Best. Money. Spent. Intensity Bands made my wedding a dream! Could not recommend this group more for your next event! Not only was CK and his team friendly, but the band was amazing! I wouldn't get off the dance floor just to make sure, I soaked in all their greatness! If I had a wedding tomorrow, I would bring them back! Honestly, I'm looking for another event just to hire them again! :-)

Intensity Bands performed at our October wedding at the Arboretum and our guests are still raving about them over a month later. They were INCREDIBLE and truly made our evening so exceptional. Their setlist, dance moves and overall energy were all off the charts and we cannot stop replaying the entire night over and over again. They had an incredible list of songs to choose from and the team was so easy to work with. 10/10 recommend and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Intensity Bands was hands down the best wedding band we could have asked for! From the very first song, they had everyone on the dance floor, and the energy never dropped. Months later, people are still raving about how amazing the band was, and we constantly get asked who played at our wedding because they were that unforgettable.

We had so much fun at our wedding with this band!! We went with the 5-piece DJ hybrid and it was perfect for our 100-guest wedding. Justin and Donna were absolutely phenomenal, and the energy kept us on the dance floor all night! I can't recommend them enough -- thank you for all the memories!!

Amazing – one of the best wedding decisions that we made was choosing Intensity as the band for our wedding in May 2023. They played a variety of songs that got everyone out on the dance floor – from our younger cousins to 80-year-old grandparents. Each musician is so talented, together they sounded perfect. Throughout the process, the coordinators adapted to our requests and strived to make our day special and personalized. We got so many compliments about them!!

This band is the ABSOLUTE BEST band you could ever hire for your wedding! The dance floor was full and people couldn’t stop dancing! Their energy, sound, vocals and musicians were simply incredible! So many people kept coming up to us asking us how we found such incredible talent. Even if you felt like you needed to sit and take a break from dancing - watching and listening to them felt like a concert. The professionalism of this organization from the administrative side to the performers is unparalleled. As the parents of the bride we felt so gratified with our choice when we hired In10city bands. Look no further- this is the best money you will spend on your wedding day ! Thanks to Heather and Autumn for helping us coordinate everything and special thanks to Jackie, Gil and Steven for incredible vocals, all of the musicians were outstanding!

WOW! In10city was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! I knew music was going to be one of the top vendors I wanted for our wedding, and a good live band was a MUST for us. We interviewed a few bands in the DFW area but decided on in10city for their amazing customer service and INCREDIBLE artists. CK and Kim were a dream to work with, and I truly believe they are less about business and more about relationships/ making sure the couples they work with are happy. They are passionate about this field they're in!
Kim was a rockstar on stage, and every single/band member was top notch. We even had a saxophone player come and he was a HIT! I had so many people come up to me at the wedding and rave about the band. They really kept everyone moving and groovin on the dance floor! Cannot recommend more highly!

I cannot say enough great things about In10city. They were truly the best wedding band I've ever seen. They're so professional and really bring the energy. I requested Tiffany, Gil, and Sean and they're all amazing -- as is the rest of the band. You can't go wrong with any band member. They'll bring you on stage too if you like! What stands out about the band is that they're known for their mashups, so they'll combine multiple songs into one. I love this because you'll never get bored and won't leave that dance floor. They also play songs that a lot of bands don't offer. They're not just your classic wedding songs. You also get to choose a few songs that you must hear + let them know songs that you do not want played. In addition, you get to choose 3 songs that you'd like for them to learn! You can use these songs for a first dance, last dance, etc. I get the chills when I hear them play. You will not regret booking In10city. I still have my wedding guests ask me about them to this day. They will give you the chills. Book In10city!!

The band is fantastic. From the initial phone call to the wedding night dance party, it was a great experience. They played perfect music to start off, ramping it up as the evening progressed. The energy in the room was so fun. They were classy, fun, engaging and just great. Everyone was commenting on what a great band it was. The guests “forced” them to play one last song. No one wanted it to end.
I couldn’t recommend them more.

Hire Intensity band and you'll never hear your guests stop talking about how fun your wedding was! From the beginning, Ian made the entire booking process so easy and fun - he was truly a pleasure to work with. Plus, the portal Intensity uses for planning and song choices is super user friendly and makes the experience stress-free. The band's #1 goal is to ensure the couple is happy and every wish is granted flawlessly - from announcing the couple, to first dances, to mother-of-the-bride song requests to pulling people on stage and interacting with the crowd. And the stage lighting and entire set-up made our guests feel like they had front row tickets to an amazing concert! I highly recommend hiring Intensity for an unforgettable wedding reception!

