We worked with Blitz Nation for our wedding in Pioneertown, CA on 9.13.25. We had an 8 piece band with two vocalists and the energy was AMAZING!! The entire band was so insanely talented and our crowd was engaged and on the dance floor for the entire night. We wanted a slight deviation from the traditional set of wedding band songs and we were able to curate a set list based off of their song selections that hit the nail on the head. Matt, the ceo, was very knowledgeable in the wedding band scene and was really able to guide us on picking the right music to influence the type of party that we were envisioning. We wanted a high energy, can't get off the dance floor night, and that's exactly what it was. When we say the band was talented, it doesn't do it justice. These are clearly true professional, top tier performers/artists, and we felt like we were at a show vs at a wedding (which we wanted to feel). They transformed our barn venue into a concert/dance floor experience and every single person at our wedding came up to us to tell us how insane they were!
We also used blitz nation for the day at our ceremony. They coordinated the use of AV systems and an MC (DJ Lit!!) who wrangled the crowd, managed our music for the day, and set the stage for a day of celebration and an evening of partying. He also DJ'ed in between our band's set list and it was honestly electric. He really knew how to work a crowd and it all felt so natural and not like a cheesy copy and paste experience - it all felt very customized to us, our crowd, and our style.
We are so grateful to Blitz Nation for truly letting us "do us". It was more than we ever could've hoped for or expected and as true music fans we felt very strongly about who we brought on board for this essential part of our day. We'd choose them 10x over again!!!

We couldn’t have been happier with the entire sound and entertainment team for our wedding weekend. The country duo that played during our Friday welcome event was phenomenal — incredibly talented, warm, and the perfect way to set the tone for the celebrations ahead. They created exactly the relaxed, celebratory vibe we were hoping for.
Beyond the live music, Blitz Nation handled all of the sound and AV for our ceremony, cocktail hour, rehearsal dinner, and reception, and everything was truly seamless. The audio quality was top-notch, cues were executed perfectly, and the whole operation felt polished and professional from start to finish. We never had to think about a single technical detail — they just handled it all.
And DJ Tay X absolutely crushed the after-party. She fully understood our vibe, read the room perfectly, and kept the energy high through the very last song. It was the perfect way to end the night.
We’d recommend this entire team without hesitation.

We had the Late Night band be our wedding band/DJ combo and they were absolutely the best! Everyone commented on how great they sounded and they had everyone dancing. We wanted everyone to have something they could relate to and they created the most perfect blend of new pop and classic hits to have everyone from the teens to the 70s dancing.
Working with Jayme and Rob was also an absolute dream. There was never any request that wasn’t met. Rob asked what kind of vibe we were going with and made suggestions on bands he thought we’d like. There was never any pressure to use them or have a bigger band or anything like that. He also was so patient when we changed our minds and asked for changes.
Jayme then followed up and asked what songs we wanted them to play and allowed us to change the set list as we saw fit. We were also able to ask for what singers we wanted.
They also did our ceremony, lighting, and our photo booth which was fantastic so we didn’t need to have a million vendors. And they’re the only vendor that took credit card which was nice.
You absolutely can’t go wrong with Blitz Nation for the best entertainment for your wedding! So easy to work with and they sounded amazing. They really are perfect!

I used Blitz Nation to provide a acoustic guitarist for my wedding ceremony about a week out from the ceremony due to some previous vendor plans falling through. I cannot express enough how kind, caring, and communicative Blitz Nation and the team they have, including the musician, were through the entire process!
They made our ceremony so special by filling every song request we asked for and on such short notice. We will definitely be recommending and using them in the future for any events we have!

We worked with Blitz Nation for our wedding, and they completely nailed it. From the start, they were so easy to work with and made putting together the music and entertainment feel effortless. Our DJ had our vibe down and kept the dance floor packed all night, and the sax player was having just as much fun as the guests. Everything came together perfectly, and we couldn’t have asked for a more fun and seamless experience.

Hiring Rob and his team may have been the best decision we made in our wedding planning process.
Everyone was professional, communicative, helpful and excited to help make our vision come to life on the big day and made the planning process so easy.
On the day of they brought the fun, energy and excitement to keep the party going the entire time. Every single one of our guests was blown away by their talent and how much fun they were. Legitimately, all anyone could talk about that night and the next morning was our band and DJ!
Do yourself a favor and hire them immediately. I promise it will be the best choice you make, beyond saying yes to your fiancée.

