Fritts and Chips provides an MC, a DJ, an acoustic group, and a full band sound for an affordable price.
Based out of Metro Detroit Michigan, Fritts and Chips are a wedding band with a twist. For centuries there has been a wedding music conundrum: An acoustic guitar player or a slimed down Jazz trio are affordable but don’t provide enough energy. Having a DJ provides a danceable environment but doesn’t have the authenticity and connection live players provide. A full band is often out of the budget and has a limited song selection.
Here comes Fritts and Chips on a golden two person horse, with instruments, and a wagon with a DJ in it. We put together a special trio just for weddings that include Fritts and Chips and a professional DJ so that we can slay this wedding Dragon for you. Fritts and Chips are one of the most versatile wedding bands in Detroit. We play all different genres of music live and recorded and span all different energy levels and feels. We can adjust to whatever the wedding needs and the best part is that we are affordable and won’t be knocking grandma over by trying to stuff 10 musicians into a small space!

Fritts and Chips are absolutely incredible! They were so amazing to work with and our guests raved (and continue to rave) about how wonderful they were at the wedding! From the process of choosing our songs/playlist, recommendations on the big day, helping to incorporate what was important to us and our style of music, and just the energy they brought to the wedding, I can't recommend them enough! We loved the aspect of having a live band and a DJ too, as did our guests. They also gave us a special send off with one of our favorite songs at the end of our wedding which gave us such a memorable ending to our incredible night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOOKING THEM!! IN SUMMARY THEY ARE GREAT!!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Fritts & Chips for wedding music & DJ! They were amazing at our wedding, and made the entire night run flawlessly from ceremony to reception! I cannot thank them enough for driving out to Three Oaks for our wedding, and for the incredibly fun night we had. They perfectly mixed live performances with DJ music to create the best dancing atmosphere for our reception!!! All of our guests throughly enjoyed the night, and the band got everyone out on the dance floor! Honestly, I CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! Don’t hesitate — hire these guys for your wedding! You will not regret it!

Ah Fritts and Chips- the best band ever! Working with Fritts and Chips while wedding planning was so much fun! They are both so easy going, caring, and talented! After my first email with Fritts and Chips, I knew we were in good hands and we could rely on them. They were so amazing at our wedding, our guest LOVED them! The dance floor was full all night. They both had this friendly glow about them as if you have known them for years! We highly recommended booking Fritts and Chips for your events!

Fritts and Chips have the right vibe and attitude from each of our scheduling calls to the night of the party. We couldn't have been happier with their seamless transitions between live and DJ'ed music. They know how to read a room and keep the party going. It was a lot of fun giving them a group of songs and genres that we liked and letting them pick and choose them when it made sense, or similar songs that better captured the moment. As I said above, they had the exact kind of energy and vibe you want for this position. Just happy to be there doing their craft. Thanks again for making our wedding great!

Fritts and Chips were absolutely amazing at our 8/3/24 wedding! We got SO MANY compliments from guests about how great they were. They were the absolute highlight of the entire day. Working with the was so easy and fun; they really made us feel comfortable during the entire process and reassured us that our vision would be possible. They played during our ceremony, out cocktail hour, and for FIVE straight hours at our reception. They were so great at reading and playing to the crowd. We could not recommend them more!

We had the best time working with Fritts and Chips for our wedding! The communication was top tier from beginning to end. We had a lot of specific requests, and they were honest about what works and what doesn’t work based on their years of experience. Because of their insights and expertise, we got everything we wanted out of our music entertainment. I’m so happy with our experience working with these two. The dance floor was full the whole night. What more could you ask for?
Eric & Bryce even learned my favorite song acoustic style for a special final dance. I will truly remember that forever.
If you’re considering booking Fritts and Chips for your wedding, DO IT! You will not be disappointed. We loved the flexibility and energy of a musical duo and DJ. They rocked it!

Fritts and Chips was by far one of the best choices we made for our wedding day! They KILLED it playing live at cocktail hour and moved so seamlessly into the reception area as speeches got started. When people were leaving they kept telling us they had to do a double take because these guys are so talented the live music sounds like in studio recordings!! They read the vibe of the room so well and truly gave us the best music experience we could've asked for. If you're at all considering hiring them DO IT!!! :)

I would look no further. These guys exceeded our expectations and far far beyond! Thanks Fellas for making our day even better than we could’ve imagined. They allowed me time to hook in and play a song I wrote for my wife and cheered me along the way. Can’t say thank you enough.

