We had such a great experience with the Bachelor Boys and highly recommend them! When we first started planning our wedding, we knew music was a top priority, and that we wanted to have a live band. We booked the nine piece band, ceremony string trio, ceremony sound, jazz trio for cocktail hour and lighting package all through the Bachelor Boys. It was so nice being able to book all of these services through one company which helped simplify the planning process. During the planning phase and leading up to the event, Colin was very helpful, responsive, and detail-oriented. The band itself was very talented and played the exact mix of music that we wanted. It was great having family and friends of all ages out on the dance floor. We wanted an awesome dance party and that’s what we got! Everything went so smoothly and according to plan, and four months later we are still getting compliments from friends and relatives on how awesome the band was!
Bachelor Boys was fantastic. Not only was the music phenomenal, but Jimmy and the team did a great job coordinating. He made everything smooth and seamless throughout the process. The band rocked and everyone said they were one of the best wedding bands they’d ever heard — we agree! Would highly recommend Bachelor Boys.
One of the best decisions we made, and all of our guests had a wonderful time because of Bachelor Boys Band!
Any questions?
We were recently married in October out on the Eastern Shore of MD. The Bachelor Boys were our band for our wedding day and we couldn't have been happier! Being able to customize the band size for each aspect of our wedding day made this even more special. We had a couple of musicians for our ceremony, then a jazz trio for our cocktail hour, and finally a rocking 6-piece band for our reception. The band members are all talented and had our guests on the dance floor!
Jimmy and the team are easy to work with, responsive, and were willing to learn a new song so we could have our first dance to a song that has a lot of meaning to us.
Super talented group and reasonably priced for the value you get! Follow them on Spotify too- you'll be dancing at home!
Thanks guys!
Janeen & Todd
Fantastic experience! Planning with Brian was so easy and the band was phenomenal on wedding day.
Fantastic band that got people up and on the dance floor! They also provided the solo pianist for my ceremony and he was very talented. My guests loved them and we all had a blast. I had a six piece band and they were very good about working with me on the playlist. They did a great hora/ Jewish dancing session and everyone loved it. Overall very please with the band and the service we received.
We used the Bachelor Boys Band for our wedding and could not be happier with their services!! The band is incredibly talented and truly made the night so special. Aside from the wildly talented band, the entire team was so communicative and kind! I am so glad we had them on our special day- it was perfect!!
This band knows how to throw a party!! I received so many compliments like "I haven't been to a wedding this fun in a long time" and "This band is incredible." They managed to keep 100+ on the dance floor and longer through the night than an average wedding. You could tell the guests wanted to be on the dance floor when the band was playing and took a break when the band did. I highly recommend the band if you want an exciting and fun party at your reception! They even sang our first dance song which they did AMAZINGLY! We loved the cello & piano for our ceremony as well. They followed cues and played all the requested songs for each part of the ceremony. The blues band during cocktail was fun as people enjoyed appetizers and drinks. Amber was our MC for the night and she did an amazing job of introducing everyone and following the timeline exactly how I had envisioned it. If you want a professional and organized band, this is your group! You will not be disappointed!!!
Bachelor Boys did an awesome job at my wedding! We had a 6 piece band and then guitar music for the pre-ceremony. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and almost every guest has told me how amazing the band was. Jay and Deb (our vocalists) were amazing. Jay was our MC and was beyond fantastic. My husband and I were thrilled with his vibe, energy, and charisma. Bachelor Boys crushed this and I am so thrilled I had them at my wedding!
We absolutely loved our 6-piece band! We had a black-tie wedding for 140 people and wanted the music to be modern and fun since we had a younger crowd with a good amount of friends in their late 20s/30s. People were dancing all night and we got so many compliments on our band. They also were great with Hava Nagila (Hora) and kept it going for a bit so there was time to get not only my husband and I in the chair but also our parents and his grandparents. We told them a general sense of what music we liked and disliked, along with the general vibe of the wedding and attendees, and I'm so pleased with their song selections for dinner and the in-between times. People were even dancing while waiting for dinner to be served because that's how much they loved the music! Thanks so much Bachelor Boys Band!
We absolutely loved the Bachelor Boys Band at our wedding. They sounded AMAZING (we received so many compliments about how wonderful they were) and kept our guests dancing all night. I have to give a shout out to Jimmy who was incredible to deal with during the planning process. Overall, they were professional, kind, and incredibly talented. Thank you, Bachelor Boys!
The band was fabulous - it made my daughters wedding - the singer was full of energy and the musicians were great - I am hoping to hire them company for my other daughters wedding - top 2 highlights of wedding according to my guests - the band and venue. I also hired 3 strings for the ceremony and it was perfect!
Bachelors Boys Band was extremely professional from when we hired them to their performance at our reception. Jimmy was extremely attentive to our music selection and played all our favorites! Amazing talent all around and kept our guests on the dance floor all night! Thank you for a night to remember!!
Bachelor Boys Band was absolutely amazing at our wedding! Our guests could not stop raving about the band. From cocktail hour through the reception Bachelor Boys Band’s vibes were unmatched! They kept the party going throughout the night and made sure to nail all of our special songs. Everyone was out of their seats dancing. Truly a night to remember filled with the best music thanks to Bachelor Boys Band. 10/10 recommend - could not have pictured our big day without them!
I was blown away by how much fun they were! Nearly every single guest mentioned how awesome the band was. Highly recommend!
Bachelor Boys Band was the highlight of our wedding and we've gotten so many compliments on their performance! I first heard of Bachelor Boys Band at a work conference -- they impressed everyone so much at the event that I knew we'd need them for our wedding and they didn't disappoint! They kept everyone on the dance floor all night, which was our priority, and we're so grateful for all of the work they put into making the night so special! We couldn't imagine getting married without a band and we're so grateful that Bachelor Boys Band was affordable and put on an amazing performance. We highly highly highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding!
