Amazing does not even BEGIN to describe the outstanding job they did at our wedding! From initial planning phases to the actual day of the wedding they take so much time to cater and personalize their setlist and vibes to fit your wedding goals. On the actual wedding day they did an amazing job at setting the mood in every aspect from the ceremony to the reception. The main thing people have been talking about after our wedding is how amazing the band was and how great they were at hyping up the crowd! Highly recommend :)

Booking American Midnight for our Wedding at The Encore Boston Harbor was the Best Decision we made… The biggest take way from our wedding was how AWESOME the band was. They kept our guests on the dance floor, interacted with everyone & played the songs we wanted to hear. From start to finish, Nick was so detail oriented, helpful and responsive… always going above and beyond. It was obvious that he cared that everything was perfect for my wedding day. ❤️❤️ Thank you American Midnight! You made our Wedding one for the books! 🍾

Top tier musicians delivering the highest energy performance of any wedding band. Nick's planning details leading up to the wedding day are thorough and communicative. You won't find a better MC for the whole reception. The band's ability to perform special dances song requests live make American Midnight the absolute best group around.

We first saw American Midnight at a friends’ wedding and they were one of the first vendors we contacted when we got engaged and started planning our wedding. From our first meeting, we hit it off with Nick. Nick is an incredibly meticulous planner, a prompt and clear communicator, a great listener, fantastic hype man, and a great musician in addition to being an all-around pro. We had so much fun in our planning meetings, and it was an incredibly collaborative process and we appreciated that Nick shared his honest opinions and recommendations for what would work best. All I wanted was a great dance floor for the reception, and they did not disappoint. We were on the dance floor along with most of our guests for the whole night, and multiple guests told us they were blown away by the band and stayed on the dance floor the whole night because there were absolutely no skips in the setlist; their energy is unmatched and they are incredible at reading the room and leaning into the crowd’s energy. Someone even joked that they would have another wedding just so they could hire American Midnight! Our wedding was such a perfect night, and American Midnight was a huge contributing factor. We will miss our regular communication/meetings with Nick now that our wedding has happened, but have made priceless memories. We opted for all nine members and it was worth every penny. If you are any type of music lover or just want to have an epic party, you have to hire American Midnight!

American Midnight was the best band we could have asked for at our wedding. From the first meeting to the end of the night, Nick was incredibly easy and fun to work with and the whole band made our wedding that much for fun and seamless. They are talented musicians, full entertainers, and incredibly organized as a team. We were blown away with their professionalism, ability to assist in the flow of the night, their pre-planning and how much fun they had. Our guests were so upset when the night was over and the music stopped- they literally had to be pulled from the dance floor. If you’re looking for a great sounding and put together band, but also a partner in planning and executing your night- that’s American Midnight. Nick even helped bustle my dress IN BETWEEN his MCing the introductions.
Thank you to American Midnight for the dream wedding, can’t say enough good things

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!! The entire band truly MADE our wedding. Just days after our wedding, constant text messages flooding in saying how unbelievable the band was. If you don’t choose them to be apart of your special day, you are missing out BIG.

We are absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible experience American Midnight gave us on our wedding day. From our first meeting to the final note of the evening, it was clear that this band was not just a group of talented musicians but a dedicated team that truly cares about their craft and their clients.
Having attended numerous weddings and combed through many wedding bands for our own wedding, we've interacted our fair share of bands, and nothing has compared to the energy and enthusiasm that American Midnight brought to our celebration. The way they set the tone, engaged with the crowd and fed off the energy in the room was magical. Our guests were consistently gushing about how phenomenal the band was, and we couldn’t agree more!
Their performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. They created an energetic and lively atmosphere. Their ability to read the room and their versatility made the night even more special as they effortlessly brought all our friends and family together on the dance floor. American Midnight made it felt like a celebration not just for us but for everyone present, and the joy was palpable. They took the time to understand our vision, and they expertly tailored the setlist to fit our tastes, including personal touches that made the night feel uniquely ours.
However, beyond their obvious talent, and phenomenal performance, what truly stood out was their hard work, dedication and diligence throughout the entire process. Every meeting with Nick was filled with warmth and respect; they took our wishes seriously and were committed to making our dreams a reality. We initially thought our first choice for the wedding dance was impossible due to its fast tempo, which made selecting another song difficult. However, Nick effortlessly took the time to slow it down for us, ensuring we could dance to the song of our dreams. The level of care they demonstrated went above and beyond, ensuring we felt supported.
Lastly, it has felt like most wedding bands, are just that: wedding bands. With American Midnight however, Nick also took on the role of MC for our event, guiding us through the evening with charm, energy, and professionalism. He was so good in fact many of my relatives assumed he was a hired MC not with the band until he started rocking on stage. His engaging presence ensured everything flowed smoothly, from the speeches to the introductions and dances. He kept the energy high and the laughter coming, making sure our guests felt involved and entertained each step of the night.
We cannot recommend American Midnight highly enough. They made our wedding day an unforgettable experience filled with love, laughter, and music that resonated with all who attended. If you're looking for a band that is not only incredibly talented but also dedicated to making your special day magical, you found it! Thank you, American Midnight, for everything—you truly made our wedding day a dream come true!

