    Crowdsurfing Bride!

    How many weddings have you been to where the bride and her sisters crowd surfed? Well it happened at ours with Decades!!! While Decades can't promise the physical strength to lift anyone, they'll certainly set the dance floor off to get you there!!! We first saw them perform at a friend's wedding and HAD TO HAVE THEM at ours. They just killed it. Not a single person left the party without mentioning how much fun they had dancing. I loved how included every guest felt- young and old and non-Americans too!! INCREDIBLE... Jennifer the lead singer's voice is.... WOW!!! We were also so impressed that their sound person was moving around the room making sure everything was spot on acoustically. It is clear that they all LOVE to perform, they care about their craft deeply, and they know how to get people moving. So wonderful, we couldn't have been happier!

    Best. Day. Ever.

    Decades was absolutely incredible at our wedding in Santa Barbara, CA this past weekend!! It truly felt like we were at a concert and the song selections were spot on. Just about every person I spoke with that night LOVED Decades. Now we just need to find an excuse to throw another big party and have them back in SB. :) Thank you, Decades!!

    Iconic night with Decades!

    Decades was Amazing! There are many standard, wedding cover bands out…and that’s not Decades! They blew us and all our guests away. From the range of genres sung to the awesome vocal abilities, they were epic!

    Our guests are still raving about them and they truly were the exclamation point to our special day.

    Very easy to work with leading up to the wedding, provided microphones for the ceremony and rocked the dinner/reception. 10/0 would recommend for any wedding or event!

    We got married in Sonoma CA at the Barn at Harrow Cellars.

    Incredible band and even better people!!

    The Decades played our wedding and absolutely knocked it out of the park. We had them learn two brand new songs for us as well and they did it perfectly. They are the nicest people as well and such a joy to work with. We really can’t say enough positive things. A+++++ LOVE YOU GUYS!!

    Decades blew us away!

    Decades are an outstanding band and played a big part in making our wedding memorable. They performed acoustic guitar for our ceremony and then a two-hour set of songs to dance to at our reception. The dance floor was packed all night (moreso than I have ever seen at a wedding!) and tens of guests commented to us on how great the band had been. They sounded amazing with every song, have a broad catalogue and played every one of the 30-ish songs we requested. They were very friendly people and Billy (manager and drummer) is an excellent communicator, who was flexible in arranging sound (microphones, speakers) for our ceremony in a remote location, as well as coordinating smoothly with our reception venue. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Decades to anyone.

    Stop Thinking and Book Decades Now!

    Wow, I cannot recommend Decades enough!! One of our main desires for our wedding was a band that gets everyone dancing on the floor and they did that and then some! Everyone we've talked to so far said that Decades were a highlight of a tremendous weekend, and seeing their ability to get ALL ages (3 - 85) dancing for the entire setlist was incredible. Everything from oldies, wedding classics, pop-punk, and a few individual requests had the energy high for the hours they were on. Better yet, they also provided fantastic ceremony live acoustic guitar for my wife's walk down the aisle (thank you for learning Old Pine, it was more beautiful than I saw in my head), great cocktail/dinner playlist, and a fun interactive MC to keep the party moving and guests in the correct spots at the correct times! They were even willing to accommodate (and practice with!) a request for one of the bridesmaids who signs part-time to join the band to sign our First Dance! Even before the wedding, they are so communicative from the start of inquiry through the months it takes to get to the ceremony (a big relief when dealing with the inevitable vendors who don't until only the week of) and wanting to work with you to give you the perfect day, and boy do they deliver! If I were to do it all over again, the first thing I would do is sign Decades!! They are THAT good!

    Consistently Rocking the Wedding Party

    We had the pleasure of having Decades play our wedding in June 2023! Short review: We wanted a live band and they rocked it! My 85 year old grandma was up and dancing along with the teenagers. Long review: Communication with the band leader, Billy, was fluid and easy, and alleviated the stress that we inevitably felt when wedding planning! He was incredibly professional with timelines, song preferences and choices, MC duties with toasts and transitions, and accommodating our unconventional music requests at intermission.

    The day of the wedding was seamless and easy. We didn't need to do a thing for the band. They were self-directed, courteous, professional, and so mellow. They were set up 4 hours before the wedding, fully sound checked with an elaborate light show. All we did was watch professional musicians enjoying themselves. It was forecast to heavily rain and they continued without worry, covering gear with plastic bags, pop-up tents and tarps. Fortunately it didn't, but they were fully prepared. Such a great group of people who made our wedding so much fun for all ages. Would highly recommend them to anyone wanting live music! They CRUSHED it!

