Wedding band

[Newtonian 453]

Anybody have recent positive experiences with wedding bands? Daughter is getting hitched in August. We're looking for a group that can do everything from standards to rock to funk. Yeah, funk.

We used this guy for our ceremony and cocktail hour. 

 

He spends the summers in NJ and the winters in Key West. 

 

He was great and accommodated my wife's extensive selection of songs.

 

Everyone loved his music.

 

I know he does things with Bands, but not sure if that is a side project. Might be worth an email to find out.

I can't remember the last wedding I went to that had a band. All have used DJs.

Frank Bennett out of East Hanover.  They have a band for every occasion.  They were great for me.

Brian Kirk and the Jirks. Not the cheapest but very talented and they have a knack for getting people on the dance floor.

Noresman has a band on this forum, don't know if they do weddings or what Genre's they play. Worth a shot asking him though.

Shorty Long and the Jersey Horns.  Have seen them live a few times, great party band that plays rock and funk.  They do weddings.

Believe me the thought crossed my mind. Or even an iPod. Not something I feel like getting divorced over, however.

We had a "group" named Sign of Leo at our wedding. Organist and drummer. They both had gas-powered side instruments as well. Use your imagination.

Yeah we're looking for a broad range of capabilities here. I also don't want to have to wear ear protection.

InFamous:   I am with you.... My first thought was the same:  wedding rings = wedding bands.   Duh!

Check out the Amish Outlaws. They did a wedding or too. That looks like fun....
