    Best band!

    My husband was the one who wanted to have a band as I did not necessarily have a preference. He has been present at a few weddings that Phase5 has been at and swore by them! Since my husband and his friends grew up surrounded by music, I trusted his opinion as he likely knew better than I would when it comes to entertainment. I have got to say-Phase5 was incredible!! I cannot even begin to explain how many compliments we got from multiple guests throughout the night. Besides only 1 small break during dinner, they played the entire night and delivered constant energy throughout the wedding! In addition, we wanted a specific version of a song performed for our first dance and they learned it, recorded it, and sent it to us a week prior. They also learned a new song for our final dance that they had never performed live before! I highly recommend having a band at your wedding in general since it brings another level of entertainment AND even more, I highly recommend phase 5 as they truly are the best in the area!

    Great sound and so much fun!

    We just got married on July 10, 2023. One of the most important things I wanted to splurge on for my wedding was a live band. I am so glad that I did! This band was absolutely incredible. They played a great variety of songs and played ones that I requested. Everyone was dancing and talking about how great this band was! We had the full 9 pieces, and it was worth every penny. For our ceremony, we had an acoustic guitar player and for the cocktail hour, we had a saxophone player (provided by Phase5). Great communication from the team! 5 stars to Phase5!!!

    Phenomenal!

    GOOD NEWS! You can stop looking for a wedding band! These guys are LEGIT. While I was planning our wedding, I was particularly apprehensive about booking a band, because I’ve been to weddings where the music was ‘meh’ and you can’t really ‘preview’ the band ahead of time. I am SO HAPPY we booked Phase 5, because they were amazing and brought the party! They were seriously SO good and SO talented – we got many many compliments about the music. Get the maximum amount of musicians if you can – it’s worth it!!! So grateful for their talent and their time – THANK YOU PHASE 5!!!

    WOW just wow.

    Words can’t describe how amazing Josh and the band are!! Their performance at my wedding yesterday was incredible. It was better than I could ever have imagined. I have guests texting me telling me what an amazing band I had! Our dance floor was full from start to finish and we could’ve danced all night long. I am a destination bride and had to book the band without hearing them in person previously. I had a strong feeling they were a great band but they totally blew us away. They are by far the best band I have ever heard. Not to mention they are unbelievably easy to work with and such a pleasure!!!
    We added the sax and guitar for the reception and they also played at the ceremony and cocktail hour. Was SO worth it.

    Thank you so much!!!!

    Fantastic Band!

    Phase5 Band is amazing! Josh was wonderful to work with from our first contact to last dance. The band even learned several new songs not in their repertoire that were important to the bride and groom. They are a very talented group! The dance floor was packed all night and our guests haven't stopped raving about the band. I highly recommend Phase5!

    Just WOW - best live band!

    "WOW" is the best descriptor for Josh and Phase5 band! My husband and I added the guitarist for cocktail hour music (fantastic!), and added the saxophone as well. Just from the videos alone, my husband and I were so excited that we were able to book, but hearing them live is a whole new experience - they were the best live band I've heard!! I had so many moments where I didn't even realize it was the band, just from how fantastic and high quality their performance was. We heard the same compliments from many of our guests - everyone loved them, and most importantly, everyone was dancing!! Working with them was the greatest pleasure and honor of ours, we HIGHLY recommend them! I hope we can hear them live again!

    The best band ever!

    Phase5 was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They were amazing!!! We would highly recommend this band for any event, especially a wedding! They learned our first dance song and crushed it! They kept our dance floor full all night! The guitarist at our ceremony and sax player at cocktail hour also did a wonderful job. Phase5 was easy to work with and always responsive and professional. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so great!

    Wonderful Experience with Phase 5

    Josh and the Phase 5 band were one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. This band is INCREDIBLE. Having live music at our wedding was our biggest priority and we are so happy we chose Phase 5. We loved the fact that this group of musicians consistently plays together, which is very apparent in the talent and synchronicity between the band members. They were very professional and impressive to work with throughout the planning process. We appreciated their flexibility, as well, when we had to reschedule once due to COVID. We upgraded to the 8-piece ensemble (which included a horns section), had the string quartet at our ceremony, and a saxophonist at our cocktail hour and we could not have asked for a better experience. We have been to many weddings, and they are honestly the best wedding band we have ever heard, and we consistently heard the same feedback from our guests. Phase 5 kept our guests dancing all night and it’s all everyone kept raving about after the reception (and continue to rave about to this day). They also did a wonderful job of learning our first dance song and mother/father dances. We were so impressed and cannot say enough good things about this group. If you are debating booking a band for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book Phase 5 right away – you will not be disappointed!

    Amazing band!

    Josh and the band were amazing at our wedding! They played a huge variety of music which is just what we like. We love filling the dance floor and there wasn’t one moment that it was empty the whole night! We even had a conga line with the saxophonist! Highly recommended!!

    The best band!

    Josh, with Phase 5 Band, was a joy to work with, he was quick to respond to my endless questions and made me feel at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better band... great musicians, amazing vocals, they were exceptional from start to finish. I highly recommend them.

    Highly recommend!

    Josh and The Phase5 Band are incredible, and they kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Everyone raved about the music, and our guests still talk about how much fun they had. Josh is super easy to work with and keeps you updated every step of the way – you can tell he really goes above and beyond for all of his clients!

    Absolutely fantastic!