Blitz nation absolutely rocked it at our wedding this month. They flew out from LA to Jackson Hole for a 24 hour trip without complaints and showed up ready to party! We had a DJ Live band with DJ Dorion (5/5 stars), a trombone, a saxophone, percussion, and trumpet. Everyone was so lively and amazingly talented. Each of them performed for the crowd and completely immersed themselves in the wedding. We met with Dorion a few weeks before the wedding to go over our wishes, playlist, and vibes and he completely delivered. We had a last minute request for our grand entrance and they accommodated without any issues, complaints, or additional charges. Would highly recommend this band/DJ. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as fun without them.

Bryan Neville and the Blitz Nation team were the absolute highlight of our wedding! Bryan kept the dance floor packed all night, reading the crowd perfectly and making sure everyone had the best time. The sax, electric violin, and drums were next-level – they brought so much energy and made the party unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about it!

Our wedding planner recommended Blitz Nation because we wanted instrumentalists during the ceremony. We hired "Sunset Strings", a violin and guitar duo, after watching their videos online. They sounded great playing a fun song for the wedding party walking down then trasitioning to our slow, romantic song.
We recently hired them again for our Christmas party at home. This time we hired the "Jayme Palmer Band" for a livelier vibe. They played a mix of holiday and contemporary songs. The singer and musicians were excellent and each one was professional, polite and courteous.
They are responsive and friendly, very easy to book. Honestly, we are wondering what party to have next to hire Blitz Nation for!

Book them, you absolutely won’t regret it.
They were one of the bigger ticket items on our budget and were worth every penny. These people are PERFORMERS, top tier talent and I can’t stress that enough. Not only are they singing, they are dancing, chatting with guests, starting dance offs, etc. 10/10 never looked back.

Blitz Nation played for our wedding reception and we were blown away by their energy and sheer talent. Everyone in attendance was raving about their performance. It was also an incredibly smooth process to work with them — from payment to song selection and everything in between, they were a breeze to work with (which, when you're planning a wedding, is a miracle). Highly highly recommend!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Blitz Nation for our wedding reception at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, CA, and they truly made our celebration unforgettable. From start to finish, their team was phenomenal, providing the perfect soundtrack to our special day and ensuring that our guests were entertained and on the dance floor all night long.
Blitz Nation went above and beyond our expectations in every way. Their DJ, Peter, skillfully curated a playlist that perfectly matched the mood and energy we wanted for our wedding. Every song choice was spot on, keeping the atmosphere lively and our guests excited. The seamless transitions and expert mixing kept the energy high from the first dance to the last song of the night.
What truly set Blitz Nation apart, however, was the incredible performance of their band members. They didn't just play music; they brought the party to life. Their interaction with the crowd was fantastic, creating an engaging and dynamic experience that everyone loved. The band members played along with the songs, adding a unique and personal touch that made the night even more special. Their ability to read the crowd and keep the momentum going was impressive and ensured that the dance floor was packed the entire evening.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was. Blitz Nation created an electric atmosphere that made our wedding night an absolute blast. Their professionalism, energy, and talent were evident in every moment, and we couldn't be more grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped us create.
We wholeheartedly recommend Blitz Nation to anyone looking for top-notch entertainment for their event. Their team is exceptional, and they will undoubtedly make your celebration as memorable and enjoyable as ours was.
Thank you to Blitz Nation for making our wedding day so magical and for keeping the party going all night long!

UPDATE: We did end up getting a response with a thorough explanation and they did seem to want to genuinely make things right so this rating has been updated to reflect that.
This review will reflect the live musician services of Blitz Nation we experienced via booking Second Song.
We were beyond excited for the live music as guest entertainment was one of our top priorities for our wedding. There's no feeling like the one live music provides. In fact, this was the deciding factor for why we went with Second Song over the dozens of highly rated DJ vendors in the LA/OC/IE area.
The String Duo that showed up for our ceremony was great; arrived early, was very professional and played the selected songs wonderfully. Unfortunately, we could not say the same for Jay, the Saxophone player, whom we booked for 2 hours as the surprise performance and finale of our wedding.
On the day of the wedding, the Saxophone player was a no show. We got zero notice and he could not be reached by our planner. The ultimate nightmare right? We were told that Jay had a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to record with a prominent artist which went overtime and he selfishly notified Blitz Nation and Second Song at the last second.
Blitz Nation apologized for this and sent us a small $150 Ticketmaster gift card to make "new memories" and "put this behind us" only after we told them how disappointed we were.
Unfortunately, you will only ever have one wedding, there is never a second chance... Tens of thousands of dollars spent for this one day, just for your planned wedding night finale to go MIA. You will never have all of your family, friends, and loved ones (who flew in from out of the country, traveled thousands of miles, booked hotels) together at the same place and time to share this experience. This may be one isolated event, but this happened to us. If you ask me, for a wedding, one is one too many. When we think about this, we are still sad and disappointed.

