    Wicked Good!

    We are SO glad we followed up on a recommendation to hire Toby and The Jameson Four for our wedding on MDI! Our family and friends are still talking about the awesome live music that got everyone on the dance floor! Toby is a down-to-earth professional who absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for. Besides the awesome music, we knew we could totally trust Toby to take care of emcee duties, the sound system during the ceremony, collaborate with the other vendors, etc., etc. If you’re thinking about having live music and hiring Toby, go for it, you won’t regret it. There’s nothing like wicked good live music! 200% recommend and would hire again!

    So fun! Fantastic to work with and HUGE hit with everyone

    Toby and his bandmates did an incredible job with our wedding! Toby was really easy to work with, very responsive, and took time to answer my many questions and help with planning! On the day of the wedding, they were super flexible and chill (Hurricane Lee hit that day) - played music for our ceremony and then absolutely killed it at the reception. The band was SO FUN, sounded amazing, took requests, played for so long, and definitely hit all of our favorites. Everyone loved them; the next morning, every single person we talked to commented on how awesome they were. Absolutely a great deal for the cost. We couldn't have been happier, and 1000% recommend Toby for whatever music you need!

    the HIGHLIGHT of our wedding!

    Toby and his band played at our wedding up in Baxter State Park - not an easy place to get to, and their performance absolutely made the trip worth it for everyone - Guests were talking about the band for weeks!! We can't say enough about how great they sounded, how friendly, helpful and responsive Toby was in planning, and how insanely fun the band made the reception. Highly highly recommended, I might crash your wedding to hear them play again if you book them.

    Fully & Totally, Good Great!

    Toby is a genuine and EXCELLENT human and that was evident on our first phone conversation. He is a consummate professional and highly responsive. He preformed with The Jameson Four at our wedding and it was an absolute dream! The owner of our wedding venue came in to say hello during the reception...Upon hearing the band she said they are going on her preferred vendor list! All of our guests were blown away - you need to hire them to play at your wedding!

    Couldn’t have been better

    Had Toby as a solo act for my wedding in June. He responded to everything and answered every question my wife and I had. We met him to discuss plans over a drink a few weeks prior and when the day came all the details we laid out were taken care of flawlessly.

    My wife and I gave toby a small playlist of things we wanted and he took the ball and ran with it creating a better experience than we hoped for. Truly an amazing artist and I can’t recommend enough.

    The perfect ceremony music

    Toby played guitar for our ceremony in August and it was perfect! Hearing him play as I was walking down the aisle gave me chills. It was the perfect sound abs tune and added so much meaning to the day. Toby is incredible to work with and very talented. Highly highly recommend him for your ceremony and or reception, you won’t regret it!

    Awesome addition to our wedding!

    Toby played live music for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance, and then was our DJ for the remainder of the reception. He learned songs for us and performed them beautifully. He was easy going, flexible, and made everything come together perfectly the day of the wedding. We are so glad he was part of our day!

    THE BEST! The band 100% made our wedding!

    We first heard Toby playing songs out at a bar - the crowed was loving it, and we knew this was the exact vibe we wanted for our wedding. Toby was so responsive and great to work with. He thought of everything, even all the questions that we didn’t know we should be thinking about yet. We totally trusted him to do his thing and knew he’d be great, but it was even better than expected. The band made our wedding so fun and memorable. Literally couldn’t recommend Toby more— SO worth it. Thanks for everything Toby!!

    Toby made our wedding music dreams come true!

    We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Toby and his band mate. We chose to go with an acoustic duo to entertain our small wedding and it was more than we could ever dream of. From our first communication, to our wedding day, Toby exceeded our expectations. We were vague with our music requests but we 100% trusted him to deliver. He rocked it! We had a blast celebrating with you Toby! Thanks so much for everything. - The Gables

    Best Cocktail Hour EVER

    Toby is AMAZING!! We hired him to do our cocktail hour as we wanted some laid back but fun acoustic vibes and he delivered!! He is extremely professional, responsive, affordable, and so nice - he was awesome to work with!! SO many people came up to us saying how great he was and wanted to know where else he plays so they can listen to him in the area, and we’re excited to do the same! We didn’t even really give him any “must play” songs, we just let him have creative control since he does this type of thing all the time and he killed it!! Highly recommend :)

    Best wedding band ever

    Toby and his band were fantastic! They totally made our wedding night so incredibly special. Even our guests that weren’t dancers thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. Toby was so easy to work with and he was fantastic on adapting on the fly on the day! We had almost a near crisis with no music to walk down the isle to and he saved the day! We truly can’t say how much we appreciated everything he did for us and just made it easy! Would recommend them 1,000,000 times over!

