    An amazing experience!

    The Class Band is Amazing. I've had the pleasure of working with them on multiple occasions, as a Wedding Planner. They are professional, organized, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!!

    We are still talking about The Class...

    Stop what you're doing and book these guys. They played our wedding in Palm Springs in early March 2024 and absolutely lit the place on fire (in a good way). They were so great to work with along the way, responsive and accommodating, and their pricing is very reasonable compared to other wedding bands. Most importantly, they managed to get every single person at our wedding onto the dancefloor, including a few 90+ year olds and some very, very socially awkward friends of friends...

    Some highlights:
    - Gabe is great to work with. Very flexible and accomodating
    - They played our ceremony and cocktail hour too and were very tasteful
    - They crafted a perfect setlist taking our recommendations into account while also using their expertise to play what 'works'. They just made it all happen and it was great!

    Our wedding guests are still buzzing to us about how great the band was. Need I say more??

    The Class's reply:

    Joe! I love the review. Thank you so much! Just in case anyone is reading this, I want you to know, Joe (the groom) is an insane guitar player and he came up on stage with the band to play Johnny B. Goode and it rocked! I have a video to prove it! :)

    Fantastic Wedding Band

    We decided to go with The Class after seeing them at a friends wedding. We knew they were fabulous at performing and we enjoyed and danced to the band’s music all night long. What was super fun to learn is how kind, cool and professional their team is to work with for our own wedding at the Alila Marea in San Diego. We loved every interaction, especially with Gabe! We added a DJ (through The Class) which was a fun way to end the night and have heard from our friends and family they loved the music which was a key component of making our night special. Thank you guys!! Highly recommend!

    The Class's reply:

    Thank you Courtney! Your wedding was rad! We were blessed to be a part of it and glad you added the DJ - we love brining our DJs!

    Awesome band - would highly recommend them

    The Class were absolutely great and I would highly recommend them. They were perfect for the night of our wedding. The music was on point, the dance floor was full, and we have got some great cell phone footage of the whole party singing along. Gabe was a great MC of the event as well, who made everything flow seamlessly. Finally, Gabe was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He was very professional, very responsive, and we went into the night of our wedding entirely confident on the music. It really was a wonderful experience.

    The Class's reply:

    Kyle, what can I say. We are so happy that we got to be a part of the event. It couldn't have been a more perfect day in my opinion. Playing among the redwood trees at Vinehill House is always such an amazing experience and you and Lisa were so fun to work with. Wish you guys all the best! Thanks for the great review!

    The perfect wedding band

    The Class is not only a great band, they are adept at running ceremonies and MC-ing. They were always responsive and learned learned several of our favorite songs for the the wedding. There's just no comparison to the average wedding DJ. They were able to get people up and dancing all night.

    The Class's reply:

    Thanks Milo! It means a lot! Healdsburg is one of our favorite places to travel to and you guys threw a killer party. The food, the atmosphere...it was all fantastic. Thank you for bringing us up and including us in such an important day!

    Stop searching, you've found your band!

    The Class are the absolutely PERFECT wedding band. We have been dancing to them for years at so many amazing events. We gave them minimal direction and they absolutely crushed everything. What sets Gabe and co apart from other wedding bands is their attention to detail for the little things, the music they played during dinner was perfect and every song transitioned to the next. Gabe was also incredibly responsive during the entire process. They had never done an international wedding and did not hesitate to come down to Mexico for us. They also handled all the communication with our DJ for equipment and kept us out of the details (which as you know is a rare and awesome trait in a wedding vendor). We cannot recommend the Class enough! Stop searching, you've found your band!

    The Class's reply:

    Thank you so much Lucie! We had a blast! We really appreciate the kind words. Coming down to Baja was a great experience. What an awesome venue and the dance party was off the charts thanks to your and your friends!

    These guys rock!

    From the beautiful acoustic sets during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour to the non-stop hits that kept the dance floor full and moving, The Class Band absolutely crushed it! Gabe and the boys even went so far as to learn two new songs that held special significance for us to play during our first dance and parent dances. Leading up to the wedding, Gabe was always very quick to respond any time we reached out and a tremendous help with logistics. If you’re looking for a band that’s easy to work with, looks good and rocks hard, The Class Band is where it’s at!

    The Class's reply:

    Spencer, your wedding will remain in our minds as one of the most memorable we have played. The dance floor was absolutely on fire and playing up in the woods in Mendocino is an unforgettable experience. Thanks for including us and trusting us. We loved every minute!

    P.S. I received your heartfelt thank you card in the mail - that was really encouraging. I appreciate it!

    The consummate professionals!

    We were so fortunate to have this amazing Band perform at our daughter's wedding at the Tradition Golf Club in La Quinta. They are extremely professional, talented and engaging. They have an extensive song list and created a fun and energetic atmosphere at the reception. All the guests commented on how fabulous the band was. I am already looking at opportunities to bring them back to Tradition.

    The Class Band Delivered the Goods

    The Class Band was a hit! We received many positive reviews from our wedding guests. Gabe was always easy to get ahold of and was quick to respond when we were finalizing plans. Highly recommend The Class Band - book them as early as possible!

    Best wedding band!!!

    My husband and I worked with The Class for our wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. THEY WERE AMAZING and exactly what we were looking for. Gabe was so friendly, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond which is always a huge plus when planning a wedding. The band learned 2 songs for us, one of which they learned for both the processional (instrumental) and then played at the end of the reception (with vocals). They kept everyone dancing all night and played a variety of genres / eras to keep all of the guests singing along. They already had our first dance song on their list which was even more perfect. So many of my friends and family have told me how much they loved our band. I would recommend to everyone!!

