So much fun!
The Original Moonlighters brought so much fun and energy to our celebration! I got compliments on the band all night. They even honored my request and learned to play “Come on Eileen” for my mom (named Eileen). -

Versatile & Fun Band
We loved our experience with the Original Moonlighters. They offered a range of genres/time periods and accommodated our setlist requests. A highlight was the female vocalist crushing Proud Mary and forming a line of ladies! They had the guests clamoring for more after the encore! Highly recommend. -

Amazing wedding band
We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun. -

Incredible Band
As soon as the band started, just about every wedding guest was on the dance floor for the rest of the night. Their great music and charm brought so much energy to the party and made for an unforgettable night of dancing. The "Original" Moonlighters were wonderful to work with: very professional, personable and flexible during COVID-19. I cannot recommend them enough - they truly made our wedding night and people are still asking about "the amazing band" we had!-

Life of the Party
We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding in January 2022. They were OUTSTANDING!! Everyone of all ages were constantly dancing. Our guests repeatedly told us this is the best band they have heard at weddings. Definitely recommend and should hire! -

Hire The Original Moonlighters! The best wedding band!
The Original Moonlighters are the best! We hired them as our wedding band back in 2019 and we ended up having to reschedule our wedding twice due to Covid. The Original Moonlighters were extremely kind, flexible, and easy to work with. We are SO glad they were available for our rescheduled wedding date in June 2021. Our wedding reception was a blast because of this band! They played a fantastic song selection and really got the dance floor going. The band was so engaging with us and our guests - it was fun because they were having a great time, too! We loved the Motown songs they played, and our guests of all ages were dancing. The Original Moonlighters are absolutely the best band for a wedding reception, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We had a wonderful party thanks to this band! Do yourself a favor and hire The Original Moonlighters! -

The most incredible band!
We cannot say enough about the Original Moonlighters!!! Will, the manager was very attentive to email and communicating throughout the entire process. We ended up getting the 8 piece band, and it was money well spent! The band and singers are phenomenal! It was so much more like attending a concert, than a typical wedding band. They even learned our wedding song. If you are in to Motown, jazz or funk, this is the band for you! We loved how they were able to read the crowd and choose songs to get everyone up dancing. They even took requests. At one point, they even had all the ladies doing a choreographed dance to Rolling Down the River. The band truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having great time. Our guests are still talking about how awesome our band was. Thank you for making our wedding so special and unforgettable!!! -

Do You Remember...
the 21st night of September? Woooh! Me and Cody will be remembering that night for the rest of our lives, as will all our dancing guests. Our planner recommended the Original Moonlighters band, and it was the best decision we ever could've made. Dressed up all cute and handsome in their matching blue suits and bowties, from the very first note, the party was "on". Some folks were up dancing instead of eating their dinners even...and after they played a perfect "Let's Stay Together" for our first dance, nobody would leave the dance floor!!! Then they starting hitting on Bruno Mars, and totally brought the HOUSE DOWN, of course playing lots of Earth Wind and Fire to celebrate our special day...trust me when I say it: this band is LIT, and you need to hire them for your own wedding (if you want everyone dancing, that is). -

Wedding Dreams Come True...
Our perfect wedding became a reality thanks to the Original Moonlighters. We wanted an energetic band for getting our guests up dancing, and these guys (and gals) exceeded all expectations. People were even dancing during dinner! They played EVERYTHING, including 3 encores because nobody wanted to leave. And now we're still getting compliments about our awesome band. All I can say is WOW!!! -

Our feet still hurt from dancing, lol!
Yes, they do!!! I've been to TONS of weddings with boring DJ music, so we decided to hire a live band covering all the classics and top 40 hits. But the Moonlighters pretty much know every song in the universe, so it was an easy decision. Pricing was reasonable, they took all our requests, and even personalized some songs with our names...now how cute is THAT??? But when they let our family members on stage, singing a couple songs with the band, it brought the whole house down!!! You guys totally rock, and we're already making plans to book you again for our family reunion next yr. -

Simply Superb!
We love everything about The “Original” Moonlighters - their incredible talent, sound, energy, and song selection will wow your guests and make your event memorable!! They worked with us in advance on the Bride’s surprise song for her Groom. The band kept the energy high and fun from the very beginning of our reception, and they continued to wow everyone throughout the evening. Our guests packed the dance floor throughout the night, and everyone loved the music and the band. We have continued to receive compliments on the band, several days after the wedding. -

We're dancers and finding a fun band covering all the styles was key! Taking requests and reading the crowd, they literally kept 150 people out on the floor for 3 solid hours...YESSS!!! The Moonlighters are are so nice, fun and very talented. Thank you again! -