Where to begin- best vendor we booked for our wedding hands down! If you want to feel like you’re at your own personalized concert at your wedding, book American Midnight! Nick is amazing, from the first meeting he made us feel comfortable, confident and walked us through every detail for our wedding plans. The band performed live acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour (amazing). Nick was by our side the whole day, working with our other vendors to keep things on track and making sure we had maximum fun. The band performed our first dance live which was so special. Needless to say we danced the night away. Nick took care of every detail and the event went off without a hitch. Our guests were still talking about how amazing the dance party was for days following our wedding! Thank you Nick and American Midnight for everything!!!!!

So lucky to have found this band! Nick and his team at American Midnight are so cool to work with. Nick brings great energy to meeting and planning a fun event day. For the wedding, he and his team supplied sound equipment for the ceremony (option for live musician), Cocktail hour and dinner. Nick is great to work with and has a lot of experience in helping set up the flow of the reception and the wedding day to provide some advice to how to help make decisions and plans. He and his team were more than audio professionals - they helped keep the evening "on track" and orchestrated the timing and choreography with other vendors / staff including the photographer, videographer and venue personnel. The American Midnight band plays the typical wedding bangers, but I think their energy as a band made it that much more fun. The guests at our wedding could not stop telling us how much fun the band was and how much they enjoyed them coming off the stage to interact and dance with the crowd. They had paperwork for us to make it easier for a nontraditional LGBT wedding. We had the full 9 piece band and they were worth every cent! We strongly recommend this group and would choose them again for another event with a band if I have the opportunity.
SO MUCH FUN!!!!! LOVE THEM! Would totally want to hang out with them and be their friends too.

We could not have had a better or more seamless experience with Nick and the rest of the amazing band! Their music and performance is phenomenal but they are also so fun to work with. The dance floor was absolutely packed the whole night!
My sister used them for her wedding 2 years ago and they were the first vendor we knew we needed to book. All the guests were so excited to see them again! They really leave a last impression. Book them- You will NOT be disappointed!!
Thank you American Midnight!! We love you guys!!!!

If you’re looking for the most energetic and fun band to get your crowd going, then you need American Midnight! We chose them after listening to them play in Boston over the winter and it was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding weekend. Nick and his bands energy and talent is unreal- we were obsessed with them from the moment we met them but we got so many compliments throughout the night and after our wedding about how incredible the band was. Nick is extremely attentive, engaging and listens to your requests. Everyone in the band is super talented, but they’re also so fun! They kept the crowd going all night with banger after banger until the party was unfortunately over. I cannot recommend Nick and his team enough- he coordinated the whole thing from ceremony to reception to speeches! All of our calls got us so excited for the big day and he was so helpful with recommendations and suggestions for our big day. I promise that If you choose American Midnight for your band, you will not be disappointed and your guests will be raving about them well after your wedding day!

BOOK THIS BAND.
Hands down the best money we spent on the wedding. My husband and I will genuinely miss our zoom meetings with Nick. Working with Nick and American Midnight was so easy. They encouraged us to use the music to add some personal touches to the ceremony and reception. We told them we wanted a rocking party, and boy did they deliver. We never left the dance floor. Our guests all commented on how excellent the band was. The pricing is great-you get music, audio, lighting for the entire event. We had live music during our cocktail hour as well. If you are on the fence about live music like I was, book this band. You will not regret it.

