    Amazing Wedding band

    Hit parade is very talented and they are sure to get the party going. They communicate everything clearly and will go above and beyond to make sure the wedding runs smoothly. I would recommend this band to anyone and can’t wait to see them play live again.

    Excellent!

    These guys were excellent; Great songs and high energy! The dance floor was packed all night.

    And, in addition to entertaining us at the reception, they took care of the audio and music during the wedding as well.

    The band is what makes a wedding/reception great. Hit Parade won’t let you down!

    SO much fun. Highlight of the wedding!

    They were so great!! Nick was super flexible when we had to shift our wedding plans multiple times during Covid- I’m so appreciative that it was so easy to work with them. They were the highlight of our wedding. Such fun songs and I still have guests mention how great our band was. Definitely will recommend them to my friends getting married.

    So Much Fun!

    Hiring Hit Parade for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! They were an absolute blast and our guests loved every song they played. The only time our dance floor emptied out was when the band took a break! They were super easy to work with and we cannot recommend them enough!

    Hit Parade was everyone's favorite part of our wedding!

    Hit Parade brought incredible energy and joy to our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on how AWESOME the band was all night long. They curated an incredible set list that kept people on the dance floor the entire night. And beyond their talent, each member of the band is really kind and fun to be around. I am so grateful we had Hit Parade at our wedding--truly made the day unforgettable. 11/10 would recommend!

    The absolute BEST wedding band!

    Hit Parade was AMAZING at our October 2021 wedding. It's now been almost a month since we got married and I still have guests raving to me how much fun they had on the dancefloor. Their energy is unmatched and their set list includes the perfect mix of current songs and classic wedding hits. Not only that, they were very easy to work with and responsive in the months leading up the wedding. If youre looking to dance the night away, these are your guys!!

    Had the Dance Floor Rocking Out All Night

    Hit Parade was probably the best vendor we worked with. They were professional and understanding when the wedding was postponed and the venue changed due to covid. They customized everything for us, and most importantly, they ROCKED! I was hoping to have the reception/dancing to have more of a concert feel, and they blew away everyone’s expectations. Amanda has an incredible voice. You need to book them now if they’re available!

    Everyone was on the dance floor!

    No need to look any further, stop here and hire Hit Parade for your event now!!!

    At first, we were debating on hiring a band for our wedding however my husband had heard Hit Parade before and was persistent that we needed to have them. & I have to say he was 100% right, this was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Nick was our liaison with the band and he really took the time to get to know us, our likes and dislikes, and came up with an incredible line-up for us and our guests. Every single song fit our style and kept the party going.
    Also, not only does Hit Parade play incredible music, but they provide awesome party lighting, DJ the ceremony, cocktail hour and during breaks, and MC your event. Every aspect of their performance from start to finish was on-point. I cannot remember any other wedding I have attended that had literally every person on the dance floor, and that is exactly what happened at our wedding! Hit Parade also took the time to learn a song that was special to us and they absolutely crushed it! The vocalist, man is she good! She has incredible range and her ability to nail Every. Single. Song., we were blown away! After the wedding, we had several of our guests reached out to us wanting to know about the band and raving about their performance. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon at one of their shows!

    I could keep going on, however I'll stop here and just say again - don't look any further and hire Hit Parade for your event now!

    Amazing band!

    Vinyl Rhino was amazing. They worked with us to customize every aspect of our wedding, and had the dance floor going all night. They sounded incredible, and our guests had the best time dancing to them. We're looking forward to seeing them play more shows in the area, and can't recommend them enough! They were the best!

    Don't look any further!

    For those who prefer the bottom line up front: Vinyl Rhino will be what makes your wedding memorable and utterly amusing. At first, we were debating whether to spend the money on live music but, after the wonderful wedding the Vinyl Rhino helped us throw, we don't regret it one bit.

    Ashley and team were incredibly easy to work with from the beginning. They really took the time to get to know us (the couple), understand our vision, and figure out ways to make the entertainment fit within that. We didn't feel at all as if they were trying to push for a pre-packaged act, which was honestly one of our fears. However, they worked with us to make it all work -- to our taste and personality.

    The fact that they were not only "just the band" but all things audio, lights, DJ, and MC simplified everything for us. For each of those roles, they worked with us to ensure they were exactly what we wanted. For example, we had curated a playlist for our cocktail hour, and they didn't even ask questions, they had the playlist ready to be played exactly in the order we had told them. We very much appreciated that level of service and willingness to make our special moment indeed "our" moment -- nothing off-the-shelf, so to speak.

