I am so blessed to have the opportunity to provide the soundtrack for the most important day of a couples life. To become friends with my couples and their families, to follow their lives as they grow, have kids, travel, buy their first house and grow together. Sometimes, I even get to do it again for a brother, sister, cousin or friend. Those times are like reunions! Who wouldn't love this job?
I say me but Jukebox is a band. We have been together, playing for hundreds of amazing couples for 15 years now. We are absolutely committed and passionate about what we do for our couples!

We hired Jukebox Productions for our wedding. We met with John initially to talk through pricing and what timing and cadence normally looks like. This was the most helpful conversation we had in our entire wedding planning process because through this, we realized we wanted more dance time and needed to make some asks from our venue to adjust the timing of our wedding. Even if we didn't ultimately book this band, I would have left a great review for all the help John provided.
As for the band themselves....they ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT. We met with David to talk through song choices. We picked a couple, had 2 requests which they luckily knew, and they picked the rest. We received endless compliments on the band - everything from the cocktail hour and dinner playlists, interactive MCing throughout the event, and most importantly how talented the musicians are. Good music was the most important thing to us for our reception and David and the band nailed it. We will never forget our wedding night because of this band - they are a must hire and worth every penny!

I hired Jukebox for my wedding in San Diego county in December 2024 and they were AMAZING! From our initial call, they were very transparent and communicative about their services. We did a band with the full horn section plus the DJ and live music during ceremony/cocktail hour and I thought it was a great package that included everything I wanted. David, the band manager, was also very flexible and captured every detail that I wanted down to the songs being played right before someone was walking up for a speech. I felt like I was in the best hands. The music itself during the wedding was outstanding, fun, upbeat, everyone was dancing the entire time. And ending with the DJ the last hour was the cherry on top. Don't hesitate to book them!

Hiring Jukebox was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. Months later, people still tell us all the time how amazing our wedding band was and that it was the best wedding they’ve been to. John, the band manager, was so easy to work with. Clear communication, kindness, flexibility, and tons of experience in the business. He offered us great advice and suggestions for timelines for the actual wedding day. On our wedding day, they were so professional- everything was done perfectly and on time. Not only that, but they are a very talented and lively band. They got everyone up and dancing and singing for the ENTIRE night. If you’re wondering if you should hire Jukebox, wonder no more. They are the perfect wedding band in every way.

Wow I cannot say enough positive things about Jukebox. Overall, they were one of the only vendors that I didn't have to stress about. Incredible quality, communication, professionalism and FUN. Below are some more highlights!
1. The band is incredible!!! They were super receptive to the kind of music we wanted for our reception and it was a PARTY. They were also able to play beautiful acoustic music for the ceremony which made my stone cold husband cry as I walked down the aisle!
2. During the planning process John was super communicative and helpful. During one discussion he just said "leave it to me" which is exactly what we needed to hear at that moment!
3. Jukebox has a package that includes ceremony, cocktail hour, reception AND after party that is super cost effective (both compared to other bands and for how stellar the quality of their work is!).

We can’t thank David, John, and the Jukebox San Diego team enough for making our wedding day spectacular! We found Jukebox through our wedding planner, and after our first meeting with John we were so excited to book them for our reception.
After booking, we spent a lot of time with David working on a playlist. We had an eclectic group of guests, and wanted a mix of Spanish and English music. David was able to get an amazing DJ in to help with that! We also had a great meeting right before to go over the logistics to make sure the band knew what songs we wanted when, etc. You could just tell that David really cared about making our wedding special.
On wedding day, we were blown away with the insanely amazing talent the Jukebox team had! David was a great MC, he kept us organized and had the band play all the songs we specifically asked for. They also took into consideration the crowd and made adjustments based on the vibe, which was great! The dance floor was full most of the night, and I spent almost the whole time dancing!!! Our guests were so impressed and could not stop telling us how awesome the band was.
We thank Jukebox San Diego and David so much for making our wedding day fun, engaging, and memorable!!! :) If you want a band who truly cares about making your wedding day special, we highly recommend you hire Jukebox San Diego.
Will add more pictures as they arrive!

Best wedding band in San Diego!! Our dance floor was filled the entire night and working with Jukebox was such an easy, seamless, and wonderful experience. David was always so responsive during the planning process and was willing to accommodate all of our requests. The band had the best energy and were incredible musicians and singers. I’m recommending them to all my friends who want to hire a band for their wedding!!

