  • “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!

    We're incredibly grateful.. you made our special day totally unforgettable. Thank you John!”

  • “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!”

    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!”

    He's amazing, really knows how to read a crowd, play songs for all ages & always keeps the dance floor full.

    Our daughter's friends also loved him and the band, and our friends did too, so we were super happy all the way around.

    Great singer, fun MC, and a nice guy too. Super easy to work with & professional, so we recommend him highly.”

    These guys ROCK.

    And they bring personality - The whole band is wildly talented.

    All of our guests cannot stop remarking about what a fun wedding we had and how good the band was.

    John was extremely professional and organized the whole time. He made sure to hit all of our "must play songs" in and even sang two songs in Italian! It's amazing to hear the range and skill level of the band.

    If you want your wedding to be the most fun dance party, look no further than John Parker Band"