Mike and the Bachelor Boys Band provided the ceremony sound support, cocktail duo music, reception band performance and up lighting for our wedding at the Baltimore Museum of Art. We were incredibly impressed with the band's musical performances and ceremony sound support. Our most frequent guest compliment is how awesome the band was. We had a 6-piece band for our 100-guest creative black tie wedding. They were able to read the room for song choices and played plenty of songs from our recommended list that were a hit! Communication was not at the same level as most of our other vendors. We only had one 20 minute phone conversation less than two weeks before our wedding. Where we had a huge issue was the up lighting of our reception space. We had discussed a white or warm amber color and when we joined our reception the lighting was blue (also not a color in our wedding color palette). We asked them to change it to the warm amber and it was briefly changed to lime green until it was correctly changed after asking again. This was fine until we started seeing photos from guests, vendors and our professional photographer with this blue lighting. We emailed Mike asking about why the blue lighting occurred and if they can provide any compensation (to at least help cover extra photo editing). Mike's emailed response said "there was time [during cocktail hour] to switch beforehand if you were unhappy" and "There's no discrepancy that the lighting looks blue in these pictures, but the lighting used was a white. You would have noticed a blue during the room reveal so maybe it's something w/ the reflection off the stone or something with your friend's cell phone." They did end up refunding us the full cost of the lighting. We felt this response to be very unprofessional, lacking accountability and victim blaming. TL;DR: recommend for band purposes only, don't use for lighting
Response from the Vendor on 04/08/2024
Hi Haylee,
Thank you for the kind compliments of the band! We really had fun performing for you and your guests. It was a lovely cocktail hour and such a fun dance floor.
I'm sorry about the lighting issues you experienced. I certainly wasn't ...
trying to blame you for the lighting in my email and I'm so sorry that you interpreted it that way. I simply wanted to provide an explanation as to why the white lighting we planned for/used may have appeared blue in some photos – LED colors are often not picked up properly by cell phones and the color discrepancy can be made more intense when filters are used on the photos. That's all I was referring to when mentioning the discrepancy between the blue hue being less visible in person versus the reflection that was picked up by cameras. When you requested it after seeing photos, we were happy to change the lighting color on the night and we were, of course, happy to provide a refund to cover the editing cost for photos where the lighting appeared blue. I'm very sorry that these lighting issues affected your event and I hope the refund helped improve your experience with us. Wishing you and Jack all the best!
Amazing band, great sound, high energy, and gets everyone dancing! Cannot recommend them enough!!
We had a chance to see the Bachelor Boys Band perform at our friends' wedding and knew we had to have them play at ours. The inquiry process was easy & simple - once we submitted our request, Mike from Bachelor Boys got in touch with us promptly and we were able to chat over the phone to talk through how the band could help create our ideal wedding day. Based on what we wanted, we went with the trio of strings to play our ceremony and opted for the 9-piece band to play the reception. We had no regrets, as the strings played our requested songs beautifully, with many compliments from our friends and family regarding their compositions. The 9-piece band also crushed the reception and helped bring all our guests onto the dance floor. The band covered a wide array of genres, from wedding classics to modern day hits. Our guests could not stop raving about the band and how amazing they were. We only wished that there was clearer communication upfront about the capability of playing special requests live - we had initially created a Spotify playlist to share the type of music we wanted to hear at the reception and highlighted a few of the specific songs in that playlist to be performed live at the reception, though we later found out closer to the wedding day that the band could only stream the songs. Aside from that misunderstanding, the band was truly amazing and if you want to have your guests dancing all night at your wedding, we could not recommend the Bachelor Boys Band enough. Thank you Mike and the rest of the Bachelor Boys Band for creating a night that we will never forget!
We are so happy we went with Bachelor Boy Bands for our wedding! Our manager, Amber, made everything seamless and easy. The planning page/portal makes communication simple and helps you think through the little details of how you want the day to flow. We loved that we were able to easily add on ceremony and cocktail hour music. The band kept the energy high and the dance floor crowded! So many guests mentioned how great the band was after the night had ended. The price is incredible in comparison to other groups. We were naturally worried that we hadn't seen the full group prior to the wedding night, but the group that was assembled by Amber surpassed our expectations!
Super professional and communicative, and the band crushed our special day. Highly recommend.
Bachelor Boys Band was so great leading up to and on our wedding day. Their organization was unmatched, and we got SO many compliments on how good the band was. We have been to a ton of weddings and had a high bar, but they really crushed it!! Can't recommend enough. They also were able to do the ceremony strings, cocktail hour music and uplighting and it was all seamless.
Amazing. Just amazing. Hire the Bachelor Boys asap!
The Bachelor Boys Band were high energy, talented, and kept our wedding guests dancing all night!
It was great we got to watch them play in a local showcase before booking, and they were very responsive answering questions by email. They are reasonably priced given their level of talent, booking them was a no brainer for us. We booked a 7 piece band to play at our reception and booked them for ceremony audio support.
All of our guests keep telling us how awesome our band was and how much fun they had, I would definitely book them!
The band was amazing. They sounded great and were super tight! We used them for ceremony, cocktail hour and for reception and they crushed it throughout. They totally were willing to work with us with venue changes due to weather which I truly appreciated even though it wasn’t their first choice. We had a little confusion about services we had requested vs things that would be nice to have but it was all sorted out with plenty of time to spare. The one thing is we increased our band size requesting a horn but didn’t receive that during reception. It ended up not mattering. The band sounded so so great without it. It was just something my husband and I both had hoped for. They rocked the reception and were super great musicians. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
We hired BBB to provide a string quartet for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and as the band for our reception. All night long we our guests were raving about how amazing the band was. We booked after going to see one of their showcases, and the wedding was even better than we could have imagined based on the showcase. BBB also makes it super easy to plan and communicate with the producer through their portal. I would recommend BBB for any other couple looking to have an amazing party at their wedding!