Wow. What an evening we had ourselves with Jukebox! First, they drove over 7 hours to get to our venue and stayed on site with us in primitive cabins in the woods. at a summer camp- talk about flexible and above and beyond! From our first meeting with them, we knew they had it together and were going to bring the party, they NAILED IT. We will cherish our wedding party for the rest of our lives and the energy that came out of it to launch us into a beautiful life together. All in all it was perfect, we wouldn’t change a thing with these guys, they really know their stuff and threw a heck of a party. Every member of the crew was fantastic and rolled with the fun, excited to be there and greeted my Bride and me with open arms every time we crossed paths. Highly organized, easy to communicate with a well. When they said it’d feel like a concert I thought internally, man I’d sure love that but probably hard to do with a wedding band… WAS I WRONG HOLY SMOKES!!! Trust me when I say the search for your wedding band ends here... you will not be disappointed!!!!

This was one of the best vendors we could have hired for our wedding. David and team are so nice, so detailed oriented, and they will have your guest on the dance floor ALL night. One of the biggest compliments we had from our wedding at the Palm Spring Air Museum was the energy and fun that David and the Jukebox team brought.
Would hire them again in a heartbeat!

There are not enough words to show how impactful Jukebox was for our wedding experience. From every step of the way, David and team were attentive, organized, and just a breath of fresh air when compared to other wedding vendors that we were working with. Not to mention the wedding itself! They made the wedding so so so fun and memorable for me and my wife, and I could not have imagined having any other band there - they absolutely crushed it!! Our friends and family continue to tell us about how it was one of their most fun weddings that they've been too, and that was due to Jukebox. Despite early rain before the wedding took place and some logistical challenges, Jukebox made everything feel normal and we were so thankful for that. We highly recommend them if you have the option!!

I love dancing and one of the key parts of our wedding that I dreamed of was having amazing music that would want to make my guests dancing all night long! This dream came true thanks to Jukebox!! By the end of the night, our guests were “complaining” that their foot hurt for dancing too much because every time they tried to take a break the next song would play and it was too good to pass! When we expressed that we would love for the band to play a K-pop song (as an homage to my Korean heritage), they learned and performed Butter by BTS which was so sweet! In addition to the fantastic performances, David did an amazing job MCing our reception, he kept our speech timeline organized (we had a lot of speeches!) and helped get the guests hyped up for our entry/various dances. Thank you to the entire Jukebox team for making our day so special!

The Jukebox team was absolutely INCREDIBLE.
The attention to detail throughout the preparation and entire event was unreal, and their experience and professionalism were a key factor in making our day so flawless. The talent and versatility of the team blew everyone away, as well as your ability to perfectly adjust each set to the mood of the moment. Some of my favorite lines were- “is this a recording or live” and “this is the best band- they should be on tour“. It did not feel like we had hired a wedding band- it felt as though the Jukebox team curated the mood and energy of our entire 10 hour wedding to perfectly suit us and our group.
I could not recommend Jukebox more highly to anyone hosting any event.

Absolutely Incredible! Jukebox was a game-changer. From the moment they started playing, they had everyone on their feet and filled the evening with an infectious energy that lasted from start to finish. Their interactive performance was a hit with our guests, and they sounded absolutely amazing. What's even more impressive was the seamless transition from live band to DJ, making the music experience flawless. David went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainment choice for our special day. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

Jukebox was absolutely incredible, we would choose them over and over again and definitely recommend to anyone looking for music for their wedding! They truly give you the best of both worlds with a full live band, but also a DJ. They kept the energy up and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Its absolutely incredible how diverse they are in terms of music they can sing, there were so many songs that we were shocked to see they were actually singing, because they were THAT good!! Truly a talented group! I cannot express how many of our guests were raving about how great the band was and how it was the best wedding band of any other wedding they had been too previously. John and David are SO great to work with, incredibly nice and they make it extremely easy -- if you want to be confident in all music and emcee work for your wedding day, hand it to these guys and you will not have to worry about a thing!

We had the 10 piece band at my daughter’s wedding last weekend in Palm Springs. They were top notch. They set up a jazz playlist for cocktail hour, emceed the introductions and speeches and then rocked the night away!! Their transition to DJ music during their breaks were seamless so the dance floor was packed all night! Great music. Perfect volume control. Great presentation - all the band members looked like they were having a blast too!

