    The band that gets the party started and doesn't stop!

    We booked Cryin' Out Loud for our wedding this past New Year's Eve and are beyond satisfied. If you want a party that gets guests of all ages on the dance floor, you need Cryin' Out Loud.

    From live piano during our cocktail hour to ringing in the New Year with brass and killer vocals, the band did not disappoint. They had the bride and groom up on stage and their band members interacting with guests on the dance floor. Throughout the long night, their breaks were so short that our guests never left the dance floor. It was a New Year's party to remember, all thanks to COL!

    Amazing Band

    Their performance was outstanding! We could not be happier with our decision to book Cryin’ Out Loud. They are high energy, professional and very talented. They were the only band we went to see and we booked them immediately. We are so glad we did! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they were and what a great time they had at our wedding! I highly recommend them for your wedding or any event. You will not disappointed!

    Wedding Band

    We had so much fun with Cryin Out Loud on our wedding night! We hired them after seeing them perform out in Saratoga for years in a row, knowing that they always kept the dancing floor going and they still exceeded our expectations! They had each and every one of our guests dancing all night long! They even let some of our guests participate in the band and those performances made the night so much more special for all! We cannot thank them enough and are already so excited to see them again!

    Excellent, easy to work with, extremely talented.

    Cryin’ Out Loud exceeded all expectations for our wedding. From initial planning, to the ceremony through the last call, they were nothing but fantastic. Their experience with weddings is obvious and the dance floor was packed all night. HIGHLY recommend!

    This band made the wedding!

    From beginning to end brought the party! Announcing the wedding party with a personal touch to bringing the band onto the dance floor making the guests feel super special. The guests chairs were empty from after dinner to the end of the night. Everyone danced. People saying goodbye with well wishing a to the Bride and Groom said “the band was awesome “ and “This party was bumping all night”. Even the more mature guests were dancing. They brought a superb variety of music for all ages and the utmost skilled musicians in any venue I’ve ever seen. Last but least, their professionalism, dapper dressing, and stage presence was above my expectations. My first born daughters wedding was so beautifully choreographed but the reception will be the talk of the family for decades because of Crying Out Loud. For Daughter #2 I will book this band again.

    Fantastic music and service

    I cannot say enough about Cryin Out Loud. 1. They are so talented that their covers sounded just like the originals or better. 2. Their playlist is absolutely fantastic, the dance floor stayed packed the entire night since they began. Everyone ages 20-85 were dancing and singing at the top of their lungs. 3. They were always responsive, helpful, and compassionate. When I arrived to our reception, our tent had flooded from a heavy downpour. Gregg and members of the band came over to give me a pep talk and they jammed on their instruments to entertain people while cocktail hour was supposed to be going on. They made me and my mom feel better. After that everyone forgot about being wet and had a fantastic night. I’m recommending them to everyone and we would love to have them back for other events!!

    If you want all your guests dancing at your wedding, hire Cryin Out Loud!

    Cryin out loud was AMAZING. Everyone at our wedding was up and dancing and commented on how awesome this band was. They are so much fun and incredibly talented. They allowed my husband and I to be a part of the band when we asked and didn’t skip a beat with the energy of our crowd. We had the best time all thanks to Cryin Out Loud. My father was so excited to have a full band at our wedding and is still talking about it. BIG Shout out to Joey G on trumpet!!!!

    Cryin' out loud is incredible

    Cryin' Out Loud was the most INCREDIBLE wedding band at our event in southern Vermont this fall. In addition to being very talented, Gregg is just an all around nice guy and he and the band are so easy to work with. Not having a chance to go see as many bands live because of COVID, we were hemming and hawing about how to make a decision – we were even debating whether to book one of those bands made up of "assorted band members" who don't really know each other in order to save a penny or two. THANK GOODNESS we went with Cryin' Out Loud instead – it was absolutely INCREDIBLE to have an 8-person band, the band's rapport and talent was incredible, and I didn't realize until the wedding was underway how much of a difference it makes that the band really knows each other and is a "REAL" band. Don't get tricked by one of those other companies and hire the real deal – Cryin' Out Loud is the real deal! My husband's father who is a musician was blown away by the talent and everyone was dancing all night and kept asking us how we booked this band. THANK YOU Cryin' Out Loud – you single-handedly made our wedding reception so high-energy and incredible!

    Bride- hired for my wedding

    We hired this amazing band for our wedding on 9/5/21. They played so incredibly well and we danced nonstop all night. All our guests loved them. Even my 81 year old Mom was out there tearing up the rug. I even got to play the tambourine with the band for one song. So fun. Absolutely amazing band- trust me and hire this band for your event!!! You will have an absolute blast. Christine Gordon

    Great Band! Great music, great service, great night!

    Cryin' Out Loud played at our wedding a few weeks ago and they were terrific! They played a long set and kept the energy levels high the entire night. The band has terrific range and played a great variety of songs, going beyond the typical wedding playlists. They even played an acoustic American Pie for the wedding party to karaoke to

    On top of the music, Gregg is terrific to work with. Extremely responsive, flexible and transparent. They stuck with us when we had to reschedule our original event due to COVID and were reliable throughout the whole process.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! You will not be disappointed

    Great band! Highly Recommend!

    Cryin' Out Loud played at our wedding in August 2021, and was terrific! All of our guests raved about how good they were, and said having the horns with our wedding band made it! Gregg was on top of everything, and would respond to me within minutes no matter how many questions I had. They played all types of music that kept our guests dancing all night long. You will not be disappointed!

