Blue Wave was the heart and soul of our wedding celebration! From the first song to the last dance, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Their talent, versatility, and ability to read the crowd made for an unforgettable night. Every song was performed with incredible musicianship and passion, and they seamlessly blended classics with modern hits to keep guests of all ages entertained. Beyond their amazing sound, they were also professional, easy to work with, and truly invested in making our wedding special. Our MC kept the evening running smoothly and effortlessly. They genuinely seemed to enjoy being there and were really lovely in engaging with our guests (like playing a special David Bowie request from our flower girl). If you want a wedding band that will leave your guests raving, Blue Wave is the one. We also used them for videography and were really pleased with the results as well!

Best possible band we could've hired for our wedding! Chervona absolutely killed it with their high energy performance, and they were also a total pleasure to work with. It is the perfect music for folks of all ages to dance to, and a great option if you're looking for something that's not the typical wedding band. Our guests totally loved them, and so did we!!

Making arrangements with the band couldn’t have been easier. Their song choices were the perfect for the vibe of our party. All the band members are so much fun to watch! Incredible chemistry, totally animated, very talented. Everyone loved them!

We took a leap and hired a band for our wedding! These guys really made our wedding day so special. We found them through the Thumbtack search engine, and they responded very quickly. We got to check them out at a local pub over the winter and we were sold on hiring them as soon as they started to play. During the planning process they were incredibly responsive, friendly and supportive of our ideas and decisions. On our wedding day, they were able to provided a a microphone for our ceremony, and played music live for the processional and recessional, as well as manage special requests for our first dance and parent dances. They had fun, played well, and our guests were blown away by their talent. Whats even better, is that they are a real band, with real gigs, so we will get to go see them jam live again and again, not just hear them once for a special treat on our wedding day. My husband and I definitely recommend hiring Hans and The Wanted for your special event!

We were so blown away by the level of professionalism and the incredible performance/mc by Kansas City Rhythm Kings!!! We hired them as a 6 piece arrangement for swing/jazz and could not be happier. They were all dressed up in matching suits and had title boards in front of them (so you didn't have to see all the cords and set up, etc) which we were pleasantly surprised! They played all of our requests and more! The band leader, Brad, and their manager, Sue, were especially great in communication and organization - I didn't have to worry about a thing! Brad even showed up EARLY to scope out the location and make sure everything was smooth in set-up. The one thing, is they played the wrong song for our first dance. It was supposed to be The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra but they instead played Come Fly With Me. I think it was just a glitch but it ended up working out since my husband and were very fast/upbeat (and terrible) dancers LOL! All in all, we had a spectacular night, our guests were in awe, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I could.

These guys are incredible- I've never heard 2 guys make so much noise! :) If you want a boot stomping wedding, they are for you!

DJ Zimmie is incredible! I wanted to make sure there was enough of a mix of songs that both the younger and the older people would be able to dance to and he nailed it. He knows exactly how to read a crowd and make sure there’s always the right amount of energy on the dance floor. Countless people have told me how amazing he was that night and how they couldn’t take a break from the dancing because every song that came on was better than the last. I wanted a serious dance party for our wedding and we got it! My only regret is we can’t throw a party like that every weekend!

The Pressure Point band was wonderful. They were professional to work with, quick response time, and were very flexible when we had to reschedule our pandemic wedding. Many guests approached us saying "we've never been to a wedding where the dance floor is full the entire night!!" And we completely agree! The band was so fun, played music that kept everyone out there, and they helped DJ the entire event. They played music during cocktail hour, introduced our wedding party and my husband and I, set us up with a microphone for speeches, and DJ'd our first dance songs. They really gave us the party and wedding of our dreams! So many thanks and compliments to the Pressure Point Band!!

I can't say enough good things about this band. Their music is upbeat and fun and BEAUTIFUL! Inca Jam uses a whole variety of unique percussion instruments that make their performance both really fun to dance to and really fun to watch. They did a great job engaging all our guests--whether leading us in a group dance or inviting several children up on stage to perform with the band. Even though many of our guests weren't familiar with Latin dance music, the dance floor was never empty. So many of our guests made a point to tell us how much they enjoyed the band. They were really accommodating and easy to work with. Any couple would be lucky to have Inca Jam play at their wedding!

This band made our wedding unforgettable! Super responsive, easy to work with, and total pros. The music? Absolutely killer. One guest nailed it: “These guys are tight, they really make this whole wedding much classier.” If you want amazing tunes and zero stress, book them!
