    Encore for encore

    Every single person described as our wedding as ELECTRIC and that is a huge KUDOS to the band Encore! I cannot describe how so beyond incredible they were and how they matched and brought the energy that our party had. We were a HUGE dance group - did not leave the dance floor once and the band did not stop at ALL!!! Ethan - the band leader - is a GEM and he rocked it all night and understood exactly what we were looking for and went beyond our wildeset expectations. I wanted to have the sax on the dance floor and the sax was on the dance floor jumping and dancing with us so many times. I can go on and on about how amazing Encore was. So many people told us this was the best wedding they have ever been to in their life. We have so much to be thankful for. BOOK ENCORE! You will not regret it!!! Thank you Hank Lane and Russ!!!!!

    Can't say enough good things about Luxe!!!

    My partner and I just had our wedding at Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn, and Luxe absolutely positively knocked it out of the park. They were PERFECT. From start to finish, Frank was an absolute PLEASURE to work with. With Luxe, you are not only hiring a flawless band, but also basically a party planner that will help you map out the whole night / the timeline to keep your guests energized and on the dance floor. He is as meticulous as you can get when it comes to wedding details, and he knows EXACTLY what to do (and not do!) to keep a party going. And if you have any creative ideas that you want to bring to the table, he'll help you make your ideas come to life in the best possible way all while keeping the party going. From the little pieces of advice he gave us to amp up our reception entrances, to answering all of our questions on timing / scheduling in the weeks leading up to the wedding (and making us feel comfortable asking so many questions in the first place), to making sure the ceremony music transitioned seamlessly and the parent dances covered the right parts of the songs, to playing the exact music we asked for, I could go on and on and on, they were literally perfect from start to finish. Luxe had our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Not to mention the mash-ups in the last dance set, which were straight fire. Guests were raving about the band and kept asking for their name to look them up and recommend them to other newlywed friends (which is no surprise, since WE hired them after seeing them perform at OUR friend's wedding at the Yale Club, and the same thing happened then too). We genuinely cannot imagine how any wedding band could be better than Luxe. Seriously. We had a tight budget for our wedding-- but agreed early on that the band is the one thing we would splurge on-- and we are SO glad we did.


    Thank you thank you thank you Frank and the entire band from the very bottom of our hearts!!!! You made our wedding somehow even greater than we ever could have imagined, and we are eternally grateful. We can't say enough good things about Luxe!!

    Marcus Reid Best Band Ever!!!!!!!!!

    Marcus Reid Band truly made our wedding the best night of our lives!!! We got engaged in September 2022, booked Liberty Warehouse October 2022, and booked Marcus through Hank Lane 2 weeks later. He came highly recommend from Jeff @ Liberty Warehouse. We’ve never been to a wedding of Marcus Reid Band before but heard amazing things. Based on what we saw on our call with Hank Lane and heard my expectations were high… but they completely blew our minds!!! Marcus and the band were incredible. They were all SO SO talented. The icing on the cake was the horns and Marcus on the dance floor! The amount of texts and messages I got about best wedding ever and BEST band ever. They brought the energy we needed and had people dancing all night long which is exactly what we wanted. We are so grateful!! It’s crazy how big of an impact Marcus Reid Band made on our lives. When we think back on our wedding day, they will always be in our fondest memories. Choosing Marcus Reid as the band was the most important decision to us and we can’t thank them enough!! Everything I dreamed of. Hank Lane was incredibly easy to work with, answered all my questions, and were quick to respond.

    Dylan matthews band

    You absolutely NEED to book the Dylan Matthews band if you want your wedding to be the biggest party of the YEAR!

    We booked the Dylan Matthews band after having the time of our lives dancing at my best friend’s wedding. They rocked the whole night with a variety of music and mashups!

    Now, after hiring the Dylan Matthews band for my own wedding, I cannot fully express in words how much everyone was RAVING about the band at the wedding itself and even now—a week later! They are not just a band, they are an EXPERIENCE!

    I’ll say this: two of our friends are getting married in October and spoke to the band about hiring them for their wedding. If that’s not a five star review, I don’t know what is.

    We love you guys! Hope to continue the party with you this fall!

    Spotlight band

    The Spotlight band was amazing. From the second the wedding started to the very end people were non stop dancing. The dance floor was never empty and the band members were so friendly and fun! We cannot recommend this band enough. You NEED to book them for your event. Our guests are still talking about the band and will continue to talk about them because of how amazing they were!

    Frank Simmons Band was incredible!

