    Velvet City Sound is the PERFECT wedding band!! They kept our guests entertained all evening. So many compliments from our guests about the variety of music they were able to play!! **plus, they are amazing to work with!!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thank you Langley! We had such a great time playing for you and Chandlor! Your friends and family were fun to interact with (and we have video to prove it)! We'll definitely post some of the clips we captured from stage :)

    Incredible band for an incredible night

    Velvet City Sound, I just have to say thank YOU and the entire crew for making our wedding truly unforgettable! Michelle and I couldn’t have imagined the night being as special without your talent and the energy the whole band brought to our reception! The fact that you felt like part of the family really means the world to us, and it showed in every song and every moment on the dance floor. We received comments the whole night from family and friends about how much they enjoyed the band. You got everyone dancing and kept them dancing!

    For those reading this review, we put it in a special request, and Velvet City Sound delivered: the Hora Loca was an absolute blast – everyone is still talking about it!

    You brought so much joy, and we were so lucky to have you as a part of our day. It’s amazing to think we’ve not only found the perfect band for our wedding, but made a couple of new friends along the way.

    I play electric violin, and when I contacted Velvet City Sound about potentially playing a surprise song with them to surprise my wife, they encouraged me to play! I had such a great time playing with you guys, and I'd love to keep in touch and maybe make some more music together in the future.

    Thank you again for everything – everything you did made the night one we and our guests will never forget.

    Highly recommend VCS!!

    We had a great time working with Velvet City Sound for our wedding. They have an INCREDIBLE list of songs/artists to choose from, and let you be as hands on or hands off as you'd like leading up to the event. They really know how to get/keep people dancing and having fun. They are open to learning new songs, which we asked them to do for our first dance song. I would highly recommend VCS for weddings and other events.

    Better than I could have imagined!

    Nick absolutely killed it and really blew us away. We got so many compliments from our guests and the venue staff about how amazing they sounded. Would recommend Velvet City Sound to anyone who's looking to breath life into their events. Absolutely amazing to have them perform at our wedding.

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thank you so much Max and Winnie for having us be your band (and for the awesome review)! We're glad to hear everyone enjoyed the music as it is a pat on the back reminding us why we do what we do. We loved the music requests and learning new "Off list" songs as well! Amazing weather, amazing staff/venue/FOOD/and couple, couldn't ask for more. Thank you both again!

    Wishing you both the best, mazel tov!

    Amazing!!!

    Nick and Velvet City Sound were everything we wanted and more for our wedding band! They were so so easy to work with and wanted to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted. They incorporated songs we wanted and also kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. It was such a great night thanks to them and wish I go hear it all over again!!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thanks so much for the review Abby! It was a pleasure working with you and Nick and playing your wedding! We were able to grab some video from your videographer from the dance party, which we plan on turning into a short sizzle reel of the night! We're very grateful to have been your band and a part of YOUR big day! Please stay in touch

    A must book

    VCS is an absolute MUST BOOK. We had them come up to Knoxville for our wedding and the entire process was seamless. Nick was extremely personable and catered to all of our needs. Their process is so thorough and they will make sure they are playing what you are looking for. I searched high and low for a wedding band that could play the music we were looking for. VCS' range is WILD. They can play anything from Grateful Dead to Shania Twain. We are so appreciative of Nick and VCS, our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing without them.

    THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thank you for the glowing review Sam! You and Mikey were so fun and easy to work with. We had an incredible time with you, your family and friends. So many memories... from the beautiful mountain views, you and Mikey's entertaining MCing, guest performances, a fun concert-like dance party, we're grateful to have been a part of it all! Thank you and Mikey and please do stay in touch :)

    The vcs band is amazing!

    We cannot recommend Velvet City Sound highly enough! Nick and the VCS band were absolutely amazing to work with, and they made the experience easy and fun. They are incredibly talented, and were able to play songs across a wide range to match the vibe of our wedding and keep the energy up throughout the night. All of our guests continuously complemented how great the VCS band was, and what a great show/evening they hosted.

