    Oh What A Night in NYC !

    When deciding on a wedding band you must consider what type of wedding you want to have. Do you want it to be fun, memorable and have everyone walking away saying, "that was the best wedding I have ever attended. If the answer to those questions is YES, then The Marquee Band is for you. We have been fans for years, having seen them down the Jersey Shore, and asked if they would come into Manhattan for our son's wedding. They were more than accomadating and looked like a million dollars ! Played all the songs the younger generation wanted, with my only regret being not eating the wedding cake because everyone was on the floor dancing all night !! Highly recommend. The singers are amazing and the band is top shelf.

    Great wedding with Marquee Band!

    We originally explored booking a band through an agency but heard about Marquee band from friends. Booking Marquee was one of the BEST wedding decisions we made and their 10 piece band was AMAZING! Everyone at our wedding had a such a fun time and danced the entire night!

    We worked with a band member Karl, who was incredibly responsive and was able to quickly pivot when both myself and my husband changed our parents song two weeks before our wedding.

    We did our last dance and our guests were chanting for an encore, this resulting in my husband crowd surfing to Bruce Springsteen. Couldn't recommend them enough!

    The best wedding band ever.

    Let me just say, Marquee is the best wedding band out there.

    They had people who don’t dance, dancing! All. Night. Long. I personally probably burned more calories dancing/jumping than in any of my weekly workout classes.

    The atmosphere they created was electric and we couldn't have asked for a better group to perform for our 240 wedding guests. From the piano playing in the main lobby, to the ceremony music, cocktail hour and even our very last song (Mr. Brightside), they were nothing short of phenomenal. The way they seamlessly blended different genres and kept the energy high was impressive. It was evident that each band member poured their heart and soul into every song and it was so fun to be involved in some of it up front with them!

    We appreciate the miles they went to ensure the music was tailored to our tastes and of course the extra miles they drove to get to our wedding venue in Bergen County. Someone looked at me and said “this is the best band I’ve ever heard before” and I proudly said “they came from south Jersey”

    Their talent, professionalism, and enthusiasm were top notch - we'll never forget it. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had them as our wedding band, and will cherish the moments they helped create for a lifetime.

    The Talk of Our Wedding!!

    Marquee is AMAZING. They were the highlight of our night. The music was incredible and the singers are top notch. Our families were SO impressed and are still talking about how phenomenal Band Marquee is. They had our family and friends up and dancing before we did our entrance! Highly recommend! Thank you for such an amazing night.

    I would recommend Marquee in a heartbeat!

    Marquee was truly incredible! They were extremely flexible about what songs we wanted played (and not played), learned a few new songs that we requested, and had the entire dance floor filled all night. They were also very interactive with the crowd and brought an unbelievable energy to the reception.

    Absolutely amazing band!

    So many of our guests are still talking about the band a week later. They were incredible, packed the dance floor the entire time, and were terrific about responding to last minute changes (like the kind that happen at every wedding). Absolutely incredible!

    Star of the Show!

    Marquee was the star of the show at our wedding! I never left the dance floor. It was my top priority as a bride to have an amazing band and create that party life atmosphere and that is exactly what Marquee did. They nailed each and everyone one of our special requests. My family is huge live music fans and they lived up to the role. From our first dances to the extra hour of reception we added on, Marquee was on point. They had everyone dancing or enjoying from a distance. They are a great group of people to work with! Hope to see Marquee out and about soon!

    Best wedding band we could have dreamed of!

    We had an incredible experience with Marquee as our wedding band and really think they made our wedding day as great as it was! We received so much positive feedback on our guests on how much they loved the band at our wedding, and so many guests commented about how they had never seen so many guests on the dance floor, which we truly feel was due to the talent of Marquee! They were so easy to work with and provided a tailored service for us, asking all of the right questions to ensure we had the experience we wanted and making changes based on what we wanted along the way. The band truly knew how to read the crowd and knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dance floor. They were incredible during cocktail hour, dinner, and after dinner when they really got the energy up! Additionally, they learned several songs just for our wedding, including creating a customized version of our first dance song for us (as we wanted an acoustic version of a rock song) and learning a song that was very special to my family. We truly believe Marquee is the best wedding band out there and are so happy we were able to meet and work with them - they really made our wedding celebration so special!

    Wedding of Rory & Samantha

    Marquee was fantastic! We had seen Marquee at another wedding, then at the Windrift. Their flow of music is perfect! Our dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. We didn’t want the night to end. Thank you Marquee for helping our son’s wedding be so special!!

    The best part of my wedding

    You will not find a better wedding band. They literally made my night and everyone who attended is still talking about them…. Incredible vocals, insane horn section, and they are super communicative… worked with me on everything… I couldn’t be more thankful. Beat day ever *because of Marquee*.

    Too much fun for words

    We hired Marquee for our December 1 wedding and everyone raved about the band. They have a great sound and they really created a sense of fun and excitement to our wedding. They were very open to our suggestions and made some very good ones of their own. They were definitely worth every penny.

    Marquee was the perfect entertainment for our August wedding. The band leader, Karl, is very responsive and made accommodations to schedule evening calls since we were planning our wedding from across the country. He was honest and able to secure a replacement quickly for one of the band members when a family emergency occurred the week of our wedding. He had great insight and gave direction for the most optimal flow of the reception. The music was fantastic and the band played the classics and the new stuff so well! Highly recommend if you're looking for a band that will have your guests on the dance floor ALL night!

