    Hire this band immediately

    Do yourself a favor and hire Current Affair for your wedding. They hands down made our wedding- they kept our guests dancing all night long. We had friends and family coming up to us all night telling us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. On top of that, we asked them to play some pretty hard songs for our first dances and they NAILED it. They have a huge repertoire and the talent is insane. John who handles band logistics and MC is so nice and responds to emails immediately. Hire them- you’ll be so glad you did. They have our highest recommendation and we’re forever grateful.

    Best Wedding Band!!

    I cannot thank Current Affair enough! They played at my cousin’s wedding a year ago and I knew I had to book them for mine. Communication with John was effortless via email and phone calls. We had one guitarist play for cocktail hour. He not only is an exceptional guitarist but his vocals will blow you away at the reception. I told John I just wanted people dancing all night. I had no doubt they would deliver but they exceeded my expectations. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Each member of the band is uniquely talented, this allows them to cover all genres. They know how to keep the crowd engaged and on the dance floor. They do not stop playing the entire night. During dinner one singer did Bohemian Rhapsody. He walked around to different tables, everyone sang along and loved it. They played all of our requests and even learned Irish songs for us. My favorite memory was when the band was practicing our first dance song when my husband and I viewed the reception room. It felt so special because it was just the two of us enjoying a private moment after getting married. I received so many complements about the band and cannot recommend them enough.

    Book this band!

    Our planning process was very long. John was essentially ‘stuck’ with me for almost 3 very up and down years! We started our journey before any talk of COVID and milestone events being postponed and/or cancelled. And ended our planning process after 3 postponed dates, a new baby and being already married! And I am happy John was along for the ride the whole way through. He handled every change I threw his way with grace, patience and acceptance.

    John not only made the planning and booking process unbelievably easy he made sure to SHOW UP at our wedding! I was not prepared for the talent he and the other artists were bringing to our wedding. I and the rest of our guests were floored! Current Affairs absolutely makes you feel like royalty when they perform for YOU and your guests at your wedding. The amount of talent that pours out of these individuals feels like they should be performing for celebrities.

    I really can go on and on with how much I LOVED this band! Our wedding was almost 5 months ago and I still get compliments with our band! I told my dad that some friends are asking for recommendations on vendors and he said ‘there should be no question, if they were at your wedding, Current Affairs should be booked.’

    So, if you’re not going to take it from me, take it from my dad! Book Current Affairs!

    Also… hi John!

    Incredible experience - better than we could have imagined!!

    I don’t even know where to begin with John and Current Affair. I’m delayed in my review (married August 13th) but evenly almost two months out, we’re still on a MAJOR high from the wedding, primarily because of the music! So many little details of the day have become less important, but the part of the wedding we reminisce about most was the music - both the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had seen the band perform at a friend’s wedding a year prior and were so impressed; I called John the following Monday. They were the first vendor we booked in the process, and honestly, the absolute best investment we made in this wedding. I’m a wordy person, and I don’t have the vocabulary to describe how incredible the band is - I’m talking Broadway talent (actually, not figuratively). We had a fun and wild group of guests, but you took it to the next level. We had to drag people out of the venue onto the bus kicking and screaming. People are still talking about it and asking us about the band 2 months later!

    Onto the specifics, working with John (the band President) was a great experience start to finish. He’s responsive and nice, and he REALLY knows his sh*t when it comes to music. John is accommodating and patient (we had 7000 questions even a few days before). John has a variety of singers and musicians that are legitimately in Broadway productions and join the band off season or out of production. People knew who some of them were; it’s mind-boggling. My husband does music production on the side and he and his friends are very musically-oriented, and they were beside themselves with the quality of the band, so imagine what your average person would think of them!

    We had a perfect day and an amazing ceremony, but the band all were the stars of the evening (alongside us ;)), and we could not be more impressed or grateful. Thank you for making our wedding the truly incredible experience that it was. I’m sure everyone feels that way about their own day, but this one takes the cake!!!

    Amazing...everyone was on the dance floor all night!!

    Amazing band!! My family has hired them to play at numerous family affairs....always a pleasure to work with and all guests are on the dance floor! They are able to play from all genres which is great..there is something for all generations to listen to and dance to. Always willing to accommodate any music requests that you may have. Guests actually said that as soon as they saw that I hired the same band as past events, they knew my daughter's wedding would be an incredible celebration!! Run, don't walk, to book Current Affair...you and your guests will be so happy you did!!

    Outstandingly talented and fun!

