We absolutely enjoyed the music from Bold City Classics for our wedding. So many of our guests asked where we found the band. We danced to all the classic songs and everywhere I lo...
oked our family and friends were laughing, dancing and have such a great time. They truly made our day and were so easy to work with. We talked through so many details to make sure our day was perfect - and it was better than perfect it was a "Bold City Classic" type of perfect!
Don’t think twice about booking Bold City Classics, just hope they are available! They were incredible and kept the party going the entire night. The dance floor was packed, and ...
we can’t count the number of guests who positvely commented and asked about the band. They did a great job with our three custom songs (First Dance, Father/Daughter, and Mother, Son) . We also booked the instrumental music for the ceremony and a duo for the cocktail hour - the music the whole night was phenomenal and definitely worth the wedding investment!
Cortnie and Paris rocked the house at my wedding! I am so glad we booked them! All of my guests loved them and it made our night so memorable!
They were incredible. Do yourself a favor and book this band. Based on the size of our wedding (200+), we went with the 7-piece, and they also played our cocktail hour which was in...

They also perfectly switched up the music for the dinner portion and dancing portion. Our dance floor was completely packed and everyone had a blast, thanks to BCC.
Their musicians were absolutely amazing!! I really can’t say enough good things about them. If you are planning a wedding in the Jacksonville area, I would highly recommend them. Almost every wedding guest came up to us to tell us how wonderful BCC was!!
This band was so upbeat, lively, and read the crowd well at my nieces wedding in FL. Definitely made everyone forget about the torrential day long rains that impacted the outdoor t...

Hi, we had The Bold City Classics play at our sons wedding reception here in beautiful Amelia Island. WOW! Is the one word that I would use to describe the spectacular performance...
that this 12-piece band blasted out onto a completely packed dance floor all night. The Bold City Classics (great name) with their multiple horns, and 3 vocalists were the best live band performance that I’ve ever seen at a wedding reception. We are so glad that we hired Sarah and the band. The band had to learn a rendition of a song for the bride and groom dance……nailed it…….and the vocalist had to learn the Natalie Merchant song, Kind & Generous, and nailed it! If you haven’t had a chance to go listen to this band, you can find them, but with the time it takes to book spectacular bands, which everyone will remember (we had our family and guests of all ages coming up to us all night long, and letting my wife and I know how great the band is) at their wedding……just get them booked!
This band ushered in our dear friend’s wedding reception like a fruit smoothie on a hot day!!! The dance floor could hardly contain the multitude of dancing feet accompanied by a s...
ea of smiles. Their repertoire was an expanse over several decades, genres and all the classic dance tunes. I personally loved every minute of the beautiful, yet effortless, voices and instrumental finesse. This band has all that and the bonus is they have fun!!! I would recommend them for any occasion.
Bold City Classics is AMAZING! They played for my wedding reception and they did not disappoint! They are incredibly gifted musicians who know how to start and keep a party going, ...
and they even learned to play our first dance song and the song for my father/daughter dance, which was really special. Got tons of compliments about the band and the lead singers, and would definitely use them for an event in the future!
We can’t thank you all enough to for being a part of our special day! Every guest said you guys were the best band they have heard and we completely agree!
Thank you all so much, we had an absolute blast!
We hired the band for a fundraiser. We are already planning to have longer music and dancing next year! I hope to get you booked again soon! You all were amazing.
Chris Thomas Band was incredible at our recent wedding! Not only were they flexible with our (multiple!) reschedulings, but they also added a second singer which was the perfect c...
omplement! Having a live band to set the tone was important to us & Chris Thomas Band was perfect - highly recommend!
If you want to impress all your family, friends, and guests and want them to have the best time possible, hire the Chris Thomas band! They are the best band in the first coast are...
a! Their talent, energy and stellar showmanship really can't be beat! Chris' voice and the band's musical talent put them in a class all by themselves. Everyone, I mean everyone loved them and raved about how much fun they had! Their song selection was perfect. They don't just play instruments and sing, they put on a show as good as anything I have seen even in Vegas. They play all over the first coast area, so do yourself a favor and hire them, you will be a fan forever! Thanks Sarah, Chris and the band!
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for The Chris Thomas Band.... the professionalism, great communication, and FANTASTIC performance at our wedding this past weekend at The ...
Treasury on the Plaza in St. Augustine was EPIC! This band was amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend them to ANYONE looking to host an event, wedding or otherwise. I can foresee them at our anniversary parties in the future! Thank you again for making our special day nothing short of a fairy tale.
--XOXO Steve & Katie Grout! ❤

The Chris Thomas Band brought high energy and a great rich sound to our Wedding! We used the 8 piece band and the musicians are top notch! Chris Thomas is a great singer & entertai...
ner. The variety of music from Big Band to Top 40’s had everyone dancing! We received so many compliments!
Please read - I cannot say enough good things about The Chris Thomas Band. I had happened upon the CTB through social media. I had been searching for a while for a lively, fun band...
- not just a wedding band. When I saw a video of one of their sets, I instantly knew they were the ones. Not cheesy - just a passion for music and creating a FUN + welcoming environment. Not to mention the talent they have.
We were blown away from the beginning. We were first put in touch with Sarah, who was always responsive and helpful - she put my mind at ease from the very start. The entire planning process was easy, and I had total trust in them to make our wedding dance floor perfect.
And oh MAN they did. Out of all the positive comments about our wedding, the CTB took the cake. They had EVERYONE on the dance floor - even those who swore they wouldn't dance! Every single song fit the crowd perfectly, and no one wanted to leave! I can 100% say our wedding would not have been the same without them. We are grateful for the experience we had, and for the memories they gave us!
The Chris Thomas Band played at our wedding reception and they were phenomenal! Amazing from the first contact. Sarah Lee (Band Manager) was a life saver! She was so wonderful t...
o work with, she made everything so easy and so amazing! Not sure I would have survived without her expertise.
On our big day ... The Chris Thomas Band was unbelievable, they showed up early to make sure they were set up and ready to go.
Everything was above and beyond perfect. The Band is second to none! Chris Thomas has an amazing charisma, he led the reception from beginning to end. He was so skilled that he even managed to get my 85 year old grandmother, who never danced a day in her life, out on the dance floor!
My only complaint was that it had to come to an end! I highly recommend the Chris Thomas Band to anyone and everyone who is in need of a band!
We booked Chris and 2 others for our wedding reception, a small event but knew we had to have Chris perform. The entire event could not have went better and a lot of that was beca...
use of Chris and band. They were incredible. Most of our guests were from out of town and had not had the pleasure of hearing them in the past and the reviews were all 5 Star from them. Everyone asked if they would travel and if they could book themselves for an event in the future. I would highly recommend to anyone. The energy, excitement and talent of Chris and band is better than words can describe. You will not be disappointed, just sorry it ever has to end!
We had Chris Thomas Band for our wedding after seeing them at local events around Jacksonville and we loved their energy.
Throughout the process they were extremely responsivenes...
s with any questions we had leading up to the wedding. They even shifted the performance time back an hour about three weeks before our wedding which was very helpful to us!
We had some special song requests and they learned them and absolutely perfected our requests! Chris knows all types of songs from Sinatra to Taylor Swift and performs them all incredibly well!
They will have everyone on the dance floor all night. Chris and the bands energy just flows through out the event!
There is no other band we would have wanted to be there on our special day.
Thanks to Chris and the team for being there on our special day. You all made it even better!!