Having a live band for our wedding was by far the best decision we made! John and Dave from Jukebox not only were incredibly organized, worked with us through all the details, and never let us stress about anything for a second, they also gave our guests sore feet from all the dancing! Everything went so smoothly and we all had a blast. We HIGHLY recommend hiring them because everything else aside they were so talented and we were beyond impressed with the night. It felt like our own personal concert and it's all our guests can still talk about!

I had the opportunity to coordinate a wedding where the bride had hired jukebox production. First of all, they are so nice and easy to communicate with as well as beyond organized.
The band is absolutely AMAZING! I feel like that is not even a good enough word to describe them. Every time they played a song, they sounded like the original artist. It was better than a concert! And talk about how much the guests were involved and on the dance floor the entire time!
Jukebox Productions brought an element to the wedding that
made it memorable. You guys/girl are the best!!!

My Wife and I got married on 11/09/19. People still mention the band today when they talk about my wedding. Not only did they help my wedding stand out and they also are just like really, really good at performing. Not only that, but they are more than a band, John was frikking instrumental at helping us get everything organized properly and to go off without a hitch. We only had a day of coordinator and not an actual wedding planner but John gave us some great info which really helped us plan a perfect wedding.
If you are on the fence on whether to hire them or not, DO IT. A million times better than a DJ and people will be remembering your wedding because of them!

My wife and I got married Oct 2019 and we hired John and Jukebox Productions to be our band and MC for the night. They were nothing short of the greatest!! They went above and beyond in every capacity, from the initial phone call and checklist, to the communication with us and the planner, to the stage and set up and even catering to our quirky requests (one of us wanted to do a rap song). They are total pros! The look, sound, quality of service and quality of people cannot be beaten.
We were so lucky to find them. They were an absolute highlight of our wedding and I hope that we have a chance to do something else with them at some point.
Don't look anywhere else, hire them, you will be thrilled you did!

Booking Jukebox was the best choice my wife and I ever made for our wedding. From the planning process to the closing moments of our flawless wedding, Jukebox was a staple to our event. All of guests loved their live music and DJ. The band provided their own stage, sound engineer, lighting, and an unbelievable performance!
Before our wedding, John, the leader of Jukebox, setup multiple phone calls with us to discuss not only our song selection, but helped us to build a schedule for our entire wedding day. With the skillset of a wedding planner, John reached out to our coordinator and venue to assure that all of the scheduling and entertainment details were handled well in advanced so we wouldn't have to stress. John made sure we were informed and supported every step of the way.
In regards to the wedding, Jukebox provided live guitar while our guests arrived, their DJ, Wyatt, played our processional music and handled all of the microphones during our ceremony. Once the cocktail hour began, Wyatt continued to DJ the event with songs that we were able to select before the wedding.
For our grand entrance, Jukebox jumped into action and played all of our first dance songs live. From their, the band and the DJ played for the entire evening until the party was over. Between the bands 4 sets, whenever they took a break, the DJ immediately began to play. There was never any dead air. The party seamlessly kept on moving from the moment guests arrived, until the end of the night.
In addition, both singers (Dave and Tamara) MC'd the party and helped to organize dinner announcements, speeches, and agenda items that took place throughout the evening.
As a surprise for my wife, the band allowed myself and father-in-law to jump on stage to perform with the band. And for a cherry on top, the band invited my wife and I on stage for their final song of the evening. We felt like rockstars as all of our guests crowded the front of the stage and as we pretended to be rockstars on stage, singing "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.
Jukebox was a dream come true. All of our guests were blown away by their talent and great sound. Our venue was concerned with the local noise ordinance (outdoor venue in Palm Springs), but John connected with the property manager ahead of time and informed the venue that Jukebox is a fully digital band (even drums) and can control the volume with 1 master switch to abide by any noise restrictions.
If you're looking to be fully supported throughout the planning of your wedding, and if you want to wow your guests with non stop entertainment, then Jukebox is the right choice for you. John will ease any concerns you have and the band will provide non stop entertainment and fun from start to finish.
Our only regret is that our 8 hour wedding wasn't longer so we could hear and dance to more songs. We're now looking to book Jukebox for my wife's 30th Birthday party in October 2020.
Thanks Jukebox, we are forever appreciative of your talents and professionalism.