Best. Wedding Band. Ever.
Got married in September 2024 and we had the 8 piece band - TOTALLY worth it!!! The horns made the night.
Starting from the very beginning Nick was incredible. His positive attitude and infectious excitement made planning easy, fun, and less stressful. As a bride with a very clear vision, Nick totally grasped that and elevated it. He made recommendations to go with what we were aiming for, gave us his honest opinion, and surely did not lead us astray. Admittedly, some of his ideas were even better than my own!! He also was readily available to meet with me via zoom or phone call whenever I had a question pop up.
On the day of the wedding he took care of everything- he made sure we were taken care of as bride and groom, that we were relaxed, excited, and refreshed. He made sure all the guests who spoke knew exactly what to do. All the transitions were seamless.
We had a saxophone / guitar combo play at cocktail hour. It was elegant, dreamy, and amazing. The perfect touch.
The rest of the reception was undeniably incredible. The dance floor was packed all night, they played absolute bangers - not even being biased because it was my own wedding- but it was the best set list I have ever heard at a wedding, ever. Our 180 Guests from ages 15-94 were dancing to all the songs they played- not one bad song. And they even accommodated our groomsmen's special request.
All the band member are amazing at what they do, the instruments sound was incredible, vocals top notch. Everyone was kind, hyped for us, and the perfect amount of crowd interaction.
Following our wedding, everyone was raving over the band, the MC of the night, the set list, and how truly incredible they sounded. Many people told us they were the best band they had ever seen, wedding or not.
I would 100/10 recommend American Midnights to anyone in search of a wedding band— heck, I might throw another party just to have them come play again!!

We had the pleasure of working with American Midnight for our wedding in August 2024, and they exceeded every expectation. From our initial meetings, Nick stood out with his meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of wedding timelines and flow. He took comprehensive notes during our calls, offering valuable insights based on his extensive experience. Nick went beyond the basics, diving into our musical tastes to ensure the setlist was a reflection of us, even customizing edits for our first dance songs.
As the wedding day approached, their timely check-ins reassured us that everything was in order. On the day itself, American Midnight provided exceptional live and recorded music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Their role as MC was outstanding—they engaged the crowd, adjusted the set list on the fly, and truly read the room. The compliments from our guests were abundant, highlighting their impressive talent and energy.
What truly set American Midnight apart was their positive attitude throughout the planning process. In what can be a stressful time, their professionalism and upbeat demeanor made everything smoother and more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to make our special day unforgettable.

Best decision of our wedding! They played at a friend’s wedding and before they sang, we knew we needed to book them. We spent the whole night dancing and they sounded awesome. Done deal! We are so thankful we booked them for our wedding. They have great stage performance and energy. Nick was so helpful in the planning process to make sure all the details were covered and really helped to visualize the flow of activities throughout the night. He is very personable and we enjoyed working with him. The band had such great energy from the minute we stepped foot at our venue (even before guests arrived) and all throughout the night. They were our hype team when we were practicing our first dance, which left us feeling great as we prepared to perform in front of our guests. They really got the party started and interacted well with our guests. They sounded amazing and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had- and how tired they were the next day from dancing all night. :) We wish we could relive the night again! We booked the 6 piece band and highly recommend that you don’t wait to book too! Really can’t say enough good things about them, thanks American Midnight!!!!

American Midnight and Nick made our day so special. They played live music during our ceremony and absolutely crushed the reception. The dance floor was always packed. All our guests raved about the music. Would 10/10 recommend American Midnight for your wedding. They go above and beyond just the music. Nick helped us with our timelines and made sure we were on top of everything. They made the process easy and fun. Can’t recommend enough.

