time! There were even people there who are not “band people” and they could not stop talking about Cherry Crush and how much they enjoyed them. We were so grateful for their professionalism and energy! The set list they created was so perfectly us; we could not have planned it better ourselves. Our guests (and us) were dancing all night. I promise you will not be disappointed when choosing them for your wedding or any event really!

nnot thank them enough! 10/10 would recommend.

XTENSIVE list of popular songs... that was even broken down into parts of the night (i.e., first dance, father-daughter, etc.)!! We chose a somewhat different song for our first dance which was "Hand Me Downs" by Mac Miller. Not only was the band so excited to perform this live, but they absolutely KILLED it. We told them the exact time stamps that we wanted for our songs and they were perfect. We also hired the band to provide music for the ceremony and the cocktail hour. For our ceremony, I chose a specific piano version of a song and for the precessional which were both not very common and they of course slayed that too. My night was sooooo busy and Candice helped keep me on track because I most likely would have just danced all night. Honestly, I don't even recall them taking their dinner break because they transitioned so smoothly and played great dinner music. We have a picture with the band in our wedding album, that's how much they made our day!!!

lay anything! Their outfits were awesome and they even had some set choreo! Really they went above and beyond, Candice was an amazing "MC," making sure we hit all of our key events (bouquet toss, cake cutting, anniversary dance, etc.). They brought such an amazing element to our wedding, everyone was truly on the dance floor all night, even people who never dance. We couldn't keep people OFF the dance floor even to eat their dinner! While their performance the day of was flawless, I also need to give them credit for the entire planning process ahead of time. They were such wonderful communicators, very responsive, and I felt in such good hands. Both Candice (band lead) and Laura (ECE lead) were so helpful.

o be apart of our wedding day. Ian and Janelle set up a meeting with us a few months before the wedding, to go through timelines, must-have songs, and any other important information. They answered every question for us and made us feel like our wedding was a priority. On wedding day, our guests were on the dance floor the entire time. The band engaged the crowd and really understood the vibe we were trying to go for. Thank you so much Modern Luxe for making our wedding even more memorable. XO Nicole and Jim

never seen a wedding with that many people dancing the entire night!" "Your Band was electric!" "The band sounded great and had so much energy!" Modern Luxe is very easy to work with, both Ian and Janelle do a great job of sharing their experiences and offering insight into the wedding night. Modern Luxe has a great song list to pick from and they do a great job of working in songs everyone will want to hear. They also will learn a few songs if it is not on their list. We emphatically recommend Modern Luxe for your wedding reception because of their performance and professionalism and flexibility.

hoice to make!) and Kaitlin still sent us the kindest message wishing us well on our wedding. Absolutely 5 out of 5 for a thoughtful and professional inquiry experience.

the evening telling me that this was the best band they've ever heard perform at a wedding and they truly are! Candice, the band leader, is fabulous, she met with us multiple times prior to the wedding to run through details and really listens to what we're looking for. We highly recommend them for any wedding or event!!

so many people asking us for their information to pass along.

TASTIC...so accomodating and so easy to work with. They performed all of our requests flawlessly...some we didn't even give them until a couple of days before...from counry music to pop and old classics to Metallica!!! And Katie's energy was contagious! Everyone was dancing and having so much fun. They even allowed my son to join them which was the highlight of my night. I really can't say enough about how much we (and our guests) enjoyed the band. It was probably the most nerve-wracking of our wedding decisions and I am over-joyed that we went with Cherry Crush!!! From the ceremony (that had to be altered at the last minute due to the weather) to the cocktail hour to the reception...they truly knocked it out of the park for us!!!

tumbled across them during a YouTube deep-dive of local wedding bands and immediately told my now-husband I'd found the right band. We reached out in Sept 2021 and asked if there was any opportunity to see them live before we booked. They didn't have any upcoming live shows at the time but immediately invited us to stop by one of their rehearsals, where we were greeted warmly from the moment we arrived. They played a few songs by our request, though within 30 seconds we confirmed we were sold, and then were friendly enough to all sit and get to know us for a bit. They met with us again closer to our wedding date to confirm all of our song choices for the big moments, even enthusiastically agreeing to create a surprise mash-up of my dad's song choice and a childhood favorite of ours for our father-daughter dance. On our actual wedding day, they were flawless from beginning to end. Their instrumental version of "Helpless" from Hamilton for my walk down the aisle instantly triggered tears. Our first dance and dance songs were perfect. Our dance floor was packed all evening, including friends and family who don't typically gravitate toward the dance floor, and we had an absolute blast. MLX even surprised us by bringing one of their singers who'd actually left the group since we'd booked because they remembered we'd felt drawn to him (though their new singer, James, is awesome, too!). You can tell that MLX really loves what they do and were genuinely invested in making sure our wedding was perfect. We can only hope that one of our friends hires Modern Luxe for their own wedding someday. Until then, we will definitely be seeking them out at one of their public shows so we can relive our perfect night over and over.

