    Hire This Band!

    We hired Crab Shack for our wedding and could not be happier we chose them! They are a very talented band and kept everyone dancing all night - our guests loved them. Not only did they have a great setlist from the beginning, but they were willing to learn new songs for us too. They were a pleasure to work with and were genuinely excited to play at our wedding. I feel it's also important to mention that they are a great price. Some bands/DJs will overcharge for weddings but Crab Shack was twice the value of all those other bands you see on The Knot or Wedding Wire.

    Seriously, they're the best and you should book them if you can!

    The Crab Shack Band's reply:

    Thank you Erin!!! All of us in the band had such great time with you and your guests! It was so much fun to plan with you as well. Thank you again! - Chris

    Bringing the party to our wedding reception!

    Crabshack performed for our wedding in July 2022, and we couldn't have been happier! We were looking for a band with a good vibe, that could rock and roll but also keep it light/fun for a lot of dancing. They struck the perfect balance and really were everything we were looking for. Their setlist was a huge hit (still getting compliments from the guests!) and all of our guests were dancing and having a great time until the very last minute. We worked with Chris to arrange everything, and he was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with as well. If we had to do it again, we'd 100% choose Crabshack again. Our only complaint - that eventually it had to end! Thanks again Chris and everyone for making our wedding reception so much fun.

    The Crab Shack Band's reply:

    Thank you Matt! It was such An amazing wedding. We all loved being part of it. Sooo much fun! Thank you again! - Chris Avery

    So Talented!

    Highly recommend this band! We hired them to play at our wedding reception and they were amazing to work with! They played great songs, sounded amazing and even learned two new songs we requested. Our guests really enjoyed them and so did we!

    We have to Tell you this was a great band and the folks were so happy to be there to play for us and celebrate our special day. They did the little things like...Recording the speeches given by our children, kept in constant communication throughout the night and even put up with the little kids running around (with a smile on their faces). Couldn't ask for a better representation of what a band should do at our wedding! Great Job

    The Crab Shack Band is so amazing! Everyone in the band is extremely talented, the female vocalist is a powerhouse!
    They are very accommodating when it comes to the music, they already have a great set list but are more than happy to learn anything you would like to hear! They definitely know how to get a crowd engaged and dance and they have a lot of fun doing it. I would highly recommend The Crab Shack Band to anyone!!

    WOW just WOW! The Crab Shack Band is amazing! We LOVED working with them from the beginning and then they truly made our wedding a special and incredibly fun event! Chris was wonderful to work with, very professional and an overall nice guy (as is everyone in the band). Their music is FANTASTIC! Amazing set list that all generations can enjoy and REALLY REALLY GREAT sound! Two female vocalist is awesome and they kill it, but the rest of the band is just as good, great drums and guitars (for example music fans out there- Eric can actually play really well the guitar solo in sweet child of mine what!? never expected that!). Everyone at our wedding couldn't stop raving about the band! The music was great but they were also very interactive with our guests, kept everyone dancing and even let our musician friends get up on stage and play with them! I really can't recommend Crab Shack Band enough! They are a hidden gem that will inevitably be found out and booked every weekend. I would absolutely hire them again!!! Thanks Chris and the Crab Shack Band you guys were an EXCELLENT addition to our wedding!!

    The music makes the wedding. I believe this strongly. If you pick the wrong band, the tone of the night is lost and your guests are left wanting more. The Crab Shack Band BRINGS the music. They ARE the party. Their mix of songs and energetic front vocalists backed by tight timing and smooth transitions keeps the party moving.

    They are professional. On time. Dependable. They look great. They sound even better.
    My guests are still talking about them.

    Hire this band.
    They rock.

    The Crab Shack Band comes highly recommended. Our live music night was a great success, and our members can’t wait to have them back at the club. Their variety of music, and the bands ability to read the crowd was outstanding. Although we weren’t fully prepared for a big dancing crowd, no one could resist getting up on their feet. The Crab Shack Band was a pleasure to work with and was in tune to what we envisioned for our event, making it a memorable evening

    Its good to know there are quality acts out there like this band; a solid combination of talented musicians and engaging showmanship. The ladies belt out strong vocals when necessary and smoothly transition into caressing love songs without a hitch; the boys playing behind them flawlessly ebb and flow the melodies superbly. Obviously a fun loving troupe who work so well together. Looking forward to the next opportunity I get to see them perform.

    Crab Shack is a wonderful band! Your guests will love dancing the night away to every song they play. They have amazing energy and a fabulous variety of music. They are very professional and the cost for their service is so reasonable!

    The Crab Shack was so much fun! They learned a bunch of new songs for our ceremony, and it was beautiful. You can tell that they are really comfortable with weddings. Then, when the dancing began, they had everyone up on the floor and having a great time. Not too loud, just right. They even help out the wedding planner with emergency changes to the room setup. These guys are great!

    Great rock style band that learned all of our first and final dances. Chris gave great ideas on how the layout of the reception could work and keep the evening moving. Traveled outside their normal area for our wedding at a summer camp! The entire band was very sweet and seemed to really enjoy the wedding, too.

    What a night! We narrowed it down to 3 band but picked the Crab Shack due to their flexibility and variety. Perfect momentum, worked the intensity at the right pace and had an overall natural ability to keep the dance floor packed. Which was great for us as they danced more, drank less!