We booked Blitz Nation for our wedding, and the team is incredible. I'd highly recommend them to anyone planning an event where music will be an key piece of the night.
Our ask from Blitz Nation was fairly comprehensive - we wanted DJ services across guest arrival, cocktail hour, and dinner; with a different vibe for each section. Then we had live musicians with a DJ (what they call Blitz Fusion) for 3 hours at our reception.
The team worked with us for months ahead of the event to craft the vibe. They picked a DJ (Bryan) who was the perfect match for our event. Then they selected live musicians who put together an amazing performance, interacted with guests, and hit the dance floor themselves (something we requested).
Specific shout out to Rob and Matt - they're the best and made our event go super smoothly! Couldn't imagine a better team to work with for our wedding night.

We worked with Blitz Nation for all of the wedding entertainment for our big day on the recommendation of our wedding planner. Rob was extremely organized and helped us with the details from start to finish. He was very responsive in answering any questions or concerns leading up to the big day. Blitz Nation made everything so easy and they provided all of the entertainment for our wedding: acoustic guitarist for the ceremony, DJ for cocktail hour and dinner, MC for announcements, an AMAZING band, and a DJ for late-night karaoke! The talent was extraordinary. Our guests could not stop talking about the music, and the band especially.

Blitz Nation and Fortune West Band transformed our wedding into a full-on concert experience! From the moment they took the stage, it felt like we were transported to the front row of our favorite music festival. Their presence was electric, igniting the atmosphere with an energy that was palpable throughout the night.
As the night unfolded, it became abundantly clear that we weren't just hosting a wedding; we were curating a once-in-a-lifetime musical extravaganza, and our guests knew it. The seamless blend of their setlist felt like a carefully curated playlist, weaving through genres and eras with the finesse of seasoned performers.
With each song they played, the crowd became more enraptured, swept away by the infectious rhythm and enthusiasm of Blitz Nation and Fortune West Band. Our dance floor was packed the entire night! To say that they were the highlight of our special day would be an understatement; this was a masterpiece.
They delivered a performance that transcended mere entertainment; it was a testament to their unmatched talent. Their ability to connect with the audience on such a profound level is a testament to their artistry and professionalism.
To Blitz Nation and Fortune West Band, we extend our deepest gratitude for infusing our wedding with the magic of music and transforming it into a concert experience that will be cherished for a lifetime.
If you're searching for wedding entertainment that transcends the ordinary and elevates your celebration to extraordinary heights, look no further—Blitz Nation and Fortune West Band are the epitome of musical excellence.

His music planner makes it so easy to add songs from Spotify playlists. Rob closely followed our desired playlist. We really wanted a wedding full of dancing and fun music and that is what Rob provided. While all weddings have last-minute adjustments, he thoroughly ensured everything proceeded smoothly. Rob dressed nicely and was very professional. Thank you Rob for being a part of our special day and for making it so memorable!

Rob & the Blitz Nation team were such an epic crew to work with! They made us feel like their number one priority from start to finish, and delivered an absolutely incredible experience making our wedding dreams come true. Every song was a crowd-pleaser; the Viva band was so lively and entertaining; I don’t think one person left the dance floor for 3 hours aside from refilling their drinks lol My wife and I got married at Cielo Farms in Malibu and even with a strict 10pm noise ordinance, DJ Rob completely nailed an unreal silent disco set — even the guests who had initial reservations re: the silent disco said they couldn’t believe how much fun it was. We cannot endorse Rob & Blitz Nation enough. 12/10 recommend through and through. Wedding of a lifetime.

Blitz Nation was a one-stop shop for all of our wedding entertainment! They were quick to respond throughout the entire wedding planning process and were more than willing to accommodate requests or wait for answers while I confirmed details with my venue. We were able to book our DJ, 9-piece band, full ceremony PA setup, and all lighting additions (up-lights, dance floor wash, and stage lighting trees) through them on one easy invoice. They also have the option of renting a photo booth! They were incredibly self-sufficient and low-maintenance - they were even able to do a near-silent soundcheck while guests were on premises! The DJ did a fantastic job on timing of important songs and was a great MC, being on the mic just the right amount.

We hired Fortune West for our wedding. We could not have had more fun, and a better experience. We wanted something that was not your typical Wedding band, and was going to keep the older guests dancing, but still give our friends the perfect kind of party too. Fortune West provided exactly what we wanted. All our guests said it was the most they had ever danced at a wedding, and we have got nothing but compliments ever since.
They are also very easy to work with, quick to reply, and made it a complete experience from start to finish. Hire Blitz Nation and you will have a packed dance floor at your Wedding!!
