Stop reading this review and book Howl2Go!! Such a fun, unique alternative to traditional wedding music options. They were super responsive, very organized, and easy to work with. We had multiple meetings leading up to our big day to review the day of timeline, which they executed perfectly!! They had the dance floor packed all night long and the artists are SO talented. My guests had incredible feedback on the band saying it was one of the most unique wedding music experiences they’ve had AND that the band was incredible! My next big event, Howl2Go will be there, I can guarantee you that!!

Was a big Howl @ the moon fan and it was my dream to have them play at my wedding. Booked them for a wedding that was cancelled due to covid (not rescheduled because my now husband is in the military) and they never refunded me in full. Stopped responding. Almost been 3 years and they still owe me. Pathetic management who doesn’t care about their customers. Seems cool but wouldn’t waste your time and money.
Any questions?

Best. Wedding. Entertainment. Ever!
We knew we wanted to do something different than your traditional DJ for our wedding and when we found Howl2Go we knew it was the right choice! They followed the timeline to a T, absolute crushed the dueling piano show for 3 hours, and even got me on the dance floor - which is saying a lot! Everyone had a great time and the party was nonstop! These guys rocked it. If you’re still searching for the perfect wedding music/entertainment, look no further than Howl2Go! They’re incredible.

Choosing HOWL2GO as our wedding band was an absolute home run decision. The planning phase was effortless thanks to Jordan guiding us through each planning call. He helped make sure the things we wanted were accounted for, and more importantly helped us make sure the things we hadn’t thought of were considered.
My husband and I personally had the best time, but beyond us, almost every one of our guests have approached us to raved about the band's performance and how they kept the dance floor was packed all night!
I also was completely blown away when the band played "Taki Taki" live. It was on our must play list and I was completely expecting them to play the recorded track and the fact that they learned that track for our wedding is just above and beyond. It made my night!
I’d recommend HOWL2GO to any couple planning a wedding or anyone planning an event where you want the dance floor full from beginning to end.

Hiring Howl 2 Go was the absolute highlight of our wedding. It was so unique to have dueling pianos, and everyone LOVED it. I've never seen a wedding where tons of people were on the dance floor all night. I would say at the end (12:30 AM), we still had about 90% of the wedding guests, and at least half on the dance floor.
Jordan was super professional and easy to work with. We had trouble with a lot of wedding vendors, and I can honestly say that this band was 1 of 2 that didn't give me any headaches or trouble. They helped edit music, let us customize every aspect of our night, and were just so much fun.
We hired an additional drummer and guitarist. They brought lighting and provided anything that was needed.
I highly recommend hiring Howl 2 Go for your wedding!

Was a great, unique live music option for our wedding. We had some very specific requests for music throughout our entire day and our coordinator, Jordan, made everything possible! There were people out on the dance floor ALL night and Jordan made the planning process as simple and stress-free for me which I certainly appreciated! You will not be disappointed booking them!

We worked with Howl 2 Go Dueling Pianos for our daughter's wedding, and they truly exceeded every expectation. Our artists, Jessarae Baily and Mark Johnson were UNBELIEVABLY talented and kept our guests engaged and entertained the entire evening. We were in awe of their unlimited repertoire and ability to spontaneously accommodate a sing-along by the father of the bride during his speech! They truly made the evening special, and we are so appreciative.

One of the best decisions we made! We moved our wedding date due to Covid and we wanted to treat ourselves to dueling pianos because we love piano bars. My husband and I love to dance at weddings and just have a good time and there was no shortage of that at our wedding! Couldn't have received better compliments from our guests and for most they said it was one of the best weddings they've been too (second to only their own). I regret nothing about hiring them - they were interactive and read the crowd well and the dance floor was full the entire night - just like we wanted!

If you’re looking for something extremely fun, engaging and different for entertainment, I would highly recommend Howl 2 Go. We were having trouble creating a reception timeline and they’ve done so many weddings they basically laid it out for us, which was extremely helpful and appreciated. The live show is three hours long and you can choose as many songs as you want (the musicians know between 300-500 songs) and then let your guests request the rest! The musicians are truly talented and professional and will make all of your announcements as well. Our guests loved this especially because no one has been to a live show in ages due to the pandemic!!

Having Howl2GO at our wedding was the best decision ever! Their repertoire of songs is outstanding and they did a fantastic job playing songs that kept people dancing all night long! Jordan was absolutely fantastic and helped the wedding (they provided the sound system), toasts, and the reception move so smoothly. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and will keep them in mind for any future fun events. If you want your wedding to be special, you need Howl2GO!

