Lauren W. Sent on 10/27/2023Truly the Best Wedding Band!
We highly recommend The Milestone Band for your wedding or event!
They were an incredible additional to our wedding day. We booked the 3 piece jazz trio for cocktail hour and 6 piece band including one brass player (saxophone) for our reception. All of our wedding guests couldn’t stop raving about them and our dance floor was full the entire night! They were extremely talented, fun and exceeded all of our expectations.
Mark was courteous, flexible and responsive to all of our requests and questions. He went above and beyond selecting music for our night, introducing us and introducing our special dances. We are hoping to book them again for our next party! -

Isaac Sent on 10/10/2022Great band
The music was awesome! We got the 5-peice band for our weeding and everyone was loving the bands energy and sound. Mark was very responsive and on top of things before the event with communication and on the day. They know what they are doing and they rocked the house!Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Thanks so much for the kind words! You guys, and your guests were a wonderfully high energy group to play for, and we had a great time being a part of your wedding celebration! -

Best. Band. Ever.
Hiring Mark & Milestone Band for our wedding was one of the best decisions we ever made. Not a single person was sitting down the entire time they were playing & our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. They are truly such high-quality musicians and their breadth of music knowledge is incredible. Absolutely can not recommend them enough - I wish we could have a wedding all over again just to hear them play!!Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Hi Emily and Ryan,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write up this great review for the band and me! Your wedding was off the hook with a high energy crowd, great dancing, and so many music appreciators! We got tons of nice comments from your guests and it was a perfect night. You guys were wonderful to work with and to play for. All my best to you and hope to cross paths again sometime! Mark -

Wedding reception
Stop now if you are searching for the perfect event music! Mark Diamond and his band performed a jazz set on the patio during hors dourves. Then, they led my wedding guests in a night of revelry and dancing. (As my son, a jazz musician, advised: get a jazz band that can also play rock!) Except for a few of my choices, I left the playlist up to his discretion. IT WAS PERFECT! In addition, working with Mark on preparations was seamless. We consulted via phone. He understood my intentions for both the hors dourves and the dance portions. All my guests commented that “it was the best band” they had experienced at an event. A fabulous time was had by all.Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Hi Shirley,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review and for your kind words. You and your guests were wonderful to play for, and it was a pleasure to meet your son too! Best to you and hope to cross paths again! -

If you want a fun band for your wedding or any event for that matter, this is THE band. From the initial meeting, Mark made sure that he understood what we wanted to hear for our wedding in Telluride, Colorado. He has an extensive music list that encompasses many different genres. On top of that, he said he would learn some of our favorite songs. His three-piece band with a stand-up bass player, let me repeat, a stand-up bass player, cranked out some of our favorite jams. He played music we danced fast to as well slow. At one point I was jumping a glowing jump rope while we were all engulfed with bubbles from a plethora of bubble guns all fueled by the power of the Mark Diamond Trio (MDT). Bottom line is that you can’t go wrong with the MDT. From his communication to the final performance it was masterpiece.Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Hi Chuck,
I so appreciate your words of gratitude for my services as a band leader, and for our music! It means a lot to me when the people we play for enjoy what we do so much! You, Ashlyn, and all of your family and friends were a fantastic group to play for, and the amazing setting in Telluride was an added bonus to the experience! I also thank Lynn for reaching out to me, and she was always great to speak with! On behalf of The DEF TRIO, I wish you guys the best and hope to someday cross paths again! Mark -

Aaron E. Sent on 10/14/2022Mark and the Band - Best Experience
Mark is a legend. We hired him and his Milestone band for our wedding and I really really really recommend Mark and the players he works with. The experience was a delight from our first conversation to sadly saying goodbyes at the end of a perfect night. The music was absolute fire and the band simply grooves and rocks, all the things. True professionals, experts in their craft. They played an electric 15-minute hora and 2 really versatile sets that covered so much musical ground. They were just really fun. You will really enjoy working with Mark and the band.Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Hi Aaron and Dana, You guys, and your group of family and friends were so great to play for! And, your theme for the wedding made it an extra unique and wonderful time! We may not see each other often, but I will consider us friends! Thanks for your kind words and hope to cross paths again with you sometime! All my best to you both! -

