    Forman Productions did an Outstanding Job

    Forman Productions did an outstanding job! They read the crowd, kept the dance floor full, and engaged the guests to keep them having a blast until the end of the night. They were so talented, professional and friendly. We couldn't recommend them enough!

    Book them now!

    Foreman 5 was absolutely incredible. They kept all of my friends on the dance floor all night long, and got people to dance who would normally NEVER be seen on the dancefloor! It was such a blast and they performed everything so incredibly. From country, to pop, to rock, every genre was done amazingly. They even learned a slower version of a song for my first dance with my husband, and it was better than we ever could have imagined! They are the best!!!

    The best band!

    I can't say enough amazing things about the Foreman's Five band! Our one must for our wedding was a great band and Foreman's Five was that and so much more. All of our guest loved the band as much as we did and the dance floor was full the entire night. They know all the best songs to play to make sure your guest have the best time. They can truly play anything!! They will make sure your wedding is a party and they are so easy to work with. If you don't hire them you are missing out!

    Ritz Carlton Naples Destination Wedding

    Wow!!! My husband and I got married exactly one month ago and are still receiving compliments re the band Foreman 5! The band really knew how to get the party started. The band adapted to our needs (took all sorts of requests and even helped MC a wild DANCE OFF).
    The singers had ANGELIC voices and I will never forget the vocals during beautiful first dance. Leading up to the event, the band was super responsive and helpful.
    I highly suggest the Foreman 5 to any couple. They are extremely talented, responsive, adaptive, friendly, energetic, and made our wedding unforgettable.

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kelly, for the kind review! We are so happy to have been allowed to be a part of your wedding day.

    Best to you and your husband from the team at Foreman Productions and the band!

    Amazing band!

    Foreman's 5 performed at our wedding this past weekend and they did an amazing job! Every musician was extremely talented. We had the saxophone and keyboard players perform for our cocktail hour and the six-piece band for our reception. They had our wedding guests dancing all night long! Brendon who is the lead guitarist and vocalist is one of the most talented musicians I have seen. The female vocalist was amazing as well. We received compliments from nearly all of our guests about how great the band was. The band manager Jim was a pleasure to work with and ensured that all of our music choices were incorporated into our big day. Jim was also able to offer us a steel drummer for our wedding ceremony (Harold Antione- he was amazing as well!) and a DJ for our after party through the entertainment and production company, Foreman Productions, Inc. Highly recommend Foreman's 5 and Foreman Productions, Inc. for your wedding entertainment!

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Thank you very much Kimberley! We are so glad to have been a part of your wedding. We wish nothing but a lifetime of happiness and success for you and your husband!

    Great group

    Our friends had a 50th wedding anniversary party and hired this band through their party planner. WOW they were great - only a three piece group tonight but they kept young and old hopping. The woman lead was outrageous and the two male guitarists were awesome

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Thank you Joel! Foreman's 5 had a blast performing for everyone at the party. We are so happy to hear you loved it. :)

    Magical and Memorable Evening

    Foreman 5 were fantastic! Everyone was on the dance floor having a ball! The band sang Happy Birthday to my niece, played the Clemson Marching Song in preparation for the Big Game, and played several of our favorite songs and artists. It was a fairytale evening and didn't want it to end!

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Thank you so much Celeste! We love it when our guests love dancing and having a great time. We hope our paths will cross again soon. Sending all our best!

    Amazing band!

    We were lucky enough to have Foreman 5 for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. They were so professional, fun, and TALENTED! Even the DJ set during the break was fantastic. We had the best time at our reception and that is largely due in part to Foreman 5. Jim Kerwin, the band's manager, couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. He was super responsive and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed from them. Hire them if you can!

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    It was our absolute pleasure, Elizabeth! Thank you so much for the kind words. It was an honor that you allowed us the opportunity to provide the soundtrack for your very special day. Wishing you and your husband the best!

    If you can get this band, get them! I have been to a lot of weddings, and this band is head and shoulders above any other band that I have seen. Even offstage, they are professional, courteous, and go the extra mile to take care of your every request. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Travis, thank you so much for your kind words. We love ensuring that our clients have a blast. :) Best wishes from the Foreman Productions team and the Foreman's 5!

    This was my first wedding to plan. Our daughter said she wanted a church service and a party! Well, this band brought the house down. We decided to put money towards a band over other things and it was so worth it! I cannot wait until my other daughter gets married so I can have them again. This entire company is fun to work with and delivers what is promised and then some! Thank you for blessing us with a night to remember!

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jody! It was such a pleasure getting to work with you, and it was an honor that you allowed us the opportunity to provide the soundtrack for your daughter's very special day. We hope to get to work with you again!

    We cannot say enough amazing things about Foreman 5. We had Brendon as our lead singer and he was nothing short of amazing. They played at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and we had 6 piece at the reception. Our friends and family are still raving weeks later about how amazing they were. They really know how to read the crowd and played the perfect mix of music. It's safe to say our dance floor was packed and everyone loved them. We highly recommend them for any event. Thank you!

    Foreman's 5's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kelsey. We were so happy to accompany you on your special day! Best wishes from the Foreman Productions team and the Foreman's 5!

    The short version of the review is this: the Foreman 5 is outstanding. There is no better way to put it. They took our reception to a whole new level and exceeded all of our expectations. When we talk to our guests about our wedding – it is the first question that comes up, “How did you find that band? They were awesome!” We do not anticipate getting married again, but if we got married another 99 times, I would hire the Foreman 5 to play at our wedding all 99 of those times.