OMG! Where do I begin? Everyone was so nice and accommodating before, during and even after our wedding day. Manager, bandleader, and musicians were totally on point. I wish all my other vendors were this awesome. We had some venue and timing issues, but they didn't miss a beat, handling all the last-minute changes with big smiles on their faces, making the day much less stressful. Learning special songs, making announcements, even having my brother sit in with them on drums...no problemo! AND keeping our guests dancing all night long: 20 year-olds, 30/40-somethings and even the 70 year-olds were totally getting down!!! -

I was a bit nervous hiring a wedding band online, but the Moonlighters reviews and videos were excellent! And as soon as they started playing, we knew it was the best possible decision...they were outstanding and definitely the highlight of our entire night (besides getting married), so a big THANK YOU, again! -

So we decided to splurge on our wedding band, hiring The Original Moonlighters after seeing them at a friend's wedding back in 2014...I've been to over 20 weddings in DC with live bands, and nobody even comes close for playing all the tunes, bringing the energy, keeping everyone on the dance floor, etc. Hiring the 10 pce. band with full horn section was surprisingly cheaper than what we expected too!!! Working with their manager was super easy, and let me tell you, they all put on a SHOW!!! Family and friends are still talking. So keep on doing what you do b/c you guys are AWESOME!!! -

The band was awesome. Everyone loved them. They played the right music and got everyone dancing. Can't say enough good things. Our wedding was a black tie affair and they came all decked out in tuxes. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants an epic wedding. -

OMG! Where do I even begin? These guys are sooo talented...and they play everything from swing and oldies during dinner for the grandparents to Motown/classic rock that totally fills the dance floor non-stop!!! And then late into the night they break out the JT, M5 and Bruno for all the younger folks...partaaay, lol! Working with them was super easy, they're extremely talented, VERY nice, and reasonably priced. So don't hesitate...you must book this band!!! -

Planning our own wedding, budget was a major issue. But our #1 priority was having a dynamic live band for getting everyone out on the dance floor. Our wedding planner recommended the Original Moonlighters, and after checking out their online reviews, emailing some past clients and talking with their manager we were totally sold. The keyboardist learned several songs for our ceremony and played them beautifully. And when it was time to party, the band had all our guests out on the dance floor non-stop!!! In fact, the musicians only took one short break during the entire three hrs. Otherwise, whatever we wanted played they were totally on point! We hired the 8 piece, and that package was surprisingly affordable, including stage lights and MC services. They looked great in their matching suits and our guests can't stop talking about how friendly and talented everyone was. Thank you, Moonlighters, for making our wedding a dream come true! -

We hired the Original Moonlighters from a google search for Motown wedding band in DC. They were the first to pop up, and boy did we make a good choice. They brought such a fun party to our wedding. Will (manager) was incredible to work with-- super responsive, and worked hard to make your timeline fit. The band was talented, played a good assortment of fun music and mixed in a few slower tunes too. My mom and I sang a song with them (You Can't Hurry Love) which was SO much fun.
During the ceremony, they let us use speakers (and we were supposed to have a mic but that wasn't there) that hooked up to an ipod for our ceremony music. They offer piano soloist, but we wanted specific songs. We had a jazz trio during cocktail hour too.-

The “Original” Moonlighters performed at our daughter’s wedding reception on May 5th at the Potomac View Terrace. We first learned of the band when they played at our goddaughter’s wedding a few years ago. The "Original" Moonlighters perform a broad range of music as you can tell by viewing their website. We have received many favorable compliments about the band’s performance from our guests, as well as our daughter and new son-in-law. In addition, we found their manager to be responsive to our inquiries and requests and would highly recommend you consider the them for your event. We are sure you will be pleased. -

The Original Moonlighters is hands down the BEST motown/variety band in the DC area! They recently played at our wedding reception in Old Town Alexandria and absolutely brought down the house - everyone is still raving about how they are the best wedding band they have ever seen. They truly made our wedding the best day of our lives and the most fun party we have ever been to! The male and female vocalist have incredible voices and would come into the crowd during songs which added to the fun. All of the musicians are so talented, and they performed each song as good if not better than the original. They are also great at feeding off the crowd and always seemed to play the right song at the right time. The booking process with William was straightforward and easy, and the price was excellent value for money compared to other bands in the area (that aren't as good!). We can't recommend this band highly enough to future brides and grooms - you are guaranteed to have the most fun wedding of your dreams!! -