First, John with Jukebox was incredibly personable and instantly connected with my husband and I. He also went out of his way to learn our songs to play live, our first dance included. The attention to detail never once faltered in them learning our Greek dances live as well! Jukebox stayed late, played great, and really amped up our wedding in every way possible. We’ve received countless comments from our guests regarding how professional and great the band sounded and how our wedding was the best they had ever been too. We cannot thank John and Jukebox enough. Pick them!!! You will not be disappointed!

Also, John is very organized and constantly sending you updates and reminders. I never once had to chase him down for anything. He is top of it! He really took the stress away in that sense. Highly recommended!!! You won't regret it.

Hiring Jukebox Productions for our wedding last August at the Scripps Seaside Forum was the best wedding planning decision we made! So many of our friends and family members said it was the best wedding they had ever been to because of the amazing band. My husband and I love to dance and had the best time dancing to pretty much every song because each one was so good!
We were very lucky to hear Jukebox play at one of my high school friend's weddings and after having so much fun we knew we had to book them for our own wedding a year later. From classics to 90s boybands and current pop and rap songs, they perform every song on point! Their band members and singers are so talented, not to mention the high energy level and fun lighting adds for an incredible show.
If you are considering hiring a band 1) Book Jukebox ASAP while your date is still available 2) Spend the extra money over a DJ (cut your budget in other areas). I've been to a lot of weddings the past few years and having a band brings so much more energy and excitement for those that love to dance or just want to watch from his or her seat on the side.
Special thanks to John Pisano who went above and beyond working with us on our playlist requests and even had the band learn our our first dance song with a custom twist (which was executed perfectly!). He really cares about making your day go as smooth as possible and works out all the details with you months in advance. The whole band went above and beyond! Thanks Jukebox!

Jukebox was INCREDIBLE! We opted to have the ceremony music on guitar, then the Stacks duo performed for cocktail, and we had two vocalists as part of the 10 piece band.
I don't recall the music ever stopping and the dance floor was active all night. John is incredibly organized and made the planning simple and reliable. He provided an awesome list of songs his band could perform, but was willing to learn a few extras as well. Anything they can't perform can be played by the DJ which makes for an awesome blend of music without the band taking noticeable breaks. John helped me to plan the schedule of speeches throughout the reception, and if you're looking to keep the crowd dancing, he has great ideas for mixing music and dancing in right at the start of the reception, and can mix in and out of speeches as well. Overall we had an amazing night with JukeBox, and I would highly recommend them to any couple. So many of our guests complimented the band and raved about our wedding being a blast because of the non-stop music.

We had not played there before but the view of the valley and accommodations made it Magical! Thank you so much for having us at your wedding and allowing us to be part of your excellent adventure. :)

I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this band is. My fiancé was hesitant to book a live band, so went to see one of their shows at a nearby venue and let me just say we were sold after the first song. I also tracked them down and went to see them play at another venue because they were that fun and great... They are amazing at reading the crowd, picking a set list, and engaging with the crowd. Not only are they super talented musicians, but the band manager, John Pisano, is so easy to work with and So responsive. As the bride, I had a million questions and requests and all were handled with such ease and professionalism. They had every one of our 160 guests dancing throughout the night because they were so engaging and great singers. I 100% recommend this band and will be going to see them play again next time they come around. We love you guys and thank you so much for playing at our wedding!! -Scott & Paris

Paris and Scott,
This review is amazing! We are humbled and honored. And then add to th...
at the fact that your wedding was 2 days ago and you took the time to write this. Wow! I am so very glad that you were happy. Your plan provided us with a fun challenge and you allowed us the opportunity to do our thing while incorporating your thing... That made it OUR thing, together and that is always the best! When we bumped into you, prior to the wedding, we all felt like we had a special moment. That is because you are special and we love you too. Scott, you are a lucky guy!
Most Sincerely- Your band forever!

John and his band did such an excellent job at my wedding. They made every request happen! So many of the guests that attending my wedding raved about the band.
They are not a traditional production company that puts musicians together for the first time the day. You can tell they play together all the time and are extremely professional.
Vendor response 08/06/2019

your wedding was an elegant, classy affair that we were proud to be a part of. Your vendor team was awesome too. They transformed that room into a wonderland!

