  • "What a wonderful treat to have you perform at our wedding. You and your fellow musicians were magical, fun, and brilliant!

    Every song was perfect and so much fun. My goal was to have our guests say it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and you helped to make that happen.

    Thank you for taking the reins and helping the night to unfold seamlessly! We will never forget the John Parker Band!

    Much love and thanks" - Allie & Elliott

  • "Truly amazing!  Energy was electrifying!!

    You and the band did an awesome job - our guests said that it was one of the best weddings that they’ve ever attended. 

    You have so many choices when planning a wedding but there truly is “no substitution”  for your band. 

    Thanks for being a major part of our magical evening.

    The performance by you and your band was over the top and the perfect complement to our celebration.

    We very much appreciate all you did and the extra performance time.

    They played non-stop and kept the dance floor packed the entire evening.

    We still have guests months later telling us how wonderful the band was at our wedding and how much fun they had dancing the night away.

    Working with John was so easy from start to finish. We didn't have to worry about a thing"

  • "What a wonderful job you did to make a memorable evening for the Debs at the Cinderella ball.

    My family and the committee felt that you had a nice mix of very current music and also oldies but goodies. In a crowd of all ages, that makes it a must which was obvious by the number of people dancing.

    We also want to let you know how much we appreciated how well you were received by the whole group thank you to you & the band for all your efforts in making an enjoyable night.."

    I hired the John Parker Band.. and I cannot say enough about them. They were amazing. I have attended a few weddings this year and none of the Bands compare.

    The guests started dancing after dinner and never stopped. I mean never stopped!

    We asked John to continue and he did. He never tired and the party just kept going. They are just fabulous!!!”

JP Band Reviews from Weddings & other events!
  • “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!”

  • "..it was excellent! We were very pleased with how you worked with us from the beginning to get our first-dance and parent dances just right.

    We were also so impressed with the musicality and professionalism of John and the band. Some requests were made right on the spot and John was able to transition right into these special songs. John also kept the night moving smoothly as a great emcee.

    Overall, we couldn't be happier. You made our special day even that much more special. We are very grateful for all of the hard work and dedication you put into our evening."

    Your name was brought up every time I asked anyone involved with weddings.

    John, it is impossible for me to thank you enough, nor is it possible for me to describe in words how absolutely great your performance was. other than to say YOU MADE MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING EVERYTHING WE HOPED IT WOULD BE AND MUCH, MUCH MORE !!!!!..."

  • “We used John Parker Band for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!!

    John made us feel at ease by talking through the timeline leading up to the wedding and did a perfect job as MC — fun, professional, and classy.

    He gave us some very helpful recommendations along the way while listening to what we wanted. They played the music we liked, read the crowd well to keep everyone dancing, and had everyone having fun the whole night!

    We continue to get compliments from our guests. We couldn’t be happier that we booked John Parker Band...we HIGHLY recommend booking them!”

  • “The John Parker Band's talent and energy cannot be beat.

    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.”

  • “Thank you so much JP Band for the amazing performance at our wedding!

    We have received nothing but compliments about you and your band. I cannot thank you enough for all that you pulled together for us.

    We are truly blessed that it turned out so wonderful! Truly incredible!

    Just so you know how much of a good time I had; I NEVER dance unless I've had a few cocktails. The night of our wedding, I barely drank, and was on the dance floor most of the night.

    You guys are truly amazing!”

    All of our guests, from college friends to parents & their friends, loved everything about your band.

  • "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

  • "...you kept the room rocking, and I am still getting compliments about how great you were.

    My sister-in-law originally was hoping for a DJ because she thinks that they are always better (in her mind). But AFTER the wedding, she was sold on a live band — as long as it is YOU! We could not have been happier!

    Thank you for doing a great job and helping to make the wedding so much fun!.."

    Our party was a hit because of you and your band---you guys really were the best band we, and our guests, have seen.

    We had a lot of people come to us (and call us afterwards) and tell us so!

    Thanks again and if there's a review I can write for you, I'd love to!"
