"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!"

"Couldn't have asked for a better wedding band. Free Rads brass band played an amazing set that got everyone dancing from the second they started. I've never seen a response like that from any wedding crowd. Excellent musicians and great variety of tunes that kept things interesting. Booking them was really easy and communication was great throughout. Everyone was on time and ready to play. Definitely recommend if you want a super funky wedding dance party! "

"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!"

"We loved our experience with the Original Moonlighters. They offered a range of genres/time periods and accommodated our setlist requests. A highlight was the female vocalist crushing Proud Mary and forming a line of ladies! They had the guests clamoring for more after the encore! Highly recommend."

"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!"

"We had the joy of taking Fanfare Express for our wedding, and they were excellent. They are well adapted to difficult conditions: capricious weather, delayed schedule as a result, ... And they created a magnificent atmosphere which delighted all the guests and especially us. Modern repertoire that had everyone spinning at the cocktail party. "
