Adam and the Around Town Band were simply THE BEST! From the moment I had my initial call with Adam, I knew there was no other option. Adam answered all my questions and truly left no stone unturned. He and his team are the epitome of professional and their talent is unmatched. Every single guest at my wedding approached my husband and I to ask "where did you find this band?!" They are able to play a wide range of musical selections - everything from disco, to latin to 80's to top 40. Your wedding or event will be monumentally better when you hire Around Town Entertainment. I can't thank Adam and the band enough for making our winter wedding everything we imagined.

Around Town was amazing! We booked the A List Band, and received rave reviews from all of our family and friends! Many people requested their contact information after our wedding. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and they absolutely matched the mood of our crowd. We told Adam when we were booking that we wanted a FUN party, and Around Town absolutely made that happen.
The music was one of the most important decisions for us, and we booked Around Town for a few reasons. Adam was incredibly communicative and easy to work with right away. He answered all of our questions and was always available. Around Town also had no limit to the number of songs they would learn for our "special moments" including first dance, mother/son dance, father/daughter dance and introduction, and we liked that flexibility. Adam also assured us that the videos on their website were unedited, live music so we could really see how the bands sounded, but I have to say they were even better in person.
They also provided a pianist for the ceremony and a jazz trio for cocktail hour. The pianist also learned all of the songs we requested for the ceremony with no restrictions. Their music catalog was extensive and they truly kept the party going all night!

My husband and I got married on November 9th, 2024 to the glorious backdrop of the music of the Around Town Band. It was clear from our first conversation with Adam that he cares deeply about the whole guest and wedding experience. His musicians arrive early to play music while guests arrive, during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and of course the reception. He doesn’t piecemeal these hours because he sees the whole experience as one package – and it showed.
Working with Adam and his team members Gaby and Rachel was a breeze from the beginning. There was a clear run of show and they made the process of picking songs fun and easy. Ultimately, we let them run with it and respond to the crowd and they NAILED it. Their vocal talent was unbelievable – the RANGE! People kept coming up to me during the wedding and just saying “the BAND!!”. They played intergenerational music, 90s throwbacks, R&B, current pop, it was insane. I definitely recommend adding the horn section – they stole the show! Adam was also so gracious and didn’t mind when I approached him with a question or song request during the event. A huge thank you to the Around Town band for being a part of our special day!

Our wedding was in September 2024. We had a VERY diverse crowd and we wanted different types of music to be played. Aroundtown accomplished this splendidly - Adam as the MC kept the show going and him and his team gave their all in talent to give the best performances keeping our eclectic crowd on the dance floor all night. They kept to our intricate timeline making sure our most special moments are done exactly as requested. Their lead female singer has the voice of a diva! As requested they included our favorite Spanish songs too and fulfilled our request by learning and singing a lesser-known oldies European hit at our most touching moment! Would definitely highly recommend if you want a truly talented, high-class live event! Our guests were very impressed!

The After Party Band performed at our wedding and kept the dance floor full all night long! Around Town came highly recommended to us from others who had them at their wedding and from the first call we had with Adam we understood why - they are transparent, organized, easy to work with and patient with answering all of our questions. The band itself was incredible - from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the wedding - there's so much talent and they really made our wedding unforgettable. We still have people telling us how amazing the band was and we agree!

We couldn't be happier with Around Town! They truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and easy to work with, making us feel comfortable and confident in their hands. Their energy was unmatched, and they brought such a fun, interactive vibe to the entire evening. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how fantastic they were and how much they enjoyed the music.
Not only were they talented musicians, but they also knew how to read the crowd and keep the dance floor packed. They played all of our favorite songs, mixing in classic hits and new tunes to keep everyone of all ages dancing. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your event with great music, genuine friendliness, and amazing interaction, this is the one! Thank you so much for making our wedding celebration so special!

Adam and the team at Around Town Entertainment were just the absolute best through the entire process as we booked a band for our wedding at Bonnet Island Estate. My wife and I both felt like the team at Around Town Entertainment were extremely professional, detail oriented, fun and extremely talented. The music catalog was extensive and our guest all continue to rave about how good Around Town Entertainment was. We can't recommend them highly enough for your next event, and can't thank them enough for really just being such an amazing presence on our big day.