The best decision I made for my wedding, besides choosing my partner, was selecting the Original Moonlighters as our band.
Our wedding was somewhat intimate with 60 guests, ranging in age from 18 to 77. We were concerned about finding a band that could appeal to such a broad age range with eclectic musical tastes, but this band more than appealed to our guests. They had everyone on the dance floor smiling and having a spectacular time.
The band included two vocalists and four instrumentalists for a three-hour event that included the dinner hour and two hours of dancing. For the dinner hour, the band played beautiful jazz music, which allowed the guests to enjoy their dinner and conversation with soothing music playing in the background. The dancing portion of the night kicked off with the song, At Last by Etta James that was beautifully performed by their female vocalist. In fact, I think she sounded better than the original artist. From there, the band transitioned smoothly from one genre to the next with pure talent. Almost all of the guests were on the dance floor throughout the night dancing, laughing and having a great time.
Not only was the music by this band flawless but they were also very professional, fun, easy to work with and even attired themselves in my wedding colors. You cannot go wrong in hiring this band; they will make your wedding event the talk of the town.

The Original Moonlighters are a legend. People talk about bands that elevate a mere party to the status of a mythical event. People talk about bands that can speak to everyone: young, old, white, black, local, and foreign; bands that transcend these separations. In my life as a former wedding caterer, I’ve seen dozens of wedding bands and DJs show up, play some music and leave. Very rarely does a band even manage to make any kind of difference, let alone transcend division. The Original Moonlighters not only manages to transcend, but now exists in the mind of our wedding guests of our mixed-race wedding as the band responsible for creating the best time many of us have ever had.
Their musical knowledge and skill are considerable and impressive, but even skilled musicians are a dime a dozen. What sets The Original Moonlighters apart is their openness, attentiveness and care. They willingly learned our favorite song for our first dance and it was amazing! They have mastered the elusive and subtle skills of reading the room and caring about what each person actually felt is a good time. Everyone at the reception from 90 year old world-traveling grandmas to down-south country cousins to hard-working family from the mid-west to teenagers to 5-year-olds who have never heard most of the songs previously got up and danced until their legs went out. They helped us to see that even though we all may be from different places, have vastly different experiences, and different skin colors, we are all one family. The band wasn’t just folks who played at our wedding --they were a true part of it.
We are deeply grateful for their performance, care, and emotion. We wholeheartedly recommend them for your wedding. Their music is beautiful and the emotional memories it will leave in your heart are easily worth their reasonable and fair booking fee. Don’t wait, book them now. -

The Moonlighters absolutely made our wedding the most amazing night of our lives. ALL of our guests were dancing the entire night, and they all raved about how amazing the band sang/played/danced. Not a single person was sitting once the music got started. The band had the most incredible energy, and as the bride, made me feel like they were singing all of their songs just for me. Literally ... they played every song I requested, kept the music on schedule, and most importantly, kept everyone dancing. They ended the night with such a great energy, no one wanted to leave! We are SO HAPPY they were available for our wedding ... thank you Vance and the Moonlighters for making our wedding so much fun. We wish you the best, and please don't ever stop playing! -

Trust me, you want to book this band! We were a bit nervous about the band for our wedding just because we had booked them without ever having heard them play - always a bit of a risk. We had absolutely NOTHING to worry about. The Original Moonlighters had everyone on the dance floor all night long! They were engaging, fun, not to mention they sound incredible. If you're looking for a classic wedding band that plays all the best songs, this is absolutely the place to go. We would do it all again in a heartbeat! It was the perfect vibe for our reception - book them now! -

The "Original" Moonlighters made our wedding 'party' come alive!!! D.J.'s can be great, but you can't beat a LIVE band to
keep your guests on the dance floor. The "Original" Moonlighters have a massive playlist- from oldies to UpTown Funk!!
Your guests of all ages will be WOW'd. They also handle all of your D.J. needs and are very flexible.
Thanks from a VERY satisfied M.O.B. -

Cannot say enough about how amazing The Original Moonlighters were at my wedding! We had 190 people at the wedding and as soon as dinner was over everyone was up and dancing for the entire reception. We had the 9-piece band and highly recommend them. We were thrilled with how many genres they could cover from oldies to Motown, pop, funk, rock, etc. Their musicians handled cocktail hour with a solo keyboardist and a dinner jazz trio as well. It could not have been easier working with the band as they were always accessible by phone and email. My wife and I could not be happier with the band, don’t hesitate to book them! Thanks to The Original Moonlighters for making our day that much more special. -

The original moonlighters played at my wedding in September and they were amazing. I was a little nervous as I never heard them in person and picked them based on wedding wire reviews but I was not disappointed. They got everyone on the dance floor and made the wedding so fun. Will their manager was also really great to coordinate with, being extremely responsive prior to the date. Highly recommend!!! -

The agent and all band members showed the highest degree of professionalism. Our guests were totally in love with this group and the variety of music they could play. But most important, my daughter--"THE BRIDE"--could not have been happier after it was all over that we had selected "The Original Moonlighters" for her wedding. We are still getting comments from our guest on how much they loved this band. Thanks to all the band members who helped make my daughter's wedding a remarkable day. -

The "Original" Moonlighters were fabulous. The music during dinner was very elegant and did not compete with the conversation. Then they revved it up with the dancing - the floor was full all night. Great fun!!