We loved this band from start to finish. It was so great to be able to see them in a showcase. Planning was seamless from the beginning to end - they have a web portal for everything about your event - you share song ideas, track payment, and upload your event timeline. All of our guests talked about how fun the band was! If you’re going band, bachelor boys band is the way to go.
The band was AMAZING!!! Loved the sound of the music, they played amazing songs to get everyone up dancing, and were perfect emcees. They even let my dad join in to sing a song. If you want a dancing party, hire them! I also appreciate how easy they made the planning process and how they helped with song choices.
From start to finish, booking this band was so seamless! Nichol answered all of my questions and the dashboard they use to plan was extremely efficient. Booking and planning was a complete breeze and the band themselves exceeded our expectations. The musicians were so talented and professional; our guests are still commenting on how awesome they were. Booking through and using Bachelor Boys was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding day. Nowhere will you find such reasonable pricing and get the level of talent you get with this group...will shout it from the rooftops!
When we saw the Bachelor Boys perform live, we knew we had to book them for our wedding. We went big - got a 12-person band and music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception- and were NOT disappointed. Our guests were up and dancing all night, and everyone kept telling us how much they loved the music. People told us it felt like they were at a concert, and that they couldn't remember when they'd had that much fun at a wedding. The manager, Colin, was very easy to work with, and the online portal for getting all the details of your wedding down made planning very easy and communication super clear. We had a band member emcee for us, and he did an amazing job, making the whole evening feel seamless despite some night-of pivots to the order of events. Finally, we reserved a photobooth through the Bachelor Boys, and were delighted to see how much fun our guests had with it. All in all, we're so happy we booked the Bachelor Boys! Easily the best decision we made in a vendor for our wedding.
The bachelor boys were a huge success at our wedding! We saw them at our friends’ wedding last spring, so we decided to book them days after we got engaged. They were everything we hoped for. Our family and friends couldn’t stop talking about how lively and exciting the dance floor was. They had everyone on their feet. I had one groomsmen who normally refuses to dance, but he was on the floor all night. As a couple who loves a good dance, they were more than we could have dreamed of. Thank you!
The Bachelor Boys Band did an amazing job of performing for my wedding. The whole process was very organized and was one of the least stressful parts of planning my wedding. The band kept everyone on their feet and dancing the whole night. I also appreciated hearing songs I love played while they were on their break. Colin was very helpful in the whole planning process. I highly recommend the Bachelor Boys Band!
We LOVED LOVED LOVED Bachelor Boys Band and so did our guests! We first saw BBB at one of their showcase nights and immediately knew that they would be awesome to work with. Taylor was so great--she helped onboard us and also helped figure out a great playlist.
The band played DJ music and then low key songs throughout dinner--really really appreciated by our guests who have been blasted out by dinner music in the past. They really turned up the energy and volume as soon as dinner finished. You can tell the know what they're doing because the crowd was on the dance floor all night--from dancing in groups to big circles , etc. The guests didn't want the night to end and we did get one encore song at the end :) 5+ stars! Use this band!
The Bachelor Boys Band did an incredible job! They were quick to answer all of our questions leading up to our big day and took all of our suggestions/preferences for music very seriously. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The Batchelor Boys Band were spectacular and everyone had such a great time. The dance floor was packed and no one wanted the band to stop playing! Now that's the way to make a good time roll!
They provided so many options for lighting and instruments and went above and beyond to provide us with the perfect combination of band and room lighting, a microphone stand for those who were giving speeches, and making all the announcements and choreographing of the reception so that no one was anxious or bored.
Have you ever been to a wedding with an encore? We have.
Hire them. Here’s why:
- our emcee Chelsea was amazing. She had an incredible voice, the set list rocked, and our guests were dancing till the last song
- the band learned additional songs for our processional that were meaningful for us, and kept a really long horah going
- the web portal was great for clear expectations, payment, logistics and more
- we could easily add ceremony and cocktail music, more musicians and even some lighting (for the best uplight rates I could find, and they set them up, too)
- the musicians were extremely talented
BBB worked through our meticulous contracting with professionalism and patience, and outperformed all expectations - plus, they were beyond reasonably priced for their talent and breadth.
Hire them and just stop looking at all those other guys.
Bachelor Boys isn't really a traditional band, but rather a group of musicians who play together interchangeably. So if you want specific singers, it can be extremely helpful to attend one of their showcases, which are a blast! We worked with Mike, who was great. When one of the singers became ill with Covid a couple days before the wedding, Mike went above and beyond to make up for it, which we really appreciated. They also have a handy online planning tool where you can input all kinds of info about your wedding, and you can update choices in the portal as you make final decisions. Their pricing is affordable and customizable and transparent.
Nothing beats a live band!
Having the Bachelor Boys Band play at my wedding was the best decision. I had the 6 piece band play. From start to finish they were professional with great communication and they helped me through the process. They tailored the music to what I wanted to be played at my wedding. They played at my friends wedding 2 weeks later and the music was just as good, but tailored to what they wanted. It was a younger crowd and we were an older crowd. Also, they are excellent at reading the crowd and playing the songs to keep everyone having fun.
We had a brunch at our house the next day and so many people complimented The Bachelor Boys Band.
My husband and I are musicians, and we were thrilled to work with Bachelor Boys Band. They could provide the exact number of musicians we wanted and worked with our special requests for songs that were sentimental to us. Everyone was dancing - it was not a boring wedding! Everyone is still talking about it two months later. I highly recommend them and seeing them at a showcase.