    People are STILL talking about our band!

    We searched a long time for a wedding band, and many of the results we found started to blur together, but this band stood out in so many ways. After doing some digging, we found some videos of them performing and were blown away by their talent and playfulness. They absolutely rocked the house at our wedding. Their specialty is music from all the decades so we were able to pick some classics, some hidden gems, and some recent songs we loved. Our dance floor was PACKED the entire night, and people are still reaching out to us saying how good they were, and that they wanted Decades for their wedding now. We purchased the mid-tier package so they could learn one of our favorite songs and they performed it flawlessly. It seems like all genres are up their alley. Decades was such a professional, humble, and fun group and we feel so thankful that they were a part of our wedding story!

    Top Tier Wedding Band

    After searching around for a band for our wedding in Santa Rosa, we stumbled across Decades and were lucky enough to have them come out to play our celebration. Extremely professional, they worked with us to ensure that we had an amazing setlist and that everything went off without a hitch. Truly incredible live performers, they elevated the dancing at our reception to another level, and our guests were raving about them. Don't hesitate to book if you want an incredible wedding experience!

    Braved the Storm and Kept the Party Alive

    The Decades Band was definitely a highlight of the our wedding day! I heard from multiple people who were at the wedding how incredible the band was. They were so professional and were at the venue busy setting up all day. The whole wedding party enjoyed hearing the band warm up throughout the morning - it added another level of anticipation and excitement.

    We couldn't have predicted a downpour on our wedding day in May - but it happened. They were such good sports about the rain and played until the very end. Since the ceremony ended in a shower of hail, after the cake was served I thought that the party was going to be over but the band drew an audience and we had more than a few people stay to the end of the night.

    I would also like to say, my flower girl came to inform me that dancing to the band was the best and I should come and join her. In my experience, pleasing a six year old can be more challenging than a room full of adults - so cheers to Decades!

    Band made the wedding!

    We had Decades for our wedding and they were fantastic! The music was excellent, and made the wedding so much fun. The band learned a song for the wedding as part of the contract! This made our wedding more special for us. I would highly recommend Decades to anyone who wants an awesome wedding reception!

    Wedding planners: Decades is very responsive and easy to work with! The band members are very nice people.

    The most amazing band ever! Made the wedding so epic!

    I’m in just complete awe! Me and my wife just got home and I just had to write this while the high of it all was still their. The band made the entire wedding!! Not only were they amazing with MC’ing the wedding, but they literally ROCKED the house with their music. It felt like I was at the greatest concert of my life!!! I wish everyone could experience what we did. I 100000% recommend them for your wedding! Thanks Decades for making our wedding a dream come true!

    The Decades! Best Decision EVER

    The Decades were THE perfect choice for our wedding! I'll start by saying they made it really hard to end the night because we were having so much fun!! Their energy, talent and how they jammed really made our day special and intimate! I am not kidding when I say, all of our guests made it to the dance floor at some point. One of my favorite lines from one of our guests was that she was so happy because she was able to dance with her husband for the first time in years because he only dances to GOOD live music!!

    Billy made the the whole process easy! He was easy to communicate with and we were at ease leading up to the day because of how professional he and the band are! Billy was also our MC and he worked really well with our planner to make sure we stayed on schedule. Overall the band made the night unforgettable! Highly recommend them and cant wait for another event to have them at!

    Booking Decades was the best decision we made!

    Decades is an AMAZINGLY talented and professional band and they absolutely made our wedding reception unforgettable. The number one compliment we’ve gotten from all of our guests has been about how good Decades was. Billy was also an excellent MC and was highly communicative with us throughout our entire booking process. If you’re looking for a band that knows songs from every generation, can learn anything you throw at them, and who will melt your face and bring the house down you need to book Decades. I cannot recommend them highly enough and sincerely mean it when I say they were the highlight of our wedding (you know, besides the whole marrying the love of my life part).

    Such a Fun Band!!