Everyone that I came in contact with from Howl was PHENOMENAL. Tommy our contact was responsive and helpful with multiple phone calls leading up to the wedding day. The players the day of were professional, talented and kept the dance floor as packed as it good be given the pandemic restrictions. They did a great job emceeing the night as well. Everyone had great things to say about them and said it was exactly what they needed after this crazy year. Absolutely recommend howl at the moon for your future wedding!

My husband and love Howl at the Moon, so we decided to make the plunge to go with Howl2Go. They exceeded every expectation we had. We chose the live music for cocktail hour- which Brian KILLED!!! Then we chose the two pianos, guitar, and drums for our wedding reception of 200+ people.
Emily, the coordinator made the process smooth and never left us with any questions. She was efficient, friendly, and organized. Even with a few bumps along the planning process, because of the venue, Emily and Wes made everything we envisioned possible.
The band was amazing, and when I say amazing I mean out of this world. Brian and the guys were professional, full of energy, and the dance floor was never empty! Choosing Howl2Go for our wedding band was the best decision we have made, we had people raving (and still complimenting) us on the atmosphere Howl2Go created. I can't thank them enough!

I absolutely would recommend Howl to other couples for their wedding. Kate and I wanted to have a live music experience at our wedding, but with the variety of music selection similar to a DJ. Howl is the perfect group to do this as their artists can play any genre, and even more importantly read the room to get the guests involved on the dance floor.
Our Howl artists absolutely crushed their performance, at no point in the night were people not out on the dancefloor. At one point in the night, Kate and I got up on the stage with the players and jammed out with them tambourine and cowbell style.
The lead-up to the event was pleasant and painless, all we had to do was provide general info about our guest demographics, the vibe we were going for, a couple of key songs and they took care of the rest.
Hiring Howl for our wedding was top 5 one of the best decisions of the day. Period.

Emily and Jordan rocked our wedding! Emily was my go-to person during the planning phase and was very responsive and helpful. On our big day, her and Jordan worked with our wedding planner to make sure everything went smoothly. Their singing, piano skills, music selection and announcements were exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding! In fact, one of our guests already booked Howl2Go for a retirement party.

We were so pleased with Howl 2 Go for our brewery wedding in July. From planning the event to take down after our ceremony was over, the team at was super accommodating, professional, and personable. Our guests felt as if they were attending a rock concert at our wedding and were in awe of the players skill and entertaining personalities. Everyone loved that they were able to control the songs by requesting their favorite music and then having it played. I've been recommending Howl 2 Go to my friends for their weddings and private parties as well as I was so thrilled by the awesome experience. Even my older guests were up dancing and singing the night away! Special shout out to Rachel who blew us away with an amazing cover/mash up of our favorite Lady Gaga songs as well as Tommy for killing it on the guitar! You guys were amazing! Big thanks also to Emily for helping coordinate everything so smoothly!

We got married in September. We took a chance and decided to try something a bit different for our wedding, and we are so glad we did!! Howl2go was absolutely awesome!! Tommy and Rachel’s voices were outstanding and they were very professional. They kept our timeline on track when we started dinner a bit late, and they kept the dance floor packed the whole night. 10/10! We would absolutely hire them again, and would recommend them to anyone.

There is a reason they have a 5 star rating! Howl2Go was amazing from start to finish. Working with Emily was easy & she had so much great advice & help for a clueless bride such as myself. After seeing her & her fellow performer at my sister's wedding, I knew they would be perfect for mine as well. Our guests loved being able to request songs and the overall performance was mind blowing. I highly recommend for any event! Thank you for making our day so special!

Howl2Go Dueling Pianos were an incredible addition to our wedding day! From our first inquiries, Emily’s excellent communication skills and prompt responses made coordinating the entertainment easy and fun and we knew we had made the right choice. Coordinating with the local players to select playlists for the cocktail hour, dinner, and special songs/announcements was exciting and so simple. John was extremely flexible with announcements and timing, not to mention a skilled player who kept the party going all night along with the other pianist and drummer! The live show kept us and our guests dancing, singing loudly, and continually requesting more. We didn’t want the show or the fun to end. Almost a week later, I’m still smiling and running songs and memories through my head. Our guests can’t stop telling us and others what an outstanding part of our wedding day Howl2Go Dueling Pianos were and we couldn't agree more! I would recommend Howl2Go to any couple looking to add live music, open requests, high energy, and a wonderful time to their wedding day.