Great party band! Easy and organized to work with through the entire planning process. Suggestions from us for playlist - but the rest was up to them - spot on!! Danced the whole night!!
Bachelor Boys Band was great! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding band
The top notch professionalism and flexibility during planning already made me a fan, but most importantly, they delivered with their music! We hired a high-energy, four piece band. Steve definitely knew how to read the room.
Bachelor Boys Band ruined our wedding.
In advance of the wedding, we had repeatedly made clear to them, over the phone and by e-mail, “Our big red line is NO rap.” -- not only because we don't like rap, but also because it is inappropriate in our culture to play rap at weddings. And yet on the day of the wedding they played hard rap, which deeply offended our families. It brought the bride to tears, and it was only when she (again in tears) complained to the band, in front of our entire room of guests, that they finally agreed to stop playing rap.
Indeed, we had actually provided to the Band, two days before the wedding, an extensive playlist of popular wedding songs that we wanted them to play. They had immediately replied: “we are all set, we'll have everything we need ready to go”. Yet on the day of the wedding, they did not play our playlist at all. It was, again, only after the bride complained to them in tears in front of all our guests that they finally agreed to switch to our playlist. They clearly had our playlist on hand because they did ultimately switch to it. But for some unknown reason they initially simply ignored our playlist.
To make matters worse, the DJ Steve was utterly unprepared for all of our DJ cues, which we had painstakingly explained to the Band in detail, again by email two days before the wedding – to which, again, they had replied: “we are all set, we'll have everything we need ready to go”. We had told the Band to cut off the choreographed father-daughter dance at 1:39 of the song, but Steve did not, leading to an extremely awkward moment for the father and the bride after their dance where they were waving their arms at the band to stop the music -- again, in front of the entire room of guests. In addition, for our first dance, Steve started playing our song while the maid of honor was talking, even though we had repeatedly told the Band in advance when they were supposed to start playing it. This again led to the bride embarrassingly turning around and waving her arms at the band to stop the music -- once again, in front of all our guests. And when Steve did restart the music at the right moment, for some reason it was on an extremely high volume, which shocked all of our guests, and threw off our choreography. Steve did promptly turn it down back to a normal volume, but the dance (which we had spent months choreographing and practicing) had already been ruined.
On top of all this, we had expressed a preference for a certain male vocalist months before our wedding, and the Band confirmed to us multiple times that he would be the one singing at our wedding. But on the day of our wedding, he was nowhere to be found, only to be replaced by the unprepared DJ Steve as the male vocalist. We found this bait-and-switch extremely dishonest and disrespectful.
In light of this horrible experience, we wrote to Bachelor Boys Band after the wedding with all of these complaints, and they simply ignored our e-mail, as we had paid for everything in advance. At the very least, they could have apologized for bringing the bride to tears, for not playing our playlist, for missing the right DJ cues, and for replacing our desired male vocalist. But they simply did not respond to our e-mail. This was, again, extremely disrespectful.
We strongly recommend not to hire Bachelor Boys Band for anything.
We cannot recommend Bachelor Boys Band enough! We worked with Britt throughout the planning process and she was absolutely excellent. Our guests continue to tell us how great our band was and how it was the best wedding they had ever attended, which we attribute to BBB getting everybody dancing with great music. They did our ceremony sound, our cocktail hour jazz trio, and the band for the reception. All 3 aspects went perfectly. Planning with them through their portal was so easy and kept us organized. We cannot recommend BBB highly enough
We hired the Bachelor Boys Band to play at our wedding and they did not disappoint. Our event went perfectly and the Bachelor Boys was a big part of that success. Leading up to the wedding, the team was very helpful and made the process seamless. The night of the wedding they played a wide assortment of songs that appealed to everyone. I would highly recommend hiring Bachelor Boys for any event.
110% happy with The Bachelor Boys Band! They were incredible and we still have guests tell us how awesome they were! They rocked and rolled all night, played a great variety of music, and had great depth due to multiple singers. My husband and I are big dancers, so even just listening to the band play was a great experience. I kept seeing advertising for this band and decided to take a chance of them and book them… SO WORTH IT! Loved them.
My husband and I hired the Bachelor Boys Band for our wedding, and it was the #1 compliment we received from our guests! Our wedding venue recommended them as one of their preferred vendors, and we booked them without attending a showcase (which they do offer regularly). Because the band works often with our venue, collaborating was a breeze. The Bachelor Boys Band has a planning webpage (for schedule, speciality dances selection, "do not play" list, etc.) that we jointly worked on and recommends sharing a collaborative Spotify playlist to get a sense of your music taste. The Bachelor Boys Band provided an acoustic guitarist for our ceremony, a jazz trio for our cocktail hour, and a 6-piece band for our reception. They played our selected songs for the ceremony and specialty dances live. Their MC was not cringey and didn't dominate the evening. As 90's kids and huge Taylor Swift fans, the band delivered majorly for the reception and kept everyone dancing and scream singing all night! I would 10/10 recommend this vendor for any couple looking to have a lively dance floor at their wedding.
We had the Bachelor Boys for all events on our wedding day. We had one instrument for the ceremony, 2 instruments for cocktail hour and 8 pieces for the reception and everything was perfect! We had so many compliments from our guests on how great the band sounded. Matt and the band made the whole planning process so easy with my personalized planning page that I could go on and update/ edit at any point. Being able to customize the instruments for each event was great! If you’re looking for live music, a great band and easy planning- Bachelor Boys Band is right for you! We would 100% book them every time!