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    "Working" with you and Albert was a breeze! I'm glad we were able to make it easy and fun, how it should be! We'll forever have only the best of memories of that night: Amazing venue, food, and most importantly, everyone was ready for a good time/ready to party!! We're so appreciative of the opportunity and wish you and Albert nothing but the best :) -Nick & VCS

    Vcs highly reccommend

    VCS MADE OUR NIGHT SO FUN!! From the initial contact with Nick, VCS was always easy to get in touch with, great communication, and a wonderful performance on our wedding day. They listened to all of the details that we wanted to bring to life through the planning process. We could not be more grateful. What makes them the best, is not only their communication and all in all greatness, but their SOUND is 10/10. We could not have asked for any better. THANK YOU!!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Sharley - Thank you for the glowing review! Thank you for not only having us on your big day, but also for being so kind and including us in it all, making us feel part of the family. We wish you, Thomas, and your family nothing but the best!
    -Your VCS Fam!

    Energetic!

    Nick was so easy to work with before hand and throughout the evening. The band never stopped playing! They covered all genres and kept everyone on the dance floor. Could not have been happier with our choice! Highly recommend. They truly are undiscovered gems!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Sharley - Thank you for such a kind review. You all were beyond hospitable and made us feel included, part of the family even! You and Thomas were a joy to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better evening! Please tag us in any photos / videos on Instagram @velvetcitysound Please stay in touch!!!

    Best Decision Ever

    Velvet City Sound was one of the best wedding decisions we made! It was important to both of us to have a band at our wedding and VCS absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. They were so much fun and kept the party going the entire night. From the moment we booked with them the communication was easy and thorough. We were able to be as hands on or off with the set list as we wanted and they encouraged all our ideas from the start. So many of our guests have reached out to say how great VCS was and how they truly made the night. We cannot recommend VCS enough! They even let us sing Mr Brightside with them which was the icing on the cake!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Catie - It was truly a pleasure working with you and Kyle! We are so appreciative of ya'll for having us (and at such a cool venue)! It's not everyday we get to play in Hilton Head and on top of that, your friends and family were super fun and receptive! We'll always have fond memories of that evening. If you post any pictures or videos on social media feel free to tag us on Instagram @velvetcitysound or Facebook. Anyway, thank you both again for reminding us why we do what we do

    Wedding Review

    Velvet City Sound was awesome and had everyone on the dance floor all night! We have had so many people brag about how great the music was all day!! VCS provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! They read the crowd so well! We could not have asked for a better band!!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thank you Anna! You and Jeff were a breeze to work with from beginning to end. We truly appreciate you trusting us to be a part of you and Jeff's big day! The crew had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed entertaining and interacting with everyone! Please stay in touch and tag us in any photos and videos on social media so we can share them. Thank you for reminding us why we do what we do :)

    Wedding planner approved band!!

    As a wedding planner, we have extremely high expectations, and Velvet City Sound far exceeded them! We worked our first wedding with them yesterday and couldn't wait to add them to our list of recommended vendors! They are communicative, flexible, team players, professional and extremely talented! Special shoutout to one of the lead vocalists, Sarah, who had the most amazing voice! All of the vendors and guests were raving about them the entire evening! We highly recommend them for your wedding or event and cannot wait to work with with them again soon!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thank you so much Jenny! We can't wait to work with you and your team again, hopefully sooner than later!

    The best!

    They played at our NYE wedding on 12/31/23 and just absolutely made the night! We had multiple people texting us the next day asking what their name was again because they loved them so much. If you are looking to get your crowd on the dance floor, Velvet City Sound is your band! They play everything from Yellowcard to Taylor Swift to Lynard Skynard - and everything in between! They are the BEST! Thank you for making our wedding SO MUCH FUN!!!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Hi Angela! We thoroughly enjoyed playing your wedding, good vibes ALL NIGHT LONG!!! The songs you and Will picked were great too. It was an amazing NYE wedding, one for the books! Thank you very much for having us. Please stay in touch! All the best,

    Nick & VCS

    VCS is an AWESOME event band!

    Nick Bryant was so great to work with. Work is the wrong word as he made this so easy for us. Our event was a wedding reception for our daughter. She's our only child so we've never planned an event like this before. I researched several bands and found VCS. Our event was on New Years Eve in Mobile, AL. VCS traveled to Mobile and had everything ready to go when we arrived at The Bragg-Mitchell Mansion for the reception. One of the classiest moments was walking in the cocktail hour and hearing the piano and saxophone playing for our guest as they entered the reception, ate and had a few warmup drinks. The reception then moved outside to where we had a tent and the full band playing. We went with the six-piece band. Saxophone and female vocal are definitely recommended for an add on. VCS kept the dance floor full the entire night. Many guests asked us who this band was and how we found them. VCS far exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend them for any event where you may need a band. Oh, and the night ended with a fantastic playing of Sweet Home Alabama. Thank you, Nick and VCS!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Steve - It was a pleasure to "Work" with you and your amazing family! I can't express our gratitude enough for the hospitality (including the cooler of drinks and basket of snacks next to the stage upon our arrival)! The venue was amazing as were the planners and staff involved. Your friends and family were receptive, upbeat, and fun, which made our "Job" easier. We'll forever have happy memories of that evening! We wish Angela and Will (and both sides of the family) nothing but the best. We will stay in touch! - Your VCS Fam

    Velvet City was amazing!!

