Best Band Ever!!

The Special Edition Band was 100% awesome. They kept the energy high for our entire 5-hour reception. Some of the band members go into the crowd and play their respective instrument while dancing with the crowd. So much fun!

The song selection was excellent as well. "I wanted to go get a drink and take a break, but they kept playing great songs so I had to stay and keep dancing" - Sister of the Groom

Friendly people and very accommodating. An absolute pleasure to work with. We would recommend them 10/10 for any event you are having if you want to have the most fun night of your life!

Amazing Band!

The Special Edition Band is top notch! John was easy to work with throughout the entire process and really made my daughter's music dreams come true! The band was interactive and kept our party at the highest of heights all night long! 1000% recommend!

Amazing band!!

We loved having the Special Edition Band play at our wedding! John was incredibly kind and accommodated all of our requests, including learning how to play a specific song for our first dance. We got married in a venue that was a little bit more strict about set up times, and John made sure everything was done on time. They are incredibly talented, and almost everyone I've talked with who was at the wedding has mentioned how amazing the band was. Everyone was up and dancing, even those who typically don't dance at weddings! We also hired them to play jazz music during our cocktail hour, which was a delightful touch to the evening. We can't recommend them enough! One of the best decisions we made!

Special Edition Band for a Special Night!

The Special Edition Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our first dance choreographers had us completely spooked about having our band play our first dance alluding to other couples (with obviously different bands) having trouble with the band playing their song in a manner incorrect to how they practiced. We cut a whole portion out of our first dance song and slowed it down by about 15%, the Special Edition Band did not miss a beat! They played it at the perfect tempo and hit all of the marks. We could not have chosen a more perfect band! We were extremely pleased with the music all day & night long!

Great Band

The Special Edition Band played for our Dance Club at Robson Ranch in Denton. John was great to work with and the band was awesome. They were a lot of fun and kept everyone on their feet. We look forward to having them again soon and highly recommend them.

Great wedding band!

John was easy to work with from the start. We had a string quartet for the ceremony, jazz trio for cocktail hour, and the full band for the reception. All were wonderful! They were so accommodating to our requests and curated a fun atmosphere all night. Everyone loved when they came on the dancefloor with their instruments. We also had them perform our first dance and parent dances- which they did wonderfully.
We would definitely recommend to those looking for a wedding band!

Icing on the cake at the reception!

We hired the Special Edition Band for my daughter's wedding in December 2021. John was very thorough with communication and organization. The band did an excellent job and made the reception so much fun. Even months afterward we run into guests that compliment the band!

Our guests are still talking about them weeks later!!

The Special Edition Band was the highlight of our wedding! We actually first saw them playing at a friend's wedding and we knew that we had to have them at ours! From the very beginning of the planning process, John (the band manager) was super responsive and accommodating to our requests. The entire band was fantastic throughout our whole reception and they were the number one thing talked about at our wedding! Every band member was energetic and they even all came down onto the dance floor to interact with guests while playing for a few songs! Our crowd absolutely loved them and we are still receiving complements on them weeks later. The Special Edition band is a must have for your event, they will be the best vendor that you book!

Highly Recommend

For our wedding, we both agreed that a live band was an absolute must have. The Special Edition Band was everything we could have asked for and more. They learned our special dance songs and played them live, they had a good feel for the vibe of the dance floor and kept everything going. It was such a pleasure to work with John and go over all the details. I would highly recommend this group.

Talented, professional, and fun!

John was so easy to work with and worked well with our other vendors day of to make our day run smoothly without missing a beat! The band is so talented and was able to learn our first dance song so quickly. They really got our guests up and dancing and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding. Thank you! :)

Guests were all dancing!

We had The Special Edition Band at our wedding in July 2021 and they were awesome! People were having so much fun! They also played at our ceremony and helped out with the AV at our ceremony at the Arboretum. They are willing to learn any song and they learned our first dance song. You will not be disappointed and your guests will have a great time!

Highly recommend!

We evaluated (via open house performances) 5 other local bands and are truly grateful for selecting The Special Edition Band for our wedding - a Classical String Quartet for the ceremony, a Jazz Trio for the cocktail hour, and the full 10-piece band for the reception. John Adams worked with us to reschedule the event twice last year due to Covid, and was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. He provided all the guidance we needed to select our preferred pieces for the ceremony and the song selection for the reception. They worked very closely with our Wedding Planner and the venue to plan the logistics. The event went off without a hitch (thanks to the Band's preparation) and our guests, without exception, complimented the band's performance and really enjoyed the event, leaving no space on the dance floor! Thank you John and the Special Edition Band for your professionalism, awesome talent and commitment for making our event a success!

