Best wedding band out there

BOOK. BOOK. BOOK! We just had our wedding at the Crystal Tea Room this past weekend. When i tell you Tim and his band absolutely KILLED it, I am not kidding. One of the top things people took away from our wedding was how amazing the band was and how they did not stop all night. We had toddlers and adults out dancing for all 4 hours. They played everything from Creed to Noah Kahan, to Taylor Swift. Tims acoustic sets were perfect for our first dance of Mess is Mine by Vance Joy, Lindsay and Marcus for our cocktail hour was unreal. Such an intimate vibe in that large space is exactly what we were going for. The band sounded UNREAL. They flipped the room so quickly over cocktail hour so we didn't have to have draping or anything behind the ceremony stage. They TRULY know how to work the room. If you can get them for your wedding day, birthday party, or get a chance to see them locally, I HIGHLY recommend. Tim, thank you again!

The best of both worlds!!

Tim Williams band is amazing. We were able to have a live music acoustic duo play at our cocktail hour and Tim was the DJ/MC for our reception. Although we were not able to have the entire band, we would have loved to if our venue was slightly bigger! My husband and I love to enjoy live music, but we also love to dance to throwbacks on the dance floor all night at a wedding. This was truly the best of both worlds! Our guests won’t stop raving to us about how great the music was all night. If you’re considering booking with Tim Williams band, just do it!

Packed Dance Floor All Night!

We cannot say enough great things about the Tim Williams Band! From start to finish, they were incredible to work with — so kind, professional, and attentive to every detail. Tim made sure all of our favorite songs were included, from Bruce to Harry Styles, and the set list was the perfect mix for every generation.

On the night of our wedding, the energy was unmatched. Lindsey and Tim’s vocals were phenomenal, the instrumentals were outstanding, and the dance floor was packed all night long. We heard from so many of our guests how much fun they had — everyone was up dancing and singing along. Tim was also a fantastic MC, keeping the night running smoothly and making sure everything felt seamless.

We’d book them again in a heartbeat. If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, the Tim Williams Band is it!

Non-stop fun from the first note and a pleasure to work with.

I'd like to send my many thanks to all the members of the Tim Williams Band for the amazing music that you provided for my daughter and son-in-law's Wedding. The day was everything they dreamed of. When she started planning- I asked what was her priority- the venue, the food, the flowers, the music....she quickly said the music. "I want that Jersey Shore night at The Columns feel!".

Well you all certainly provided that and more! From the very first beat till the last song, the dance floor was full. I've never seen so many empty chairs at a wedding!

The song choices, talent and energy were at the highest levels. So many people have said it was the best wedding- and the best party- they ever attended. They appreciated that the variety of music allowed all ages to feel included, and that slow songs were played as well. (The vocals during At Last were mentioned repeatedly!). We have received countless calls and texts complimenting the band and asking for your name.

Two different musicians recommended your band- not only for talent- but because of what great people you all are. They were spot on- you were all sooooo nice. Truly a pleasure to work with.

My daughter and son-in-law are a very special couple and loved by all. They are constantly doing for others. They put so much effort into their planning trying to create a great time for their guests. They achieved their goal and you all were a huge part of that. It was such a fun night!!! Thank you for making them so very happy- they never stopped smiling all day. I truly appreciate you all.

I HIGHLY recommend Tim Williams Band!

From start to finish, Tim and his band went and beyond to make our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception feel uniquely us. Every request we had was met with enthusiasm and flexibility, and Tim handled every unexpected moment with grace and professionalism.
The band is hands down the most talked-about part of our wedding. Every member of the band is incredibly talented. They played everything from rock and pop to country and even Eminem, keeping the dance floor packed the entire night.
Tim’s authenticity and talent was seen through every step of the process. He made the whole experience not only smooth but unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wedding band this is the one. We wish we could relive the day all over again. They’re simply the best!

Tim Williams Band was simply the best!

Hiring the Tim Williams Band for our daughter’s wedding was simply the best decision we made. Tim was the consummate professional throughout the entire process. He met with the couple several times to discuss their preferences and definitely delivered to make their big day so special. Tim and the entire band are so talented and brought such a high energy, fun vibe that had everyone dancing and singing the entire night. He’s offers different options to suit your needs from DJ, duo up to the full 7 piece band. We thought the service was amazing and pricing was reasonable. A great value. We highly recommend using them for your special occasion! Read on for more details.

