Full Dance-floor All Night!
Ben was so easy to work with, he made planning our big day seem so simple and everything we requested he made happen. Nothing we asked was ever too much of an ask for Ben. His whole band was so nice once we were able to talk with them at the end of the night. They put on an amazing show, so much that I had multiple guests ask for their business cards! They kept the dance floor full the entire night. I would recommend Big City Horns for any event and would book them again! -

Ben and his band is absolutely top notch. My lovely Wife convinced me to hire them to play at our wedding and it was the best decision we made. The dance floor was ON FIRE for hours and hours and not once was there ever a lull. My aunt actually made a comment about how versatile they are in terms of music and then realized she was listening to the DJ portion of the night. THAT is how good these guys are. If you have the chance to hire them for your event, just do it. I promise, you will not regret it. -

They told us that their job was to keep the dance floor full the whole night….which they did! We had so many comments from guests about the quality and “dance ability” of the music…and this is from a family of professional musicians. Ben Baia was easy to work with and very responsive, helpful and flexible through the whole process. We can’t say enough about how great they were! -

We hired Big City Horns for our wedding August 2022. Ben was the absolute best vendor to work with. We had a lot of issues leading up to our wedding pertaining to my venue, but Ben was always there to be flexible, make changes, and reassure me that our day will be everything we imagine it. This was a huge relief for me. Ben made it simple to plan out our music options, really gave honest, helpful opinions based on his experience, and made sure everything was ironed out before the big day. He has a fantastic personality and was super easy to work with. The day of the wedding, we met the rest of the band! They were full of energy, smiles, and sounded amazing! Ben and his band add their own twist to a lot of the music, and are willing to learn songs that may not be on their list. I had so many of my guests raving about the band and asking for their cards by the end of the night. Ben and Big City Horns was a perfect fit for our wedding!Big City Horns's reply:
Marissa, Thanks so much for your thoughtful review.. We really enjoyed working with you and the party was an absolute success from start to finish! All the best to you and James!! Ben -

Big City Horns is amazing! Not only was the dance floor packed for the entire set, but Ben was super helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process. Our guests cant stop talking about how great the band was! It was definitely one of the highlights for us and they were even able to play Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton for our first dance! -

Fantastic!
Big City Horns really set the tone and the pace for our reception. One of my favorite moments of the entire day was when the shout the song literally came to life on the dance floor… Such an epic experience… It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it- it felt like we were in New Orleans.
Can’t wait to watch our wedding video and relive these moments! -

Looking for an awesome dance band with a large selection of music? Big City Horns is it! Ben made our event extra special by curating a great playlist. The Horns were terrific and the singers were spot on! Ben went above and beyond to get the timeline, pronunciations and all the details just right. Highly recommend! -

BigCity Horns was more then music at our wedding it was a performance. Everyone loved the horns section and how the band got the crowd into the wedding. I don't think there was one person in their seat while they were playing! -

Big City Horns! What can I say ... they know how to throw a party!
Lead singer and MC Ben Baia was extremely professional throughout the whole wedding planning process, especially when we had to change dates due to COVID. He was the perfect MC for the wedding and the band was absolutely fantastic the entire night! From start to finish, everyone was on the dance floor, thanks to Big City Horns!
For the Father/Daughter dance, my dad wanted to surprise me with our song. So he coordinated with Ben, and the way it turned out was so cool. It was a mash-up of Isn't She Lovely by Steve Wonder and Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses. It was awesome!! We got our slow dance, which is every girl dreams of, but then we came out swinging with air guitars!! ... Another favorite part of the night was when the horns came out on the dance floor and played in the middle of our guests ! It was so much fun!
Again, if you want your wedding guests on the dance floor from start to finish, Big City Horns is your band! Thank you Ben and Big City Horns!!!Big City Horns's reply:
Cassie & Frank, Thank you so much for this review! Your wedding party was an absolute blast and a joy for us to perform with all your family and friends at the Admirals Room. So glad that we were able to part of your special day. Absolutely beautiful! All the best to you both and stay in touch!, Ben -

I was so exited to hire Ben and the entire band for our wedding. My sister had Big City Horns at her wedding 15 years ago and the band did not disappoint either time! We had a blast and would definitely recommend them to any friends or family getting married. -

Lisa B. Sent on 08/03/2020Big City Horns were off the charts
We couldn’t be happier with our experience hiring Big City Horns for our special day. Ben and Maria customized their set to incorporate music that fit our taste and catered to our guests. They knew all of the right questions to ask us to make sure they had a solid game plan from start to finish. We loved that the short break included a live DJ set. We believe we got amazing value for the price. Guests kept telling us that they enjoyed the show the put on just as much as their music. Our dance floor was packed every single song. -

Big City Horns knows how to put on a show! We were so thrilled that we were able to work with them for our wedding.
Their process was very tuned to what we (the bride and groom) wanted for our wedding. A few months prior to our wedding date, they asked us to put together a list of songs/music that we liked.
They have a list of songs that they have played before on their website, so we used that and pulled in a few of our own that we would like to hear. We were able to establish what our tastes in music were which guided them to put together a set list that they would play.
There was a few songs that we really liked that they hadn't played before - they were able to find arrangements of the songs and get familiar with them before our wedding!
All of our guests could not stop raving about Big City Horns after the wedding (in fact they are still raving about how awesome they are!). They are absolutely one of the best if not the best band to book for weddings in upstate NY.
