We could not have asked for a better wedding band! We knew they were the ones when they performed at a wedding we attended last year when we were starting our wedding planning. From the very first song to the last, they seriously brought nonstop energy and kept every single guest, no matter their age, out on the dance floor all night long. All of the band members were incredibly talented, the vocals were outstanding, and their song selection was perfect with a great mix of options that all guests knew and loved. Beyond their performance, they were professional, easy to work with, and clearly passionate about making our wedding unforgettable and everything we hoped for it to be. They even helped us make several special requests possible without a question. We’ve had countless guests tell us it was the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. One even already booked them for their wedding next year. If you’re looking for a band that will bring the party and create memories your guests will be talking about for years, we would highly recommend booking 56DAZE . It was truly one of the best decisions we made!!

The band was phenomenal! The dance floor was packed all night thanks for their incredible song list, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process! They even learned and added new songs that we requested and also setup early at our venue so that we could use their sound system for the actual ceremony earlier in the day. The guys were all super nice and super fun and really made our sons wedding something special!

Tony Poling

Manager

Dedicated to making sure your day is perfect! At his own wedding 25 years ago, Tony hired a top-rated wedding band. On the day of the wedding, not only did the band show up and setup during dinner (clanging around and making noise), they also showed up with all different players (hired guns) including the keyboard player which he had been working with. Tony knew 56DAZE could do better. This is why 56DAZE will always be setup before your event starts, be rehearsed, and will always have the same key players. We are a group of professionals working to make it the best day ever for you.

56Daze was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, they played an amazing mix of classic hits and crowd favorites that kept everyone on their feet all night. Their energy was ...

siveness was off the charts quick. Then...the wedding night itself...holy moly. My guests danced ALL NIGHT LONG. The song selection and set order was perfect. Every "must play" was achieved. The smiles were everywhere. Since the wedding, I have had tons of compliments about the band. You guys made the night! I have a friend who runs an event in CALIFORNIA that wants you guys to come out for it. Truly spectacular. THANK YOU!

We had the greatest experience with 56Daze as our wedding band!! Tony was always responsibe, easy to communicate with, and determined to make sure our day was perfect. On the day, ...

he ran our ceremony music flawlessly and helped make sure we were staying on track with our time. The reception was truly the best night of our lives, thanks to 56daze! They honored our special requests for family traditions, which were the highlights of the wedding day. Its been 3 months and everyone is still talking about how incredible the band was! Not only did they help to make our day special, but they truly put on an amazing show. They played the music we wanted, and it was like our own personal concert!! Our venue coordinators even said it was the best wedding reception they had seen, thanks to the incredible performance by 56Daze. We are even tracking their live performance schedule and trying to go to a festival performance, we enjoyed them so much! I would recommend them to any friend or family, and would hire them again for an event in a heartbeat. Thank you, 56Daze!

They were super responsive and easy to communicate with. They listened to what our daughter wanted and also did a perfect job with the ceremony songs and the MC duties. We could not have asked for more. Thank you 56Daze for helping us make a night to remember!

ence. It’s hard to find the words to describe how we feel and how great of a job they did. The fact that they learned our favorite song for our first dance was special and astounding. It gave us goosebumps. Tony's emcee work with spot on. The music during all phases was just perfection. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention how special it was that they included our son in the final song. What a surprise that was and it meant so much to us, and he felt special being included in that way. We will treasure that day/night forever. Thank you for making it so special.

hing from the intros, cake cutting, first dance, supplementary dances, announcements, and more. Anything you need or want in your wedding reception, they are willing to work with you to make it happen. From the day we booked 56Daze, communication was very clear and available. We never had to worry about schedules, event details, or anything. On the day of our wedding, the band maintained the timeliness of our reception flawlessly. I was genuinely impressed at how well they maintained the timeline, and I never felt like we were rushed. I would not hesitate to recommend 56Daze to anybody. They were very professional and put on a 10/10 show!

sy. Tony helped us narrow down our music selection, but left everything up to us. I mentioned at some point that Weezer was a favorite band of mine, and they learned Say It Ain't So for the wedding! They absolutely killed it and everyone had a great time. At the wedding itself, it was so helpful to have Tony MC for the event. He kept things moving, and was very well practiced for the MC portion. The music felt very catered to us. It is 3 months later, and people are still talking about the band. The dance floor was bumping for the entire wedding. So great! We would 100% recommend booking 56DAZE.

ination wedding, so beforehand I was a little concerned about energizing the dance floor and making sure guests would have a good time. If you can relate in any way, look no further this is the band for you! We hired 56DAZE for our wedding in April 2023 and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tony was extremely professional and communicative during the planning process and even agreed to assisting us with the music for the ceremony. When it came time for the dance floor to open up, the band performed brilliantly ! They did such a great job of reading the audience and knowing what songs to play when. At the end of the night, our guests started chanting "One more song!" and they graciously agreed to play another to please the crowd. If you have the opportunity to book them for your wedding or event, DO IT! You will not be disappointed.

ns out that going with a band and hiring 56 daze was a huge hit and the best decision we made. We took the time to see other bands and quickly realized that 56 daze was the right decision for us. From start to finish, the band kept our guests on the floor. It was the main topic of discussion about how much fun they were. If you're looking to save some time and listen to some great music, hire 56 daze. You won't be disappointed. They brought the house down with some great music and awesome showmanship. They were AWESOME !! Jim and Lisa Wheeler

They are true professionals who care about the couple and making it their day special. We told Tony how much we love “guardians of the galaxy” and the song “come and get your love”. He surprised us as was able to incorporate the song at the best moment, a memory I think we’ll remember forever! Could not recommend this band enough!

Book 56Daze!! You will be beyond happy you did! We had a beautiful wedding for our daughter and son in law. Two years in the making and Tony and 56Daze won the BEST vendor award!! ...

Working with Tony through three postponements was as easy as it could be. His correspondence was almost immediate and the planning was the simplest as with any vendor. The ease in planning is great BUT it is the talent that he and the band have that will BLOW you away. We STILL have guest raving about the band! And we all know how important the party is!! The music will be beyond belief and if you have any hesitation in having a live band on your vendor list, contact Tony and immediately you’ll know how great he is. Listen to their music and it will be the easiest decision you make! And they are busy!! Not just weddings, but they play everywhere including the Rock Hall of Fame. 56 Daze is amazing and also so reasonable priced!! Love this band!

Booking our wedding with 56Daze was a no brainer. We had already come out to watch the band at a local venue, and had seen and heard in person how amazing they were. They have a ...

huge range of songs they can play- old, new, rock, pop, funk, country.. They were even playing some songs that had only recently hit the radio. They are like chameleons, they can match the style and sound of pretty much any band (even Journey!) dead-on. Their sound is absolutely incredible. Our wedding guests all raved about them. We had numerous comments to the effect of "Oh my god, that band was amazing! I've been to a lot of concerts, and this is by far the best band I've ever seen!". Quite honestly, they made our reception great! They had a great synergy with the crowd, and their music energized everyone! We were all pumped the entire night, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. The band lead, Tony, was fantastic to work with. He made everything super easy for us. After meeting with Tony for just a half hour, we had all music planned and set for every part of our reception! All we had to do was pick the songs we wanted, he did the rest. He had everything thought out, even some of the important things we wouldn't have considered. He gave us the options, all we had to do was decide. They were also very flexible during the reception. Our wedding venue threw us a curveball that forced us to delay opening the dance floor (and the band) for a half hour, which scrambled the schedule of events for our reception. Tony again made this easy for us, suggesting a simple way to rearrange our schedule and get back on track. The venue let us stay an hour later due to the problem, and the band had absolutely no issue playing until the very end. This band is extremely talented, all class, and will absolutely make your wedding reception more memorable and fun than you would have ever thought possible.

mmense talent kept the dance floor packed all night, and I knew I had to have them at my own wedding one day. Sure enough, when our time came, 56Daze was one of the first vendors we contacted and booked, and we’re so glad we did! Planning a wedding during a pandemic had its challenges, but from the beginning, Tony and the guys were easy to work with and beyond understanding and patient. They are true professionals who are passionate about what they do and provided us with great recommendations that helped the order and timing of our reception flow seamlessly. They also helped me surprise my dad and brother with custom Chicago Cubs jerseys, which meant the world! We had the most amazing time dancing the night away with our friends and family, and couldn’t have asked for more. We still get compliments on how our music brought guests - of all ages - together. We cannot overstate how wonderful they are and hope you consider them for your big day, too!

5 stars is not enough!! Don't even hesitate or second guess hiring 56Daze!! Thanks to 56Daze, our wedding was a party our guests are still talking about a year and a half later! ...

They truly come for a performance! So professional and bring lighting to add beautiful ambiance to the dinner and then really step the party up an additional notch! The dance floor was overflowing the ENTIRE night! Tony was a FANTASTIC emcee for the night keeping each part of the reception flowing easily into the next. When the father of the groom added surprise cowbells to the wedding as an ode to the couple being Toledo Walleye fans, Tony went with it and added some Toledo Walleye fun using the cowbells. He kept the guests engaged and more than entertained all night!! By listening alone, some guests couldn't tell it was a band because their covers are TOP NOTCH! I wish I could marry my husband every day because he's that great, and if I could, I would hire 56Daze EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!

