Danielle Sent on 11/11/2023A Wedding Band Beyond Compare!
My husband and I are still on cloud nine from the incredible experience The Silver Alchemist band provided on our big day! When we started to plan our wedding, my husband and I determined that one of our "big 3 wedding priorities" (the 3 we couldn't live without) was that we wanted an AMAZING band. Andre and The Silver Alchemist band did not disappoint! From start to finish, Silver Alchemist demonstrated not only their exceptional musical talents but also their unwavering dedication to making our wedding day truly magical.
On the big day, Silver Alchemist set the perfect tone with their music, creating an atmosphere filled with love, joy, and an amazing energy. The top-tier quality of their sound and the unmatched musical abilities of each band member were immediately apparent. The variety in their repertoire was outstanding, catering to all ages and musical preferences. Our guests were on their feet from the first note to the last, and the dance floor was alive with energy throughout the entire reception. Silver Alchemist seamlessly transitioned between genres and styles, showcasing not only their talent but also their versatility.
Not only were they musically exceptional, but the professionalism of Andre and the band was also commendable. They were punctual, well-prepared, and seamlessly integrated with other aspects of the wedding. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special did not go unnoticed, and we received numerous compliments from our guests about the fantastic live music (and are still getting compliments 2 months later)!!
If you're searching for a wedding band that goes above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience, look no further than The Silver Alchemist's. Their passion for music, genuine desire to contribute to the joy of your day, and the top-tier quality of their sound and musical expertise make them a standout choice. Thank you, Silver Alchemist for being an integral part of our big day!The Silver Alchemist's reply:
Thank you so much Danielle! You, your family, and your guests were all so wonderful. We all had an amazing time. Thanks for sharing these photos!

We are so happy we chose Silver Alchemist for our wedding! They curated the set list perfectly and kept the dance floor going all night long. We opted for continuous music, and it was beyond worth it — the energy never dropped for a second.
Their range was incredible — from “Joy of My Life” for our first dance to “September” to “Pink Pony Club,” every song was executed flawlessly. So many of our guests came up to tell us how amazing the band was, and we couldn’t agree more.
We truly can’t recommend them enough! -

Amazing! So much fun energy and a joy to work with from start to finish. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was going with them for both ceremony and reception music.The Silver Alchemist's reply:
Hello Julie,
Thank you for the wonderful review! We all had a great time celebrating with you and your guests. Wishing you all the best! -

Jenny Sent on 09/01/2025Hire this band!
Andre and the band truly made our wedding the best experience. From the ceremony music, to the end of the night where my husband was singing Mr Brightside, they didn't miss a beat. I am from Chicago but had a wedding in Wisconsin where the band traveled to so most of my guests had not heard of them. I am getting almost daily comments on how fun the band was and if they can use them for their upcoming events. I wish I was getting married again just to dance the night away again! They knew all the right songs to play and kept everyone on the dance floor all night which was our biggest request. -

We hired The Silver Alchemist to play our wedding reception and had a fantastic experience. They were professional, communicative, tremendously talented musicians, and gave the whole event an awesome energy. Our guests were dancing the whole time they were playing. We also had a couple of very particular song requests that they pulled off with aplomb, including accompanying the groom on vocals for one number. All of the band members were excellent musicians, and it was easy to work with André, the bandleader, about the timeline and logistics of the event. Silver Alchemist also provided audio equipment for the wedding ceremony, which had a few unusual requirements (a large amount of vocal microphones and instrument inputs for musical performances during the ceremony), but this was absolutely no problem. They provided a DJ for the afterparty as well, which was very fun, kept people dancing, and proceeded without a hitch. -

We chose Silver Alchemist for our wedding and they blew us away! Having not seen them perform live we went off a recommendation from our wedding planner - they did not disappoint. André was so accommodating during our initial conversations and in the last few weeks leading up to our wedding with our requests. Silver Alchemist had the dance floor overflowing all night and we couldn't have had a better time! -

Clare Sent on 07/02/2025High energy, amazing band with horns!
We couldn't recommend the Silver Alchemist more! They had a super high-energy, fun vibe, with great vocals and amazing horns (trumpet, sax). They were super easy to work with and learned a few songs for us as well. We honestly think they're the reason why so many people told us our wedding was one of the most fun they've ever been to! -

When my fiance and I were choosing a band for our wedding, we thought about the most fun weddings we've been to and why -- in thinking back, The Silver Alchemist was the reason we fondly recall having fun at a previous wedding! We reached out with excitment knowing this band was going to be amazing and memorable and they did not disappoint! From the beginning, working with Andre, we reviewed the style of music, song choices, what they offered and vibe of our wedding reception together. Andre worked with us and our budget to put a band together that both met our financial and musical needs. Andre worked with us and our Cantor to put music together for our wedding ceremony, learning new music and working our wedding planner on the ceremony timing. We were impressed with the contract and song offerings as well - very clear, detailed and professional. Andre had amazing communication and we felt down to the last detail, the band know what we were looking for and want music we wanted to hear. Our wedding reception hora, dancing and music was so fun and memorable for us and our guests. We had the best time at our reception and love looking at the photos and videos of us dancing to the band. Andre and the band had a beautiful set up on the stage, with lighting, brought talented singers and musicians. We cannot thank Andre and the band for all the support in planning our wedding but also in making our wedding ceremony and reception unforgettable. We continue to get compliments on how fun our wedding reception was and we have The Silver Alchemist to thank for that. We are so glad we chose The Silver Alchemist and would highly recommend this band to anyone! -

Kent Sent on 11/23/2024This is THE Band
The Silver Alchemists were everything we could have hoped for from our wedding band! The number one comment we received from our guest was that the band was incredible. They were fantastic to work with - very chill yet very responsive. In our first meeting we discussed concerns we had with sound and volume, because we had been to a few weddings recently where the band just blew guests away with sound - you know exactly what I'm talking about. The Silver Alchemists understood that and totally nailed it. They rocked and played the venue perfectly. Musically, everyone was great. In addition to that, they were so good to work with and the forms and processes they developed worked really well for us to make sure everything was perfect. We can't recommend them highly enough! -

Annelise Sent on 10/04/2024The Silver Alchemist: This is What Dreams Are Made Of
Hiring The Silver Alchemist was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. From start to finish, André and his team were amazing, meeting with us multiple times to ensure every detail was flawless. When it came to the big day, their performance exceeded all expectations—we couldn’t have asked for more!
They even learned three new songs, including a special string piece, with only a few days’ notice. One of the bride’s biggest requests was to end the night with Hilary Duff's "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of," and they delivered it perfectly. The MC kept the energy going strong, and our bridal party was thrilled to discover the cellist had worked with Taylor Swift!
Our guests can’t stop talking about how incredible the band was, and we couldn’t agree more—we danced the night away and will always cherish the unforgettable music and energy they brought to our celebration.The Silver Alchemist's reply:
Thanks so much Annelise! You and Jack were such a fun couple to work with and your guests all came ready to party. Wishing you all the best!

Autumn Sent on 12/15/2023Book them! They're amazing!
The Silver Alchemist was one of our favorite parts about our wedding! We had so many people texting us after asking who the band was and how they were so impressed. They were able to keep the dance floor full through the end of the night and even had our grandmas out dancing! Additionally, the Silver Alchemist, and specifically Andre, was amazing to work with and answered any questions we had very promptly. We 10/10 recommend working with the Silver Alchemist! -

The talent in this band is just ridiculous. You will often be asking yourself whether the band is playing or you are listening to the record. In my opinion, best wedding band in the Midwest.
