    Awesome band!

    The Big House Band was an absolute hit at our wedding! Working with Jimi was super easy and everything went according to plan. Throughout the night and after the wedding we received so much positive feedback about how great the band was. They played a wide variety of songs and were able to accommodate our special requests. Thank you so much Big House Band it was a blast!!

    The Best Band in the Land!

    Coming from a musical family, it was so important to me that I had a live band for my wedding. In searching for bands, everyone started to sound the same and nobody stood out to me until I came across The Big House Band. From the first few videos I watched online, I knew that they were the band that I was looking for to keep the crowd dancing all night long! Before booking them, my husband and I saw them live and were immediately sold. Every member is so friendly and clearly loves what they are doing. They are also so extremely talented.

    Jimi especially was such a pleasure to work with. We had a few calls with him and he was always so helpful and willing to do anything that we wanted. Coming from a Polish background, there are some traditions that we explained to him and he did a fantastic job introducing them.

    The dance floor was packed the entire night! From 50s classics to Michael Jackson to Maroon 5 to P!nk, you get every possible genre with the band.

    Thank you so much to The Big House Band for making our wedding day the best day ever!

    The Big House Band's reply:

    Thank you so much for making us YOUR wedding band! What an amazing crowd you had and we are so happy we got the names right! Haha. A memorable night for sure!

    Best Wedding Band Around

    We had The Big House Band for our reception on September 5, 2021. The experience could not have been any better. Jimi is extremely easy to work with and so accommodating. Their sound is second to none. By far they are the best wedding band I’ve seen. They also know how to keep the dance floor packed. My wife and I have gotten complements on them from guests in their 20’s to guests in their 80’s. The song variety is amazing and their energy is unmatched. I cannot praise them enough. I strongly recommend them to anyone that wants a great band for their wedding. You will not be disappointed.

    The Big House Band's reply:

    Mark… thank you so much for this amazing review! We are so glad that you, your wife and your guests had as much fun as we did! We wish you many happy years together and hope to see you soon at a gig!

    Great Band made for a special day

    Jimi and the Big House Band were fun and brought the energy needed for a great wedding. We would recommend them to any couple that really wants to upgrade the wedding to a special event. The were easy to work with and played a great variety of music.

    Fantastic!

    The Big House Band was great! Everyone in the band was very friendly. They played a great mix of music and kept the party going all night long. We couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend!

    Amazing band!

    The band truly made the entire reception. They had everyone (including the grandparents) dancing. They took our taste into consideration but were really good at making a playlist that got people up and dancing, which is really nice when so many other things are hands during wedding planning.
    Jimi was a good communicator and made the process easy. The night of went off without a hitch.
    We really couldn’t have asked for more.

    Stop what you're doing and book them!

    We could NOT have been happier with our decision to book the Big House Band for our 10/5/19 wedding! So many of our guests told us that it was the best band that they have ever seen at a wedding and that they had so much fun. Jimi and his team were able to read the crowd and determine which songs would be perfect for our group to create a truly magical evening. They totally nailed our first dance to 'You Are The Best Thing', the mother/son dance to 'Days Like This', and father/daughter to 'Goodnight, My Angel'. I have an uncle who is also in a band and they even allowed him to sing a song with them. I was so grateful for their flexibility on that! Lastly, they were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. Super responsive to emails and happy to be flexible with any of our requests/questions. Overall, I cannot recommend them enough!

    So happy we went with The Big House Band!!

    Everyone was up and singing and dancing!! Jimmy worked with us in picking songs as we had specific songs we wanted to hear from dinner, to introductions, during the night and their break time!! Everyone says they haven’t been to a wedding where that many people were up and dancing the entire time!! So many compliments on the band and we are very happy we went with them!!

    Amazing!!!

    We cannot express enough how amazing our wedding night was, and it has a lot to do with our decision to hire the Big House Band! They were truly incredible and had the dance floor rocking all night. Days and even weeks later we still have guests telling us how much they enjoyed the band. Jimi was great to work with and has a way of working the room to make sure everyone was up and moving. Thank you, Big House Band, for giving us everlasting memories.

    The Big House Band's reply:

    Samantha... thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of such an amazing day in your lives! You guys had such a great crowd and they were ready to party! We wish you many happy years together and hope to see you soon!

    All the best,
    Jimi & The Big House Band

    Amazing...just absolutely amazing!!!

    What a talented group of people! We hired The Big House Band for our wedding. We went to see them ahead of the big day and were blown away. The day of the wedding and after we were constantly being asked where we found such an amazing band and that they “made” the night. All of our guests were up dancing and enjoying the performance. It was a night to remember because of them. HIGHLY recommend them for your big day or any other event. You won’t be disappointed!

    Great Experience

    Jimi and the Big House Band were a great choice for our wedding. We wanted a band that would keep our guests dancing and a sound that would work well in our ballroom. They did not disappoint! They took care of everything from our ceremony and cocktail hour, all the way through the reception and all of our guests had a great time. A great group of talented musicians!

    Best in the business!

    Jimi and the BHB literally made our day. It is no surprise that they have been playing together for over 20 years - they sounded absolutely fantastic and have such a huge catalogue of songs. They also learned 4 songs for us, which was awesome and made our event so special. Our guests can't stop talking about how awesome the music was. They should honestly double their rate.

    Thank you Jimi!

    The Big House Band's reply:

    Hey Kim and Rob -

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your kind words! We had so much fun at your wedding and it was so awesome to see you guys on the dance floor all night!!! Make sure to keep in touch and we'll see you both soon!

