Do yourself a favor and book Live Wire Entertainment!! They were incredible to work with and brought the fun and energy to our wedding day. We wanted the night to be party and Live Wire delivered! Our guests would not leave the dance floor! We received MANY compliments about them. They were professional, kind, organized, and talented! Highly recommend booking Live Wire for your band needs.
We were blown away by Live Wire at our wedding! They had all of our guests out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our guests could not stop raving about the band and we couldn't agree more. Live Wire performed at my brother's wedding ten years ago and they haven't missed a beat. Anthony was a pleasure to work with, the band learned (SO MANY) new songs for us, and followed our requests exactly. We have lasting memories of entering into the reception with all of our guests standing and waiting to greet us with the perfect music to accompany the occasion! We wholeheartedly recommend Live Wire!
We cannot recommend Live Wire enough! Every single one of my guests made it a point to tell me how amazing our band was – they truly kept the party going all night. I’ve known a few friends/family who have also used Live Wire and I remember attending their weddings thinking how fun the band was. They are incredibly talented and learned a couple songs for us (including our first dance) and nailed it spot on. They’re very organized and made it a point to run everything by me to triple check it all looked correct. Live Wire was the highlight of our wedding party and we can’t thank them enough!
Livewire legitimately rocked my wedding. My brother and his fiance used them for their wedding 4 years ago and everyone including myself was blown away by how amazing they were. Anthony and the band blew the show out of the park. I had so many guests come up to me telling me that the vocalists voices were amazing and that this was one of the best wedding musicians they have ever had. I knew I had booked an amazing band from experience but even still, they amazed me the entire night. The dance floor was never empty and the variety of music they knew and played kept every person in the place happy and dancing. I would use them time and again if I needed them and would tell any bride looking for a band to use them. I am just truly beyond words for how grateful and pleased with this band..... you are AWESOME!
Live Wire Entertainment made the night!! Everyone was completely blown away by the band. Guests said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard. Chantelle was incredible and can SING! Gottfried also was so amazing on the sax. These musicians are no joke and can play any genre seamlessly. We had a perfect blend of genres for the older and younger folks and I couldn’t believe how many people were constantly dancing on the dance floor. The night wouldn’t have been complete without Live Wire!
LiveWire was amazing! Anthony was fantastic to work with leading up to our event, always responded to our questions and was very attentive. The band learned our first dance song and even shortened it for the choreographed dance we had learned. Chantele is an incredibly talented singer and she was amazing. All our guests loved the music and had the entire dance floor dancing and enjoying the night. They also have the option to do your ceremony music as well as cocktail hour. Choose from a 7 piece all the way up to 11 piece. You won't be disappointed :)
This is hands down the best wedding band that I have ever heard (and many of our guests agreed)! We cannot thank Live Wire (Anthony & his team) enough for an incredible night! The band and DJ were absolutely amazing and we loved everything. We had so many people ask for the band name and I wouldn't be surprised if some of our friends (and friends of friends) have Live Wire for their band for their upcoming weddings in 2019/2020. Thanks for keeping everyone dancing the ENTIRE night (both of my brothers didn't eat dinner because they never left the dance floor) and making our party so unforgettable. They are so easy to work with and will respond to questions and requests immediately. Highly recommend!
Ridiculously spectacular band- multiple guests came up to us after the reception and told us this was the best band they have ever heard. Working with them was so easy- responsive, great suggestions, and flexible. They sounded amazing and had such a great feel for the energy of the crowd. Absolutely fantastic, we would have no reservations using them again.
Livewire rocked our wedding! I had seen them before at my brother's wedding several years ago, and they were awesome then. However, I feel like they were even better at my wedding in October 2017. At least 15 people came up to me asking for their information because they wanted them at their own weddings, or their children's weddings! They crushed the parent dances (I danced with my dad to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac and they did an amazing job). Livewire played the perfect combination of classics (Bruce Springsteen, Don Mclean, Rod Stewart, etc.) and todays hits (Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, etc.). Everyone from Grandparents to my 17 year old cousins loved them. Thank you Livewire!
This band made our wedding! The dance floor was full the entire night with all of our guests- old and young. All we wanted for our wedding was for our guests to dance with us all night long and that was exactly what we got. Anthony and the band were so easy to work with. They accommodated any request we had- learned new songs for us and revised their set lists to include only the songs we wanted. Mulitple guests had reached out to us after our wedding and said this was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. The talent is truly top notch and we are SO happy that they were part of our big day. We’ll definitely be looking out for shows to go and see this band perform as much as possible!
This band literally made the party for our wedding this past June. Attendees who usually don't even dance were up the whole night. And the music made it to that my husband and I stuck to our promise to enjoy ourselves and dance the whole night. The range of types of music that the band covers and the amazing energy they bring was phenomenal. The next day -- and for days after-- we heard "your band was incredible" from all of the guests, young and old. And the folks from the venue at the brunch the next day told us, we've never had such good music here. The band definitely made the party unforgettable.
WOW! I cannot thank Live Wire enough for literally bringing the party with them. I could not have asked for a more dedicated and energetic group of people to sing and dance the night away with. Live Wire is so professional and they have complete control of the crowd and will make the reception flow in the exact way that you want it to. Every transition (speeches, to father daughter dance, to main course, and so on) was done so beautifully and seamlessly. From the first dance to the very last dance of the night, they did not stop or let up. We wanted a party and we got a party thanks to them. Live Wire, thank you again for joining us on 9/15/17. Doug and I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding the best day of our lives!
