We LOVE 2 Proud 2 Beg! We saw them perform at a gala 4 years ago, and we instantly knew that whenever we got engaged - they had to be our wedding band. They bring so much energy and are all so talented. We loved working with Ron, his communication was wonderful leading up to the event. Highly suggest hiring them for your event!
WOW!!!! This band is AWESOME- our guests had a great time on the dance floor dancing to a mix of classics and newer music! We are so grateful to have had them join us for our wedding reception. It was the best night and dance floor ever!
This band is FANTASTIC. My husband and I used to go watch them perform at Kelly's in Westport prior to the pandemic. When we got engaged, they were the first vendor we hired (apart from the reception venue). Ron was super easy to work with and even video chatted with us prior to our wedding to get to know us and go over the reception schedule with us. During the reception, 2Proud2Beg absolutely crushed it. People of all ages were quite literally on the dance floor from 8 p.m. to midnight. Our guests were in awe of the band and continually told us so both during our reception and after!
Any questions?
So many of our guests came up during and after our wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed the band. They were fun, had a great set list, and most of all, they were extremely talented. The saxophone player played like it was freaking Cochella it was awesome. They covered our first dance song (which was an entirely different genre than they play) and I think I love it more than the original. Having a band was something that was really important to me, and I was not disappointed at all. They brought all their equipment and lighting and, as far as I know, worked seamlessly with the venue and coordinator.
Amazing performers. Easy to work with. Would love to work with them again in the future.
2Proud2Beg, led by Ron, was a real treat to have at our wedding. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they made it. They are all true professionals and very gifted artists! They did an outstanding job of keeping the night fun and lively. This is your band if you want wonderful music and your guests to be dancing all night long!!!!!
We have had SOO many people who were at our wedding tell us how much they loved the band. As soon as my husband proposed, he said he wanted 2Proud2Beg to play at our wedding. I hadn't heard them perform live until our wedding and they were amazing. I distinctly remember being on the dancefloor the night of the wedding thinking how perfect the band was and how happy I was we booked them. Working with Ron was so easy and fun! He was professional and had helpful suggestions with regards to timelines and songs. I truly can't recommend them enough! Hands down one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding!

Megan thank you so much for the kind words. We were honored to be a part of you and Paul's special day. I am so glad you and your family and friends enjoyed the band. We had an absolute blast and your friends and family were absolutely amazing...
! We wish you and Paul the absolute best as you begin your future together.
I utilize 2Proud2Bed for a variety of contract gigs from Special Events to New Years Eve. I endure to book them early as they are quite popular and I want to ensure they're available for us. Their unique, continuous playing style means the party doesn't stop once they get going. Guest interaction is plus and their approachability is appreciated.
2Proud2Beg performed at our wedding reception and it was everything that I hoped and dreamed!
Background story - My (now) husband and I have been fans of 2Proud2Beg for years so when it came time to planning our wedding having 2Proud2Beg was an easy choice. Though, we got married in Colorado. We reached out to the band manager Ron and asked if they would be willing to travel. Sure enough they made the trip and we are SO thankful. The planning process was super easy because Ron was so organized and quick to respond. Then on the day of the wedding, they showed up on time and ready to perform. This band is amazing. Not only are they professionals but they are extremely talented. They had the dance floor full the entire reception because they are SO good. We had so many compliments from our wedding guests stating that our band was amazing and they had such a great time. My husband and I agree - we had the best time at our wedding reception thanks to 2Proud2Beg. I cannot say thank you enough to Ron and the 2Proud2Beg crew. You all truly helped our wedding day the best day ever! THANK YOU!
Wow! I cannot thank and recommend Ron and 2Proud2Beg enough for the non-stop fun they provided at our reception. Our guests were literally chanting "ONE MORE SONG" at the end -- and they provided. I've never seen a reception dance floor that full with every age group from the first song to the encore. We had searched high and low for a local KC band that wasn't the typical "wedding cover band" and as soon as we saw their Motown-filled set list with some of the 90s classics and modern songs we love, we were all in. They were a pleasure to work with during planning and were extremely accommodating with our venue's restrictions and room flip. Book them now!

Alicia,
Thank you for the very kind words. The guest at your wedding were one of the most fun groups we have performed for. They danced all night and kept the party fun and energetic. We were thoroughly honored to be a part of your special day....
I wish you and Benjamins the absolute best in your life together. Be blessed my friends!
Other than picking my lovely bride, hiring 2Proud2Beg was easily the best decision I made regarding our wedding in Columbia, MO. Ron and his team were extremely professional, and catered to all of our needs with no questions asked. Ron was a great MC (first dance, cake cutting, speeches, food dismissals...everything!), and the rest of the band had non stop energy all night! Not only did they bring an amazing MoTown sound (which is why my wife and I hired them), but they showed great versatility in brining modern songs and also a few 80s hits to satisfy all of ours guests. The dance floor was packed al night...and we still get compliments till this day of how great the band was. I HIGHLY recommend Ron and his team...they made our special day what it was. Bravo, 2Proud2Beg!

Ron was caring, kind, and helpful throughout the booking and planning process. He really focused on making the day special for us. The band kept the energy high and the dance floor full the entire night. We received a lot of compliments about them, and couldn't have been happier having them entertain our guests. We've even recommended them to other wedding couples who have booked them. Go with Ron and 2Proud2Beg - you'll be so happy you did!
This band was worth every penny and they did an awesome job! They filled the dance floor!!! Ronald was very easy to work with as we planned the evening!
