    Hire this band!!!

    We had an absolutely incredible experience with Around Town Entertainment. The Altitude Band was outstanding. All of our guests were raving--and dancing!!! The bandleader was extremely professional and friendly and all of the musicians were so talented. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the experience--it made the wedding!!!

    Fabulous Band

    Loved working with Adam!!! From start to finish, booking this band was the best decision. The guests had an absolute blast at the wedding. Dance floor was full all night. They even learned a song the night of the event for my husband. Highly recommend!!!!

    Best experience ever! Completely blown away

    We were completely blown away with how amazing Around Town Authority Band was. They took our music suggestions and kept the energy alive the entire night not only without breaks but also by impressively transitioning one song to another. Our guests literally had to pick up their jaws from the floor because they were so in awe of the band. There was a portion of our dance party where our guests all faced the band and cheered. They received a standing ovation and it was truly the best night, not only because we got married but also everyone kept talking about the band the entire night. We are impressed and will recommend this band to everyone. Best investment. Also, we have family that celebrates Jewish traditions such as the Horah and Latin traditions with Salsa music. We originally chose this band because they could sing in Spanish and do the Horah and pop music and oldies. They could do it all and I fall asleep thinking about how great the band was. 1000000 out of 10.

    Amazing experience with After Party Band!

    We could not have been happier that we hired the After Party Band for our wedding! Having good music at our reception was high on our priority list, and we spent a long time researching potential bands. While we saw many positive reviews of the After Party and Around Town Entertainment online, we weren’t able to find many recent videos of them performing but decided to hire them anyway for our summer Catskills wedding. We were absolutely blown away by After Party! One of the reasons we wanted to hire a band versus DJ was because of the energy live music brings, and it was important to us that our reception be upbeat. When providing the final info requested to ATE before our wedding, we asked that the band play minimal slow songs and also indicated some song preferences on their song list. We could not have been happier with After Party’s execution. Not only is each band member unbelievably talented, but they have incredible stage presence and an infectious energy that had people up out of their seats and dancing all night. The music they played really reflected what we were going for while also being organic. Numerous guests have said the band was the best they’ve seen at a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more! We can’t recommend the After Party Band enough!

    Around Town Entertainment knocked our socks off!

    Our wedding venue recommended Around Town Entertainment as a preferred vendor for live music--and we were not disappointed! Unlike other live music booking companies, Around Town is a cohesive group of 5 different bands, each of whom can be heard in live performance on the Around Town website. We went with the Authority Band, and they were just spectacular. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night and the energy and musical excitement were off the charts--so many guests commented that the band was "amazing" and they really made the party a smashing success. Working with the staff at Around Town in preparing for the event was easy and they were extremely accommodating to all we asked. The band leader and musicians were not only talented performers but very solicitous of the needs of the bride and groom during the event. Outstanding in every respect.

    Around Town - After Party Band

    We can’t thank Around Town enough for the AMAZING performance they put on for our wedding night. Everyone and we mean EVERYONE was dancing all night long. So many of our guests reached out to us after the wedding and said how incredible they were. Their voices were so powerful and they read the room so well. They brought the energy. My husband and I cried during dinner listening to the solo performance/guitarist. Unforgettable night thanks to our band! Adam and team was so responsive and professional.

    Best band ever!

    Best band ever! Highly recommend! We booked Around Town Band for our wedding that was this past weekend and it was the best decision we made. Adam is so helpful, professional, and funny. The band is so talented and kind! We LOVED them! The music was so amazing that they had the dance floor packed all night long. All of our guests kept asking how we found them and who they were! We can’t say enough wonderful things about them. Look no further, they’re the band for your event!

    Worth the hype!

    Music was high on our list of priorities for our wedding and Around Town was the best investment we could make! We booked super early because I wanted to make sure we got who we wanted in terms of availability and Adam (and team) were so organized and in contact with us throughout 1+ year of communication. Checkpoints were clear and they were always quickly able to answer any questions we had.

