Hiring Fat Pocket will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!! My husband and I could not be more happy with how amazing this band was and how much fun they made our wedding reception! It has been months since our wedding and we still have friends and family telling us that our reception was so amazing because of how great Fat Pocket was! They bring so much energy to the party and play a variety of music that all generations will love and have fun with! They are all very talented musicians but they also were so helpful and professional when it came to communicating with us and with managing all components of the reception such as introducing the wedding party and each speaker. I highly recommend booking them! We can’t thank them enough for being such an amazing part of our day!
If you’re looking for a band that will be the perfect combination of party and professional - you must book FatPocket!!! From the stage lights, to the audio for speeches, and especially the band talent & chemistry, they are the best. They brought the energy for 4 straight hours!
We loved working with Peter to plan the flow of the reception. He is so organized. They worked with us to only play the songs we loved, set the tone with our grand entrance, they learned our first dance and crushed it, dressed to the formal vibe, they used our specific Spotify playlist in between band breaks, and we were able to get on stage for Mr. Brightside. They even gave great honeymoon bar recs. They are ENTERTAINERS! And the kindest, most talented group - we love FatPocket!
FAT POCKET IS PHENOMENAL!! We knew Fat Pocket was great but these guys OVER-DELIVERED!! We are still smiling!!! They have such a great amount of energy and their music is soooo good! We loved the brass, the singers, the dance moves -all of it. They are true entertainers! We wish we could do it all over again!!
We could not be happier with how the evening turned out!! Your crew brought the magic and synergized all the elements into the most wonderful celebration. I literally could not pull myself off the dance floor. We had so. many. comments about the music being the best ever.
FatPocket was the BEST wedding band I could ever imagine having! They were a dream to work with throughout the planning process - accessible, easy to work with, helpful and always committed to working together to create the perfect party! They learned songs and then delivered them better than we could have imagined. They learned instrumental songs and let us slot in our own family singers. Lastly, the brought energy and exuded joy that helped set the tone for the MOST FUN evening! My husband and I are still receiving notes of "WOW" from our guests because of their performance. If you want the throw a party of a lifetime, book FatPocket (with the full 11 piece band!!!)!
They played at my Son's reception on July 15th. They were absolutely incredible and kept the pace of the reception going the entire night. I haven't seen a better production or interactive party band that provides the level of energy FatPocket brings. Highly recommend.
FatPocket is the absolute best and we were so glad we hired them for our wedding last weekend (July 22, 2023). If you are looking for the greatest entertainment for your wedding or event, look no further. They are so talented, have the best energy, and kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Working with Peter from booking, to planning, and during our event was amazing and seemless.
FatPocket was one of the highlights, if not the top highlight, of our wedding night! We were fortunate enough to have seen them perform a couple times prior to our wedding so we knew they could put on a show and bring a ton of energy to the night. When we were thinking about the wedding details, the first thing we both agreed on was that we needed FatPocket to perform and their availability helped us pick our exact wedding date!
They were incredible all night long, sang all of our first dances and were super accommodating in requests leading up to the big day. We've now seen them four times including our wedding and are trying to make it back to St. Louis to see them again (or crash a wedding they are going to perform at). By the end of the night they were more than just the band and seeing them show up in our photos, video and photobooth photos made us relive the night and it felt like we were there all over again.
If anyone is getting married and St. Louis in the foreseeable future (or getting engaged), my recommendation is to make sure FatPocket is available the night you want to get married because they truly made our night. If you can't tell we love them and still talk about what an impact they had on the memories we shared that night.
Thank you again FatPocket!!
From booking to the actual event, fat pocket band exceeded our expectations! Great communication and organization throughout and helped us throw a great party!! Our guests continue to bring up how great they were and we couldn’t agree more - so happy to have fat pocket be a part of our big day!
FatPocket is the BEST decision you can make for your wedding. They elevate the party to a whole new level. I first heard them at my friends wedding and immediately knew I had to have them at mine too. So… I legitimately planned my entire wedding around their availability because I knew my wedding would not be complete without them. They truly bring the PARTY and are so so talented!!!! They also are so communicative and work WITH you. All of our wedding guests have been raving about the band!!! They are totally epic, memorable, fun, and actually nice people. A million stars for the BEST wedding band in the business. Thank you FatPocket!!!!
