I hired the Bread & Butter band for my daughter’s wedding. They were AMAZING! They were very professional. Showed up early and set up quickly. They communicated with me the wedding planner and the venue well. They have an awesome sound and we danced for 4 hrs straight. I would definitely hire them again!
We had Bread & Butter perform at our daughter’s wedding and it couldn’t have gone better! Everyone there agreed it made the party really great. Lot's of dancing all night, pretty much says it all. Plus we got a lot of comments about how good the band was. It wouldn’t have been the same without this band.
Glad we had Bread and Butter do the gig!
Best Wedding Band EVER!!!! We are so happy to have had Bread and Butter at our wedding and reception. Communication and responsiveness were great. They are extremely talented and play a variety of songs to ensure the dancing goes on all evening!! Our guests thoroughly loved them and so did we!!!!
Any questions?
My only "must have" for my wedding was a band and The Bread and Butter Band did not disappoint! We had a 6-piece band on our rooftop wedding reception and they were amazing. They played songs suited for all generations and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Our guests are still commenting on how great the band was!
Bread & Butter was an EXCELLENT wedding band! We initially thought we would hire a DJ, but we are so glad we decided to hire a 7 piece band instead. Before the wedding, they sent a questionnaire for us to fill out any special requests and specific songs that we wanted them to play (or not play). The day before the wedding, we decided to include some traditional New Orleans music and they were so accommodating, even with a very last minute request. I believe there may have been some initial confusion about a microphone for our officiant, but they remedied that so quickly that I never knew it happened until well after the fact. They perfectly spaced out all of their breaks so that they could cover our entire cocktail hour and reception. Even when they played recorded music during the band breaks, it was always fun and upbeat. When the band played live, they sounded great and kept the energy level way up! Everyone absolutely loved them!!
This band is amazing!!!! We chose a 7 piece band and they did not disappoint. They were very easy to work with and accommodated all of our requests, including our lengthy ‘do not play’ list and a special happy birthday request. They had the dance floor going all night long. They even endured a little colder weather to keep the party outside all night. So thankful for them being a part of our day, highly recommend!!!
Bread and Butter was phenomenal!!!! It was because of your great music that EVERYONE said this was the most fun and happy wedding they have attended. So many ( even the older crowd)
stayed for the last foot stomping set…it could’ve lasted longer. And your special request songs were spot on! We are deeply grateful for your talent, professionalism and easy going manner.
Bravo!!!
Bread and Butter recently played our wedding ceremony and reception. We had a trio of string instruments (guitar, cello, violin) play during the ceremony and then a 7 piece band for the reception. Our original band had to cancel with less than two months notice before our wedding day. THANKFULLY Bread and Butter was available and extremely accommodating with such short notice. The band was beyond professional and communicated very easily and effectively to make sure our wedding celebration would be the most special. My wife and I wanted a night where everyone was on the feet dancing the night away and B&B delivered exactly that! If you want an incredibly talented group of musicians to get the party started and keep the energy high, then book break and Butter for your wedding!!
Absolutely a highlight of our wedding was the live music, and we couldn't have picked a better one! B&B were amazing and as musicians, we received many compliments of our choice from our colleagues! Alex was great at keeping in contact, and helping us decide the flow of the music! They have so many options for how your music is split and we loved hearing the small combo during our cocktail hour and full band during the reception!
B&B Band is awesome! Alex is professional and was easy to get in touch with and coordinate with in the days leading up to our wedding. Thank you all again for such an excellent experience and a great performance!

Thank you so much Harrison! What a beautiful wedding. We had a blast. LOVED the gold confetti at the end of the night. Thank you again for trusting us to be a party of your wedding. We wish you guys nothing but the best.
We loved B&B! They were fabulous during our reception but we also really appreciated the ease of communication. Alex is great to work with and always responded to our questions promptly. He made us feel at ease during the planning process. Their song list was also much more extensive than other bands we researched. Would highly recommend :)

Thanks Rachel! We had such a great time performing for you and your guests! We wish you a long and happy marriage!
A high energy, fun, and well-rounded band was priority one for our wedding day and I was completely blown away! My guest will not stop talking about Bread and Butter. The dance floor was packed all night. The group played everything we requested and made a point to really get to know our taste in music. Alex was an awesome MC. My guest are still asking me about the band. I am so lucky to have found such a talented group! Thank you, Bread and Butter, for the MOST INCREDIBLE night.

Thank you Rachel! We had a blast at your beautiful wedding. Thanks again for having us!
Literally above and beyond my expectations. Alex was amazing and easy to keep in contact with leading up to the wedding. The entire band was extremely professional and sounded so good! I can’t tell you how many people came up to me saying how much they loved the band my husband and I chose! Keep up the good work guys you were the best band ever! Recommending to everybody!
Bread & Butter are so much fun! They brought great energy to our wedding and you can tell they all enjoy playing together. Everyone danced throughout the wedding and they even helped announce cake cuttings etc so that the party flowed smoothly. Alex can really sing and they have such a wide range of songs they can perform- from rap to the classics these guys rocked the house. I give them my 100% recommendation.
Bread and Butter performed at our wedding ceremony and reception. They are true professionals and amazing musicians. Our wedding was two years ago. The only thing our guests can remember about that day was how awesome the band was! We agree!
People are still talking about how wonderful Bread and Butter was at our wedding! They not only are super accommodating, playing all the songs we asked for, but also sound amazing, have a variety of band members to create the perfect sound and are a ton of fun!! Alex was so easy to work with which is exactly what you need from a vendor!! Would definitely recommend them for an event!
Bread & Butter Band was the highlight of our perfect beach wedding! From the moment we booked them, they were organized with a band timeline and questions pertaining to their part in the wedding. Always a quick response time from the booking manager. Our guests kept asking who our band was the entire night! They have such a wide range of songs and played a mix of old & new, as we had asked them to. They really helped the "flow" of the night go perfectly and were aware of when to slow the music down or amp it up! The dance floor was packed the whole night, and even overflowed into the other wedding spaces! We cannot say enough good things about Bread & Butter Band. We would recommend them to anyone as they were worth every penny.
Bread and Butter were absolutely amazing and they kept the party on the dance floor the entire evening! We were so happy with their professionalism, organization and they catered to our every need. Sounded perfect and they brought so much energy to the night! Cannot thank them all enough!!
We hired Bread & Butter and when I tell you Alex and his band surpassed all of our expectations, OMG! We picked out songs, they knew them all! We were invited to listen to them perform before our wedding and we fell in love with every singer and band member. We hired them as a 5-Piece Band and I will definitely hire them for any of our family upcoming events! They played every song I wanted and to hear their acoustic set as I was walking down on the beach to meet my groom made me cry happy tears! Alex is professional, has the greatest disposition and was extremely attentive to our musical palate.
Our 1st dance began with my husband singing lead and playing rhythm guitar with the band. Alex and the band not only welcomed this but enjoyed it! I will never forget this moment for as long as I live! Our family has not stopped talking about our wedding and we owe so much of this to Alex and the band members...
I am just trying to think of something I can host to have them again!
We had an amazing time working with the band! Before we made our decision Bread & Butter invited us to hear a few songs while they were warming up at a local wedding. It only took one song to convince me (and my parents) that they were the perfect fit for our wedding.
Alex has been running his company for many years and is very professional, responsive to emails, and a blast to work with.
The band plays a variety of genres and works with the crowd. We had a few guest that hadn't been impressed by wedding bands until they heard Bread and Butter! The guest were in love music and didn't leave the dance floor. We HIGHLY recommend Bread and Butter!