The Original Moonlighters provided an amazing performance for our wedding reception at Ceresville Mansion. Vance and his band were exceptional and performed a wide variety of selections. Every guest was out on the dance floor and days later talked about the wonderful performance by the band. We would highly recommend the Original Moonlighters for a wedding reception or any event. They were extremely professional and a lot of fun! -

You can stop your search for a professional, rocking, get-'em-up-and-dancing band right now.
The Moonlighters were sensational. They exceeded our expectations and kept the party going until the absolute end. Nearly everyone stayed until the final note. I can't say enough! -

The Moonlighters were great. They were very professional, and helped us out with all the wedding announcements as well as playing great music. We received many compliments on how good the band was. If people weren't dancing, they had the reception chairs pulled up concert style to watch the guys play. Thanks fellas. -

Many thanks to this band for bringing fun & enthusiasm to our recent wedding! The music was perfect for the mood we were trying to achieve and the band members were all incredibly professional. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you to the band for your understanding and patience at the end of our reception - I know it got a little wild! Another thank you for providing music during dinner and at the end of your set. We had brought our own but there seemed to be some miscommunication with our wedding planner as to getting it played. We are so grateful you were well prepared! -

The Moonlighters simply ROCKED. Our crowd was up and dancing BEFORE they served dinner. They met all of our needs and played the songs in the right order and at the correct times. Towards the end of the evening, they played Sweet Home Alabama right on cue. It brought the house down! Our guests were amazed at their performance and we're still receiving great feedback from people weeks later. The Moonlighters took our wedding to the next level. I would suggest them to anyone. William Goldman and the band are top-notch professionals. We'll use them again. Best, Amos and Whitney Snead (Washington, D.C.) -

These guys fit the bill perfectly for our Spring Fraternity Formal. Every suggestion/recommendation we had for them, they followed to a T, and they kept people on the dancefloor constantly. We gave them a direction to go in, as far as the setlist, and they took it from there, and we were not disappointed. These guys were some very talented musicians that played with a lot of soul, and if that is what you are looking for, then by all means book this band right now. The Moonlighters are highly recommended! -

They made my wedding. Velvet voices, soothing sounds, dressed in tuxedos. Everyone loved, loved, loved the band. They sung every request we asked, effortlessly. The band was prompt, and professional. After my groom, gave me a toast.....they played a song that reflected the moment perfectly. It was a great time. If you want a stellar Motown band do not hesitant to contact the Moonlighters. I am already planning to hire them for my party next year. Great Band. -

The moonlighters were a fabulous addition to our wedding. The music was so fun that it really made the night. So many guests raved about the band. They even learned our college fight song and mixed it into a medley of songs. It was awesome. They were also very easy to work with and very professional on the day of. The only negative that I can say is that they did not end up playing all of our requested list (no Shout?!). Perhaps our list was too long, but that would have been good to know so we could have prioritized. You should definitely hire the Moonlighters for your next event, just be sure you get on the same page about the playlist before the event. -

I've been working with lots of different bands over the years as a planner, and without hesitation, I always recommend The Original Moonlighters. They're an absolute dream to work with, and all of my clients adore them!!!

DON'T HESITATE! The Original Moonlighters were the BEST wedding band!!! We wanted a good variety of songs that kept everyone dancing all night, and they delivered and then some!
Their musical talent was awesome, and the playlist couldn't have been better. They were also ready to roll with the punches when unplanned things occurred, like an over-served groomsman jumping on stage and being the lead singer for an entire song, or when they broke into an impromptu version of "The Stars at Night" on the trumpet for our guests, half of whom were from Texas.
They were absolutely incredible and just MADE our reception. The dinner music they played was classy and made us feel like we were at the most chic of events, and the dance music after dinner was just so much fun. They are laid back, easy to work with and receptive to ideas. They're great at MCing the event, as well, and keeping a good flow throughout the evening for things like the cake cutting, first dance, intros, bouquet toss, send off...and "Shout!" as the last song was the best three minutes of my entire life.
They're awesome, and a great price for this area. BOOK THEM!!! -

