The BEST vendor we worked with!

Seriously, stop hunting for a band and book The Toast RIGHT NOW. Easily the best vendor we worked with during the entire wedding process. Not only are they a great band, Andrew is a pleasure to work with. He's punctual with his communication, organized, and really takes the time to learn what his couples are all about. We had 100% trust from our very first inquiry, which continued through the end of the reception. This cannot be emphasized enough when planning a wedding! The ease of communication, the trust, and the expertise makes all the difference in your vendors! Andrew was willing to work with us on all of our ideas for the reception, knew how to roll with the unpredictabilities that happen with every wedding day, and handled all the logistical items necessary for the band directly with our reception venue. Therefore, the biggest thing we had to worry about regarding the band was picking the song for our first dance.
Not only was Andrew and team the best of our vendors to work with, the MUSIC and PARTY they led was amazing. We received so many compliments at the end of the night, many from our friends and family who are musicians themselves. The Toast has a set list that is very classic - everyone at the reception will know and want to dance to these songs! They kept the dance floor full and guests entertained ALL night long.
Thank you to The Toast for your exceptional service and for making our wedding reception a party to be remembered.

Great Band! Everyone Loved them!

We hired The Toast as our wedding band and they were fabulous. Learned any song we asked for, were super easy to work with, and are great performers. Our guests had a great time!

Hire them!

Wow, you will not regret hiring the toast! We, last minute, chose to hire a band. The process we experienced was exceptional. My first interaction was directly with the owner, who asked about our vision and broke down all the "unknowns" over a phone call. After that conversation, an assistant keeps in contact with you. Ours happened to be one of the musicians on the night of (not sure if its always like that). Very responsive and really organized. I sent many emails updating information, and they were on top of it (shout out to Alex!). Also, I had a very tight music list I was okay with (Christian), and a lot of those songs were not on their websites list. They really do take requests of songs, and the band made it sound like it was their personal favorites/always played. The band truly enjoyed the art, and you could tell they were having fun! Also, one of the band members had an emergency (a unexpected death, so a legitimate reason) hours before our wedding. They subbed in another band member, and you could not tell the difference. Our venue had a lot of sound bouncing issues, that they came early and set up beautifully so that it wasn't noticed at all. They know their trade. Also, they are so receptive to the crowd's response, and will tailor the music accordingly. It truly was worth every penny, and forever grateful to them.

Also - to note - people from our wedding who weren't able to dance told us it was like a concert for them and thoroughly enjoyed it.

My only regret was not being able to thank them in person more, as it meant so much to us (but being a bride/groom keeps you busy!! haha).

You've found your wedding band

I keep telling people the only regret of my wedding day was that I could not have danced to The Toast for another 8 hours. Trust me when I say, you’ve found the band that will take your reception to the next level and keep the dance floor popping all night long. Andrew was so easy to work with — responsive, responsible and so accommodating to our ideas for the music. These are professional musicians that care about delivering music that will blow you and your guests away — so many people have complimented them in the weeks since our wedding, some have even said they felt like they were at a concert!

Book with the toast now!

Do not hesitate to book with the Toast, in fact, DO IT NOW! We worked with Andrew ( owner and organizer) for our wedding. The Toast provided live music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception party. As a couple honing from Los Angeles, we had high expectations for our entertainment- the Toast surpassed all of our expectations. The Toast has the most TALENTED collection of artists and musicians who provide live, curated, music for ANY genre or event. From our very first meeting, it was apparent that Andrew was a PRO and extremely experienced- he led us through every detail and provided suggestions when needed. It was a pleasure to work with such experienced artists leading up to our wedding. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful and responsive Andrew was through the wedding planning process. My husband and i had very specific requests for the music and vibe that we wanted to create, but with little to no musical experience, we did not know how to translate that into musical sounds. I put all of my trust into Andrew and the Toast, and I am SO GLAD i did. Andrew was able to personally curate everything we DREAMED of. It was so incredible to see it all FLAWLESSLY come together for our wedding ceremony music. BOOK WITH THE TOAST, you will not regret it!!

The best band!

We couldn’t have dreamed up a better band to play at our wedding reception. The Toast killed it. In addition to the awesome music, were professional, polite, and willing to do anything to make our day more special. We had a special special request, and Andrew went above and beyond to get it done. He coordinated things with our venue so well. Working with him was super easy. Would absolutely recommend The Toast!

The Toast is Amazing!

The Toast was there for us for everything! They have an amazing sound and keep the party going. I highly recommend them and wish the best for everyone that helped that day. We looked at many other bands but The Toast was the best by far. We were a little worried since we didn't see many videos and we didn't have a change to see them play live, but I'm telling you they are worth it. Andrew and his team communicated with us the entire time up until and after the wedding. He was professional and experienced. I loved seeing how hard the band played and how much work they put into making our day special. Thank you!

Excellent performance. Highly recommended

Andrew played a wide range of popular songs and everyone in our party was impressed with the music. Pricing was very reasonable and Andrew was very easy to work with. I have heard him perform at other venues and I have always been impressed with his style of music.

World Class Talent!

Andrew and The Toast were PHENOMENAL!
Andrew responded to our initial inquiry on the same day, and had a contract ready for us to sign within 24 hours. We had multiple meetings with Andrew, hashing out all the details of the night. Having Andrew MC was integral to the flow of the night. Each of the members has INCREDIBLE talent - they are world class musicians that have years of experience in the music industry, gigging, touring, and recording all across the nation. The Toast is worth every penny! My wife and I didn’t have a single conversation with our 150+ guests that didn’t include the phrase, “WOW - where did you find this band, they are AMAZING!” They had people out on the dance floor that more often than not refuse to dance.

Loved The Toast!

We had a great experience working with Andrew (the leader of The Toast) and the rest of The Toast band. Our wedding guests couldn't stop raving about how great of musicians they all were. They played all the typical wedding songs that we asked for, along with a few special ones that maybe aren't played at a lot of weddings. The planning process was great as well, in figuring out the set list and the logistics of the day. Andrew was able to give us a good timeline of how long everything takes and what we could expect for combining the reception with the band's performance. Thanks to that, everything went very smooth and the band was able to play lots of music. Andrew was able to figure out the logistics with the venue and that meant less communication that had to run through us. We were very happy to have great live music to make the big day even more memorable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