Absolutely thrilled with Fritts and Chips! They are exceptionally talented musicians, professional, and just all around nice people. Our guests had TONS of fun dancing with them all night long. They are all the best parts of having a live band AND a full DJ. The positive reviews don't lie. There is no catch. They were the most-complemented part of our wedding. We still look back and smile just thinking about them. Thank you so much!!

I need everyone to know about this amazing band!
We are SO happy that we went with a live band instead of just a DJ. It added so much to our experience as a couple, and as hosts to our own wedding. They were super personable, and fun!
The zoom meeting that they held before our wedding really allowed us to get to know them, and really eased our minds about what our wedding day was going to look like.
Working with Fritts and Chips was easily one of the best decisions we made when we started planning our wedding. Their website really got us excited to have alive band. The songs and covers they have are just wonderful. They sounded great on those videos AND at our wedding. As a group they really knew what they were doing, and helped so much in moving the wedding along from one step to the other.
They were truly amazing to work with, so kind and professional. We had only one little goof up in songs (from my end, I accidentally gave them the wrong song number to play, whoopsy) and they were quick to correct the issue in the moment, and give us a beautiful song to dance to instead. We laugh at that moment now, and think of it fondly. I have a lot to thank Fritts and Chips for in making our day truly special.
When we look back on our photos and see them playing, we remember exactly how giddy we were in the moment, and we are so glad we picked the right people to help set the mood and entertain all of our guests. I have not stopped getting compliments on how great they were. Everyone really appreciated their good work, and great songs!
It has been such a joy to work with them. It really made all the difference on one of the best days of our lives.

The band was very personable and listened to our requests. Fritts and Chips were very prompt and ready to go and were in the queue and very much in tune I didn't know if it was them singing or a track. From any genre, they can perform!

Chips and Fritts absolutely made our wedding the best night. They played live during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They also had a DJ come in for the dancing portion of the night and were able to play along! They read the room perfectly, and were able to provide the perfect mix of live music and DJ. We could not recommend them more!

Fritts and Chips played at my wedding last weekend and my husband and I could not have been happier with them! They did a great job getting to know exactly what we were hoping for and really delivered from start to finish! Our ceremony and dancing were all outdoors and the sound was excellent. Their song selection was a great reflection of us. They are excellent musicians with outstanding voices and instrumentals. I highly recommend them!

Just WOW! Fritts & Chips were amazing through the whole process. They're super friendly, have great communication, and are very accommodating doing what they can to make the night special! Choosing this duo was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and the guests were absolutely blown away. They sound so good no matter the genre; they even learned a song request for us and went the extra mile when performing it! Book Fritts & Chips - you will NOT be disappointed!

When we first started planning our wedding we didn’t want a typical DJ but also a full band didn’t fit the vibe we were going for (or our budget!)…then our search lead us to Fritts and Chips! And after watching their YouTube videos I was sold! Eric and Bryce are super talented and the kindest humans! We had our pre-wedding zoom call and as a stressed bride they made me feel so much better because it was clear they had their stuff together and it was a weight off my shoulders not having to worry about them showing up or playing the right music – we knew we could rely on them. Bryce and Eric were very responsive throughout the whole planning process and worked seamless with our coordinator too.
Day of the wedding they showed up early to setup and dressed professionally, all of the music was PERFECT! From the ceremony songs we had selected, to the cocktail hour music, special dances, cake cutting song, reception music they nailed it! The DJ was also very mindful of what we wanted out of the music and they accepted requests which was great! But if there was a song requested out of genre, he would find me on the dance floor and politely ok it with me before playing it – which I greatly appreciated!
We received phenomenal feedback from our guests raving about how great the live music was and how fun the dance floor was! It was a backyard wedding and we had rented a 20x20 dance floor, my father’s only complaint about the entire day was that we should have rented a larger dance floor because it was packed the entire night! 😊 I cannot recommend Fritts and Chips enough!

We were absolutely blown away by Fritts & Chips for our October wedding. From the start, their communication was excellent - answering all emails, questions, concerns etc. As the wedding day approached we had a zoom meeting with them where we went over our requests and timeline. They were very attentive, organized, and personal. Everything leading up to the wedding lead me to believe that Fritts and Chips were an excellent pick for our wedding; however, we were completely blown away with what an incredible job they did entertaining our guests. We had guests on the dance floor the entire night. We loved the band/DJ combo aspect and had every song played that we wanted. Our guests raved about our band and all of our guests were so impressed and had the best time. If you are thinking about booking Fritts and Chips my advice would be.....DO IT! You will not be disappointed! I have so many fond memories of our special day but I will never forget the memories we made on the dance floor!