    Where do I begin with Phase 5 Band?! They are WONDERFUL. Not only are they great performers, but they are so easy to work with as well! Josh is very organized and communicative. They were able to do a 'private last dance' song for my husband and I, which was so sweet and special. They had EVERYONE out on the dance floor - it was never empty! All of our guests are still talking about how awesome the band was! Everyone had such a fun time singing along and dancing (they play a great selection of songs - none of the cheesy ones!). Would 1000% recommend choosing Phase 5 - you won't regret it!

    Thank you for your kind words. We loved being a part of your special night. You guys were a blast!!!!!

    Bandemic!

    Our wedding overcame a lot in order to happen and having Josh, Robyn, and his oh so amazingly talented band was just icing on the cake. The guitarist played for our wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour was just a peak of what was to come! Our guests were dancing so hard and nobody wanted the party to end. I did not need to send a playlist because Josh and the band knew just how to keep the party going! I can't say enough amazing things about them and how blessed we were to have them as part of the amazing memories for our big day! Please, if you want the best band for the buck, book these guys and hope they're available because it's oh so worth it!!!!!!

    Best part of the entire wedding!

    After searching for the best bands in the Tampa area, we came across Phase 5 and immediately fell in love with their style and sound. Upon reaching out, we heard back from Josh within hours. He was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and made sure to answer all of my crazy questions. They arrived early to set up, played through the entire night without any breaks, and even surprised us with performing the groom and mother first dance song live rather than playing the recording as we thought it would be a DJ song since it wasn't on their playlist. His team is beyond unbelievable! The guests and staff of the hotel not at the wedding kept asking guests if this was a recording or an actual live band as each song sounded perfect. When you thought they nailed one song, they'd start the next and perform it even better than the one before. Throughout the night and the next day, all anyone could talk about was how amazing the band was. If you are thinking of adding a band to your wedding, Josh and Phase 5 are well worth it and will make your wedding unforgettable. Thank you Josh for a night we will never forget!

    Phase5's reply:

    We absolutely loved playing for you guys. Such a fun group. Thanks for your kind words and for giving us the opportunity to play for you!

    Amazing jams!

    My husband and I are both huge music fans so knew we wanted a talented band at our wedding. Phase 5 was the very first vendor that we hired over a year in advance of our wedding. After watching some of their YouTube, I basically wanted to start dancing in my living room. They did not disappoint! Throughout the process they were quick to respond and professional and at the wedding they were amazing! So many of my guests commented on how great the music was! They knew just how to read the crowd to put on the exact performance that we wanted! Josh and the whole band were incredible. Thank you thank you!!

    Camille, It was an honor to be a part of your wedding. It was such a fantastic night. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your night.

    THE wedding band! Simply the best!

    Pro tip: book live music for your wedding. Extra pro tip: book Phase5 Band! Josh and his team were amazing from the very first inquiry until the very last song. Josh is super responsive and organized and answered all of my 200 questions (literally) in the planning process; they even learned a few songs that we had requested! I knew that they were going to be great, but they still blew me out of the water! They sounded incredible and played every song at the perfect time - they really know how to work a crowd! People are still telling me how much they loved the band and our wedding was almost a month ago! Josh and his team also provide the music for your ceremony and cocktail hour, in addition to the reception, which makes things so simple and stress free as well. I really can't recommend them highly enough - I promise you won't regret booking them!

    Phase5's reply:

    Katie! We loved playing for you. Thank you so much for dancing all night. We had a blast with you guys. Thanks for having us.

    The best band!

    BEST DECISION EVER! The band truly made the night. We are very into music and had a lot of special request all of which were handled with ease. You can tell the band really enjoys performing and the female vocalist is out of this world. Highly recommend adding in some additional interments. We had the guitar for the ceremony as well as the sax which made for complete sound. Josh was very easy to get in contact with and was very accommodating to learning our first dance song. Great to work with such professional talent. We had a hot humid night and they played with only one break and kept the energy up. Very reasonably priced, we live up North and expected to pay much more for level of performance. Thanks phase5, we hope to hear you again soon!

    Best band ever!

    We never wanted the band to stop playing! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Josh and Robyn are FABULOUS! Their voices are so powerful. Josh sang my first dance song and I was blown away at his voice, he is so much better than the original artist...everyone loved it! So many compliments from the guests about the band. During the planning process Josh was so organized, friendly and accommodating. Wish we could do it all over again so we could have such a fun night with Josh Walther and the Phase5 Band...thank you so much!!!

    We Never Stopped Dancing!

    Our feet were so sore from dancing all night! We loved Josh and Phase 5-they played both modern and classic hits, and they knew exactly what would get everyone on the dance floor. They made the wedding so much fun and we would highly recommend them for any wedding or event. They created quite a buzz in Venice--everyone wanted to know who they were! Look no further!

    We loved being a part of your wedding! It was so beautiful. Definitely one for the books for sure. Thank you so much for trusting us on such an important night. We will never forget it!

    Must hire!

    Josh and Phase5 Band were absolutely phenomenal! Josh was so easy to work with, great at communicating and most importantly-put together such a wonderful "show" for our wedding. They had everyone on the dance floor all night-played all of our favorite songs and even went along with my dad to cue an intro song during his FOB speech. Hiring this band is one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding!

    Phase 5 did an amazing job at our wedding. Josh Walther was extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. We used them for the Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception. The band did a great job throughout the night making sure everyone was dancing. Everyone loved their energy and played music from a variety of decades. We had a lot of guests comment on how awesome they were. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night. They even let some of our bridal party participate, even though we were awful. Phase 5 was awesome and I would highly recommend them.