Hiring the Intensity Band was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their variety was insane, they read the room all night, and they kept the dance floor PACKED from the moment they started playing until the last dance. Almost every single guest at our wedding has commented on how incredible they were. We want to get married all over again just to have them play! WE LOVE INTENSITY!!!!

OH MY GOD THIS BAND!! We are a month passed our wedding and we STILL get texts and letters about how amazing this band was. My husband and I are in the entertainment business and so are most of our friends, and they truly cannot stop talking about how amazing the wedding was (we are all very picky lol). I had a friend of mine say " this is the best night of my life, and it's not even my wedding!!" You would be remiss not to hire Intensity for your wedding or any special event. SO much fun!! and just such a pleasure to work with over all.

We wanted our reception to be a big celebration and Intensity brought the party! We got so many compliments from guests on how fun our band was. If we had to do it all over- we would choose them again! Each member did an awesome job. Crystal was our contact and was easy to communicate with. She was also our lead female vocalist and rocked it. Our lead male vocalists were Ian and JaQuay who brought the party. The dance floor was packed almost the entire evening. Thank you Intensity!

When we first started planning our son's wedding, a friend suggested that we consider Intensity band. We attended one of their showcases last year before the pandemic shutdown. Once we heard them, we did not consider any other band. Planning was very easy with our assigned coordinator, Crystal. She presented a proposed timeline, and we did tweak it a bit, but everything went perfectly. Not only did she do all the announcements and kept us on schedule, she brought true energy to the party.
The entire band rocked! We added horns to the mix, and it was perfect. The range of music that was played was great for everyone. Our vocalists, Crystal, Devin and Jorge were awesome! Our guests never left the dance floor. I have received many comments that this was the best wedding band that many of our friends have every experienced. FABULOUS!

Hire this band for your wedding! As a wedding planner in the DFW area, I've worked with almost every band in the city. When it came time for my own wedding, it was an easy choice to have Melange perform. I danced so much at my own wedding I hardly visited with our guests. We received so many compliments throughout the night and everyone loved the band. Kim and team are just outstanding!!!

We were a little skeptical about people dancing at our wedding in the midst of COVID, but somehow In10City got the party started and everyone was on the dance floor! We even requested a custom song for our first dance and they executed it perfectly. Even through a post-ponement In10City was extremely flexible and understanding of our situation. They were quick to respond and always personable. Having them perform at our wedding was some of the best $ we spent.

We found In10City by a recommendation by one of my bridesmaids because they were the "best band" she had ever heard at a wedding. In10City went ABOVE AND BEYOND from start to finish. They made the process seamless and were so easy to work with from day one. CK was so knowledgeable and truly understood our needs. We ended up going with a 6-piece band with two singers and a sax player for our wedding of 70 people. They have a portal where you can lay out exactly the types of songs you want played (or don't want played) and every preference you have for the whole night. They played during dinner and for the whole reception. Let me tell you - In10City was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our wedding. People were on the dance floor the entire night. They absolutely crushed it! Not your average wedding band by any stretch of the imagination but truly a first-class band. The singers were incredible and the musicians blew our socks off. We had an absolute blast and our guests are still talking about how In10city is THE BEST wedding band they've ever heard. Whatever you do, hire In10City right now if it's the only thing you do, you will still have the most fun wedding ever!

The best advice I received before our wedding was: “choose vendors you trust”. We took that to heart and chose each of our vendors based on quality and trust. In10City exceeded our expectations (and I have high expectations). Having a COVID wedding, they worked with us each step of the way: planning, re-planning and maybe even re-planning and made our day THE BEST day. Our original wedding was going to be over 200 people, and we had to pair down to 28 guests. Joe worked with us directly to change our original 7 piece band to our new vision of two vocalists with a guitar. Jorge and Jackie rocked it. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how talented they were. Even with the paired down set, we were still able to dance. They learned a few songs for us, played lots of classic dance songs like "Shout", as well as sang during dinner. I would highly recommend In10city: they have very talented musicians and work with you to execute your vision.