American Midnight was an absolutely fabulous addition to our wedding. I truly believe that they made the night as special as it was. They did far more than play music. They fostered special moments, they kept the energy high all night, and kept the night on track. Nick basically acted as a second event coordinator. They go above and beyond delivering not just a service, but creating memories, experiences, and special moments that are specific to you and what you want out of the wedding. Nick met with us 4 times leading up to the wedding - and offered many more - to figure out what kind of wedding we wanted. We told him we wanted everyone partying and dancing the whole time, and he absolutely delivered. We had a 60 person wedding - and I swear at least 50 people were on the dance floor all night. From Nick coming into the crowd to sing our favorite songs with us, performing on the spot adjustments to schedule and speeches, and to letting my parents, musicians themselves, join in on some of the performance, American Midnight went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. I can't recommend them enough. Nick will get to know you, and make your wedding exactly what you want it to be, far beyond the scope of running music all night. I want to thank him and the band for doing such an amazing job with our special day, and I sincerely recommend that you hire them for your wedding. I genuinely believe there is no other group of people that will work harder to make your day special.

HIRE THIS BAND! We booked American Midnight for our July wedding and could not be happier with our decision. The music at my wedding was the top priority for me and American Midnight truly surpassed my expectations.
All the band members are truly talented musicians. They were so fun and engaging - the dance floor was packed the entire night as I had hoped. I had so many guests, many being musicians themselves, come to tell us how great our band was and my family is still raving about my band choice every time I see them.
Nick is highly organized, communicative, and accommodating, ensuring a stress-free experience from start to finish. His responsiveness to my needs and preferences gave me much needed peace of mind during wedding planning and also on the day of the wedding.
Nick worked closely with me to curate a playlist that perfectly captured the vibe I envisioned. And on the day of, they seamlessly adapted to a last-minute change the venue sprung on us for where the band would play. The band handled it without adding any stress or worry on my end as the bride.
Don't settle for a boring, generic wedding band. HIRE American Midnight Band and they’ll make your wedding celebration unforgettable!

We recently hosted our wedding at the Boston Public Library (July 2024). Nick and the American Midnight team curated all of the music for our entire evening. We could not have asked for a better performance and outcome. From the very beginning, Nick guided us through all music selection along with the entire planning process. Nick brought an elevated level of enthusiasm and entertainment that made our evening so special. From the ceremony to the party, the outcome was flawless. The entire band didn’t miss a step and outperformed all expectations. The ability to play a variety of different music was incredibly impressive. The thoughtfulness of the songs coupled with the execution of the performance was unparalleled. Nick was amenable throughout the process in selection of music and furthermore provided great guidance to make the evening extra special. We have received so many positive reviews from our guests - it was truly a remarkable performance. We are so fortunate that we chose American Midnight for our event and would recommend 10/10 times for anyone looking for rockstar band.

If you want your wedding to be a night nobody never ever forgets, then American midnight is your band. They truly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire wedding planning process, and the wedding night itself was surely no exception. Nick was the best MC I’ve ever witnessed at a wedding, he kept the energy so high all night long. The band kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the night, and there was never a dull moment. All of our guests keep telling us how much fun our wedding was and that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I attribute a lot of that to Nick and his band. Thank you so much American midnight for a wedding that we will never forget, truly the best night of our life!!

American Midnight was amazing, I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding band. Not only was the music great but the band leader was very helpful in planning and coming up with ideas for the ceremony, acting almost like a day of coordinator/planner. The band leader also adds a lot of energy to the reception when doing things such as the wedding party entrances. They are very responsive to questions and easy to work with.

From the beginning of our planning, we knew we wanted a live band for our wedding. We also wanted a live band that would engage the crowd and capture their attention - fun yet professional with a great sound. American Midnight is that band. Nick, the band leader is a joy to work with because he kept the stressful planning process fun while also making sure that all of the details involved with planning your ceremony music (if desired), cocktail hour, and of course reception were covered. Also, we appreciated that he will meet with you as many times as needed to make sure that you are content with every component of your day! We trusted his judgement every step of the way, including adding the tone setter song after our first dance. If you're unsure - just do it because it really adds a unique touch and was a quick way to get everyone up and moving before the reception! American Midnight made sure that we had the most incredible night of our lives at every turn at the wedding. I also had this unique idea for me, my sister and mom to perform a surprise song along with American Midnight for my husband. The band was totally on board to accommodate this request and even had 3 microphones ready for me, my sister and mom when it was time to perform! So if you have any unique ideas to incorporate into your big day, American Midnight is your band. Thank you to Nick and all of the band members for being part of our big day. We also LOVE the reel video that you made for our wedding; thank you! That was another perk that we had no idea that they were creating until after. We didn't have a videographer so it was amazing to see the whole night wrapped up into a video! That in a nutshell shows how American Midnight goes above and beyond as a wedding band.