Jukebox Productions was amazing to work with and made our wedding unforgettable. Since our wedding we have had multiple family and friends tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and how Jukebox Productions such a fun atmosphere. John Pisano made the whole process very easy and ensured our wedding was a night no one would forget.

If I could give this band more stars I would! They are absolutely fantastic!! We wanted a band that could bring energy and get everyone up on their feet and not want to stop dancing. They delivered this better than we could've imagined. All our guests raved about them. They were spectacular!! John was wonderful to work with. I found it stressful communicating with some of our vendors but John went above and beyond for us, every step of the way. The band was such an important part of our wedding to have John be so professional and positive and wonderful meant a lot! We feel very lucky that we found Jukebox and now have to find an excuse to have a party so we can have them play for us again. Thank you so much Jukebox!!

Absolutely a terrific experience from beginning to end! John was responsive, attentive, and informative from the get-go, meeting with the bride and groom as well as the moms! The production and performance by everyone involved in this band was phenomenal - we just can't say enough about the great memories we have from our experience this past weekend! Thank you, John and the Jukebox crew -- you blew our party away!!!!!!!!!
Vendor response 02/21/2019
First of all, Thank YOU for such an awesome review. You were an absolute pleasure to work...
with. And speaking of being blown away, the attendees were off the charts! I am always grateful to be a part of a military wedding and this one was so special. I think half of the Annapolis graduating class were there! There was no warm up... Zero to Party from the first song to the last. And everything you planned went off perfectly! The staff at the Westin was so complimentary with respect to you and your guest. Thanks again for including us in your wedding day plans and for the warm response of your friends and family. Can't wait to see the pictures. Especially the pics from when we played Pony!

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!one of the things my husband and I have said over and over about our wedding day was how unbelievably happy we are that we hired Jukebox and that it was the best decision we made for our wedding! We are still getting compliments on "that awesome band! " As a band they look stunning and they sound even better. Totally fun , great repertoire, awesome voices, I could go on and on. They were all great and easy to work with before the wedding which was important for our destination wedding. HIRE THIS BAND. They will make your wedding look and sound like a wedding from a movie.

When it came to picking our wedding music, my husband and I had a specific vision: a band that also had a DJ, a guitarist for the ceremony, and live music during cocktail hour. Jukebox was recommended to us by our wedding planner and they were hands down the best band we could have asked for. We loved everything about working with Jukebox, from coordinating with John during the planning stage to the incredible music throughout the night. In particular, the acoustic guitarist who played our ceremony (including two songs he learned just for us!) did an absolutely amazing job. The reception was everyone’s favorite part of the night and we were amazed that so many of our guests were out on the dance floor for so long. The live band was phenomenal and they seamlessly wove in some of our more obscure requests during the DJ sets. Many of our guests commented on how much they loved the band and how fun the night was because Jukebox did such a great job. We highly recommend Jukebox and, if we had to do it over, would book them again in a heartbeat!

Jukebox Productions is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about them, but I'll do my best to sum it up into this "short" review:) My husband and I decided having a band was our one splurge. We felt like every DJ we looked at was your typical cheesy wedding MC/DJ, exactly what we DID NOT want. We wanted a good party & good music! Jukebox delivered exactly that and MORE!
John is very professional, easy to work with, and overall, just an AWESOME GUY. Our venue was not going to allow bands anymore due to noise, but the venue manager was willing to meet with John because of the uniqueness of their equipment. Since we had our heart set on Jukebox, John went above and beyond to meet with the venue manager and make sure it could happen! I felt like John was with me every step of the way. He responds promptly via text or email, no matter the question, comment, or concern. He reached out multiple times & always had words of encouragement! I especially loved their willingness to work with us on what we wanted. No matter the request, they made it happen!
We LOVED the band/DJ combination and so did our guests! The transitions were smooth and DJ Kenny did just the right amount of MC. Jukebox is all about the music! We also hired Jukebox for our ceremony and I am SO GLAD we did! We had ZERO microphone/speaker/tech issues and our guests could clearly hear our officiant & us during vows. This was huge considering we were by the bay and it was windy.
I should also mention Jukebox is an INCREDIBLE group of musicians! They sound terrific and they read the crowd. Not only do they have a large selection of songs, but they are up to date with new music! They definitely brought the party we wanted!
THANK YOU JUKEBOX PRODUCTIONS!:) You exceeded our expectations and we love you!
Vendor response 09/29/2018
Sarah, Thank you for such an amazing review! And thank you for allowing us to be part of ...
your wedding. It was so fun working with you and putting together all of the elements we were able to enjoy together. I have to say that your wedding coordinator Robyn should get a lot of credit for giving us the opportunity to show our stuff! but you and Barrett were an amazing asset to our overall success. You danced your hearts out from start to finish and set the example for the rest of the party! I am humbled and grateful for the nice things you said. It's people like you that make our job so fulfilling. Thanks again!

