GREEN FOURTEEN DJ'S Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
If you need a reason to hire a live band over a DJ, consider this it! Right from the beginning of wedding planning, my husband and I knew we wanted a live band as opposed to a DJ. There's just something about the quality you get from a live ban...
d that you can never get from a DJ. That being said, I cannot say enough good things about Green Fourteen! The band leader, Patrick, was amazing to work with right from the beginning. He was very responsive by email or phone. A couple of days before our wedding, Patrick told us he was bringing a couple of extra band members as his treat. Suddenly our 6-piece band was a 12-piece band with dancers and everything! We were blown away! The band was engaging with the guests all night long and really made our wedding unforgettable. So many of our guests told us it was the best time they ever had at a wedding. I wish we had another event to hire them for because they really were so much fun!
Loved the band! They were super engaging with the crowd. Our guests had only great things to say. Patrick is on top of all of the details and was great the day of - he managed the entire timeline! We had an absolute blast!
Green Fourteen was such a blast! The entire band has great, high energy and really made sure the dance floor was having a good time. The performers are very talented and know how to work the crowd.
They are so much fun! I have been to a number of events and they know how to get the crowd dancing and have a fabulous time!
Green Fourteen performed at our gala event last year and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They did a great job as the emcee as well. Thank you for everything!!
We used Green Fourteen for our annual committee gala and are thrilled to be using them again for an unforgettable black tie affair
I had a great time with Green Fourteen as the entertainment. It was awesome that they had dancers, the singers were great, and it was just an overall fun experience!
Mitch and I cannot stop talking about how amazing Green Fourteen was at our wedding! They absolutely KILLED IT! We loved how they got everyone to the dance floor to start out the night and we loved ending the night with Lean on Me! So cool to s...
ee everyone we love circling around us! Everyone was raving about how awesome they were!! They had just the right amount of energy - I actually felt like we were at a concert. Mitch and I LOVED going on stage - we even crowd surfed!! Never would have expected that on our wedding day, but it was amazing. It's also great that whenever Mitch and I wandered off, they would find us and bring us back to the dance floor - LOVED that!! Seriously, everything rocked and we love Green Fourteen!
We had the best time at our wedding and green fourteen was a HUGE part of it! Patrick doubles as a wedding planner (seriously - he was a life saver throughout the night). He truly takes care of you and your guests. We had a blast, it was non st...
op energy throughout the night. These guys are pros, and know how to give your guests the time of their lives. This has probably been said in a million reviews, but SO many guests asked me where I got the band and where they were based out of. Seriously - book these guys, you won’t be disappointed!
"Now that we are back from our honeymoon and getting back to normal life, we want to reach out and thank you for what an AMAZING job you did at our wedding! You and your partner were so organized and helpful which we greatly appreciated. We esp...
ecially liked how you opened up the dance floor with "Piano Man" with everyone around us. This was a great tactic to get everyone on the dance floor right away which worked! Similarly, we also really liked how you ended the night with "Lean On Me" with everyone around us. This was a very fun and unique ending! Another thing that we greatly appreciated was how you made it a point to get both Scott and I on the dance floor at various times throughout the night. I often hear how couples barely see each other at their reception because of how hectic it is and I was really happy with how often we were on the dance floor together. More than what I anticipated! The balloon drop - thank you again for pulling the ripcord! This was so much fun and we're really happy we did it! So thank you again for everything!! It was such a wonderful night!"
Green Fourteen is by far THE BEST band you could book for your wedding! Not only do they provide amazing music for your wedding day, they get all your guests involved and dancing!! PLUS, unlike most bands, they provide you a wedding planner to ...
get you through the whole night. Patrick has been nothing but accommodating and extremely helpful during all the wedding planning! Patrick has helped me to see the timeline of the night and is helping me plan everything out so all will run smoothly on our big day. He made me think of things that I would have never done so on my own, and with his vision and accountability, I know the wedding night is going to run as smoothly as possible. I know I won't have to worry about a thing! He is truly passionate about what he does and I feel greatly taken care of. He answers us in just a few minutes if we need him and makes us feel like family. He even offers to help you negotiate with your venue and just go there to check it out to make sure it will work for the band too! He's truly top of the line. You will not be disappointed if you go with Green Fourteen!
My fiancé and I knew from the start that we wanted to book Green Fourteen. After seeing them preform as a friend's wedding. Once we decided on a wedding date, the next thing that we jumped on, was booking Green Fourteen. We then began looking ...
for wedding venues. When we found a venue that we knew we had to have we were told our date was already booked. However, the venue had a date available two weeks later. We reached out to Patrick and explained how we found the venue, but needed to move our date. He was more than willing to work with us and told us not to worry. As everything will be fine and work out. In the end we were able to have both the venue we wanted and the kick@$$ band that we knew we wanted from the start. All thanks to Patrick's willingness to work with us.