I can honestly say hiring American Midnight for our wedding was the best decision we could’ve made. The night totally exceeded my expectations. Their energy and variety got family members on the dancefloor that I've NEVER seen on the dancefloor at other weddings. American Midnight totally raised the bar for the level of fun that'll be expected at future family and friend weddings.
Aside from the actual wedding, Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with. I really appreciated that he took a collaborative approach to planning the night and was receptive to our opinions. You have to trust him on the tone setter - I’m so glad I did!
At the end of the night, my new husband said to me "this is the best wedding we've ever been to...how amazing is it that it's ours?" - THANK YOU American Midnight for creating such a memorable celebration for us.

Nick and American Midnight went above and beyond for our wedding. They brought outstanding energy night of and were a dream to work with in the lead up to our wedding. Nick is so much more than just a wedding singer, he helps you bring your wedding entertainment vision to life. For us that included a second line on top of the ceremony, cocktail hours and reception!
If we could do it all over again we would book American Midnight every single time.

You are getting so much more than an incredible band for your wedding in choosing American Midnight! Not only do they sound amazing and get the crowd going, but their impeccable planning leading up to your day makes everything less stressful and more enjoyable. They offer so much more than other wedding bands with Nick being the MC for the night and making sure your timeline goes on without any hiccups, for us this was priceless! They kept the dance floor full all night long and they even let our parents play with the band which was a massive hit! We got so many compliments that it was “the most fun wedding” people had been to. You will not regret choosing American Midnight! We cannot thank them enough!!

American midnight band is AMAZING! They outdid theirselves at our wedding. From the diligent planning process to final execution, Nick and his team single handedly made our day the best day ever! The dance floor was full all night and they even got people who we have never seen dancing up on the dance floor. From the mic’d up officiant to an acoustic cocktail hour to an amazing reception, this band seriously knows how to crush it! When searching for a band we did not know how lucky we would get to have them available for our date, we cannot recommend them enough and if they have availability you need to book them ASAP!

Book American Midnight now, while they’re still available, then finish reading this review! Nick and American Midnight were the very first vendor we booked and we couldn’t have made a better choice. Nick worked with us throughout the entire year-long planning process, knowing that we were largely planning our own wedding in a destination location, and scheduled several planning calls with us to make sure we were thinking through all angles of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. He’s a thorough, thoughtful professional and is an absolute joy to collaborate with. Not to mention, he’s an incredibly talented musician and emcee!
Nick and the band accommodated our wish to host a second line parade from our ceremony patio to our cocktail hour space, which meant his band members researched and practiced a completely new routine to incorporate into our wedding day, and they knocked it out of the park! If ours was the first second line Burlington ever witnessed, then the Queen City got a hell of an introduction.
Nick did a wonderful job emcee’ing our event from start to finish, even stepping up and improvising when an unexpected delay occurred at the start of our ceremony (we had to wait for the Ethan Allen cruise line to blow its horn when it launched just after 6 pm before we could begin, and the ship ran a few minutes late), to the effect that none of our guests noticed the delay.
Too many people to count have texted or told us in person that American Midnight was the best band they’ve ever seen play at a wedding. And they’re right! American Midnight played all the essential songs we requested of them and they read the room perfectly—they knew how to curate the right vibe to make sure the dance floor was packed the entire night.
Oh and on top of everything else, they put together a highlight reel of our entire wedding event for social media, the next day, so we immediately were able to relive the best moments and share them with our friends and family, while the memory was still fresh. Definitely check out their Instagram to see what a wonderful job they do putting together reels of the events they play.
Thanks again for everything—you guys are the best!