Book them now!!

John- the lead of The Special Edition, was an absolute pleasure to work with! So attentive and personable from scheduling a meet and greet to when they preformed, I didn’t want it to stop!! Then they were hired! And let me tell you I’ve never seen so many people on a dance floor having the best time at a wedding before, book them right now! Not only we’re all of my guests dancing the whole night so were the band, they came out on the dance floor and started dancing too! Full on best entertainment and overall experience! Thank you special edition band for making our night so SPECIAL!!

The Special Edition - An AMAZING Wedding Band!!

The Special Edition Band is amazing!! They made our wedding reception truly special! It was a hit and everyone had a blast! They have excellent interactions with the crowd and they are killer musicians. They play every genre that you can think of and sound fantastic. Also, they traveled all the way to our Amarillo wedding and were really easy to work with. They also have excellent customer service and were always willing to answer a question for us or make a quick switch if we needed it. We loved them so much and cannot recommend them enough. If you're having a band at your wedding you need to hire the Special Edition. They will not disappoint.

High Energy and Great Professionalism!

The Special Edition Band was a huge hit at our reception! They kept up the energy and were all so polite and fun! John Adams was great to work with. Our wedding was greatly effected by COVID so we spent a lot of time working with him trying to sort out the specifics. He held true to everything he said they would do, even when that meant canceling a non-wedding gig to make sure they were available for our date. You and your guests will rave about them for months after the party! The horn section added SO MUCH do music so don’t miss out on booking them!

Best Wedding Band!

The Special Edition Band was everything we could have asked for and more in a band! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Our favorite part was when the band members got on the dance floor to engage with the wedding guests! Thanks for making our wedding such a fun night!

AMAZING Wedding Band!!!

The Special Edition Band was incredible! We hired them for our wedding reception and the dance floor was packed the ENTIRE TIME! I was honestly sad the wedding ended because I wanted to keep dancing!!! They were so much fun, they have a ton of songs to choose from and they are extremely professional. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding reception band :)

Absolutely incredible

Absolutely cannot recommend John Adams and the band enough. We had high expectations and they OVER-delivered. They made our wedding day perfect, and I cannot thank them enough. If anyone is looking for a fun band, that will keep the energy high, and work within the vibe you are going for, look no further: John and The Special Edition Band are awesome!

10.03.2020 Wedding

The Special Edition Band performed at our wedding on 10.03.2020, and I have never met such a fun group that are so incredibly talented.. The two women, omg They were AMAZING!!! They were always so active with the crowd, danced with us, took the time to learn songs and all. This band is hands down one of the best I have ever heard.
Also, John was so quick to reply to all emails and helped with everything he could! We made a switch to a song 2 days before, and he made it work.
I cannot wait to have another event so I can have them there! Thanks again for making our wedding night so amazing and fun :)

Great Experience!

While we were excited to have the full ten-piece Special Edition Band at our wedding, thanks to Covid-19 the whole event became a much more intimate affair. Thankfully, John was willing to work with us as provided a lovely three-piece band for our small reception, and they did an amazing job. Would recommend them to anyone!

Great Choice!

The Special Edition Band was a hit at my daughter's wedding! They can do it all - great music during the cocktail hour and dinner, then party music until the end. As a musician myself, I appreciated the professionalism of the group, and the sound was mixed perfectly for our venue. John was very easy to work with and seemed sincerely interested in making the wedding a success. I highly recommend!

A night to remember!

The Special Edition Band was truly extraordinary. A lovely string trio played before and during the ceremony. Just beautiful. And then the full band rocked the reception, and even performed emcee duties. Our guests loved the band and we did too! Highly recommend!

Love Special Edition

The Special Edition band had everyone dancing at our daughter’s wedding reception. Coming up with a playlist was super easy and the band supported a fun flash mob we planned for the start of the evening. So much talent and so much fun. You cannot go wrong with this fabulous band.

