Russell Sent on 08/12/2024Stop looking for other bands
Please, please, please stop looking for other bands. This is the one.
The first question to ask yourself when looking for music for your wedding is do you want band or a DJ. In my mind, I've never been to a wedding that had a memorable DJ. It's always the energy and personality of the band that made the party for me. Feeling the live drums up close, guitar solos, vocal riffs, improvisation designed for the couple.
I looked for a band for at least a month and got really discouraged by it due to the price tag. I was about to give up when I came across IV Collective.
Professionalism: They immediately responded to my inquiry and invited me to one of their live shows that evening. This continued throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding
Talent: My God, the first performance I saw of there's was so awesome. My now wife and I stayed for the entire time. The most impressive part was their versatility. They could do everything, every genre at a high level.
Personalization: Gabe reached out to us a few weeks before the wedding with a COMPREHENSIVE list of songs that they could play. The most impressive part of the list was how current some of the song choices were. This wasn't a wedding band that was limited to old timey wedding songs. Their selection spanned the Jackson 5 and Bill Withers to Justin Timberlake and Daniel Caesar. Amazing.
The Wedding: the comment of the night was "Where did you find this band?". They killed every song, they dressed to match our black tie event, they even let my uncle spontaneously sing a reggae song for me. My wife was dancing so hard she missed the dessert table! The event was high energy the entire time because of their music and MC work.
Price: this is where the biggest difference was made. IV collective was the best band I found, but they were also the most affordable. How is that possible? My only explanation is that they are relatively new to the wedding circuit and they don't have as many performances out there on YouTube. I hope to change that in whatever little way I can with this review.
Again, just stop looking for other bands. They won't do a better job because better isn't achievable. They made such an impact on our day and we can't thank them enough. I'll be posting this review anywhere I can. -

Party of a lifetime thanks to the I.V. Collective and JasNoelle
During a once in a lifetime storm on August 9th, 2025 in Milwaukee, The I.V. Collective made our backyard wedding into an absolute party! Through rain and lightning the tunes kept us going and put a smile on everybody's face. Singer JasNoelle is absolutely amazing and made sure to keep everybody dancing! We feel incredibly lucky to have had to honor of having the I.V. Collective performance on our wedding. They definitely delivered on our biggest wish: not to have a wedding band but a GREAT band play at our wedding. We didn't want a setlist, we just wanted the band to have fun and perform as they like. They did an outstanding job!! They were professional, kind and easily adapted to the constantly changing environmental demands (due to the weather).
I would book them again for any party!! Moreover, I would pay money to go see them at a show! Thank you JasNoelle and I.V. Collective!!! -

WOW! I.V. Collective was the perfect band for our wedding! They were so so fun, had a great sound/overall vibe, and were a key element to the party! The amount of compliments I have gotten since our wedding a couple of weeks ago has been so fun!!! This group is made up of impressive musicians and true performers. We loved working with Gabriel and the whole band - couldn't recommend them enough! -

I.V. Collective were absolutely fabulous. Gabe was great, helping us during the planning phases and was super responsive to my questions/concerns. We could not have been happier with their performance and presence at our wedding. All of the guests had nothing but compliments for the group. 10/10 -

As a wedding planner, I'm always looking for outstanding talent and reliable vendors to make my clients' weddings unforgettable and special. I had the pleasure of working with Illville Vanguard, led by Gabriel Alston, at a recent Chicago wedding impacted by COVID that required flexibility and lots of communication. Not only was Gabriel communicative and organized during the planning stages, but also a standout vendor day of. The band delivered a lively, musical experience that felt jazzy, energized and perfect for this rooftop wedding overlooking the city. They also provided animated accompaniment with our DJ; either adding on to his songs or partaking in a call and response. They were so fun and will be a great addition to any wedding day seeking a really unique sound and exciting atmosphere. I can't recommend them enough!
