"Barry sang at our wedding reception and gave the whole evening the exact vibe we wanted to remember forever. All of our family and friends loved it. He adds a whole classy dynamic to the ambience. Barry was perfect for our evening. Rachelle Summers"

"Great live Spanish Rumba Flamenca! I have been working with Dos Bandoleros for 4 years and they are always an audience favorite, always on time, and extremely easy to work with!!"

"We went to Crete to celebrate our dear grandmother's 70th birthday in a beautiful open-air hotel. That evening the Marmitas band performed and what really amazed us was how they tailored their repertoire to include our grandmother's favourite songs, making the evening even more personal and memorable. Their warm, uplifting energy created a wonderful atmosphere and left such an impression that they'll always have a special place in our hearts!"

"We got married at the beginning of August near Siena. Our wedding planner Kathrin recommended the BIT Band for our ceremony, the aperitif afterwards and for the party in the evening. We were more than happy with the decision. They rehearsed songs especially for our ceremony. A great band that created an incredible atmosphere at our intimate wedding. They made our day unforgettable for us and also for our guests. Many thanks for that! 🤍 With love, Justine and Yannick"

"The Bit Band played our ceremony, cocktail reception and wedding reception and from start to finish were UNBELIEVABLE. They are a fantastic group of musicians and their professionalism and artistry was evident in their performances. Mary was our point of contact leading up to the big day and we felt very supported since we were planning a destination wedding. She shared her expertise and helped guide us in our music choices while still letting our personality come through. After hearing some additional demos, we decided to add a brass section (trumpet and sax) to our reception and it was a huge hit! So many of our guests approached us during and after their performance sharing how much they loved them. We danced our hearts out and couldn't be happier to have them part of our big day."

"If you're looking for the ultimate party band these guys are it. They play a great variety of music that's easy to dance to and they always get the crowd going. I would highly recommend them for any private event and I will continue to attend their public events. And they are all very nice people who are easy to talk to. Check them out!"

"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!"

"Electro Retro were amazing! They took the time to get to know us and our wedding plans before the event, and they were a perfect fit! They understood all of our needs (from ceremony DJ through the end of the dance party -- including accommodating 2 toasts given over the phone due to COVID!) and worked with us to make our event exactly what we wanted, including by dressing in costumes that fit the vibe of our event. They exceeded our expectations, and really made our wedding -- including the two hours of dance party after dusk -- everything we were hoping it would be. I would absolutely book them again. (Sorry, we don't have our professional photos back yet!)"

"Oh my gosh, my family watched the travel team perform at a campground we stayed at and it was phenomenal! They were so great to listen to. They were uniformly dressed perfectly for the occasion, and the entire campground was buzzing with how good they were for 2 days after the performance "Those gals are incredible singers." Maybe longer, but my family had to get back home. Their stage presence and audience interaction was welcoming and perfect for the occasion. "