    This band is UNBELIEVABLE! I first saw them play at one of my best friend's weddings a few years back, so when it came time to choose a band for my wedding, I knew we had to look no further! John is exceptionally easy, friendly and helpful to deal with and every member of the band is an outstanding talent! The depth of musical variety is unparalleled, and they are FUN FUN FUN! We have been hearing non-stop from all of our guests that "this was the best wedding band they have ever seen!" I could not agree more. They even helped me with an unusual request for a Willie Nelson classic to honor my Dad who had passed, and they NAILED IT! I can say with absolute certainty you will NOT be disappointed in this band!

    Incredible

    Our experience with John and his band was absolutely incredible! Words cannot describe how amazing they were. We are still receiving compliments from that night of how great the band was. Current Affair Music went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special! The singers voices are unbelievable and their talent is endless! Working with such a nice vendor really made the whole experience wonderful!

    Beyond amazing

    Hands down this is the best band I could have booked for my wedding. People were calling me weeks later saying how amazing they were, friends who could not attend were calling me telling me they heard how amazing the band was and they were so sad they weren’t there. I had a family friend tell me they made it the best wedding she had been to in 10 years. They can play anything and knew how to keep the party going. 200000000/10 would recommend

    Speechless!

    There are NO WORDS to describe how amazing Current Affair was. They were the #1 BEST THING about my wedding. The talent is unmatched and my guests were on the dance floor the ENTIRE night. One of my favorite things about them was that they played live music the entire night without stopping which kept everyone so entertained even while eating. John was absolutely incredible at MC'ing and Current Affair was able to fulfill all of my requests. They played piano and guitar at my ceremony, piano at my cocktail hour, and the full band joined for the reception. I had 3 singers and their voices were absolutely incredible none of my guests can stop talking about it. I've been to a LOT of weddings and I have NEVER seen a band with this much talent. 10/10 would 100% recommend.

    3rd family wedding they played - best of the best!

    Current Affair makes every affair one to remember ! This was our 3rd time hiring John and his group at one of our children’s weddings and, we, as well as our guests, continue to rant and rave about how they get better and better with every event! John is the easiest and kindest man to work with! He listens to your personal request for music and songs and has a versatile playlist that your guests will surely enjoy! Each performer and musician is extremely professional and incredibly talented. If you want a band that will keep your guests on their feet all night, Current Affair is the one to book! Thank you for another wonderful event for our family!

    The best!

    I was just married on 10/11/2020 and Current Affair is truly the BEST in the business! Between the music, the singing and the dancing we could not have asked for anything more! While the pandemic brought some challenges, John stuck with us through it all. He was fantastic to work with and helped us to stay positive. The guitarist played beautifully at our ceremony and the band had everyone up on the dance floor at our reception! They even learned new songs for us too! We received endless compliments throughout the night from all of our guests. If you are looking for a band for your big day you will LOVE Current Affair! They love what they do and you will love having them there!

    We Cannot Stop Smiling!

    John and The Current Affair Band were above and beyond everything we could have hoped for! Getting married during the current pandemic environment was hard enough, so having John be so responsive and willing to work with us to make our wedding day so special was simply amazing. Even with restrictions and safety precautions in place, it did not stop our guests from flooding the dance floor for the entire night! For days afterwards, our family and friends could not stop raving about how great our band was! I highly recommend hiring The Current Affair Band for your wedding or event, as you will NOT be disappointed. We plan on hiring them in the future for any and all events!

    Mother of the Groom 8/22/2020

    Amazing! This wonderful group of talented people played at our daughter’s NY wedding 11 years ago and this past weekend traveled to NH for us to play at our son’s wedding!! And having a wedding during these times had some challenges ...three venue changes, two date changes, Covid precautions! John stuck with us through it all! And we are SO grateful! The guitarist played at the ceremony and the cocktail hour, with the full band rocking the ball room until midnight!! Everyone loved them! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Spectacular

    This band STOLE the show at our wedding! I cannot begin to count the number of compliments we have received! They played every era, every genre! There was NOTHING they couldn’t master! They had the entire wedding on the dance floor the entire time!! John is the most patient, easygoing, and organized person to work with. It was a pleasure to work with him! He never made me feel like I was annoying either, and I totally was!!!
    They provided huge screens and zap photographer for real time photos to be played AND for sentimental slideshows to play that my mother had prepared for our dances. Could NOT have asked for more!

    Amazing Wedding Band!!

    Current Affair truly made our night! They are extremely talented musicians and played such a wide range of music that kept the dance floor packed all night long. John was so flexible and extremely easy to work with - he took every request we had with enthusiasm and was so accommodating. We got so many compliments from guests saying Current Affair was the best wedding band they've ever heard! HIGHLY recommend this band!