    The Frank Simmons Band, part of Hank Lane, was incredible at our wedding on April 13, 2024! The entire night they brought the energy and kept everyone on their feet the entire time. The ten-piece band brought such great vibes, and they even got in on the dance floor action, making it feel like a private concert just for us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how awesome they were, saying it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. Frank and the Hank Lane team were great to work with. Additionally, the strings and piano player they provided for our ceremony and cocktail hour were the perfect touch.

    Hiring them was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day!

    Overdrive - book them!

    We had the incredible OVERDRIVE band at our wedding on April 13th and they absolutely went above and beyond. Plenty of friends have used various other Hank Lane bands for their own weddings so this was our first in person experience with the group and we were blown away. So much fun and kept the dance floor absolutely packed. Book them!

    Steve delisi band!

    Words cannot express the incredible talent, professionalism, vibe, etc etc of the Steve Delisi band. They were simply UNBELIEVABLE. They played hit, after hit, after hit. There was never a moment where people weren't up and dancing and having the best time of their lives. It was the night of our lives - just perfect.

    We cannot thank your team and the band enough for making our night the most special one ever. Will be recommending not only Hank Lane, but specifically Steve Delisi band to anyone that will listen to us until forever.

    Frank Simmons Band made our wedding unforgettable - could not recommend them more!

    Our #1 most important thing when planning our wedding was live music. We looked at ~20 top bands in the NY/NJ area, and after seeing Frank Simmons Band's video we knew we wanted to have them. It ended up being the best decision.

    Frank and his team were incredibly attentive/responsive and played to the exact type of vibe/party we wanted (a mix of throwbacks and new-age stuff). Our dance floor was packed all night which is what we wanted, and Frank and his team executed things perfectly.

    Multiple people told us after the wedding how amazing and versatile they were. I would recommend them 10/10 to keep your dance floor packed all night and make your wedding night memorable.

    Thank you Frank and the team!!

    Book book book - liberty band

    DO NOT HESISTATE TO BOOK!!
    My mom went to a previous wedding with the band Liberty with Hank Lane and she told us they would not disappoint and she was right!!! The band was the best part about our wedding. They followed our suggested songs to make the perfect setlist and we could not have been happier. Days after our wedding our friends and family cannot stop talking about the band.

    There will be no regrets the day after your wedding when you book Liberty!

    Spotlight band - incredible!

    We worked with Spotlight/Hank Lane Music for our Dec 2023 wedding. Five months later, our guests are STILL raving about how amazing the music was at our event! Spotlight was truly phenomenal, keeping the dance floor full of guests of all ages at every point of the night. They did a great job customizing some of our music selections and interacting with guests the whole night. They were so fun! Leading up to the big day, all the Hank Lane staff was a dream to work with. Kind, professional, responsive, and flexible with every decision. This will be some of the best money spent on your wedding, go with Hank Lane!

    The Incredible Marcus Reid Band

    The Marcus Reid Band absolutely rocked my daughter’s wedding Saturday night. They were incredible. Marcus went over and beyond to make the wedding at The Heritage Club (amazing venue) the greatest. The energy, musicianship, vocals and Vibe were so good I would pay to see them perform in concert. Marcus is also kind, humble and an absolute gentleman to deal with. Thank you!!!

    Best Wedding DJ EVER

    There are no words for DJ Phil and his team - our wedding dance floor was NEVER empty from the moment the music started until the last song. Phil made the planning so easy and fun, each call was like talking to a friend and he got our vibe completely. We told him we wanted a raging party and he delivered, our guests absolutely loved the music and we had the best time. In addition to that the ceremony and cocktail music was exactly what we wanted, and highly customized to our taste, which was amazing. Thank you, Phil and team for giving us the NYE party we wanted!

    They ARE the Party

    We hosted a New Year’s Eve reception after eloping earlier this year, and knew we needed to deliver on the party for all our favorite people. Hank Lane delivered everything we could have asked for and more.

    Ovation shared the most incredible energy, and beautiful music that just kept the energy going all night long. Every time we went to speak to a guest, another incredible song would come on and call us all back to the dance floor! They are responsive, professional, and mind readers. Their range is incredible, from Dua Lipa to Elton John, Salt-n-Pepa, Louis Armstrong, Britney Spears, to John Bon Jovi - they made it the most memorable night.

    We’re so grateful for them and their insane talent.

    Frank simmons band brought the house down

    FRANK SIMMONS BAND WILL MAKE YOUR NIGHT UNFORGETTABLE! Wow, it has been a few weeks since our wedding and we cannot stop talking about The Frank Simmons Band. Our venue, Crystal Plaza, highly recommended this band and we are SO happy we booked them.

    Everyone we worked with at Hank Lane from Ian in Sales, to Russ to help walk through our music tastes, to Frank and the band- everyone is amazing. Their #1 goal is to make sure you have an incredible night and a FUN time!

