e day of, the support of all of our decisions, all of the preparation that I know went into the performance, and - most importantly for us -the pure joy they exuded during the entire reception that was contagious. We couldn’t have been happier.
We chose a somewhat untraditional song for our first dance, and they were more than willing and excited to play it. It’s a memory we surely will never forget! They did a beautiful job and truly played the best playlist. Our wedding was the week before Christmas, and countless guests that attended have since told us that Backbeat created the warmest and happiest environment, and we could not agree more.
If you are looking for a live wedding band for your big day, Backbeat is absolutely the way to go! From the minute they were hired, we were treated as though they had no other clie...
nts.....which we knew was not true! They were always available to answer questions, provide input, and work with us to make our musical dreams a reality. Planning a wedding is stressful, but they made planning the music a breeze! From providing background music during dinner service, to playing our song for our first dance, their professionalism and musical talent was clearly evident. Throughout the evening, they provided a fun and inclusive atmosphere that kept our guests on the dance floor having a great time. I can confidently say our wedding would not have been as much fun without them. We were so impressed with them that we have hired them to play at other events as well. I have no hesitations in recommending them, I know you will not be disappointed.