Fritts and Chips were a wonderful choice for our wedding! We absolutely loved the mix of live music and the DJ, although many times we couldn’t even tell the difference between the two, because they were so good live! They played a very good mix of music that had people of all ages on the dance floor! We had several cultural traditions that required music, and fritts and chips were super willing to do anything they needed to do help out with that! We also loved the touch of live music during cocktail hour!
Not only are fritts and chips extremely musically talented, but they are incredibly kind and fun people! You will definitely not regret booking and working with them!

5 Stars does not do these guys justice ! They were spectacular to work with leading up to the event. We gave them the musical genres and bands we love and trusted them to run the play. From the live and curated set ahead of the wedding, to the acoustic cocktail hour outside to the reception afterwards Fritts and Chips were on point and made for a perfect day !
I cannot tell you the number of people that remarked about how amazing they were, they read the crowd and played the right songs at the right times. Requests were accommodated quickly and blended into the plan seamlessly. The mix of live and DJ'd music was perfect, the set list flowed flawlessly and there wasn't a moment where people weren't singing and dancing along. We thought of ourselves as a 'non-dancing crowd' and felt the live music would add a live music pub feel to the night where people would just converse with music in the background ... we were way off. Old and young took to the floor and danced til we had to vacate the venue.
I can't recommend Fritts and Chips enough !

Fritts and Chips was everything we hoped for in a wedding band. Not only did we have both a live band and DJ, Eric and Bryce are some of the coolest, most down to earth people we have met. From our initial discussion to the first zoom call to the wedding day, they were there for any question we had. We also had the pleasure of having them play for our ceremony, which was beautiful. Our guests LOVED the music they played which kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. I would HIGHLY recommend Fritts and Chips for any event you may have.

Every moment of working with Fritts and Chips was very professional and led to a super fun wedding reception! I loved how their group incorporates live music by the two of them (so good and robust sounding that sometimes I couldn’t tell if it was a DJ track or Just an extremely talented live band!) as well as a really cool DJ who was super interactive and fun and led line dances on the floor! Our wedding guests repeatedly told us how great the band was. I liked how they read the crowd and seemed to fit different types of music in at the right time. Plus they were so easy to work with leasing up to the event with planning etc. They were very flexible and met our requests with ease - such as making special announcements and playing DJ German songs given half the group was German. It was all great and I would totally recommend!!!! I would choose them all over again!

When we started looking into music options for our wedding we were so torn on if we wanted live music or to get a DJ. I had always envisioned having live music, but also know the benefits of getting a DJ and utilizing that option. When we found Fritts and Chips, they just sounded like my dream option!! Which they were! A mix of both live and DJ music, something I didn't even know I could get all in one!
Leading up to the day they were so easy to work with, very responsive, and pleasant to communicate with. The day of the wedding everything just went so great!! The music was on point and the guys were fantastic at adjusting based on the vibe of the guests. Our dance floor always had someone up there excited about what what playing and just having a fun time!
Since the wedding, we have had so many of our guests tell us how much they loved the music and that they loved the mix of live and the DJ. We are so so happy we found Fritts and Chips and were able to have them be part of our wedding day. Would highly recommend including them in your plans!!

Fritts and Chips brought the party! We cannot express our gratitude for this band. They were responsive and communicative during the whole process but BOY DO THEY PUT ON A SHOW!
Their ability to be so organized and prepared yet also incredible flexible during the day of allowed us the opportunity to relax and have a blast. They played such a mix of music from all genres and decades and even got my mother in law dancing - which is a HUGE feat!
My husband and I continually hear what a fun reception we had, that would not have been possible without Chips and Fritts!

Fritts and Chips were the perfect entertainment for my wedding. They offered the ideal mix of live and recorded music over a variety of genres that brought my reception to life. Fritts and Chips are incredibly talented musicians and singers, and numerous guests commented to me how great the music was. Also, Fritts and Chips were an absolute pleasure to work with. They quickly responded to emails and were immediately accommodating when my wife and I had to postpone our reception because of COVID-19. Fritts and Chips played an important part in making our wedding as special as it was, and we highly recommend them!