Bachelor Boys Band was the only band vendor that we researched for our entertainment and they were outstanding! They were the entertainment for our friends' wedding back in 2021 and we decided to take a look at their services and what they offered. We went to a mini concert that they occasionally hold in the area to get a better idea of what they perform and had a great time! They give a ton of options on what they can perform and are very flexible if you want to have a recording of a song during the day! For example, we wanted to have all first and parent dances be danced to a recording and they obliged. The dashboard that they use to plan out the day is very thorough and organized and you can change it as you see fit until you meet with someone to go over everything before the big day.
Besides the band, we also used their videography services and once again, they did not disappoint. Zach was our videographer and he was incredibly nice. He never once got in the way at all during the wedding and made us feel very comfortable and casual when he filmed. Seeing our highlight video brought happy tears to our eyes and we are SOOO happy that we splurged on a wedding video. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend it. You will not regret it.
Only issue we had was some lack of communication in the beginning when we were looking to get basic information and a quote. Najwa was our main contact for the band and every time we emailed her, it took a long time for her to respond. Our videography contact was Adam and he was always very prompt in getting back to us and even personally reached out to Najwa a couple times to gently remind to respond to us. It was a little odd in the beginning but completely paid off in the end.
Our guests gave so many compliments to us on how well the band played, their music selection and so on. We wanted a playlist that would be a good fit for all ages of our guest list. The band performed something for everyone and even had our grandparents dancing at one point!
Highly recommend Bachelor Boys at least for your band and videography needs.
The Bachelor Boys Band was absolutely amazing and an essential part of why our wedding day went so incredibly well. Booking was super was easy, they have a great portal site that you can update information for your event. They have all these great add-ons if you need (we added on floor lighting that really made a difference in our event space). They are seriously professionals and know what they are doing and know how to make your day go so smoothly. We opted for a mic set up for our ceremony.. and they even helped with our friend who did our ceremony music. They also had a trio do our happy hour music that everyone was so impressed with. For our reception, the MC we had was INCREDIBLE. He made the reception go so smoothly and everyone was like 'this is the coolest guy ever'..and he seriously was. The band music later in the night was so so good, there was not a single song that didn't have everyone on the dance floor. You can tell how much they enjoy what they do and it shows in how talented each member. 10/10 would book again. You will not regret using them for your big day/event!
We hired BBB for our wedding in October. We hired them to DJ the ceremony as well as the 6 piece live band for the reception. We also selected the upgraded lighting package from them which is actually a really great option they offer. It saved us a lot of money on lighting rentals and made SUCH a huge difference in the ambiance. The band was phenomenal and was a perfect size for our venue. I worked with Amber initially to set up everything and she was great to work with. Very professional, helpful, and quick to respond. I only gave them 4 stars because of the DJ services. The microphones kept cutting out during the ceremony and speeches at the reception which actually got pretty frustrating. Also, one of the few things I was very specific about was the music the wedding party walked down the aisle to. I also wanted to walk down the aisle to a very specific section of a song. They said they could absolutely do that and start and stop the song exactly where I requested. Unfortunately, all of the music cues ended up getting messed up, like they stopped the song my husband entered to right in the middle of the best man walking down the aisle (which caused him to get really confused and stop walking) and played the completely wrong part of my entrance song (the part I wanted was slow and romantic and the verse that got played is fast and upbeat...not really wedding aisle music). There were also a few times there was no music playing and some of the wedding party and even myself were walking in silence. I know the guests didn't notice but as that was one of the few things I was very particular about it was definitely very frustrating. Other than that, they were great!

Hi Brooke,
Thank you for your feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the band's performance and the planning experience leading up to your wedding. They had the best time performing for you and your guests! What a fun party! I'm really sorry about ...
the technical difficulties with the DJ's wireless mics and the cue errors. With the room set up, we had some trouble with guests being too far away from the wireless mic receiver which caused the sound to drop. We have made note of this for future events at the venue so we can prevent it from happening in the future. Again, I'm so sorry that it affected your event but I'm really glad you enjoyed the party overall. Wishing you all the best!
The Bachelor Boys Band is the band you are looking for - no need to go further! As a bride and groom who was mixing in different cultures into one space - different music tastes arose. The Bachelor Boys were able to accommodate, playing a lot of today's hits (they are with the times!!) and also doing a great job DJing exactly what you want in between - so we had a little bit of everything at our wedding - something we wanted! They are amazing, easy to work with and overall - highly recommended so look no further! Book them now!
Bachelor Boys came recommended by our venue and was an excellent choice for a band. In addition to MC services, they provided ceremony and reception music. Both events were played professionally, and enhanced our wedding. The ceremony band adapted a song for our processional, which was important to us. The reception band brought great energy and talent, and they provided a lot of flexibility in scheduling their live sets around our reception events and making sure they played songs we asked for and used good judgment in filling in the blanks. We would highly recommend Bachelor Boys.
If you don't hire the Bachelor Boys, you are totally doing your wedding ALL WRONG! They were AMAZING! The level of musicianship across the board was top notch. They played everything from 60's soul to 2000's pop and it was perfect! Alex was a true professional throughout the entire process, and was super easy to work with. They use an online dashboard that is very user friendly and intuitive. Most importantly, they kept the party going all night long!! We also used them for the ceremony and cocktail hour, both of which were great.
In summary, if you are thinking about hiring this group...like NIKE says...JUST DO IT!!
:) :) :)
Thank you Bachelor Boys for a night to remember! sort of...I had a lot to drink so the end is a bit hazy hehe
Bachelor Boys Band was everything we could have wanted and more! We knew we did not want a DJ after attending countless weddings and hearing what seemed to be the exact same playlist at each one - band was a necessity and BBB was a no-brainer! BBB was great to work with leading up, selecting the music we wanted to hear throughout the evening including the specific selections for Bride & Groom entrance, first dance, first and last songs of the night, etc. They made the entire wedding so fun with music from all eras and genres, guests of all ages were on the dance floor all night. Do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding as they will not disappoint!
