    Best band ever!!

    We already knew that The Bishops were the THE BEST BAND EVER, but they blew our minds and our guests have been raving about them for days!! Besides all of the incredible talent of each and every band member, they can sing ANY song across every genre and it is played and sung perfectly. We have never heard a band with such crossover capability! And on top of that, they are so friendly, easy to work with, they learned a couple of songs we wanted played including for our 1st dance, they know how to keep the party going, and they even surprised the bride by inviting the groom up on stage to sing!! We, and all of our guests, danced the entire night and were told many times over The Bishops are the best band they have ever heard. We are forever grateful for the memories. Thank you Bryan and The Bishops!! You literally rock!!

    Absolutely Fantastic!

    I cannot recommend The Bishops enough! They played at our daughter’s wedding reception at the Roof Ballroom and were a huge hit. Fantastic song selection, unbelievably talented musicians and singers, great energy, terrific with the MC duties, so much fun!

    Hire The Bishops, your guests will thank you!

    The Bishops were the heart and soul of our wedding! Their incredible music and captivating performance had everyone on their feet, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of joy and celebration. Bryan, the band leader, was an absolute superstar. Not only did he lead the band with professionalism, but he also took on the roles of MC, ensuring the smooth flow of events, and handled the sound for the ceremony and cocktail hour flawlessly. His easy communication style and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the day was a success. We were impressed by and so appreciated their willingness to learn and perform a song for us. Despite not having the chance to see them live beforehand, we were confident in our decision and thrilled with the outcome – their music sounded great and added an extra layer of magic to our special day. The Bishops went above and beyond, exceeding all expectations and making our wedding a night to remember!

    Bishops were awesome - high recommends

    The Bishops were hands down the first and best decision I made when planning our wedding. You won’t be disappointed! Bryan is super easy to work with and very transparent about what he can do. Everyone had a super great time and after the wedding was over …there was not a guest that didn’t comment on how great the band was the next day. Bryan will make a rock star out of everyone involved! Hiring the Bishops transformed a basic event into the event of the year and an event people will recall for decades to come!

    Best wedding band ever

    The Bishops were amazing from start to finish. We found them at a summer festival and knew we had to have them for our wedding. They were interactive with the crowd, easy to work with, and above all - AMAZING MUSICIANS! We have had guests ask us for weeks who our band was and if they can have their contact info. I would hire The Bishops again and again and again.

    The Best, Hands Down.

    The Bishops made our wedding the most incredible experience of our lives! Not only were they responsive, professional, and easy going, they honestly were the most amazing and personable people we’ve ever worked with and the best live wedding band we have ever heard. Every song was a hit and more people danced and stayed til the end than we could’ve ever imagined. Top notch. The end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    NYE Wedding Reception Extravaganza

    Bryan Bishop and The Bishops could not have been more incredible! Start to finish and everything along the way, Bryan was there to help guide us and create the perfect evening. Even in the face of Covid and many changes that had to be made, including one of their singers needing replaced at the last minute, The Bishops totally delivered! These guys are truly awesome, you will not regret having them at your next event!

    We had the best wedding thanks to The Bishops!

    The Bishops just played at my wedding on September 25, 2021 and we could not recommend them enough! They had everyone dancing the whole evening and we still have people talking about how amazing they were! Bryan is the best emcee, and such a pleasure to work with. He made the whole planning process easy and is super responsive! This band is truly the best wedding band and such a fun group to play at anyone’s wedding!! We are so glad we booked them, and we will continue to rave about the impact they made on making it the best night ever!

    The highlight of the night!

    We absolutely LOVED having The Bishops as our wedding band! We knew we wanted live music at our reception, and The Bishops delivered above and beyond what we could have hoped for. We had a somewhat specific vision of how we wanted our first dance to blend into the dance floor opening for everyone, and they executed it to perfection. It was the coolest moment to see our friends and family flood the dance floor as soon as the band kicked in and started playing. They didn't take a break the entire three hours they played, and kept the dance floor full all night. We received so many compliments from our guests about how good the band was! We loved that each member of the band was equally talented and took turns singing--it really allowed them to play a wide range of music. Can't recommend them enough!!!

    Amazing performance!

    We were extremely happy with how well the band performed, and their flexibility to work with us and personalize our wedding. Despite our small crowd, they put on a hell of a show and got everybody dancing

    A blast for all ages!

    We love the Bishops! Bryan is so wonderful to work with! He called me a few days before the event to make sure everything was in order and to assure me of perfection. I told him to do what they always do and get people dancing which they did!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    The Bishops were a fantastic choice for our son and daughter in law's wedding! The Bishops traveled to Champaign, IL for the September 2020 event. Bryan was very easy to work with and helped with everything from the ceremony through the reception. The dance floor was full all night! Throughout the reception, everyone kept saying how much they enjoyed the band and how good they were! All of the band members were also very personable and friendly. I can't say enough good things about The Bishops!

    The Bishops were amazing!