When we got engaged, one of the first vendors that we booked was Howl 2 Go and we are SO GLAD that we did! From the beginning, Kassidy and Emily were so helpful in answering any questions that we had in the process, down to the final days with last minute questions. We ended up having the two pianos, drums, and then added on a guitar last minute and are so happy that we did. The entire band was AMAZING and did such a great job interacting with the audience. Jordan was a great MC and performer. Howl 2 Go also did a great job mixing our pre-recorded music for us for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests were dancing the entire night, and we had such a blast dancing to our favorite songs and requests. If you want a wedding where ALL of your guests are dancing, you will not regret using Howl 2 Go. It was arguably one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding!

Howl 2 Go was by far our favorite wedding vendor. We were quick to choose them originally as we're big fans of Howl at the Moon and we were not disappointed! We used Howl 2 Go for all our music for our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, MC, recorded music during dinner, and reception entertainment. The planning process was super smooth- Emily did a great job keeping in touch with us and taking care of all the logistics. They brought all their own sound, lighting, staging, and music equipment and even brought separate equipment for the ceremony and reception (in two separate places) to avoid having to move things and set up again during cocktail hour. They also provided all the sound/ mics for our officiant and our speeches during dinner. The show was SPECTACULAR and many guests told us that they'd be using Howl 2 Go for their next events. Our biggest piece of advice is to upgrade to the 4 piece band- that way the musicians can switch instruments throughout the evening. We had a variety of pianos+drums+guitar in addition to trumpet, electric fiddle, and keytar. One of our band members is a sound engineer and he was able to modify some of the recorded songs we requested throughout the evening to make sure that the first dances didn't stretch on too long. Almost all 220 of our guests stayed to the very end of the night to watch the band. Howl really knows how to command a room and put on a show!

My interest in Howl2Go initially peaked because it was actually well under out budget for live music at our wedding. I was intrigued, as I had frequented the Boston bar location multiple times and was unaware that they performed at weddings, as well. The more I learned, the more I grew excited. Emily was an excellent administrator, answering all questions and addressing concerns along the way - excellent customer service. Fast forward to the day of. I could not be more pleased with the quality, talent and sheer entertainment that the musicians delivered - they were phenomenal. Countless guests (including several "music snobs") came to tell me during and after the reception just how impressed they were start to finish. If you're considering live music in Boston and do not want to pay $10,000 for a 7 piece band, choose Howl2Go (I had an extra guitar and drums which made a huge difference). You will not regret your decision, I promise.

The music was great. Performers were definitely talented. The musician who made the announcements though was not very good. He stumbled through what he was trying to say and made incorrect announcements. Also the show was not interactive which I was kind of disappointed about. We easily could have just gotten a generic piano player for cheaper.

Howl2Go was what made our wedding reception, no doubt! They were so easy to work with up to the day before our wedding and then knocked it out of the park at our reception. From keeping the reception flowing (toasts, pie cutting, etc.) to keeping the party going. The dance floor was packed up until they left. We couldn't have asked for a better band at our reception!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Howl2Go! From the beginning, they were so helpful and attentive and Emily was a pleasure to work with. They were organized and scheduled phone calls with us to make sure everything was coordinated perfectly and were so helpful in answering all of our questions and accommodating last minute changes/requests. They created a google doc where we could see all of the details and make any changes needed. They even took the time to go through everyone's names and make sure they had the right pronunciation for announcements, etc. Our wedding was in Ellicottville, NY and they drove 3 hours from Pittsburgh, PA to play at our reception, so even if there is not a Howl at the Moon nearby, it's worth looking into whether they're available for your wedding. We booked the two pianos, drummer, and guitar player, and were so glad we did! At our reception, the dance floor was packed from start to finish, and all of our guests--young and old--danced the entire night! Several of our guests told us that it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding, and we have Howl2Go to thank for that! On top of everything, they are incredibly reasonably priced. Truly the best decision ever!

I wish I could give a 5 star review for this vendor and my wedding. Everything went smoothly in the planning process. I had emails, calls, and a form that I filled out detailing everything for them and Emily was awesome to work with. I was confident that everything would go smoothly. However when it came time for my reception, there must have been some miscommunication with the band about the timeline and things got messed up. I had not ever spoken to or emailed anyone in the band so if they had questions, I was never alerted. Then the songs that I had requested to not be played, were played. So after all of that, I cannot give 5 stars but I will say this is one unique experience for guests and my guests seemed to have a great time! I would still recommend them to anyone.