    Unforgettable

    After seeing the band at a friend's wedding in Maryland, I knew I wanted them to play at mine in KY. Nothing would be complete without them, for they keep you dancing all night long, regardless of how much you sweat or how badly your feet hurt in those heels! Their energy is contagious and their kindness even more so. I can't imagine my wedding experience without them.

    Awesome Group! Every Guest Loved Them

    Jimi and The Big House Band played at our wedding in Aug 2018. They required little guidance as they have done manyyyy weddings. Jimi got everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. Overall couldn't be happier with the results... we had a BLAST dancing the night away!! The group also sang our first-dance song ("Perfect" by Ed Sheeran) and it was awesome!

    Seriously THE BEST!!!!

    The Big House Band was such a blast at our wedding!!! I cannot thank them enough for the wonderful entertainment they provided to us and our guests! Jimi and his crew were so accommodating and friendly! Our wedding was at Omni Bedford Springs which was quite a drive for the band and we were SO thankful! My husband first reached out via email and was able to book with the manager. He was then given Jimi's email and phone number. Unfortunately email is not the best form of communication because the band is truly so busy - so we often called or texted Jimi which worked great for us! I first spoke to Jimi via a phone call about setting up a surprise for my husband the night of the wedding! He was super accommodating!!! He even ended up having a surprise set up with my husband where him and his groomsmen did a dance and accommodated their request as well! The band was able to learn the song we picked for our first dance and did a great job learning our music style in order for us and our guests to enjoy the night! The Big House Band was also able to provide a keyboardist for our ceremony and cocktail hour which was HUGE for us so we didn't have to work with another vendor. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jimi & the rest of the Big House band for making our night SO special! We cannot thank you enough!!

    Big House Band did the damn thing. The dress floor was crowded all night from the little kids all the way to the grandparents. They keep it lively and entertaining with a great set of songs and were definitely a blast

    Amazing Band!

    Our wedding guests continue to rave about our band 7 months after we got married. Every time we see one of our wedding guests, the band is THE topic of conversation. They are beyond great and a guaranteed hit.

    The Big House Band was incredible!! They kept the guests at our wedding on the dance floor the entire night. Throughout the whole wedding process they were so helpful always responding promptly, answering all of our questions, and accommodating any requests we had. If you are considering having them play at your wedding, book them now! Thanks Big House Band!!

    Jimi and the Big House Band were AMAZING at our wedding in Stone Harbor. We were lucky enough to have them provide music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. After seeing them live in Philly, we knew we needed to have them as our wedding band. From the first time we spoke with Jimi, he made us feel at ease and worry free. The Big House Band sounded fantastic and had everyone of all ages on their feet dancing all night. They played the perfect variety of songs and played them flawlessly. They even let my husband come up and sing Wagon Wheel with them at the end of the night. They truly helped make our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception perfect. We can't wait to see them again soon.

    The Big House Band's reply:

    Lindsay - yours was a GREAT wedding!!! So much fun!

    We can’t say enough good things about the Big House Band! They took the time to get to know us, our styles, our preferred songs, and gave us the wedding we were hoping for. We had some pretty specific and non-traditional requests for the band, and they accommodated every one of them. It has been 5 months since our wedding and people are still telling us how much they loved the band. Jimi did a great job as emcee. Our family loves to dance and they kept everyone out on the dance floor the whole night. The band even went out of their way to learn an extra song to surprise the bride! We cannot say enough positive things about the band and would highly recommend them!

    There are not enough stars--and really not enough words--to capture how fantastic The Big House Band is.

    My wife and I booked Big House sight unseen about 11 months from our date based only on their amazing reviews and on YouTube videos--hint book fast, their schedule fills up fast.

    From the start, Jimi (band leader, voice of an angel) confirmed we made the right choice. Months after we booked, we saw the band at the Windrift--they were, as reviewed, amazing--and Jimi spent over an hour after the show to meet us, to get some insight on what we wanted at our wedding, and to get to know US as a couple.

    From there, Jimi followed up regularly to check in and to ensure the band got everything right for our big day. And boy did they. They played our first dance live--Can't Take My Eyes Off You (another hint, have them play your first dance song, better than any recording), and kept our reception rocking all night with music that kept every guest happy and dancing. On our request, they even played Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (a song about divorce) because 1) it is a favorite of mine and 2) Jimi can PLAY the sax...not just play....really PLAY. And its not just Jimi, the whole band is incredibly talented. Like SERIOUSLY talented. Stephanie and DaNica can legitimately bring the house down, guitarist Jeff and bassist Tim can simply shred, Dave's keys wowed everyone from ceremony music to reception, and Bob kills the drums.

    At the end of the night, the band closed the reception to bring us up on stage to sing Living on a Prayer. It was a very special moment for my wife and I to look out over our guests and see them singing along with us. Certainly something we will never forget and something we owe to the Band.

    To this day, almost 4 months later, our guests still rave about Big House Band. We do too. We still see them every month, we stay the whole time, dance like its our wedding again, and their show never gets old.

    I wish I could give the big house band more than 5 stars in every category!!!! Besides marrying my best friend, a band that got everyone on the dance floor was all i cared about and that is exactly what the big house band did. My uncle, a man who never leaves his table, was a dancing fool all night long! It is impossible for my family and friends to talk about our big day without mentioning how amazing the band was. Because of them, it will be a wedding my guests will never forget! They exceeded all my expectations!!!!! I want to relive my wedding day, have our anniversary party, throw someone else a birthday party...ANYTHING just so I can hire the big house band again :)

    The Big House Band's reply:

    Samantha - Thank you so much for your kind words! We had such a great time at your wedding and I don't think any of will ever forget Grandma Billy getting up on stage to sing "Living On A Prayer" with us! You guys rock!!!