    For a bit more detail, I believe we found the Foreman 5 via a recommendation from our venue, the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Being a bit particular about music, my fiancé and I went to go see lead singer Brendon McDonnell perform a solo set in Naples. We were instant fans. After talking with him and meeting his wife and family we immediately hired Brendon. From there, I am not clear who is a permanent member of the Foreman 5 or if there are permanent members. In any event, I added a saxophone player and was deliver a group of six excellent artists who made the reception.

    We have been to a number of weddings and seen almost as many wedding bands. I can say without bias, the Foreman 5 was the best wedding band I have experienced. The Foreman 5 learned the song for our first dance (which I have never seen done at any wedding) and executed it flawlessly – even extending the song on my request so that all of our guests would join us on the dance floor. From there, my guests stayed on the dance floor until the band stopped playing 3 hours later. I don’t remember the band taking a break because my guests never left the dance floor.

    We are life-long Brendon fans and hope we can enjoy another performance sometime. Hire this band. You absolutely will not regret it.

    Thank you so much, Charleigh. Foreman's 5 had a blast performing for you and your guests on your wedding day. We hope our paths cross again soon!

    We got married this January and had F5 play at our reception. If you want your guest to be in awe during dinner and on the dance floor all night follwing dinner AND talking about the "band at your wedding" for weeks (or maybe months) to follow, this is the band you want to book. We are BEYOND pleased with the band, definitely exceeded our expectations. They were all a pleasure to work with. They made the timeline planning very easy and helped me plan things that I didn't even think about! If you choose to have them at your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed! They are all so talented and enjoy what they do, and believe me, your guests will feel it. Brendon was a joy to work with and super professional, you can tell he has a lot of experience. They. Are. The Best. !!!

    The Foreman's 5 band was everything and more you could ever want from live entertainment especially on your wedding night. They blew us and all our guests away with their talent, the level of fun and energy they brought to the evening. People who are known to hate dancing and refuse to at most functions, did not sit down once. We feel truly lucky to have landed this band to play at our wedding. They even brought 7 members instead of their usual 5! They went above and beyond with everything, even kept playing until the resort closed it down!

    We had a few random and special requests, some coming last minute and they handled all perfectly. Brendon learned a remake to a song and performed it flawlessly for our ceremony. We also changed our first dance song last minute and that was played and performed more beautifully than the original. This group is beyond talented and truly love what they do, it shows and is contagious. It is impossible to have this band performing and not be having an unbelievable time.

    Mitch, the owner was truly wonderful to work with as well. He is vested in getting everything done correctly the first time around and always gives you an answer quickly. No question is too small or silly, he is patient, happy to help and get you answers. He set us up with our florist, the Pink Tangerine another division of the company that was absolutely a joy to work with as well. We plan on making an effort to check out their schedule when we're back in Naples, we cannot wait to hear them play again! Overall, this company offers pure talent and is a breeze and pleasure to do business with--with the most enthusiasm we recommend hiring this band and using this company for your wedding.

    Foreman's 5 were unbelievable! They played to the crowd perfectly throughout the night and even my Dad, who used to be a professional drummer, played in on 2 songs. I think we had 70+ people on the dance floor when they played 'Shut Up and Dance with Me'! Class acts all-the-way.

    Our wedding was 5/21 at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Wow were we impressed with this band! We were uncertain what to expect when planning a wedding from Pittsburgh and not getting a chance to hear the band live in person before committing but they exceeded our expectations. They provided entertainment for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They sounded amazing the entire night. We had people on the dance floor until 12:30, begging the band to stay longer. We received several compliments throughout the night. It's not what we would have expected from a local band--we were very pleasantly surprised. We highly recommend Foreman's 5 for anyone looking for a live band!

    We were told bands make wedding receptions. So once our daughter’s wedding date and venue were set, the band was the first vendor I booked. Our selected venue gave us names of bands that they have dealt with and then the process of viewing band videos began. We migrated towards Foreman Productions. They have a wonderful reputation in Southwest Florida, and represent several bands. When I called them and began dealing with Co-Owner, Mitch Rossell, I immediately knew why. On our first conversation, Mitch asked all the right questions; we discussed budget, availability, vision, instruments we like, etc. He directed us to his Foreman’s 5 band, lead by the marvelously talented Brendon McDonnell. My husband and I went to listen to Brendon one night in Naples. His acoustic guitar was soothing, and from his vocals and overall range and sound, you knew just how talented he was. However, what struck me that night was his interaction with his audience and one physically challenged individual in particular. You could just see Brendon was a good and kind person. I left convinced we found a band. The contract process and payment process with Mitch was easy. The contract was simple; signing and payment was online, making it very convenient. Surveys were sent asking about song choices, and timelines. Everything was very organized and professional. Mitch was responsive and promptly answered many, many questions. The band on the wedding day - from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to the party – was excellent. The reception party was fun and vibrant. Guests danced ALL night long. We also engaged Foreman Productions for lighting to help create an ambience that felt warm and inviting. Mitch’s attention to detail and his intentions for flawless execution were evident with this component as well. We were thrilled with our decision of booking F5. Thank you to Brendon and your talented band members! You made it a fun, memorable and amazing night.