In10City Band is INCREDIBLE!!! No other band compares. Truly. They performed at my sister in laws wedding and I couldn't get off the dance floor. Luckily we were able to get them for my wedding the following year! My husband and I got married during COVID. We ended up cancelling our small Hawaii ceremony, cancelling our big reception and throwing a full wedding locally with WEEKS notice to our vendors and guests. My mother in law worked hand in hand with the owner to try and make it happen and boy did they! We had been disappointed multiple times with all that was happening and this was the best gift for our special day. With 5 wedding dates you better believe we danced our butts off! They brought the energy to the wedding and we had a blast! Every guest couldn't get over how impressive they were. In10city goes above and beyond with every detail. HIGHLY recommend getting them!!

Hands down the best live band I have ever seen! This band is so amazingly talented and the most professional! My husband and I spent months looking for the right band as we knew it would be difficult to get our families out on the dance floor. We originally found a different band at first but we were burned after they switched singers on us after we paid the deposit. I was so distraught and angry that we were six months away from the wedding with no band. But luckily, our wedding planner recommended In10city and I couldn’t be happier with this band! Sam was a dream to work with and was beyond accommodating. When we scoped out the band, we couldn’t believe how talented they all were! This vendor is organized and extremely trustworthy! At our wedding we were going to have bilingual guests and we are able to provide some Spanish entertainment with our singer Gil, during the cocktail hour which we loved! This band had everyone on the dance floor and made it the most fun night we ever had. They are beyond anything we could of dreamed of. My favorite moment was the private last dance my husband and I had with the band. It was a moment I will never forget.

Only book in10city if you want people to tell you it's the best wedding they've ever been to repeatedly. Out of everything we prioritized we thought that having an amazing band would lead to everyone having the best time. We had great food, we had a beautiful venue, but what people will remember in 5-10 years is how much fun they had because of in10city. It doesn't matter if the majority of your guests are older or younger. They have mastered the science behind getting everyone to the dance floor and mixing up all the genres of songs that keep everyone having a great time all night. On top of that, a full on set it and forget it easy company to work with. Highly recommend in10city.

If you are looking for a LATIN band, do NOT discard In10City. I am Mexican and my husband is American and getting a band that could handle both cultures was my main priority. I can not say how AMAZING this band performance was at my wedding. The owner worked with me directly and was extremely helpful and accommodating. They give you options to learn songs that are special to you so I asked for Spanish songs. Which honestly, these 3 singers did a priceless job. My wedding was a complete hit. We were dancing until 2am and I am sure it was because we had the best live band one can ask for. Not only did they learn my Spanish songs and the communication with the team was outstanding but I must say the QUALITY of performance and audio was more than extraordinary. The singers would interact with the dance floor which is what i asked them to do... to keep the party going and make sure they were having fun with the party. As per the price, they are at par with other bands I got a quote from but to be honest, for what they delivered, I think I got a great deal. I am so grateful to have found In10City Band.

Hiring In10city for our wedding was hands down the best decision we ever made. We had over 350 guests and the number one comment we received from post-wedding was how great our band was. The dance floor was full all night. Band members took turns getting on the dance floor with us while they sang and played their instruments. It was AMAZING. They even let 30 of us get on stage with them during the very last song. Sam was so great getting all our questions answered during our initial phone call, and setting up our contracts was such an easy process. Jordana was our main point of contact & she was beyond incredible. The entire experience was seamless. Hire In10city!

When guests asked what I was most looking forward to about our wedding (aside from marrying my hubby), I immediately said "the band" -- and when it came time for our event, my guests had the same reaction. I heard over and over that this was THE BEST band they had ever heard at a wedding. In10City Band truly made our event amazing!
We were initially impressed with videos we saw online of their performances and wanted to hear more. We had the chance to attend a showcase at their offices -- set up like a cocktail hour -- where we enjoyed a free concert with vocalists and instrumentalists. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY. The band is incredible, and there was no doubt we wanted to book.
Some of the highlights: You can put in your preference for your lead vocalist. You can choose the number of vocalists and instrumentalists you would like to perform. You get to request up to three songs that they will learn for your event, and you can customize the genres performed throughout. They have solo instrumentalists on their payroll or available for contract for your ceremony and cocktail hour. They do both weddings and corporate events. Their performers are INCREDIBLE.
My only qualm was the poor communication from the event coordinators assigned to us. While super friendly and sweet, there would often be a lag in reply time and at times a miscommunication of information. However, our sales rep Sam and the owner Joe were extremely supportive throughout the booking and planning process and made sure our event was everything we hoped for and more.
Now, every time I hear a song that was played during the showcase or at our wedding, my hubby hears me say: "This was one of the band's songs!" If it were an option, I would go see them perform over and over again. We HIGHLY recommend for your event!

