We had Jumpstart play at our wedding and did they bring the house down!! From them providing the sound at our ceremony to getting everyone rocking at our wedding, they did a wonderful job. We had some unique some requests and they played them like they had known the songs for years. I would recommend Jumpstart to anyone in the Tahoe/Sacramento Area. I'd even go farther and say I'd recommend them to anyone in Northern California. They were top notch! We had people coming up to us weeks after the wedding telling us how much fun the band was. We are in our early 30's and had people at the wedding from ages 16-85. They played songs everyone enjoyed! THE BEST!!

JumpStart added so much to our wedding ceremony and reception. They are an amazing collaboration of extremely talented, great spirited, non-attitude band members. They knew exactly what to play to fit the festive mood of our event! Literally, every song they played had people running to pack the dance floor. I am 100% satisfied with their performance. They are worth every penny and then some. They even played for the ceremony which was an added bonus. Everyone was so touched by their rich and soulful voices. Stan did an excellent job at MC- ing the event as well. He is a charismatic speaker and knows how to organize and time things well. This was a great asset to the evening. Added bonuses included a lot of audience participation such as having the bridesmaids jump on stage and play tambourines and sing, a solo song they let me sing with them, and letting my dad play harmonica and sing a blues tune! What fun. I highly recommend this band if you want a truly magical experience that great music can deliver. I recently attended two other receptions. One had a DJ. It was good but did not have the excitement or personal touch that LIVE entertainment delivers, especially GREAT live entertainment like JumpStart!! The other reception didn't have music at all. It was very mellow. All there was to do was talk for hours and eat. The right music and dancing adds so much more! They are truly awesome!! I will book them with out a doubt again any chance I get!

JumpStart was amazing at my wedding. Their attention to all our little details really made our party special, not to mention that all their individual talent is amazing! Their new female vocalist has an amazing voice. I was so lucky to be able to hire them! With their blow up plastic guitars for the audience, incorporating my guests, and keeping the party going...we had so much fun. Thank you thank you thank you! We didn't have to worry about a thing, such professionals!

We had an outrageously great time with Jumpstart at our wedding in July 2010! Not only was the band extremely accomodating to our needs and requests, they can really rock!! All of our guests gave us great reviews of the band and the venue staff did, too!! The only negative thing is that we live in Cleveland, and we may never get a chance to see them play again!

We hired JumpStart for our wedding. I can't count how many people came up to me, including other wedding staff, and asked me where I found this awesome band. Many people also told me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I honestly attribute most of that to JumpStart and their high level of energy and ability to pick the right song at the right time. The dance floor honestly stayed packed from start to finish. We will definately hire them again for our next party or event! Thanks again Stan and the rest of the group. You guys ROCK!

Jump Start was THE BEST!!

Jump Start was THE BEST!! We hired them for our wedding at Northstar on 9/14/2019 and could not have been happier. The dance floor was full the entire night and all our guests kept telling us how awesome the band was during our farewell brunch the next day. They even played instrumental music during dinner, so awesome! Stan was a fantastic MC and wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding or event!

They were great at our wedding. We had a few guests that I've never seen dance, and they were up dancing, and having a good time. This is a huge accomplishment.
People were on the dance floor all night, and Jumpstart kept the crowd engaged.
Most importantly, they sounded great. Couldn't have asked for a better band!!

JumpStart most certainly deserves their reputation as the best event band in the Sacramento area. Their whole operation is well practiced, extremely professional and very easy to plan with. Stan, their organizer, was very understanding and helpful in the months before our wedding and delivered on everything he promised on our big day. The energy in their act was infectious and genuine and their music was perfect for our crowd, so much so that the only two places people went during our reception were the bar and the dance floor. They produced the best performance I've ever witnessed at a public event, let alone a wedding, and I give them my highest recommendation to anyone who is lucky enough to book them.

JumpStart kept everyone dancing all night at our wedding! We have received so many compliments on how great they were. Our dance floor was like a sauna, I just couldn't believe that everyone kept dancing considering how hot it was, but JumpStart kept them going! They were a really fun, entertaining band, they love getting the bridal party up on stage and really play to the crowd. They weren't always the most responsive during the wedding planning process, but they really brought it the day of our wedding!

Integrity would help for this group

Integrity is everything…at least to some. If you have sort of unforeseen event come your way at your event, this band might not be the one to hire. It is great frustrations, the band doesn’t have to do anything and will walk away with all your money! Be careful who you hire to “entertain” your event.

JumpStart's reply:

This review came from a disgruntled bride and groom. They booked an outdoor wedding in Lake Tahoe at the end of October with absolutely no contingency plan for bad weather. Not a safe bet. The band contract clearly stated that the band must be provided with covering in case of bad weather, especially at that time of year in the mountains. No cover was provided. We set up all of our expensive equipment (which takes about 3 hours to load up to a second floor and set up) on an outdoor deck during high winds coming off the lake and freezing cold, We were still prepared to play. No sooner had it been set up it started to rain and snow. The wedding party had to abandon the dinner on the deck and tear down all the tables as everyone was getting soaked, including us and our equipment. Since they had no back up indoor contingency, 150 guests were rushed downstairs to a room which only holds 80 people so the room was wall to wall people. The band remained on the deck frantically breaking down the wet instruments and equipment before everything was completely destroyed. There was not going to be a reception on the outdoor deck. By this time it was 6pm and the hotel was booked until 8pm. They asked if we would move our wet equipment down to the room which was wall to wall people (they had to serve dinner in shifts at a few tables that were set up). I explained that it would take us at least two hours to move all our band gear and re-set up and that there was no room to do so anyway and the gear had to be dried off. The groom said he understood that it would not be possible. We agreed to provide a small sound system, Ipod music and a wireless mic in the small room so they could have some music and be able to do speeches. They were fine with this as they knew it would not be possible at that point to re set up the band given the time and lack of space. While the party was going on in that small room we were drying off all our gear and loading it out to our trailer. We stayed till the 8pm cut off and then broke down the system in the small room. All was fine with the bride and groom at that point despite the fact that the wedding was spoiled by the weather. A week later the bride called and wanted a refund. The couple were trying to recoup money from us, the hotel and the tent company who refused to set up covering because of the high winds. As a band we pay our members and hired sound tech individually for their work but we were unable to perform due to no fault of the band and therefore we were not in a position to make a refund just as the hotel and others contracted did not refund. We performed the ceremony earlier in the day and set up to play in the designated area in good faith but lack of planning by the bride and groom unfortunately was the cause of this fiasco. In our 20 years of performing this has never happened. Understandably the bride is disappointed but is taking that disappointment out on the vendors who were in no way to blame for the lack of planning.
