They absolutely killed it at our wedding. The energy was nonstop, the music was incredible, and the dance floor was packed all night. My family — who are notoriously tough to impre...
ss — couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were.
They read the crowd perfectly, nailed every song, and were total pros to work with. Easily one of the best choices we made for the whole day.

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Joe and his band, Great Scott, for our August 2024 wedding. We hosted a backyard wedding with a lot of moving parts. Joe mad...
e us feel confident and excited for our big day.
Joe was our most responsive and communicative wedding vendor. He even did a site visit to talk through the location of the band and sound systems given the unique layout of our space.
Joe and his team provided seamless audio for our entire event and Joe himself was a great MC for our reception. Great Scott absolutely rocks! Our guests raved about the band during and after our wedding - the dance floor was packed all night! Joe also went out of his way to add some personal touches (e.g,. a few extra choruses on sweet Caroline in honor of one of our bridesmaids and playing Hail to the Victors!)
Do not hesitate to book Great Scott for your event - they really bring the party and Joe is a true professional!
