This review is long overdue (newlywed life got the best of us), but it absolutely needed to be said. From our very first meeting with Paul, through our planning sessions, to the wedding weekend and the day itself, every single interaction with him was wonderful. He was responsive, easy to work with, and clearly cared about getting things right for us.

Paul helped us narrow down our ceremony selections, which made a big decision feel easy. Having AJ play guitar during the ceremony turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the day. More than one musician in our family came up to tell us what a GREAT guitarist he is, and then he absolutely ripped on the dance floor later that night. The whole band is incredibly talented, and they kept the energy high all evening.

Paul also handled sound coordination for the entire wedding day. He took full ownership of it, so it was never something we had to think about, which is exactly what you want on a day when there’s already so much going on.

We can’t thank you all enough. If you’re looking for a band for your wedding, the Golden Bells are the right choice.

Booking Golden Bell was hands-down one of our best wedding decisions! Marlon made every stage easy - planning, day-of setup, and above all the music itself, which was fantastic. The band's energy was amazing and our guests are still talking about it. Golden Bell was easy, fun, and flexible to work with & they provided an amazing experience - we can't recommend them enough!!

Marlon CRUSHED it!! He was so easy to work with and such an amazing part of our celebration. We were having a tough time deciding between a DJ and a band, and his DJ/musician setup ended up being the absolute perfect combination!

From going through our questionnaire, to talking through logistics, to the ceremony and reception itself, Marlon's organization, professionalism, calm energy, and most importantly, the FUN he brings were beyond anything we could have asked for. The dance floor was packed all night, and he did an amazing job managing the Hora, all of our special dances, and keeping the energy going throughout the night.

Anyone would be lucky to have Marlon be part of their wedding. We are SO grateful and truly couldn't recommend him more!!

We couldn't have asked for a better band and DJ for our wedding! From the start to the very last song of the night, everything was absolutely amazing. They kept the energy up, the dance floor was packed, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

They were incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They listened to what we wanted, kept the timeline flowing seamlessly, and made every special moment feel exactly the way we had envisioned.

The live music was beautiful, and our DJ, Gabe, did an incredible job reading the crowd and playing the perfect mix of songs to keep everyone dancing all night. If you're looking for entertainment that will make your wedding unforgettable, we can't recommend them enough. Thank you for helping make the best day of our lives so special!

I’m not even exaggerating when I say I cannot express how grateful I am to Jonathan and the Golden Bell team for their role in creating the greatest dance floor and wedding vibes I could ever have hoped for. Jonathan did an amazing job running the music for our ceremony with very little direction, his cocktail hour and open dancing playlists were on POINT, and basically every single one of our guests was on the dance floor the entire night. Live drumset and saxophone + 2000s bangers???? A DREAM. Book them right now. 100000/10 worth every penny.

Golden Bell was fantastic. The combination of DJ, saxophone, drums, and trombone brought incredible energy to our wedding and kept guests of all ages on the dance floor all night. They struck the perfect balance between incorporating our music requests and reading the crowd to keep the party going.

A special shoutout to Ricky, who was an outstanding MC. He kept everything on schedule, managed transitions seamlessly, and made the entire evening feel effortless. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainment team.

Stop your search right here, Golden Bell is what you're looking for. Marlon and the team absolutely brought the vibes and all of our guests won't stop talking about them. Before our wedding day, Marlon was super attentive, responsive, and overall fun to work with. He really went out of his way to ensure our entire day went exactly as we envisioned. The energy of the live band combined with the well-mixed playlist certainly kept people entertained the whole party, and the dance floor stayed packed the entire night. We can not think of one thing that Golden Bell could have done better. They have our highest recommendation.

Golden Bells was PHENOMENAL!

Marlon and the entire band absolutely crushed it at our wedding.

Not only is every musician insanely talented, but Marlon curated the night perfectly -- easing in with oldies to get our parents and older guests moving, then seamlessly shifting into the EDM, pop, and Bay Area rap we love. It felt like the soundtrack of us, and everyone could feel that.

One of the highlights of the night was when the band came onto the dance floor with drums, trumpet, guitar, and trombone -- and even let us drum in a bit. The energy was unbelievable.

And Hava Nagila with a full live band? Unreal. The band/DJ fusion setup made the entire reception feel elevated, unique, and unforgettable. They're truly a one-of-one.

We got so many compliments throughout the night and later about the music, the vibe, and the experience the band created. Everything ran smoothly -- from emceeing to sound to transitions -- and you can tell the quality of their equipment and professionalism is top-notch.

We can't thank Marlon and the Golden Bells team enough for making our wedding feel like a celebration we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend them!

Everything we wanted for our wedding performers - pushed the tempo, great music taste and accomodated our requests, the trio (two horns and drums) with the DJ was perfect

The Golden Bells played at our wedding this September at the Grand Island Mansion, and they were so incredible! I wish we could relive the night over and over. We had the DJ, sax, and trumpet trio and it was the perfect hybrid setup. The mix of live instruments with a DJ made for such a fun night with a mix of fun old school music and then dancey vibes as the night progressed.

Their playlist was perfectly curated and included all of our must-have songs. They even played a spontaneous birthday song for my brother turning 30 per my request (In Da Club x 50 cent) with the sax and it was so amazing. The dance floor was packed all night which was exactly what we wanted. Everyone is still talking about our wedding band and how the hybrid DJ-band vibe was the best thing they’ve ever seen at a wedding.

They completely exceeded our expectations and brought our night to life. I would also add that they are incredibly organized and communicative leading up to the big day which is key!

I can't thank them enough for the most amazing night.

*We had Andrew, Nico, and Natalie (:
