Over a year out wedding planning for the biggest day of our lives, I discovered the incredible All-Star Jukebox. Live music is the central part of our relationship. Going to weekend shows and festivals is a regular activity, especially in the jam band scene and with Phish in particular. I had screened dozens of groups on the mission to find a band that I felt could accomplish this kind of vibe and execute my vision of a great concert at a wedding, with classic wedding songs and a mix of some of my special jam band song requests. Mind you, Phish/Trey Anastasio has complicated music that not every band could pull off and to say that All-Star Jukebox absolutely took the night to the most amazing level would be an understatement. This group delivered in spades more than I could have ever dreamed. I was a little neurotic in how I wanted the night to be and planning with Brian could not have been easier. He is truly the best partner. I would say that there was some give and take and compromise on what the band could do, but there was not. To my astonishment, I do not care how many alterations I made, or what song I asked if he thought the band could do and every single time he came back with a “Yes.” I dare anyone to throw them a piece of music that they cannot master and deliver on the day. In the jam band scene, songs are often extended and taken to another level with improvised segments and at our wedding, All-Star jukebox was given the freedom to take songs for a ride and every song was given the royal treatment. Think a song like “Shout” with a few more “little bit louder nows…” type of thing where the crowd is going absolutely nuts or the horns or piano just having their own solos on songs that you want to go deep with. So incredible. I cannot recommend ASJ enough. Plan any type of party with this crew and let them know the theme, the vibe, the songs, whatever and I will guarantee an absolute dance party. I am still waiting for a lot of the professional videos taken from the wedding but I had to get the show closer on my own camera which I posted to YouTube (It is shaky but you can hear how great this band can be performing a song that usually closes out epic Phish shows). Please enjoy and reach out to All-Star Jukebox to have them decorate your memories and time with their talent. It will be the best decision you made. Tip from a wedding planner vet: Don’t stress, open bar and All-Star Jukebox is all you need (And we are sober couple, so you do the math). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Gn6HvYpxY

The music was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and All-Star Jukebox delivered. We got a 8 piece band for our wedding and it was the best decision ever. They are true musicians and sound fantastic —their vocals are top-notch, and they can really put on a show. They packed the dance floor all night, making our wedding exactly what we wanted and so much fun! Brian Wachhorst was incredibly responsive, proactive, and a pleasure to work with. On the wedding day, he went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and helped with other parts of our wedding!

All Star Jukebox was FANTASTIC!!!! They played at our wedding and the whole entire experience was just truly 5 stars. The dance floor was packed full the entire night, every single guest told me they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. They had multiple calls prior to the wedding to ensure we chose our songs and they played everything perfectly. They even learned some new songs for us! Such a blast - if you are considering booking them for a wedding, do it!

Any questions?

Outstanding band and professional representation! Bok with confidence!!!!

We had All-Star Jukebox for our wedding in September and couldn’t be happier with our choice. We had seen six other bands before but stopped our search after I saw the band. The band did a great job of playing the songs we wanted and reading the room to decide what else to mix in. The party was so fun and we got so many comments about how great they sounded that night and since then. In addition to the band sounding amazing, Marty is also a great emcee. And Brian was very helpful to work with in the planning leading up to the band. Highly recommend!

All Star Jukebox knows how to bring the party! They handled all my requests perfectly and had so many guests tell me they were the most fun band ever! I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the bay area! You will absolutely throw a great party!

Absolutely Awesome, Amazing high energy group. We have partnered with them 4 years in a row. Our annual gala is between 500-1000ppl and each year we get raving reviews. I highly recommend the All Star Jukebox.

12/07/2023 • Kerri B

We book All Star Jukebox several times a year for our corporate clients and always get rave reviews. Professional, thorough in the planning process, on-time and most importantly they keep the dance floor packed all night long!