Amazing experience with Around Town Entertainment. They did an excellent job at balancing the songs that we requested while also making sure they played tracks that catered to the guests. There was never a stoppage in music as they would rotate in and out of breaks which allowed the party to go all night long. Would highly recommend for a professional, fun, and talented group.

Around Town was the band for our wedding and they were spectacular! Easily one of the most complimented vendors by our guests. The music was excellent, the MC did exactly what we wanted and was incredibly attentive and made sure we were on the same page. The jazz cocktail trio and ceremony music were wonderful! I thought they had very fair pricing for wedding bands in New Jersey (which is really hard to find). They were fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough! I also really appreciate that their Instagram has tons of live videos from events that they perform at, which made the decision to choose them even easier!

Working with Gaby and the band Altitude for Casey and Wes's wedding at City Winery Hudson Valley was such a pleasure. They were extremely responsive during the planning process and got everything I needed (like COI's and team counts) in such a timely manner.
On wedding day they were a dream. Not only did the guests and couple love the music but we were confident in knowing they knew the timeline and didn't need us to follow up a ton during the day, which from a planner is amazing when we have one less moving part to worry about. They provided a great energy and I cannot reccomend them enough.

Around Town Entertainment kept the dance floor rocking all night! They were a pleasure to work with in the planning stages and during the wedding. From a coordinator's perspective, Gaby and Adam made my job so much easier - communicating details and confirming any last minute changes was a breeze. The band sounded phenomenal and kept the energy up from the first down beat to the last song. I will absolutely be recommending Around Town to my future couples!!

As a Wedding Coordinator you always want the best for your clients and ensure everything runs smooth and stress free. You want clear and open communication with all vendors so we work as a team to create the best day ever for our clients. There are always certain vendors that I immediately get a sense of relief when seeing their name on a client's wedding vendor list.
Around Town is one of them! It is always such a pleasant experience working with them. They are so easy to communicate with before and during the event. I know everything is going to go so smooth and it's going to be a great party filled with so much energy! Dance floor is always packed! Every member performing brings such talent, professionalism, and energy, that is so infectious! Look no further when than Around Town for all of your event entertainment needs!

When looking for a band we started by googling vendors and watching videos on youtube. Nothing can compare to experiencing a band live. We were at a friends wedding, Rachel and Ziv, and had a blast. Dancing the night away and noticed the dance floor was always filled all night. We wanted the same experience for our wedding and took their business card. We made an appointment with Adam and spoke to him over the phone. We told him our vision of the type of music- Motown and modern and he totally got what we were going for. ATE gave us some lists to fill out that they followed up on and made us feel very supported as we made our song selection choices. We wanted our Rabbi to sing during the ceremony and they made that dream
come true by accompanying her on guitar. If you want a band that will keep you guests on the dancefloor all night then look no further, this is the band for you. They were so fun, the hours flew by and at the end of the night, around midnight, there were still guests dancing and hyped
from the band. Our specific band was Authority Band but we were told all the bands perform at the same level. We also want to mention that this was a Jewish lgbt wedding and the band not only knew all the classic required jewish wedding songs but never made us feel like a gay wedding was out of the norm. We HIGHLY recommend Around Town Entertainment for your next event!

The Authority Band from Around Town played at our wedding in August 2024 and the nine piece band was truly amazing.
Working with Around Town Entertainment was so easy and they were very professional. They streamlined our song selections by providing a repertoire list to see our musical interests and learned songs that we requested. They absolutely nailed our first dance song and songs for our parent first dances. They worked great with our venue in terms of timing and keeping our speeches and timing on track. They were so detailed and upfront with their requests and also willing to work with us on any of ours.
Based on the song repertoire and their ability to read the dance floor, our dance floor was packed the entire night. The band did not take any breaks, which is very impressive. They had people playing the entire night, an iPod was never hooked up. We received so many compliments from our guests about the band and they were all well deserved.
The jazz trio at our cocktail hour was a great addition to our event.
We would highly recommend the Around Town Entertainment group and the Authority Band to any couples getting married.

