Reviews of The Sidewalk Crusaders

Great energy!!

We are so happy we booked The Sidewalk Cruisaders for our wedding. They brought so much energy and fun to our cocktail hour. My guests raved about them. Very easy to work with and willing to tailor the song list to our likes and interests.

FUN FUN FUN

We hired this band for my daughters 1st birthday they were a hit with all ages and kept the energy exciting!! Everyone loved them!!!

Incredible! Outdoor Event Activations !

We worked with Sidewalk Crusaders to help us launch an incredible and dynamic community activation on Bloor St in Toronto and was amazing to draw the crowds at TEDxToronto activation and get them involved.

It was wonderful to work with the crew and team.

We also commissioned the band to activate our Laneway Launch party. It was such an incredible experience and the band was able to really engage the audience from their style of music - very engaging and ubpeat, which was the vibrancy we were seeking for our event.

Would be happy to recommend the band for future events!

Wedding Band

After seeing The Sidewalk Crusaders perform on the streets of Toronto a few times, we decided that they would be the perfect addition for our wedding. They were a crowd favorite and Peter's energy while on the sax was incredible. We highly recommend them for any event. Thank you again for being a part of our special day.

Amazingly unique, memorable performance

We had Peter play saxophone at our wedding for our cocktail hour and he did not disappoint! He is an outstanding player and got everyone in the dancing mood as soon as the ceremony ended. He can play any song you request and did an amazing job at creating a classy, fun atmosphere for us and our guests. We would recommend him and The Sidewalk Crusaders to anyone looking for a unique addition to any event, party or wedding!

12/10 For This Group!!!

I was in charge of booking a 15 person marching band for a company trade show and WOW did The Sidewalk Crusaders impress!!! Not only was Peter incredibly professional and easy to work with, the music and band was exactly what we were hoping for. They were punctual, friendly and dedicated to making the best show possible for us. I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for an amazing band to liven up an event/show. Their music was on point and made for a very memorable event. Thank you Peter and team for doing such a great job!

Amazing band with brass sound

We couldn’t have been happier with Sidewalk Crusaders! Not only did they learn new songs for us, but they also delivered an incredible performance. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the band, and the atmosphere they created was perfect for both the ceremony and reception. Highly recommend them if you want a band that will wow your crowd!

Brought all the vibes!!

We had Peter perform at our engagement party and he was a huge hit!!! He strolled around with his saxophone, playing over tracks we all know and love, and interacting with the audience (just the right amount). Would definitely recommend him to enhance the vibe and add fun to any event!

Great vibes for a casual wedding

We hired Peter and the Sidewalk Crusaders for our casual wedding reception in July 2025 and they were a hit with all of the guests! Not only was Peter easy to communicate and plan with, but the whole band were super positive and a great addition to our celebration. We had them play a few sets, both as background music during appetizers and also as dance music after dinner. The band really elevated the celebratory and fun nature of the party and played a lot of upbeat songs. We would definitely hire Peter and the band again in the future!

Incredible, moving and extremely passionate

We hired the Sidewalk Crusaders for my parents 40th wedding anniversary and this band made it all more special. Great rapport with
My family and a fabulous performance that had my whole family in tears (happy tears), even got my Dad going, who is generally a stoic man, a man of few words. We all had a great time that day and the passion and level of emotion you brought to our family living room was fabulous. They were incredible and would recommend them for anything as they have such a variety.

Talented, Kind, and Professional

We hired The Sidewalk Crusaders to play at our 10-year anniversary event. Peter and Co. were everything we wanted and more! Quick to respond to questions, provided all the needed info, punctual, and most importantly were beyond talented musicians that brought our evening to life. Our guests were thoroughly impressed with their performances. We’d asked them to do covers of two (very different) songs, which were to play at specific times during our ceremony, and they were able to perform them beautifully and exactly how we’d envisioned it.

Their ability to play a variety of songs and improvise on the spot was also very impressive. Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you guys for helping making our night so memorable!

Peter was incredible!

We hired Peter C. to play live at our wedding reception - he was truly the highlight of the night! His Sax skills are unreal, he brought everyone to the dance floor and kept the party rolling into the early hours. I've had multiple wedding guests ask for his contact information after our wedding as they were so impressed. He will turn your event into the party of the year! We can't recommend him enough.