    It was a pleasure to work with Marquee. It was the 4th time my family decided to use them, and they did not disappoint. The feedback we got back from our wedding guest was amazing, and they were on their feet dancing the whole night. Thank you Marquee!!

    We looked at Bands and DJs for our wedding and I really wasn't sure which to go. But, then I came across Marquee's website and fell in love with their music. Working with Karl and Marquee Band was so great!! Our ceremony and cocktail hour were lovely with the live music and they MADE our reception - what a great party!!! Our guests were on the dance floor ALL night long - before they even started serving food. They were so much fun, we loved all of the music and they even learned how to play our first dance song for us, which was so special. Thank you so much!

    Marquee was absolutely amazing during our wedding. The bandleader Karl was extremely responsive, and he was able to take my suggestions and combine them with his expertise; it was a fabulous collaboration.
    The band was incredible - we actually had people googling them during dinner to find out more info. I think we received more compliments on them than anything else.

    Don't even look any further for any other band - you will not go wrong hiring Marquee!

    Everyone from my wedding is still talking about Marquee. From the start, Karl was so easy to work with, and I didn't have a doubt in my mind that he and all of Marquee would deliver just as wonderfully.

    I can't thank them enough for making mine and my husband's day unforgettable. We were completely blown away by the band and all of their talents. Everything was perfect, from the big things to the smallest details. The band catered to the crowd so well—I took a moment to sit and look, and it was the best feeling to see everyone together dancing to the best live band I have ever heard.

    Karl and Marquee went above and beyond for us, and even learned our entrance song for our reception. I also had a few very special requests (song dedications, calling up family members for songs), and they accommodated each and every one. They knew what each age group wanted to hear, and got everyone involved. They even went out on the dance floor to let the younger crowd sing. Heck, they let my cousin, who is a singer, step in and sing with the band!

    Everything was perfect. I can't thank them enough. Their energy was contagious, and I'm thrilled to recommend them. If you hire Marquee, you'll hire true talent and experience live entertainment at its best.

    We highly recommend Marquee! At our Sept 2014 wedding, they had everyone - young and old - up on the dance floor having a blast. The band seemed to be having a great time performing too. Ted did a terrific job as MC, the vocals were great and the brass section sounded outstanding. The band played all our requested songs and at the end of the night let the two of us take a turn at the mic. Our guests raved about the fun of dancing to a live 9-piece live band!

    We also had two of the band members play during the cocktail hour, which was so cool. Also, Karl was great to work with.

    Absolutely incredible! Karl and the band made our wedding a night to remember. They played the ceremony and reception. Karl was wonderful to work with and the band learned our song: John Legend, "Stay With You". Very flexible and were able to stay additional time at the end of our reception. I can't say enough good things about this band :)

    Marquee band is the best wedding band ever. From our initial contact right through the evening of our wedding - we have nothing but praise for Karl and the band. Talented, classy, and fun. Reliable. Down to earth. Our guests continue to comment "your band was great" "the best band" "we want to use them". To the MC to the singers to the musicians, we truly extend our thanks.

    One word AMAZING! Honestly, I was a little nervous about a band prior to the wedding….I wasn’t sure if people would respond to a band the way they do a DJ, and my biggest fear was that nobody would be on the dance floor. Well….there was no reason for me to worry! Marquee was AMAZING! They had the dance floor packed all night! Guests were asking my Mom where we found Marquee and were praising their performance all night long! I gave Karl, the bandleader, a short playlist and asked him to use his judgment for the rest of the night. He did an awesome job and played all the right songs to keep our guests dancing and having a great time! The band learned our original first dance song You’re All I Need To Get By since it wasn’t on their playlist, and they did a great job with it! The members of Marquee are extremely talented musicians and did a phenomenal job at our wedding! To anyone that may be on the fence about a live band I would say, GO FOR IT, specifically go for Marquee! Marquee brought an awesome energy to the reception! I can not recommend Marquee enough! And another great thing about Marquee, they are much more affordable than some other nine piece bands out there and they bring an MC with them! They were AMAZING!

    Marquee did an amazing job at our November wedding! We used them for ceremony and cocktail hour music along with the full band for the reception. Karl handled every request for us and made the planning process very easy.

    We received rave reviews from our guests about how phenomenal the band was. Marquee has played at several of my family weddings and they did not disappoint. Our guests danced ALL NIGHT LONG and they pretty much had to drag my husband and I off the dance floor at the end of the night. Thank you!

    Looking for a great band that 'ticks all the boxes' is harder to find than you might think. Marquee took all of the guesswork out of the process. Everything about Karl and the band was A+ from start to finish. The music was always exceptionally performed, fun, and lively. We had several people ask for them by name during and after the wedding. We can not recommend them highly enough.

    Phenomenal Band!!! They provided outstanding entertainment for our wedding and we received compliments from practically everyone at the wedding, including the catering staff, venue staff, etc. People kept commenting they were forgetting the songs were not by the actual artist, because they sounded so authentic. It was one heck of a party!!

    Our guests loved the Marquee band at our wedding! They played songs friendly for all guests and they surprised us and performed during the ceremony as we walked down the aisle. Also, they were really accommodating with our budget. Our only qualms were that we asked for our first dance song to be cut to 90 seconds, but it went the whole time creating some awkward moments, and our MC, who was a friend, did not have positive feedback while coordinating with the band to decide when, how and who would speak at each break. Other than that, they were excellent to work with and I would definitely use them again for a future event.