I kept getting compliments on the band! The dance floor was never empty because they got involved with my guests. Amazing! Highly recommend :)
Green Fourteen where SO great to work with! They helped to make our night so special.
Great performance!
This band is amazing! On time, friendly, and incredibly professional. As a maid of honor in my bff's wedding I couldn't have asked for more. One less headache on the big day, this band is set and ready to go!

Great band for any occasion! Highly recommend!!
Loved it!
Great band!! We love having them play at our annual gala!! Would highly recommend for any event, but would be especially perfect at a wedding!!
Great mix of music, kept the crowd on the dance floor ALL night long. Would definitely recommend!!
Amazing band!!!
Awesome band for any occasion. Highly recommend!
We saw them at the Junior League Gala and they were so fun and energetic!
Great!
Patrick and the band are just the best. Seriously, you can go through all the reviews. But I will tell you here and now that this band cares about your event. They are super accommodating and energetic about your ideas and plans. Keep these guy...
s on your radar for bookings!
The band is amazing and full of energy! I saw them at a charity event earlier this year and they kept everyone on their feet. Would highly rec them and look forward to work with them in the future.
Such a fun band! Our group had a blast dancing all night
Wonderful band! They play catchy and upbeat music!
If I could give Green Fourteen a million stars I would!! They were amazing! Besides Patrick being just an amazing human being who was available all the time (seriously he emailed me back while he was on the beach in Miami minutes before he was ...
about to run a 10K) we and all our guests had a blast! The party went all night and we still have people talking about it! My now Mother-in-law says when the time comes for her daughter to get married she will have to check and make sure Green Fourteen is available before she is allowed to pick a wedding date!
Many guests told us this was the best wedding they had ever been to, and the Band is what put it over the top.
Patrick and the band are just amazing, so interactive.
People that had never danced at a wedding, danced. The dance floor was full u...
ntil midnight. When I reached out to the venue after the wedding, I was told the employees were still talking about the band and how great they were! Don't hesitate if you are looking for a band that will make your event as special as you envision it!
Patrick kept us informed and updated from the very beginning! He pays attention to every detail and is very organized. The band was very professional and everything from the piano during dinner, to the band during the reception and the DJ after...
the band ended was amazing! The dance floor was packed the entire time! We were excited to see our guests having the time of their lives just as we were! We highly recommend! Thanks Patrick and Green Fourteen for making our wedding unforgettable :)
Very professional & detailed band. Once they were hired we never looked back, Patrick kept us informed & updated as needed. From the DJ service during cocktail hour, to piano during dinner and live band for the dance it was Fabulous! Our Guest...
s can't stop talking about how much fun they had. The dance floor was full all night long. Held the reception at The Grain in Exchange in Milwaukee WI.

s can't stop talking about how much fun they had. The dance floor was full all night long.
By far the best band ever!! I have never seen a band interact with the crowd like these guys! They got the guests involved and played for 3 hours straight with no break!
The band was amazing. We had them at our wedding this past weekend and everyone couldn’t rave enough about how good they were! We are still getting compliments on how it’s the best band they have ever heard. They continuously got people to inte...
ract with them and the dancers came out on the floor and kept it alive! I seriously can’t praise Patrick and his team enough and would highly recommend them and would have them again in a heart beat for our next event!
Green Fourteen is an amazing band that not only has an amazing sound, but they will keep your guests engaged and dancing the entire evening! Patrick has an amazing way of reading the crowd to keep them on the dance floor, and the band as a whol...
e is very interactive with guests. If you want to entertain your crowd the best way possible, you need to hire the best, and in my opinion and all of our attendees opinions that’s Green Fourteen!
Patrick and the band are amazing! They were completely invested in our event and kept the guests engaged and entertained the entire night. This was our first time using them and I will use them again in the future! They are absolutely amazin...
g!
We have used Green Fourteen for our annual school gala for the past 4 years and they are always outstanding! Our guests always want them back.
Don’t think, just book. I was super skeptical about how many 5 star reviews Patrick and the band had, thinking there was no way people loved them this much. I did some digging from past customers, and everyone sad exactly what I’m about to say....
Our guests raved about the “best wedding band ever” the entire night. The band knows how to interact with the crowd and make everyone feel part of the action. As a musician myself, he went above and beyond to make sure I was able to play a song for my wife on acoustic guitar, as well as play “Sweet Home Chicago” with the band. The energy was off the charts the whole night, and some of my favorite memories of the evening are due to Green Fourteen.