ce - which they did! I think more people complimented the band than anything else. I could not recommend them enough.

to practice. So many guests came up to us at the after party to gush about how great the band was. We would give them 6 stars if we could. Going with Modern Luxe was easily the best wedding-planning decision we made.

pletely understood the vibe of the crowd and delivered. Every guest complimented on how great they were. They hit every genre for every person in the crowd!

in our tight turnaround, from the very first day, Marty (drummer and band leader) was overwhelmingly friendly AND calming. In the hectic environment of wedding planning, that makes a huge difference! The band put on a performance for the ages! Honestly, everything about it blew us away. Cherry Crush nailed the first dance song, the father-daughter dance and mother-son dance. We felt like the father-daughter song in particular came with a high degree of difficulty, but they crushed it!  All night, we had people coming to us talking about how awesome they were (even the venue staff who see bands 3 days a week raved about them! “Where did you find them? They’re incredible!”). The quality of the performance, the FUN & enthusiasm (they were having just as much fun as us!), the song selection, and the interaction with the party were all perfect! Full disclosure, neither of us got to see much of the cocktail solo because we were being pulled in so many directions, but we did get great reviews from everyone we talked to for song choice and the general vibe. The one brief moment I walked by for like 7 seconds he was playing one of my favorite songs and in that short time I was totally jamming to it. Perfect vibe for the cocktail hour, the venue and time of year.  And Caity (female lead & MC), oh my lord is her enthusiasm infectious! She was so awesome with us the whole night. Her announcements were great and she knew exactly how to play the crowd all night! And the fact that she let me (groom) come on stage and sing a song was really the “cherry” on top of the whole night for me! Then she got the bride up there for a song too! We got to be rock stars for a night! One under-the-radar thing that really impressed us (and I don’t think we expected) was that the band never really took a break except for dinner. They rotated in and out to make it continue for the whole night (probably workable because we got the additional musicians). We were also super pleased with the dinner music and the dance sets in between announcements and courses of the meals.  There’s really no shortage of awesome things we could say. Cherry Crush was absolutely PERFECT for us and would be for any other wedding! Gina & James May 25, 2023

a private concert! Modern Luxe matched the energy of our guests knowing the exact right time to play a slow song and when it was time for a classic sing-a-long. Modern Luxe was extremely communicative from the second we booked them through our wedding day and even went above and beyond and sent us a personal recording of our first dance to practice to beforehand. They helped us plan out our timeline and made the entire night an absolute blast. This is your sign to go book them right now! They are amazing!

they have ever heard. They had the crowd dancing from the moment they started playing and it never let up. The band is very versatile and not only plays all types of music but also reacts to what the crowd is doing and tailors the music accordingly. All band members were having a good time too and that further raised the energy level of our guests. There were actually times I drifted close to the stage just to watch them play for a while as I really enjoyed their musicianship. They closely worked with us to make sure the event was tailored to our interests and learned and nailed the special songs. I can’t recommend them enough for a wedding or special event. We were truly lucky to have them! They made our night

