"Motion picture" looking band videos (not ours - 😆) are recorded on sound stages, with super expensive cameras & lighting, & recording studios & all kinds of effects - then the singing is lip-synced to previously recorded audio while the video part is being filmed.
There's NOTHING at all wrong with famous recording artists doing that - it's exactly how music videos on channels like MTV are made.
BUT, that's often not how it's going to look or sound at YOUR event. And if you think about it, you're NOT hiring a "movie" - you're hiring a BAND. And, in our opinion, what you should want is a good idea as to what that's REALLY going to be like.
..So.. while our videos are nowhere near as "Hollywood-like" as others - our band singing & playing IS being recorded LIVE while the videos are shot ..meaning that's HOW WE SOUND! Not how some recording studio sounds..
We respectfully submit our videos show a realistic & accurate impression of what you are actually going to get with us at YOUR event - as opposed to a staged look that just isn't realistic, without piling on $$ for lots of extra "stuff"
And, that means we will look & sound this way at YOUR event too! ...Most of our clients say our videos don't do us justice.. Ok then.. but we think that's a LOT better than seeing a band that looks & sounds online like Hollywood & then getting something MASSIVELY worse at your wedding.. Don't you agree?
It doesn't hurt to know what to - REALISTICALLY - expect! 😍
"Thank you for an absolutely phenomenal time on Saturday.
We had so much fun and our guests did too! We loved seeing the packed dance floor all the way to the end of the night! :)
Thank you again for your outstanding work."

"In planning weddings, couples and their families spend so much time obsessing about little details.
When it’s all over though, people don’t remember what the centerpieces looked like or what the mother-of-bride wore. They remember if they had a great time.
And everyone at our wedding had a FANTASTIC time, thanks to the John Parker Band!!!"

------------------------> SCROLL or SWIPE to the right to see ALL the clips! -------------------->
At events, people that shoot video on their phones have NO idea where to stand so it doesn't sound weird, or look dark - but we're NOT going to send out some cameraman to interrupt people's events! - So... we take what we get & just have to accept what's here is not great sounding or looking.
Also, sometimes people seem to like to record the most "interactive" moments, like JP singing to the crowd, or the guests acting goofy, etc... and accordingly, that's a lot of what you see here. While those moments are unquestionably fun - all the video of it might leave the impression that's all we do - While nothing could be further from the truth.
There's a time & place for that kind of thing - please trust we have the common sense to know when that's the case! :)
"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.

“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!”