The initial set up and consultation was precise and time efficient. The coordinator called with the VP of entertainment and went through, step by step, the program, what I wanted, and planned out everything to make my job so easy. If I needed to change anything leading up to the wedding day, I could go on the google doc that was set up by the coordinator, and make additions/subtractions that we could personalize our day with (even if the first dance song changed 8 times!) Changes to song choices and order could even be made as late as the day of! The band was vibrant and my family and guests enjoyed the live band experience. Definitely recommend seeing them live at Howl at the Moon in Boston if you have time. Definitely recommend for any wedding

Howl2Go was the perfect choice for our wedding! The second they started playing, everyone, and truly, everyone, was out on the dance floor. They were super easy to work with and were very prompt in returning any emails/phone calls with questions & updates. We were in a small barn for our wedding with no stage and they made it work perfectly. I would highly suggest to anyone!!

My husband made it clear early on in the planning process that he wanted live music. I was skeptical that we could find a band that fit our budget. Howl2Go was perfect solution. At other weddings we’ve been to the dance floor sometimes clears out, but ours was occupied at all times. The band even gamely learned to play “I’ll make a man out of you” from Mulan for us because we knew it would get all our friends sing-screaming. Thank you so much Dan and the east coast crew. You were amazing!

Having dueling pianos at my wedding has always been a dream of mine. Howl2Go could not have done a more amazing job! Our wedding was in Kansas City and our players were Wes, Nick, and Chris. We had the 2 pianos and the drummer. We were going back and forth on adding a drummer and we are so glad that we did with our number of guests (approximately 175). It was a great addition. They did a great job playing during dinner and then kept the party going all night long. The dance floor was packed all night long. At the end of the night many guests said they hoped dueling pianos would become the next wedding trend because they enjoyed them so much...and I hope that becomes true! Howl2Go was by far the most organized vendor that I worked with during the wedding process. They made sure the evening went as we wanted and thought of things we wouldn't have. They saved the requests cards for us and it was fun to go back and see what everyone requested. I highly recommend using Howl2Go for your wedding or any kind of event that you are looking for live music!

We pride ourselves on our pre-production of our weddings to ensure we're fully on the same page throughout the process and we're so happy you appreciated this in the lead up to your big day. Thank you again for having us perform and congratulations to you both!

Howl2Go played at our Chicago wedding. It has been about a month after our event, and our guests are still RAVING about the experience. The band was easy to work with and accommodated every request we had. They helped us bring down the house with "Shout" as our last song. The night was so perfect, I was moved me to tears.

My bride and I cannot say enough amazing things about Emily and her team. Emily had regular phone calls with us to go over flow and she had some amazing suggestions. Her outgoing personality was flawless in keeping the wedding details moving. From announcing cocktail hour, to dinner, speeches and games and more. We loved working with her and their show made the reception amazing.
On a special note Emily worked with our friend who played the tenor sax for our processional. Holy smokes it was amazing. She handled all communication with him leading up to the ceremony. Emily also played our first dance song and rehearsed with our minister who sang it. Those two pieces were custom requests and it was the best choice to hire Howl 2 Go.

day magical. Incorporating your friend's tenor sax into the ceremony made the wedding truly unique. We hope we can come back and party all over again sometime in the future!

Having Howl2Go at our wedding was the best decision we made! We had the full band (2 pianos, guitarist, and drummer) and they were amazing! Emily and Jordan were extremely professional and even reached out to all of my other vendors to coordinate everything so I didn't have to act as a middle man. I got so many compliments from my guests afterwards about the band, and all of my guests literally danced all night! Loved them!

Howl 2 Go played at my October wedding, and they were the life of the party!! While planning my wedding, I was so concerned about making sure the guests had a blast & our wedding was one for the books. Now I look at pictures & videos, and EVERYONE was on the dance floor singing & dancing of all ages! We had the best time, and everything from booking to day of was very professional, timely & reliable. Thank you Howl 2 Go & team!! :)

We used Howl2Go for our Baltimore wedding. From the planning stages through the performance itself, the representatives were very professional and the performers were extremely entertaining. They allowed for enough customization in the show to make the event our own without detracting from the naturally open-ended nature of a dueling pianos performance.