How can I even put into words how AMAZING in10city band was at our wedding. like WOW, knocked our socks off and we had so many people come up to us at the wedding to say that this was the best wedding band they've ever seen. They played absolutely everything for us, and we had them play the ceremony + cocktail hour as well; but their performance at our reception was beyond what we ever imagined! Our dance floor was PACKED the entire night thanks to in10cityband, and they allowed us to dance on stage with them during which was so fun!! They were so incredible and we feel so fortunate to have worked with them!

If you are having trouble making a decision about which band to have at your wedding, look no further. In10city is the only way to go! Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding and In10city knocked it out of the park. We had a 10 piece band and they were more than willing to accommodate us when we wanted to replace one of the singers with an extra horn. The HORNS--- have as many as you possibly can, they were amazing! My husband and I had some specific requests that might have been a little out of the ordinary, and they made it all work. One of the most important things to us was that we wanted the our guests dancing the night away and our wish came true. We were not planning to get off of the dance floor all night and were so happy that the dance floor was packed the entire time. The energy of the entire band was amazing the entire time they played and our guests are still talking about the BEST wedding band ever! Crystal was so easy to work with and we can't thank her and the entire band enough for giving us the perfect night.

We originally saw this band at a free performance and fell in love with the way they played, the vibe they gave...everything! As the wedding drew closer, we had issues with communication with our coordinator. We weren't sure if he received all the needed information, like the songs we wanted them to learn and play especially for us (first dances). We eventually got in full contact, and they assured us that everything was good to go. Well, on wedding day, they messed up some lyrics of our first dance and forgot a whole verse of my father-daughter dance. The singer found me on one of his breaks and profusely apologized saying that had never happened to him before and he felt absolutely awful. I told him it was alright, but honestly, it still does upset me because clearly the communication wasn't given early enough for the singers to rehears appropriately. So ultimately, it was an issue with communication. The rest of the evening was an awesome party and well worth every penny!!! Just make sure to hound your event coordinator and ensure the music you ask them to play is good to go.

Holy smokes! I wish there was an option for more than 5-stars on this review because this band truly deserves more. There aren’t enough words to do In10City justice, but I will try! Hands down, the best live wedding band. They are talented, interactive and have amazing song mashups. My husband and I love to entertain and wanted our reception to be an absolute blast for our guests. It wouldn’t have been half the party without In10City!! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Our guests are still raving about how good they were. My husband and I were truly blown away by them and their performance.
Justin Robinett, our coordinator, was there for us through the entire process. He was incredibly responsive and receptive to all ideas. He helped us coordinate a second line with the horns from the band from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. The horns stayed and jammed out with the guitarist we also booked with them and the ceremony strings for a few songs during the cocktail hour! It was so fun to see them all collaborate and work together. Not only was Justin great to work with, he is also a very talented performer! It was great to meet him in person at the wedding and sing and dance on stage with him. Seriously, the entire band was so great about involving myself, my husband and the audience. They let us crash the stage all night!
Booking In10city was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. We couldn’t have been happier and highly recommend! BOOK THEM NOW!

Without hesitation, I say HIRE THIS BAND!!!! They made our reception the best dance party ever! We had so many guests tell us they were the best wedding band they had ever seen, and so many want to hire them for their weddings now! In10city band is talented, interactive and they have a unique songlist with mashups that keep the party going all night long. I was incredibly picky about which band we chose as I knew they would make or break our reception. In10city took it to the next level! EVERYONE was on the dance floor -even the grandparents who swore they wouldn't dance! They are easy people to work with, super responsive, and kindly handled all of my special requests. From the band preview prior to booking, to the portal they give you to personalize the music selection, to the band coordinator assigned to your reception -- they are the best band to work with!

