After having to postpone our downtown Austin, TX wedding from April to June 2020, cutting our guest list in half, and then changing our venues twice at the last minute due to Covid...
-19, Chinatown Band stuck with us through it all. They were the absolute hit of our wedding - so many people have reached out to us after to get their contact info. They played classy dinner music (Sinatra, Buble, etc.) during our seated dinner, then went straight into the "party" portion of the night for 2.5 hours straight with no breaks. They play everything from Garth Brooks, to modern day pop hits, to a fun 90s medley that got everyone out on the dance floor. Even my 93 year old grandma got up for some of the classics! They ended the night by having their three horn players 'New Orleans second line' us out of the venue - another highlight. Can't say enough good things about Chinatown Band - they're the best!

worth every penny.
Chinatown Band is AMAZING! My husband and I first saw them perform at a wedding in the summer of 2016. It only took seeing them once, and I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding...
. Three years later when we were engaged, Chinatown Band are the first ones we called. Before we even booked the venue, we booked Chinatown Band.
Of course you want beautiful wedding photos, and a gorgeous dress, and a delicious dinner. But if you choose Chinatown Band, your wedding will be truly memorable for your guests and they will talk about your wedding for years to come. Chinatown Band are ROCKSTARS and they made us feel like it too. Kenny was so professional throughout the process, and he really wanted to make sure they put on the best show possible that represented us as a couple. He took all our notes and suggestions into account, but I definitely recommend letting them do their thing! That's where they really shine.
I freaking crowd surfed at my wedding y'all! Chinatown Band RULES!
We absolutely can’t say enough good things about Chinatown! They blew us and all of our guests away! Kenny was super responsive from the moment we sent the first email and always s...
o nice. Their whole setup looked amazing and so professional, their song list was perfect - so fun and had all of our guests (of all ages) on the dance floor the whole night! We had so many guests comment about how amazing and fun they were. We even had a couple get engaged after our wedding and ask again about Chinatown because they liked them so much! I can’t say enough good things and if you are still in your search for a wedding band - stop right here! Thank you Chinatown for being everything and more than we hoped for!
We hired Chinatown for our daughter's wedding. They were the best ever!! They kept the crowd going and didn't take a break all night. I can't tell you how many compliments we h...
ave had from guests about the band. They were also so very easy to work with and were so accommodating in doing everything we asked. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!! FUN! FUN! FUN Time!!!
Chinatown was the highlight of our wedding reception!!! From the first song to the last song...they were absolutely incredible and the dance floor was on fire!! Each song was a hit...
and kept people on the dance floor. At the end of the night the crowd literally would not leave and demanded an encore. People were chanting “five more songs, five more songs.” And of course, Chinatown was so kind to stay past our agreed time and gave the crowd more songs. Also, they let us dance and sing on stage which I have NEVER seen before at a wedding. Even my 85 year old grandma was dancing on stage, which is a memory I can never forget!! Not only are they incredibly talented, they are also very nice and genuine people. They made us feel good on our wedding day and greeted us with smiles and compliments. Everyone wanted to know more about this band and how to hire them in the future! Hiring Chinatown was the best decision we made for our wedding reception. Thanks to this band it was the night we had dreamed of... and much more!!! I can’t thank them enough for the memories they gave us, our families, and our friends. It was an unforgettable night that we will never forget.
Book Chinatown Band right now!! They absolutely made our reception! They were intentional about making the evening special and memorable for my husband and I. From start to finish,...
our dance floor was completely packed! We would have sang and danced all night! Kenny and the band were so easy to work with and are so talented! They have a song choice for everyone with a wide array of songs to choose from. Our guests have not stopped talking about the band and how much fun they had dancing the night away! Chinatown Band was even willing to travel to Little Rock, AR, for our wedding, and we are so happy they did!!
Chinatown band was the BEST part of my wedding. My husband insisted on having live music and boy am I glad! I had only been to weddings with DJ’s, and I can’t stress the difference...
having a band like Chinatown makes. My guests were singing and dancing all night, and all made a point to let me know how amazing the band was!