Anna C

eams come true. We cared a great deal about the music and were sold on hiring the band after hearing them play at a local bar in town. We got married on New Year's Eve and the band was so flexible with our timeline. They happily accommodated special requests like counting down to the new year. Tony is fun to work with and very professional. He is an excellent MC and knew just how to keep the night flowing and fun. Tony even tracked down a hard to find version of our song for the father daughter dance. When the band started playing, the dance floor was instantly filled and stayed that way all night! When the band took a break, Tony had the perfect playlist to keep the party going and our guests never left the dance floor. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun our band was and how TALENTED they were. I cannot recommend these guys enough!! It will be the best vendor decision you make.

Taylor C

The absolute PERFECT entertainment choice for our big day! I've always envisioned our wedding as providing the best experience for our guests, and 56DAZE went above and beyond all ...

expectations! They play such a wide range of songs, we had guests from age 70 to 7 on the dance floor all night long! They even learned a few songs before the wedding per our request. I cannot hype this band enough, and hope to hear them play again soon!

They are open to playing any requests that you have, but also have a song list you can chose from which makes it helpful when planning. I would 100% recommend 56DAZE to anybody, they were worth every penny!!!!

56DAZE was the perfect band to play at our wedding. Tony and the rest of the band were the perfect MC, kept the night moving, made sure we stayed on schedule, and most importantly...

brought energy to the dance floor through their great music. My lovely bride and I had dozens of guests come up to us throughout the night to compliment us on our band choice. We do not live in the Toledo area, and wanted to book the best band in the area. Not living in the area, we were not able to see 56DAZE prior to booking them. We booked them based upon their flawless on-line reviews alone, and they did not disappoint! I cannot say enough positive things about 56DAZE. If in doubt because you have not seen them before - book them without thinking twice - otherwise it could be too late. 56DAZE played a key role in making our wedding night as perfect as it could be, from the second Tony met us next to our limo waiting for our arrival. They also have top notch equipment, and their stage lighting is amazing and professional. Best band in NW Ohio, hands down.

s packed all night! Knowing I (groom) wanted a band over a DJ, I researched a lot of different bands in/around the western Ohio area. Not having seen them play personally and going strictly off of reviews alone, I was a little hesitant at first to book them. Talking with Tony put that hesitation to ease. We had a few special requests and a few off the wall requests to which Tony and the band happily fulfilled! Our wedding was July 20th and people are still coming up to us and telling us how much fun/energetic/awesome the band was! Thank you 56 Daze! Looking forward to seeing you guys play again soon!!!

56 Daze is worth every penny of their fee! From toddlers to my 87 year old mother, the dance floor was packed for our wedding. Their music spans hits from the 60's to today and ma...

ny genres. Many people commented that they are the best band they have ever heard at an event. The band learned 2 of our favorite songs which they performed perfectly. Tony Poling served as the emcee as well and helped the night run smoothly and keep to our timeline. Tony also put together a playlist that we used during the appetizer and dinner hours as well as music played during their short breaks. I've heard some bands limit the time they will play. These guys made themselves available as long as we wanted them! They took all of our worries away about the music and people having a good time. The band is very professional and take what they do very seriously. Tony was very easy to get ahold of and responded quickly to any questions that we had. Simply the best!

All our guests keep talking about how amazing our wedding band was, and we would recommend them to anyone!

to find a band this talented. They played until we had no choice but to shut down. They even surprised me when my best man played a song with them. Tony was fantastic to work with leading up to and during the wedding. He did a great job as the MC and was flexible with last minute changes. They did a terrific job playing to the audience and making this an event people did not want to end. This is most definitely the band you want performing at your wedding or special event.

ur big day. The guys were even nice enough to let me and my dad get on stage and play a few songs with them too! They are the most professional and talented group you can chose for your wedding and you won't have to worry about a thing because they take control of the party and plan out the entire night so there's no awkward silences or moments. It was such a relief not to have to worry about the reception schedule ourselves and just let Tony and the guys tell us what's going on and where we needed to be. Cannot give these guys high enough praise, they are worth every penny.

nted more! They were VERY accommodating in playing our first dance song live even though it was not on their playlist -- even after asking them a couple weeks prior! Tony was awesome to work with - even with being here in Arizona, it was such a smooth planning process. We received so many compliments on how great our band was & we couldn't have been more happier. Thank you for helping make our special day so memorable, you guys are the BEST!!!

Fantastic! If you want a band to get your group dancing 56 Daze is it. They are a professional band that is easy to work with and they sound amazing. No joke. You want a REAL band ...

to play your wedding? 56 Daze is that band! They played Motown classics, 80s must haves, contemporary country and GNR. Guests who work in the music industry were impresssed with their performace, execution and sound. We can't wait to book them again for a work event.

From the bass solo in Call me Al to the excellent rendition of the Time's Jungle Love you can't go wrong with this band. Energetic, fun and able to read the floor they were a blast...

. Highly recommend!