Jukebox brings the party! I've never experienced a more fun, accommodating, entertaining, and exhilarating band at a wedding. John and the entire team were a pleasure to work with on day 1. We knew there was something special from day 1 but Jukebox surpassed all our expectations on the big day. The entire wedding was on the dance floor for hours. We've heard from our friends on numerous occasions it was the best wedding they've ever attended, and we have to give a huge credit to Jukebox for that compliment. I, the groom, lover of music and all partying, can't say enough positive things about these guys & girls. To paint the picture, I was on stage with my wife, shirt off, singing Karoke, attempting to crowd surf, and Jukebox was loving every second of it. Most bands would have kicked me off the stage! They weren't just a band, or a vendor, they were guests, and we love them. You will too.

Andrew and Ali, We have played 100's of weddings and I can tell you this- few have equale...

In fact, I cannot wait to see the pictures from your wedding. Our Instagram post from that night was a record breaker!
But the main thing I want to say is THANK YOU for your very kind review. You can rock it on stage with us any time and in fact, would be a welcome addition to any event we play! You and your beautiful wife will be in our memories forever and your reception will live on in the annals of Jukebox history. Rock on, Sir!

We got married in May at South Coast and Jukebox was AMAZING. We've been told numerous times since our wedding that we had the best band, they could sing everything and the band was so fun. John the owner went above and beyond working with us. He had great advise and you could tell he really cared. I cannot say enough good things about Jukebox.

The best band! For starters, John and Tamara were an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I were planning the wedding from London and they were so accommodating. Our guests were very impressed with how professional the band was and at least 10 people commented on how great they thought they sounded. The band/DJ combo is also genius! It was so fun having the great energy from the band and also a DJ for some hip-hop or super new stuff. I would highly recommend these guys!

Thank you again for being so sweet and such a great couple to work with. :)

John and his band Jukebox Production were awesome! They played for 2+hrs at our wedding and the music was non-stop. I received many comments from guests about the band complimenting their performance, music selection and showmanship. John was professional and a great communicator during the entire process. They handled everything sound/audio related throughout the day including ceremony music, PA, cocktail hour music, first dances, and of course party time. Having a one-stop-shop for all of that and knowing it would be handled professionally was a huge help and one less thing for us to worry about. I would definitely use Jukebox Productions again and recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event!

With people like you at the helm, I feel really good about our nations future.

Jukebox was perfect for what we wanted at our event and we were told by many guests that they made the night.

Seriously, best live wedding band ever. We could not be more pleased with everything Jukebox did to make our wedding day an absolute blast. Coordinating with John is easy and the musicians of the band are top notch. Their playlist and vocals were incredible and so many of our guests gave rave reviews about the night's performance.
Jukebox does such an amazing job of seamlessly transitioning from live band to DJ; several times I thought the band was playing live and it was studio music blasting from the DJ. They also did a special send off with my wife and I on stage singing out Journey "Don't Stop Believing"--a super fun final touch to our wedding reception.
The price was more than reasonable compared to other offerings and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. Do not hesitate to hire Jukebox for your wedding, they will definitely be one of your day's highlights and one of the easiest vendors to work with. Thanks again Jukebox for giving an amazing performance at our wedding!

I'm so glad that you guys had such a great honeymoon. We followed you on instagram and got to see a lot of your trip. Trip of a lifetime!
Regarding the entrance, etc. It was a GREAT idea and we are now adding that to our suggested format. So, yes, you were right and are now the honorary production coordinator for our pre-grand entrance production!
Give Bizzy a great big hug from the band and PLEASE, come see us again.
P.S. I'm attaching a little iphone video that Tamara took just for fun. :)

Jukebox is the life of the party. We could not have asked for a better band and dj to make our wedding celebration so special.