Chinatown was a blast! Everyone at my wedding still talks about how much fun they had with the band at my wedding. Everything ran smoothly and they literally didn’t stop playing ...
for the entire reception. They are the best if you want to make sure your guests are dancing the entire night!!
We really enjoyed having Chinatown in Tulsa! They did a great job of building momentum throughout the evening. Super band!
For our daughter's wedding reception, Kenny Lewis and his team of talented entertainers BROUGHT THE BARN DOWN! They made sure we had our few special songs for the important family...
dances, then they took over and rocked the party! Our guests are still raving over how Chinatown Band made our reception the best they had ever seen, and thanked us for the best live concert they had ever attended.
Kenny recommended that we let them "do their thing" (minimize special requests), and we are sure glad we listened. They had the dance floor full and the chairs empty for the entire dance party.
We cannot wait to have another special event where we can partner with Chinatown Band again. Wow!!!
THIS BAND IS SO MUCH FUN!!!! They play the best variety of music and are so talented! They really know how to hype up a crowd and get everyone dancing. 20/10 would HIGHLY recommend...
!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, Chinatown for making our wedding the MOST FUN night ever!!!
This is our second family wedding with Chinatown as the reception entertainment and they were SPECTACULAR! The dance floor was full the entire reception, which is just what the br...
ide and groom wanted. They play a great mix of current songs and oldies. They have several top notch vocalists and a group of very talented musicians. They work hard up on the stage to give it their best.
If there were six stars I would give Chinatown Band six! Or ten! Bandleader, Kenny Lewis, is very professional and punctual. He was open to communication and making sure they kn...
ew very well our bride and groom's expectations. They are a high energy band and the musicians and singers have a huge variety of music. I cannot tell you how many people said "Who is this band and where are they based?" (Dallas, but come to Houston often). Our dance floor was packed until the last song, and people were yelling "One more song! One more song!" They also played at our groom's sister's wedding last year and that's where we found them. I HIGHLY recommend Chinatown Band. You will not be disappointed!
THE BEST! I've had the opportunity to work with Kenny Lewis and Chinatown twice now, and they have completely exceeded every expectation. My last event was almost a month ago, an...
d the main question I still get daily is about the band. They are truly fabulous and were a dream to work with. I can't say enough positive things about this group... but I think the biggest compliment that I can give is saying that I am already looking forward to booking them for another event.
Hiring Chinatown was the BEST wedding decision we made. Every other comment we heard from our guests was how perfect the dinner set was and how incredibly fun the party was. An ov...
erwhelming number of people told me it was the best wedding band they've ever seen and asked for the name of the band! They were super engaging with the crowd and kept the dance floor packed. The crowd, from 5 year old kid to 90+ year old grandparents, literally would not let them stop when their set was over and was begging for more! Kenny and his band are super reliable/professional. Really easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Also just overall nice and great people. They are willing to go the extra mile so that your day is just perfect. All of our special dances were performed perfectly. Any concerns or questions we had were addressed with the best service you can imagine. When I have another event in the future, I will ABSOLUTELY book Chinatown again!
BEST BAND EVER!!!! We booked Chinatown Band for our June wedding at the Historic Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX and our guest still can’t stop talking about how great they were! T...
hey did all of the music, from the ceremony to cocktail hour and then the reception, and we couldn’t be happier with the job they did! They kept us and our guest on the dance floor all night with their great mix of music and fun interaction with the crowd! If you’re looking for the best, then book Chinatown Band!!!!
Thank you Kenny Lewis and the entire crew of Chinatown for an unforgettable experience!!!! Can’t wait to see y’all the next time you’re in town!
We used Chinatown Band from Dallas for our wedding at The Baylor Club in Waco. They were over-the-top- WOW!
Kenny was super easy to book the date, contract was via email and he w...
as a pleasure to work with.
Chinatown was there early for set-up and was THE best part of our wedding reception.
When asked... What was the favorite thing about the wedding? Our friends and family said THE CHINATOWN BAND!!
They were so engaging !!! Going out onto the dance floor, and even an impromptu sing along to “Don’t Stop Believing” with the bride and groom on stage!! They were just awesome.
If they are not open for your date; change your date so you can have this band for your wedding . They are seriously the best!!