Melissa P. Sent on 11/07/2021Look No Further! Mark Diamond Music / The Milestone Band are the best!
My husband and I hired Mark’s musicians and his band, the Milestone (5 piece band), for our wedding in Colorado this past August. Not only did Mark provide the band, The Milestone, for our amazing wedding reception but he also provided musicians for our Ceremony and Cocktail Hour and Mark himself played in all 3 events! Mark is a jack of all trades and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else on our big day. Not only did we work with Mark to coordinate and manage all 3 events, but he also provided song recommendations, had several planning phone calls with us leading up to our wedding, coordinated a song with my sister as she sang while I walked down the aisle during the ceremony, played in all 3 events, helped MC when the bridal party entered the wedding reception room and passed off the mic in-between speeches during dinner! Mark is very professional, personable, organized, prompt, experienced, wonderful to work with, and is an amazing musician. He made us feel very comfortable from day 1 and instantly earned our trust to perform all music for our wedding. The Milestone were a huge hit at our wedding reception and guests were talking about the band for several days after! The dance floor was packed with friends and family dancing all night and our guests didn’t want the music to end! Mark’s band has over 1,000 songs to choose from, and they even learned 1 new song for our wedding reception which was a blast! In fact, my best friend loved Mark and the band so much that her and her husband booked The Milestone for their wedding in Colorado this April 2022. We are so excited for this wedding and can’t wait to see Mark and The Milestone again! We would highly recommend Mark Diamond Music / The Milestone for any events, especially weddings, as they are the best and Mark is great to work with, so look no further!Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Melissa and Chase,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review! It means a lot to me when the people we play for enjoy the music and are happy with how everything went. That's the goal for sure! On behalf of all of Milestone, much appreciation and take care till next time! Mark -

Highlight of the Night
Wow! What a class act. Mark Diamond and the Milestone Band single handedly made our wedding an unforgettable event. They are so versatile, playing Van Morrison during cocktail hour, Miles Davis during dinner and Led Zeppelin during the reception. All our guests commented that the band was the highlight of the night. I would recommend Mark time and time again. Thank you so much!Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Kaiti and Matt, you guys were fantastic to work with, the wedding was in one of the most amazing places we’ve ever played, and your group of people were wonderful and had great energy! Thanks for having us as a part of your most special day, and I hope to cross paths with you again down the road! -

Molly M. Sent on 11/30/2021Mark Diamond for the WIN!
Mark and his band absolutely crushed it at our wedding. There were some sound restrictions they had to comply with and it was absolutely flawless. The repertoire selection is just as impressive. Mark was nothing but professional and friendly through the headache of wedding planning during a pandemic. Thanks, Mark!Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Thanks so much, Molly! It was an honor and a pleasure to be a part of your special day! You guys were great to work with and I hope we cross paths again down the road!!! -

Jenny Sent on 12/17/2022Takes your event to the next level!
We hired Mark and the DEF Trio band to play at our wedding in July and they were FANTASTIC! Guests from my wedding are still talking about how great the music was! People were dancing before the dance floor even opened, and I don't think the band took a single break because they saw how much everyone was enjoying themselves!
Mark was able to read the crowd, played excellent music, and kept the evening going to the schedule that he and I had crafted together! I didn't have a wedding coordinator and so he was able to talk me through everything -- offered great recommendations and listened to my vision! He is obviously very experienced in making special events incredibly special and we would 110% recommend for your next event! Thank you Mark!!Mark Diamond Music's reply:
Hi Jenny,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this very nice review! You and your guests were a wonderfully high energy group and it was so great to be a part of your special day! All my best to you!!!! -
User1845827 Sent on 10/05/2014Dear Mark, I wanted to take the time to tell you how perfect the band was on my daughter's special day. Your expertise and advice in planing many of the wedding details was invaluable, and really helped the ceremony and reception go perfectly. You have obviously done this a time or two : ) The music was incredible and everyone commented on how good you were. Your energy as an MC for the first dance and cake cutting really made everyone feel comfortable and my daughter said you and your band were one of the best parts of the wedding. The fact that you all learned their special song meant a lot. I would highly recommend you for any event. Thanks so much! -
