SO much fun! Our dance floor was packed all night!

We already knew before booking, but The Walkens ROCKED it! They had an awesome playlist and Tod was so easy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!

Professional & Easy to work with!

After rescheduling our wedding 4 times during the pandemic, we sadly were not able to have the Walkens play at our wedding. However, they were so professional, supportive and easy to work with throughout so many changed plans, I wanted to give them a positive review. They really went above and beyond for us and I'd highly recommend them!

The Best Band for Events in AZ!

The Walkens are a beyond amazing group of musicians! They are so great at reading the crowd and know exactly what songs to chose to get everyone up and dancing! At our wedding, the dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT! Our first dance song was not on their music selection list and they learned it for us! Also, I wanted to do a surprise mash-up of two songs for the father/daughter dance and Tod and the band were able to do it seamlessly! We love you all! You literally rock!

The Best Band Period!

The Walken's was the band at a wedding I was the planner this May and let me tell you they are by far the best band around! They are amazing in every way and my favorite part was when they called up our bride to sing on stage and it was electric! I can not recommend them enough! Thank you Walken's Band! Events By Sloane will recommend you again and hopefully soon!

The Best Wedding Band

Have hired the Walkens several times and they were a must for my daughters wedding. They made the reception with all 160 people dancing all night. You can't go wrong with this band they are the best. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Best band in AZ!

Seriously the best band in AZ! They did such an amazing job at my wedding this year! Tod the band lead was great to work with and very professional, the band sounded amazing and really seemed to cater the song choices to the crowd since everyone was dancing literally all night (and most didn't even want to leave at the end of the reception!). Also, they learned our first dance song and played it on point! I was also worried since they would have to emcee the entire event as well, but they have a ton of experience at weddings clearly and that went flawlessly and they kept everything on schedule. I would highly recommend to anyone, and I will definitely hire them again for events in the future.

The Walkens were absolutely amazing - Tod and the band did an excellent job from start to finish! Tod met with us prior to the evening to make sure we were comfortable with the flow of the event, sent us a list of songs to review, and at the wedding he read the crowd perfectly and kept the entire party dancing from start to finish. Everyone complemented how fun the band was! Thanks again!

We chose the Walkens for our wedding and everyone in attendance said they were incredible! They truly made the evening a night to remember! They really are worth every penny! We've turned into fans and have attended their performances around the area. It's always a fun time! We HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding or special event.

Five stars are not enough! I need 10! The Walkens are absolutely the BEST! The dance floor at our wedding was packed the entire night! The Walkens played something for everyone, and even accommodated requests on site. Tod is a total professional and was great to work with in the planning. The band on-site was spectacular! I can't tell you how many times that night and in the weeks following, I heard: "That band was AWESOME!!" I can't recommend The Walkens highly enough!