Peter and his band gave us the best night ever for my son's wedding. They had us up and dancing from the moment the doors opened. The energy was electric the entire night; they even played beyond our scheduled ending time and security had to kick us out as no one wanted the music or dancing to end. Guests with music backgrounds even complimented us on the band. There is no need to look for a wedding band from out-of-town; we have all you could ask for in a band right here in St. Louis with Fat Pocket! Thank you so much for giving us the party of our dreams!
Fat Pocket is phenomenal, they were a hit with our guests; they couldn't stop talking about the band. People were on the dance floor from the start until the last dance. Peter is awesome to work with; made everything so easy for us, no worries. The band members are first class, so entertaining, high energy, fun interactions with us and our guests. Highly, highly recommend!
Fat Pocket had everyone on the dance floor all night long! The band was the most important aspect of our wedding for my husband and I, and we are so happy we went with Fat Pocket. They played the perfect mix of oldies and current hits that had everyone on the dance floor. They were super easy to work with and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!
Peter and his team were amazing. They over-delivered on their promise to keep people dancing. I can’t thank them enough for making the night a resounding success. We are still tapping our feet!
Peter and FatPoket put on such an amazing show for our wedding. Everything was perfect and they sounded amazing
They were especially accommodating and allowed my dad to play our first dance song and later some more music, it was such an amazing surprise ❤
Our guests cannot stop talking about how great they sounded and we are so grateful for them. Also, we appreciate the band taking for special time to comment on how "in the pocket" my little cousin, is. It meant so much to his parents to hear that as he can be a handful sometimes 😅 They are excited to see where music can take him.
Thanks especially to Peter for organizing everything and responding to all my emails, he helped keep me sane during the stressful few weeks prior to the wedding.
We can't wait to hear them all at your next public show. They have many more fans for life!
Fat Pocket was incredible! They were flexible and personalized the live music AND the music played during their breaks.
Fat Pocket was the focal point of the wedding — people couldn’t stop raving about their energy, singing, and brass! They came down on the dance floor and danced with us while continuing to sing and play their instruments. As the bride, it was an incredible performance and made our night! We couldn’t have asked for a better band and experience in working with them.

Peter is part of a great family, including his new son. His front office team and his partners on stage are an extension. Bottom line, they energized my daughter‘s wedding. Peter’s great-grandfather came to help with our World’s Fair in 1904 and his grandfather played in the symphony- look what the Schankman family has done for our region. Peter and his father, Steve-the “trumpet player” and philanthropist-continue their company, Contemporary Productions. We are so blessed to have one of the best bands in the USA right here in St. Louis. We also chose an eclectic grouping of Heritage songs-ranging from French, to Irish to Russian and German that they played during dinner and breaks. We have taped them and they will be part of the memory of Stellie and Vlad‘s special day. Thank you Fat Pocket! Thank you for the first dance – “ You Are So Beautiful—Stellie sure is!
— Pierce the Dad
Easily the best decision we made through the wedding planning process! The dance floor was completely packed the entire time thanks to FatPocket. They were so fun and even came into the crowd with their instruments which kept everyone engaged. I already have friends that have booked them since our event because of how fun they made the reception. I also recommended booking an additional hour because you will not want them to leave! I’ve received compliments on the band from almost every guest following the wedding. You will not regret booking them!
The band was exceptional - arguably the best investment we made for our wedding! Their song selection, the talent, crowd interaction and excitement wowed not only us but the entire reception. We received many compliments on the band from our guests, and we could not have enjoyed their performance any more.
The FatPocket band was excellent. Communication was clear prior to the event (shout out to Gretchen) and they MC'ed our wedding and were able to accommodate any requests. All of our guests talked about how awesome the band was. Highly recommend!
Choosing FatPocket to perform at our wedding reception was by far the BEST decision we could have made. They were absolutely amazing. They took care of all of our emceeing for us which was extremely helpful and ensured we stayed on schedule. Our guests included a range of ages from 21 to 80s. They played recent music and older music that all guests absolutely loved. Our dance floor was packed all night. We have received countless compliments about the band. We even had guests say their spouse who doesn't typically like to get on the dance floor, got on the dance floor. I can't say enough good things about how great FatPocket's performance was, and their communication along the way. 1000% recommend!
Fat Pocket was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. They got everyone up and dancing as soon as they started playing. They are so energized and really bring a fun flare to the wedding. You have to have Fat Pocket at your next event!!
