Mod Society is incredible! They brought so much energy and fun to our wedding, and the music was unforgettable. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing they were, and we couldn't agree more. We've even considered traveling up to NYC just to see them perform again at Red Lion. 10/10 would recommend! -

Best wedding band in the greater NY area!!
If you’re looking for a wedding band in the greater NY area, I’m not sure why you’d choose any band other than Mod Society! As Danielle and I were planning our wedding we knew we wanted a band as I am a musician and we both share a love for live music. After lots of research, we booked Mod Society for our Montauk wedding and could not be happier with our choice! We had a 9-piece band with three singers, guitar, bass, drums, keys, and 2 horn players - each and every member of the band is insanely talented and brings a ton of energy to the party.
On the back end, Claudio is a joy to work with. He is committed to working with you to bring your vision to life, and brings a ton of experience in the industry to the table to make this happen. Not to mention, relative to other NY-area bands, Mod Society’s pricing was very reasonable for a band of this size and caliber.
On top of all of this, Mod Society worked with us to coordinate the perfect time during the reception for me to go up with the band for a song. I played bass, my dad played drums, and my best man sang, while the Mod Society guitarist played along with us to Give It Away by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It went so well and our guests raved about the performance. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how great Mod Society was! Go see them at one of their showcases at Red Lion and book them to play your wedding - you won’t regret it! -

The Heart and Soul of Our Wedding
From the very beginning, Mod Society was more than just a band to us; they were the heartbeat of what would become the most magical day of our lives. I had been enchanted by Mod Society ever since I stumbled upon one of their YouTube videos. The entire band's style resonated with us so deeply that, long before we were even engaged, my husband joked about flying them out to Italy, where we knew our eventual wedding would take place. This idea, once a playful musing, became a dream I couldn't shake.
As we began wedding planning, there was a fleeting moment where we explored other bands across Europe, looking for something comparable yet more cost-effective. However, after reviewing nearly 15 bands, it became crystal clear – no one matched Mod Society’s unparalleled quality, sound, style, or vibe. Most bands offered performances of two to three hours at most, but Mod Society’s four-hour performance promised a night of endless fun and celebration.
The deciding factor was seeing Mod Society perform live at one of their showcases at the Red Lion. From that moment on, choosing Mod Society became a priority for us, a decision that we knew would involve sacrificing other elements (albeit, elements that we cared significantly less about) to ensure their presence at our wedding. And let me tell you, it was a decision that paid off beautifully.
Working with Claudio, the owner (and bass player) of Mod Society, and his assistant Rachel, was effortless. Their communication was seamless, making the entire process a breeze. The band’s performance at our welcome party, which featured live band karaoke, was an absolute hit – so much so that my mother, amidst the fun, half-joked that the wedding itself couldn’t possibly top the welcome dinner.
But of course, Mod Society exceeded even those high expectations. They provided not just the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which was wonderful in itself, but they also transformed our reception into a night we would never forget. Because Mod Society is not your average, cheesy wedding cover band. They’re rockstars. And it felt like we were at our own personal concert. The entire band brought a level of energy and joy that we, and all our guests will treasure forever.
They learned several songs just for us – a special song for our ceremony, and three for our reception including our first dance and the father/daughter dance. Each performance was executed flawlessly, adding a personal touch that made our wedding uniquely ours.
By the end of the night, my father, who generously supported our wedding, summed it up perfectly: "The band – worth every penny." It's hard to describe the feeling of living a dream you never dared to dream, but that’s exactly what Mod Society gave us – a perfect, unforgettable wedding. If you're looking to fill your wedding with unforgettable joy, vibrant energy, and music that touches the soul, don’t hesitate to invest in Mod Society. They are more than a wedding band; they are the heart and soul of a celebration, creating memories that linger long after the music ends. -

Claudio and the band brought down the house at our wedding! They worked with us on the play list, learned a few songs at our request, led an insanely high energy hora, and played an amazing show. From the wedding music itself, to the cocktail hour, to the first dance, and finally a great two and a half hour set... once the dancing started we didn't stop all night. These guys are professional, funny, and very talented. We would recommend them to any of our friends and family. -

My now wife and I knew we wanted a band at our wedding. We're both musicians (her being a trained drummer and me being a "couch" guitarist who can play a mean Tom Petty). After hearing ModSociety on their Instagram and Youtube channels, we got very excited and ended up booking them. We saw them perform a few months later at a bar in New York City and knew that we made the right decision. They sounded great and had such a good stage presence.
The entire communication process with ModSociety in the months leading up to our wedding was so easy and stress-free. Claudio (the producer, manager, and bassist) was directly involved in all communications, expressed excitement about our day and song selections, and granted our request for my wife to play drums with the band. HOW FRIGGIN COOL!!?!
To no surprise, they EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS at our wedding. We had a lively group and the band's set list matched the guest's energy. The band also nailed the songs that we chose for our ceremony and first dance, along with the father/daughter and mother/son dances. My wife killed it on drums and the band was so receptive to her jamming with them. It was a magical experience.
The band members were also very friendly and interactive after sets, just real good people who we felt like we knew for years. Our guests could not stop raving about the band both during the wedding and in the days and weeks after. So if you've read this entire review, BOOK THIS BAND. You will not be dissapointed. -