    Our dance floor was packed the entire night, so much so that guests refused to leave! Our friends and family cannot get over how great the band was- they felt like they were at a concert. Frank Simmons Band is THE best to book for the best wedding ever!!!

    The best wedding band!!!

    Kevin Osborne and his band where UNBELIEVABLE! When we met with the Hank Lane team, they listened to what we wanted, offered up multiple options and told us we would end up working with Kevin, and they were so right. He was incredible! Perfectly matched for us, played all of our favorite songs, an absolute breeze to work with and every member of his band was fantastic. The horns were amazing! Our wedding was full of people who love to dance and Kevin and his band kept the dance floor packed all night!!!

    Amazing energy and such talented musicians!

    Hank Lane was so great to work with. We went with the band Octane and they were the life of the party! All the musicians were so talented and they executed all our preferences flawlessly! They were also our sound system for our ceremony which lessened all the stress for set up and also played during our cocktail hour. We were so picky about our music and band and Octane was very accommodating and more than we could have asked for!

    Highly recommend to those wanting a band.

    We are so glad we chose Hank Lane Music for our wedding! Their professionalism was apparent as soon as we started working with them. After filling out some initial details, we went with The Russ Bennett Band for our wedding at the Rockleigh, NJ. Russ and his team were very knowledgeable and generous as we worked together to create our perfect day. Then there's the talent. WOW! They had everyone up and dancing. Also they were very timely and appropriate with their announcements. Big thanks to Russ and his team for their terrific work!

    The Jenna Wynne Band was absolutely phenomenal

    We knew the Jenna Wynne Band was going to be absolutely incredible for our wedding, but Jenna and her band beyond exceeded any expectations we had. They were PHENOMENAL. Everyone at our wedding was talking about how blown away they were by the talent and energy they kept up for our entire night. It's a week later now and we still have friends mentioning Jenna and her band to us. Our wedding would not have been anywhere near as special without them.

    Dylan matthews - best wedding band of all time

    We had seen the Dylan Matthews band 2 years ago at a friend's wedding (before we were engaged) and said when we get married - this would be our band. We just got married this past Saturday - and of course, we had the Dylan Matthew band. Our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night, guests could not believe how incredible the band was - they were complimenting them on the dance floor and have not stopped calling and texting to rave about them. Many said they would love to go to a concert of theirs. Some of our friends were saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to! (Including friends who just got married!) We worked closely with Brian (drummer) to execute our first dance vision and he couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. When we had our call with Dylan the week of the wedding we knew we were in the best hands and it would be an unforgettable evening. Even our venue said the next morning - the band was INCREDIBLE and unlike anything they've seen! CANNOT RECOMMEND DYLAN MATTHEWS ENOUGH!!!!

So incredible- everyone’s voice and the music was just PHENOMENAL! We are just so sad we didn’t have the chance to personally thank each one of you. We’d love to be able to do that and let every member of the band know. The range of everyone’s voices- just WOW! And coming down into the crowd with the sax, singing, guitar! Literally I just cannot even express our gratitude for making it just the BEST day of our lives! I feel like we’re forever going to hear your amazing sound and just want to keep dancing! It was a concert! And thanks for having us up on stage- we felt like celebrities and we got to sing on the mic too!! You even with our extra hour of time, got the whole crowd dancing again and did an insane encore! We didn’t want it to stop!! Thank you thank you thank you for being so unbelievably incredible and truly one of the best parts of our day xoxox well totally make sure to share this feeling with others and recommend you to anyone and everyone!!!!

    Incredible!!!

    Brooklyn Sound is an absolute incredible wedding band. All of our guests were commenting on how amazing they were and we didn’t stop dancing the whole night. They were easy to coordinate with and listened to our preferences and selections. We would highly recommend them!

    We love you Clara Jordan Band!

    Clara Jordan’s band was absolutely phenomenal during our wedding. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the main event, every moment was incredible and better than we could have imagined. We, along with our family and guests, cannot stop talking about how well the band performed every song, kept the energy in the room high, coordinated all of the intermission photos/slow dances, etc. They were truly amazing and we recommend them without hesitation. In addition, the rest of the team (Ian, Stephanie, and others) made this process so easy and enjoyable for us. They helped us with the decision to book CJ Band, contract Q/As, and everything else along the way. We cannot thank them enough!

    We love the Russ Bennett Band!!

    We had the Russ Bennett Band at our wedding in September 2023 and it was the best money spent! Russ worked with us leading up to the event and was so gracious and attentive on the day of. Our guests could not stop commenting on the band and how fabulous they sounded and the energy they brought! People were on the dance floor all night and were totally blown away by the talent. Book them, it will ABSOLUTELY be worth it!