Where to even begin with this band!! I first saw them back in 2018 at our Town’s fair, and told my best friend that one day they’d be at my wedding. We just got married in January, and the best decision I made other than saying “I do” was booking FatPocket. If you want a nonstop PARTY at your wedding, this is the best band in St. Louis. The dance floor was constantly packed, even my grandma was dancing in her seat. The members interact with guests and keep the energy up high. My guests still say to this day that it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. The band members are all great and Peter has been very quick to respond and easy to work with. We even saw them recently at Westport Social and they remembered us and we got to chat with them which was so fun and special. If you are wanting a blast of a wedding that people talk about for months, look no further!! FatPocket is hands down the best band in St. Louis.
Safe to say we, and many of my family and friends, are now groupies and keep track of their public shows!!!
We loved the band so much! The dance floor was packed the entire time and they brought such a fun energy. The music was fantastic both in the songs they chose to play and the talent of the entire band. So great!
Fat Pocket was the entertainment for my daughter's wedding reception. They are talented, fun-loving, engaging and energetic. The dance floor was packed all night with both my friends and friends of the bride and groom. That says it all!!
Wow, I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible Fat Pocket is!!! When we booked Fat Pocket for our wedding in 2019, we went to their public shows whenever we could (River City Casino, Westport Social and the Regalia). They were AMAZING at each show and we knew we made the right band decision!! Each band member is extremely talented, high energy and go the extra mile with choreographed dances. When we had to move our wedding due to COVID, Peter was understanding and easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he answered any questions we had and made us feel at ease about the musical logistics of the night. They were SO MUCH FUN at our wedding and exceeded our high expectations! The dance floor was packed from the first song to the encore. They sang our First Dance song which was special to have it performed live vs just a recording. The band was very interactive with the crowd and I will never forget them performing “Proud Mary”!! No one wanted the music to stop and our guests danced the entire time! Everyone at our wedding is a huge Fat Pocket fan now and we are getting endless compliments about how much fun the band was. I can’t recommend Fat Pocket enough if you want your wedding dance floor to be a blow out party!!
Oh what a night! FatPocket played for my daughter's wedding and they were magical. Peter was wonderful to work with and the band members were all excellent! Fun, fun fun!!!
We had Fat Pocket at my wedding and all night guests came up to me saying how incredible and fun they are! They really know how to keep a party going and entertain a crowd. They play a fun mix of music so everyone feels engaged. They honestly made the party I can't recommend them enough!
Fat Pocket put on an incredible performance that our guests are still raving about many months later. Fat Pocket brought a contagious energy and unbelievable amount of talent. Our guests danced the whole night through without taking a break because of how much fun they were having. They were a breeze to work with and catered to all of our wedding personalizations and needs. I recommend Fat Pocket to every single couple looking for the perfect band for their wedding celebration.
The best band ever!!! I started dancing at the first song and never stopped til the last and I was the Mother of the Bride. It was the most fun night and I am still receiving compliments from guests. It was so easy to make decisions with Peter. I never felt stressed or worried. The band itself was interactive and totally engaged with our guests. Thank you Fat Pocket for making the night magical!!
Fat Pocket was the highlight of our wedding! They had our wedding guests up and dancing from the very start of the event. Peter was communicative and helpful during the planning process, ensuring that everything would run smoothly for our wedding. Many of our friends and family members raved about the talent of the band. Thanks to Fat Pocket for an unforgettable wedding!
FatPocket was absolutely amazing at our reception!! We postponed our reception three times due to Covid and we made sure that we picked a new date that FatPocket was available - and I am SO thankful we did! Every time we talk to family and friends about the reception, the first thing everyone says is "That was the best band I've ever seen!!" When it was time for the reception to end nobody wanted to leave the dance floor!
The perfect band for your special day!! For weeks and weeks after our wedding, one of the most common themes amongst our guests were the compliments they paid to the band. The music was lively and upbeat, and kept our guests of all ages out on the dance floor for the entire evening. Can only hope to attend a wedding in the future where FatPocket would be playing. The band made for a very memorable evening and would certainly recommend to any friend or family member.
Everyone loved you guys …you went beyond our expectations in so many ways! My hubby, who doesn’t say much, was so impressed with you and commented on how much everyone enjoyed your band. And you were so wonderful to work with this “newbie” in wedding planning. Your patience, suggestions and expertise were so appreciated.
Your musical talent, amazing voices, and your “presence” was second to none. However, joining people on the dance floor was the best and really sets you apart from other bands. Loved it!!! I think I can safely say you have 240 new followers.