My son had the BBB for his wedding in November. By no means do I claim to be a dancer, but they were so awesome I spent the night on the dance floor. I highly recommend them as they get the party started & keep them dancing all night long!
Bachelor Boys Band (BBB) was beyond perfect for our event. We contracted BBB for ceremony string music, cocktail hour jazz quartet music, and reception 7 piece band music and we could not have been more thrilled with every aspect. They allowed me to micromanage the string music down the song selection, which was mostly modern songs on string, and seemed to have an endless selection. It made our ceremony so unique and special. From a reception point of view, so many of our guests said they were the best band they have ever experienced at a wedding and our dance floor was packed the entire night. Lastly, in what was completely above and beyond, the band learned an original song composed by myself and one of the groomsmen, as a surprise for my groom. It was the highlight of my night personally and something we will never forget. I would recommend to anyone looking for musical services for their wedding or other event ten times over. Thank you BBB!!!!
The Bachelor Boys Band was the best possible band we could have had! Music and food were the two most important aspects of our wedding in our opinion, and the Bachelor Boys Band delivered music that blew us, and the entire reception away! Not only was the management very receptive and communicative, but they were extremely accommodating. We requested songs for the ceremony which are not even played on regular guitars (bass guitar riffs) and they delivered it perfectly! The grooms family is OBSESSED with Bruce Springsteen and BBB not only played some Bruce songs, but played MANY Bruce songs, divided throughout the night, which kept the dance floor packed! Not only did the band perform amazing music, mashups, and covers of popular songs, but the performance was incredible! Having members of the band join us on the dance floor to play the trumpet, and to jump off stage and create an atmosphere of excitement and pure joy was incredible.
This entire gushing review is to all here to say: THE BACHELOR BOYS BAND IS THE BEST WEDDING BAND EVER!!!
We highly recommend, and will be suggesting that any and all friends reach out to them for their musical needs!
Thanks so much to Steve, and all the band members who delivered the most incredible, memorable, amazing night of our lives which we will never forget!
All of our wedding guests LOVED the Bachelor Boys Band! They were so incredibly talented, and did a great job reading the room and playing the perfect music to keep our guests dancing all night long. Leading up to the event, they have an online platform for you to use that makes it easy to track your special songs, do-not-play list, etc. It was so smooth to have one band provide all the music and equipment for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception -- and at a great price!
Wow! Could not have asked for a better wedding band for our October, 2022 wedding. They truly made the night. Mike was great to work with from start to finish. We will be booking them for family events in the future. Cannot recommend BBB enough!
Communication with the band ahead of the wedding wasn’t great. We sometimes had a hard time getting in touch with our assigned producer and it would often take her weeks and 3-4 follow up emails to get back to us, even when we were trying to sign the contract. However, the band was incredible on our wedding night! Any concerns we had going into the night were completely gone by the first song. We had a 10 piece band for our wedding in Philly and every single one of the musicians was extremely talented. They kept things high energy all night and the dance floor was packed the entire time. Every guest, from friends to grandparents, spent most of the night on the dance floor and we got so many compliments on the band. Be prepared that they might not be as communicative as other vendors because the musicians themselves are the producers, but it’s worth it for a great, fun wedding band that’s not nearly as expensive as others we considered.

Hi Laura,
Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad that you and your guests loved the band. They are super talented and always put on a great show. We love seeing a full dance floor and your wedding was awesome! I am sorry for any communicati...
on delays leading up to the event. While we always try to respond as quickly as possible, this year has been abnormally busy for us with a backlog of events from the last couple years and we are working on improving our systems to help producers respond more quickly. We will certainly take your feedback into account. Wishing you all the best!
This band was a total disappointment. We had seen several showcases and were very excited about them. Unfortunately, they were a bit of a train wreck on our wedding day. The “MC” was extremely awkward and actually made our guests feel uncomfortable. They completely butchered our first dance song which they “learned” for our wedding. It wasn’t even recognizable and the lead singer was reading the words off his iphone. They did not follow the schedule and took a TWO HOUR break during dinner service. I actually thought they were wedding guests that I didn’t recognize because they were drinking and lounging around. They were only scheduled to take two 15 minute breaks. My family had to find them and request they play music to which they responded “we didn’t get our food yet”. They actually had to argue to get them to play music… when they finally got to our parent first dance songs, our photographer had already left because it was so late in the night. When they finally played the dance portion of the night they were decent, but played only one of my requested dance songs. I would highly recommend brides stay clear of this band if you want your night to go smoothly. I should have saved money on a DJ.
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2022
Hi Kristina, Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry this is how you felt about the evening. The MC on your event always receives rave reviews from other clients so I'm not sure what made you feel he was awkward, but am sorry if there was a...
nything he could have executed better. While live music can bring a ton of fun energy to events, it will rarely sound exactly like an original so we do always encourage clients who have particular tastes or specific choreography to consider using a recorded track for their first dance. We do often have lyrics and sheet music on iPads to avoid making mistakes even if we know the songs by heart. Again, I'm sorry if that was not what you were expecting. On the schedule, the band was instructed to perform a 45 minute cocktail set, dinner entrance music and the first dance, which they did, and then party music beginning after dinner. To clarify, the dinner break did take 1.5-2 hours for all guests rather than the hour originally planned for. This was not a band delay and, as you know, one of catering's cooking propane tanks broke which unfortunately caused this slow service. Once the band did start their reception set, they played straight through for nearly 2 hours without taking their usual two 15 minute breaks to help make up for the catering delay. It sounds like you would have preferred for the band to start playing while guests were still seated for dinner so I apologize that we didn't realize that sooner and wish there was more we could have done to make up for the catering delay. The band also performed 13 of the songs/artists that were specifically requested ahead of time. I'm not sure whether you missed those songs but hopefully that provides some peace of mind that the playlist was tailored to the requests we were given. Again, I'm sorry that the night was not what you envisioned and for anywhere we fell short. Wishing you and John the best!