To say we loved this group would be an understatement. We were set on having the "live" music experience for our intimate wedding, and after many hours of searching for the perfect group we found Fritts and Chips. We knew from the preview videos that they were great, but after our first call we were hooked. They made our event so special, from live guitar music as our guests arrived, to the custom rendition of our chosen song for our first dance, and finally the fun interactive dance party they joyfully led. We will always be thankful for the memories and special moments that Fritts and Chips helped create. Hiring this group is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Absolutely the best choice you could ever possibly make for your wedding!
Fritts and Chips and DJ Dave nailed every single detail from start to finish for our wedding. I don’t think I can possibly even express how beyond amazing they are. Not only are they insanely talented (we’ve received nonstop compliments from all our guests), but they’re also so incredibly cool. They’re extremely professional- they had multiple zoom meetings with us leading up to the wedding, making sure they knew every detail of what kind of vibe we wanted and what things were important to us. They made it a point to come to the bridal suite and introduce themselves before the ceremony to make sure I didn’t have any last-minute notes or changes- which was a small gesture that meant the world to me. They expertly managed the music for the ceremony and MC’ed the reception, perfectly executing all our requests and even being so kind as to allow the father of the groom to bring a drum set and jam out to a couple of songs with them. They created the exact vibe we wanted, keeping the dance floor packed up until the very last minute with the perfect blend of live music and recorded music. I truly cannot say enough good things about these guys. Their charisma, professionalism, genuine kindness, and incredible talent exceeded every expectation. I would hire them a hundred more times if I could.

Fritts and Chips are fantastic. They played live music as a band and also DJ'd at our wedding which was great. The live band portion was very special and offered our guests an experience that is different than the typical wedding DJ. Fritts and Chips are a very professional, kind and fun team. We enjoyed working with them and left the details up to them - and they went above and beyond. We also hired them for a Halloween party at our house a few years ago - they did great and the decision to use them at our wedding was a no brainer.

Fritts & Chips were awesome to work with! Communication was clear, and they're very talented musicians. They did a great job MCing, and they had a very diverse setlist and range. Having a DJ at your wedding is cool in that you can request whatever song you want, but it just doesn't provide the same energy that live music does. Fritts & Chips brought a nice mix of both DJing and live music. What was really cool was that they let me get up on stage and sing a song with them for my bride. They made our wedding one that guests have been talking about. The celebration was incredible because of them.

Booking Fritts and Chips for our May 2021 wedding was a great decision! We had initially booked a DJ, but since our venue didn't allow dancing due to Covid, we thought live music would at least provide some entertainment. We we were able to book them only a month before the event. We still had time to do multiple Zoom calls beforehand to go over details and review the types of music we were most interested in. They were professional, and really went beyond with interacting with guests. They kept the energy up and even stayed late. We got great reviews from guests! Great guys to work with!

Fritz and Chips was one of our favorite decisions we made over our wedding! They were the most positive, kind, professional, punctual, and FUN guys to work with!! They were all smiles and incredibly confident in making sure everything ran smoothly and perfectly. We left it up to them to read the crowd to know what music to play, and we have no regrets! They had everyone on our dance floor and were so interactive. We loved that they have a perfect mix of DJ and live performing, and many of our guests made a point to share that they could never tell the difference between the two because they were that fantastic! Our five year old daughter had so much fun dancing with them and they were so sweet with her, even including singing her name in a few songs! We are so grateful for their kindness and joy they brought to our wedding and the incredible memories they helped create with all of our friends and family. We would hire them over and over again, and recommend everyone to hire Fritz and Chips on for their special day!!

Fritts and Chips was wonderful for our wedding!!! They started off with prompt email responses and affordable quotes. During the planning stage, they were accommodating towards dancing requests and even learned some new songs for our big day! They were friendly, professional, and FUN! We absolutely couldn't have asked for a better group to have on our special day. Besides the live music, they also came accompanied with a DJ. We would 100% book them again the future and loved having them there to celebrate with us!

Being that Fritts and Chips is a live band, plus DJ, for an affordable price, they definitely fit the bill! These guys are great and super personable. They made the process easy and fun, and they did not disappoint. Whether old or young, they kept the wedding guests engaged. We received a lot of compliments on them from our guests. Thanks again, Fritts and Chips!

When planning our wedding we always knew we wanted to have a live band. While researching bands, we happened across Fritts and Chips and listened to a couple of their songs online and were blown away. We reached out and they were beyond friendly and professional. We were lucky enough to get to check them out live before our wedding and we instantly knew we made the right decision.
The guys are very easy to work with and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable with every detail prior to your big day. They play music from every genre and if they don't know a song they are willing and able to learn it.
Come the day of our wedding they exceeded every one of our expectations. I can't recall a single guest that didn't at least once mention how much they enjoyed the band and how talented they were along with DJ Dave. The dance floor was always full and everyone had an amazing night.
We will continue to highly recommend Fritts and Chips to all of our friends who are getting married in the future.

These guys are talented! I could not have picked better entertainment, they really helped my wedding stand out and made it memorable. My guests danced the night away, the dance floor was crowed the entire night. If I could give them more stars I would. They were very professional and fun. Planning was stress free and enjoyable. They played all my requests and were very good at reading the crowd. I still have people telling me how great they were over a month after my wedding. I highly recommend they for any event.