American Midnight Band is INCREDIBLE! Where do we even begin?? If you’re considering getting a band for your wedding, we HIGHLY recommend them! We knew we liked them after listening to some of their stuff online, but our first Zoom meeting with Nick sealed the deal. Nick’s energy and excitement were contagious. Our guests described him as the “ultimate hype man”! At the same time, he was very professional, organized, and transparent throughout the whole planning process. We were so happy we decided to go with the 8-piece band with the full brass section – they sounded awesome and really added to the energy level all night. Besides being incredibly talented musicians and entertainers, AMB stands out for their willingness to work with you to make your reception customized and special to you. Less than a month before our wedding, we decided we wanted to extend our reception by 30 minutes. AMB gave us an enthusiastic “yes” and still didn’t take a break the whole evening! When we wanted a keyboard/guitar duo for our cocktail hour, instead of two guitars, AMB said “you got it”! They even learned a song for us because it was one of my husband’s college friend group’s favorite songs; it was definitely one of the highlights of the night. We can’t forget to mention the lead female singer Carley – she and Nick truly know how to keep your dance floor packed all night long! They say a band or DJ can make or break your wedding reception – we are here to say (or yell from the rooftops) American Midnight Band MAKES your wedding reception! We loved them, our guests loved them, you’ll love them!

Where to begin with this group of amazing people! Nick and his crew of EXTREMELY talented musicians not only provided an EXCELLENT evening of show stopping entertainment with everyone on the dance floor from start to finish but went above and beyond from the moment we booked them! When the weather took a turn for the worst American Midnight stepped up to the plate and helped us coordinate and facilitate what otherwise would have been a disaster. If you’re on the fence about your entertainment look no further! American Midnight hit it out of the park and then some! Five stars is not enough stars!!!

American Midnight was the best decision we made for our wedding! The band was very communicative leading up to the wedding and was available to answer any and all questions. They kept the crowd extremely entertained and packed the dance floor all night long. We ran into issues with weather and received little support from the venue, but Nick and his band members stepped in and got the show on the road. They created organization in chaos and made sure my husband and I were happy and taken care of throughout the entire night. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Nick was a pleasure to work with during the planning process, from helping us pick songs, to helping with the day-of schedule. Also, the band was amazing! All our guests had a fantastic time. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire American Midnight to be part of our wedding!

I cannot say enough good things about American Midnight. My now husband and I knew that we wanted to hire a band for our wedding and that it was one of the most important things to us for our night. American Midnight seriously made the night incredible! Our guests would not stop talking about how amazing they were and how perfect the songs were that they played.
In addition to their amazing performance, Nick was by far the best vendor that we worked with throughout the planning process. He was extremely knowledgable about weddings and helped us craft the perfect night and experience for our guests. Nick put in a ton of time to make sure that our night went smoothly and was great about keeping in contact with us to make sure our night went as planned.
Hire them for your wedding now! You will not be disappointed.

American Midnight is a complete hidden gem. We can assure you that all of the reviews about them are 100% true. Nick is amazing to work with as he's super quick to respond, funny and also very knowledgeable about how to get a wedding started. The band is also phenomenal. Each member is extremely talented and sounded amazing the entire night. Our guests were completely blown away & kept asking where we found them. Again we can't say it enough, but they are truly are a hidden gem and you would be missing out if you didn't have them perform at your wedding!

Do yourself a favor and book this band for your wedding. Nick made a whole process fun and easy and they truly take care of everything start to finish and beyond. Every one of my guests was on the dance floor the entire night, it was amazing. They all said it was the best part of the whole day. My husband and I had the time of our lives, we can't thank this band enough. We love you guys!!!!!

When I got engaged 18 months ago I knew that there was going to be many decisions to make and picking American midnight was seriously THE best decision we made. After sampling bands on the knot for about 3 hours I decided to reach out to nick. All my vendors were amazing but something about nick really resonated with me. Nick truly made the wedding planning process so seamless. Planning a wedding is no easy feat but nick made it a little easier. He goes above and beyond for his couples. My husband and i were feeling so defeated during the planning process when my father in law became terminally ill. We met with nick and he really lifted our spirits so high and helped us get excited for a big day. The week before the wedding nick met with me for 3 hours ( for the 4th time) went through everything with me and even chatted with my family. I had a few unique touches I wanted to add to the day and nick helped execute them perfectly.As I type this I am laying in bed feeling so sad that the best day of my life has come to an end. Nick and the band made the wedding. When I say the dance floor was packed from beginning to end I'm not exaggerating. All of our guests have been raving about our special day and the first thing they say is how freakin awesome the band was. Nick- thank you so much for everything you did for Jack and I. I am so grateful that we crossed paths with you. You are a wonderful human being. I wish I could replay this night for the rest of my life but I'm going to have to see them at landsdowne to get my fix. American midnight is so fun and so talented. I promise hiring them will be the best decision that you make!