    It's been a few months since we got married, and at friends or family gatherings the topic is usually the "band at our wedding." Not only did Ashley sing the kind of music we enjoy ourselves and we knew our guests would enjoy as well, but she took her performance to the next level. Her joyfulness, charisma, joviality, and presence made the whole performance special -- as if we had invited a top pop artist to our wedding. She very graciously balanced entertainment and performance, deliberately and opportunely interacting with guests, thereby enhancing their "having-funness" and experience, without it being overbearing.

    In sum, we would definitely ask Vinyl Rhino "again" to perform at our wedding now with the benefit of hindsight. They made it the fun-filled, mesmerizing experience it was.

    Absolutely amazing! People still cannot stop talking about them!

    Where to begin!? I heard about Vinyl Rhino through a family friend, whose son had them perform at their wedding. After reading their song lists and watching their promo video about a million times, I decided that we absolutely needed them to perform at our wedding. Only problem was my (now) husband and I had never seen them in person! Being that we live in New Jersey and they are based out of Maryland, seeing them live wasn’t the easiest task. Long story short, my husband and his friend drove down to Maryland to see Vinyl Rhino perform and they were not disappointed. Ashley, Nick, John, and Ryan are some of the coolest and genuinely nicest people we’ve ever met… and they absolutely killed it!! My husband and I had such a blast picking out the songs for our set list and an even better time dancing the night away to them at the wedding. They even learned to play a very special song for us. The dance floor was packed the entire night. I had more people than I could possibly count come up to me asking where I found these guys. We even had people contact us asking for the bands information just because they had heard or seen someone who attended our weddings social media videos! If that hasn’t sold you yet… after our wedding was over, our venue asked if they could add Vinyl Rhino to their preferred venders list. Two months later and people are still raving about how awesome this band was!!!

    Best Wedding Band EVER

    We first encountered Vinyl Rhino at a friend's wedding, and even though we weren't engaged yet at the time my husband and I both agreed we absolutely had to have them at our wedding as well! As soon as we set a date we reached out to them immediately, and from that point on working with them was incredibly easy. Leading up to the wedding they were easy to reach, answered all of our questions in a professional, friendly, and timely manner, and took care of everything for us so we didn't have to worry about anything. We got to be involved in the music selection process, and they tailored the set to our personal tastes. Because of Vinyl Rhino, our dance floor was packed all night long. Of course my husband and I are biased in thinking it was the best wedding ever, but we heard from many guests how this was the best wedding band they've ever heard and most fun they've had at a wedding as well. We 100% recommend hiring Vinyl Rhino for your wedding - you will NOT be disappointed!

    Amazing, couldn't be better!

    This band is so much more than a band. They took care of so many things we thought we'd have to do ourselves like the procession music, the dj, announcements, and much more. Ashley was super organized and thought of everything, including things we hadn't thought of. They made our wedding incredible. Our guests had a blast and everything went sooo smoothly. I'm so glad they were a part of our unforgettable day.

    Vinyl Rhino was AMAZING

    Vinyl Rhino was absolutely incredible! From the planning stages to the ceremony and reception, this crew brings so much energy, enthusiasm, and fun that I would recommend them to everyone. We didn't hire a wedding planner, so Vinyl Rhino helped us with planning the order of events, and then kept things moving on our wedding day. We've had tons of our guests comment on how much fun they were during the reception, we couldn't agree more. This band is worth every penny and then some. Thanks guys!

    Literally the BEST BAND EVER!!!! These guys (and gal) made our ENTIRE WEDDING! From our ceremony music to cocktail hour and dinner music, and the MINUTE they started playing at the reception everyone was having a blast and dancing their butts off! They are truly the epitome of professionals and are EXCEPTIONAL! Hire this band for your wedding! Our guests are still talking about it! Absolutely one of the best/most memorable parts of our wedding! :-) Thanks Vinyl Rhino for a day/night we will never forget!

    We first heard of Vinyl Rhino on our first date where they were playing at a local bar. They were high energy, kept the crowd engaged, we knew the words to every song, and we couldn't stop dancing. It was such a fun night, we see them every chance we can get. When it was time to plan our wedding we knew they would be the ONLY band worth booking. Vinyl Rhino was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. They offer a full range of services to meet your needs. They DJ'ed our ceremony, emcee'd our announcements, and played an amazing set of all of the songs we wanted to hear, and none that we didn't. They are down to earth, accommodating, and worked directly with our other vendors to make it a smooth process. We had such an incredible time that we barely left the dance floor! Family and friends continue to express how much fun they had because of Vinyl Rhino. If you want a good time for your wedding, we HIGHLY recommend Vinyl Rhino for your wedding.