Anyone considering Fatpocket for a wedding venue you will not be disappointed. Peter was amazing to work with and promptly responded to all my questions. Very professional and wonderful band!
FatPocket is THE BEST. We had them for our wedding and let me tell you, it's now almost a month later and we are still having guests reach out for the band name and telling us how amazing they were. They were so much fun, high-energy, and interactive on and off the stage. They had a mix of oldies and current bops that all guests loved to get down to on the dance floor. Such a talented group of musicians and performers. Thank you FatPocket and Peter for providing an amazing musical experience.
I cannot recommend FatPocket highly enough! Not only is the music great, but they bring the energy and make it a party. They also were willing to learn a song that wasn’t part of their normal set list that my dad wanted as our father daughter dance. It was an all around great experience working with them!
Fat Pocket played for my daughter's wedding and they were outstanding! You would never have known that they had missed a year of playing due to Covid, they were that well rehearsed. They also learned two new songs not currently on their play list that were important to my daughter. They played without taking a break even though we didn't ask them to, so that really kept the momentum of the evening going. They were totally worth waiting for!
As far as bands go.. we cannot day enough amazing things about this one!! Hiring Fat Pocket to perform for our wedding was one of the first checks on our planning list and easily one of the best parts of our day. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was a task on its own, but working with this group made the day that much sweeter when it finally came around. Guests matched our praise for these guys with the rave reviews even still a month out from our wedding! The quality of the performance Fat Pocket gave to our evening was filled with more energy than we could have even imagined!
The group was amazing to work with as far as details and directions go, very transparent and always quick to respond to any and every email sent their way.
Hiring this band is one of the easiest decisions to make if you are looking for a high energy, incredible sound and vocalists, and interactive group of beyond talented individuals to keep your dance floor flooded and guests screaming for encores well into your night!
FatPocket played my wedding back in August and absolutely CRUSHED it! Super easy to work with and accommodating during Covid. We had to move our venue and they worked with us along the way to make sure everything went off perfectly.
Amazing songlist, tons of mashups, the BEST female singer I've ever heard at a wedding and OMG the horns! They're one of the more expensive bands we looked at but worth every penny. Book them if open and you won't regret it.
I saw Fat Pocket years ago at Westport, playing a gig. From that moment on - I knew I wanted them to play my wedding if I ever got married. Found the guy eventually but I knew I already had the band! ;) I even picked my wedding date around their availability. Even with COVID - and postponing a month - they were still able to make it work. This was their first show back in months and they knocked it out of the park. Everyone raved about them and I am thrilled it all worked out. Thanks!
We were one of the lucky COVID couples that were actually able to get married. From rearranging guest lists, to new venues, to completely replanning everything less than one month out, the folks with FatPocket were beyond comparison. They did a great job keeping in contact with us and being VERY responsive to our crazy plans. Customer service is BIG for me and FatPocket blew away all of my expectations.
As an added bonus, every single person who congratulated us that attended the wedding mentioned how amazing the band was. They played for hours and my new bride and I never left the floor. Thank you FatPocket for making our wedding perfect even during the middle of a pandemic.
I don’t know where to begin. Fat Pocket is by far the best wedding band in St. Louis! They are all so talented, they get the crowd moving! I never left the dance floor.
I’m definitely going to go to their concerts in the area. I’m now their biggest fan!
BEST BAND EVER! From the beginning, they were extremely easy to work with, all the way up to the wedding! We told them we wanted lots of crowd interaction and THEY DELIVERED! Oh my gosh, people are STILL talking about it. They walked through the crowd with the instruments and danced with everyone it was a freaking BLAST! I cannot recommend this band enough if you want an unforgettable night and a packed dance floor. Their energy is unmatched, and they can play just about any song you could think of!
We could not have been happier with FatPocket! They created an amazing atmosphere for our reception, and had everyone (including us) unable to get off the dance floor. They brought a great energy to their repertoire, and slotted into the evening seamlessly, executing all musical duties without a hitch. We cannot recommend them more highly, and hope to hear them play again soon!
We couldn’t have asked for a better band at our daughter’s wedding reception! From the first note to the last the dance floor was packed. They played such a great mix of songs, old and new. Not only are they phenomenall musicians and vocalists but they’re great performers , entertaining the crowd all night long with minimal breaks. So, if you’re looking for a wedding band, book Fat Pocket! They will not disappoint.