More important, Patrick has such passion and drive, and works with you to not only make the band amazing, but coordinate the event so that it goes off as seamlessly as possible. Patrick comes off very high energy, but thats only because he has such enthusiasm and drive. Green Fourteen also provides tremendous value compared to other bands. I’ll let you do your own research, but I can tell you it was the single largest expenditure other than the venue and food, and it still felt worth it. If you’re debating between bands or band and DJ, just know you won’t regret hiring Green Fourteen!
Look no further... Green Fourteen played at our daughter's wedding last weekend and people are still talking about them! Great music, fantastic singers and engaging entertainment! Dance floor was always packed and the band never took a break....
Thank you, Green Fourteen, for making the evening rock!
We had the best experience working with Green Fourteen! They were able to cater to all of our music requests - including playing a 45 minute Spanish music set during our wedding. They interacted with the crowd and made sure everyone was having ...
a great time. Our guests cannot stop raving about the band and how much fun they had. And to top it all off, Patrick was super organized throughout the whole process and very responsive - definitely helped take the stress away from wedding planning. 10/10 would recommend!
Green Fourteen is absolutely fantastic! They made everyone dancing on the floor. Everyone was having good times. Great singers, voices and music choices too. I definitely highly recommend them on your special day. On the side note, for those br...
ides, grooms and all wedding party members who want to lose weight and look their best during the wedding day , I did the 30 day challenge with money back guarantee and I lost 20 lbs in the program. If you want to do it I encouraged you to contact iliah06@yahoo.com. She will help you just like how she helped me.
Last Saturday, I had the joy of watching my son marry the girl of his dreams. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, I got to the reception and witnessed with my own eyes a truly AMAZING band. I must say that this band is phenomenal. Not only di...
d they make sure the bride and groom were the center attention, they had a way of connecting to the guests and made sure that they were dancing/smiling/laughing and really enjoying themselves. My husband even commented to me that he couldn’t believe how many people were on the dance floor. All of their voices, mannerisms and energy were/are truly amazing. I am still in AWE on what a great job my daughter-in-law did in selecting them to perform on one of the biggest days in their lives. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to hire a band. You guys/girls are all a class act and can honestly say THANK YOU, THANK YOU for everything and the great memories of that night.
Hire a wedding band over a DJ and make the investment! Patrick responded to my emails right away and was so helpful during the whole process. It didn’t matter if I emailed Patrick at 7am or 2am, he always responded accordingly. I just got marri...
ed and the first thing that our guests have said after congrats was, “That band was amazing, and how did you find them?!” Everyone was on the floor dancing, even my husband’s Uncle that never dances!!! Green Fourteen had such great energy and engaged every single one of our guests. They would come off of the stage to dance and sing, and they even sang on top of chairs too! The band played for three straight hours without a break. The band also signed our wedding board. It was a night that my husband and I will never forget along with plenty of dancing!!! Patrick is a pro at what he does and he’s very passionate about his job. Hire Green Fourteen and you will not regret it :)
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! I had the time of my life! I did not leave the dance floor all night! Every song the dance floor was packed! This band is the real deal! They gave the best performance I have ever seen, my guests can not stop talkin...
g about it! As the bride they made me feel like I was the star of the show it was beyond my expectations! The singers, dancers, and musicians were are so talented. Green Fourteen was the best decision and money spent of my entire wedding.
Numerous comments from our guests about how good the band was. One guest said the band was good enough to just watch. Excellent singing voices. Band sent singers and dancers onto the dance floor to keep guests involved. Wedding coordinator ...
said she had never seen another band do as well keeping guests on the dance floor. Band took no breaks once they began playing.
We hired Green Fourteen for a fundraiser with just under 400 guests. The band is solid. And while I'm not a fan of current pop music, I found myself enjoying a number of the tunes. We received a lot of positive feedback from guests regarding th...
e band, and specifically the "solid gold dancers" that performed in front of the stage.
We also did get a few complaints regarding the volume being too loud, but most of our guests are older, so take that as you will.
Patrick and his crew arrived on time, loaded in quickly, and were very helpful during soundcheck. They obviously know the fundraising format very well, and Patrick even jumped on the mic a few times during the evening to help keep the program moving along and fill some dead-air. He could easily emcee a fundraising event given the opportunity.
Green Fourteen has mass appeal and could play to a much larger venue if needed. Certainly a good choice for a cocktail-attire fundraiser.
