    Beyond expectations! Thank you Connexion Band!

    Can we give Connexion Band more than 5 stars?! Ray and this band of seasoned, talented singers and musicians who have been together for years provided the best music and dance experience! We hoped for a packed Dance floor at our daughter’s wedding and Connexion delivered performances that kept the dance floor full of dancing, singing, pure joy! They learned a special song for us, they honored our requested songs and they performed songs that fit the vibe! They say they perform songs “note for note” and it’s true! Ray mc’d when needed and was so easygoing to work with throughout the year of planning! Hire this band if you want to dance all night, even longer because yes, the guests chanted “one more song” and they played an encore! At a wedding reception! That was a first for us to experience! We are still hearing from our guests… “A-plus”, “the band kept everyone involved”, “it was like a concert”, “they know so many songs”, “is that the new Dua Lipa song”, “so many amazing singers”. I have never felt so strongly about a review….Connexion Band is 5 star plus! Thank you.

    Fantastic!

    The Connexion Band will absolutely make your event the talk of the town!

    We had seen them perform a few times at a fundraiser dinner, so we knew they were good, and therefore had high expectations for them going into our wedding day…they blew through those expectations and made our wedding day absolutely perfect! From the moment we began working with Ray, Connexion was completely focused on making our reception memorable and personalized! The dance floor was so packed, we asked them to play an additional 30 minutes past their set list. Ray, and the entire band, were flexible with every request we had for them (including traveling from Chicago to Columbus), and made planning our reception so easy.

    You and your guests will not be disappointed if you book the Connexion Band for your event!

    Must Hire Band! AMAZING all around.

    We hired Connexion Band for our wedding a few weeks ago in December '22. They were AMAZING! Our guests never left the dance floor. We keep getting compliments weeks after about how great our band was. Everyone told us how FUN the wedding was... I know that was due to Connexion. I had never been to a wedding where the guests chanted "encore" but Connexion was just THAT good.

    Connexion band ROCKS

    This is the absolute best band for your wedding. They are professionals in every sense of the word, and I could not recommend them enough. Our wedding guests are still talking about them. Their music, personality, professionalism, sound system, etc. was all perfect. A++

    Hire This Band!

    This band is absolutely amazing! We hired them for our wedding and it was definitely one of (if not) the best decisions we made. Not only are the musicians phenomenal, but Ray is awesome to work with. He is extremely responsive and professional, he let us preview the band before we hired them and we got to watch how he monitors the crowd to determine which songs the band will play next to keep people on the dance floor. We also got to select all of the songs we wanted to hear, which was great to make sure the music fit our style. Our guests actually loved them so much they were asking Ray for their business card and still tell us today how great the music was and how it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. I would highly recommend and use them again, this band truly made our wedding something to remember!

    Kept The Dance Floor Packed!

    Connexion Band brought the party to our wedding. We had a wide range of guest ages (teens to 90) and we were worried the music would be skewed one way or other. But Connexion performed a great variety of songs, and everyone of all ages was dancing all night. I don't think I've ever seen a dance floor so full for the entire wedding. Ray was wonderful to work with prior to the event, great communication and follow up. He responded quickly to my million emails and phone calls. The band played the songs we requested and filled in the rest, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. The band was a surprise for my dad, and he teared up when he saw them perform. Best part ever.

    This band is so talented and brings the energy!

    This is the email I sent to Ray after my wedding to thank the band! They are all so talented and I am so happy I was able to book them for my wedding!!

    “ Dear Ray,

    We had to send an email to rave about your band.

    First of all, thank you for being so responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process. You really made everything so smooth and stress-free, you were very reliable, and I knew I could trust you with the last minute changes.

    Second of all, I have never had so much fun at a wedding in my life (granted I am a little biased). Your band had EVERYONE (old and young) on the dance floor from start to finish! Even during intermission, people were STILL on the dance floor waiting for the band to come back!

    Third- the vocalists and musicians were fantastic! We were blown away by the range of talents, and loved how they alternated lead singers for different songs. From the rapping to the ballads, the Connexion band covered it all!