    Seriously cannot say enough about this great wedding band. They were fabulous to work with on every level and made our day amazing. They graciously travelled all the way up to NYC to play for us, and did an excellent job coordinating with us via email and FaceTime during the planning process. We have gotten so many compliments on their performance since the night of our wedding and recommend them highly!

    Friends and Family are still asking us where we found such a great band!

    If you are looking for a band that will not only play amazing, but engage the crowd than look no further. From the day we decided to have them play at our wedding they were nothing more than professional, welcoming and really listened to what we wanted. They played a wide assortment of songs ranging from pop, to rock to even Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne and let your’ s truly (the Groom) play guitar for that one. They really helped make our night special. Aside from the great playing they also did all the MC and DJ work. We just told them what songs we wanted for traditional things (walking out, bridal entrance to reception, dinner etc.) and they made sure we had it. I have been to a lot weddings with bands and DJs but It has been just about a month since we were married and my friends and family still ask me where I found such a great band. If you are looking for a wedding band that can play it all (they even learned two songs for us that were not on their set list) and will make everyone at the reception have a great time, then hire Vinyl Rhino.

    Awesome. 100% would recommend. Everything was great. Music, entertainment value, and when it started drizzling (before live music started) they even ran out of the barn with the coordinator to collect a bunch of wedding stuff (decorations, phones left in chairs, chalk boards, etc) that was getting rained on. I would absolutely hire them again and be willing to pay more to do so.

    If you're searching right now for the ultimate wedding band that will have your guests dancing and singing all night long, look no further! Vinyl Rhino was the BEST wedding band ever! They are fun, professional, detail oriented (they nailed every request!) and can put on one heck of a show. I still have people asking us "where did you find them?" and "do they play in the area?" -- they are THAT amazing. My mom called me the day after the wedding to tell me she thought the ceremony and reception were spectacular but the band was what completely made the wedding. I agree. I have cousins that never dance who danced all night with Vinyl Rhino. I can't say enough about this band except to end your search right here and book them today! Thank you VR for everything - rock on!

Thank you VR for making our special day even more amazing than we could have ever imagined!!!

    Vinyl Rhino seriously made our wedding day. We are still hearing from our guests how amazing they were and how our wedding was the best they had ever been to. From the first day we met Chris (drummer/ MC extraordinaire) and Ashley (lead vocals), they were super professional and fun. They took a real interest in getting to know us as a couple in order personalize announcements, etc... throughout the evening. Their energy is incredible and the light show, DJ and fog effects were just the icing on the cake, They have such a broad song selection, spanning multiple genres, and my guests of all ages would not leave the dance floor all night. You will not be disappointed if you book this band for your wedding. Just do it, you won't regret it!

    From the time we booked Vinyl Rhino the entire band was nothing short of professional and accommodating to our requests. I would highly recommend booking the band for your wedding/special event. They really made our special day perfect. We had a ton of fun at our wedding and attribute that to the band members which were very engaging with our guests. The entire wedding went without a hitch, thanks to Vinyl Rhino. They are awesome! Book them today!!

    I don't even know where to start.....vinyl rhino was amazing. As anyone who's planned a wedding knows, there are so many vendors to contact and coordinate with but throughout all of our interactions vinyl rhino was truly a pleasure to work with. They sounded so great, and we received many compliments on our band at the wedding. They helped make our wedding day an unforgettable one, both my husband and I cannot say enough good things about them. From Ashley who keeps the dance floor packed with her contagious energy to our awesome MC everyone in the band was wonderful. Do yourself a favor and book Vinyl Rhino for your event. They were so flexible and even started playing the DJ'd music for our cocktail hour an hour earlier than initially decided upon because our guests showed up earlier from the church.

    Book them. Book them now. Faster! You're already wasting too much time reading this! But if you insist on continuing...

    Vinyl Rhino was, simply put, the second best decision of our lives (if you can't figure out what the first was, I'm not sure how you got to this website). They were incredible throughout the entirety of our wedding planning process and even more so on our wedding day, providing both band and emcee services. We were able to customize the set list they played, and my husband even got to get up and sing with them. They had amazing energy, playing great songs from the past 4 decades that had everyone from 2 to 82 dancing along. 5.0/5.0 isn't enough. 10.0/5.0 sounds more appropriate.