The Bachelor Boys Band performed at our wedding in Hampton, VA September 3,2022. We are so happy we chose them as our band, the songs that they performed sounded amazing! We received many compliments from our guests about the. I also added on the photo booth option with the band and I appreciated the high quality of the images and being able to review all of the fun photos from the night. Thanks again!
If you are on the fence about hiring a live band, do yourself a favor and make the investment. Especially if you hire Bachelor Boys Band, you won’t regret that decision.
They played music for our ceremony, during our cocktail hour, and at our reception and killed it in every arena.
Despite the 90 degree weather, the dance floor was packed the entire night. They played a great variety of music that had everyone from our youngest to our oldest guest on their feet.
I cannot recommend them enough.
Wow, was it worth the wait to hear Bachelor Boys Band play at our rescheduled wedding! My husband and I started our wedding planning process in 2019. We were one of the couples who did a micro wedding in 2020 and rescheduled our big party twice - once in 2021 and finally had the chance to have our party in 2022. We got a 10 piece band from Bachelor Boys and everybody was on the dance floor all night! We worked with Colin Renick and he was so accommodating when I requested more motown music! My friends and family are still talking about how wonderful the band was this past weekend. You can’t go wrong with booking with Bachelor Boy Bands and will always recommend them for our friends hosting a DMV wedding!

Hi Carole Anne! We're grateful for your patience in choosing us to play at your wedding. We really enjoyed working with you and we had SO much fun performing for you and your guests! Thank you for the review and for recommending us, and we hope...
to see you at one of your friends weddings! :)
The band was so great. Our guests raved about them. We got the 8-piece band. They worked to capture our favorite songs, and also played a perfect selection of hits to keep everyone happy. They were able to play all the songs we asked them to. We also worked with them for ceremony music, ceremony audio, and cocktail music, which worked out great. The preparation process was seamless and very easy. We would highly recommend them.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hey Colin! We're so happy you enjoyed the 8-piece band - it was the perfect pick for your special day! We enjoyed working with you and performing for you and your guests. Thanks for the review and recommendation!
The Bachelor Boys were AMAZING at our wedding! They are incredibly talented and we received so many compliments on how awesome they were. At one point, a friend stated that they kept forgetting a live band was playing because they were so talented they often sounded like the original songs. Our guests were partying hard on the dance floor! It was such a fun dance party. I communicated with Mike during the planning process. He was incredibly easygoing and nice and the planning page was so easy to use. Not only are they a talented group of musicians, but they are also very affordable in comparison to other bands in the area. The talent combined with the price is unbeatable. Music is very important to us and we dreamed of having a live band at our wedding, but we could have never imagined how wonderful the Bachelor Boys would be. I would recommend them to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hey Beth! WOW, this review made our day! We love that you and your guests loved our performance. We had so much fun! Thanks for choosing us and for your kind words. Wishing you all the best!
The band could not have been any better. Great planning page and communication before hand. Everyone could not have been nicer, accommodated as many requests as they could, and once they started playing the dance floor was packed the entire reception. Would recommend them to anyone I know getting married.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Thank you so much, Tim! :)
They had are dance floor packed at our wedding! They are so easy to work with and super talented! This band is so fun and such a great experience for guest!!! Our friends are using the same band for their wedding next year after hearing them perform at ours!! Book them asap!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Thank you so much, Megan! It was a blast! :)
If you’re looking for a wedding band, you can end your search right here. The Bachelor Boys are fabulous. They will have your guests dancing all night. They are probably 99.99999% of the reason that, one month later, we are still receiving rave reviews that our wedding was one of the “most fun” weddings our guests have ever attended.
Our producer, Colin, worked with us to advise what made the most sense for the music we wanted and for our venue. We appreciated his straightforward answers and advice, especially when it came to our music selections and what would make them sound best.
On our wedding day, the band leader/MC made sure to meet with our wedding party before intros so he could properly pronounce everyone’s name. He also worked with our venue coordinator to ensure we stayed on schedule as best we could.
Their booking website was easy to use and made managing payments and day-of timelines super easy. We also used their lighting services. For all of the details big and small, booking the Bachelor Boys was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hey Alex, thank you SO much! We really enjoyed working with you and being a part of making your day special. We had so much fun performing for you and your guests, and appreciate you also using our lighting services! We wish you all the best!
I can't rave about Bachelor Boys Band enough. They had the dance floor bumpin' all night long. It was absolutely incredible! And guests have still been contacting me saying how amazing they were. They were also so flexible and helpful during my three COVID postponements! Can't recommend these guys enough!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Cara, thank you! We had so much fun performing for you and your guests. We're so glad we were able to make it work despite the three postponements due to COVID! Well worth it! Thank you for your kind words and recommendation!
I could not be happier with our decision to hire Bachelor Boys Band for our wedding. The quality of musicianship was AMAZING - so talented, professional, and fun and know exactly how to read the room to keep the party going. So many guests have told us since the event how much fun the wedding was and the dance floor was full the entire night. We did 6 pieces (included saxophone) for our reception which I highly recommend, and DJing and mics for the ceremony. The highlight was definitely the horah and they nailed it! Communication leading up to the event with Brit was exceptional, they made everything so easy. Don't hesitate - go with Bachelor Boys Band!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hi Jessica! We are so glad you enjoyed the 6-piece band, DJ, and MC! We especially loved doing the horah for you as well. Happy to have worked with you to make your special day turn out exactly how you wanted it to. Wishing you the best!