We hired The 7-piece After Party band from Intencity to play at our wedding and they were nothing short of amazing! They are all SO talented. We picked them because (1) they sound amazing and (2) we wanted everyone to be out on the dance floor all night, and let me tell you, at MIDNIGHT the venue had to MAKE us leave, and there were at least 100 people left chanting “One more song, one more song!” If that doesn’t show the night was a success, I don’t know what will! They were truly incredible! They also emcee’d our wedding and it was perfect! Everything was announced just right, the music to intros and dances was timed perfectly and they really ran a tight ship. Lastly, the equipment they use is great too—the sound quality was top notch, not only for the music but also mics for speeches too! They were fun, lively, and just outstanding to work with! I am SO glad we hired them for our wedding!

Absolutely incredible band! I’m a musician so I have very high standards and the most important thing for me for the wedding was the band. Not a DJ. They invite couples interested in hiring them for their wedding to a showcase where they play for a hour+ and give you a taste of what they will do for your reception. When they started playing, I knew instantly that we needed them. Being a full band, they are pricey compared to a DJ but that should be expected. Trust me when I tell you THEY got robbed. I had very high expectation of them leading up to the reception as well as had very specific “things” I wanted throughout the night. I worked with Kim Burns where, together, we coordinated the whole night from about 6 months out. Throughout that time we spent HOURS on the phone trying to problem solve and make my dream and vision come to life. She never pushed me aside or rushed off the phone. She always made time for me. Kim, you are a blessing and our reception wouldn’t have been half as incredible without you. The wedding ceremony is cool and all but the reception makes or breaks the whole day. And again, I had very high hopes for the reception. This band far exceeded anything I could have ever imagined and was worth way more than we paid. The whole night people were freaking out asking who these people were and we had guests that I expected to sit at their tables all night jumping into the middle of a dance circle and busting it out. We actually had to spread out the tables and make the dance floor bigger because we ran out of room. DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER THAN INTENSITY ENTERTAINMENT! BOOK THEM NOW!

We went to a showcase for In10City and they were fantastic. The drummer alone is out of this world. It was a difficult setting to perform in, as they're used to having more interaction with a crowd, but they found a way to keep the energy up. What I loved most was the band looked like they were genuinely having a good time. It was easy to see how they could absolutely bring the house down at a reception or event. Very professional!

We attended one of their showcases and were completely blown away. We researched a lot of other bands before finding In10City Band, and none could even compare. On our wedding day, everyone (my husband and I included) had a blast!! They are extremely high energy and the level of talent that this band has can't be beat. So many of our guests haven't stopped raving to us about this band. We very highly recommend them!!

We had In10City play at my daughter's wedding this past weekend at the Belo Mansion and they rocked it. Everybody was dancing the entire night or acted like they were a groupie at a concert and were up in the front dancing and singing along with the band. We had CK, Kim and Todd as our lead singers and we loved them from start to finish. They worked well with our wedding planner to go over the time line and they kept with the vibe that the bride and groom wanted for their wedding. I would book them over and over again if I had the choice….In10City is fantastic!

As Father of the Bride it was critical to select the key vendors for my daughters wedding. In10City delivered the experience we were looking for. They kept the guests on the dance floor all night long. Additionally they were extremely interactive and helpful with me throughout the planning process. Sam even doubled as our MC for the evening. Another recognition goes to Austin who not only help drive the event as a lead vocalist but he came in early to perform solo at the actual ceremony. You cant go wrong hiring this band for your wedding. I cant recommend them more highly.

Choosing In10City as our wedding band was the easiest decision we made during wedding planning. I had seen them perform at a friends wedding, and knew they would be a perfect match for us too! They are so accomodating and can set any type of vibe you would desire for your event which proves just how talented they are. They're high energy and excitement while performing really shows how much they love what they do! My favourite parts of the night were when they would join us on the dance floor and interact with our guests! They know how to show people a good time and I highly recommend them for your wedding too!!

In10city or Intensity……They are the best band for your wedding. They have been to most of the venues in Dallas so you can trust that they will have everything ready on your wedding day at your venue. Our venue, the ROOM ON MAIN was very familiar with them and said only the best things about them. Well not only that, but OMG, every song they sing they sounds like the artist. They will learn a new song you that you want if you give them 3 weeks advance notice. Please call them and get the dates that they showcase their band and go hear them. Then pick which players you want for your big day. Call them now.