    We were blown away with Velvet City at our daughter’s wedding. They were very accommodating during this joyous / stressful occasion and the music was amazing. We shared the song list with the types of music we would like to hear and they nailed it and were able to accommodate the different requests during the set. One of the guest said that they loved the music and kept waiting on a song that they could not play and it never came. Everyone commented on how great the band was and they really made the evening. I can’t say enough good things about Velvet City and how pleased we were with their performance. These guys did an amazing job and were extremely professional. Would not hesitate to use them again.

    Absolutely perfect in all ways

    Nick and the crew are amazing!! If you are in GA and trying to decide between bands, let me make it easier for you. These guys take care of EVERYTHING. You need something audio/visual related , they will figure it out without overcomplicating the pricing. Nick is the easiest person on this earth to work with, and he made us feel so comfortable and included in the entire planning process leading up to our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better band/people/crew. They were extremely professional, and trust me, they can bring the energy. The singers have fantastic voices and dance moves, and the band itself is phenomenal!! Don’t look any further, just hire these guys, they will NOT disappoint!! Huge thanks to VCS and to Nick for being all around amazing.

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Thank you Kevin and Sneha for such a thorough review and for trusting us as your band! We enjoyed working with ya'll (more fun than work really). The wedding was super fun all-around, your friends and family were a blast! The food, the dancing, AJ coming up and leading the band on a Foo Fighters tune, nothing but good memories on our end!

    Excellent musicians

    Nick's communication and contract were excellent, and I was impressed with Velvet City Sound's extensive set list. Our family includes musicians, both amateur and professional, so we had especially high standards. Velvet City Sound's eight-piece band was musically solid and entertaining, and they played at just the right volume. The entire band was respectful and hard-working and could not have been a better fit for our outdoor Southern wedding reception.

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    It's not every day or weekend we get to perform as an 8-piece band, so needless to say, we had a blast doing so! The song choices were great and overall we had a blast with your friends and family! We're so grateful for ya'll having us and for the kind words :)
    Please stay in touch!

    Incredible, excellent

    Couldn't be happier with VCS and couldn't recommend them enough! Nick was able to learn our first dance song and executed flawlessly. They listened to our notes and created the most perfect playlist for our guests. There wasn't a minute where majority of the guests weren't on the dance floor- no bad songs!! I'll be sure to book them next time I need a band :)

    The BEST wedding band ever!

    Velvet City Sound was the perfect choice for our wedding at West Milford Farm! We stalked their instragram and Facebook to get a good sense of their style— and when we heard the variety of songs they played (and played well), we were sold! I think it was Mr. Brightside and Fall Out Boy that really did it for me, which they ended our night with! Nick, the manager is so easy to work with throughout, and Mike, the lead singer was so easy going with us brides, but brought the energy the whole time! We had so many guests come up to us and say how awesome the band was, that it was the best band they’ve heard at a wedding, etc! They communicate well, will let you customize and learn songs for you, show up early to set up, work hard to make sure nothing goes wrong, and sound awesome!! Everything you want in a wedding band!!! And if you’re Jewish, they play a great long Hora!

    Velvet City Sound's reply:

    Alex & Sara - It's reviews like this and couples like you that remind us why we do what we do! We're so glad we got the opportunity to work together, during the planning and day-of, so awesome!! We wish you nothing but the best, please stay in touch! *Also, we're still doing our best to somehow get a show booked in some capacity at WMF!

    Fantastic voices, easy to work with, highly recommend

    I have always been impressed by the band's attentiveness to any questions I have had as a wedding planner. Not only are they kind and easy to work with, but they have great response times and will make you feel comfortable about having a band. They sound amazing and I truly enjoy listening to them play. Also, can we just say that they sound so much like the artists that they perform. Impressive energy!