Patrick was fantastic. The band was upbeat, fun, and had everyone dancing all night long. They also went above and beyond to accomodate special requests from the bridal party. I would highly recommend.
I cannot say enough about the band Green 14. They made our wedding night absolutely amazing!! Patrick worked with us from the start and spent hours making sure we had the vision we wanted. He definitely went above and beyond at every step! O...
n the night of the wedding, the band brought more energy than I've ever seen on a dance floor. The back up dancers were absolutely fantastic and so talented. I had multiple guests asking "who is this band and where did you find them?!" The icing on the cake is that for a band that plays a lot of weddings, they seemed genuinely happy and excited for us as though we were the first wedding they had ever been to. They changed lyrics to fit my name, pulled us up on stage, and came out into the audience to include all guests in the fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the most grateful bride! I can 100% say the wedding would not have been the same without Green 14!
Green Fourteen was absolutely unbelievable!! I couldn't have imagined booking a better band for our wedding in October 2017! Patrick was by far the greatest, as he was almost like my very own wedding planner!!! He made our night go off without ...
a hitch! The energy that this band has it amazing, they had every single guest out on the dance floor the entire night! I received so many compliments on the band and have even had guests say they want to book them for private parties; they were that good! They absolutely killed it and I still have wedding guests talking about them in February!! Definitely suggesting this band to every future bride out there!!! I CANNOT thank Patrick and the band enough for helping us throw one of the most special parties we'll ever have! THANK YOU GREEN FOURTEEN!!
Best decision we made booking Green Fourteen! They are incredible…every member is such a talent! When the singers are not singing, they are dancing and interacting with the crowd. It’s impossible not to want to dance. They perform a wide vari...
ety of old and new songs, and put their own spin on each. All of our guests were out of their seats, if they weren’t on the dance floor, they were engaged in some way. The band added so much to the evening, it wouldn’t have been the same without them.
They were also extremely professional. Patrick was very easy to work with when it came to booking. He was responsive and covered all the bases right from the start. Couldn’t have asked for more!
Can not overstate how happy we were with Patrick and all of the musicians from Green Fourteen. The evening was like magic. The dance floor was occupied all night. The personalities and professionalism of the band was appreciated by all in atten...
dance. Wow...I don't think it could have turned out any better!
We first met with Patrick Doody several months prior to the wedding and we were very confident that he would do a fantastic job and we were not disappointed. Patrick was very organized and helped the evening run smoothly. He was a pleasure to w...
ork with. The band was absolutely fabulous! They played non-stop and were so energetic in getting out on the dance floor and getting the guests fired up and involved. All of the singers and musicians were top notch. The feedback from the guests was that they had never had so much fun at a wedding. Patrick promised that there would be a crowd of people staying and dancing until the very end and he was spot on...the dance floor was still crowded when last call came. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much Patrick and Green 14 for making our wedding so much fun and a huge success! Heidi and Ron Winek
Green Fourteen provided the experience you want all of your wedding guests to have! The level of energy in the room that Patrick and Green Fourteen created lasted from 6pm when the reception started to midnight when the event was over. They app...
eal to all demographics by varying their song selection to not play songs from the same decade back to back. The entertainers become part of your party and your guests engage like you've never seen them before. Men and women you have never seen dance, dance and guests who can't sing, belt it into the mic. Green Fourteen is genuinely invested in YOUR day and do everything in their power to make sure that the dance floor is always full. To our surprise, the band even brought additional backup dancers and band members to only enhance our expectations for our guests.
However, the experience started before our wedding day! Patrick was phenomenal to work with. Brides, if you are worried about details, timing and everything go off without a hitch, Patrick is your man! His eye for details and his appreciation for time management was more than I could have asked for. Upon meeting, he told me I could call, email or text 24/7 and he would respond ASAP. It was true! He always answered my questions and promised he would control that level of energy. If you want your guests to have the time of their lives and talk about your wedding day forever, book Green Fourteen! They won't disappoint!
Green Fourteen is an amazing band! They performed at our black tie charity gala and their presence MADE the night! They have incredible energy and made the night unforgettable.
Incredible band and fantastic performance. Enjoyed by all age groups. Big hit all around!!
They performed for an event of momentum in the past and are incredible!
Great band! Talented, fun, professional! Keeps the party going all night. You can tell they truly enjoy their work, and it shows! Highly recommend going with them for your wedding, gala, or other event!
I saw Green Fourteen play at a fundraising event held at the Lyric Opera earlier in the year. The musicians had an uncanny ability to take what would be an otherwise stuffy and formal event to a next level fun filled night of singing and dancin...
g. They had constant energy, current, upbeat songs, and a great sound.