I put my faith in online reviews when I hired Jukebox. I never saw them play before my wedding. I saw review after review stating that they were the best choice that anyone had made for their wedding. They did not dissapoint...they absolutely rocked it. Everyone at my wedding was on the dancefloor and stayed there after dinner. John goes above and beyond all along the planning journey and keeps things rolling like they should on the day of. I can't say enough good things about them I just wish I had more parties to book them for :)

Jukebox was the best decision I made for our wedding! We were on the dance floor all night and had so much fun. John was really great with communication and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. The bands performance was impeccable, high energy and classy. The DJ/band combo made things really easy for us. People kept asking "where did you find these guys?!". 10/10 would choose Jukebox again!

BEST WEDDING EVER!!!! Thanks to Jukebox Productions-- these are the exact words we heard over and over after our wedding a few weeks ago (at Humphrey's, on the Concert Lawn). From the moment I sent an inquiry, John was responsive, informative, and just amazing overall. Booking and planning was easy, stress free, and I can't tell you how HIGHLY I RECOMMEND this band! They had our guests on the dancefloor all night long-- even those who usually refuse to shine up their dancing shoes (this was sooo impressive)! Last but very not least, at the end of the night the band invited us up on stage to sing "Don't Stop Believing" with them and I can say that was one of the most fabulous moments of my entire life!!! Looking out at everyone we loved, having the time of their lives-- we felt like absolute ROCKSTARS the whole night. JUKEBOX ROX!! (Chant it with me people). Hire these guys, get your guests on the dancefloor, and enjoy every moment of your special day, you won't regret it :)
Vendor response 10/13/2017
So, it's not everyday that we are hired by a couple to perform at a wedding disguised as a...
concert. But that's what this was. And yes, you were/are a Rock Star! I knew that you were going to be a blast from all of our conversations but when I saw you dance down the isle to Mary You and take a shot on the way to the alter, I knew it was on! Who does that? You do! And Humphries was the best possible choice for you guys, considering this was a concert/wedding. It's easy to look like rock stars on a stage like that but it takes energy and enthusiasm from the guests to make it a concert. So, the credit goes to you and your guests for this one! Thank you for the fabulous review. I would like to hire you now to do our marketing!

They all around were good - messed up at the ceremony but that's fine. The band and lights were awesome. The girls can sing- we received a ton of compliments on them. The only thing I would recommend is to make sure to list the music you want the DJ to play while band is on break. They did not bring a DJ for our wedding and they had an auto player that was playing house music which we were not fans of. We know that now however they were an awesome band - your guests will love them!
Vendor response 10/13/2017
Thank you for the great review of the band. I so much wish you would have had the budget ...
for our DJ. Having a live DJ is what makes us different and this is proof that it works! Without a DJ, a break is a playlist on a laptop. With a DJ there are no breaks. It is one constant party! Thanks again!

My husband and I loved Jukebox! For our wedding, we envisioned a high-energy reception and Jukebox did not disappoint! From our first meeting we really enjoyed working with John Pisano. He was friendly, professional, communicated well, listened to our requests, and is simply a really nice guy :)
What I really enjoyed about the band is their ability to read the crowd. They had everyone on their feet dancing from our 4 year old nieces to my 91-year old grandma! At the end of the night they even pulled my husband and I up on stage to sing Journey's Don't Stop Believin with them! It was so much fun! The vocalists had such amazing voices, and I loved the smooth transitions between live music and DJ. Great vibes, great energy! I can't thank Jukebox enough for such an amazing night :)
Vendor response 10/13/2017
I don't always show my wife our reviews. But this time I did. She told me that if I did ...

In the second paragraph, you managed to sum up what we work for at every event we do. Hitting the mark for you is as sweet as it gets. It's why we do what we do and also why we've transitioned from "just a band" to a band/DJ concept. When done right, it's literally unstoppable! Speaking of unstoppable, you guys were leading the party from start to finish and that is what made your wedding so great! Thank you for the kind review. We are grateful and honored to have been a part. :)

This band/DJ combo was the way to go. Jukebox rocked my wedding! The dance floor was packed. I cannot tell you how many people said "where'd you find this band?!" Or my favorite "Best Wedding EVER!" We all had so much fun! The lead singers really were all in. The musicians were excellent. Their set list is really current with some great songs from Brown Eyed Girl to Let's Go Crazy mixed in. They made my wedding.
