Best Band Ever!

My venue had given us a list of preferred vendors, and Velocity's management company (ACA Entertainment) was on the list. They gave me a few band options, and from the brief snippet I read and the 3 minute video I saw about Velocity, I just felt like they would be a perfect fit for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, ACA was incredibly easy to work with - they were incredibly responsive, answering my many questions, and quick to offer me options and resolve any issues I may have had. On the wedding day, Jason (band leader of Velocity) was amazing - the set-up of the band was perfect, and he also helped with a mic and speaker for the ceremony and music for the cocktail hour/beginning of the reception! But once the band started playing during the reception - I cannot tell you how absolutely blown away I was (as well as all of our guests!). Velocity is truly the most talented band I've ever seen perform at a wedding - each band member was so incredibly talented and shined in their own ways throughout each set. They all absolutely brought the energy and played off of what our guests were loving. They also took a request of ours and them playing that song became one of our wedding highlights. Since the wedding, SO many of our guests have commented on how amazing Velocity was at the wedding. I really couldn't have asked for a better band to perform at our wedding, and will be singing their praises forever!

Kept people on the floor the whole time

Velocity were absolutely perfect. They played the room expertly and had folks on the dance floor from the first song until they wrapped up after 11pm. Absolutely killed everything from swing to rock to power ballads. Only thing I could have wished for was that the played boring songs during their breaks so I could have sat down and let my feet recover

Awesome Wedding Reception Band!

I hired the band, Velocity, for my daughter's wedding held at The Pfister. We wanted a band that could play funk, current, rock and roll, country and some oldies. They did just that and more! Velocity had the dance floor jammed packed all night and our guests had a blast. I upgraded to the "Ultimate Bundle Package" which provided lots of extras including cocktail hour music, an Emcee to announce the wedding party, toasts, and background music during the seated dinner. You get what you pay for, and Velocity is very affordable and worth every penny for a fun and memorable occasion.

Great band!

Our only disappointment was when we had to pack it in for the night. We weren't ready for it to end. Thanks for making the dreams of our special occasion a reality!

Easily the best money we spent on our wedding

Booking Velocity was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. They were very professional in their communications with us before the wedding and answered all of our questions. They even learned three new songs for us! We had a single musician for our ceremony, who played guitar, a trio for cocktail hour, and a 7-piece band with two singers (one male, one female) for our reception. The band was incredibly high energy, had a huge depth and breadth of musical choices, and required almost no direction from us to know what our guests would like to dance to. Having a male and female singer gave them a huge number of songs in their range and both of them are phenomenal singers. The band created a sound that absolutely filled the venue and made everyone feel like dancing! The dance floor was still completely full at midnight when we had to shut it down for the night, so we considered it a wild success! We would recommend them completely to any couple looking for live music at their wedding - worth every cent!

Made the Night!

Velocity MADE the wedding reception!!! 50 year old guys, who typically don't dance, were cutting the rug. Thank you for a memorable night!!! Julie Connor (Mother of Groom)

Best wedding band around

These guys are pros. Brought the house down. Very accommodating and everyone raves about them- we still get compliments on having a stellar band 6 months later.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