We had such a wonderful time at a friend's big night. The venue, florals, food and drinks were so great. BUT, the band GreenFourteen took the event from great to AWESOME!
They play so great together and have a great demenor with the crowd and...
guests. Would highly recommend them to anyone having an event or wedding in the Chicago area.
They were absolutely amazing and definitely kept the party going!
GreenFourteen had such a great variety of songs that everyone loved. They had so much energy. So fun to watch and makes you want to dance too!
Green Fourteen does a fantastic job. They know how to make guests have a great time and I would recommend them to everyone!
Nowadays, it seems like so many people are moving away from hiring a live band for their events and opting for a DJ instead. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!! I guarantee your guests will be dancing the night away with these guys behind the mic! Than...
k you again for a fantastic event, Green Fourteen!
GreenFourteen was such an amazing addition to our black tie event. The band has so much energy and took the event to the next level. When you say - party and fun... I cannot think of any other band than GreenFourteen! Would recommend them to an...
yone! LOVE!
Our guests are still talking about the Green Fourteen band and how much fun they had on the dance floor! Not only were they AMAZING while performing, but their professionalism made the planning process incredibly easy. Thank you for making our ...
special night so much memorable for us and all of our friends and family!
Green Fourteen is THE BEST! Having been in the event planning world for the past 10 years, I was ecstatic to come across this group while attending an event in Chicago. They kept the energy pumping and 400 people dancing all night long! I can't...
wait to work with this group for upcoming events!
Green Fourteen is really the most amazing WEDDING band anywhere! They kept the dance floor PACKED for 3 hours straight! They interact with the crowd... danced in the middle of the floor, got people singing... it was magical! They even digita...
lly shorten a song in a music studio prior to the wedding, for my son & I to dance to! Patrick Doody is phenomenal!
I worked with Green Fourteen on the vendor side at a recent wedding and was absolutely amazed at how long they kept the guests dancing (all night!). Their energy never faltered, their communication with the bride and groom was professional and ...
efficient, and they're extremely talented musicians. Get these guys at your wedding if you want a real party!
Everything was amazing! Green Fourteen’s attention to detail and enthusiasm is unmatched. I would recommend them anytime!
Amazing band! Exceeded all of my expectations. Patrick was awesome to work with!
Having a band at my wedding was the best decision I made, more specifically having Green Fourteen was the best decision! From the first correspondence with Patrick, I knew we were in good hands! He was prompt with every reply, organized, and ve...
ry detailed. Because of the timeline he helped me create , the reception went very smoothly. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Even my dad, who never dances, got up front and danced with the band and their dancers! Overall, Green Fourteen was amazing and truly talented! They made my wedding absolutely perfect and I can't thank them enough!
Its been a month since the wedding and our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was! I knew the younger bridal party would be all about live music, but could not believe how much of my older family was on the dance floor all nig...
ht. The band really puts on a show as they move around the crowd to use the full venue. I recommend getting the dancers as they were awesome to watch and kept everyone's attention even when sitting down for a breather. Patrick, the band leader, was truly a life saver by helping organize every moment. The band kept us the center of attention the whole not and even made helpful announcements like when the late night snacks arrived. I hope I am never stuck at a wedding with a boring DJ again after seeing these guys live. Book them immediately!
This band is an extremely professional, caring and most of call awesome!!
They were great. A lot of energy and played a lot of awesome songs
Green Fourteen is an absolute grand slam! Their energy and ability to get everyone on the dance floor is a 10/10. Patrick (Band Leader) is extremely organized and prompt- he even made a custom track for my mother and I to do the Groom/MoG dance...
. He really will make whatever show you're looking for a reality. All night long I heard people raving about and asking for the bands contact information. Could not give a higher recommendation!
Green Fourteen performed at our daughter's wedding reception and they were absolutely AWESOME!!! Every single detail from the time we inquired about their availability up to the very end of the wedding reception was handled beautifully! Words c...
an not describe how Green Fourteen contributed to making the wedding reception magical. Patrick got everyone of the guests involved even before the band started playing. He made the announcement of the bridal party so interactive and fun and he had the timeline of the events of the evening so planned out and spot on. Then the band started playing and "WOW" they are crazy good! They not only played with high intensity for 3 hours straight without stopping, but they danced at the same time!!! The guests still are commenting that Green Fourteen is the best band they have ever seen! We are so glad that we ordered the largest dance floor possible for our tented reception because every inch of it was used ALL NIGHT! I can't say enough - if you want to feel confident in making your wedding reception memorable and the most fun it can be - book Green Fourteen!!!! Thank you Patrick!!!
