The Best Wedding Band

Working with The Usual Suspects was a dream. They are so professional, nice and fun. We requested three songs and they surprised us by playing a fourth!

Their set list is fabulous and every musician is soooooo talented. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Usual Suspects Band played at our wedding reception and they are absolutely amazing! We had heard them play at a fund raiser several months before and we fell in love with them! We had not budgeted for a band, but after hearing them play, I had to have them! They are very reasonably priced for their talent! They also have a DJ that provided ceremony music, introductions, and music between breaks. They really made our reception unforgettable! Everyone was dancing and having a great time! They are very accommodating and friendly, just a great group of people! I highly recommend using Usual Suspects Band for your wedding/wedding reception!

We booked the Usual Suspects Band for our wedding reception, and it may have been the best decision we made! They were phenomenal and the dance floor was full all night, which was my number one goal. Amber (lead singer) is extremely talented and the horn section definitely adds that special something. We requested they learn 2 songs for us, and they sounded like they had been playing them for years. People kept telling us all night long how much they loved the band. Long story short- they absolutely killed it and we can't recommend them enough!