We used In10City band for our daughters wedding.
We had 2 musicians who were guests at the wedding. They were blown away by the talent of the musicians.
For us the whole wedding was wonderful, energetic, fun and just perfect because of In10City.
They are passionate about what they do, and this showed throughout the wedding. The dance floor was always full. They seemed like they were having the best time, which totally drew everyone to the dance floor.Our guests are still talking about them and are planning on booking them.
In10city learned the Hora and performed it like they had done it for years, with energy and passion.
It is so hard to single anyone out as they are all excellent at what they do.
Sam, who originally signed us up, was also extremely helpful and made it so easy for us.
Kim was our coordinator and mc. She was a pleasure to work with and kept the flow perfect.
Cristian and Damon had the most engaging personalities. It makes you happy just to look at them.
It was really fun to find out that Jorge was on the voice this season. Loved despacito. We are rooting for him.
Our lineup was:
Cristian Roman on Trumpet
Darron Carrington on Sax
Cory Hailton on Bass
Dennis Ford on Drums
Eric Nikolaides on Guitar
Kim Burns on vocals
Brian "CK" Carter-kacho on vocals
Jorge Eduardo on vocals
Everyone of them were great. I wouldn't change a thing. The chemistry between them is electric. In fact I'd sign them up now for my other daughters wedding........(she's not even engaged yet.)
In10City is a band that gives it their all. They are the BEST around. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

If you're looking for a wedding band, call In10City right now!! Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how amazing and fun this band was. We've been asked so many times for our band's name and we will never stop recommending you!
We originally chose another band that sounded nice and was an inexpensive option. That quickly fell apart and In10City came to our rescue. Brides - do not let a better price fool you. You really do get what you pay for.
Communication with their coordinators and online portal was a breeze. The band played all of our "must haves" and respected our "do not play" list. Once In10City started playing our guests never left the dance floor! They were so engaging and sounded incredible! Highly recommend the horns section - they led guests to our dance floor and even followed us out at our grand exit! I asked my husband if we could do our wedding all over again just to have another party with In10City! Choosing In10City was one of our best wedding decisions and it was worth every. single. penny.

In10city deserves 10 STARS! Their performance at our reception was incredible- we didn't even have any video from friends at the party, because they were all up and dancing the ENTIRE night. In10city's energy, talent, and overall vibe really creates an environment that engages all the guests in the moment and they never want it to end. The whole dance floor started yelling "one more song" at the end of the evening, and friends called me for days after saying how much they loved them. I even have one friend planning to use them for her husbands next big birthday party later in the year! Can't wait to party with them again!
On top of their performance Kim was so great to work with and was really patient with us while trying to pick first dance, intro, and other songs before our wedding. She was easy to reach and eased my mind when there were things I was nervous about (that wasn't even in regards to the band.) She's just an overall great person and ever single one of the band members are fantastic. Don't even think twice, I'd hire them for an annual party if I could!

5 stars and beyond!! We cannot say enough great things about In10City! When my husband and I got engaged, we began planning our special day around the availability of In10City because we knew we had to have them at our wedding! In10City brings the FUN!!!
In10City has played at six of our close friends weddings, so needless to say, when they played at ours it was like we were hanging out all night with best friends! In10City is incredibly talented and were amazing to work with leading up to our day. I loved that they offered a portal for us to stay organized and all stay on the same page for the vibes of the evening!
We had the eight piece band and also had them do our lighting which turned out beautifully. We are so happy we went with the 8 piece so that we had those awesome sounds of the brass instruments! We had the time of our lives at our reception because In10City was sooo much fun! Every band member had us smiling big throughout the evening and kept the dance floor PACKED the whole night!! They let us come on stage as much as we wanted and made sure the night was extra special and memorable. Kim and the other singers do a great job of leading the night and making sure the flow is nice and smooth - that was super important to us! I truly could go on and on about this band - they are a MUST for your upcoming wedding. I would book them again and again 10000000x over!

I'm the father of the bride, and what our daughter and her then-fiance wanted most of all for the wedding was a great band that would drive a great party at the reception. Intensity delivered that with flying colors. Read the other reviews - what is written is true. The players were talented and engaging, and the dance floor was filled all night. That made me as the host of the party very happy. Book 'em, and make sure you add the horns - having the brass on stage really adds great depth to an already great sound.