This band was absolutely fantastic! They really were everything we could have wanted from a wedding band. We had them play custom processional / recessional songs at our ceremony, some music during cocktail hour, our custom first dance song, and of course play during the reception. Their song selection was on point and it was so much fun when they played our special requests.
The band lead was a fantastic emcee throughout the night and helped guide us through the night. We had an afterparty and the band lead was kind enough to help our friend set up his iphone to DJ after they were gone. You don't realize how stressful the day of the wedding can be and how nice it is to not worry worry at all at the band!
Also, all of the "named" bands were already taken on our date, so we actually hired the band that was comprised from various members of all the named bands. We definitely didn't feel like the quality was affected at all by this!

We absolutely loved our experience working with Around Town! Everything was very seamless and easy for us as a super busy couple planning all the details of our wedding. The Altitude band was amazing!!! Our guests really enjoyed them and we couldn’t have been happier with their performance and preparing the songs for each of our special moments during the reception. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know getting married!

We are still on cloud nine after our incredible wedding experience with Around Town Entertainment's band, Authority! This 7-piece band, featuring three talented vocalists, a drummer, piano, and guitar, truly brought our party to life.
From the start, they worked with us to understand our musical tastes and preferences, and on the night of the event, they expertly read the crowd, selecting the perfect songs to match the energy in the room. We loved that they didn't have a setlist, instead drawing from a vast compendium of songs to create an unforgettable experience.
The band's versatility and talent were on full display, with epic drum solos, amazing vocalists, and a repertoire that included all the latest pop songs. They even learned specific songs for us, including our first dance song, which they performed live in the style we requested.
Adam and the team at Around Town Entertainment were a pleasure to work with - very easy to communicate with, well-organized, and clearly experienced in their craft. The seamless setup, cocktail hour music, and reception jam session all contributed to a stress-free and unforgettable evening.
The feedback from our guests was unanimous: Authority is an incredible band that knows how to get a party started and keep it going all night long. We can't recommend Around Town Entertainment enough - you will be in good hands with Adam and his team!

I've had the pleasure of working with the Around The Town team on several weddings and it is always a great experience. Most recently I worked with Gaby to plan the entertainment for a wedding at Dobbin St in Brooklyn, NY. She was always quick to reply to any of my questions and addressed concerns swiftly with thoughtful solutions. Working with a multi-piece band has a lot of moving parts but the Around The Town team was consistently organized and made it a seamless process. On the day all the musicians were prompt, friendly and enthusiastic. The band leader made sure to check in with me multiple times throughout the night to ensure we were on schedule and things were going well. She had great command over the band and flow of the evening, not to mention her voice was INCREDIBLE! The quality of the vocalists and musicians is stellar. I'm always blown away by the talent that performs at all their weddings. Highly recommend!

We hired the A-List Band from Around Town Entertainment for an adult milestone birthday party. They were terrific! They sound even better live than they do in the clips on the web, and knew exactly how to work the crowd. The band leader was very responsive to our every request. Adam, Gaby and Rachel from the business side made the hiring experience easy. We also used a trio from the band for jazz for our cocktail hour, and they sounded wonderful as well.
We could not recommend them more highly.

Around Town was amazing to work with! We hired the "After Party" band for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with our choice. They kept the dance floor full all night long and perfectly adapted the setlist to what people were enjoying. Everyone has been raving about how amazing our band was! They were also extremely accommodating to all of our requests — I come from a very musical family and wanted to have a few special guests sing songs (including me, the bride) and they couldn't have been more professional and easy to jump in with!

Good music at a wedding is SO important & Around Town Entertainment made my entire night/life! I didn’t leave the dance floor all night, they were INCREDIBLE. Every song was better than the last (if that was even possible). The only time they stopped the music was during speeches, to keep the party going. Your wedding reception is really only a few hours, so having nonstop music that goes with the flow of the evening made the night that much better and really elevated the event. Adam and his team were a pleasure to work with. They answered all our questions and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision to hire them for our wedding day!

