  • “We had our wedding in Jupiter FL, and had heard of John Parker from various people & online.

    If we could give him 10 stars we would, because he & his band ROCKED our reception!

    They have a really uniquely classy high energy style.

    JP nailed the mix & all we're still hearing about, weeks later, is "that band"”

    All we hear from our N.Y.C. guests since was how they were completely blown away.. We couldn't agree more!

    His & female vocalist's voices, the band sound, JP's upbeat emceeing & ability to keep EVERYONE on the dance floor all night. ALL fantastic!

  • “John Parker was SO organized and professional, he made everything very easy.

    Kept us organized through the whole process from the beginning when we first met & booked the band - up until our wedding day. He was with us & quick to help whenever we needed advice or suggestions.

    When it came to the band, we were blown away.. our guests all danced endlessly & the band was so fun.

    All in all can't say enough good things about our experience with JP! Our friends and family keep telling us about “that band”, even now, weeks later.. Best wedding ever!”

  • “We saw John at another wedding and had to try to get him for ours..

    He and his band were really fun and popular with our guests.

    Def knows how to handle the crowd and keep them dancing, and is way better vs. others we had seen at our friends' weddings. (they said that too!)

    So glad we were able to get him, very highly recommended!”

  • “John & band were nothing short of amazing at our reception, & he was always very helpful throughout the process.

    We did not have to worry about anything!

    My husband & many of our guests are in the performing arts & we really appreciated their playing & singing, and people won't stop telling us we need to plan another party have them again.

    Really appreciate you all being with us on our special day. Thank you JP!”

  • “This band is worth every penny. JP MAKES the wedding. (This was actually my 3rd JPB performance. We literally planned our wedding date around his availability.)

    My tip (besides hiring this band): Don't give them too many music recommendations. Give them a general idea of what you like & don't, and let John read the room — he's a PRO at it..

    The band even learned our first dance song just for our wedding, as it wasn't on their list of 1,000 tracks they already knew — we hadn't expected it, and it was a sweet surprise.

    thank you!”

  • "We had SO much fun at the wedding. You and your band were absolutely amazing. Your set list was exactly what I wanted, all my friends and family loved it. Love Hall and Oates, 80's, crazy......

    Every vendor we had at the wedding said it was absolutely the most insane party they have seen. I had 30 people come up to me saying how much did it cost to get you guys..... And I still have the music in my head right now.

    Absolutely amazing, it was one of the best weddings I have ever experienced. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. If I ever have a party in the near future you will be my first call. Amy and I thank you" -- Patrick Shepard

    They were great, and given unfortunate experiences my friends had with their bands, we feel lucky we got him.

    Our friends went from their 20s to 30s, & our parents and other guests to their 70s & John got them ALL dancing. He took requests & had an upbeat vibe.

    We’re extremely happy to recommend JPB to anybody wanting fun for everyone & to not have to worry about anything”

  • "...I have been attending these reunions for years, and have NEVER seen such a positive response to the entertainment.

    One problem, the beer truck complained that beer sales were down sharply while you were playing, due to the high number of people dancing :)

    I hope that someday we get the opportunity to work together again, you have a great team..."
