The Ever After Band was hands down the most exciting, rewarding and special part of our wedding - and the best decision we made. I can't recommend them enough.
Choosing EAB:
From the moment we ended our first call with Rich, my husband and I looked at each other and said, "so we're obviously booking with them, right?" We called him back immediately and booked them on the spot.
My husband and I are VERY picky about music, and the quality + range were hugely important to us. But finding the right balance of price and talent is difficult. EAB got multiple rave reviews from other brides on the NJ Brides FB group, and their pricing seemed surprisingly reasonable for their size, so we looked into them and immediately fell in love.
Rich had the best personality and seemed so much easier to work with than the other bands we researched. He is a true musician with incredible vocal range, and while other bands seem to assemble whoever is available at the last minute, Rich and his band work together like a family. You can trust that who and what you see in their videos is what you'll get on your wedding day. For reference, we booked the 6-piece band.
Unmatched Talent & Energy:
And what you get is absolutely incredible, nonstop energy and talent. Every single one of our guests - of all ages - continues to rave about the music, and my single friends plan to book them for their own weddings.
My husband and I have an eclectic range of music taste, and we wanted to make sure there was something for all ages at our wedding. The EAB delivered more than we could have ever imagined. They played oldies, Frank Sinatra, '90s throwbacks, hip hop, classic rock, and an absolutely incredible rendition of Crazy in Love that included Rich rapping, his wife singing, and their sax player coming out on the dance floor and delivering the most amazing solo I've ever heard! Our guests went crazy!
We had 240 guests, and the dance floor was packed all night long. We also had the privilege of seeing EAB perform at our friends' wedding, and they did just as amazing of a job performing to a smaller group (~100 guests).
Attention to Detail:
EAB treated our first dance and parent dance songs with such care, which meant a lot to me - especially since all of ours were mashups of two different songs (starting with a slow song and moving into a fast song), and we took dance lessons - meaning every beat and measure had to be exactly like the original recordings. I was nervous about it, but the EAB did an absolutely phenomenal job, and all of our first dances went perfectly!
Genuinely Great People:
Their talent speaks for itself - and believe me, they are even better live than what you will see on video - but what made my husband and I fall in love with this band from day 1 was their personalities. Rich was so kind, supportive and encouraging from beginning to end, and all his band mates share that compassion. I gave a speech at my wedding, which I was nervous about, but when I got up on stage I felt like I was being greeted by my best friends. Every single one of them was just so sweet and friendly! The next day, Rich even made an IG reel video capturing our wedding with the nicest caption, and it made us feel so special.
Your wedding is a special - and stressful! - day in your life, and you want to be surrounded by partners whose talent, care and personalities you can trust. I can't recommend this band enough!