The "Original" Moonlighters were great! I had a lot of compliments from our guests about how good the band was. They arrived early, set up within their space, played great music and engaged the "Crowd." They were really kind to us on our wedding day. They could be a bit more responsive about plans for the day of, and they seem to nickel and dime a bit when it comes to making verbal announcements during a reception. All in all a really great band to hire; they're fun. -

I'm a professional musician. So is my wife. And our families. We've been playing music all our lives. Picky is an understatement, and we must've screened at least 30 bands until we found The Moonlighters. Unlike most others out there these days, they actually play their music live. Why spend the money on an actual band if they're just sequencing everything and laying vocals on top??? Plus, these guys actually read an audience, take requests and interact. There's nothing fake/canned about their performance. It's exactly what we were looking for, and we recommend them without any hesitation. -

We wanted a band that could play it all but we didn't want one of those dreadful "cheesy" wedding bands. These guys not only play it all but they do it with such style and finesse, sounding just like the actual singers while still making it their own, dancing and getting everyone all fired up...the PERFECT wedding band, indeed! -

The Moonlighters were AWESOME! We got the 6 piece band and played swing and jazz music all night. Everyone was on the dance floor from little kids to 80 year olds! It was so nice to have old-school, fun, celebratory music instead of the latest beats blasting out "baby got back" from some speakers. My husband and I even took swing dancing lessons for 6 months leading up the the wedding so we could step out in style!
I found it odd that The Moonlighters themselves didn't have a website...but rather I found reviews and descriptions on other informational websites and then booked through their manager, William Goldman. He answered all of my questions quickly and professionally. The only thing that I wish were different was I wished I had gotten MY act together sooner to get our first dance request in. It was a song by a local swing band, that The Moonlighters said they would have happily learned--if I had given them a little more notice than the week before the wedding! (My bad!) -

Music was the biggest deal to me and my husband on our wedding day. The band is extremely talented but did not follow the list I prepared for months. Confirmed it several times that the band could perform and comply with the list. They did not follow instruction. My maid of honor even gave them hard copy AGAIN at set break and they still failed to play what we wanted. I would say they played 5 out of 30 songs that were vital. I still look back pretty disappointed on how our music selection turned out. -

We decided to go with the Original Moonlighters after reading multiple reviews and speaking directly with some people who had them play at their wedding. We had never personally heard them before, but we had heard such good things about them and they seemed like just the kind of vibe we were going for.
Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. I will say that communication with William (the band's rep) was quick and easy. The ceremony music sounded nice. That's pretty much where the positives end.
One of the most important jobs a wedding band has (in my opinion) is the timing of their music and getting the crowd excited. Unfortunately the Moonlighters's timing/enthusiasm throughout the night was lacking. The lead singer was extremely unenthused, I don't think she cracked a smile all night. There were times when the band should have played music (such as parent and wedding party introductions, an impromptu well known beatles song that was part of someone's speech, a request for another well-known song by Stevie Wonder) that they did not play any music or refused, saying that they didn't know the songs. There were a few times throughout the night that I was signaling to them to start playing music-- isn't that their job?! Pretty sure I shouldn't have to be the one worrying about the music. They sounded okay once they finally did start playing, but at points their sound was messed up. I truly don't know why we paid them as much as we did, seeing as they probably only played a total of about an hour and a half of music the entire night.
Additionally, we had spent A LOT of time reviewing the timing of a prerecorded song that we wanted them to play through their speakers as a surprise first dance medley. Somehow that managed to get messed up too.
Needless to say, we had a wonderful time at our wedding, but it wasn't because of the band. I would not recommend. -

To say that this band plays motown music is a complete joke. We hired them for our wedding. They spent the whole night playing pop and oldies. We heard everything from Bruno Mars, to Maroon 5, to Pharrell Williams, to The Wobble, to disco music. I was asked to provide the band a list of song requests from their website. Although I confirmed with them several times, the band COMPLETELY IGNORED MY REQUESTS. I specifically asked for no disco music in our contract. They literally closed the night playing a RECORDING OF THE ELECTRIC SLIDE. That was the "last dance".
I was told I could provide an Ipod with music for the band to play when they took a break. I took forever selecting motown hits so the dancing would be uninterrupted. They didn't even bother to hook it up. The full band for dancing was supposed to start after the dinner. We had booked three of the band members to play background instrumental jazz during the dinner hour. Instead, almost the whole band got up, started singing, and some people thought it was time to dance when dinner was just starting to be served! We asked them twice to turn the music down during dinner so people wouldn't have to scream at each other, to no avail.
I had so been looking forward to a wonderful night dancing with my new husband to my favorite songs. I was completely devastated at this band's lack of care and attention to my requests. -