They were "The One" (Band that is)

Besides choosing to get married, this was the best decision that we made for our big day. Special Edition invited us out to see them in Grapevine, and we both knew immediately that they were "the one" (band that is). You must get everything you can out of the band (we used all 10 members) because musically, you won't get any better. They are all so talented, and together it makes for a helluva show. John and his team were very accommodating. There was nothing difficult around working through the contract. They made accommodation after accommodation, some of which were suggestions of their own (like a using the horns to follow us out on our sendoff). They learned and modified music to fit reception timelines, and did it without a bit of push back. As for their energy, it was contagious. Combine our lively wedding guest, with the engagement from the lead singers, and there was not an empty dance floor all night. Our guest were even dancing during dinner! They emceed the whole thing, and didn't miss a beat. We've witnessed horror stories of other weddings where bands forgot words, cake cuttings, or even the grooms names! They executed flawlessly, to the point that I never stopped to think of what was next. It was seamless. Finally, the genuine compliments on the good times that were had ALWAYS started with mention of the band. So much so, we've worked on coordinating our friends to see them outside of their event gigs. I can't praise the work they did enough. HIRE THEM

Beyond the best!

We literally cannot say enough good things about The Special Edition Band. We knew of the band because they played at a friend's weddings 3-4 years ago. As soon as we set a date, we reached out and were thrilled when we found out they were available. John Adams, the owner, is easily one of the most professional and kind people I have ever worked with. Every interaction leading up to the wedding was positive and every time we heard from him, it made us even more excited. The band has an amazing set list and I can't imagine asking or wanting for anything more. We cannot count the number of people who said something along the lines of "how about that band" or "where did you find that incredible band" or "wow! I have never experienced any wedding like that!"
After the wedding, we still had people texting and e-mailing us telling us how much they enjoyed dancing and what a unique and awesome dynamic the band added.
My sister and I already have talked about having a wedding anniversary celebration party for all of the siblings (there are seven us of) where we would celebrate everyone's anniversary (whether the first or the 15th!) The one thing we know is that we would want The Special Edition Band to be there. Many people say they do not remember their reception or the wedding weekend was a blur, but that was not the case for us because of vendors like John. We enjoyed every moment and would get married every weekend if we could.

Great Wedding Band!

We hired Special Edition Band for our daughter's wedding. They were fantastic and really made the dancing fun. The slower songs had the older couples dancing before dinner was done, while the party songs kept everyone on the dance floor until closing time.

Thanks for making is Special!

Super great and fabulous!

WOW!! We love The Special Edition Band! This is the 3rd time we have used them and they just keep getting better and better! John is great to work with. Answers emails quickly and professionally. Their music is great! Last weekend they played for my wedding. During cocktail hour the jazz trio was super great. During dinner the music was perfect. After dinner, everyone danced the night away. And they were beyond fabulous! The dance floor was full for every song! They were very interactive with our guests and everyone had a blast. Received so many compliments all night! I would highly recommend them over and over! Call them today for your next event!!

We had The Special Edition Band at our wedding and I can't tell you how many people have told us how much fun they had! We spent the whole night on the dance floor and everyone had the best time. I seriously can't recommend them enough! John is so great to work with and will make everything perfect for your wedding!

Wonderful from start to finish.

The Special Edition Band was fantastic and having a live band for our wedding was such an elegant touch, especially the stage presence of a 10 piece band and three members performed for our cocktail hour and we had a three piece set for our ceremony music. But aside from the obvious, which is how great they sounded and performed, I want to say just how great it was working with John. He was always accessible and answered questions my wife and I had during the planning process. We would both HIGHLY recommend this band as they are professional from start to finish

Beyond My Wildest Dreams!

When I got engaged, I made a list of "must haves" for the wedding and a band was on the top of my list. After reaching out to The Special Edition Band and going to a local bar to hear them play, we knew we HAD to have them at our wedding reception! We've been married a little over a month and we still have guests talking about the band. They made the wedding so fun! The dance floor was packed the whole night and some never left the dance floor except to refill their drinks! After the last song of the night, our guests starting chanting, "We want more!" The band delivered one more song! No one wanted the night to end! If you are looking for a wedding band in the DFW area, look no further than the Special Edition Band! They are amazing, talented, and so easy to work with! HIRE THEM NOW!!!

Special Edition is the best of the best!!

