. They were very open to accommodate our special requests, which included making room right in the middle of a song at the end of our ceremony for a toast for our online guests. They learned a couple songs that were dear to us but were not yet part of their repertoire (yet). Their cover of those songs made our wedding ceremony very personal and special. We received so many compliments from our guests about how the band had made our wedding a very memorable event. We would recommend The Side Project for your wedding, or any event, big or small!