    Talented wedding band, HIGHLY Recommend

    Cryin' Out Loud was exactly the band we were looking for. They had great energy and had us dancing all night long. We worked with them on a Blues Brothers themed bridal party entrance which was so much fun and set the tone for the whole night. Musically, they are a band with deep range of talent; they brought 8 musicians and had 4 singers with great voices. All night long, my family and friends commented on how good they were.

    If you are looking for a high energy band that will keep everyone dancing all night, this is your band. The band leader, Greg, is really attentive and easy to work with. He said that the secret to their success is that they have been playing together for years, unlike other bands who change members for every show.

    Despite being a large band, they were lower price than many others that we talked with.

    Thanks Greg and Cryin Out Loud for making our wedding night perfect.

    Amazing time!

    This band was incredible! Gregg was easy to work was easy to work with and made sure that our night was one for the books, down to nailing our first dance song with limited time to learn it. Everyone in the band had great energy and they are all talented musicians. Cryin Out Loud had all of our guests, no matter what age, up on the dance floor! My husband and I cannot wait to see them again and would recommend them to any couple looking for a great party with lots of dancing on their wedding day!!!

    Cryin' Out Loud's reply:

    Thank you For the kind words Alyssa ! Stowe Vermont was a beautiful backdrop for a spectacular day ! Also thank you for moving your date from 2020 to June 2021 . The flexibility of all the vendors as well as your friends and family worked out perfectly !

    What.A.Party

    We have never attended a wedding with a band prior to our own and we were a little hesitant at first and a little worried that a lot of our guests would not be interested in dancing but Cryin Out Loud had EVERYONE on the dance floor . As soon as they started playing , everyone was dancing , even our 90 year old grandparents , and the people that normally don’t dance! The energy was amazing and everyone had the BEST time and we received a ton of compliments ! They were very easy to work with , we did not have a lot of requests and we just let them do their thing and we were not disappointed ! Cryin Out Loud made our wedding the most fun , memorable and amazing night and we couldn’t be happier!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    We cannot put into words how thankful we are that Cryin' Out Loud was our wedding band. From when we first booked them to our wedding day, they were so easy to work with and made us so excited for the big day. We had read so many glowing reviews about this band and how every single person was out there dancing all night long. They are absolutely on point, they had every single person out on the dance floor dancing even before we started having dinner! There playlist was perfect and they knew exactly how to get the crowd up and moving. Their sound and singing was also incredible, the videos online don't even do them justice. They were all so kind and sweet as well and Gregg was also an excellent MC that helped run the night smoothly from the cocktail hour, to first dances, speeches and even provided information about the after party to our guests. We have received so many comments by our friends, parents, aunts/uncles, great aunts/uncles, cousins, and grandparents about how great the band was. We also heard outstanding things about them from our vendors about how easy they were to work with who hadn't worked with them before. If you get the opportunity and they are available, book this band! You will not regret it and also trust them entirely, because they will play the right songs at the right time and your guests will have just as great of a night as you!

    Hire Them!

    COL performed at our wedding 8/31/19 in Lake George. They were accommodating with last minute ceremony requests/changes and easy to work with. Everything went flawlessly. They went above and beyond the duties of a band to coordinate introductions and make everyone feel calm and excited. When it was time to do their thing for the reception- I have never been to a more fun dance party. There was something for everyone and the dance floor was always packed. I've already had numerous engaged friends ask about them because our wedding was such a good time. If you want to have fun at your own wedding/event - HIRE THEM!

    Wedding band

    When beginning to plan my wedding, I was given one piece of advice that stuck in my head- to hire a band instead of a DJ. And MAN, I am so glad that is just what I did. I am even more glad that we found COL!

    Gregg was very easy to talk to, even took a minute at one of his shows to say hello to us. When we went to watch them for the first time we knew they were the right band for us. High energy and just fun! When we told Gregg our thoughts about having both my husband and brother play a song with the band he didn't hesitate at all. He was so excited about it, which made us even more excited.

    Those moments during our wedding night absolutely exceeded our expectations. Adam was only supposed to play one song and ended up playing TWO. Then when my brother was playing You Shook Me All Night Long, Gregg found me and asked if I wanted to sing! It was SO amazing (totally out of my comfort zone) but Danielle and the whole band helped me to be comfortable up there! This is a night we will never forget.

    We are still getting compliments about our wedding and how much fun it was. Everyone kept asking where the band was from and saying how awesome they were. Everyone had such a fun time and that dance floor was packed all night. COL was incredible. Thank you guys so much for making our night absolutely perfect.

    Crying out loud, wedding band

    Overall my experience with crying out loud exceeded my expectations. Everything went perfectly. They literally just show up and know exactly what to do. The music choice was spot on, it got everyone up and dancing all night. Everyone at the wedding loved them, and so did we. It couldn’t have gone better.

    Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommended!

    It was an absolute joy to work with Gregg and the team, from start to finish. On the day, these guys absolutely rocked it. They helped make our special day even more perfect, and our guests have been raving about how incredible their performance. The range of their music, the quality of each individual performer and the collective unit just blew us all away. I cannot recommend Cryin' Out Loud enough!

    Simply put, Cryin' Out Loud was outstanding. We could not have asked for more from them. Leading up to our wedding, we always received quick and professional responses whenever we had questions. At our reception, the dance floor was packed the entire night and we received countless comments about how great the band was. One of the highlights of the reception was when COL let us (the bride and groom) up on stage to sing along with them. If you book Cryin' Out Loud you will not be disappointed!