To put it simply, we cannot get over how FANTASTIC The Special Edition Band was at our wedding this past Friday. Our guests have not stopped raving about how great the music was and how much fun the band was!! John and the band did ensemble jazz music during the dinner hour, and then switched to party music afterwards. To say they sounded amazing just doesn't seem like enough! Despite very little guidance on musical selections from us, the band read the room like pros and played music that kept people on the dance floor the entire night! When I went up and spontaneously asked one of the band members if they could play a slow song, the band effortlessly glided into one and got every couple in the room out on the floor. When the song was over, they seized the opportunity presented by a crowded dance floor and broke out into the conga! SO much fun!! Around 10:30, John had my coordinator tell me to just give the signal when we were ready for the last song, with stern instruction that there was no rush... and when I did give the signal, the band glided into "Don't Stop Believing" so smoothly I was astounded. The best part though, was when the horns followed my husband and I out for our send off playing "When the Saints Go Marching In." My family is Cajun and I had always dreamed of a wedding in the French Quarter growing up... and somehow the band made it feel like I got that moment!! It was incredibly special. If you're looking for a wedding band who sounds phenomenal, responds to all communications promptly, and who is reasonably priced, look no further than Special Edition. John and his group is simply the best of the best. We would hire them a thousand times over!!

Amazing! Everyone danced all night long :)

I searched for a while before selecting a band and I picked The Special Edition Band because of their great reviews and videos but more importantly because of John. He was so friendly and understanding, I really liked him and knew he was the right fit for us. They have a great selection of music and have fun with the crowd from stage, they let my sister steal the mic too! I got compliments on the band all night and to this day- people still tell me how great they were!

Terrific Wedding Band!!

Booking a band from several States away made me a bit anxious. However, with Special Edition there was no need to worry! My interactions with John Adams, band leader, were extremely professional!! John was always prompt to reply to my emails and texts, their contract was straight forward and fair. Because they book their own gigs, I felt we received much more for our money than you normally would using a booking agent. Although I did not meet John until we arrived for the reception, I never had any doubt they would be there and ready to entertain! Unfortunately, I had a previous experience at my daughters wedding when another band failed to show up on time! Argh!!! Special Edition was incredibly entertaining and you could tell that they were professional musicians. We booked the ten piece band and LOVED the Horn section! The night flew by with the dance floor full nonstop from the first dance to the last dance. I highly recommend Special Edition!!

Great band that keeps the crowd out on the dance floor!

The Special Edition Band was professional through the entire event planning process and so easy to work with! John Adams, with the band, was always very responsive to our emails and helped us narrow down music selections.

We had a fantastic wedding reception, and the band was a big part of the night. Our guests were dancing the entire time, and we had many compliments from guests on the band and how interactive they were and their ability to get the crowd going! Thanks for a great night! I would highly recommend to others looking for live music in the DFW area.

Having the Special Edition Band at our wedding was one of the single best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. From the instant professionalism and coordination to the way they kept our dance floor rocking all night long. We both can't recommend this group highly enough. We spent many weekends trying to find the right band and the first time we got to hear the Special Edition Band play it was an easy choice. John Adams, who is part of the band and helps coordinate events, is nothing short of phenomenal and the ultimate professional. The entire group was not only musically talented with amazing instruments, singers and song selections, they were upbeat, happy and interacting with our guests on the dance floor all night. Our wedding was two weeks ago and guests are still telling us that the Special Edition Band was the best wedding band they have ever heard. Could not recommend this group highly enough!

To say this band exceeded my expectations is an understatement! Our guests cannot stop raving out The Special Edition Band! No one left the dance floor all night! They were fun, exciting, sentimental, and the life of the party! John was amazing to work with and not only provided a 10 piece band for the party, but also a duo for the church music which was outstanding and jazz trio for the cocktail hour! It was a one stop shop and one of the easiest choices I made for the big day! Thank you so much to John and The Special Edition Band for helping make our wedding one of the greatest nights ever!

This band is terrific. They not only have a fantastic repertoire and a great sound, they are attractive to the eye, and most of all, they are personable and accommodating, down to their road crew and light and sound staff. Special Edition will make your event a special memory, just as they did for my daughter's wedding recently. Over 200 guests of all ages never left the dance floor, and they are still talking about the band. You owe it to yourself to give Special Edition consideration in choosing your wedding band. You will not be disappointed.

The Special Edition Band was a GREAT band for our daughter's wedding reception! Not only was John very easy to work with in the planning stages, but the music and interaction at the event was just right. They are very accommodating to music styles, requests, and preferences, and brought a lot of fun energy to the celebration. The quality of their music is fantastic. We'd definitely hire them again if we had another daughter!

John Adams and the Special Edition Band were absolutely fantastic!! I cannot rave about them enough. Throughout the whole process, John was the epitome of professional. We used their 3-piece jazz trio for our cocktail reception, and the full 10-piece band for our main reception. They have such a huge range of genres- and were able to customize their sets based on our music preferences- for us, that was Motown, Funk, 80s, and top-40. They were so incredibly fun, I never left the dance floor the whole night! For that matter, the majority of our guests never left the dance floor either. And toward the end of the night, as everyone was getting rowdy, they left the main area of the stage and weaved through the dance floor, singing and playing their instruments up-close and personal with the guests. Everyone still raves about how fun our wedding band was, and how it was truly a non-stop party. They went above and beyond, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to blow their wedding reception out of the park with great music!

If you're looking for a great, affordable, professional, and great sounding band for your reception, look no further than John and the Special Edition Band! They were the perfect addition to our reception and made sure that the dance floor was never empty. John was also very responsive via email and made sure that we got exactly what we requested. We can't recommend them highly enough!

We booked The Special Edition for our wedding in May and could not have been happier with what they provided. They did our ceremony music, cocktail music as well as were our band during the reception. My husband and I just wanted to have an amazing party and Special Edition really helped us achieve this with up-beat fun music all night. Additionally, my father and husband played a song during the reception (husband sang and played the guitar, father played the drums) and they were incredibility accommodating for that unique performance. I also researched a variety of bands in Dallas and The Special Edition is by far the BEST deal around with all of the music the played for us.

Working with the special edition band was great! We had to change our wedding date due to an unfortunate family event and they were so understanding. They sounded great during the wedding and even let my husband and his friends get up and play a couple of songs they wrote for me. They really made the atmosphere - jazz band during cocktail hour and partying after dinner!

The Special Edition Band was incredible! Booking them was one of the best decisions of our wedding. Working with John was so easy. The process was absolutely seamless and he was very receptive to any song suggestions and styles we selected. I realized about half-way through the actual wedding that there weren't any slow songs being played--and then I realized it was because I hadn't requested any! It actually worked out incredibly well. The band even learned a semi-slow song (Baby, I'm Amazed) for our last dance and performed it flawlessly. We also used the Special Edition Band for the ceremony (string quartet) and cocktail hour (jazz trio). They were great for all three pieces, even going to extra lengths to have the main singer come early for a beautiful Ave Maria during the ceremony. So many of our friends and family commented on how fantastic the band was. We even had people comment that they'd never seen so much dancing at a wedding before (which is exactly what we were going for). The transitions between the band's sessions and breaks was also seamless--the dancing never stopped! We had no stage at our venue, so the ceremony band performed on the same level as the dancers. This was great because the horns could work their way through the dance floor, the singers could walk around and give our friends and family solos, and even the people at tables got involved when the bassist walked around and jammed with them. Every single member of the band was incredible! Overall, the night was fantastic thanks to this fantastic band. Do yourself a favor and spend the night rocking with this stellar crew!

We first saw this band at a wedding reception a few years back and my husband said " if we ever need a band this is who I want".
So when we were planning his 60th birthday party my mission was to make sure we could secure The Special Edition Band. Luckily the band was available and made his party a huge success! We continue to get comments on how great the band was.

Special Edition is "special". Next to the couple, the band is the next most important part of the reception and they rocked it! Their music is great, their stage present is as good. No one (including them) want to leave. I would definitely hire them again.

We had a wonderful experience with John and the Special Edition Band at the Dallas Country Club for my daughter's wedding! With over 300 guests in attendance, they managed to keep our event moving and the dance floor full! I can't express enough my sincere appreciation of a job more than well done by this group! I had to meet with them only one time to ensure that everything was done to our liking, they were professional, courteous, and easy to work with, exactly what one needs for a wedding day celebration! Thank you Special Edition Band! I highly recommend their services.....

We want to thank John and The Special Edition Band for the outstanding performance at Erin and Andrew’s wedding reception this summer at Arlington Hall. John was great to work with and the band set the tone and atmosphere for the celebration we were looking for. From the announcements, to the special dances, to the party dancing, the band members worked great together, energized the crowd, and added to the happiness that filled the room that day. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the band was and how much fun they added to the celebration. We could not be happier with our choice of The Special Edition Band, and highly recommend them for anyone’s wedding reception. Thank you very much for a professional and wonderful performance!

The Special Edition Band was one of the most incredible bands I've hired for any major event. The band manager John Adams was the upmost professional throughout the contract process. They were willing to play whatever we asked from a list of their songs. By the way they are one of the most versatile bands I've hired or listened to for a major event like ours. The band members demonstrated a high-level of energy throughout the night. My 110 guests could not have commented enough times how much they enjoyed The Special Edition Band. My final comment is to emphasize that this band is one of the most versatile bands you could ever hire for a wedding, reunion or a party in the DFW area. I cannot thank John and the rest of the band for putting on the most incredible show for my guests this past Saturday night. Thanks John. I can't wait to hire you for my next major event.

The Special Edition Band provided just the right music, tempo and energy for our August wedding reception. The band was willing to work with us on music selection, announcements, and setup. We heard Special Edition in a variety of venues prior to selecting them, and we felt confident they would match our setting and desired "vibe" for the evening with music, dress, and atmosphere. The rather large reception for people of all ages was fun and Special Edition offered something everyone could enjoy, especially the bride and groom!

John and the band were great. They are very professional and are able to play "on the fly" when our wedding day plans changed. The cost was comparable if not cheaper than other bands that we spoke with. They did not charge us extra even though we had booked them on a holiday. Exemplary. I would, without hesitation, book them again.

The Special Edition Band was the perfect entertainment for our wedding reception. They had fun with the guests and the guests had fun with them - we received so many compliments! They learned several special request songs, including the Beer Barrel Polka as a tribute to my husband's Czech family. John was awesome to work with. He made things easy for us and was also able to coordinate a ceremony string quartet and a cocktail hour jazz trio for us. Highly recommended.

Special Edition Band went above and beyond making our wedding one to remember. Their music attracted all audiences and their band members really interacted with our guest. Their sound, lighting and professionalism was everything we were looking for in a band for our wedding. They will play anything you request and will learn a song they are not familiar with. You can not go wrong with Special Edition Band!!! John will be in touch with you from A-Z when picking your favorite songs!!

We booked the Special Edition band for our wedding. They responded so quickly to emails and were so professional. We also asked if they would be willing to learn a song that wasn't on their list for our first dance and they did. It was wonderful! So many of our guests complimented how wonderful the band was. My husband and I are so pleased. We would definitely use them again!!

I highly recommend the Special Edition band for any wedding or event! They were absolutely amazing at my wedding this past November. As opposed to other weddings where a DJ plays uninspiring music and guests spend most of the time in their seats, Special Edition band had every wedding guest on their feet dancing! The band was able to play a wide variety of music from current pop tunes to country to oldies. My wedding would not have been complete without this band, the atmosphere they created and the music they played.

I can not say enough good things about John Adams and The Special Edition Band! Out of all of my vendors they were by far my favorite. John was more than accommodating from the very beginning. He was straightforward with the band's needs and requirements. He even arranged a trio to do my ceremony music which was also beautiful. I had so much fun with them as well as did all of my guests! We receive so many compliments on the band. They had a large selection of music and tried very hard to play the right music for the crowd throughout the night. I highly recommend them!

"Special Edition Band=FABULOUS
The SEB was great! My daughter and son-n-law used this band at their wedding in July and we were blown away as to how good they were! Everyone was dancing and having a fabulous time! John is super great to work with and is happy to play all the songs that you want for your special day! Several guests wanted to get their card and contact information so they could use them as well.
After the wedding we used the band again for a birthday party several months later. Cannot say enough great things about this band!!"

We hired The Special Edition Band for our wedding.

John Adams was a dream to work with, he was always available no matter what, via phone, text and e-mail, always prompt throughout the whole process. His patience and professionalism are astounding! Always welcomed our input and suggestions, and offered the knowledgeable advice of an obviously seasoned veteran in the industry. There is nothing they can't handle!

My husband and I had a particular song in mind for our first dance as a married couple, which was not on their song list. They ended up learning the exact version we wanted and NAILED IT! They blew us away!! The whole band rocked it out the entire night and had the most amazing energy.

They kept the dance floor full. Our guests are still complementing them and talking about how every song they played sounded like they were listening to the actual artist!

John even helped us find and book an additional band. We wanted a great Latin band to throw some latin beats in the mix. Our expectations were high and specific. He ended up finding Havana NRG as our supplemental band. They too were incredible, high energy and beyond what we ever expected!

John even played in,and coordinated, our ceremony trio, it was exactly what we envisioned. They really took it to the next level!! They went above and beyond our expectations.

We also wanted an acoustic guitarist to play as we made our exit, and our guests began to leave the reception. The guitarist was outstanding and really kept the mood going even after all was said and done.

Future brides, if you want incredible music you and your guests will enjoy and talk about for days to come, not to mention the smoothest process and value from the best and easiest people to work with in the industry, The Special Edition is your go to band.

We loved Special Edition Band! We had so many people ask for their contact information at the end of the night. They played a great mix of music and kept the crowd on the dance floor!

The Special Edition Band was everything we wanted and more. They even provided an affordable Jazz trio for cocktail hour. As a musician myself, the band was the most important part of our special day to me. There was not a note out of place. They added a dynamic that cannot be found even in the best of DJs. Support live music! Support The Special Edition Band!

We were luckily able to find Special Edition as our wedding band last minute as our original band didn't end up working out. We saw them perform at Sherlock's in Dallas and really enjoyed the dynamics and energy of the group of 9. We loved the 2 lead female singers too as they were a lot of fun and sounded great. We were really happy with them at our reception. We requested for a specific first dance and wedding party intro song and they nailed it! They even let us practice our wedding intro with the wedding party a couple times before the reception started. They also did a pretty good job with announcements of certain events to get the crowd's attention (cake cutting, speeches, bouquet toss, etc). Our guests danced the night away and a number of people even joined them on stage. Very fun, flexible and easy going band to work with!

I did an extensive search of wedding bands in the DFW area, and the Special Edition Band was by far the most helpful and professional group we worked with! They seemed to be the best higher end band for their price and worked with us to match our needs and work with our budget. There were some bands that were also great, but some were just downright rude and more focused on filling a slot than actually helping us create our perfect night. None treated us as kindly as Special Edition! I would recommend them first to anyone in search of just a great high quality FUN band that will for sure get the party started and literally keep it going all night. You can tell they really just love what they do!

If you want to have FUN at your wedding...then you need The Special Edition band. Whether it was the amazing vocals or the traveling horn section (literally, the sax, trumpet and trombone play while walking around the dance floor!) they were are great act and put together some fun sets! John was very receptive to what we wanted and made sure the songs we played were the perfect songs for our wedding.

They are up front with their expectations written in their contract and very professional. We provided them with a schedule for our reception and what we wanted them to facilitate/announce and they happily met our expectations.

Special Edition is top notch and a steal for what they deliver. You won't regret the impact a 10-piece band can have on your guests to create a fun, memory-filled evening!

50th Wedding Anniversary Party
Working with John Adams and the Special Edition Band was a pleasure from first introduction to the last song played. It's clear that they place emphasis on making sure they satisfy their customer. They met with us in person to insure they understood what kind of environment and music we wanted. We discussed their play list and they did everything possible to satisfy our special requests.

We worked with John to develop a time line for amping up the music appropriate to the segment of the party. When it came time to dance, everyone knew it and crowded the floor. Our guests ranged in age from 10 to 80, and they had something for us all.

The price to value was much better than I had expected. I would gladly use them again for any event. They were professional, courteous, energetic and, above all, they were great musicians.

The Special Edition performed for my daughter's recent wedding reception. She chose them for their vocal talent and they did not disappoint! When playing favorite songs recorded by others it is imperative that there be a broad range of vocal talent so all the songs don't end up sounding alike. Their play list is endless, communication on the front end fabulous, and they bring a lot of fun to their work. I especially liked that John Adams, guitar and 3 of the singers all mixed with the dancers on the dance floor! Great party band! They would be a 5.0 except that after stressing the need for a very specific setup space they ended up taking a bit more which cramped our style somewhat. Didn't seem to bother anyone but the bride and me however. I would definitely use them again!

Municipal Event

We were able to have the Special Edition Band provide music for a large public event that our municipality was hosting. They did a great job throughout the entire process and the event was a success in part due to their abilities. Great band, great experience.
