If you want to guarantee your wedding to be a success, book One Love. Shortly after my wife and I were engaged we saw One Love at a friend’s wedding and they absolutely killed it - we knew we had to book them for our wedding. One Love has a huge repertoire and will craft you a great set based on your preferences. Keep in mind that One Love will not have a rigid set list and will instead play to the crowd. They are seasoned professionals and may push back on ideas you have because they know what’s going to keep the crowd engaged. If you’re looking for a band that’s going to play exactly what you think you want, they may not be for you, but if you want a band that’s going to keep your guests dancing all night then One Love will deliver. They may not have played every song we thought they would play at our wedding but some of the songs we didn’t expect were some of the biggest crowd pleasers! One Love will work with you on custom requests but always want to make sure they keep the party going. They were able to make beautiful recordings for our ceremony songs when we had concerns about weather and they did an awesome arrangement of Shine on You Crazy Diamond for one of our dances - cutting it down from 20+ minutes to a jam-packed 3. They even learned a song so I could perform with them which will be a moment I’ll never forget! Most importantly we had so many guests raving about the band - every song was on point and kept the energy going (they even take breaks in shifts so there is never a lapse in music). Hiring a band for your wedding is a big investment but if you have the means there’s not much else that will have such a big impact on the party. One Love delivered and everyone had an unforgettable experience!

If you want an awesome celebratory experience then The Joel Young Band is the band for you. They were absolutely amazing! Having had the opportunity to hear them twice before, I didn't hesitate to hire them for my wedding. They were amazing with weaving various decades of music for everyone in attendance. Everyone felt included and the dance floor was always packed. They were extremely professional, and open to listening to any suggestions we had. Throughout the night, they constantly checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. On a night that you're worried about what could go wrong, you never had to worry about these guys. They performed like a well oiled machine and blew the roof off the building. I hope I get to hear these guys again soon.

I can’t speak highly enough of TI Fusion. My wedding was literally a concert and we were blown away by their talent. Every single artist in the band is insanely good. Every single guest told us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever experienced. Our dance floor was packed all night long and they really elevated the vibes by coming out on the dance floor and having us on stage with them. Jon is my former guitar instructor and it was so cool to get to work with him and have him MC and play guitar at our wedding. He did an awesome job coordinating the details, like all of our first dance song choices, and making note of the couple of songs we really wanted to hear. He explained that they don’t use a set list but rather they read/feel out the crowd and make song choices in the moment. They absolutely crushed it. Every new song that played was better than the last. We also had 2 artists from the band play at our brunch the next day and again, just amazing. I will simply never get over how insanely good they were. You should absolutely book them for your wedding!

As the event planning team for an October 2026 wedding at the University Club in NYC, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Around Town Entertainment, and they were flawless! The band read the room all night, kept the volume comfortable for our older guests, and the MC-ing was understated — exactly as the couple requested. Rachel and Adam were simply wonderful — responsive, incredibly organized, and such a joy to work with from planning through the day itself. They made our job easy from start to finish! We cannot recommend them enough, and we're already looking forward to the next celebration we get to create together!

45 Riots is truly the best! They performed at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and we loved every second. They took the time to understand our music preferences and curated the perfect setlist, keeping the dance floor packed and the energy high all night long. We had countless guests come up to us throughout the night, and even after the wedding, telling us, “That was the best wedding band we’ve ever heard!” We couldn’t agree more. Thank you, 45 Riots, for making our wedding so special and giving us a night we’ll never forget!

This is the best wedding band on the planet. Working with them from start to finish was a pure delight. They were so easy to work with and happy to accommodate some of the more eccentric requests my wife and I made. It really felt like they were having as much fun as all the guests. They have an exhaustive library and can play anything from rock, to rap, to pop, to oldies, to slow stuff, and more. They had the entire dance floor rocking from start to finish. I’ve never attended a wedding where so many folks from 8 to 80 were dancing the entire time. If you’re looking for a band, you can stop looking. This group is the only answer.

Beginning with the musicians, the GYE band is an incredibly talented group of musicians and performers that really solidified a fantastic wedding night. If you’re looking for a band over a DJ we cannot recommend them enough. They have a small performance that didn’t take away from the bride and kept our entire wedding of 220+ people on the dance floor the entire night (young and old). Their supporting staff is fantastic as well. Extremely responsive and dedicated to shaping the night around us. They were very flexible with meetings based on our schedules and their portal was a fun date night of music and a bottle of wine that we will look back on as one of the easier wedding days plans we had to navigate. We had an 11 piece band with a brass section and it was 100% worth it! Cannot recommend them highly enough! I think at least 10 of our guests asked for their information for their next events!

My wife and I joke hiring Sugar Park is the best decision we ever made, other than (maybe) marrying each other, and our guests agreed. By far the most talented wedding band we've ever experienced, packing the dance floor all night and always keeping the vibes and energy high. Beyond that, they were incredibly professional and organized throughout the entire experience, always responding to emails and special requests promptly. We cannot recommend them enough!

We hired Sound Society after seeing them perform at a showcase, and they truly made our wedding. The band is so incredibly talented and they brought tremendous energy to our wedding. Many of our guests commented that they were the best wedding band they'd ever seen, and still to this day talk about how great the band was at our wedding.

Our band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were incredibly talented, the sound quality was outstanding, and they kept the dance floor energized all night. They played a great mix of classic wedding songs spanning multiple generations, and the Hora was unforgettable. They were also perfectly on cue for our first dance. Joel even handed us the microphone a few times on the dance floor so we could sing along, which made for some fun moments. About a month before the wedding, we met with Joel to review our timeline, music preferences, and special requests. He was always quick to respond, easy to work with, and made us feel confident that every detail was covered. On the wedding day, everything went exactly as planned. Names were announced correctly, the right people were called up for speeches, our song requests were played, and our do-not-play list was respected. The band was professional, organized, and reliable from the moment guests started arriving until the “Last Dance.” Their pricing was reasonable for the level of talent and service they provided. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-energy wedding band. They helped create a night we'll never forget.