We had the full band for the reception and guitar duo, keyboard and amazing vocals of Lindsey McKay for the ceremony and cocktails. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Tim really listened and honored our kids’ preferences. He kept the night moving pacing the special dances, speeches, etc in between songs that kept the dance floor packed all night. He’s a great musician, band leader and MC. He even helped us pick the venue. And arranged for a special guest to make the night even more special. The music, energy and overall vibe was amazing. We literally did not sit down the entire night. We had so much fun!!

It’s been a few months and to this day our wedding guests and people who heard about it keep reminding us that it was the best night ever. And it was! Several friends who were there have hired Tim and recommended him to others for their big day. There are so many things to consider when planning a wedding. Take out the stress and be sure that yours will be amazing with the Tim Williams Band! We highly recommend Tim and his band for your special occasion You will not be sorry! You can check out his tour schedule at TimWilliams.com or @timwilliamsband on insta to catch him and the band. And don’t forget the super talented @williamsweddingco to capture the big day in photos and video.

My daughters wedding band!

Wow, wow, wow — the Tim Williams Band is absolutely amazing!
My daughter's DJ canceled at the last minute, and Tim stepped in to save the day
— truly a blessing in disguise. His professionalism and talent were unmatched; honestly, the best l've ever seen.
Tim played acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour, then seamlessly transitioned into DJ mode for the reception. He brought such a cool, unique energy and flawlessly blended all the different genres we requested.
I truly don't think any other DJ could've suited her wedding better. Thank you, Tim, for doing such an incredible job and making her wedding one for the books!

Amazing combo of live music and DJ service!

My daughter's wedding was this past weekend, and Tim MADE the party such a success! From the time we started working with him 18 months ago, he was friendly and open. At the wedding, Tim and one of his band members played acoustic guitars/sang for our guests as they came in. Then during cocktail hour, they continued. So many people complimented their sound- it was the perfect ambiance. Beautiful voices!

At the reception part, we moved to Tim serving as DJ. And he was fabulous!! We had had a meeting prior to the wedding, and he truly took the kids' visions and brought it to life. The music he selected had the dance floor packed all night! We didn't want any gimmicks- so no light wands or props. He read the room, played the music, and let the party flow. One funny note that several people have commented on: during my husband's speech, he mentioned watching the movie Titanic. As his speech ended, Tim had the music from Titanic playing. People asked, "did he know this was part of the speech?" NO he did not, but he paid attention and truly customized it. Those little moments made the night so special.

Finally at the end, the kids wanted a private last dance. Tim orchestrated that, got 200 people cleared out, set it up, took pictures of them (as the photographer had already left!), and then he left the area, to give them true privacy! What a class act!! Tim later texted me the 20 pictures he took so that we could have them.

I can not speak highly enough about Tim. We wanted a mix of live music and a DJ, and he went above and beyond to make our vision happen. So many compliments on the music, which we all know, is truly what people remember. I 1000% recommend Tim to everyone and anyone! You will not be disappointed!!

Simply the best! Keep on rocking!

We hired Tim Williams and his band for our wedding and it was the best decision we made! From the planning stages to the wedding day itself, Tim was incredibly professional, communicative, and truly listened to how we wanted our special day to feel. He sent us a song list and list of questions about what we wanted, specific song choices and what to avoid to fit our preferences.
The band’s talent is unmatched. Their sound during the dinner reception was a wonderful backdrop to guests mingling and when it was time to party the dance floor was packed all night. They knew exactly how to read the room, transitioning flawlessly between live music and DJ sets during band breaks. Every guest we’ve spoken to since has raved about how amazing our band was. They even entertained my husband's request to invite his friend who is a drummer in a somewhat popular band to perform one of his songs with them! It was a hit!
Tim went above and beyond to ensure the night was stress-free, seamless and he helped with venue microphone/speaker setup for our harpist and officiant. He was thorough, flexible, and professional and fun to work with. We truly could not imagine our wedding without them. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your wedding, keep the party going, and leave a lasting impression on your guests, look no further—Tim Williams Band is the way to go! We could not recommend them more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
