    Absolutely incredible wedding band - simply THE best!

    Wow! Where do we even begin? The untouchables understood the assignment and absolutely CRUSHED it! They MADE our wedding. Wayne was simply the best to work with. He answered every single email immediately. He was genuine, kind, compassionate, and easy going. We had multiple guests come up to us throughout the night telling us they were the best wedding band! The horns were on the dance floor interacting with the crowd. They called us on stage! The vocalists are incredible! Hire the Untouchables. You will not regret it!

    Wayne, thanks to YOU and the rest of the Untouchables for the best night of our lives!

    The Untouchables Band's reply:

    Wow! Where do I even begin? :) You and Kyle and your guests were simply amazing to play for. In our preparation for the party I told you that for me, the most important part of the night was immediately after the first dance. That is when we can set the tone for the night. Well, in your case, that was an understatement. The room exploded. I already have a video on my site from it. I hope you enjoy it. More to come.
    Best to you and Kyle, and thank you for having us be a part of such a special night.

    You won't stop dancing!

    Wayne and Team are BEYOND amazing. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and our guests cannot not stop raving about them! They were so much fun that we wish we could do it again!

    The Untouchables Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Amanda. It was a blast. Your guests were so much fun, and working with Ott and Finley Catering made the party flow perfectly.

    The BEST memories

    It has been several months since our wedding and The Untouchables are brought up at almost every hangout. This band learned several songs for us and absolutely killed each one. The dance floor was packed all night.
    Every wedding we've been to since someone mentions to us, "Man that band at your wedding was really amazing. I've never had that much fun at a wedding before." And we couldn't agree more. If you want your friends to have the most fun they've ever had, hire these guys. Can't sing their praises enough.

    Our guests were dancing ALL NIGHT and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the band was

    The Untouchables MADE our wedding day that much more unforgettable. Wayne was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding - he was responsive and helpful, and made sure to accommodate any of our song recommendations/time-line needs. The band itself, WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN. All of my our guests were dancing from the moment they started playing - I have never seen so many people on the dance floor. Their voices, musical skills, and set list were amazing, and had people of all ages enthralled with their performance. It truly felt like a mini concert, just for us. You cannot go wrong booking these guys - my engaged friends are already trying to book them after hearing them at our wedding.

    The Untouchables Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Anne. You and all your guests made it so easy and fun. It was our pleasure to be a part of such a beautiful affair. Thank you.

    Wow. Just wow. Incredible band!

    Booked them before ever listening on a family friend’s recommendation and they blew us away. Great music, great energy, and several thousand cheaper than most wedding bands in this area. My husband's family is very into live music and they raved about the band too.

    Blown away

    We (and our guests) were absolutely blown away by Wayne & The Untouchables band. From the moment I booked over a year out from our wedding, Wayne was extremely pleasant to work with, always so accommodating in answering all of my questions and responding to my many emails. He even worked with us to have my sister sing vocals on our first dance song. I truly didn't think it could get any better until I actually heard them play on our wedding night. We were speechless. We opted for the full band with horns section and they blew it out of the park. They came out and interacted with the crowd and everyone was going wild, it was like we were in New Orleans or something. I get chills just thinking about it. Already looking for an excuse to plan another event so I can hire them again. Thank you so much Wayne & band for an absolutely unforgettable night!

    The Untouchables Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Kelly. We had a blast. The guests were so much fun to play for. And your sister nailed it! What a pro. Thanks again.

    This band absolutely blew everyone minds!!!! Way too much fun, insanely talented

    Hands down the most talented group of people. We have had so many guests tell us they were the best wedding band they've ever heard. Not only is each band member insanely talented, but they bring such a wonderful, interactive energy to the party. If you want awesome music and an unforgettable dance party, you have to go with The Untouchables. They played for us outside during a massive heat wave in Philly and were totally professional and cool about it. They also have a massive song list (way more than the other bands we looked at) and were just such a breath of fresh air. Seriously, everyone, including US, are just raving and in awe of how insanely fun this band is. Many people told us our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to -- and such a huge part of that is because of this band. Wayne was a delight to work with from start to finish -- really just a sweet, smart person who was made everything a breeze. HIRE THEM!!!

    The Untouchables Band's reply:

    Thanks you so much Julia, the pleasure was ours. You and Blake are an amazing couple, and your guests were so much fun to play for. A great night.

    The Highlight of Our Wedding

    We booked The Untouchables Band for our wedding off of a recommendation by a friend- when I talked to Wayne and saw the videos on the band's website, I knew it would be a great decision. A great decision is the understatement of the century! The whole wedding, everyone was asking us where we found this amazing band. Everyone was absolutely amazing. The band members playing the horns were dancing around with our guests! The vocalists were incredible! It was so fun. They also were able to play the most amazing hora medley for our Jewish wedding - the best one I've ever heard. My father had such an amazing time, he was singing along with them to "Call Me Al" into a microphone! Wayne also worked with us for our first dance to get us a sample of how they were going to cut "Wonderful Tonight" for our dance lessons, which was very helpful. He worked our favorite songs into the night and made everything special. All of our guests were on the dance floor. Everything was amazing and I'm still getting text messages days later raving about this band. My friend was talking about doing a five year vow renewal just so she can have a reason to book them. I highly recommend making The Untouchables Band a part of your special day. Trust me, you won't be sorry!