    Dancing & grooving all night long!!!

    Toby and the rest of the Jameson Four were incredible!!! The only guidance we gave them was that we wanted people to dance and have a good time. Not only did they deliver, but they did it with such talent and sounded amazing all night long! Our guests still (4 months later) mention how awesome they were - best wedding band ever!

    ***go book toby and the jameson four! ***

    Before I start writing this review if you want your wedding to be the party of the century and talked about for years to come,
    ***GO BOOK TOBY AND THE JAMESON FOUR!***

    This is a group of musicians who made our wedding the best day ever. Toby played acoustic for the ceremony and made our dreams come true by learning Muse by The Wood Brothers. Toby then switched gears with ease and DJed our big entrance and cocktail hour/dinner. He let us make a playlist of our favorite songs too!!

    After dinner, we had an amazing first dance that again Toby learned a special, meaningful song for Dan and I. It was just amazing. Then they f*%!ing started the PARTY! Nobody stopped dancing the rest of the night. The variety of songs they play is something so special with this wedding band. Dan wanted classic rock & 90s and I wanted top pop & 2000s, they killed it with our set list and play from all these genres! Jameson Four is so much fun!!! I really can’t put into words how much fun we had. We probably had 30 people (and I’m not exaggerating) personally text me and Dan about how great the band was at our wedding.
    Toby is easy to talk to and has a fast response time. As stressful as wedding planning can be, having quick response is so important. Toby talked on the phone with us for over 20 minutes two times before our wedding and that’s not including all the texting/emails we did too. He really wants your day to be the best and most fun.

    Th Best Band to have at your wedding!

    Let me begin by saying The Jameson Four was an absolute blast to have at our wedding, all the members are incredibly friendly and they did an amazing performance. With a night of family and friends dancing it’s hard to not appreciate all they did. Toby was awesome as keeping in contact with us in the time leading up to the day of, he assist in several types of music throughout and really walked us through everything. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and I would definitely recommend them.

    A wonderful addition to our day!

    We had Toby come play at our wedding while everyone got seated before the ceremony & cocktail hour! We had SO MANY guests compliment the music and how perfect it was! It totally made our cocktail hour. It was the perfect entertainment. Toby was super professional and took care of everything. I just told him to play whatever he thought & he totally nailed it! Highly recommend for weddings- you can tell Toby actually cares about the couple and making their day special! If you want your guests to have a guaranteed good time this is who you want to hire.

    Toby & the Jameson Four made our Wedding one for the record books!

    If I could give these guys 10 stars, I would! Toby and the Jameson Four guys were just INCREDIBLE. We had multiple calls with Toby leading up to the wedding which helped us get all of the details straightened out and then on the day of, they were just amazing. We hadn't heard them play live before hiring them and we were just blown away when it came to the big show. They were SO MUCH FUN and us and our guests had the best dance party EVER. We danced ALL NIGHT and Toby DJed in between the band sets so the party did.not.stop. It was so awesome. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding one for the record books!

    Awesome band!

    Finding The Jameson Four last minute for our late wedding reception was a miracle! Toby was so responsive, accommodating, and overall just the easiest guy to talk to! We had our original band cancel on us and gave up hope. Having them play for us was better than any expectations we ever had! I would use them 10 times over and cant wait to see them/him play elsewhere! Thank you guys for making our night so epic. I don't think we left the dance floor for hours!

    Best wedding ever!

    The Jameson Four was the perfect choice for our wedding. Toby was amazing with communication from the get-go and we had multiple zoom meetings (thanks covid!) ahead of our date. All our guests raved about them and kept saying how much fun they were having. Cannot recommend them enough, and absolutely would not change a thing. Best. Day. Ever.

    Acadia Wedding October 2020

    Toby and The Jameson Four played at our wedding and everyone had a blast. From the start, working with them was super easy: responsive, professional, and really friendly. It was a breeze to set up times to chat or FaceTime. They were able to take care of all of requests and details. On the big day, they delivered. They were on time, set up and totally killed it. We obviously enjoyed them and many of our guests asked how we found such a great band. If we could, we would have them play every party.