    Great sound and good energy

    The class were an amazing wedding band. Gabe, who was our point of contact, was very responsive to our emails, and calls, and really helpful with choosing songs for the bridal march etc.. The Class were able to learn a couple of songs for us, so we could have the first dance song we wanted, and they did an amazing job with it. They also handled the MC duties for us and kept the wedding running smoothly throughout the night.

    Immaculate vibes

    The class band totally rocks! Gabe was extremely communicative during the planning process and we felt he really cared about us. Our dance floor was never empty! Their vibe is super fun and they were very easy to work with. Great selection of songs to choose from and the two new learned songs sounded fantastic!

    Amazing cover band!

    We had The Class Band perform at our wedding in September 2022 and could not have been happier with them! Gabe is such a thoughtful person and was so easy and accommodating to work out logistics with. They band learned two songs specially for our big day and they turned out great. We have had so many comments from our wedding guests about how amazing the band was! We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

    Hire this band!

    My husband and I had such a great experience with the Class Band at our recent wedding at the Stanly Ranch in Napa. Before finding the Class Band, I struggled to find a band that sounded great, had a wide repertoire and wasn't cheesy. As soon as I found the Class Band by some stroke of luck, I knew they were right for us! Leading up to the big day, Gabe was responsive, organized and flexible. They agreed to do our wedding even though it meant driving overnight to their next wedding the following day, which blew me away! They sent their extensive song list and allowed us to choose songs for them to play live, but we were able to use our own Spotify playlists for cocktail hour, breaks, etc. which was the perfect setup! If that wasn't enough, they also learned several new songs to play live for our parent dances that sounded great. The band did an amazing job all night -- people were having a blast on the dance floor (my husband was even crowd surfing at one point) and we got so many compliments from friends and family about the band's sound. They pulled off everything from Whitney Houston to the Weeknd and everything in between. They also did a great job acting as MC / announcer. We couldn't be happier with our experience with the Class Band and hope our paths cross again in the future.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    You will not regret using The Class for your wedding. They are incredibly easy to work with, helpful for picking music, and very flexible. They traveled halfway across the country to give us the wedding of our dreams! Our dance floor was full until the very last song and our guests couldn't stop raving about the band. I cannot give enough praise to this amazing group!

    The Class was absolutely amazing, they nailed our first dance song and even two months later we still have guests tell us how much fun they had because of the band! They helped make the flow of the reception go so smoothly and we couldn’t be more happy with how everything went!

    Thank you to The Class Band for helping make our day the BEST!!!

    The Class Band was WAY more than just a band for the night. Not only did they keep our dance floor full ALL night, but Gabe and his team also helped with ceremony sound, playlist selection, MC'ing and SO much more. As we approached our wedding date, we had loads of questions. Gabe was beyond kind to us and answered every single question while making sure that everything we wanted to happen that night would happen in the most seamless way. It felt like we were in a movie and it was so easy to work with them. Needless to say, one of the highlights of our wedding was having The Class Band there. People keep telling us that the band was their favorite part of the night! We feel so lucky. Thank you all so much for helping to make our day the happiest day of our lives!

We have gotten SO many compliments on you guys and not only how amazing you guys sounded, but how awesome your personalities are, how great you all looked, and how well you mixed up songs!

    Best Live Band for Wedding or Any Event!

    Gabe and The Class Band are FIRST CLASS and the greatest!! They were recommended to me by our wedding venue, and booking them was one of the first things I did early on because I know how important it is to secure wedding entertainment. And these guys, for good reason, book up FAST! They will play anything and everything, and everyone has a fabulous time when they're singing and playing the tunes! Our wedding was a dream come true, and we are so grateful to have had them there entertaining all of our guests!

    Flexible and Fantastic!

    The Class was the perfect entertainment for our wedding! We loved their vibe and energy from the first time we met them. Given we had multiple sites at our venue for us to have music and entertainment throughout the course of the day, they were able to be flexible and offer lots of options, from gear, mics, sound systems, live music, and recorded. The best part was the reception, where we had 7+ band members on stage bringing down the house! Everyone was really impressed, and we couldn't believe the sound quality, it felt like the level of a professional production.

    Thanks again for the best night ever!

    The Class was awesome!

    We hired The Class Band for our wedding at the Wilshire Ebell in Los Angeles this February. They were SO awesome and fun! We added some instruments (I believe we had an 8 or 9 piece band) which made it even cooler. These guys are truly incredible musicians and they really kept the party going. We had people dancing on the dance floor until the last song! They were easy to communicate with and they have a HUGE selection of songs they can play. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a band to play your wedding!

    The Class Band is amazing! As a planner, I have the opportunity to work with many vendors. The Class is very talented, fun, and puts on a good show. They are communicative, accommodating, and are great to work with. I would hire them any day, and you should too! You won't regret it!

    First Class Act!

    These guys were great in all respects. From the communication, to the song selection to the actual performance, everything was perfect. The videos speak for themselves - great musicians and will make any event better. In addition, they were very easy to work with - exceptional communication and very reliable. If you're looking for a great wedding band, I would definitely recommend you book The Class!

    5 star Band

    Words do not do it justice how incredibly special the Class was as our wedding band. They were professional, fun, and so personable. They made my wedding even more special but adding what they do best. This is a no brainer if you are looking for a band for your wedding. They are 10 out of 10.