We booked Around Town for our daughter's NYC wedding and were absolutely thrilled with them. From my first phone call with Adam, I knew we were in great hands. The band members you select are the band members who perform at your wedding- no surprise changeups. Their communication process was organized and easy...I received a prompt response every time I had a question. We requested a Springsteen song and their rendition of Born to Run was fantastic. Our guests danced all night! Many of them told us afterward that it was the best wedding band they have ever heard! We also had their jazz trio perform during Cocktail Hour and the music was just perfect for that as well. Highly recommend this band!

Hands down best decision we made!! We used Around Town for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and they were AMAZING. The ceremony musician learned every song we needed and made them so dreamy and perfect and the band REALLY set the mood for the party at the reception. It was so awesome to hear their talent but also see how they adjusted to the crowd. They played the music we wanted but also music to keep the crowd going. All of our guests till cannot stop talking about them. We really appreciated how they make it a point to not take breaks in their set, they will rotate who eats or takes a breather but will never just step away and have some random recording play.

We had such a great experience working with Around Town Entertainment. We had the After Party Band for our wedding and they were incredible. From the very first note you could tell how talented they were, and they had our guests dancing through the last song of the night. For weeks after our wedding, all we heard were comments from our family and friends about how good the band was, some even requested their card to hire them for future events. They were definitely one of the highlights of the night. There’s a reason you can only find 5 start reviews for Around Town.
Adam was so easy to work with and was astonishingly responsive. He was prompt with his emails and thorough in his responses to all our questions. He had everything covered and we felt comfortable that we were in good hands from the onset. The intake form is extensive and they do an amazing job nailing your vibe. We were able to guide them with some of our favorite songs and artists, our preferred song list, and the ‘do not plays,’ and the night of our wedding they curated the perfect playlist and hit exactly the vibe we were looking for. They even allowed for family members to join them for a special family tradition sing-along towards the end of the night! We couldn’t be happier with the music for our big day.
Our first dance and parent dances were unforgettable due to the band’s beautiful renditions of the special songs we requested and they did a great job at cutting down the length of the songs just slightly to make us most comfortable during those big moments.
The After Party Band was prompt, professional, and flexible. They worked around some schedule changes and were polite and accommodating throughout the night. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best music and the best time at their wedding.

The BEST decision we could've made for our wedding was working with the Around Town Band.
We saw them perform at another wedding before ours and immediately knew we needed them to perform at ours. The energy they bring to the night is electric - they know how to feel out whats working with your guests and how to keep people on the dance floor. We have NEVER seen as many people dance during a wedding as we did ours all because of the Around Town Band. We give them 1000/10 stars, we would book them in a heartbeat again if we could!

Around Town was one of the absolute best highlights of our wedding! Not just the day of but leading up to our wedding, Adam & Gaby were wonderful to work with. The dance floor was packed all night and people are still talking weeks later about how incredible the band was. They went above and beyond to perform custom lyrics to songs and ensure every aspect of our wedding went smoothly. We were initially put in touch with Around Town by our friends who were planning their wedding right before ours. Let this review be the nudge you need to reach out, because once you do you won’t look back and will have the BEST band!

Could not recommend Around Town enough!! They were INCREDIBLE at our wedding & working with them was so easy. Leading up to our wedding we worked with Adam & Gaby and they were professional, responded to emails quickly, and made the whole planning process extremely easy & organized.
The music was AMAZING at our reception, all of our guests were up dancing and loving the band. We received SO MANY compliments on how fabulous the band was during the reception and have continued to hear from guests about it since the wedding.
For the mother/son dance, the band learned custom lyrics to a song requested by the mother of the groom. The way they played the song was absolutely beautiful.
We also booked a DJ through Around Town for our after party, and it was a JAM!
If you want to have the BEST music at your wedding, work with professional people and have a super easy planning process, book Around Town!!