Fat Pocket got every one on the dance floor and once they were on, they never left!! My wedding was made so special because they delivered a high energy and memorable moment that night. This is the band to book if you want to experience an electric live band that will keep you dancing for days!!
August 17th Fat Pocket played for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!! This band had such a high energy all night! We continue to get compliments on how good the band was that night. They jumped off stage onto the dance floor to play which gave us such an awesome and magical experience. Fat Pocket created such a memorable moment for us at our wedding reception . They were lively, energetic, and so much fun!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for the best night!!
FatPocket played at our wedding in June and were amazing! Our guests still cannot stop raving about them. They are energetic, engaging with the audience, and played awesome songs everyone can dance too. I would highly recommend them for your wedding!
Fat Pocket was the best part of our reception! They are so upbeat and everyone was up and dancing. They play a wide variety of music that was appealing to all ages. I planned my wedding around Fat Pocket’s availability and they definitely did not disappoint. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a live band at their reception.
When you hire a band for your daughter's wedding you wonder what the effect your decision will have on the overall event? WOW There were numerous times we looked around the room to realize 90% of our guests were on the dance floor, I think that is my answer. Interactive, lively, talented, professional, moving & affordable........this band may be way to fun for the most of you! LOL We worked with Peter Schankman to set things up and knowing his Dad, I must say...look out "Dad" this band is phenomenal! They rocked the house from the time they started until we ended reluctantly. By far the best wedding band my 58 years have ever seen and we had many guests say the same! Book them now because we had many guests ask how they could book them! Fat Pocket, you were one of the key pieces that made the night...keep up the great work. The members of the band played numerous instruments, but the horn section is unbelievable. Singers are super! What more can I say, easily the best band of their kind in The Lou! Band appeals to young and old. Don't wear new shoes or your feet are in big trouble! Wish we could turn back the clock and do it all again!
This band is all you need for your wedding or special event! They brought the house down (literally on the ground dancing)! Our guests kept coming up to me saying how amazing the band was and it was the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. We still get compliments on FatPocket now months after our event. Peter was amazing to work with! I can't say enough good things about FatPocket! <3
FatPocket completely lives up to the hype! The instruments, energy and playing on the dance floor was incredible. Everyone was dancing and having the time of their lives.
FatPocket played at our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!!!! Peter Schankman was so great to work with during the planning process, and I was more than impressed with how talented they were live. As a bonus, they were so awesome at interacting with the crowd on the dance floor, even while playing and singing, and they went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time! My guests were talking about how amazing this band was nonstop at the wedding and they are still talking about it today - many people even asked me for their information afterwards. I highly recommend choosing FatPocket for your wedding, you and your guests will not be disappointed! Thanks again guys!!
Absolutely amazing band! They danced on tables and interacted with the crowd. We got compliments all night and they were probably what made our night most memorable. Worth every penny.
Fat pocket was the reason we keep getting compliments about how much of a good time people had at our wedding. They kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night and were a blast working with the crowd. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
This band is INCREDIBLE!! They had every single guest at our wedding dancing the night away. They played every great “wedding” song and more! You can tell they love what they do. I was amazed at how well they not only played the songs but performed on stage with some dances, they even came out onto the dance floor with their instruments getting everyone motivated to keep dancing. We ended the night by my husband and I going on stage to wrap up the party and that was a blast! Cannot recommend them enough!
This band was the BEST! The minute they started playing for our daughters reception the entire party got on the dance floor and never stopped dancing. They are so talented, played what we wanted, interacted with the guests and rocked our party. Everyone was dancing and that's what made the wedding perfect. Peter was the most amazing person to deal with, so easy and just so nice and professional. We loved them and will use them again. Compliments keep coming about how great the band was. The band members were sweet, out of this world talented and personable they wanted to make sure our wedding reception was perfect. Love FAT POCKETS!
The band, Fat Pocket just performed on March 2, 2019 at my niece's wedding at the Chase Park Plaza. Not only were they easy to work with, they were absolutely great. They were very knowledgeable when it came to the song choices that the wedding crowd wanted to hear and dance to. Fat Pocket had the crowd going for several hours which was so impressive. No matter the age everyone loved them. I would highly recommend them. They made the evening perfect!
Thank you Fat Pocket . You were just great!
