    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!)

    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!”

  • "..I'm not sure if all your weddings are a fist pumping, scream at the top of your lungs dance party, but our guests all fawned over you.

    I thought the highlight of the night was when Tony got on stage like he was at a AC/DC concert and almost did a stage dive in the middle of the guitar solo.  The look on your face was priceless!!.."
