    We were very impressed with John’s professionalism, respect for our wishes, and of course the talent of the band members!

    And no breaks!!”

  • "Thank you for making our vision for our wedding a reality.

    More than anything, Michael and I wanted the reception to be a party, with lots of dancing. And that’s exactly the mood you and the band provided.

    Your song selections were excellent, and the music (and fun) never stopped.

    You really made the night perfect and were so professional. Having you provide the entertainment for the wedding was one of the best decisions that we made!"

  • "Thank YOU John!  You all were wonderful.

      Rodney and I were adamant about having good food and good music, but we went back and forth about the amount of money we were going to be spending…  we paid for almost everything ourselves, and have been saving every penny possible so that our wedding was our dream. 

    ...we both agreed that it was money well spent.  Everyone raved about you, and I believe you will be contacted by others that were at our wedding for weddings coming up in their families.

        Thank you again…" Hillary Morgan

    Family members who often stay on the sideline were on their feet dancing.

    The band had a great selection of music, knew what songs to play to keep the party going, they listened to our requests and had great crowd work.”

    You did a great job and I bet you will receive a lot of referrals.

    You could not have done a better job and been more professional.

    The most asked question that I was asked was "How did you find such a fabulous band".

    Thanks Again"

JP Band Reviews from Weddings & other events!
  • “The John Parker Band is the best wedding band.

    I had been to a few other weddings where they performed and it was an easy decision to have them play at our wedding.

    We were not disappointed”

  • "Hi John, Thank YOU! We were excited that you were able to perform for Anne’s wedding and Dan’s party. I have one simple requirement for a fabulous party: The John Parker Band! The dance floor was always packed, and no one wanted to leave. People were complementing ME, when all I did was call YOU. How can I take credit for that?! Even non-dancers were up there dancing. So many commented on your talent, range of songs, and that the music never stopped for a break. So thanks for making the party such a fun success!.." -- Barb Eichenlaub READ MORE JOHN PARKER BAND REVIEWS

  • “We had JP play for a small wedding on Ocean Key Sunset Pier, 15 people and they played for us like we were a party of 100. I appreciated that.

    The best part was the next day around town we heard how much others liked them! We overheard at the pool how people at the hotel sat out on their balcony to listen to the band.

    The next night at a bar in town we heard a group saying how great the band was at the pier the night before as they were eating dinner, they stayed to listen. I was SO excited to hear that others could enjoy them too.

    Thank you John Parker - You rock! 😀”

    I cannot even express how much every detail and effort you put into every song meant to me and my entire family and friends. I am so thankful I was able to have you entertain at my wedding

    Thank you for also being so generous and accommodating to the songs requested and the "wild and rambunctious" crowd we had.