There was one thing in our wedding that really stood out for everyone who attended. It wasn't the venue, the food, the speeches (although maybe because they were especially good), no there is one thing everyone who attended absolutely raves about weeks later, and that was our band! Nick knows exactly what to play, when to play it, and man does American Midnight play well! Nick spent over 8 hours with us planning on calls to get each little detail perfect. He guided us through many of our hard to decide wedding decisions better than a wedding planner could have. I cannot stress enough how hiring this band will be the greatest decision you make regarding your wedding. It goes picking the right person to marry, picking American Midnight to play the wedding and Nick to MC, then the rest of all your wedding decisions. They are that good. You like oldies? they play em for your family. But wait till that last 30 mins of your wedding, they will bring out everything you and your friends listened too in high school and middle school. A swarm of nostalgia will hit you as you scream along to the greatest songs of our generation, and Jimmy Shreds away on guitar, Carly croons away at vocals and Nick makes sure that every last person on the dancefloor is having the time of their life. I don't know the last time I had as much fun as I did on my wedding night. And I'm not saying that because it was the best day of my life, but Nick and American Midnight were so exceptional, and so much fun, that like I said earlier everyone who came asked how to book them for their own weddings and told us it was the best band they have ever heard. This is a team of rockstars, the energy that Nick and his band brings is unrivaled, you won't see this much enthusiasm and love for what they do in other bands. If you are on the fence, just book them immediately. They will make your perfect day fun for everyone in attendance. If you like to plan every little detail, Nick will do that with you. If you like to let the band decide, they will decide and it will be the right decision always. They have experience both musically, and wedding wise. You can ask them questions and get answers that translate into a better experience for both you and your guests. I could continue raving for more that 3500 words but to put in summary what I liked the most about our band I'll mention 3 final things. Nick is the best MC and planner I have ever met in my life. The band has so much energy, its like they're playing on warped tour. Finally, I jumped and danced and sang and shouted so much that I tore my pants on the dance floor on my wedding night. So book American Midnight right now, and bring a sewing kit just in case. Thank you to everyone in the band, especially Nick for putting up with our crazy planning and making the best day of my night also the best party of my life, that I doubt will ever be topped.

When we started wedding planning my husband and I were both really set on making sure we had a top notch wedding band, it was a huge priority for us to be dancing the night away with our guests having an amazing time at the reception. Since the band was a priority for us we did a lot of research and had high expectations for what we wanted from our wedding band. Wedding planning can be stressful and expensive so we really wanted high quality results.
American midnight exceeded every single one of our high expectations for what our wedding band could possibly be. Nick is not only an amazing musician but he is also an incredible MC who had even people I never thought would dance dancing the night away. Nick and the band are also amazing problem solvers- it POURED on our wedding day and they made sure all the audio for our outdoors ceremony went off without any concerns. Nick also gives incredible wedding advice and is overall an amazing person that is so enjoyable to chat with throughout the time leading up to your big day. Carley, Marie, Dylan, Zach, Barry, and Jimmy are all equally as incredibly talented musicians and equally amazing human beings. Working with American midnight was hands down the highlight of our wedding planning experience.
After one conversation with the band you can tell they love what they do and they do it INCREDIBLY well. Our guests will not stop talking about how incredible the band was and how much fun Nick made the reception. Do not think twice, do not look further, book American midnight for your wedding as soon as you get engaged….you will not regret it! We surely did not and already want to renew our vows just to have them play again!

Hands down the BEST part of our wedding. We could not be more thrilled to have American Midnight be part of our day. From our initial meeting, all the way to our wedding day, Nick went out of his way to go above and beyond to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. We felt Nick truly cared about us as a couple and wanted to make sure the day was as special as it could be. American Midnight brought so much great energy to our wedding and had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. We are still getting comments about how amazing the band was and we truly could not recommend working with Nick and American Midnight more.