Choosing the right band for our wedding was one of our top priorities (second only to the venue!) and Mod Society blew our expectations out of the water! The band was killer and everyone had so much fun dancing the night away! Working with Claudio was such a pleasure. He’s super attentive and responsive and you can feel his excitement to be a part of your day. He was more than happy to customize a few of our songs to match what we had in our minds and the band played everything flawlessly. From the first downbeat, we had people coming up to us, telling us how awesome the band was! If you want your dance floor full all night, be sure to hire Mod Society! -

Mod Society is the BEST WEDDING BAND and I couldn't recommend them more! My twin sister had them at her 2021 Shelter Island wedding, and we loved them so much that we hired them again for my January 2023 NYC wedding. Their repertoire is fantastic and they are an extremely talented group who can get the dance floor going like no other band, and have the most fun doing it. Claudio takes great care in every client, making sure they feel like the success of their day is just as important to the band as it is to you. I greatly appreciated the level of communication and personalization leading up the wedding, and went into my day knowing that this talented team of professionals had my back at every moment. Claudio - I can't thank you enough. We'll be attending their concerts in NYC as much as we can and convincing all our friends to hire Mod Society for their weddings too :) !! Thank you Mod Society! -

Mod Society was incredible!! My guests raved about them for weeks after my wedding. They learned and played all of the songs I requested with ease. All of my guests were on the dance floor all night because of them. I could not recommend them more!!! If someone I know needs a wedding band or I were to host another event in the future, they would be the first band I call! Thank you Mod Society for helping my wedding be unforgettable!! -

We hired Mod Society for our wedding on September 24, 2022. They absolutely blew our guests away with their talent!!!! Claudio the band leader was a pleasure to work with and was very professional. Members from the band performed instrumentals during our ceremony and cocktail hour and then the full 10 piece performed during the reception.The musicians and the singers in the band had amazing talent and class. Mod Society performed songs from their repertoire that we picked and they were able to learn songs that we wanted to hear at our wedding that was important to us. We highly recommend you hiring this band for your wedding! Book right away!!! -

From the first note played, Mod Society created the most joyful, inspiring, uplifting, fun dance party any of our guests or we had ever attended! The tent was rocking and our guests simply could not sit down! The hora was EPIC - and the entire evening got better and better with each song. This group also was a complete delight to work with leading up to the wedding - true professionals in every way. Could not provide a stronger recommendation! -

Wow is really all I have to say about Mod Society! My husband was leaning towards having a DJ for the wedding but when we were driving home afterwards the first thing he said was “I’m glad you talked me into a band because they were awesome!” Claudio and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We booked the 10-piece band and they were outstanding. They have a long list of songs they can play and any song we mentioned in our meeting with Claudio, the band learned and played flawlessly, no questions asked! By far the number one question I received after the wedding was “what’s the name of the band?” They read the room and kept the music going all night. From the second the first dance was over the dance floor was packed until it was time to leave. They did such a great job from the ceremony to cake cutting and everything in between. I can’t recommend them enough. They made our wedding truly unforgettable! -

Mod Society was the BEST band. My sister booked them for her wedding and they were so amazing that we booked them for our wedding a year later. Claudio was wonderful to work with and was very communicative throughout the entire process. They truly made our wedding the best day and managed to get (and keep!) every single guest onto the dance floor. I HIGHLY recommend booking them for your wedding/event, you won't be sorry! -

Emily S. Sent on 09/13/2022AMAZING wedding band! Hire them now!
OMG… talk about a BAND who knows how to PARTY! I cannot even begin to describe how amazing Mod Society was. My husband and I were lucky enough to attend a preview show for couples back in late 2019. From the moment we saw them, we knew - this was it. This was the band we wanted. No matter the cost. The music was a huge priority for us and we budgeted accordingly - but it was even better when Mod Society offered great packages. We ended up booking a 10-piece band - which included instrumentals for the ceremony. Claudio - the manager - is a fantastic vendor. He communicates almost immediately, answered my many questions, and takes the time to call you to understand you as a couple, your desires, and genre interests.
When the pandemic hit, they didn’t miss a beat and held my reservation for an entire year (at no additional cost). It was a long wait for our wedding, but I am so glad it worked out to still use them.
The band members are a great group of people who you would want to hang out with as friends. They arrived on time, set up, and packed up efficiently and carefully. They all dressed appropriately and appreciated the vendor meals that I made sure were a priority.
After a pandemic, we were the first wedding for a lot of our guests, and boy did they bring the PARTY. The band was jamming the moment our guests entered the space. Multiple guests commented how they felt like “they were at a live concert” and raved for weeks about our party. Mod Society took quick, efficient breaks, and the best part - they read the room. Not once did our dance floor clear and they played all of our hit favorites - and even a 90’s set - which was a big hit with our mostly millennial crowd. I cannot recommend them enough. Worth every penny. I wish I could hire them again and again! Thank you, Claudio and team, for an amazing performance and for elevating our party to that level! -