Without a doubt, trusting All Star Jukebox to set the music tone for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our entire planning process. It may even be among our best decisions ever. Marty and the other 7 amazing musicians we hired for our wedding brought energy, excitement, and fun to our celebration - we were blown away, our guests were blown away, and at the end of it, we wished we had more time to dance to their incredible music! If you don’t feel like reading the rest, here is the summary: go with All Star Jukebox, seriously! Working with All Star Jukebox was easy and straightforward. They even had a night where you could go and listen to the musicians practice - a teaser of what the celebration will be like. Communicating with the team was easy and any questions were answered promptly. If you look on their website, you can see a vast list of songs to choose from. There was something for everyone. And if they didn’t have your song, they learned it, as we experienced with a beautiful rendition of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love.” We gave All Star Jukebox a list of songs we definitely wanted them to play, and guidance for other music during the night. They picked an assortment of songs that perfectly matched our vibe and kept everyone dancing right up until the end of the evening. All Star Jukebox didn’t just handle the music during the reception. Marty was the DJ during our ceremony, ensuring that our walking-down-the-aisle songs were perfectly timed. A fantastic guitarist and bass player duo from the band set a relaxed tone for our cocktail hour. The entire band opened the night with our first dance and led everyone through a lively rendition of “Hava Nagila.” Marty was a pro as emcee and he kept everyone on schedule, from dancing time, to speech time, to cake cutting time. He knew when everything needed to happen and made those transitions smooth. If you want great music at your wedding and want a major part of your celebration handled by true professionals, then you have to go with All Star Jukebox. - D&C

They are professional, talented vocalists and musicians and made our wedding wonderful and fun!!! Guest after guest not only complimented them, but sent videos to us afterwards. We thank them!

Wow! Such an amazing band! All star jukebox kept our guests dancing all night long. Me and my family were so excited to see everyone enjoying the music - and breaking out their dance moves. Marty, the MC, was very engaging with the crowd. The band really listened to our recommendations of what to play. This band made the night unforgettable. They have so much energy and are so talented. The performance was something we will all remember forever. Very professional, reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

We still cannot get over how much All Star Jukebox made our wedding. Marty, Brian and the entire ASJ group are true professionals. From hearing us out on special requests to keeping the dance floor rockin all night, it was beyond our expectations. Even letting us join in on the fun onstage. We continue to hear from family and friends who were in attendance that it was the funnest wedding they have ever been too. Not to to bias, but we agree. This can all be contributed to the ASJ band. Thank you so much! We would recommend ASJ to anyone looking for a live band for any occasion, especially a wedding.

6/11/2022 • Emily V

WORTH.EVERY.PENNY. We hired ASJ for our wedding reception and could not have been more impressed and thrilled with our decision. They were absolutely phenomenal, the best live music we have heard at a wedding. Our guests are still raving about how great the music and dance party was! If you are on the fence about anything, please don't hesitate to book ASJ. We will definitely be recommending them to everyone and looking forward to hiring them for future events.

6/09/2022 • Sarah D

Really fun and talented band that kept our guests dancing and having a great time throughout the night. They were flexible and accommodating, and made sure to play (and even learn) the songs we wanted most! The MC was really personable and engaged with the crowd as well which was amazing! Would highly recommend!

4/12/2022 • Sam F

All Star Jukebox was absolutely incredible! The band was extremely talented and kept our guests excited and on the dance floor for the entire night. Their manager and entire group were highly professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. They have a massive list of songs already in their repertoire, and also learned several songs at our request, including our first dance. The band played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All Star Jukebox truly tied together our wedding, and I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone searching for the best band for their wedding. Their energy, experience, and talent will make your wedding day a blast for everyone.

When my (now) husband and I hired AllStar JukeBox, we knew immediately that we would be in good hands. We were in such a stressful time in our lives (especially with a wedding postponement) but they were always so professional and full of guidance. From the very first day we hired the band, they paid attention to what we wanted and were full of great advice. On the day of the wedding, the band’s magic touch really came through as it was raining on our wedding day (we had an outdoor venue!) and we really needed a true professional to handle it. The band KILLED it! Everyone was up on the dancefloor and having a great time (even though it was storming outside). The music sounded amazing and our guests are still raving about our music and band from that day. The band brought energy that really made the wedding unforgettable. We are very happy with our decision of hiring AllStar Jukebox and cannot recommend them enough. If you are on the fence about getting a band, don’t hesitate to book Allstar Jukebox, it was the best decision we made for my wedding day.

