ends and family members who approached us after saying how great It Takes Two was. Maybe the best decision we made for the wedding!
Jon spent the time to meet with us, get to know us and gather our input on what kind of wedding music we wanted and helped us develop our vision. He made suggestions but always deferred to our wants and needs. He and his group were extremely pr...
ofessional and did such a fantastic job that most of our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they enjoyed the music at ever point in the ceremony, cocktail hour, during dinner and during the post dinner dancing portion of the evening. It was really important to us that our guests enjoy themselves, so it could not have been more perfect. We hope there will be another social event in our future where we will have the opportunity to use Jon and his band again.
Jon and It Takes Two were amazing at our wedding. They had the entire crowd on the dance floor the night. Even the people who don't dance stayed to sit and listen to the music all night. Truly professional, accommodating and respectful. Listene...
d to requests and handled the evening professionally! Guests inquired about the band for future events immediately after the wedding!
The best band, worth every penny. Guests raved about the music and everyone was asking how to get in contact. Would use them again in a heartbeat - you can't beat this talent. Had the wedding of our dreams.
It Takes Two was AWESOME! We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding music and the dance floor was packed the entire time! We love seeing them every time they are in our area too!
The thing we most cared about for our wedding day, was that it was overall a fun time! Therefore, we put most of our efforts into picking a band that would help make our wedding day memorable! It Takes Two kept our guests dancing all night! We ...

stop messages, calls, and emails from friends and family saying how you are literally the best band they've ever heard at a wedding or an event and we couldn't agree more! It Takes Two exceeded all of our expectations (which were very high!) and made our night so special, memorable and fun! I honestly have never heard a band this great in my life and I listen to a lot of live music. The dance floor was PACKED and people were having the best time from start to finish! They are professional, prompt, nice, fun, cool, hip uber-talented and not cheesy! They played every song we asked for and even learned some new ones just for us! They are seriously THAT good! I looked at a LOT of bands before picking It Takes Two and I 100000% made the right choice! Book them now before someone else does--you will not regret it!!! Thank you It Takes Two for giving us the best night of our lives!
Love, Emily & Bill

Sam, it was a pleasure putting together the entertainment for your wedding. Everything turned out perfect. Thank you again for having us and hopefully we'll see you soon!
If you are looking to throw the wedding party of a lifetime, It Takes Two is the way to go. Our wedding was at a formal country club, and instead of having a traditional 12 piece wedding band, we shook it up with IT2. They're SO fun, energetic,...
and know how to rule a crowd. Our reception felt like an amazing night out with friends at a bar, and everyone from grandparents to friends were on the dance floor all night. They MCd the night so smoothly and completely understood all our music tastes. They were the highlight of the night, and our friends and family are still talking about them.

Thank you so much for the kind words Rachel. I'm glad we could be a part of your special day!
It Takes Two was such a great pick for our wedding! They not only had everything that we were looking for to see us through the entire day and night, but were so easy to work with and sounded great to top it off! Our ceremony, reception, and af...
ter hours were all at the same venue, but we wanted the music to fit the mood for each. We had a two piece band for the ceremony, a pianist for the cocktail hour, an jazz band for dinner, 5 piece band band for dancing, and finally a DJ for our after hours. They were able to accommodate us perfectly! Working with Jon on all the details was a breeze, He was so on top of everything and answered all of our questions and even provided suggestions on timing for the day. We received so many compliments on the band, and are so happy we went with It Takes Two!

Thanks for having us play Clint and Meghans wedding!
It Takes Two is a breath of fresh air. They played at a recent wedding reception I was at for a friend and was blown away by their performance. From the lights, sound, and way they interacted with the crowd, they put on a awesome show. Also, ...

Thank you for the kind words and for having It Takes Two entertain you and your guests on your special day!
I recommended It Takes Two for my best friend's wedding this past summer. I've seen the band twice and each time the party was amazing. The dance floor was full immediately and stayed that way. Brandon and Stefanie are fantastic singers. I ...
swear the two of them could sing just about anything! The whole band was super professional and handled the night flawlessly. The highlight of the night was the father daughter dance. The band made it a perfect moment for the bride. I highly recommend It Takes Two for your special event.