    For the ultimate dance party, this band will absolutely deliver - and more

    John and the entire Current Affair team were professional, responsive, flexible - and they delivered far better of an experience than I could have ever imagined.
    Knowing the band would be the most important thing at our wedding, we saw and spoke with literally hundreds of bands before my parents remembered the band playing at one of their friends weddings they said was the best dance party they’ve been to....and we got their contact info and John was so real, down to earth, and professional.
    beyond the ease to work with in the planning process (no red taps or management teams - your talking to the band lead the whole time), John and entire his team just delivered such an unreal performance on the day. They crush the oldies like the real deal and they also play songs of today. Just a few days before my wedding I requested a song they didn’t know and but they somehow practiced on their own that week and pulled it off on the day.
    We had Johns group play during the ceremony as well - and the guitarist absolutely crushed it. We added horns for a surprise “all you need is love” performance and it was perfect.
    Every band member was great. The horns (this was important to us!), John on the guitar, people were literally bowing at the guitarist and ever single person in the band was just exceptional.

    John is seriously the man - he really knows how to run the show and put on a party guaranteed to have everyone on the dance floor.

    Great afternoon at The Crescent Beach Club

    Current Affair was great! They are very unique in that they will learn and play any song you want. Most bands have a limit to the songs you can request. Our guests were very happy with their music. John is great to work with!

    My Daughters Wedding

    My daughter Láuren recently got married at the Crescent Beach Club in Bayville, LI. The reception was amazing, an unforgettable evening. The Current Affair contributed to the unforgettable evening. The dance floor was packed the whole night. My guests could not stop raving about the Current Affair Band. They personalized the wedding with constant communication with the bride & groom prior to the wedding. I highly recommend the Current Affair for your next event.

    Best wedding band ever!

    I cannot put into words how THRILLED I am with Current Affair’s performance at my wedding!! Everyone literally danced the entire time which was exactly what I was hoping for! They ended the night with a performance of Mr. Brightside which completely brought the house down. I had wedding guests who are professional musicians come up to me and tell me they couldn’t believe how amazing the band was!

    Additionally, John was GREAT to work with and we are so thankful he and the band played the songs we requested including a last minute request of the portuguese rendition of “Girl from Ipanema” for my mother in law who is Brazilian (she cried the entire time they played it.) I really cannot say enough about this band!! Plus their price is completely reasonable! If you are looking to book a talented band for an event Current Affair is it.

    Best Wedding Band EVER!!!!

    I wish I could give a rating higher than 5 stars. We just had our wedding at the Ryland Inn this past weekend and the John and the rest of the band absolutely MADE the party. The dance floor was packed the entire night - even guests that we had never seen dance in the past were on their feet for most of the wedding! Music was so important to us that we sent the band an exhaustive list of songs we wanted to hear, and they played ALL of them (including several in Spanish and Italian), and played them beautifully! In the days since the wedding, guests have reached out to comment on how wonderful the band was. My only regret is that we barely had a chance to eat because every song was better than the next and we didn't want to miss the opportunity to dance and celebrate with our loved ones. Thank you, Current Affair, for making this wedding so memorable!

    4th Wedding with the Best Band!

    John,
    Thank you for the incredible entertainment at a 4th DeChello wedding!! You and your band bring it every time! The crowd loves you and we do too. Once you start playing the dance floor is packed until the end of the night and we are always requesting one more song!!
    We made the right decision 6 years ago in hiring you for Nick and Alana’s wedding, 3 1/2 years ago for Jamie and Rick’s wedding, 1 1/2 years ago for Mike and Megan’s wedding and Saturday night for Christina and Aaron’s wedding!! Best decisions we made! No doubt in our mind that Current Affair makes the wedding!!
    Thank you again, and since weddings for us are now complete, we will have to find another event to have you play!
    Thank you,
    Donna & Tony DeChello

    The best band out there!

    “Current Affair” makes the party! Over the past ten years we have enjoyed them at eight weddings, two of which were for our own children. We wouldn’t dream of having a wedding or event without them! They never take a break, they play to every generation, and they are a pleasure to deal with. The only advice - make sure your dance floor is big enough for all your guests! "Current Affair" is worth every penny!

    Best Wedding Band

    John and Current Affair were (according to over a dozen of our guests) the best wedding band ever. We couldn't be happier with our choice. They kept the dance floor packed all night with a fantastic blend of classics and contemporary hits. They were also very flexible as we requested my brother's girlfriend to sing our first dance song with the band. John was prompt in his replies throughout the entire process and he really helped our special day go very smoothly. An all around amazing experience.
