American Deluxe performed two weeks ago for my college reunion (Amherst College class of 1990). They were incredible! In fact, they were so good that our class was deluged with guests from every other class on campus, because the word went out that the Class of 1990 had the best band on campus, and everyone was dancing their hearts out. American Deluxe does not just play and sing stunningly well. They were also a delight to work with--responsive, flexible, on time, kind. They truly made our reunion special. I would hire them for any event!!

Clay, KJ and the entire band are exceptional. They had everyone on the floor dancing all night. In hunting down a band for our daughter’s wedding, they stood out as the best vocalists (KJ, Latasha, & Thena) and highly skilled musicians (Clay, Brandon, Nick) in a sea of bands we previewed. From first contact to the last song performance they were responsive and highly professional. They delivered exactly what the bride and groom asked for and went above and beyond to do requested songs live- even better than the originals! Very easy to work with and you could tell they love performing- absolutely amazing skills. Thank you AMDLX!

AMDLX absolutely killed it at our wedding. People are still raving about the music and how talented all of the band members are. Their unique style and musicality made our wedding stand out from beginning to end. Our guests were dancing the entire night. What more could you ask for? KJ was communicative and easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He was also pitch perfect all night long and played the drums too. What can't that guy do? If you want a band with true professionalism, talent, and creativity that stands out among the rest, look no further than AMDLX.

We hired American Deluxe Band for our wedding in May 2022. We began planning our wedding in 2020 so couldn’t see or hear ADB live before retaining them. However, they sounded great in their videos and our initial conversation with them put us at ease. Throughout the planning process KJ was very responsive and easy to work with – taking our suggestions and making a few of his own.
On the day of our wedding, ADB brought it. From our ceremony to cocktail hour to several hours of dancing, they were outstanding and sounded fantastic. All night long our guests told us how much they liked the band and their set list. A few special touches: ADB’s engineer adjusted the levels and EQ throughout the night to ensure the sound was perfect – no small feat in our venue. Additionally, ADB thoughtfully accommodated a last minute request from the bride for a song near the end of their set and incorporated it smoothly.
We would definitely recommend ADB to anyone!

STAY AWAY from this band! They canceled on us five months before our daughter’s wedding via text to play elsewhere! Would not respond to our calls and emails. We had them play at two other family weddings and had trusted them- NOT to be trusted. ( we later heard they have a reputation in the industry for canceling to get a better gig!) Band leader Clay Sears cancels weddings to play for big time entertainers in LA and NY. Not worth the hassle and risk. Their band is good but limited but we got a MUCH better, GREAT band from NYC, The Groove Shop ( Silver Pro Entertainment). Get a band you can depend on, NOT ADB! Exceptional band and trustworthy

We have only the most amazing things to say about American Deluxe Band and would book them a 1,000x over. They are truly the most talented group of musicians and vocalists and we could not have been happier with the music the entire night. Our guests were coming up to us immediately all night to rave about the band and continued to talk about them well after the wedding. Everything was perfect, from the ceremony processional/recessional selections to the reception music. KJ is a dream to deal with and they are accomodating if you have any particular requests to incorporate. Truly, you will not be dissapointed if you book and we could not sing their praises more!!!!!!!!!!!

I could not recommend a band more. American Deluxe Band MADE our wedding what it was. It would not have been even close to being the same if not for them. From the beginning, KJ was extremely pleasant and professional, incredibly responsive, which is much appreciated during the wedding planning process. We were excited about them leading up to the wedding, and then on the wedding day, they blew us and all of our guests away with their talent. Every single guest commented on how they were the best wedding band they have ever experienced. The band made such special moments throughout the entire wedding from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour to then of course the reception where they truly shined. I could not recommend this band more. I would honestly pay good money to see them play again and hope to one day!

We hired American Deluxe Band after seeing their YouTube videos and enjoying their high quality sound and selection of funky song choices along with wedding standards. After speaking with KJ to book the band, talk about music choices, and finally discuss the reception playlist, we were very excited to hear AMDLX play. Their performance at our wedding reception exceeded our already high expectations. KJ satisfied almost all of our many, and sometimes idiosyncratic, song requests (e.g., Beatles deep cuts, Talking Heads, Phish, Jason Blaine, Led Zeppelin) - and he was thoughtful enough to put the ones they didn't play on the playlist for their set breaks. The dancefloor was packed all night and countless guests remarked on how amazing the band was. At times we had a crowd forming around the dancefloor as though watching a concert. We should also note that we hired two musicians from AMDLX for our ceremony and they did a lovely job. We would recommend AMDLX to anyone who wants to hear a professional, high-energy band at their wedding!