I don't write reviews, but I have to for these guys because they were that good. Chinatown was absolutely incredible! They exceeded all expectations and threw an epic live show. Gr...

Please, if Chinatown is available for your event date, book them! You won't regret it!
If you’re looking to have an unforgettable wedding, book Chinatown!! They came to Lake Charles and played at my wedding reception and were so amazing! They are so interactive with ...
the crowd & know how to get everyone on the dance floor. We have gotten SO many compliments on how much fun our wedding was from not only the younger crowd but also from our grandparents! They definitely MADE our wedding reception!

100% recommend hiring Chinatown for your wedding or any event! They know how to get the party started and keep it going all night! Every guest (young, old, single and married) was ...
up and dancing to their great music! Very easy to work with and they even learned new songs for the bride and groom first dance and father daughter dance - which sounded perfect! I can't say better things about this band and they made our night very memorable. Thank you Chinatown!!
Chinatown Band ROCKED our wedding… I was always in the mindset that a band didn’t really matter at a wedding, but my husband’s dad wanted one so we researched 10-20 bands in and ar...
ound the TX area and chose Chinatown. I was very VERY wrong! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how amazing they were. Everyone was dancing all night and kept commenting on how talented and great their performing was. At one point I turned around to see my grandmother jumping up and down with my college friends…. They were THAT good. As many bands can be, they were sometimes a bit challenging to stay in contact with, but with some follow up they always responded to emails, and what can you expect from an awesome, popular group? From their stage set up, to their performance style and the way they interacted with the audience Chinatown was the best. They made the night and I only wish we had had more time to enjoy it!
We used Chinatown for our wedding in Austin in March 2018. They were spectacular! Dealing with Kenny in the lead up to the wedding was great - he was very responsive and flexible a...
nd even had the band learn 2 songs for our first dance and father/daughter dance.
At the actual wedding, the music was awesome. They were great at reading the room - played a mix of pop, classic rock, and country. And they kept the energy level high throughout the whole evening. We got a ton of positive comments from our guests about how fun the band was -- friends and grandparents.
Would wholeheartedly recommend Kenny and the Chinatown band for anyone's wedding. Phenomenal experience!
My wedding was on 12.30.17 at Big Sky Barn. We knew we wanted two things an open bar and music. Chinatown Band did not disappoint. We first saw Chinatown band back in January 2017 ...
for a friend's wedding. We instantly knew they were a group we wanted for our wedding later that year. They are great to work with and are quick to respond back to you. They seriously made our wedding. They played all types of music and they get your guests dancing all night long! I would definitely recommend them to anyone for any occasion. We still have guests letting us know how awesome this band was and how much fun they had! So thank you Chinatown band for helping us achieve such an awesome and fun wedding!
If you're looking for the perfect band for your wedding (or any event), China Town is it! They exceeded everyone's expectations and our guests are still talking about how much fun ...
they had at the reception. My dad was very hesitant about getting a band because of the limited song choices and risk of the unknown, but THEY KILLED IT and proved him wrong. China Town has a huge variety of songs and were great at communicating leading up to the big day. They are an electric, talented, high energy, fun and interactive band. Thank you, China Town, for making my wedding reception so special and a night to remember for all!
Best Wedding Band Hands Down! I cannot say enough about this awesome and talented band! They were really easy to work with and are incredibly talented! They made our special day so...
memorable and fun! Highly recommend them to any wedding but be ready to dance all night
Chinatown band played at our wedding June 3, 2017. To be honest, my dad who is not musically inclined, found Chinatown band. We watched their promo clip and we were impressed. We s...
aw Chinatown band at Sambucca in Plano and thought they sounded great.
On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were completely blown away. The band was incredible and everyone was dancing THE ENTIRE wedding. The band played a great mix of oldies and current pop. Chinatown band MADE our wedding incredible! All of our guests were blown away by how amazing the band was! Hiring them for our wedding was the BEST decision ! If you want a band at your wedding , HIRE THIS BAND! You will NOT be disappointed!!!
We loved Chinatown band! They kept the energy up all night so the dance floor stayed full. Their song selection was great as well.
