Such a fabulous band for a wedding!! They listened to all our input and preferences and played music that we loved and so did our guests. People still talk about what a great band we had. They had our guests dancing and singing for the entire r...
eception. They learned several songs we specifically requested, which was very special. I would recommend this band for any wedding or event!

The band was awesome-we've actually used them for all of my sibling's weddings too! After four weddings I can confidently say you won't regret hiring the Bay Kings Band! Our guests still talk about what a fun reception we had years later.

MC worked well with our coordinator and photographer so that the evening ran smoothly and so many of our guests have let us know how much they were impressed with the band. The cost is reasonable and well worth every penny!!

My companies have hired backbeat several times, and they always make our events PERFECT! They help in the creative process and always manage to bring our vision to life. For amazing live bands and production they are my first call every time!

We had our wedding this past April and Backbeat Entertainment truly made it a night to remember. For the past 4 weeks whenever we talk to friends and family they always bring up how amazing the band was. Rob and his team are professional and we...
re so easy to plan and coordinate with. These guys have so much experience to draw on that they won't need a lot of direction or oversight which freed us from having to worry about a lot of communication back and forth. We hired them to do a two piece (sax and keys) setup for our cocktail hour and then they had a 6 piece band play the reception. It was like being a professional concert and everyone was on the dance floor for the whole night. I guarantee if you hire these guys, you won't be disappointed!! High Recommend!!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy that we could play a part in your special day - and to hear that everyone had a blast! We appreciate the opportunity to work with you. :)
Soooo sick!! The Craig Thompson Project was amazing for our wedding. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect. Everyone keeps talking about how good the band was days after and know for sure it will be a life time memory. Thanks so much R...

Booked the Craig Thompson project for our annual commodores ball and boy did they not disappoint. Communication did not lack one bit and I received so many compliments on the lively and entertaining band. Now there are high expectations for our...
ball as it is a huge event for our club and entertainment is always under a microscope and they passed with flying colors. Definitely be booking them again!

Heather, thank you! We had a blast, too! Look forward to working with you again. :)
Backbeat Entertainment is hands down the best in the "biz"! From their professionalism, timeliness, to their musical options for ALL types of events, they are a pleasure to work with and know just how to keep the party energized! They are also ...
great at listening to their clients, in order to provide the best possible experience for each unique event!

Lia, thank you so much for trusting us for your entertainment needs. We appreciate your kind words and can't wait to work together again! :)
Just wanted to thank you for all your efforts coordinating our band last Saturday night! They were AMAZING!!!!!!! We knew they were going to be really good, but they honestly exceeded our expectations by a mile. We have a lot of musical people ...
among our family and friends, and everyone was just blown away. They absolutely made the evening, hands down.
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Emily! Thank you - you guys were amazing! Compliments from fellow musicians always go a long way. We hope to bring the party to you guys again soon!
I wanted to take a moment and write a review for Rob and his phenomenal team at Backbeat Entertainment in hopes that future wedding couples may see them from a different, more helpful perspective, that of a fellow wedding vendor.
I've had the ...
pleasure of working with Backbeat on numerous events, and I'm here to tell you- they rock. As a veteran in the wedding industry, I've seen every reception imaginable, but the love and energy that these guys seem to bring out of their guests sets them apart from any other vendor I've worked with (so much so that I felt it should be acknowledged here). The band is incredible. They are genuinely happy to be guests at these wonderful events and to be working with each other, and you can hear it in their music. It's the reason that me and my staff are consistently blown away when we share the same wedding events, and the reason I've witnessed almost every guest up and dancing from the beginning of the reception to the very end.
Do not hesitate. Book them now. You will not find better.
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Lorene, you've blown us away! Thank you for trusting us and for being such a pleasure to work with! Looking forward to making more memories!

Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Thank you, Jake! We are glad you've enjoyed our amazing entertainment and hope to keep bringing it to you!
I had the most amazing time being entertained by this very talented and entertaining group last year! They were very organized and professional, and had their own sound technician who kept making sure that the music was perfect all night. The b...
and was engaging and the dance floor was packed. I was impressed by how passionate the musicians were - they obviously love what they do. There were multiple singers which allowed for a big selection of songs that really showcased their talents. It was refreshing to dance to a band that could play songs from a variety of decades and genres (80’s, 90’s, 2000’s,...pop, rock, country...) and their song choices were on point. My only problem was that I couldn’t take a break from dancing because I didn’t want to miss out! If you’re looking for a band for your next event, do not hesitate to hire this band - you won’t regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Aisha, sorry we wore you out on the dance floor. LOL! We had a blast brining the party to you. Appreciate you so much, and hope we can work together again!
Rob and his team at Backbeat are simply the best in the biz! By choosing them to handle your entertainment needs, you'll be given a high level of attention to detail, personalized service, and experienced expertise. Rob and Backbeat can handle ...
virtually any type of event, and take the time to find out what your specific interests and tastes are, and then they'll put together an act that will make the event a truly memorable one. Everything from awesome talented musicians to sound and lighting packages, I can't recommend them enough!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Thank you for your kind words, Sean. We appreciate you so much!
Coming from a family of musicians, it was really great to work with a company and team that really knows the ins and outs of the industry! I was very excited to learn that Rob is also a musician, so that made me feel like everyone, myself and g...
uests included, were in really great hands when booking the band for my sister's wedding. Everyone was on time, professional, and sounded incredible - they even let my dad (you guessed it, also a musician lol) jump up and sing a song with them. Everyone had such an amazing time, I’m so thankful to have found Backbeat! HIGHLY recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Bri, your dad rocked it! We had so much fun at your sister's wedding, and glad to hear you guys feel the same. Thank you so much! :)
I have personally and closely worked with Rob and Backbeat entertainment several times. The attention to detail, punctuality, and the way Rob works with his clients and venues, making the process easy to understand; you can just tell the pure p...
rofessionalism. And onto the entertainment side, you can clearly see and feel the unforgettable moments that are created when Backbeat Ent. is on the job. What other company can get every single person on the dance floor singing along to the perfect playlist all night?! Clearly no other entertainment but Backbeat Entertainment.

Thank you, Sergio! We do love what we do!
A great band from Backbeat played my cousin's wedding last year! Lovely acoustic guitar during the ceremony, a saxophone player during cocktails, and a full band with a horn section during the reception! The band leads were engaging, the musici...

Rob and Backbeat entertainment were amazing In providing entertainment for my sons wedding in March at Casa Feliz in winter park. We had a five piece band for the reception and a violinist for the the cocktail hour. I cannot say enough about ho...
w helpful Rob was in planning the day!! He answered all questions promptly and totally took the stress out of a potentially stressful process. What a talented and fun band!!! They kept the crowd engaged and were immediately responsive to requests Such a fun ,memorable evening and we owe a lot of it to Rob and Backbeat. I highly highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2020
Thank you Jane, it was our pleasure to perform for you guys! Best of luck to the whole family :)
Phenomenal! I can honestly say that our wedding would not have been the same without Backbeat Entertainment. The talent and the energy of band made the event so much fun and had the crowd on the dance floor the entire time. In addition to th...
e actual performance, the organization and professionalism was such a relief. With so many things to coordinate for the wedding day, Backbeat Ent. made the process so stress free. They took our requests and preferences into account, however they were also able to offer suggestions and advice on how to make the evening flow smoothly.
Without question, I would hire use this company again for parties, weddings, corporate events, etc. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2021
Brien, thank you so much for trusting us as the entertainment for your wedding. We loved being a part of your special day!
As the father of the groom, I can claim absolutely no credit for the band selection for our son’s wedding, but I can say without reservation that they were the most entertaining and professional group of musicians I have ever seen at an event l...
ike this. They were so energetic, personable and interactive with the crowd (over 200 people), especially the wedding couple, that all were on their feet dancing and singing, and everyone commented afterwards on what the band contributed to this special occasion.
The music was arranged through Backbeat Entertainment and included an acoustic guitar playing for the garden wedding ceremony, a cool sax playing during cocktails, and then the full 7-member band rocked the night away following dinner. The variety of music, including spontaneous requests and surprise guest performances, was truly impressive and flowed seamlessly from beginning to end. I don’t see how the music could have been better organized and executed.

Bev, so glad we could be a part of your son's wedding. We had a fantastic time performing and are thrilled to hear that your family and friends enjoyed the entertainment. Look forward to celebrating again soon!
Backbeat Entertainment's Breezeway Band blew us away. Rob helped us with turnkey entertainment for our wedding weekend - a jazz trio at our welcome reception, a ceremony pianist, a jazz duo at our cocktail hour, and a fabulous 6 piece band at t...
he reception. We work in the commercial music industry, as do many of our guests, and everyone was so impressed with the array of amazing talent showcased throughout the weekend. I would strongly recommend booking Breezeway Band for any corporate event, private party, or wedding reception - they made each of our events so special! Thank you Rob!!

band. We continue to hear from friends and family that it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding! Even the staff at the venue couldn't say enough about the entertainment. All of the musicians and singers were accomplished, professional, and performed seamlessly. Backbeat Entertainment not only worked within our budget, but consulted the bride and groom about their playlist. All ages had a blast and we couldn't have been more satisfied.

Is there any possibility of getting the set list that they actually ended up playing? If not, no worries. We just thought it would be fun to have that so we can keep re-living it :) We can recall many of the songs, but probably not every single one.
Thank you!!
Emma