The Authority Band from Around Town Entertainment MADE our wedding. From our initial phone call with Adam, we knew we had to work with him based on his responsiveness and professionalism. This stellar communication was present throughout the entire wedding planning process, and everything from song selection to day of was seamless.
The Authority Band was FANTASTIC and our guests were on their feet all night long. They played the perfect mixture of 70s/80s tunes & contemporary pop hits so that the entire party could enjoy and dance the night away (many of our guests had to physically take off their shoes because they were dancing so much). The band members went above and beyond, from learning the first dance song my mom sang, to finding me on the dance floor before my dad's favorite song was being performed so that he could enjoy. Our guests cannot stop talking about our band and we are SO glad we had the Authority Band during our special day — everything from the ceremony acoustic guitar, to the jazz trio, to our 8 piece band was perfection.
The TriState area is saturated with good bands, but this one will stand out based on its seasoned sound and professional work ethic. Once you speak to Adam, you'll trust him and know that you will be in excellent hands. A band can make or break a wedding, but know that you'll have already made the best decision once you choose this vendor! I could not recommend more highly.

We initially booked with Around Town because Adam & Gaby were so responsive and professional, but we were absolutely blown away by the Authority Band. They accommodated some of our specific requests (helped accompany my sister singing at the ceremony), as well as totally understood the musical vibe we were going for the reception. Guests from every generation there left sweaty and smiling from the amazing setlist they put together. I loved that they had a broad repertoire (they played David Bowie, Madonna, Blink182, Jackson5, Harry Styles, and Robyn in the same night). I would book this band 100x again and they made our wedding perfect!

Around Town was exceptional for our wedding from start to finish.
Working with them was easy and effortless - they were prompt to answer questions, provide recommendations, and adapt to our needs for the ceremony and reception. Adam was available to speak directly on the phone with us multiple times, or answer emails promptly, as we prepared and modified our schedule for the wedding day. He was always polite, flexible, and provided his expert opinion on how to make the day as smooth and successful as possible. His advice, based on his extensive experience in the industry, was essential and elevated the wedding for us and our guests. We could not have asked for a more organized and professional band for our wedding.
The band's performance during the wedding was perfect - first, we were able to add ceremony musicians who learned songs at our request and performed outdoors on a day's notice. They performed beautifully and made the ceremony unforgettable for us and the guests. Next, they provided the soundtrack to cocktail hour as the guests mingled and the band knew exactly the right tone and energy to kick off the night. After the cocktail hour, they MC'd the announcement of the wedding party flawlessly while performing our requested song that elevated the energy and got everyone on their feet. For the reception, they learned multiple songs at our request, adapted to the flow and energy of the night, and performed at the highest level. They kept the night moving at a great pace while finding the right opportunity for speeches and special dances. Of all of the components of our wedding, I can honestly say the guests complimented the band more than anything else. As we mingled with our friends and family, we were met with "this band is incredible!" countless times throughout the night, and in fact months later Around Town Band still comes up in conversation with our friends. We give our highest possible recommendation!

The Around Town Band made our wedding so very special! Our guests were raving about how amazing, talented, and fun the band was! I studied music, specifically voice, for many years. That being said, it was really important to me to find great vocalists for our wedding, which other bands were lacking. The Around Town Band delivered exactly what I was looking with stunning vocalists and all-around talented musicians. Thank you for making our 10/23/23 wedding night a truly unforgettable experience for the two of us plus all our friends and family.

The BEST wedding band we have ever heard!!! My husband and I have been to A LOT of weddings and without a doubt, Around Town was the best live music we have ever heard at a wedding. Music was the most important thing to us as our family and friends love to dance and party, and we couldn't have been happier. Our dance floor was packed the entire night playing songs that all generations loved. The next morning, we had numerous people tell us it was the best band they have ever heard and already had 3 engaged friends reach out for their contact info (we had the 12-piece Altitude band, but I feel like you can't go wrong with any of their bands!). Adam is who you book through and he couldn't have made the process easier...I swear he is always working and available to help answer questions! They were so lovely to work with that we ended up booking Around Town for our welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour, and a dj for our after party. We were impressed with them every step of the way and are urging all of our friends to book them so we can enjoy them as guests!

