Highlight of our wedding!!!

Vybe blew us away! We were considering booking Dart because of their strong recommendation from our planner however their high prices made us hesitate. We wanted a local band, found Vybe, and went to see them live in Oakland before booking them. What we loved so much about them is that they felt like real musicians, jamming and playing great music instead of a "wedding band" phoning it in as it sadly can feel like at times. We booked Vybe and immediately they became one of our most detailed, responsive, thoughtful, and professional vendors. But the day of the wedding was where they SHINED. They brought such energy, joy, and incredible music to our wedding. I cannot thank the band enough. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They are GIFTED musicians, true professionals, and an incredible deal. I can't recommend them more highly!!

Best Decision!

We are so grateful to have had Vybe Society play at our wedding. Catherine was so help with curating the soulful band we had envisioned for our wedding. We love oldies music and that was such an incredible addition to our wedding reception at Viansa Winery. This company will curate your band needs down to every detail you are looking for from style, aesthetic and culture.

Even now, family and friends are still talking about how great the band was and how much they enjoyed it during our wedding reception. On top of their talent, this company was extremely professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process, which made everything stress-free for us.

We highly recommend Vybe Society to anyone looking to elevate their wedding or event with unforgettable live music to your liking.

Thank you again!!

Great Bay Area Wedding Band

Vybe Society was amazing and brought great energy to our wedding! Catherine was very flexible during the planning process, helping us understand the options, and working with our venue to ensure they could support the full 10-piece band. One of our priorities for the wedding was great music and an active dance floor and Vybe Society kept the energy up the entire night! They also worked in a few special request songs into both the reception set list and ceremony backdrop. We had dozens of people tell us after the wedding that the band was amazing and a highlight of the night - we’d recommend them for any event!

The actual best

I think all 125 people at our wedding made a point to tell us how great the band was. A good band was at the top of our list and Vybe society WELL EXCEEDED our expectations. Seriously they were SO good! They know so many songs and are open to learning songs you request if they don't already know it. They also have such a fun vibe (no pun intended) about them. The whole group was just so much fun to have at the wedding. If you're on the fence, definitely book them!!!

City of Mountain View Summer Concert Series

Energetic and Professional

We had the absolute pleasure of having Vybe Society play at our wedding held at the stunning Olympias Valley Estate in Petaluma, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! From the moment we booked them—shortly after securing our venue—thanks to my husband’s strong desire for a live band and the numerous glowing reviews we’d read.

Working with Cathrine was an absolute joy. She was professional, communicative, and made the whole process incredibly smooth and stress-free. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch.

One of the most memorable moments was when Vybe Society played our first dance song live, with my sister-in-law beautifully singing along. It was such a heartfelt and unique touch that made the moment even more magical.

Throughout the event, Vybe Society kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, complimenting the band’s talent and vibe all night long.

We would love to host another event just so we can have Vybe Society perform again. If you’re looking for a band that brings incredible energy, professionalism, and unforgettable music, look no further!

Incredibly talented and fun wedding band!

We are such huge fans of Vybe Society! We've seen their shows around the Bay Area and knew they'd be the perfect band for our wedding. We specifically requested Danielle as our female vocalist because she crushed "Crazy in Love" which we opened the dance floor with, but truly every musician in the band is extremely talented. We and our guests were on the dance floor all night long. We had people coming up to us at the end up the night and the next day telling us how this is the best wedding band they've seen. We're so happy we had Vybe Society play at our wedding! You will not regret booking them!

Highly recommended

I am a wedding planner who had the pleasure of working with the Vybe Society Team. They were great to work with during the planning process; professional, quick with responses and helpful with suggestions. The band was AMAZING, everyone at the event was dancing and talking about how great the music was. The talent of the musicians was beyond what I expected.

The best wedding band!

Vybe Society played at our July wedding in Monterey and we couldn't have asked for anything more! They were easy to work with and great at what they do. We hired them to play the reception, but they were also helpful with the ceremony and cocktail hour playlist set-up. Their talent and energy got people on the dance floor and kept them there all night! They also generously let some of our relatives sit in on a couple of songs. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend others do the same.

Perfect name for the perfect vybes!

We hired Vybe Society Jazz trio for our cocktail hour and loved it! They truly brought the perfect VIBE we were looking for when our guests walked through our venue to discover the rest of the evening.
