THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ®
"We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun."
A Sought Out City

"All we can say is Wow! Jay and his crew were amaaaaaazing! Truly made the night so memorable and fun. We couldn't be happier. From the minute they got to our house until they packed up their last instrument, they were nothing but professional, polite, respectful and friendly. And let's talk about how talented and entertaining they were! Even our neighbors said that they sat in their driveway and enjoyed the sounds of the evening. They truly ""brought the house down"" and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative. We thanked Jay, and Rob's in touch w him about Venmo-ing, what we hope is a generous tip for him and his band. Monica, you too have been nothing but so helpful and gracious. It takes a village and we are so grateful for our fantastic village of vendors such as you and Jay. Thanks again for everything!!

Seven
"Choosing the Se7en Band to perform at our wedding was a no-brainer! Two years ago we saw them perform at a bar and the second they played their first song, we immediately asked who they were because we were absolutely blown away by their talent. Fast forward to planning our wedding day, we HAD to book this band. The Se7en Band exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding! They kept everyone on the dance floor! Our family and friends were AMAZED by their talent, and everyone is still talking about them! In addition, the Se7en Band was a pleasure to work with. We are so thankful that we found them two years ago and even more grateful that they performed at our wedding. They are so much fun!!! If you are looking for the best wedding band ever, please look no further than The Se7en Band. All the best, Amy & Andrew"
Ostrich Hat
"We hired Ostrich Hat to play at our wedding and they were incredible. They learned to play our first dance and the mother/son dance (which were pretty obscure tunes). They were professional and a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. They were also one of the most reasonably priced bands out there. I would absolutely hire them again and couldn't recommend them highly enough.