From booking to wedding day; entire process working with Adam was so easy and seamless - he gave us great guidance on our ceremony, cocktail and reception selections and helped us feel so confident in their ability to work with our venue and walk us through the day's timeline. We ended up using violin and piano for our ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail and full band with an added horn section and it was AMAZING - so worth it!
Our guests are still raving about the band and people came up to us during the wedding and called us after to ask how we found them-- they were so impressive!
I was most nervous about music because we have such a varied musical taste and they delivered above and beyond! Everything from house music to R&B and classic hits. Our first dance was a Lauryn Hill R&B inspired cover and I am still stunned at the amazing performance they put on. They learned every song we requested, read the crowd and kept the party going all night long. Truly just such amazingly talented musicians and wonderful to work with.

Our wedding was the absolute best day of our lives and Around Town most definitely played a part in that!
From the very start, we knew we were working with a well-oiled machine. Adam was extremely communicative often replying to our emails within a matter of minutes.
We appreciated the fact that he made us feel extremely confident in our musician selection and always steered us towards what was best for our wedding, never towards the more expensive option. He assured us that a 7-person band would rock out just as much as a 12-person band and boy was he right!
Our guests raved about the band the entire night and following days. The team on-site was extremely kind, easy to work with, and SO MUCH FUN. The vocalists were AMAZING and the musicians were SO talented. Our guests were so impressed by the fact that the music was non-stop.
Around Town did such an amazing job curating a set lists based on our selections and got the party going in no time. Our dance floor was packed the entire night which is just what we wanted.
Our ceremony and cocktail hour music was absolutely perfect and we were so glad to be able to knock out all our musical needs with the same company.
Do not hesitate to book Around Town - they are the real deal. So professional, so fun, and SO talented!! Thank you Adam and team - you helped make this the best day of our lives.

Working with Around Town Entertainment was an absolute dream! They made the process so easy and seamless, and were so communicative during the booking/planning process. We specifically booked The Authority Band, and they absolutely blew us away with their incredible performance. We booked the 9 piece band and added on a saxophone and trumpet - which added a fun and dynamic element to the sound. They nailed our first dance song, and the additional songs we had requested they learn. Based on our musical preferences, they curated a reception that had the exact vibe we were going for. Our dance floor was full the entire night, and they read the energy of the room perfectly. Our guests are still raving about the band, and they were all so incredibly impressed that they never took a break! From the minute we walked in until the reception ended, they were bringing the energy and enthusiasm we had hoped for. Do not hesitate to book!

Adam, Gaby, and the rest of ATE was so great to work with! Super responsive and helpful, and Altitude Band was a major, major hit at our wedding! Our guests couldn't get enough of the music, and the whole team was so nice. Highly recommend.

Authority Band rocked the house on our wedding day!! We actually saw them at a friend’s wedding a year prior; we loved their energy and booked them right away! On our big day, no one could stop dancing to this talented and dedicated group of musicians. They were even able to perform some of the more obscure songs that we selected for our first dance, the mother-son dance, and the father-daughter dance. Couldn’t recommend more!!

We could not have been happier that we hired the After Party Band for our wedding! Having good music at our reception was high on our priority list, and we spent a long time researching potential bands. While we saw many positive reviews of the After Party and Around Town Entertainment online, we weren’t able to find many recent videos of them performing but decided to hire them anyway for our summer Catskills wedding. We were absolutely blown away by After Party! One of the reasons we wanted to hire a band versus DJ was because of the energy live music brings, and it was important to us that our reception be upbeat. When providing the final info requested to ATE before our wedding, we asked that the band play minimal slow songs and also indicated some song preferences on their song list. We could not have been happier with After Party’s execution. Not only is each band member unbelievably talented, but they have incredible stage presence and an infectious energy that had people up out of their seats and dancing all night. The music they played really reflected what we were going for while also being organic. Numerous guests have said the band was the best they’ve seen at a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more! We can’t recommend the After Party Band enough!

Best wedding band ever. We and all of our guests were blown away by the range and talent - everything was perfect. We cannot recommend them enough - everything from start to finish was perfect and you can tell Around Town really cares about making the experience amazing and reflective of our musical tastes. Would give 10 stars if we could!!