    The Untouchables Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Marissa. What a fun night. What struck me the most though is how engaged you were with your guests. A smile never left your face the entire night, and that set the tone for everyone. You and Alex are such a great couple, and your family is amazing. It was truly our pleasure to be a part.
    Also, your dad did a great job singing, but tell him that unfortunately The Untouchables Band does not have an opening at this time, so he will need to keep his day job a little longer. :)

    Booking The Untouchables will be the best choice of your wedding!

    The Untouchables are AMAZING! We'd seen them play at 2 weddings before ours-- and they are so great we planned our wedding day around when they were available.
    Not only are they incredibly talented, Wayne (the band leader) takes great pride in getting the party started and keeping it going all night long.
    We are so happy that they were a part of our celebration-- all our guests couldn't stop raving about how great they are and we couldn't agree more!

    Wayne and his band were unbelievable. Attendees at our wedding have reached out to try to book the Untouchables for their own wedding days! Cannot recommend enough- seriously, book this band!

    Most amazing band ever

    This is the greatest band ever! They are an absolute crowd please and the interaction with the crowd is just the cherry on top! My guests can’t stop talking about them! They are AMAZING and I would recommend them to everyone I know!

    Thank you so much Mindi. It was so much fun to be a part of such a great party. I will be adding some video from the party on my site soon.

    Amazing band!!!

    10/10 stars!!!! OUR GUESTS ARE STILL ASKING WHERE WE FOUND ARE BAND AND RAVING ABOUT HOW AMAZING THE MUSIC WAS! THEY WILL PUT ON AN UNBELIEVABLE PARTY! The Untouchables, led by the ever-talented Wayne Gustafson, did a fantastic job on the day of our wedding. Before the big day, Wayne was wonderful in coordinating all of the fine details. He was extremely responsive via phone call and email and answered all of our questions regarding our vision, the song list, the contract, schedule, setting up the sound systems, and last-minute changes on the day-of. He was easy to work with and very accommodating. On the actual day of our wedding, The Untouchables were timely and professional. They customized every song and minute of the reception based on OUR wants and needs. Needless to say, the music played by the eight-person band was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. Before the entrees were served, we had 95% of our guests JAMMING on the dance floor. EVERYONE DID NOT WANT DINNER TO START—THEY JUST WANTED TO KEEP DANCING TO THE UNTOUCHABLES! The energy of every bandmember was amazing, they did not take breaks so we had continuous music (even with a baller pregnant drummer who absolutely KILLED IT), they were interactive with the guests, and they were funny and not cheesy when it came to the announcements and entrances. Wayne even learned how to play the song for our first dance! Trust me when I say that we are MUSIC AFICIONADOS, so we have very high standards and were so impressed--we could not have been more pleased with the outcome and the music on our perfect day! I would enthusiastically recommend The Untouchables and Wayne Gustafson for your wedding. He is multidisciplinary to play amazing music for both your ceremony and reception without breaking the bank. Book them now!

    Fun, Collaborative, and Talented!

    This band simply made the whole night! So many guests commented on how wonderful they were and how much fun they had dancing. They interacted with the audience and did not stop the whole night! They were even accommodating to some of our song choices and learned them for our event. Would highly recommend if you're looking for good fun, energy, and a real party!

    Guests are Still Raving about the Untouchables!

    We had a star cast of vendors, but Wayne and the Untouchables still managed to stand out. They learned a new song for my processional entrance, and made sure to incorporate our requests (ranging from classic rock to Grateful Dead with some Lizzo). The dance floor was packed all evening!

    I'm a fan of almost any live music at weddings. But the Untouchables aren't just any great band - they help create an unforgettable evening and ensure that your wedding has the best dance party your guests have ever experienced at a wedding.

    I had been fortunate enough to attend a wedding where the Untouchables performed, and my whole family and I were in agreement - the band at this wedding was incredible. So when I got engaged a couple years later, one of the first things I did was reach out to this family friend to get Wayne's details. We basically ended up picking our wedding date because the Untouchables still had availability. ZERO regrets. Not only was Wayne incredibly responsive throughout the process, but he lends an experienced POV in thinking through timelines. He is just as invested as you are in getting the party started (for all ages), and he managed the flow and timing of our reception flawlessly.

    Thank you to Wayne and the Untouchables! You were so key in making our wedding day fun and memorable for us and our guests. People are still talking about it - "your band was AMAZING."

    If you want a proper dance party!