    Not to mention how amazing (and professional) everyone was day-of. We feel so lucky to stumble upon this talented group and can't recommend them enough. From the jazz trio during cocktail hour to the 7+ piece band for our reception they sure were worth every penny. We have a lifetime of memories dancing the night away and would do it all again if we could! Xo

    Top Tier Wedding Band!

    Working with Adam and The Around Town Band was the most stress-free part of my wedding - Around Town Entertainment was easy to communicate with and was always there to answer questions when needed. During my wedding, the band had the utmost professionalism and as a dream to work with; they had command of the stage and had everyone on the dance floor! Adam was a fabulous MC as well, he made clear introductions and transitions between wedding events and worked alongside myself and the event staff for a seamless, picture perfect event. I cannot recommend Around Town Entertainment enough!

    Absolutely incredible

    Music is one of, if not, the most important parts of a wedding. Around Town and Altitude Band absolutely made the night. They have the most extensive song list, learned new songs, and set the perfect party yet elegant tone for the wedding. Every guest was beyond impressed. Professional, kind, and incredibly talented. 100000/10 recommend.

    Around Town Band 10/29/2022

    We had Adam and the Around Town Band play at our wedding on 10/29/2022 and it’s hard to put into words just how incredible they were. From the moment we entered to the final song, the band played the perfect music in the perfect spots and kept everyone dancing the entire night. We had 175 guests and every single one of them went out of their way to tell us just how amazing they were-and were only 2 days removed. Truly made our night the best party- thank you Adam and the whole team. I talked you guys up to our friends and family for months leading up to the wedding and boy did you guys prove me right. Can’t recommend enough!

    You won't regret it!

    We had the Around Town Band play at our wedding and they were INCREDIBLE. We had numerous guests telling us it was one of the best bands they had ever heard. The whole room was up dancing from start to finish with an amazing selection of songs and high energy. Adam made the entire planning process a breeze from the very start. He was professional, organized, and very responsive to all our questions. You will absolutely not regret booking this band for your event!!

    Amazing amazing amazing

    The After Party band made my whole wedding absolutely amazing. The dance floor was packed for 4 hours straight. We told them our vibe in advance and they played all of the music to a T. There was not ONE BAD SONG. It was so perfect and everyone was coming up to us saying how amazing the band was 10000/10.

    A must hire!

    My husband and I booked this band two years prior to our wedding, during the pandemic. They were recommended by our venue and we booked based on their youtube videos – we had never seen them live. They exceeded beyond our expectations. Only booking based on videos did worry us but they are amazing! Adam was so great to work with leading up to our event, answered all our questions and responded so quickly. He introduced himself to us prior to the ceremony, we chatted and he instantly made us feel comfortable. Our guests and ourselves danced the whole night. We received so many compliments from our guests on how great they were. They are a must hire!

    9.24.2022 Spring Lake Bath and Tennis Club

    Around town entertainment was an absolute blast. Our band altitude knocked it out of the park. Could not have asked for a better band and company to work with. From the start their professionalism was outstanding. On our wedding day there were no seats filled. Everyone was on the dance floor from start to finish. Many business cards were taken by guests. Adding the trumpet and saxophone was clutch. Would do it all over again in a heart beat. Thank you!

They brought incredible energy to our big day and listened to all our requests to make the music feel personal. THANK YOU for bringing the FUN to our wedding- we couldn't be happier!

    Around Town Entertainment is Incredible!

    From the moment we reached out to Around Town Entertainment through booking and the day of our wedding, it was a total pleasure to work with Adam and the team. They're responsive, proactive and extremely talented! We will be recommending them to every couple we know as they made our wedding day truly unforgettable. They made sure to learn/play every song we requested and dare I say performed them better than the originals? Our guests absolutely LOVED the music at our wedding and are still reaching out to let us know this. If anyone is looking for a band for their wedding, the search should stop here!

