Allie Sent on 12/19/2025Amazing!! Highly Recommend
We cannot say enough great things about The Big Badd! They were absolutely amazing at our wedding from start to finish. The vocals were incredible, the energy was through the roof, and they had everyone on the dance floor all night long.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the band was, and they truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable. They also helped coordinate with our venue to do our happy hour and ceremony music as well as all our emcee needs for our speeches/event transitions - so professional and truly on top of everything.
If you’re looking for a band that brings talent, fun, and nonstop energy, The Big Badd is it. Highly, highly recommend! -

Book now! We had a fabulous experience with this band and Eric! The prep was through and at our wedding, he MC'ed the event perfectly. The band kept the energy up and read the room perfectly! They were interactive, fun, and made our wedding the "best wedding we've been to" by MOST of our guests! All our special requests and events we had throughout the night were on time and honored! Awesome set up and coordination with our wedding planner and venue, too! -

Our experience with The Big Badd was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, they made our wedding day truly unforgettable. The team at The Big Badd was incredibly attentive and accommodating, ensuring every detail was taken care of.
One of the standout aspects of our experience was their impeccable attention to detail. They went above and beyond to create a stunning atmosphere for our special day. Additionally, their flexibility and willingness to work within our budget made the planning process much smoother.
While there were a few minor issues along the way, such as a slight delay in responding to some of our inquiries, they were quickly resolved and did not detract from the overall experience.
The staff at The Big Badd were friendly and professional, making us feel welcomed and valued throughout the entire process. Their dedication to making sure everything ran smoothly on the big day truly stood out to us.
In conclusion, we highly recommend The Big Badd to any couples looking for a top-notch wedding vendor. Their commitment to excellence and their ability to bring our vision to life made our wedding day truly magical. Thank you to The Big Badd team for all that you do! -

Can't Recommend Enough
We were recommended The Big Badd through a friend who also hired them for their own wedding. The entire process from start to finish was the most seamless part of our wedding, which is really saying something about their service and attention to detail. Their price was one of the most competitive in town and their quality was unmatched. Every time we talk to our friends about our wedding, the first thing they mention was how amazing the band was. Can't recommend The Big Badd enough! -

Unlike the bands name may suggest, this group of musicians is truly phenomenal. From taking requests to their energy on stage, they are the perfect blend of fun and professional. We hired them to perform at The Ohio State University Marching Band's annual ball, and from one group of musicians to another, they rocked the house. We highly recommend The Big Badd and believe that anyone who does so will write the same glowing recommendation we did. O-H!The Big Badd's reply:
Thank you Quentin! We had a blast playing for you all again and love playing for The Best Damn Band in the Land -

Katheryn Sent on 03/17/2023Awesome band for a party!
This was my second time hiring The Big Badd because everyone loves them so much! We had a ton of fun dancing. They play a great selection of music that all ages enjoyed! And we had children through age 80 at my events. The horns really add to the professional sound. Don't hesitate to book this band! It is fabulous!! -

Joey Sent on 10/31/2022Outstanding Professionals
We originally booked with Ian and The Big Badd about a year out from our wedding date. From our initial meeting discussing our ideas for the set list to the pricing and number of band members for our big day, Ian made everything incredibly easy. He went over the serperete price points and which musicians we could get with each package to make sure we were in agreement before moving forward. Leading up to the wedding we had a phone call and a final zoom meeting with Ian and Eric who would be MC’ing our event to coordinate the itinerary and when and what needed to be said. Again working with Ian and the band members couldn’t have being easier they were always more than accommodating and professional every step of the way. On the day they were incredible, the set list the vocals the HORNS!! truly a top shelf band and would suggest them to anyone trying to put together an event that needs a groovy hook.The Big Badd's reply:
Thank you Joey! We had a blast at your wedding and enjoyed working with you and Savannah! The crowd was so much fun and leading the second line parade at the end of the night was exhilarating to say the least!

Tiana Sent on 07/31/2022The Big Badd is the best around!!!
My husband and I are both music teachers and really cared to have good, live music at our wedding. The Big Badd is comprised of excellent musicians and sound engineers who take great care into a high-quality performance not only for the ceremony, but also the reception. Our wedding venue was set near a residential area, so we were worried that the sound would be too loud, resulting in complaints from the surrounding areas. Not only was the band volume perfect, but the owner of the the venue loved the music so much she brought her husband to come listen! The musicians really know how to keep a crowd dancing and did a wonderful job creating a fun and upbeat environment (which was our priority for the wedding). We were also so impressed with the quality of their sound equipment and Eric, the emcee, did a wonderful job with setting the tone for the reception. It's a shame we're not getting married again any time soon, as we would hire them again in a heartbeat!!The Big Badd's reply:
Thank you so much Tiana! You all were great to work with and it is an honor to be hired by musicians and your family and friends were a lot of fun! We wish you guys all the best!

Amy N. Sent on 05/19/2022Exceptionally fun and talented band!
The Big Badd band is AMAZING! From their responsiveness out the gate, their tailoring of their set list to the songs we love, and the outrageously fun night they hosted, all made them the band I would recommend to anyone. They know how to play for a great party!The Big Badd's reply:
Thanks Amy! We really enjoyed working with you all and playing for your beautiful event! The energy on the dance floor made it so much fun for us to party with everybody! -

The most unreal experience!
Stop your search now and book The Big Badd! By far the best part of our wedding - our guests still talk about how much fun it was dancing to their music all night! But, what I found the most impressive is how easy they were to work with. Ian set up a intro call to understand what I was looking for out of a band before even booking. Then, as we got closer, we had an additional call to walk through the timeline, how we wanted things announced, and all the little details that make a huge difference. The band was also able to accompany a singer from our hometown for our first dance and walk down the aisle songs. Everything was so perfect and I cannot sing the praises of this band enough!! BOOK THEM NOW! -

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing our event was in October. I have to say a big contribution to it be so unforgettable was The Big Badd-it was honestly a game changer having them!
I had friends and family of all ages attend, ranging from 30 to 70 years old. They all love different genres of music (country, rock, todays hits) and I can say every single person enjoyed themselves!
I will 1,000% have them again at another party! -

Megan Sent on 09/13/2021Everyone, from our youngest teenage guests to our oldest senior guests, loved this band - they transcend generations!
Ian was professional, creative, and flexible and he partnered with us to create a musical masterpiece , which some of our guests are calling an experience of a lifetime. Each band member authentically cared about creating a magical experience and it showed: we all danced the night away and our souls were elevated by the Big Badd’s talent and energy. We can’t recommend them enough and we, along with our friends and family, will be finding venues where they play and listening to them again and again whenever we can!The Big Badd's reply:
We are so happy you enjoyed our performance and that your day was such a success! The band had a great time and loved the energy we got from everyone at the wedding! Thank you for the review!!