    Fourth- We loved the songs that the band played! We appreciated the mix of old and new! I can't tell you how many people have also complimented the band. We have been receiving texts/phone calls from people asking the name of your band and how we found you guys (we originally saw your band at Ashley Swanson's wedding and knew we had to have you for ours).

    Last- We honestly cannot thank you and all the members of the band enough. You made the day so special and one we will always think back on and smile about.”

    Great Band all around

    We hired the Connexion band for our wedding this August and it was the BEST decision. The band really lit up the evening with their lively spirits and choice of music. Their voices were not only impressive but the variety of genres they could sing was very remarkable. Their leader Ray was very helpful and responsive to our specific needs. He gladly set up speakers on our second floor dinner space for our dinner music. He accommodated our request for “tropical” themed dinner music as well. The band gladly embraced our tropical theme and wore flower leis like the rest of the guests. Overall they were a joy to work with and we loved listening to them. We still are receiving compliments from guests, “The band was great!” 10/10 recommend if you want your music and reception to be a night to remember!

    BEST Band Out There

    The Connexion Band performed at our wedding in September 2019 - it's December and we're still getting compliments on how great the band was! They were professional, polished, energetic, and they sounded amazing! They cover a wide range of musical genres and know how to plan out a set list that really keeps people dancing all night. The band manager, Ray, was great to work with and all our special requests were accommodated. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

    Fantastic band for a great price!

    You should hire this band for your wedding!! We went to listen to numerous bands at other people’s weddings and none impressed us as much as Connexion. They provide so many pieces at such an affordable price! They had our dance floor rocking all night long and people kept complimenting us on how amazing the band was. All of this was helped by the fact that Ray was great to work with. He started communicating with us almost a year out from the wedding as we started to discuss song selection. As the wedding day got closer, we nailed down a timeline for the entire evening and Ray and his MC made sure the evening went smoothly. One of our friends left the wedding asking if he could hire Connexion for his upcoming wedding in NYC because he thought they were so fantastic!

    The best!!

    The Connexion was a great addition to our wedding reception!!! They were so fun and engaging for our friends and family on the dance floor! They also learned our first song before our big day and were very easy to work with!! My husband and I would highly recommend them for other weddings in the future!!

    The band and dance floor of my dream

    The Connexion Band was so amazing I'm not sure where to begin. The thing that comes to mind first was how crowded the dance floor was all night. Myself, being the bride, only left the dance floor once (to go eat cake). The songs and energy make it impossible to leave. We had guests the night of, and still one month later, asking who the band was. Throughout the planning process Ray was nothing but pleasant to work with, was very responsive and flexible as plans would change throughout. Hiring this band was one of our best decisions of the wedding!

    Quality Entertainment!

    My wife and I booked the Connexion Band for our wedding and they were fantastic! We chose the nine piece band option and not only did they have a ton of range and learned a couple new songs for us, but they also came out and played with my brother-in-law who was performing during their break! On top of that, they were a great value compared to other bands we saw (and we saw a lot!). One of our guests even booked them on the spot for their upcoming wedding in December. I can't praise them enough for how flexible, energetic, and professional they were. Would book them again in an instant!

    Everything We Wanted

    We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our wedding! It was without a doubt, one of the most memorable parts of our day! The band had the dance floor packed all night!

    Ray was such a pleasure to work with! He answered our questions in a timely manner, and always made sure we were happy!

    We would, without a doubt, recommend The Connexion Band to anyone for their special occasion!

    Connexion Band MADE our wedding!

    We used Connexion Band for our wedding on October 6th and they were phenomenal!! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone has an absolute blast. So many people came up to me at the wedding or after and asked about the band - they seriously crushed it! We had so much fun and Ray was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive, patient, and accommodating. Would 100% recommend this band and they are an incredible value for the price. They truly made our night!!