10/26/2021 • Courtney J

First I want to saying working with Brian for booking during Covid was amazing! Best customer service and patience I experienced through having to rebook my wedding 3 times during a pandemic. Thank you for making it so easy and stress free! Rico, Nate and Endre did a fantastic job! They customized a song for us, we’re able to manage our small venue and perfect variety of what we were looking for. They can really sing anything!!! The whole experience was fantastic and touching. I can’t wait until we have another event so I can hire them again.

7/22/2021 • Roxanne S

The All Star crew was incredible and the best we could have imagined for our wedding! Their music was fresh, lively and energetic. MC Marty kept the party flowing and our guests engaged. The band was flexible and accommodating to any of our requests. We loved them so much that we asked them to stay an extra hour!

6/30/2021 • Alyssa B

Would highly recommend hiring All Star Jukebox for your wedding! We had to hire them very last minute, and they were fantastic and professional and very good and fast at communicating. Brian was super easy to work with and was so helpful. They were AMAZING at our wedding! We got so many compliments on how good they were by our guests. We had so much fun dancing to their music. They know how to keep the crowd engaged and dancing!

4/24/2021 • Chip C

We brought in All Star Jukebox to handle all of the music for our wedding: Cocktail Hour, Ceremony, Dinner, and Reception. They customized everything to our specifications and were extremely collaborative during the entire process. We had a very specific vibe that we were looking or and they refined their setlist to match everything perfectly. They were very organized and coordinated seamlessly with our venue and vendors. My wife and I were blown away with how well the evening went and cannot recommend these guys highly enough. They are great musicians and entertainers that put on a fantastic show!

11/20/2020 • Heather M

All Star Juke Box is a team of incredibly talented musicians that rock the house and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. We never left the dance floor. Every guest at our wedding was on their feet, dancing the night away. ASJ DJ’d the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner working with us well in advance to establish our song list. They then switched gears and performed a 4 hour set that we will be talking about for years. If you’re debating DJ vs Band for your wedding or event, go with the band! And go with ASJ, you won’t regret it.

Response from the Vendor on 11/20/2020

Hi Heather, Thank you for reviewing the band. We really enjoyed performing for you & John and your guests. Great event! Congratulations and best wishes!

9/17/2020 • Jennifer B

All Star Jukebox was responsive and professional during the planning phase, and they absolutely hit it out of the park at the wedding! They kept the energy up and played everything I had requested and then some. Our guests still talk about how awesome the wedding band was:-)

7/29/2020 • Emily L

Best wedding decision was booking ASJ! Booking All Star Jukebox was the best wedding decision we made! ASJ MADE our wedding! They put on such a great show, keeping the guests dancing all night. Brian was so patient with us, especially when we regularly asked to change the number of instruments and had difficulty making a final decision on our ceremony and special dance songs. He also helped guide us through the set planning process to make sure ASJ played our favorites and that we had the right balance of dance and slow songs. Brian went above and beyond to learn and play our fairly untraditional songs for the ceremony. They truly exceeded all expectations - not just ours, but those of our family members and friends, both young and old. In the days, weeks, and months since our wedding, guests keep telling us how amazing ASJ was! Thank you for all of the wonderful memories!

We had a great experience working with All Star Jukebox. They were really friendly and really professional throughout the process. When it came down to performing they put on such a great show, they really got everyone into the show. I heard a comment someone said they had never seen an entire wedding on the dance floor at once. Amazing stuff.

6/28/2020 • Courtney C

We had an absolute blast with All-Star Jukebox. As the bride, the most important thing to me in the whole day was to have a non-stop dance floor– and my, did the band do their part! The band has got RANGE (70's Mo-town to today's top hits), soul, and just the most fun personality. 2 years later, wedding guests still ask us who our band was and how we found them. Both Brian (manager) and Marty (band leader) were super responsive and accommodating to our requests, which included everything from attending a showcase to hear the band, to playing our favorite songs, to even working behind to scenes to line up some surprise performances (unbeknownst to me). Highly recommend to anyone looking to hire a band... and please invite me to the party!

