"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! 😍
"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 READ MORE BAND REVIEWS

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.

------------------------> 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! :)
"We had a great time at the wedding!
You did a fabulous job along with the other talented musicians! It was so much fun. Heard many compliments about your work. Thank you for your professionalism.
I'm not sure how you do it all the time though. We have been exhausted this past week. Whenever we talk about the wedding, your music comes up and we are so happy that you were a part of our day.
Thank you again -- Mary Duffy

“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! 😀”