    We had The Bishops at our wedding this past June 2020! They were so amazing to work with and everyone had such a wonderful time dancing at our wedding! Bryan was great at helping with all of our changes due to COVID 19 and was so helpful with relieving stress during these crazy times! I would highly recommend them for any event!!

    The Bishops's reply:

    Such an incredible night! Thank you so very much for having us!! We wish a long life of happiness and good health!

    Book The Bishops!

    The Bishops did an outstanding job at our wedding. They helped with music throughout the ceremony and also ran the rest of the night with announcements. Bryan was great with communication throughout the entire experience.
    As for the band, wow!! I cannot praise them enough. Everyone played so well together and the energy was amazing. I would and will recommend them to anyone looking for a fun interactive band to perform at weddings or events. The guests had a great time and several said that they were the best band hat they have ever seen at a wedding.

    I was new to Indy and had only seen The Bishops perform once before at a festival, but was convinced enough from that 20 minute show, that they were the right band for our wedding reception, and they delivered an excellent performance. Our wedding was June 30th in the Formal Gardens at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Since it was outside, we had a large tent set up for the reception. It did not rain, just the opposite. It was 97 degrees outside. But Bryan and his band performed flawlessly, and even accommodated some "over and above" special requests. They had a great song list to choose from, and Bryan is very easy to work with, the arrangement was perfect. Overall, they were the perfect band for our reception, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for any type of event. And if you get the chance, request "Got You Where I Want You" by The Flys, They rocked it! -Tom

    The perfect band for the perfect! Amazing interaction and had a wonderful time listening, dancing and singing along. Played every song we wanted and learned ones they didn’t know for us. Amazing band so glad we asked them to play at our wedding!

    The Bishops were fantastic!! From the moment they started playing until the very last song, our dance floor was packed. Not only did our friends and family dance all night, everyone has been talking about how fun our band was ever since our wedding. Bryan was easy and enthusiastic to work with, responded to our questions quickly while we were in the planning stages, and provided amazing entertainment for a night we'll never forget.

    Book this band immediately for your event!! What an incredible experience, from start to finish! Bryan Bishop was a joy to work with- always available for a check-in via email or phone call, professional and genuinely excited about his band's music. They brought the house down at our wedding and had the whole crowd in the dance floor the entire night! My husband and then his father decided to sing a couple songs on a whim, and they just rolled with it and perfectly backed them up. This group brought such amazing energy, and their talent is off the charts. This band is what everyone can't stop taking about when recapping the wedding. I would absolutely hire them again! (And the added saxaphone is absolutely worth it!!)

    Couldn't be happier

    Bryan Bishop was amazing. My husband and I had no clue about weddings we started planning our wedding. Bryan was awesome and helped us get things organized before the wedding and made sure things flowed smoothly on our wedding day.

    The Bishops's reply:

    Thank you so much Lisa! You are your husband are amazing and awesome people and your wedding was as well!

    I highly recommend the Bishops to play for a wedding reception or any event! We hired them for our daughter’s wedding January 2017, and they were spectacular. From the beginning, while looking for bands, we had difficulty getting bands to respond to our emails. The spokesman Bryan Bishop responded by email right away and led us to their website. The play list is varied and extensive. They already had the couple’s first dance song and the Groom’s mom’s request for the Mother/Groom dance on their play list. The Bishops learned Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely?” for the Father/Bride dance in less than a month. Our wedding event was in a smaller venue, with 225 guests so we were a bit concerned a band might be too loud for the space. When we shared this concern with the Bishops, they assured us that the wedding was ours and they would adjust the volume to whatever we preferred. The volume was never even an issue and they began playing at the perfect volume. From the beginning of the evening with Bryan emceeing the reception’s events from entrance introductions, dinner, toasts, and dances, he was great. He kept the reception on time and moving to get to the dancing. However, nothing felt rushed. Once they started playing, the band never took a break! The wedding party and guests danced all night! The only casualty, if it can be called that, was that we had much wedding cake left over… because the banquet servers delivered cake to all the guests who were seated at their tables… and most people were out dancing! Again, I can’t emphasize how responsive Bryan was to all our texts and phone calls, returning our calls the same day. The Bishops were an absolute joy to work with and the wedding party (and guests) enjoyed a wonderful night to remember. I will hire them again.

    I would definitely recommend The Bishops! They were amazing and had our guests dancing all night. We were told by many people that this was the most fun band they'd ever heard at a wedding. Working with The Bishops was very stress-free and so much fun. They even learned a new song for my dad and I, which was so nice. Worth every penny.

    We engaged with a band and had a verbal agreement with date, time, and dollars. The band stopped replying to our emails and phone calls. We discovered the Bishops and I'm thankful the first band disengaged with us because this band was unbelievably good. The Bishops played three straight high energy hours without taking a break.

    What a wonderful group of musicians! Very professional, great advice on planing music for a reception (a band member played the piano during dinner in addition to the full band after), quick response time every time I had a question, great MC (Bryan), and best of all, the most fun, non-stop music ever! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire evening. Guest are still talking about what a wonderful time they had! Best night ever, thanks to The Bishops!