THIS IS A REAL BAND! One of my "must haves" of my wedding was a real, live band. Did FatPocket ever deliver!!! EVERYONE is still talking about this band! One of my guests said "we went to a wedding and a concert broke out!" My dance floor was jam-packed with guests of all ages, which is exactly what I wanted. I may not have talked to all of my guests, but I danced with all of them!! Everyone knew the words to all of the songs. They have female vocals, male vocals, the HORNS! They are so interactive and fun!! That being said, they made me feel really special and the "star" as the bride. My 11 year old step son sang our first dance song (a Bruno Mars song) and the band invited him up to sing a couple more songs with them, which he was SO happy about. It was truly magical for our little boy to be included in that way. There are NO divas in this band - they are super gracious. My contact was Peter, who is also a member of the band. He was easy to work with, responsive, and guided me in the right direction. My husband is now stalking their schedule so we can go see them play again. One day, we will throw a party and have FatPocket play. FatPocket helped us throw an AMAZING celebration. We would book them again in a blink!!! THANK YOU FATPOCKET!
Wonderful band. Great to work with from start to finish. Our guests danced all night long!
Fat Pocket is the best! Months later, our friends are still commenting on how much fun they were. Can’t speak highly enough of them and their amazing music!
Having FatPocket at our wedding reception is by far the best decision we made and they were worth every penny! They were interactive, so friendly and easy to work with and the mix of songs they played kept the dance floor packed all night. I cant say enough good things about them! If you are looking for a St Louis area band for your wedding reception, look no further and just book FatPocket today!
What can I say that hasn't already been said? This band was amazing at our daughter's wedding last weekend. Every age group (pre-teens through senior citizens) was out on the dance floor the entire time--no easy feat to accomplish. The horn section alone is worth the price--and the fact that they came off the stage into the audience was very cool and fun. Prior to booking them, we heard them play at one of the local bars--and they were great--but they were even BETTER at the wedding. I was constantly being asked--"who's the band?--they are amazing". I am actually thrilled that some of the bands we had originally considered were already booked for the date of our daughter's wedding as that led us to Fat Pocket. Easy to work with and reasonably priced--you won't regret your decision if you pick this vendor. BEST DECISION EVER!
We couldn't imagine a better band for our daughter's wedding! Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night -- including the sophisticated East Coast guests who want to fly Fat Pocket to NYC for their events. Book them now before they become too famous. So easy to work with.
FatPocket was easily one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding! Music was very important to us for our reception, and our goal was to have guests on the dance floor all night. Thanks to FatPocket, we succeeded! FatPocket is easy to communicate with, reliable, and followed our do not play/play list, though we also wanted to make sure they had artistic freedom! They were energetic, learned songs for us, and played on the dance floor. They were great for all ages. Our guests raved about FatPocket —actually, they’re still raving over a month later! Would highly recommend to any bride and groom.
Wow! This band was everything I could have dreamed of and more on my big day! They were so much fun and kept the entire party dancing all night long! There wasn’t one person that did not enjoy this band. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Wow. Wow. WOW!!!! FatPocket was the icing on the cake of our wedding day. When I say we had a party... we had a PARTY!! We had a wide range of ages at our reception and EVERYONE was on the dance floor from the beginning to the end of the night. They worked the crowd and the horns even came into the audience to play Proud Mary. Was the highlight of the night! Our guests are gushing about the band and saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to. They were the best choice we made for our day and soooo easy to work with. Peter was extremely responsive and so easy to work with. They were so attentive to myself and my husband during our reception and made sure we were taken care of. Many of my guests asked for their contact info to play at future events. I couldn't imagine my day without them. Thank you Peter and all the guys/gal in FatPocket for the best night of our lives!
Fat Pocket is seriously the best wedding band in St. Louis. We are so happy we chose them for our big day. We wanted our reception to be lively and our guests energetic, which is exactly what happened. Fat Pocket kept not only the bride and groom on the dance floor all night but the entire guest list out there too. They turned the Art Museum into the best party we could have asked for! They play a wide variety of songs that keep all generations entertained. We even had a few engaged couples tell us Fat Pocket made them decide to switch from a wedding DJ to band. Best decision we made!
FatPocket performed at my New Year's Eve wedding and everybody LOVED them!!! I had countless compliments on how good they were. They were great performers and I loved how they utilized our reception space.