Green Fourteen did not disappoint! Wow!!! I cannot tell you how many guests complimented our band choice. They had the dance floor packed until the bittersweet end at midnight. They left us all wanting more!!! Bravo, guys...you appealed to ever...
y generation at our weeding, young and old and we cannot thank you enough. You killed it!!!
This band was so incredible!!! From the initial contact, Patrick was clearly a professional. They were the most entertaining band and EVERYONE was in the dance floor the entire night. They couldn’t have been better!!!
This band is the complete package. My wife and I had the time of our lives and would say there is no other band you should even consider. The band was great to work with, incredibly friendly and full of energy! We're so impressed with their att...
ention to detail and how they ran the show. They brought this infectious energy that everyone was loving. No one left the dance floor. Patrick was incredibly helpful when planning our reception from the start to finish. We received tons of compliments on the band's performance and continue to get compliments! Each band member was fantastic! Besides being good artists, they were fun and engaging to our guests. We cannot say enough about the band and if we ever consider a band for any event in the future, we will definitely use Patrick and Green Fourteen again! They are the best of the best. To anyone who is looking to book a band.... these are your guys. So happy they said yes to being a part of our wedding day!
This band was amazing! They sounded wonderful the entire time! But beyond that, they were full of energy, engaging the guests, and looked like they were having a wonderful time too! We never stopped dancing!!
All of the positive reviews are 100% TRUE. Our wedding was just this past Saturday. We planned the whole thing from LA to have in Chicago - and these guys MADE the event so incredibly memorable to us and our guests who flew in from all over LA...
, New York and of course some local Chicagoans... all of them were blown away.
Literally the hashtag trending on my facebook page right now is #bestweddingbandever.
It's the first thing my guests have mentioned talking to them after the wedding. Vendors too. Both our caterer and our photographer reached out asking who the band was b/c they were incredible. Music was very important to us when planning our wedding. Honestly i was slightly tepid prior to the wedding b/c of how affordable they were in comparison to other bands. Besides saying "I do" - hiring them was the smartest thing my Groom and I have done. Patrick said that they always over deliver, and I just thought that was something you say, but he is a man true to his word. They played longer then they said they would - playing songs everyone loved! They really added so much fun and energy to the reception, my feet are still happily sore. I told my now husband that I want to have an anniversary party just so we can rehire them. Do not hesitate to book them for your wedding (or any event really, they are legit!), and tell me if you do, b/c I'll want to crash your party. ;-)
PS - Highly recommend you get the saxophonist in your band package.
This. Band. Is. The. Best. Ever. My family is notorious for not having fun at weddings (is that really a thing?). This band made all the difference. People are still following up with me about how amazing the band was (including some folks who ...
are huge party-goers). The fact that they have amazing music for cocktail hour, and then can turn into dinner music (with vocals too), and then hit the ground running with 3 hours straight of energy (complete with back up dancers, WHAT?!), was incredible. They are the complete package. My husband and I (along with other wedding goers) talked about wanting to follow them around on tour because they were so fun. Green Fourteen was the first deposit we made for our wedding, and at the wedding we all realized why. Because they are the best of the best. Patrick-- to the rest of the band-- you are some talented people, and you have a great thing going. We're so impressed with your attention to detail, how you ran the show, and made everything so flawless. As an event planner myself, I've never seen anything like the show you put on, and the thoroughness you put into your work. I could go on and on. To anyone who is looking to book a band.... these are your guys. So happy you said yes to being a part of our big day!
Amazing! Green Fourteen made our wedding day unbelievable. They kept it organized from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. We even had back up dancers! Our guests had such a great time they still talk about it! Thank you for making ...
our day so special and fun!!!
We couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Patrick did an awesome job of making the wedding OUR day and the band was amazing. All our guests are still complimenting months later!
Just finished a corporate 50th anniversary party for 1000. Was very leary about which band to choose having never done this before, or probably again. I researched many bands but chose Green Fourteen. I did NOT make a mistake. Patrick and e...
very member of the band was awesome! We had guests from 30 different countries from 17 years old to 95 and every one had a great time. Many said it was the best party that they have ever attended and much of that congratulations belongs to Green Fourteen and Patrick Doody. They played for 5 hours straight with no breaks each song sounding like it was being performed by the original artist that created it. High energy all night long as well as an MC performance for awards that was just what we wanted. Thanks so much for a great night. YOu will not be sorry if you hire this band!!!