I truly cannot put into words just how incredible American Deluxe Band was at our wedding on 5/29/21. EVERYONE has been talking about the band since!
When we first started looking for a wedding band we went to cheesy showcase after cheesy showcase. Many bands were "fine", but as two people that met on a wedding dance floor, the music and the vibe of the band were incredibly important to us. My husband found American Deluxe Band on this site, we reached out and they invited us to an event to watch them play. It was a food/drink event where the music was definitely not the focus. But even in a place like that, guests were instantly drawn to the floor and dancing all night! We knew then that American Deluxe Band would be the perfect fit for our party.
Leading up to the wedding they were super accommodating in working with us to have a friend collaborate with them to sing our entrance song and first dance. As a professional musician he couldn't say enough good things about them and how welcoming they were to have him join on a couple of songs!
We added a string duo to our ceremony just a couple of months before the wedding date and it was the best decision we could have made! They sounded amazing and it brought such an elegance to our ceremony.
Our guests have consistently commented on just how incredible the band was and easily the best wedding band they've ever seen/heard -- book American Deluxe Band now! You won't regret it!

American Deluxe is comprised of skilled musicians. Their music is fabulous. Unfortunately, they're not the most professional business people to work with. I had them booked for my September wedding and found out in early June that they had double booked my date and were not available. I had been calling and emailing Clay for weeks with no response. I only got a response by finding KJ's instagram and messaging him on there. They did refund us, but I have yet to hear from the band leader, Clay, directly. KJ apologized profusely, but it felt awful to be completely ignored by Clay.

WOW. Just WOW. There aren’t words to describe how incredible American Deluxe is! They absolutely killed it at our wedding in July. We still have people almost 9 months later telling us how amazing this band was. Our guests were never NOT on the dance floor! My husband found American Deluxe when we began our search for a wedding band, and we were lucky enough to catch them live at an event when we were in town looking for venues (we live in Florida but I’m a PA native). They absolutely blew us away and we knew our search was over! Clay and everyone else were great to work with, their talent is seriously out of this world! They even ended the night with a special request of Purple Rain and we had every.single.guest on the floor to close out the reception. I could go on and on about this amazing band but I’ll say if you can snag them for your wedding - DO IT. You will NOT be disappointed.

There are no words to describe how much we (and all our guests) loved American Deluxe! From day one they were so easy to work with, extremely responsive and very flexible. They wanted to make sure that we saw them in person before we booked them, so they provided us with tickets to a gala they were playing at! During all our emails/meetings leading up to the wedding, you could just tell that they knew what they were doing. They knew exactly what to ask to elicit the information to plan the night for us. They were always responsive to emails and always so calming. On wedding day everything was beyond perfect, from the instrument duet during the ceremony to the cocktail hour duet to the entire band during the party. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and every song was better than the previous. They kept the party flowing seamlessly and never missed a beat. Everyone in the room was completely blown away by their talent, honestly they were better than the real artists for most of their songs! They were fun, enthusiastic and incredible to watch. They played music from all genres, and had the entire 220 person party dancing the night away. Of note, they played a fantastic Horah! I could go on and on raving about American Deluxe, I cannot wait for an excuse to throw another party so that I can hire them again.

We had the most amazing night! This band was simply spectacular. Their incredible talent as musicians, experience at facilitating such an event and knack at precisely reading the crowd made our wedding top notch and so much fun. I can say hands down it was the best party I’ve ever been to. All of our guests have told us how blown away they were by the band.
So thank you ADXB from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding everything we could have asked for!

We could not have picked a better band for our wedding. They are so talented and sounded amazing. The dance floor was full the entire night - we didn't want them to stop performing! Clay was super helpful during the planning process to understand what we did and didn't want. We had guests coming up to us that night asking how they could book American Deluxe for an event. Cannot recommend American Deluxe enough!

Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding was having Clay and the rest of American Deluxe as our band. A number of guests told us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard, and some even asked for Clay's information to schedule them for upcoming weddings. They are incredibly talented - they were able to play most any song we talked to them about, and the full band played for four hours straight after two of them played during cocktail hour and four of them played during dinner. By the end it truly did feel like a concert at a wedding. I couldn't recommend them any more highly. Thanks Clay!

We can't recommend American Deluxe highly enough. This group was not only great during the planning process -- they were perfection during our ceremony, our cocktail hour, and our incredible reception. We felt like we had a real-life soundtrack to our most important and happy moments as they perfectly executed our processional and recessional. Then -- the reception. It was the best dance party we have ever been a part of. These are true musicians who can do whatever you ask of them -- but they can also be trusted to play the right mood and song at exactly the right time. Our guests were chanting "one more song!" at the end of the night -- and we were so sad to say goodbye. It was the most perfect day and night -- with huge thanks to Clay, KJ, and the whole band. Book them now -- don't miss out! Thanks again, you guys!!!