This band was incredible! I cannot tell you how many of our guests throughout the night came up to us just to say how awesome this band was. They read the room and played the best music for our wedding. They were organized, punctual, stayed on schedule, and did everything according to what we wanted in our wedding. They communicated with us leading up to the event to make sure everything was documented for what we expected and wanted to happen. Can't recommend this group enough!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hi Maddi, thank you so much! We loved being a part of your big day!
The Bachelor Boys were INCREDIBLE at our wedding. They're manager (I think that's his title), Andrew was so responsive leading up to the wedding, and just so easy to work with. We'd been to a wedding a year before our engagement with the BB's in Baltimore area, and the dance floor was packed all night.. So we were thrilled to see that they're available in Pittsburgh too! Prior to securing them, we interviewed another band, but the BB's gave us the best vibe ever, which is another big reason we chose them. A couple of weeks before our wedding, our budget allowed us to expand our band from a 5 piece to an 8 piece band, which was promptly accommodated without any issue. Our guests RAVED about the band, many people saying they were the BEST band they'd ever seen. I'd agree. They had the whole dance floor going all night long. I'd 100% choose Bachelor Boys again!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hey Karen! We're so glad you chose us to perform on your big day. We had so much fun, and we're glad you and your guests did too! We're also really happy you were able to do the 8-piece band as well - definitely worth it! Thank you for the revi...
ew! Wishing you the best :)
Brian and the team at Bachelor Boys were a joy to work with - organized, professional, and most importantly, FUN to work with. They performed at my best friend's wedding in 2017 and while planning our own wedding this year, I knew they were who we wanted to hire as our band. Brian was always quick to respond to emails, the planning process was very straight-forward, and their pricing was competitive. All of our guests loved the music selection and said it was some of the best wedding music they have experienced. Their music turned our reception into a party and made the evening that much more fun and memorable.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Hi Annie! Thank you so much for choosing us to perform at your wedding after seeing us at your best friend's wedding in 2017! It was an honor, and we're so glad we made your night more fun and memorable.
Our son and his fiancee were married on 5/13.My son plays the trumpet and always likes to support musicians.BBB were terrific.They kept the party going.The music and singing (what a voice!)were excellent.Would highly recommend them for any function!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Thanks so much, Joan! :)
If you’re looking for the complete package to kick your wedding entertainment up to an 11, look no further. From coordinating the ceremony music, to MCing dances and speeches, to putting on the BEST show I’ve ever seen at a wedding, the Bachelor Boys are the real deal. I had so many people ranging from ages 12 to 70 tell me how absolutely phenomenal the music was and asking how we found the band. An additional plus for the bride and groom, these guys are straight professionals on the planning side- if you give them a good timeline they’ll run with it no questions asked, which is just a huge weight off of your shoulders.
If you’re debating between getting a DJ and a band, get a band. And if you’re booking anyone but the Bachelor Boys you’re making a huge mistake because they’re the best of the best.

Wow, Emily! We cannot thank you enough for this review. We had so much fun performing for your guests of all ages, it was so great to see everyone up and dancing!! We appreciate your kind words, review, and recommendation. If you ever feel the...
need to throw a party in the future, you know where to find us ;)
Best band ever! From the first contact with Mike, to the band night review, to the actual event with an awesome band, photographer and videographer- we couldn’t have been happier! They were professional, prompt, no surprises, extremely talented and such fun! All of our guests were dancing, and asking where we found such a great band! Thank you for making our son’s wedding even more perfect! Love you all ❤️
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Thank you so much, Susan! We appreciate this immensely. Love YOU! <3
Excellent band! Brian the manager was very patient and helpful and flexible. They did the after-dinner band, ceremony music, and cocktail hour jazz. Great music, everyone had fun, and it was all seamless!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Thank you, Taylor! :)
I cannot recommend Bachelor Boys more - first they were so easy to communicate with and helped me with every question I had. Do not hesitate at all to book them! I was a nervous bride in general, and they blew me away. The band was what many of our guests said was their most favorite thing about our wedding (we had 200 guests). We had a 6 piece band and it was totally perfect for our amount of guests. I am extremely grateful for them and making our night absolutely perfect!
We booked a 6 person band for our 100 guest wedding and they were incredible. They had everyone on the dance floor enjoying themselves all evening. Their vocal range and song selection was on point, no one wanted the evening to end! We worked with Mike and he did an excellent job making our event come to life.
I don't have one bad thing to say about my experience with Bachelor Boys Band. From reaching out to them for a quote/contract to the day-of our wedding everything went absolutely perfect. We had a 7-piece band for a 150 person wedding and that was the perfect size. Guests kept telling us what a great time they had at our wedding dancing with the band. We had a male/female vocalist and both were perfect. Highly recommend! You will not regret your decision.
We booked the 5 piece band - it was a great experience from the initial outreach to the wedding and beyond. Amber really made sure everything was perfect and they made the night really special - they rocked the house!! The jazz trio for the cocktail hour was great too.
Don't look any further BOOK THESE GUYS!!!
It's not possible for me to be any happier with this band! If you have heard their clips on their website, let me tell you - they are even better in person. These guys were extremely professional, responsive, helpful, and flexible throughout the entire experience. Additionally, our wedding coordinator noted to me that they were really awesome and flexible on our wedding day which most bands are not, so she was raving about them as well. Basically, every guest of ours said they were the best wedding band they had ever seen and let me tell you they BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!! We had SO much fun on our wedding night thanks to these guys, and really never left the dance floor!! I can't recommend them enough especially for the price. JUST BOOK THEM and have the most amazing wedding you'll ever experience!!
