Hire them now!!

I can't say enough AMAZING things about Skyline Drive Orchestra. From the moment we met Mitch, we knew this was the band we had to hire. He's a salt of the earth kind of guy and straight shooter. The entire band was so incredibly professional, kind, and immensely talented. We hired them as a 7 piece band with two horns and they had people on the dance floor all night with a variety of hits throughout the decades. Everyone kept coming up to us all night asking how we found them. I love that they interacted with the audience and they truly kept the party going all night. Can't recommend them enough. If you're hesitating, just say yes :)

Highly Recommend!!

As soon as we booked our wedding venue, we knew we had to choose Skyline Drive Orchestra as our band! They played at my brother's wedding and blew us away! Mitch is professional, easy to work with, and enhanced our vision. The selection of music/songs that they are capable of performing exhibits the level of talent that they possess. Our friends and family couldn't get off the dance floor! I highly recommend Skyline Drive Orchestra - they helped make our special day even more perfect!

Extremely accommodating and amazing band!

We had them play at our wedding this past February and they were extremely easy to work with it, especially when it came to our religious accommodations. They were able to easily read the dance floor and adjust the mood of the music accordingly. My personal favorite experience in seeing the band preform is their own enjoyment of playing music. They gave us flexibility with certain unique things we wanted, including playing sheet music I had written for the first dance. Amazing energy and great band!

Amazing Band - Highly Recommend!

We couldn't have been happier with our decision to work with Skyline Drive Orchestra for our wedding! Leading up to the wedding, Mitch was extremely friendly, quick to answer all questions, and made us feel very confident that the day was going to be a great success. The music can make or break a wedding, and Skyline Drive Orchestra exceeded all expectations! They learned the songs we requested for our first dance and ceremony, and did a fantastic job! The guests at our wedding were on the dance floor all night long, and no one wanted to leave at the end of the night! The band was very high energy, and they played music that was fun for everyone to dance to. We would highly recommend!

Wonderful Wedding Band

Skyline Drive Orchestra was our band for our September 2022 wedding. We couldn't have more positive things to say about them! Coordinating details in advance with Mitch was super easy. The day of, they provided all the equipment needed including microphones for our ceremony. They were super accommodating with song requests and knocked our first dance song out of the park. The band was so high energy throughout the whole night - the whole wedding was dancing all night long. Throughout the night, so many guests kept telling my husband and I how wonderful and energetic our band was. At the end of the night, they would have kept playing if our venue didn't have a hard shut down time. Overall, 10/10 experience and highly recommend booking with them.

Beware- you will be on the dance floor ALL night!

Skyline Drive Orchestra was FANTASTIC! Mitch and his team had our guests dancing all night long. They were very accommodating to all of our requests and special dedications that we wanted. We even were able to meet Mitch and here him play prior to our wedding which was a nice added bonus. I know there can be some reservations with hiring a band versus a DJ, but Skyline Drive Orchestra will not disappoint!

Skyline Drive - just add dancing!

Our youngest daughter got married on September 10, 2022. The Skyline Drive Orchestra played at our older daughter's wedding eight years ago and brought the house down then. So naturally, we reached out to Mitch once again. He did not disappoint. The band was phenomenal! From the first song of the night until the party ended, the dance floor was full. The bride and groom chose a more obscure song for their first dance that the band had to learn, and they absolutely nailed it. The father daughter dance included an unusual mash-up of two very different songs, and they absolutely nailed it. Mitch was very easy going and brought the party. We chose this band twice - so obviously we recommend them wholeheartedly!

Energetic, professional and FUN!

Book this band! My fiancé and I booked Skyline Drive Orchestra for our July 3 wedding and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made. Leading up to the wedding, we worked with Mitch to book the band and finalize the details. Mitch is a 'salt of the earth' type of person. He is kind, approachable and honest. His transparency immediately put me and my fiancé at ease, and his enthusiasm got us excited about the band and our big day!

When the day finally came, Skyline Drive Orchestra DELIVERED. Oh man did they deliver! To start, every person in that band is clearly an expert at their craft. The horns brought the energy and played off of one another - which was so much fun to see! The vocalists interacted with the audience and hit notes that literally caused a few dancers to stop and stare in awe. Everyone in the band brought an energy that kept guests out of their seats and on the dancefloor! It's already been a week since the wedding and I'm still getting texts from friends and family about how great the band was!

Skyline Drive Orchestra also expertly managed the flow of the evening. The band transitioned between energetic songs that got everyone on their feet and more relaxed, romantic tunes. They also filled the time between takes (e.g., dinner, dessert) with lovely background music for guests to enjoy. I truly can't thank them enough for such a wonderful evening! Seriously people, book this band.

Such a fun, talented band!

There is nothing like a live band! We hired Mitch and Skyline Drive Orchestra as an 11 piece band complete with a horn section. They played throughout our reception and kept people on the dance floor for literally the entire night (seriously- the floor was never empty). Their lead singers are outstanding and their horn section is something special! They have a great assortment of music that satisfies all ages of people. I am so glad to have had them at our wedding and I would book them again in a heartbeat!

Book this band!

Hiring Mitch and his team should be the easiest decision you make when planning your wedding! The whole process was so easy from start to finish and they were beyond accomodating. They learned any song we needed for our ceremony and reception and the execution was flawless. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how amazing our band was and asking, "Where did you find them!?" Trust me on this, BOOK THEM!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
