wedding band is awesome
Backbeat was a fantastic choice for our wedding. from the start the band and John were responsive, respectful and accommodating. They listened and collaborated with us to make the night special and extremely fun. The Band is great! the music was fun and had everyone dancing the entire time! we also had them do music during the dinner which was very romantic and a great touch. They are the perfect band - very talented, affordable, fun, accommodating, and followed through on everything! I can't recommend them enough! what a great party -

Best group ever!!
John and his band are amazing!! I have used them for private home parties, other parties at venues and also for family weddings. His pricing is very reasonable in comparison to other groups. I HIGHLY recommend him!! -

Absolutely amazing!
If you are looking for a live wedding band for your big day, Backbeat is absolutely the way to go! From the minute they were hired, we were treated as though they had no other clients.....which we knew was not true! They were always available to answer questions, provide input, and work with us to make our musical dreams a reality. Planning a wedding is stressful, but they made planning the music a breeze! From providing background music during dinner service, to playing our song for our first dance, their professionalism and musical talent was clearly evident. Throughout the evening, they provided a fun and inclusive atmosphere that kept our guests on the dance floor having a great time. I can confidently say our wedding would not have been as much fun without them. We were so impressed with them that we have hired them to play at other events as well. I have no hesitations in recommending them, I know you will not be disappointed. -

The BEST band!!!!
Backbeat played for our wedding. All of our guests loved the band. They played music for young and old. The dance floor was packed all evening. We would HIGHLY recommend this FABULOUS group for your wedding or event. There’s nothing like live music from a very talented group of local musicians. Thanks again for making our reception everything we dreamed of! 💗 -

Best band EVER!
Backbeat was one of the best parts of our wedding experience! From the excitement we all shared when we initially asked them to play, the kindness they showed the days prior and the day of, the support of all of our decisions, all of the preparation that I know went into the performance, and - most importantly for us -the pure joy they exuded during the entire reception that was contagious. We couldn’t have been happier.
We chose a somewhat untraditional song for our first dance, and they were more than willing and excited to play it. It’s a memory we surely will never forget! They did a beautiful job and truly played the best playlist. Our wedding was the week before Christmas, and countless guests that attended have since told us that Backbeat created the warmest and happiest environment, and we could not agree more.-

Excellent party band
I have known of this band for quite some time. Played at both my kids' weddings. Everybody loved them both times. Way better than a DJ and they keep up with the times. All professional musicians so they are extremely talented, easy to work with, and sound exceptional. You won't be disappointed having Backbeat play for your party of any kind, especially weddings. -

Backbeat NEVER disappoints!
I have hired Backbeat for several events over the years, from weddings and large fundraisers, to small, intimate gatherings. They never disappoint! Their repertoire offers a variety of genres to choose from. Professional, accommodating, engaging when appropriate...I can't think of any reason NOT to hire Backbeat! -

Wedding. Mr Reese is one of the best if not THE best bandleader and musician. He knows how to make your event fun and memorable.
This band is exceptional! They play all genres of music to please every age group at your event. Their experience will make your event successful because they know how to keep the crowd interested and participating. If you just want soft cocktail/background music, they can provide it!
Each band member is extremely talented with much experience. Cleveland and Pittsburgh bands will charge you almost twice the cost of this band. -

Best part of our reception!
Backbeat band played for a wedding I attended in 2003. They were so memorable I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding one day. Lo and behold, almost 20 years later, they’re still performing and bringing a great experience to receptions for couples looking for more than DJ playlists and modern music. Our guests still comment on the variety of music, the voice of the female lead, and the nice break from current music to music everyone, including kids, can dance to! -

Wedding band
Backbeat was absolutely amazing at our wedding. They really got all of the guests up and on the dance floor. Everyone seemed to have a blast because of the band. The songs they played were amazing and each band member was outstanding. The band vibe was just so classy. I’m so happy we chose Backbeat to play on our special day! -

I first heard of John Reese and Backbeat from a friend's recommendation for them to play at my daughter's wedding. We then went to The Lake Club to hear them and thought they were great! Backbeat provided class, fun, and wonderful music for our wedding reception at Stambaugh Auditorium. John was very helpful with suggestions of different types of music and also very accommodating during the reception to impromptu vocal 'performances' from our guests to make the evening both memorable and fun! Music is key at a wedding reception! You want Backbeat! -

Backbeat is THE Band to have at your wedding! The whole band was easy to work with in preparation for the big day and then when they played at the reception it more than met our expectations. Everyone was out on the dance floor! We highly recommend Backbeat to everyone for every occasion. -