    The 12-piece band was fantastic

    Adam, please thank every member of the Around Town band that performed for my party on August 20, 2022! They were absolutely incredible!! It was not easy coordinating with our DJ and the myriad of entertainers we scheduled throughout the evening. However, the band delivered a seamless, once in a lifetime experience for my guests! Each vocalist was awesome and I especially appreciated the effort that was made to sing “James Bond” theme songs as requested. The performers really put their hearts into their performances and blew everyone away. A relative of mine conducts orchestras and said the musicians were “spot on” with their instruments. Wow!!!

    They're SO great

    We just got married and Around Town was fantastic. They had everyone constantly dancing and we've received dozens of compliments since. Not only are they truly so talented, they also nailed the custom song requests. Adam was very personable and easy to work with; in fact we basically chose the band because that first phone call went so well, we felt certain they would be great. 100% recommend, they will make your night that much better!

    Simply incredible- made for the most fun wedding!

    The Altitude Band put on the most incredible performance for our wedding on August 6. There aren’t words to describe how they took our party to a level beyond our wildest dreams and made it the most fun wedding we’ve ever attended (we may be biased) but a large number of guests who said it was the best band and dance floor they’ve ever seen. I could go on and on. The vocalists were INCREDIBLE. Their range and energy was amazing. And all of the instrumentalists were on point the entire night. People could not stop raving about the band all night and all the next day. The band leader said they gave out so many business cards and deservedly so! People were even out dancing before we were introduced, which our wedding planner said she had never seen at a wedding. They even accommodated a special guest performance during the evening and worked with our wedding planner to build it into the timeline and work out the technical elements. We also wanted to thank the band for sticking to the vibe and type of songs we requested, which was pretty specific. There was not a single song in the entire reception that was off the mark. People have RAVED about the playlist. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and the band never missed a step. We truly appreciate their willingness to play to that vision and hope the band enjoyed playing those songs all night! Finding Around Town and the Altitude Band was an unbelievably fortunate part of our whole planning process. It made our reception the party of our dreams. They are incredibly responsive and easy to work with (which makes a huge difference, especially if you are doing most of the planning for your wedding!). We can't recommend them enough.

    Fantastic, hire them!

    We had the Around Town Band. Owner Adam and his team were fantastic from pre-booking until the end. With the exception of dinner (keyboard only), the band played nonstop for our entire reception, and even stayed a little extra as our guests chanted, "One more song!" The singers were unbelievable and the band was tight. They even learned a few extra songs that we requested. Some sounded like they had played them for years, and the others were still fun and we appreciated them learning the songs for us! While a band is expensive, Around Town was very fairly priced compared to other bands we looked at that we felt were nowhere near as good. Watch the videos on their website. Our guests continue to tell us how much they loved our band, and we thank Adam and the band for putting on an unbelievable performance!

    Around Town Band made the night!

    Around Town Band was absolutely incredible. Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. Many guests even asked us where we found this band and noted how amazing they were. Adam helped manage the timeline of the reception which was so wonderful. Additionally, part of our package was a pianist for our ceremony, and a jazz trio for our cocktail hour. This made the event from start to finish a great experience. They prepared our special request songs, even one that we asked for late in the game. The music made the night SO amazing. For us, a GREAT live band was such an important part of the night- and we definitely splurged for it- but it was 1000x worth it. We're so thankful to Adam and the Around Town Band for MAKING our wedding magical!

    They are the best wedding band I have ever heard! Tons of guests said this. Star quality, in fact we had a star in attendance who sang two songs with them and he was so impressed that he also took their card. Dance floor was packed the entire time. High quality, fun, reliable. Use this band if you want the best party ever.

    The best band!

    We just had a 60th birthday party. We were fortunate enough to hire them. Omg they are the best! Everyone danced the whole time. The music is all consuming. It lifted everyone up and made the party. We are having a wedding this September. We can’t wait and our confident we have the best!!
    Happy dancing.
