    Absolutely incredible!

    Hero sure knows how to put on a show! I received SO many compliments on how much fun they had at my wedding due to the incredible band! I can't recommend them enough. Jon was so easy to work with and sent phone calls periodically throughout the wedding process to make sure they were following everything in my vision. They were also able to make accommodations by downloading a few songs for the introductions! Thank you so much for everything!!

    Epic band - epic night!

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Hero! From the very beginning, Jon went out of his way to get to know my husband and I, which was very helpful because he was easily able to select the type of music we would want to hear based on our personalities without us having to give him any direction. We completely trusted him and his band on their song choices. We had several check-in's throughout the 6 months leading up to our wedding where we discussed timeline, songs, etc. We had complete trust in Hero to deliver! On our wedding day, they showed up early to set-up and sound check and were very easy to work with. At the reception, they had everyone on their feet the entire time - from 5 year olds to 80 year olds. Everyone kept coming up to us telling us how awesome the band was (which we already knew) and it has been 3 weeks since our wedding and we are STILL getting calls, texts, emails about how much fun everyone had with the band. Their energy is ridiculously infectious and they played a wide array of music which helped keep everyone's interest. If we had to do it all over again, we would 100% work with Hero again! Jon has become our friend and we plan to keep in touch with him!

    Hero just performed this past weekend for my sons wedding in Washington DC. They engaged the crowd from the very first song of the night. It was the first time at a wedding where the crowd shouted for a encore. They truly know how to keep a party going. Just the best band.

    We had contacted Jon since his services were recommended to us. He provided us with a fantastic DJ, DJ Debbie who was fantastic. She sat down us, went over what we wanted to hear/didn't want to hear, and coordinated everything with our wedding coordinator. the day of the event she played a fantastic set of music which included some of our choices as well as some she picked. Dance floor was packed all night. What was really great is even when some requests were made by guests that were on the "no fly list" she let us know during the reception and stuck to her guns. Music and food were the most important parts of our wedding and they both lived up to the hype.

    Hero Band! Not only are they an amazing group of talented singers/performers, but they have a great sense of humor too. Once they get the party started, it never stops. If you're lucky enough to book them, you won't be disappointed!

    Hero was a big part of a GREAT wedding! The dance floor was packed from beginning to end. Everyone commented on how good the band was. The song selection was excellent, with a lot of contemporary, upbeat music. We enjoyed how the members of the band mingled with the crowd, helping to encourage participation. We appreciated that the band gave the floor to the various speeches and various antics that occurred throughout the night. The wedding was a big hit all around, and Hero's role was a huge part of it.

    One of the best days of my life was being a guest at this wedding and dancing to the fabulous music delivered by this group - Hero. Not only were they the most entertaining band at any wedding I've attended but they got everyone out of their seats and dancing. The vocals sounded even better than Taylor Swift or Macklemore and certainly more engaging then any concert I've attended. The best part was that the lead singer came onto the dance floor and encouraged me to sing. I've already booked them for my own wedding in June and can't wait!

    We booked Hero for our wedding at the Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD. They came highly recommended, and the delivered! Not only was Jon very responsive to us (met with us twice, returned phone calls and emails in a timely fashion, etc), but they made the wedding SO fun! Their song choices were excellent, and they even let my brother, who is an experienced drummer, play with the band! Everyone commented to me later that the band was fantastic. It was also mentioned to me that rarely do you see people on the dance floor all night, but at my wedding everyone danced all night. By the time 11 o'clock came around I was shocked because I was having so much fun dancing (and i hate dancing!) that time flew. They were so great, and so interactive, and so fun! The wedding would not have been such a success without them!

    Hero played for my wedding and they were phenomenal! The majority of compliments I received on my wedding were about Hero, everyone LOVED them. Jon is an utmost professional. He is super professional and responsive throughout the booking and planning process. And then the night of the wedding the band rocked it! Thank you Jon Goska, and the other members of Hero!

    Hero Entertainment, and more specifically, DJ Ian, was suggested to me by our wedding coordinator at the Hunt Valley Golf Club. She said that DJ Ian had done many events for them and that he was great.

    My husband and I could not have been happier with DJ Ian. We provided Ian with a list of music that we wanted and songs we did not want. Ian made sure to play the type of music we wanted, but also played to the crowd. You can tell he loves what he does! Numerous people came up to me and told me what a great DJ we had and that they loved the music. It was a great party.

    The best compliment came from my Mom who wanted us to have a band. She told me afterwards that she LOVED DJ Ian.

    You will not be disappointed!

    We recently used DJ Ian from Hero Entertainment for our wedding reception and we are so very happy that we did! Ian was a great DJ and all of our guests commented about how great the music was! You will not be sorry if Ian DJ's your next event. Our guests danced the entire night!!!!