The raving reviews are true people-- this band knows how to take a party to the next level! Leading up to our wedding, Patrick was always very responsive and accommodating of our requests. He acted like an assistant coordinator for us on the da...
y of, making sure we knew when it was time for first dances, speeches, even that we had drinks on hand for the toasts. The band totally exceeded our expectations (which were already pretty high based on their reviews)! From their insane dance moves to always reading the crowd to walking the dancefloor and interacting with guests, it's no wonder that all we heard for the next few days was how amazing the band was. We thought we wouldn't be able to afford a live band, but we are so happy we reached out to Patrick and booked Green Fourteen. They truly made our wedding an unforgettable night!
Patrick with Green Fourteen was wonderful to work with. He was always extremely responsive via email. The band overall was amazing. Each band member at our wedding was so energetic, they got the crowd involved, up and dancing, which we loved...
! We have seen many bands over the years at other weddings and Green Fourteen blew them all away. We are still getting compliments on how awesome they were from our guests! We would definitely recommend them!

Allie! Thank you so much for the kind words, I can't thank you enough. Your trust and 100% satisfaction means everything to me. Your wedding was amazing and I still have pictures of you and your mother slamming the drums with the lighted drumst...
ick in my head :) Have an amazing honeymoon and lets PLEASE all get together for a lunch cruise on me at the pier when you return! Congratulations once again and thank you for the honor! Sincerely Patrick Doody - Green Fourteen!
Avoid Green Fourteen. Green Fourteen said they would hold our date while we negotiated the contract and then they booked someone else. Sent a text and did not even have the courtesy to call us. Very unprofessional, unethical and despicable beh...
aviour. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
Fortunately, we were able to find a far better band that worked with us on a professional basis.
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2017
Dear Sarah, Steve and Alan,
Im so very sorry from the bottom of my heart for your disappointment. Im sorry for not being able to hold the date any longer for your special day. I know how disappointed you must feel with this experience.
As you...
recall, I had issued you a contract that gave you first right of refusal over any other interested party within that 48 hour period.
When your contract and deposit didn't come back in the time allowed, another interested party sent in their contract & deposit and unfortunately took your special date.
As I always mention to all of our clients, Im not a high pressure sales person and I don't force or push anyone into making any decisions until you are 100% ready. The obvious disadvantage to that is that another interested client that has made their choice takes that opportunity.
To respond on not reaching out to you, yesterday I did reach out to you immediately by email (as you know) to let you know that someone else had taken the date, but that I just needed a little time (24 hours) to make sure that the transfer of funds was indeed there, and that there was no mistake. I didn't want to disappoint you or give you all any more unneeded stress while I was confirming.
To my surprise today I just received our first negative review ever on The Knot. Obviously and sadly from you. I didn't get a chance to reach out in time prior for your posting this review. For that once again I am sorry.
Please reach out to me personally and I would like to offer you a $150.00 visa gift card as my most sincere apologies for your loss of time and disappointment. Hopefully that will at least alleviate some loss of your time and investment.
Many bands and orchestras offer multiple bands and musicians to go out and perform on the same night to alleviate this kind of situation from happening. There is only 1 Green Fourteen and our availability is much more limited.
I take amazing pride in our award winning customer service, and perfect reviews from our 100's of satisfied clients over the past 17 years in the wedding industry.
Im relieved to know that you were able to find entertainment for your special day and I wish you nothing but the best for a perfect day, perfect weather and an amazing happily ever after. Congratulations once again on your engagement.
Please reach out to me immediately so we can resolve some of your dissapointment with your experience with myself and Green Fourteen.
Sincerely,
Patrick Doody
UNFORGETTABLE! I wish I could give this band 100 stars! They were the musical soul of the evening and just blew everyone away! We are still getting compliments: "they were my favorite part!" "so much fun!" "I loved that they interacted with the...
guests so much!" etc.
Patrick was incredible to work with. He made our day very personalized, helped us schedule the evening, and was even able to make a few last minute changes on the spot. This band is extremely talented and went around the dance floor singing and dancing with the guests, all while singing the songs perfectly! They played for 3 hours straight and we had people on the dance floor all night! People even started dancing during dinner! I can't thank them enough for making our evening so perfect! If you are looking for the perfect band for your wedding, look no further than Green Fourteen! They are the best!
Most amazing wedding band ever!!! Booked them after going to my best friend's wedding and another friend is engaged and booked them. We were dancing the WHOLE night!
There is no way to express the complete awesomeness that Green Fourteen is. Patrick was the first band that I reached out to. His energy and attention to detail during our first conversation made him the only band that I reached out to. He w...
as great to work and he genuinely cares about your vision for your big night. He will do whatever it takes to make that happen too.