We were completely blown away with how amazing Around Town Authority Band was. They took our music suggestions and kept the energy alive the entire night not only without breaks but also by impressively transitioning one song to another. Our guests literally had to pick up their jaws from the floor because they were so in awe of the band. There was a portion of our dance party where our guests all faced the band and cheered. They received a standing ovation and it was truly the best night, not only because we got married but also everyone kept talking about the band the entire night. We are impressed and will recommend this band to everyone. Best investment. Also, we have family that celebrates Jewish traditions such as the Horah and Latin traditions with Salsa music. We originally chose this band because they could sing in Spanish and do the Horah and pop music and oldies. They could do it all and I fall asleep thinking about how great the band was. 1000000 out of 10.

Music was high on our list of priorities for our wedding and Around Town was the best investment we could make! We booked super early because I wanted to make sure we got who we wanted in terms of availability and Adam (and team) were so organized and in contact with us throughout 1+ year of communication. Checkpoints were clear and they were always quickly able to answer any questions we had. Not to mention how amazing (and professional) everyone was day-of. We feel so lucky to stumble upon this talented group and can't recommend them enough. From the jazz trio during cocktail hour to the 7+ piece band for our reception they sure were worth every penny. We have a lifetime of memories dancing the night away and would do it all again if we could! Xo

We cannot possibly say enough good things about Around Town Entertainment. We hired them for our wedding in July and had the best night of our lives! We researched many bands until we found Around Town Entertainment. Once we had a telephone conversation with Adam, we were certain we were making the right decision. The band played the entire night without taking any breaks! We have a family full of musicians so we are really picky and we could not have been more impressed. They had every single person dancing. There was really something for everyone. We highly highly recommend this band, videos and audio recordings don't even do them justice. 100000 out of 10! Thank you all again!

“that band was AMAZINGGGGGG” was the theme of brunch the next day!! Around Town absolutely nailed the vibe of our dance floor, and we all couldn’t get enough! They were extremely professional, fun, and excellent with the schedule of the night. The planning behind the scenes was seamless and perfectly executed the day off! All of the members were extremely kind and exuded wonderful energy. This group of wonderful musicians are so talented and being so much joy to all those in their presence. Truly, our guests were blown away with the performance and still are reaching out to let us know and find out who our band was! They exceeded our expectations and contributed to the absolute perfect night. Communication was prompt, performance was impeccable, and entertainment was exceedingly a good time!! You got guests that like to dance? You won’t regret booking them, no one left the dance floor all night!!! Truly Around Town gave us memories of a lifetime, and I would use them over and over again. From behind the scenes to day off, absolutely a delight to have working with us on our wedding day to have the best day of our lives.

We love Around Town and the Altitude Band! The band was incredible and brought the house down at every step... ceremony music brought us to tears, cocktail hour music was lovely, and the dance floor was packed and bumping from the moment the reception began. We have heard from multiple people that Around Town was the best wedding band they’d ever seen.. it’s been the first thing that everyone has said to us about our wedding! Truly can’t thank Around Town enough for being wonderful to work with and for making our wedding what it was.

We truly can’t express how grateful we are for the AMAZING performance Around Town put on for our wedding night. Everyone and we mean EVERYONE was dancing all night long. So many of our guests reached out to us after the wedding and said how incredible they were. Their voices were so powerful and they read the room so well. They brought the energy. My husband and I even teared up during dinner listening to the solo performance/guitarist. Our band was The After Party Band. It was an unforgettable night all thanks to our band!

We loved having Around Town play at our wedding! They were super professional and easy to communicate with before the day, often responding within an hour to questions. At the event they sounded amazing and had such fun energy, we had people coming up to us all night to compliment us on the music.

We loved this band. The singers were amazing and the band leader helped us go through the evening's events seamlessly. Everyone kept saying, "This band is great!!!!" They were very professional, talented, and knew just the right songs to play from Journey to Temptations, Earth Wind and Fire to Bruno Mars. The one singer was even an amazing rapper. They were excellent.