    The band was amazing. EVERYONE at our wedding at the Four Seasons said it was the best band they have ever heard. No one sat down the whole reception they just danced and danced and danced. Even people who had had their own weddings could not say enough about the band. The band members are all so personable and engaging and their voices are indescribably perfect. We were so lucky to have them at my daughters wedding. The one thing she wanted, besides a perfect husband, was an outstanding band and she sure got that. Jon is so easy to work with and has super ideas!! Can never thank them enough. I hope our guests remember other things about the wedding too.

    They were so accomodating in the planning of the wedding, responsive to all of our detailed requests. At the wedding, they exceeded our expectations, were so energetic, really got the party started and kept it going the ENTIRE evening. My guests were all so impressed by the sound quality, the songs, the transition from dancing, eating, toasts, etc. There WAS NOT a dull moment. Everything was EXACTLY as Jon (Goska) had promised, and I felt it was a PERFECT day!! I could not have asked for anything more, and if I have another event requiring a band, then I will definintely call on HERO entertainment.

    We used Hero entertainment's band Paradise and they were fabulous. The dance floor was packed all night. Before the event the band leader worked so hard to accomidate ALL of our many song requests and traditional greek and jewish music. They even learned our first song for us. It was a fabulous evening. I highly recommend!

    Hero made my wedding so much fun! They are truly a very talented group of people. They really know what songs to sing to get a crowd up and moving! They even learned two specific Elvis songs to be played for my dad at the wedding. They were absolutely fabulous and had everyone up and singing and wanting more. People are still talking about what a great band I had at my wedding. I would highly recommend Hero! They were PHENOMENAL!!!!!

    Jon, of Hero Entertainment was excellent! We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary at the MGCC in Bel Air Maryland and wanted a combo that could play traditional Big Band dance music as well as soft dinner music and some 50's rock and roll. The combo that Jon sent us was perfect! They played all our requests to perfection. Music can make or break a party and Hero Entertainment made ours. Thanks Jon for sending us just the right musicians for our celebration.

    All Ican say is amazing absolutely profession and great fun. We booked them after seeing many other bands and my daughter was against having a band but we wanted one. John was so flexible with providing us with DJ as well as his amazing band. Everyone at our event wanted to know who the band was as they had everyone up on the dance floor. Two days prior to our event I decided that i wanted to go an extra hour and he was open to helping me with this as well. I am in the catering business and I would not hesitate to recommend Hero in any capacity. They were perfect. I want to have another event just so we can use them again. Thanks for making our daughters wedding as great as it was.

    When I fist pictured my wedding I thought I only wanted a DJ, my mother, however was dead set on having a band. I made a deal with her, if she found a band that I approved of we could have both a band and a DJ. After looking at a few bands that I was not at all interested in we went to see Hero perform. Hero knew the music that they did well and were so willing to listen to what I wanted. I am not a fan of bands covering todays pop/rap songs, I just don't think it sounds as good. When I expressed those feelings to Jon he completely understood what I was talking about and assured me if thats what I wanted he would take care of it. Other bands got offended when I told them that I wanted a DJ in addition to the band but Jon offered us one of his DJ's. Both the Band and the DJ were perfect. The Dance floor was constantly packed with people and the mix of music was just how I imagined it. Jon and his team made everything so easy and I could not have asked for anything more!

    Hero is such a blast. I've worked with them several times in the past and John is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that the client is getting everything they ask for. I worked as a wedding planner and would always recommend Hero to my brides. They were always blown away with the band and DJs. I've never had a negative review of their services!

    Attended a wedding where the band Hero performed. There was never a time when the dance floor wasn't full. The band totally engaged the audience throughout the entire evening. They were all very professional and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. They are fabulous entertainers. Really made for a wonderful event. We had many of our guests ask for their contact information.

    Hero Entertainment is simply the best wedding band out there. Each member of the band brings their own energy and talent and the combination of all of them is out of this world. The dance floor was full the entire event and Jon and his singers kept the crowd engaged and laughing throughout the evening. We could not have asked for more!

    I can't say enough about Hero. I have to say they really topped off our wedding and made it that much better. From day one with talking to Jon, he had us so excited and ready to party. The band covered so many different genres of music and kept the night going and guests out of their seats. All the guests were on the dance floor the whole night and are still raving about Hero. I couldn't be happier with our choice to have a band and then for our choice in Hero. I highly recommend them for weddings and any other event where you want to dance and party all night long!

    Hero played at our recent wedding and we were thrilled with their performance! They were very lively and kept our guests dancing the entire night. We loved that they were also interactive with the party and came right out on the dance floor. Hero has a knack for feeling-out the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time. Not to mention their voices and instrumentals are phenomenal!

    Jon and all of the band members were really attentive to our music preferences and how we wanted the night to flow. They also offered helpful suggestions to keep everything running smoothly. Many of our guests (from all generations) commented on how great they were. Hero really made our wedding day special and memorable and I would recommend them to anyone! What a quality band!