    Okay, so Ray asked me to leave a review but honestly I would have done it anyway.. Seriously amazing group. As a fellow musician and someone who is probably pickier than most when it comes to music, I can honestly say that they did a wonderful job at our wedding and really set the tone for the night. The dance floor was filled the entire night and the energy in the room was awesome! They even let me steal the mic for a couple tunes, which was great... Ray is one of the nicest guys to deal with and very very patient. Dave is the guy to talk to during the performance--They were both great and very accommodating to our last minute requests and needs. All of the other band members were super cool and everyone genuinely seemed to be having fun. Overall, very professional. I don't normally leave reviews but these guys deserve it. You really cant find a better band for this kind of value. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some great live tunes and a rowdy dance floor.... one more thing, we hired the jazz trio for cocktail hour and it was AWESOME! Definitely would recommend adding that to your occasion as well. I honestly cannot count how many compliments we got on the band--both the jazz trio and the full ensemble. Our guests loved all of the music! In fact, 2 of my friends have already inquired about how to contact Connexion after seeing them play...dont sleep on these guys! Great job!!

    We used Connexion on June 9th for a wedding at Lowe's Hotel. The band was beyond my expectations in every way. Not only were they superb at the wedding, but working with Ray on the music the timeline and other tings we needed was wonderful. He replied properly and shared some of his wisdom with us to make the night flow. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!

    Absolutely perfect.
    My husband and I were mostly concerned about the open bar and music. We spent countless hours listening to a variety of bands and what stood out the most to us with Connexion Band was the flexibility, timeliness in response, and of course their music list and samples.
    Their website is very user friendly and the selling point is that they have samples you can listen to of a few of their covers. I will be honest we did have our doubts while listening to the samples thinking "how could they sound this good, it's recorded." But, they definitely over exceeded our expectations. They were so impressive that I have friends and family members asking for their information for when they have their "potential weddings." Our guests didn't leave the dance floor from the minute they started. I have never been to a wedding where all the guests are still centered on the dance floor when the lights go on and the music ends.
    The thing that the Connexion band offers that I didn't see in other bands was not only the variety of songs from slow, fast, oldies, country, but also because they had a male and female lead for specific songs. Which really made it feel like a true cover. Their voices are bone chilling perfect.
    The only challenge when booking them is that they are very confidential with their clients so they don't allow you to visit them while performing at other events. So you feel like you are taking a gamble. Which now that our event is over, I highly respect. But, at the time while planning I will admit I was a little disappointed and nervous when selecting them. However, I found them on Facebook which led me to find another couple who partnered with them for their wedding. The review from them was great, so I took a risk and listened to their recommendation and I couldn't be more grateful.
    You'd be crazy not to select The Connexion Band for your next event. Ray is super easy to work with and truly wants the best for you.
    Warm Regards,
    A&S

    Great music and good people

    The Connection Band played at our wedding reception in December 2017. We thoroughly enjoyed their music and received many compliments on the band, even long after the event. They customized a playlist for our preferred style made up of a combination of requests and their picks that fit well. They have an extensive repertoire and would be able to do that for many genres and tastes. They even played a song I asked for that was not on their regular list. They also provided a solo keyboard player to provide background music during dinner.

    The electricity went out at our reception just before the band was to go on stage and they were prepared to go without electronics if needed (the power came back on).

    They provide good value for the number and quality of musicians at their price. The band leader Ray is friendly. And the Connexion Band provided entertainment to celebrate the reason we were there without making themselves the focus or using our event to promote themselves.

    Ray and the Connexion band were the centerpiece of an EPIC wedding day for my wife and I on 11/4/17. They were extremely responsive through the whole process and willing to learn and adjust a few songs that meant a lot to us. The fact that they had 9 members left the crowd in awe of the range of genres....rock, country, rap, Top 40, oldies, and BRAND new songs (think 'Feels' by Calvin Harris'). The dance floor was ABSOLUTELY packed the entire night and every song was as though the original artist was singing. They were interactive with the crowd and we had more than a handful of guests say they were the best wedding band they had ever heard! I couldn't agree more, their energy, passion, talent, and genuine excitement to be playing our wedding was unmatched and made it the best day of our lives. I would and have recommended them to anybody who is discussing bands! Thank you Ray and Connexion Band for all the hard work, we will never forget that night!

    Absolute professionals and incredible musicians. You could tell they were having as much fun as the crowd. All guests commented how spectacular the band was. Top notch, as good as it gets.