    We spent quite some time looking at different bands for our wedding because one of our main goals was to have a dance party. Many bands that had good reviews also charged an arm and a leg, but when we saw that The Untouchables had stellar reviews and were more affordable, we felt we hit the jackpot. Wayne was always easy to get ahold of and really made our lives easier during this process. He spontaneously provided amplification for our ceremony and even learned a couple new songs for our big day. I wanted to do a country line dance with my counsins and they learned a new song (very well might I add) within a week. During the reception, the band had everyone up on their feet throughout the night. We loved when the musicians would come down on the dancefloor and join the guests. At one point, I thought they were taking a break because there was a slower song and the voice was so beautiful, but when I turned towards the stage, I was shocked to see that it was actually them playing still. If you want a great time with great music, you should definitely choose The Untouchables. I could not recommend them more!

    Incredible

    My husband and I made the decision to hire the Untouchables band, and cannot recommend them highly enough. Wayne was a delight to work with from start to finish, and really made working with them incredibly easy. Throughout our cocktail hour, the saxophone player created a really cool atmosphere, and once our reception started, the band brought such incredible energy that the dance floor remained packed all night long. Our guests keep raving about how incredible the band was. I cannot think of a band that I enjoyed more than them. The saxophone and trombone players and guitarist coming out in the crowd was so fun, and the singers were excellent. If they are available for your wedding, I highly suggest hiring them. You cannot possibly be disappointed by them.

    Best band ever!

    Where do I begin! My best friend used The Untouchables at her wedding and I recommended them for my twin's wedding. My younger sister had them at her wedding and a cousin also did! My mother has used them for several golf events and then it was finally my turn! I loved having Wayne and the rest at my wedding. They get the best dance parties starting and move around the dance floors! They are so entertaining and no when the energy needs to be pumped up! They play the best songs and have a HUGE list to choose from but also are willing to learn more. They are very professional and host an amazing party! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Wayne and the Untouchables band absolutely was the highlight of our reception!! So many of our guests told us how much they loved the band. They had the dance floor filled all night! We could not have asked for a better way to kick off married life than by rocking out with them!!! Recommend 100000%%%!

    An Incredible Night, Amplified!

    We just wanted to express how taken back we were by the bands performance & professionalism. I asked Wayne thousands of questions over the course of 5 months and he promptly answered them all. There’s a lot of bands out there that are really, really good, and there’s also a lot of bands out there that have a lot of character. Very few have both qualities and The Untouchables are one of them. Every single band member is not only talented, but they all bring a unique, glowing presence to the party & performance that is undeniable. All of our friends can’t stop talking about how amazing and energetic the band was.

    When we had asked Wayne if they'd cover a few songs not on their song-list, Wayne had excitedly responded yes. Chrissie sang a special arrangement of "Everlong" and knocked it out of the park for our first dance, "Wild Horses" was amazing, as well as their unique spin on “Ha Ha Ha Ha” by White Denim at the end of the night.

    One of coolest things that this band does is spread out into the crowd at various points. The brass & horn section will often break off and cover the dance floor, giving the room a fuller sound and often attracting everyone back to the dance floor; the singers and guitarist will also hop into the crowd if the energy's right. Most importantly: they read the crowd and respond accordingly.

    Thank you for going above and beyond our expectations. We wish you guys all the success in the world, you deserve it!

    10/10 recommend the untouchables band!

    Wayne and The Untouchables Band were hands down one of the main highlights of our wedding day! I have never seen such an alive, exciting energy until we saw them perform in front of me, my husband and our wedding guests. We were absolutely blown away from start to finish!! People from our families that would never be caught on the dance floor dancing, actually danced their faces off... all night! It was amazing to see this. Wayne and The Untouchables also made it a point to engage the crowd in their performances by including our guests and it was absolutely incredible to see everyone having such a fantastic time at our reception. Wayne was extremely pleasant, responsive, professional and highly attentive to our needs and we really loved that. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend Wayne and The Untouchables Band for your wedding or event!

    Fantastic Wedding Band

    The Untouchables were phenomenal. We loved every minute of our wedding, and the band played a huge part in that. From their perfect set list, to the horns marching through the audience and guitar solos on the dance floor, and everyone’s happy and fun demeanor.... we just couldn’t have asked for a better band at our wedding. Mixing in some Grateful Dead for me, and some oldies for my wife's family was a great touch and didn’t go unnoticed. First dances were perfect. And thanks for having me kick off Shout, that was so cool for me! The best wedding dance song ever.

    We had many, many.... many compliments on the band from our guests and families as well. I’ve never seen a dance floor so packed, all night, as I did at our own wedding.

    If I could rate Wayne and the Untouchables 100 stars... I would! They were professional, talented, interactive, fun and just downright INCREDIBLE. Every. Single. Guest. cannot stop complimenting on our great they were and how much fun they have. My husband aunt is now going to use them for her daughter’s wedding! Thank you to Wayne and the Untouchables again for the unforgettable evening!

    We were blown away! We could not have asked for a better band, since we only booked them based off other reviews and youtube videos we were so pleasantly surprised at how amazing they are! Even some of the older family members at my wedding made comments about how amazing it was having such good music to listen to, even though they weren't up there dancing. They play everything too, we had guests as young as 21 to 87 and they played a little bit of everything from every era. They even got down on the dance floor with some of the wind instruments and were mixing it up with the dance floor. It was fantastic, I was a mess and sweaty by the end of the night because no one would stop dancing!!