I would have written this review earlier, but 6 weeks after our wedding and I'm still wiping the smile off my face and resting my legs from dancing all night to the best wedding band the world has ever known. FatPocket was incredible! They started the night off by nailing our special dance songs (Prince and James Taylor back-to-back really highlighted their range) and then brought the funk all night long! The energy was addicting, bringing everyone to the dance floor. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding band, we are so thankful for FatPocket and recommend them to anyone and everyone!
People cannot stop talking about how great the band was!! I even had a special request for the band to learn a song that my dad could sing and they executed on that request seamlessly! I will recommend them to every bride that's planning her wedding for years to come. Seriously, if budget allows or there's wiggle room for entertainment for your reception, definitely go with a band (specifically FatPocket!) over a DJ. They brought so much life and fun to our reception that just flat wouldn't have been there if we had chosen a DJ for our entertainment. I can't wait for my little sister to get married so FatPocket can make a reappearance at one of our family weddings!!
I have worked with Fat Pocket on numerous occasions and they are always the hit of the party. They are also great with customer service prior to the event making sure that all the details are covered so the wedding goes off without a hitch. I always recommend that my clients hire this band! You won't be disappointed!
We had FatPocket play for our wedding this month and they were awesome! All of our guests raved about how great the band was and how they loved the interaction they had with the crowd! The band did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor and were SO easy to work with.!
Everyone was on the dance floor with Fat Pocket for our wedding. A week later and my feet are still sore from dancing! Total entertainers - they kept the energy high and the party going. Music was a priority for us in planning and booking Fat Pocket was one of the best decisions we made. They knocked it out of the park.
We booked FatPocket for our daughter's wedding last month. Wow!! This band is professional, talented and Oh, so fun! The guests danced from the first song to the last, and everyone had so much fun. People continue to talk about the band! They definitely rocked the party! We plan to see them again.
FatPocket is literally a perfect wedding band. They played everything from Motown to classic rock to rap (current kind and early nineties kind, so double bonus) to pop hits to dance party favorites. And they were SO engaged with the crowd - the dance floor was full from the second they started playing to four hours later when I had to forcibly kick people off of it. Exceptional choice and honestly can't believe how good the price point was compared to other bands in St. Louis, especially given FatPocket's range of talent and professionalism.
FatPocket was the band for our wedding in May 2017 and they were great - our guests loved them too! They were also easy to work with - we worked with Peter leading up to our wedding and he was very responsive to any questions as well!
At lumiere, the Fatpocket Band, was just excellent, fun and all excitement, great entertainment,, loved it.
Wow what an unbelievable night!!! We had the most amazing time at our wedding on 5/13/17, and we truly believe that the band sets the tone (hehe pun was definitely intended) for the night. You guys did a phenomenal job and the energy level was consistently high! Can't tell you how many compliments we got about the band! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night!! 5 stars FOR SURE!
This band was amazing!! As soon as they started playing, everyone was on the dance floor and no one stopped dancing the entire time. They switched it up through out the night and came into the crowd to dance, sing and play - which was super awesome - and every song was perfect and kept the energy up all night!! We got so so so many compliments on our band and they seriously made our night extra special and beyond fun! I would hire them again in a heart beat!
We had FatPocket for our wedding band in July. They were amazing!! I can't tell you how many people are still coming up to us saying it was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding. I couldn't leave the dance floor. It was one amazing song after another. Lot's of energy, wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!
Amazing band! You guys rocked the house and our guests are still raving. We seriously had the best time!
Fat Pocket was the perfect choice for our wedding! From the second the dining room doors opened, our guests danced all night and enjoyed every minute. The band not only learned special songs for our formal dances, but emceed the night expertly, kept the crowd dancing (and singing) the entire time, played a huge variety of songs that catered to everyone, and looked like they were having fun while doing it! Guests loved it and are still talking about it two weeks later. Thank you so much, Fat Pocket!
FatPocket did a fantastic job entertaining our friends and family at our wedding. If you're looking for high energy, a band that plays across genres and keeps everyone on the dance floor all night, FatPocket takes the cake! They were open to traveling to our wedding, their manager was very responsive and the result was amazing. Thanks to FatPocket!

Wonderful band. I am still getting compliments from guests, months later. I know multiple guests who want to hire the band for their personal events in the upcoming year. Everyone danced the entire night, and lots of great music was played. Highly recommend the group.
We absolutely LOVED Fat Pocket and so did our guests. Having a full band was fantastic and their music was really fun. We highly recommend Fat Pocket if you want to have a great party!