We used Howl 2 Go at our wedding in RI in June and our guests still rave about it. The music was family friendly and appealed to a wide age range. The singers were absolutely fantastic, especially Jenris Gonzales. Our one and only complaint was that the MCing of the evening was not always smooth - the lead singer did not follow our order of events for speeches and the anniversary dance was not executed without the bride making sure that they called couples off after the song played through. Still, we are glad that we booked Howl for our wedding and it was a very memorable aspect of the night.

Having Howl2Go play at our wedding reception was one of the best decisions my fiancé and I could have made. Our main contact was Emily. From the get-go, she was organized, kind, and helpful. Our wedding and reception were both in a tiny town about 4 hours outside of Chicago. Three incredibly talented musicians (Emily, Jordan, and Jahari! Highly recommend all three!) travelled from Chicago to emcee, sing, play the piano, play the guitar, and play the drums. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and we received SO many compliments about the musicians! Although Howl2Go was a splurge for us, we are so happy we decided to book them. Overall, we highly recommend Howl2Go for anyone interested in having a live band at their wedding.

This was my splurge when planning my daughter's wedding and it was so worth it!! Howl2Go was phenomenal to work with in every way. I opted for the 4 piece band, as I love live music and think it adds a memorable touch to wedding receptions. Emily was my main contact, and ensured that all details were attended to. I was planning the event from out of state, so most of our communication was by email, but she kept us on track. The musicians were awesome, and our lead musician was outstanding. He was so easy to work with, flexible, interactive, personable. He also provided ceremony music as well. We were outdoors, with a tent and a generator, and everything went perfectly. All of our guests commented on how awesome the music was and many said it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to!

Five stars is not enough for the outstanding job that Howl2Go did at our wedding. People were on the dance floor until the very last minute. The band members were very kind to all the guests and honored most of the requests that they suggested. They nailed our first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son dances and they were spot on with the microphone when people were giving speeches. Honestly I didn't even notice when they were setting up or tearing down because they were able to take care of everything by themselves.
My husband and I love attending Howl at the Moon so picking Howl2Go for our wedding was an easy choice. All of the coordinating staff is very knowledgable/helpful and often respond within minutes to emails or phone calls. I highly recommend dueling pianos for anyone thinking about a live band for their wedding and the best choice for a live band is Howl2Go!

We are so happy we chose Howl2Go for our wedding in April! After a month or so of searching for the perfect live music performers, we reached out to Howl2Go and got nothing but the best service, including prices! We ended up going with 2 pianos and a drummer and got a ton compliments from guests! After speaking with Emily, who was nothing but the best, we also decided to have a piano playing in the foyer while guests arrived, which Howl2Go did seamlessly. 10/10 recommend!

We didn't know 100% what to expect when we booked Howl2Go for our wedding reception. We had seen the (excellent) performances at the bar, but had never seen them at a destination venue such as a wedding. I am so glad we took the "risk" and had them play at our reception! We specifically requested Tommy & Rachel, who were absolutely outstanding. We also requested a drummer along with the dueling pianos. They played the entire reception with requests directly from the guests, and didn't take a single break. And they nailed the requests! Honestly, incredible. We received countless compliments from our guests that this was the best live music at a wedding that they had ever seen. I can't recommend Howl 2 Go enough. What a great decision!

Wow, we are so happy we went with Howl 2 Go for our wedding! It was completely unique and had everyone dancing and singing - which is exactly what we wanted! They were great in planning, on time for set up and the people the entire crew that came was great! They also helped MC are wedding and receptive to things that changed! We were nervous about spending the money on this but worth it, much more entertaining and unique than a dj.

I can't say enough positive and amazing things about Howl2Go! Our dance floor was packed, the music was incredible, and everyone had the best time!! So many of our guests complimented us on such a fun and unique band and told us it was the most fun wedding they've been to! We truly couldn't have asked for more! It was a great show, and they were so involved and responsive during the planning and leading up to the wedding. They also offered ceremony support, which I highly recommend! 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, round of applause!

We could not have been happier with Howl. Our wedding was just at the end of February. We had 250-some guests, and everyone LOVED the music. They can play anything and take requests non-stop. We worked with them to arrange our special song for the first dance, and they absolutely nailed it. They even sent us a preview recording the week before our big night. It was obvious that they were having fun, and that really translated to everyone at our reception. No one could believe it when 1am rolled around and we actually had to go home.