    Decades did such a fantastic job with the music at our wedding and we had SO much fun the entire time!! They performed live music during the reception and strings music during the ceremony. Our reception dancing was "East Coast Style" so we had dancing before, between, and after the meal courses. Decades got everyone up and dancing and performed a variety of music with even some unexpectedly fun songs. All of the musicians played multiple instruments, which was very impressive! Many of my friends commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how much fun they had dancing and watching the band transition between instruments and roles on stage. Billy was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. He provided good guidance on how to choose songs for the ceremony and seemed to really understand what we wanted for our wedding. I would absolutely recommend them for both ceremony and reception music!!

    Decades absolutely crushed it!

    Where do I begin? Decades was the absolute perfect band for our wedding in Ben Lomond, CA.

    They were so professional throughout the whole process and they allow you to really customize your show. They allowed us to pick the entire setlist for the reception and Billy was the best MC we could possibly ask for. Ever since the wedding, all our guests keep telling us how much they loved dancing and singing along with the band. They even learned a new song for us that really brought down the house!

    I would absolutely recommend Decades for any wedding, party, or event you have where you want people to have a great time.

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

    Hiring Decades was one of the best decisions we made and ended up being one of our favorite things about our wedding! If you want amazing live music and your guests on the dance floor all night, look no further!! Decades was the perfect addition to our wedding in Olympic Valley. We loved working with Billy who took care of all the details, killed it on the drums and was the best MC! Will also played guitar for our ceremony which was really special. We chose the Oh, What a Night Package which included the band learning a song of our choice which turned out so good. Our guests all raved about how Decades was the best wedding band they had ever heard. If you're looking for a great wedding band, we can't emphasis enough how much we recommend Decades!

    This band is truly amazing

    I found Decades on the internet when I was looking for a band to play my wedding in September 2022. After listening to some of their clips online and reading some reviews I decided to go with them. First off, the sound samples don't even do these guys justice they sound amazing. They cover such a wide array of music that any demographic at your wedding or event will be thrilled. Not only do they sound good, but their organization and professionalism is top notch, something you want during the planning stages of a wedding.

    Decades Band

    We booked Decades for our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! From the first email correspondence to saying good bye after the reception, it was a pleasure working with them. Easy to work with, responsive and professional, willing to do everything they can for you. Their expertise was so helpful in making sure the entertainment side of our wedding went without a hitch! Not to mention how AMAZINGLY talented they all are. The wide range of instruments, singing and genres, it felt like there was nothing they couldn't do! The entire wedding danced the night away. We have since received so much feedback from our guests about how wonderful and fun the band made the night. If you have the opportunity to book Decades for any event do not hesitate, they are incredible!

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    I can't say enough good things about Decades. Hiring them for our wedding was definitely the best move we made throughout the entire process. First of all, they rock. Our guests had so much fun dancing, and it was easy to relax knowing that folks were having a good time and getting down. Second, they took care of so many of the little things, like walk-down music, MC'ing transitions, etc. Plus they're incredibly easy to deal with, and super responsive. Most of all, they throw one helluva party. Would definitely recommend them.

    Decades brought the house down!

    Decades was AMAZING. My husband and I never wanted to leave the dance floor! Friends said they've never been to a wedding where the dance floor was so packed, EVERYONE was dancing! The energy they brought to our wedding was magical. They were a one stop shop and handled all the music / MCing for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. This made things so easy for our destination wedding near Yellowstone, Montana. I cannot recommend this band enough, they really made our wedding the dance party we wanted! THANK YOU Decades

    Most Amazing Wedding Themed Anniversary Party Every, thanks to Decades!

    We had a wedding them for our 10 year anniversary. 190 guests and at least half the women wore wedding dresses, guys suited up. I paint that picture because the backdrop of 40 women dancing to Decades through the night was amazing. I can't say enough about how great not only the music was, but how professional and amazing the band was. We had a last minute change to the stage, "not a problem" is what I got back. They rolled with it (we had a section missing). The set up, break down, everything was amazing.. It was like we had friends on stage that even pulled my wife up to dance on stage. Made her night. Thank you Decades for helping... nay..."making" the night as spectacular as it was. We would whole heartedly recommend for any friends wedding or party.

    Extremely talented

    Decades IS the band to have for your wedding. My husband I first heard Decades at friends wedding and we were BLOWN away. So we HAD to have them at our wedding and once again, they crushed it! Sang any and every genre and got the crowd dancing the whole time! They are extremely talented and worth every penny! Thanks you for the best wedding Decades!