never want anyone to experience what we did on our wedding day. To start, they played the incorrect version of the song I chose to walk down the aisle with my father to. As you could imagine the moment waiting to walk down the aisle with my father, hearing the wrong song made me so upset. We waited to walk down the aisle until the correct song played. Heads were turning and it was apparent that people knew something wrong was going on- it was utterly embarrassing. Prior to our wedding, we even set up/shared spotify playlists clearly delineating prelude songs, processional songs, and cocktail hour songs along with a timeline highlighting times, song names, length of song, and any additional information to know. After the ceremony, the band leader, Hajji stated “I’m sorry about the ceremony, we will make it up to you.” However, the opposite was done. Our coordinator, let us know that Hajji, did not have the correct line up for the reception entrances. Our coordinator had to scramble and quickly work with Hajji to fix this. Then he proceeded to ask our coordinator what the timeline was and she said she would touch base with him after introductions and our first dance, although a detailed timeline was shared with all vendors several days in advance. Against our wedding coordinator’s direction and our timeline, the band went straight into parent first dances. This threw off the catering timeline and timing of the first course, impacting the rest of the night. Tori mentioned that we were at least 30 minutes behind timeline because of this. During the planning phase, we chose 1 song for them to learn (per our contract) and that was “Beyond” by Leon Bridges, which was our first dance. The song was unprofessionally sang off of a piece of folded up white computer paper, which looks terrible in our photos. For the beginning of my maid & matron of honor’s toast speech, the sound was full of static and it was hard to hear them. This was not the only time the sound was not great as there were multiple times throughout in which there was high-pitched feedback noises. For having to pay a high cost that included a sound technician and additional 3h sound check prior, these issues absolutely should not happen. Per our contract, it stated the band received 20 minute breaks between each 1.5h sets. While we were having dinner, the band did not play live but played recorded music. In the wedding industry, it is typical that the band rotate out to eat their meals and this did not happen. The length of time the recorded/light music was played was exceptionally long. My husband and I went out to get sunset photos with our photographer and when we returned, the band was still not playing. When my coordinator tried to give the band feedback, they made it clear that it was more important that they sat down together to wait for their meals rather than entertain the guests/ bride & groom. The band was told to only play 2 slow songs and specified the songs to play (because they had special meaning to my family) and I have emphasized that I wanted a dance floor that was lively all night/this was the most important thing to us. I sent a document of song preferences and likes/dislikes on months before the wedding to the agent and Hajji. In the beginning of the reception, many more slow songs were played than I had asked for. I had my coordinator and two of my bridesmaids give feedback on my behalf. When approached with feedback about the songs being played, my wedding coordinator and bridesmaids were met with resistance and argumentative responses. ZERO of the songs on our “Like” list was played. To top this all off, our FINAL/CLOSING song was on our "do not play" list. The absolute best part was the band kept referring to the slow songs as “songs for the grandparents” when ALL OF OUR GRANDPARENTS ARE DECEASED. When relaying all of this feedback to ECE after the wedding, the responses were extremely slow and the main response was they are sorry that we experienced this and they have worked with this band for a long time and this is unusual. They did not return any portion of our money back as we requested and did not perform any further service recovery.

no one we’ve seen before! Their range is incredible, their song list is extensive, and they play something for everyone. Ian and Janelle are incredibly easy to work with; they are open to learning new songs for your special day. Above all else, they make it FUN to work with them and get you excited for this huge part your wedding vision. Invest in this band - you and your guests will have the time of their lives. Kaitlin Sweeney made the business side of the house a breeze; online portal for contract and payment; coordinating schedules so we could meet with the band. Exactly the kind of organization you need during this busy time.

my husband and I from a friend who had attended a previous wedding the band performed at. Exact same reaction: AMAZING! We booked Modern Luxe for both ceremony and cocktail hour/reception services. Whether you want a mash up of movie music (which is what we did) for the ceremony or request a line dance in the middle of the reception, these folks can do it all. Their repertoire of music encompassed every genre of music. After the first video call with Ian and Janelle, it was apparent to us that we made a very wise decision. We were so excited Modern Luxe learned new songs for our wedding. They knocked it out of the park with “Danger Zone” and “I’m Still Standing”. Where will anyone find a band who can nail The Backstreet Boys song “I want it that way” and excite a crowd with an incredible Disney medley? Modern Luxe is the definition of professional, fun, and flexible. They are experts in their musical talents and experts at crowd engagement. Their ability to read the crowd meant the energy of the reception never wavered. The crowd was still strong even at the announcement of the final song. All the guests raved about Modern Luxe. Modern Luxe allows couples to customize the configuration of the band with additional horn players, saxophones players, and even an electric violinist. My husband and I did exactly that and the result was spectacular. Booking Modern Luxe for your event will be one of the wisest decision you will EVER make. My husband and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend that you book Modern Luxe for your big event. They are simply THE BEST.

ad to shut it down. The song we wanted for our first dance was not on their song list but the band was willing to learn it and send a demo mp3 beforehand - we were so grateful they were willing to accommodate to help make our day extra special. My only disappointment is I couldn’t meet them because they all seem like the coolest people. Couldn’t recommend them more!

This band is the real deal with top notch musicians and vocalists that played an incredible assortment of tunes from all eras and genres. Highly recommend Cherry Crush.

uests said that they felt like they were at a live concert for a famous band rather than a wedding. Their lead singers performed songs even better than the original artists! Everyone had an absolute blast and danced the night away!
