We had The HeadLiners, part of Changing Lanes, as the band for our wedding and they were awesome! They played a great set with many different types of music that had us and our guests dancing the whole night, and knew our first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son songs too. CJ was very responsive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding even with all the little last-minute questions. Thank you CJ and Changing Lanes!
Based on our own experience, we would strongly discourage anyone from working with Changing Lanes. If you want good communication, a wedding day centered around the music you like, not what the band leader wants, and an empathetic vendor to work with, in our own experience, you will find none of these things in CJ and Changing Lanes Entertainment Group. CJ, the band leader of Changing Lanes and manager of Changing Lanes Entertainment Group, made the wedding planning process even more stressful and difficult than we ever could have imagined. We were going to use Changing Lanes for our September 2020 wedding and when we had to postpone due to COVID-19, we could not get in touch with CJ. In all our attempts to communicate with him we informed him of our new date - the only one available next year given these unprecedented times. He failed to respond to our texts, emails, and calls and by the time we heard from him (months later) he informed us that he was unable to perform on our new wedding date. Rather than express empathy and kindness during these stressful times, CJ made it feel like it was our fault that we could no longer work together because we didn’t plan our wedding around his schedule. He even went so far as to suggest we move the date of our wedding, despite the fact that all our other vendors were able to work with the new date. He then proceeded to tell us that he “doesn’t do weddings for the bride and groom, he does it for those in attendance” so that he can “get [his] next gig.” This was in stark contrast to all our other wedding vendors who were understanding, flexible, communicative, and empathetic to our need to replan the wedding due to COVID-19. In our experience working with CJ, he made it very clear he doesn’t care about those getting married beyond the financial gain he can get from them. He took our deposit without giving a penny back. If you want a communicative, responsive, professional working to make your day unique and special to you and the planning of it stress-free - look elsewhere and ask how they handled their clients during this global pandemic.
CJ and his crew are incredible! The best band out there! sure to make any event a smash!
Changing Lanes Band and The Headliners band are unbelievable! The Headliners performed at our wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and they were out of this world. They have an amazing sound and tons of energy. Our guests all agreed that they were one of the best live bands they've ever heard. CJ is fabulous to work with- responsive, flexible, and a great personality. The band had our guests on the dance floor all night long- they know all the party favorites. You will not be disappointed and we would hire them again in a second!
The Changing Lanes Experience performed live at my nieces' wedding! They were absolutely phenomenal! Upbeat, fun, high energy, powerhouse voices, and excellent song list!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening! We danced all night and went home with big smiles!
If you want the experience of a LIVE BAND - Changing lanes Experience is the band YOU WANT!!!
Thank you getting us old people up and dancing!
Changing Lanes Experience is one of the most fantastic bands I have ever heard, and I feel so fortunate that we were able to have them at our wedding! They brought all of the guests to the dance floor from the very beginning of the evening until the last song, and they were so engaging and fun for our entire group. Our wedding simply would not have been as fun and memorable both for us and our guests without having them there; I would highly recommend Changing Lanes Experience to any couple who is looking to have a fantastic wedding event!
They turned our wedding into a party! It was such an amazing night they are truly an amazing band! I want to relive the night over and over! So much fun!