WOW! All of the guests are still talking about how amazing the band was at our daughter's wedding reception. All of the band members are so talented. Vocalists were great! They...
seemed to enjoy themselves as much as we did! Having live music really made the difference between a good reception and a great one. Hire Chinatown - you will not regret it!
My family and I cannot say enough good things about Chinatown. This group is the best cover band in Texas. Kenny was an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding, an...
d my venue and wedding planner both raved that the band was so easy and respectful to work with on the big day. Chinatown has an amazing selection of songs, and they know how to rock the house. They read the crowd incredibly well through cocktail hour, dinner, dances, cake cutting, and the party that ensued because of their amazing talent. They have the best stage set up, and these guys are in no way shy about getting off the stage and engaging the crowd on the dance floor. I have been to two weddings now with Chinatown as the band, and both times it is amazing too see every age on the dance floor until midnight. I have been married for six months now, and still the most common compliment from our wedding is still this band. Thank you, Chinatown, for an awesome party! I speak for my family and guests in saying we highly recommend this band to any couple!
We cannot stress enough the difference it makes have an amazing, live band at your wedding instead of a DJ. I could not have found a more talented, professional, fun, and energeti...
c group of people anywhere else!! Chinatown Band ignited the dance floor and kept everyone dancing for hours!! We had so much fun singing our most favorite songs and rocking out on stage with them!! Each person in the band was insanely talented and collectively they left everything they had out on the floor. Every guest wanted to know who picked the songs and where that band played regularly!! Chinatown band was the main event of the reception and we loved every second of their performance!! We can't thank them enough for making our wedding a night we will never forget!! We only wish they played regularly in Austin!! Hire this band!! They are the best out there hands down!!
I am the step-mom, and the one who helped select the band for my step-son's wedding. Of course I was nervous about the band for a wedding as they will make (or break) the receptio...
n. They are the one thing people mention first when reminiscing......endless reasons no to be worried concerning "the band".
Put your mind at ease if you hire Chinatown. They are highly professional, worked with the couple prior to learn some of their favorite songs, and clearly watched the ceremony (ours was in the same venue as reception) so they knew who the "key players were. They sang to my almost 90 year old mother in law with their 1st song; they sang with the groom's mom, etc all without being told who was who. This impressed us greatly. Their singing and musical abilities were extraordinary and they keep the guests on the dance floor.
I tried searching beforehand for some general public videos of the band from another wedding. This way I could ensure the songs played on their website were not auto-tuned but didn't have much luck.....so if you are trying that and have concerns; don't. I think you will be just as happy as we were.
Thanks again Chinatown.....next time we need a band, I know who I'll call.
Chinatown Band was fabulous at our daughter's wedding - of course, that was no surprise to us. Catching several of Chinatown Band's shows and getting to know the band over the past...
several months, we knew the band was going to be incredible at our daughter's wedding reception. In fact, Chinatown Band went above and beyond. Not only are each of the band members incredibly talented, more importantly, they are all extremely professional, energetic and fun. Everybody at the reception absolutely loved Chinatown Band's music and charm - each of the band members really connected with all of our guests!! Chinatown Band is unquestionably the best at what they do. We look forward to catching many of the band's shows for years to come. Thanks again for a job well done, my friends!!
We discovered Chinatown Band at a local pub near our home, and after that decided we had to have them play at our wedding!!! Kenny was so professional and easy to work with. The ...
band sounded amazing and we received so many complements from our guests. It was a nonstop dance party and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They even surprised us and took us up on stage to sing with them! Thanks Chinatown Band, you definitely made our wedding more special than we could have imagined! ~Betsy and Allan
Amazing band! Best decision ever to hire them for our wedding!!! People couldn't stop dancing and couldn't stop talking about how great the band was!! :)
Chinatown Band is the band to hire for your wedding! They are so full of energy and their professionalism shines through from the booking to the packing up after the wedding. They ...
are so easy to work with and will take most requests to either have the dj play your song(s) or learn them to sing them for your event. Everyone at our wedding was very impressed at how awesome Chinatown is! They made our day even more special!
Great band! These guys are hip, fun, and sound amazing! They are sure to keep the dance floor full at your wedding!
