    A standing ovation for The Ovation Band!

    The Ovation Band played at our daughter’s June 17, 2023 wedding ceremony and reception at The Lake Club. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but we were worry-free when it came to the musical entertainment for that day. Marc arranged the timeline of events for both the ceremony and reception and led the evening for us. Marc and his team have a passion for music and it shows! Throughout the evening, Marc and other members of the band were on the dance floor interacting with our guests - it made our guests feel like they were part of the show! The music, and the energy behind it, kept the dance floor full all night long. Prior to the wedding Marc met with us and guided us , (with much patience!), with song choices for the ceremony and wedding reception dances. He went above and beyond! Thank you Ovation for making Kaleigh and Ross’ wedding day a dream come true. We couldn’t have done it without you!

    A band that will keep guests dancing ALL NIGHT

    This band exceeded all of our expectations. They kept the dance floor packed for 4 hours, and our guests (age 18-93) packed the dance floor. We were told over and over again that this was the best wedding band our guests had ever heard and we totally agree. They are professional, they can read the room, and they are great musicians.

    They were great to work with!

    I own an event planning company and was the day-of coordinator for the wedding we worked together! The band was FANTASTIC to work with and very responsive!! They did a great job the night of the wedding and kept everyone dancing!! Thank you for being such great team players and making the reception so much fun!

    Ovation recently played at my husband’s birthday celebration where we hosted a party of multigenerational attendees. Aside from the fact that they were prompt and responsive with communication they were also willing and eager to accommodate our musical choices ranging from jazz, rock, R&B and classic standards with finesse, they brought everyone to their feet for a memorable and great evening! Thank you Mark and his band for making this party one we won’t soon forget!!!!

    My daughter got married July 14, 2018! I had been looking for a band that was going to have the dance floor packed all night and decided to book with Ovation! We couldn’t have picked a better band! It was exactly what we wanted...the band was excellent, the song selections were appropriate and well known to everyone and the dance floor was filled from the moment dancing began until it was time to turn off the lights and go home! We wish it could have lasted way longer than it was and was dancing for days after! Highly recommended!!

The Ovation Band is professional in every way and knows how to get your guests up out of their seats and on the dance floor making your event one that no one will forget!

    The Ovation band was amazing! They were our first choice of wedding bands and worth every penny. They sounded great and the dance floor was packed the entire night. We got so many compliments from the guests about how awesome the band was. They came highly recommend and I would highly recommend them to others!

    Remarkable!

    Mark and his band played for our Oct 2017 wedding at Drake's Landing. Working with him was a care free process from beginning to end. We met once in person to establish a timeline for the evening and review song preferences. He was also available by text/email whenever we had any questions thereafter (with prompt replies). The band did everything possible to accommodate our song requests. They even put together a custom arrangement for our father/daughter dance and were willing to learn a couple songs not on their set list.

    The reception itself flowed flawlessly. We did not have a coordinator for the evening, so Mark made sure we stayed on schedule while acting as our emcee for the night. During the few short band breaks, a seamless transition was made from live band to DJ'd music so that our guests were continuously on the dance floor. Select band members interacted with our guests on the dance floor and throughout the venue while performing which kept the crowd lively all evening.

    Most importantly, the quality of the music was impeccable. The vocals were wonderful and the band sounded as if it was composed of high quality musicians.

    You won't go wrong with choosing this band for your event, especially for one of your most memorable ones. We are truly happy that we did.

    Ovation is hands down THE best wedding band out there! All of our wedding guests had an absolute blast dancing to the wide variety of music they played. We met with Marc once before our wedding and he was so easy to work with and such a nice guy! Nobody ever left the dance floor (except for when we cut the cake)! I would recommend Ovation to anyone looking to book music for their special event!

    “Wow”, what can we say! We feel very privledged to have had The Ovation Band as our wedding band. Not only did you blow us away but I can’t believe how many people commented on how amazing you were. The fact that there were guests who i have NEVER seen dance in public on the dancefloor the whole night is testament to you all.
    You really made our wedding so enjoyable for us and our guests. The atmosphere was amazing and the floor was packed all night. Thank you for making our wedding memorable. Big thanks to Marc who made the process so easy and stress free!

    The Ovation Band is an amazing group of musicians that delighted our guests with their talent and personality. They truly helped make our event, the Eye Ball of the Valley, a huge success. Everyone was raving about the great music!! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding entertainment for a wedding, charity fundraiser, private party, etc...

    My husband and I got married at stambaugh auditorium in June 2014. We were given some information on the ovation band and realized they were playing at a local restaurant that Friday, so we decided to go and see them. At about the 3rd song into the night we both looked at each other and knew they were the band for us! We introduced ourselves to Marc pupino and booked right away. The ovation band brings a type of energy with fun songs across several genres and their guests who never leave the dance floor! The ovation band was professional and courteous! We know have been to several other weddings and back to see them perform at the fireplace!

    Thanks to Marc and the rest of the ovation band for continuing to get us out on the dance floor and for an amazing evening!!!

    There is nothing like having a live band at a wedding and The Ovation Band was the hit of our wedding's evening! The music was great and entertaining. It was a wonderful way to celebrate and enjoy the night.

    I can't say enough about Ovation. As a bride on your wedding day, you're floating through the reception trying to say hello to everyone. In the majority of these brief conversations with our guests, they raved about the band and wanted to know all about them. For our first dance, the band learned a new song they've never played before ... and it was better than the original. Marc was amazing throughout the night and the music truly made a lasting impression on everyone. Thank you to every Ovation member for exceeding ALL expectations. We'll remember the horns, voices, and dance moves forever.

    The Ovation Band literally did everything we asked of them. Every special request we had they took care of. They all enjoyed our wedding reception just as much as our guests & that meant a lot to my husband and I. We live in South Carolina but we were getting married back in Ohio which was ‘home’ for both of us & they were very flexible in accommodating days and times that worked with when we would be in town. Highly recommend them!