5/27/2020 • Christian L

All Star Jukebox is amazing! They have performed at our Christmas Black Tie Dinner Dance for 4+ years. This event is attended by a group of 250+ all ages in a private club environment. The reviews have always been outstanding and they play a variety of music and genres that appeal to everyone! All Star Jukebox is extremely professional, energetic and wonderful to work with in all aspects. I highly recommend this band for weddings and all events!

Allstar Jukebox is the BEST. As we were planning our wedding, something we knew we wanted was an awesome band to really make our party fun and memorable. Allstar Jukebox not only got everyone up from their seats and dancing, they MC'd the entire reception with such enthusiasm, it created a whole other liveliness we didn't realize would be so important. They played perfect songs that fit the energy of our guests. At one point, guests broke into a massive conga line that swirled through the entire reception building! It was important to me to have slow songs sprinkled into the song line-up and Allstar Jukebox read the crowd perfectly to make this happen. They transitioned from fast songs to slow, then had no problem getting the energy back to faster songs. Besides the reception, we hired the band to run the sound for the ceremony and play background music during the cocktail hour. Music is such an important element to a wedding and knowing we could 100% trust this group, was such a relief. We had a 7-piece band, including 2 singers, drums, bass, guitar, keys and trumpet. Pricing is fair and totally transparent, no hidden fees! Highly recommend this band for a wedding or any large event. Can't wait to find an excuse to book them again!! Thank you ASJ!

We had so much fun with All Star Jukebox at our wedding! We had a 6-piece band and they rocked all night! Their music kept the guests on the dance floor, despite the crazy heat in the barn they were playing in. Everyone had so much fun and we are so grateful they were able to play at our wedding!

BOOK THIS BAND! Allstar Jukebox is as good as it gets. Their sound is great, vocals outstanding and energy matches the crowd. We recently hired Allstar Jukebox for a wedding in Napa in August 2016. They absolutely rocked our wedding reception and we couldn't be happier hiring them for the gig. The bands is comprised of a group of dynamic and talented musicians. ASJB has a deep set list ranging from doo-wop to pop and classic rock to r&b and love ballads - they can play the entire range of wedding must-haves. The band continues to learn new songs and add will learn songs at your request. Having this flexibility was really important to us. ASJB have a ton of party and wedding experience so they know what songs to play when through the night. They structured the set list in such a fantastic way and played to the mood of the group. ASJB accomodated us in a huge way - by allowing some of our friends and family to perform during the reception as well. 1. My sister-in-law performed (vocals/guitar) both our first dance and maid of honor speech. ASJB provided background percussion and worked with her weeks in advance of the wedding. 2. The band learned new songs at request!! 3. A few of my friends coordinated with ASJB in advance to get up with the band and perform vocals for a few Bruce Springsteen songs - which turned out to be hilarious and really well done. Our group didn't leave the dance floor the whole night. ASJB had a great time playing for our crew and you can tell they enjoy playing together - I really can't say enough about them. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up.

For the amount of money these guys charge, we expected a much more personalized set of music. They sent us their play list, and we painstakingly selected and faxed back a selection of songs we really liked and wanted at our wedding. However, they wrote back essentially saying we should trust them to 'do what they do best,' which probably meant that they played the same standard set they play at every wedding! In other words, too lazy to take our unique tastes and desires into consideration. We were pretty upset, since they played several songs that were definitely on our NO list or quite frankly inappropriate (we had lots of children in attendance). That being said, the guests all had a good time, oblivious to the kind of party we were TRYING to create. They certainly seemed to enjoy what was played. Also, it's worth mentioning that the sound/video clips advertised on the website did not match the band that got sent out to our event. They also insist on FULL payment about a month before the event, so there is no repercussion for an unsatisfying event.