Patrick and the band absolutely NAILED it! I have been to at least 30 weddings in the city in the last 5+ years and every person commented on how they were the best band they have ever seen. The dance floor was packed the whole time. I think I got off the dance floor one time the whole night. The singers are amazing and get all of the guests involved, whether they know they want to be or not. I recommend spending the extra money to get as many band members as possible. It is well worth it! We had the 12 piece bad. The sax was unreal.
I knew that music was one of the most important things to me and Patrick and Green Fourteen fell nothing short of perfection!!! Thank you Green Fourteen for making this night the best night of my life :)
One request: if anyone reads this and hires Patrick and Green Fourteen, can you invite me to the wedding?!?!
My husband and I would highly recommend Patrick and Green Fourteen to anyone looking to have a band at an event! From the initial point of contact to our wedding day, the responsiveness was on point. Patrick was great to work with, incredibly f...
riendly and full of energy! He seemed genuinely interested in making our wedding day the best day of our lives! He was incredibly helpful when planning our reception from the start to finish. We left a lot of the music choices up to him and we could not have been more pleased! We received tons of compliments on the band's performance and continue to get compliments! Each band member was fantastic! Besides being good artists, they were fun and engaging to our wedding guests. We cannot say enough about the band and if we ever consider a band for any event in the future, we will definitely use Patrick and Green Fourteen again!
Best. Band. Ever. From Motown to 80s to today, they played every song that makes you want to get up and dance. The energy of the band members is infectious. At one point, they had our wedding guests circling us with their hands in the air, ever...
yone singing at the tops of their lungs... it was my favorite moment of the night. The band leader Patrick is AMAZING. An orchestra all his own. He's an event planner, MC, and right-hand man all in one. He worked with my day-of coordinator to make sure we had everything we needed and more. He's a joy to know as a human let alone have at your wedding. More than a few dozen times, my guests told me they were the best wedding band they'd ever heard. I'm so so grateful they played at mine.
I can not rave enough about this band. They were so good, professional, fun, and Patrick was just wonderful to work with. They involved all of the guests, learned special music, as well as Patrick emcee-ing the whole event. Added attention to d...
etail, like making sure we had filled glasses for toasting, was also a great touch. Patrick was enthusiastic from day one, and worked with me on everything to make sure the wedding and reception was everything I had envisioned.
Patrick and Green Fourteen are now are family. From the first time you talk to Patrick it's wonderful. He sends information that covers all bases and arranges for the couple to watch them in action as soon as is possible. After 18 months of ...
planning Being the Mother of the bride Patrick had everything from the ceremony music , set up , emceeing with his great warmth was so calming. Our guest's comments were oh my gosh the entertainment is/was the most fun they had in years. 86 year old Aunt was on the dance floor all night. As was the other 200 Guest's including baby's in arms of loved ones and all other ages having the time of their life. Patrick also checked in with myself and Father of the Bride several times during afternoon and night to see if there was anything we needed even if it wasn't his responsibility. His crew were warm and friendly and went out of their way also to entire wedding guests. Five star entertainment were other comments. When they were setting up outdoor ceremony equipment you didn't even notice the equipment and the sound even outdoor's was so clear. 200 guests could hear made comments on how great it was to hear everything from processional music to that Revered was fun. Thank you Patrick. This isn't just dancing. This is top notch entertainment with a built in family feel. Warm ,energetic, Funny, and professional. His personality is always fun as is his musicians and amazing voices. One of the Earth, Wind and Fire songs if you closed your eyes you thought it was them. Love you Green Fourteen. Barb G.
Patrick was a gem to work with during his extremely busy season. He drove to Joliet to meet us half way to personally discuss his role as master of ceremonies for the reception, and we planned everything down to the minute.
The extremely talent...
ed musicians poured their energy into the evening and created a memorable event for all guests, especially the bride and groom. We requested the largest dance floor available, and we found it full of all generations celebrating for 3.5 hours. Thank you Green Fourteen!
My daughter was married 3 weeks ago and Green Fourteen traveled from Chicago to Omaha for the celebration. And indeed it was quite the celebration. Green Fourteen is an amazing band and Patrick is a fabulous MC and very easy to work with. AL...
L our guests were on the dance floor ALL night having the time of their lives. The music was better than I imagined. I couldn't have been more pleased. I highly recommend this group of extremely talented men and women.
Patrick was great to work with. This was the first time we had them at our Resort for a wedding and I would highly recommend them to future events. The band sounded great.
Looking forward to seeing them again in September.