Unfortunately, we had just an “okay” experience with this band. We advised them that we needed them to play “clean” songs- and even gave them a “no play” list. However, they still played songs that were not appropriate for our audience. Great talent, but we were disappointed that they did not listen. **Update in response to the vendor comment: We did the IDT Band on 9-2.17. I think you have the wrong date which is why you were confused.
Vendor response 01/17/2018
Hi again, we just noticed the update clarifying when you hired the band, and I'm really gl...
ad you did, because I think it's important for prospective clients to know that this review is coming from a church group who hired a Top 40 variety band for a church retreat. There is obviously some subjectivity to what are considered "clean" songs, and I'm not here to challenge your perspective, but I will clarify for others that the songs deemed "unclean" are the same chart-topping Bruno Mars songs played by every party band during every performance. It is a fair assessment that a band that primarily plays pop music will not be able to avoid every ounce of "suggestion" included in the vast majority of pop music of the last 50 years. To further clarify, we did ask for five "please play" songs and five "do not play" songs, and we did not receive this (the email threads are still available). We were only given general instructions to not use curse words, and to play "clean" songs. We even changed some lyrics out of respect for our audience (i.e. "sex by the fire" was changed to "chess by the fire", and we thought it was hilarious). With all of that said, we really do regret that you didn't have a positive experience, we certainly didn't mean to be offensive, and in retrospect we were likely not the best band for this church retreat. While our bands are incredibly versatile, we know we can't be all things to all people, and we are sorry that we were not what you were looking for. We wish you the best!

WORTH EVERY PENNY! In10city was definitely the highlight of my wedding. We had a conference call where we worked out all of the specific details. I also filled out their in depth survey that helped them to refine my wants and needs for the wedding.
They learned songs that I specifically wanted to hear and even adapted a song to a slower, acoustic version for a special father-daughter dance.
Even though I had watched videos of In10city before, there were still tons of surprises at the wedding! The horns section of the band was SO IMPRESSIVE and they interacted with the audience, playing from different areas of the dance floor. Additionally, the performers used not only the entire stage space, but the entire dance floor also and were very interactive.
These performers work HARD. They were dancing and singing their hearts out the entire performance. For my wedding they played a 45 minute set, 15 min break, 45 minute set, 15 min break, then a 90 minute set. The energy level stayed to the MAX throughout the entire reception.
Also - definitely use the lighting package! They have a great lighting guy moving around the reception area with an ipad throughout the reception making sure that the lighting coordinates with the music and that everything looks awesome!
I am so glad that I used In10City. They made my wedding so special! I would definitely hire them again for any important event. AMAZING.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted an amazing live band. I did all of my research because I wanted a band that would keep people (young and old) dancing all night long. Finally choosing a band is scary, especially if you haven’t seen them live before. Once I made the decision to go with In10city I felt like a weight had been lifted. Once I told my venue who our band was, their reaction said it all! They said “Wow! Your guests are going to have an awesome time!” The more people we told that we booked In10city the more people had the same reaction. I have to admit, I fell behind on my questionnaire with the band, I felt awful. I did not get our special songs to them before the deadline and they STILL performed them live and did an absolutely amazing job! My husband and I were so thrilled. I knew they were amazing with the first song. They played the perfect dinner music then it was party time! People were on the dance floor the ENTIRE night! The singers were absolutely incredible!!! The band moves around the venue, dances and interacts with the guests. They even pulled me and my husband on stage! We had the time of our lives and so did our guests! So many people asked us at the reception where we found the band and for their contact information. And to this day, people are STILL talking about how incredible they were! 3 months later! If you want a band with energy, true talent and pure professionalism you have found them! You will NOT regret booking In10city. They are the real deal!

I have lost count of how many people have asked me about our wedding band because they want to hire them or recommend them to friends and family. In10City did an amazing job at our wedding. After setting our wedding date picking the band was our first priority. We had never heard of In10City but we are so happy and lucky that we found them. The In10City team was responsive throughout the entire planning process and were always quick to answer any questions we had. Kim was the band leader for our wedding and we absolutely loved working with her. Kim worked with my wife and me to plan a timeline that would maximize the band’s playing time and keep our party wild and energetic. Kim sent my wife and me rehearsal edit of our first dance so we could practice. In10City kept the dance floor packed all night long and played the perfect mix to keep all ages engaged and dancing. We will always be grateful to Kim and In10City for making our wedding day that much more special!
