About

THE SPECIAL EDITION BAND authentically and powerfully performs a vast repertoire ranging from current Pop-dance hits, to Rock, Country, Latin and Jazz, and will customize our music to fit each event, client and venue.

There are lots of cookie-cutter, big box entertainment options out there these days, but to have a real, working band, that is a cohesive unit, with tons of experience and hundreds of rave reviews will be one of the best decisions you can make!


· If the ceremony and reception are at that same venue we can offer amazing packages that include ceremony/strings music, jazz trio for cocktails, and our 10pce band for the dinner and dancing;
· Depending upon the date, venue and exact needs and parameters, we can sometimes offer discounted OR scaled down options below that range, TBD;
· For all of our private event bookings we handle all needed emcee duties, pre-event consulting and time-line work, and customizing our music play-list, and we can also provide extra services such as additional ceremony sound-system with clip-on mic(s), a vendor referral for room/up-lighting, etc.;
· We can point you to a link on our website containing info and samples on those ceremony/strings and jazz cocktails options;
· As we dialog with inquiries, we will move as quickly as possible toward giving you a detailed proposal with options.

Areas Covered

The Special Edition Band is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where we perform primarily, but also travels to perform througout Texas and nearby states, and as well as other US regions and including internationally.

Best Band Ever!!

The Special Edition Band was 100% awesome. They kept the energy high for our entire 5-hour reception. Some of the band members go into the crowd and play their respective instrument while dancing with the crowd. So much fun!

The song selection was excellent as well. "I wanted to go get a drink and take a break, but they kept playing great songs so I had to stay and keep dancing" - Sister of the Groom

Friendly people and very accommodating. An absolute pleasure to work with. We would recommend them 10/10 for any event you are having if you want to have the most fun night of your life!

Amazing band!!

We loved having the Special Edition Band play at our wedding! John was incredibly kind and accommodated all of our requests, including learning how to play a specific song for our first dance. We got married in a venue that was a little bit more strict about set up times, and John made sure everything was done on time. They are incredibly talented, and almost everyone I've talked with who was at the wedding has mentioned how amazing the band was. Everyone was up and dancing, even those who typically don't dance at weddings! We also hired them to play jazz music during our cocktail hour, which was a delightful touch to the evening. We can't recommend them enough! One of the best decisions we made!

Special Edition Band for a Special Night!

The Special Edition Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our first dance choreographers had us completely spooked about having our band play our first dance alluding to other couples (with obviously different bands) having trouble with the band playing their song in a manner incorrect to how they practiced. We cut a whole portion out of our first dance song and slowed it down by about 15%, the Special Edition Band did not miss a beat! They played it at the perfect tempo and hit all of the marks. We could not have chosen a more perfect band! We were extremely pleased with the music all day & night long!

Great Band

The Special Edition Band played for our Dance Club at Robson Ranch in Denton. John was great to work with and the band was awesome. They were a lot of fun and kept everyone on their feet. We look forward to having them again soon and highly recommend them.

Great wedding band!

John was easy to work with from the start. We had a string quartet for the ceremony, jazz trio for cocktail hour, and the full band for the reception. All were wonderful! They were so accommodating to our requests and curated a fun atmosphere all night. Everyone loved when they came on the dancefloor with their instruments. We also had them perform our first dance and parent dances- which they did wonderfully.
We would definitely recommend to those looking for a wedding band!

Icing on the cake at the reception!

We hired the Special Edition Band for my daughter's wedding in December 2021. John was very thorough with communication and organization. The band did an excellent job and made the reception so much fun. Even months afterward we run into guests that compliment the band!

Our guests are still talking about them weeks later!!

The Special Edition Band was the highlight of our wedding! We actually first saw them playing at a friend's wedding and we knew that we had to have them at ours! From the very beginning of the planning process, John (the band manager) was super responsive and accommodating to our requests. The entire band was fantastic throughout our whole reception and they were the number one thing talked about at our wedding! Every band member was energetic and they even all came down onto the dance floor to interact with guests while playing for a few songs! Our crowd absolutely loved them and we are still receiving complements on them weeks later. The Special Edition band is a must have for your event, they will be the best vendor that you book!

Highly Recommend

For our wedding, we both agreed that a live band was an absolute must have. The Special Edition Band was everything we could have asked for and more. They learned our special dance songs and played them live, they had a good feel for the vibe of the dance floor and kept everything going. It was such a pleasure to work with John and go over all the details. I would highly recommend this group.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
