utiful emotions of wedding ceremony processional music and the festivities of a cocktail hour. His song list is extensive including classics and contemporary music of various beats. He also learned several songs for our setlist to personally cater to our big day and was prepared with microphones for his performance. Finally, throughout the wedding planning process and on the wedding day he was extremely personable, professional, and easy to work with. We could not have been more thrilled with how the day turned out and would highly recommend others to utilize him for your wedding day!

found Anthony. His voice, style and entire package was exactly what I was looking for and I will be forever grateful that he was a part of the most special day of my life and truly made it perfect. I remember just stopping and taking a moment during my wedding reception to just watch and listen to his performance and felt so incredibly lucky that he was singing at my wedding. His piano and guitar skills are incredible and his voice is beautiful. He is so incredibly talented. All night, my guests kept coming up to me to tell me how amazing he was and I felt so proud that everyone could enjoy the experience. Working with Anthony was so easy and positive. Planning a wedding is so stressful but Anthony being so accommodating, patient, helpful, attentive and calming made it much less stressful for me. Anthony is not only amazing and talented but he is a kind and genuine person and working with him was an absolutely wonderful experience. You can tell he puts his heart into his work and cares about the people he is working with. I will be forever grateful for him making my wedding absolutely perfect. Anthony, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

joyed talking with him for every single one of our meetings. He is so down to earth and easy to talk to. Anthony was flexible with what we wanted, and handled everything flawlessly. We paid other vendors thousands of dollars, and to be honest, Anthony was the best vendor we worked with. Not to mention his beautiful singing voice. He made our ceremony perfect!! Can't thank him enough.
Anthony Cubbage was all the talk at our wedding, from playing music for when guest arrived, playing music as we all walked down the aisle and playing music for our outdoor cocktail...
hour. He added an element to our wedding that we will always remember. His ability to truly learn and play any genre of music is a gift! When asking for suggestions on music for certain parts of the wedding, he delivered in a big way! The ladies bridal party walked down to an acoustic version of girls just wanna have fun. My father and I walked down to sweet child of mine (a hit my dad loves and will forever cherish now) and my now husband and I walked down to I go blind by hootie. Many of our guest complimented the music choices and the talent of Anthony during our night. Hands down I would highly recommend Anthony for a wedding, and really any occasion. Throughout the entire planning process, and laying out our vision Anthony was great to work with and communicated very well!

Anthony Cubbage and his bands

rfect set list. They were all so nice and easy to talk to. Throughout our entire preparation process, Anthony was very responsive and was easily available to chat whenever we needed to. Anthony and his band even went out of their way to learn songs on their break that our guests were requesting, and they played them perfectly. Their style and twist on covering songs we requested made for such a unique, danceable and great time! They really understood how to set different moods throughout the night. We definitely recommend Anthony Cubbage and his band for your wedding. We are extremely happy with the memories Anthony and his band helped us create!
If you're looking to add something truly unique, emotional and memorable to your wedding day, look no further. Anthony is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever heard, and ...
his ability to feel, empathize, and tell stories comes together in perfect harmony through his music. It's not often you find somebody who has all the components to take a musician from great to one of a kind, but Anthony is absolutely that person. I wrote my vows and shared my first dance to a song that he wrote for me and my wife. We eloped on the black sand beach of Iceland, and brought a portable speaker so we could have this dance. Have you ever heard a song at the perfect moment and it feels like it could be included in the soundtrack to your life? Anthony will write that song for you, to pair with one of the most incredible moments of your life, and each time you listen to it again or it comes on shuffle, it'll take you right back to the moments you hold dear like an intimate journal entry only you and your spouse could ever truly feel. If you're even on the fence, don't hesitate to reach out. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Anthony is not only such a talented musician but is also a genuinely wonderful and kind person! He is so easy to work with and made our dreams come true with our first dance song. ...
He also kept our guests entertained with some beautiful music while they waited for the ceremony to start. His voice is amazing and will adjust to whatever you’re looking for. I highly recommend him to play at your next big event!! You won’t be disappointed