We really enjoyed American Midnight's performance at our recent wedding, as did our guests! We love their energy, which is very energetic and positive. Some of our guests commented that they wanted them to play at their future wedding too! Also, Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with in planning their performance - super pleasant, personable, and fun, and incredibly organized and on top of things.

So much more than a band!! From the very beginning, Nick made this process, so easy and so fun. We knew right away that they were going to bring such a fun vibe to our day, which is ultimately what we wanted on the day of our wedding. We were not disappointed. The whole band really was just as excited as we were, and provided such high energy for our guests. Not only did the band perform a fantastic set, but they also provided guidance the day of to make sure that the timeline ran smoothly. We could not have been happier with our choice in choosing American Midnight!! Not to mention, we have been receiving nonstop compliments from our guests about what a fun night it was but also how great the band was.

American midnight was the best decision we made for our wedding. Nick and the band are amazing. We met with Nick multiple times before the wedding and he helped guide us through every step of the ceremony and reception. We opted for the 9 piece ensemble (which you won't regret) and they kept the dance floor full the entire night. All of our guests raved about the band and they truly made it the perfect night for us.

Where to begin. Not only is American Midnight a fantastic band, but they are truly a pleasure to work with. They were flexible and really catered to what we wanted for our wedding band. We had a couple calls with them and Nick was on it from the jump. The process was very easy and was one of the most fun parts about our wedding planning. I'd highly recommend hiring them for your wedding. We received so many compliments about how good they were and everyone was dancing the entire night!

Nick and American Midnight were AMAZING! From the start of the planning process to the end of the wedding night, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nick spent hours with us leading up to the wedding to make sure every detail was perfect. In fact, he got to know us so well that multiple of our guests asked us how many years we'd known him for! And on the day of, Nick made sure the day went seamlessly, from beautiful acoustic music for our ceremony and cocktail hour to truly rocking out at the reception. Our dance floor was packed the entire time and the music selection was spot on and so. much. fun. The band even learned some new songs that had special meaning for us, they put together a little instagram video for us a few days after the wedding so that you can reminisce while you wait for pictures! We couldn't recommend this group more highly, and are so grateful they were part of our wedding day! The only problem is that we danced so hard, we were sore for our honeymoon :)

American Midnight was AMAZING for our wedding! Nick went above and beyond during the planning process to make sure we got all of our visions met. Everything was perfect on the day of the wedding - live acoustic music during the ceremony and cocktail hour, MC services throughout the whole day, and the unbelievable live band during the reception. The band knew exactly what our crowd wanted to hear and kept the party going all night. We can not recommend American Midnight enough!!

Nick and American Midnight were more than we ever could have imagined. Nick was extremely responsive and met with us many times during the wedding planning process. He is very experienced and a true expert! We were blown away by the talent of the band and also did not realize how awesome it was to have an MC run the event. He kept us on schedule and made sure the crowd was ready to party with us. Nick truly made our night unforgettable! Our guest have been raving about American Midnight and a few are hoping to use them for their own weddings! :)

They did a fantastic job of getting ALL of our guests up and involved and truly made it a night to remember.

I don’t even know where to begin. Nick and his amazing team/band were by far the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Nick was exceptional from the first phone conversation all the way to the last song they played. Our venue was difficult with allowing amplified music which was a HUGE let down for me and my fiancé. Nick stepped up to the bat for us and took time out of his busy week to set up a zoom call with the venue and advocate for amplified music. He was successful in convincing them (which has never been done before at our venue) and truly saved our wedding. Nick was so engaging and had the best energy all night. Him and his band members interacted with the crowd which was so special. Our guests were coming up to us ALL night telling us how amazing our band was and asking for their contact information. They had everyone of all ages up on the dance floor for the entire night. I wish I could give them 100 stars to this amazing group. I wouldn’t even think twice if I had to book another event with music and/or if I had to give someone a recommendation for wedding music. American Midnight truly made our wedding and was the highlight for us and all of our guests! If you are looking for an OUTSTANDING wedding experience, look no further.

Nick and the whole band were incredible and kept our guests dancing the whole night long! He ensured we had everything we wanted by taking the time to meet with us several times before the wedding and getting to know us as a couple! We could not have better things to say about American Midnight, they truly made our wedding amazing! Every guest commented how wonderful they were and we could not agree more!