INCREDIBLE!!!! LiveWire completely exceeded my expectations. All 125 of our guests barely sat down the entire time, as LiveWire kept the energy high and the beats coming! I come from a huge dancing family, so the band's role was extra important in the planning process. LiveWire - thank you for making my wedding reception an epic dance party! Oh, and watch out for the saxophonist. He'll get you up and dancing. Thank you again!!
Live wire is absolutely incredible!! They played at my wedding, and not only my guests, but the venue staff and my other vendors would not stop raving about them. They set the perfect tone for the night, got all ages out on the dance floor, and helped to make my wedding unforgettable. Leading up to my wedding day, they were extremely flexible and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great time with great music at their wedding!
Live Wire Entertainment is fabulous! I danced to every song they played and enjoyed myself to the fullest at my daughter's wedding. They are amazing! The songs they played had everyone on their feet. They are extremely professional, a pleasure to work with and very talented. I highly recommend them!!
I cannot count the number compliments I've received about this band. They were a highlight of our reception. Totally pros, can play anything from 1950s to present and anything in between. I would highly recommend to anyone!
I could not be any happier with how Live Wire Entertainment performed at my wedding. It was an absolutely amazing night specifically thanks to them. We asked them to learn three very different, new songs for our wedding and they played them all perfectly. Literally all of my guests (from ages 9-89) had positive things to say about the band. Almost everyone was out on the dance floor, which was exactly what I wanted for my wedding, and even those who may not have been on the dance floor were still sitting and enjoying the music. The singers were all phenomenal. Chantele was the one I specifically spoke with before the reception and she was extremely kind to me and made me feel beautiful. So not only were they amazing singers that my guests loved, but they were also amazing people in general. I would definitely recommend this band to you and so would all of my guests!!!
Live Wire (including Anthony) were WONDERFUL! The band and singers were AMAZING! They accommodated all of our song choices and preferences plus helped the whole wedding to flow smoothly throughout. They provided music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. After the wedding, almost every guest either complimented us on the band or asked for their contact information. They had the party going all night long and their versatility of song styles engaged all of our family and friends. Every person was on the dance floor at many points during the night. This was the best recommendation we received and would strongly recommend them to anyone!
Live Wire preformed at our company Holiday Party at Oheka Castle and they were beyond amazing!! Harry, Anthony and the team were so accommodating. The band played for 4 hours straight and at one point they sounded exactly like the actual singers!! They had everyone dancing all night long and really engaged the audience. Everyone had a great time because of Live Wire. We will definitely recommended them to everyone we know!
Live Wire was absolutely amazing! They were the only band we looked at because as soon as we heard them we knew we needed to have them at our wedding. Throughout the planning process Anthony was always very helpful and quick to respond to any and all questions. They learned three great songs for us (one of them a reggae song). Every song they performed at the wedding was perfect! They kept guests dancing all night. Out of all the decisions we made for the wedding, they were by far the best one. I can't thank you guys enough for making our wedding so memorable! Guests have been talking about Live Wire non stop and I am sure we will continue to hear compliments about the band for years to come. Some people have even asked if they can go to their showcases even though they aren't planning a wedding or event. If you are considering Live Wire don't think twice! It is definitely the right decision and you won't regret it!
Live Wire was simply fantastic. The song selection was great and really fit our crowd. During the reception, our guests kept telling us how amazing the band was and they continue to tell us each time they see us a month later. Live Wire was easy to work with - they learned two numbers for us (one of which we performed with them upon being introduced into the reception and the other was our first dance) - both sounded great. They really worked with us and the venue to make our reception run seamlessly. I was so impressed with the coordination of the band with the venue personnel with respect to when we wanted the band to pause for a toast, food being available or the cake-cutting - and, most importantly, with their ability to get everyone dancing again after each break. If the band was playing, people were dancing (and having a great time). I'm sure our guests would've been happy to keep the party going another hour or two if the band was still playing. I can't recommend them highly enough.
BEST, BEST, BEST! I knew this band was special when my husband insisted upon attending the Live Wire showcase months ago! Not one for many strong opinions in regard to the wedding, my easy-going groom was adamant that they were awesome - he had seen them at his cousin's wedding seven years prior! We had just begun our search when we attended the showcase. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY - we were dancing in the studio and did not want the night to end! We immediately cancelled all other band appointments and booked the next morning!
Anthony and the Live Wire musicians are not only exceptionally talented, they are also a pleasure to work with. They made the preparation process SO SIMPLE for this very particular bride. Guests of the wedding are still commenting on Live Wire. "I felt like I was at a Broadway caliber production. I found myself stopping eating to listen during dinner - who listens to wedding music during dinner?!?!" The dance hits were also fantastic and they paced the entire event beautifully! We cannot thank Live Wire enough and hope to attend a wedding with them again soon! :)
Anthony was great to work with and was accepting of what me and my husband wanted! Livewire entertainment played and sang great music and had everyone dancing all night long!
If you are thinking of a band this is the only way to go. We hired Live Wire after hearing them at another wedding and it was the best decision ever!!! Anthony and his crew were so easy to work with. The vocals on their lead female are insane!!!! They got people dancing from the moment we walked in. They listened to our choices and even went out of their way to learn our first dance song. There wasn't a second where the dance floor was not packed. Even now a month after the wedding the only thing being talked about is "the band" and "how awesome" they were. Thank you Live Wire for making my wedding so memorable!!!!! It justt made our whole night!
Live Wire played at our wedding at the Branford House on October 1, 2016. We hired them after hearing them at a wedding showcase in New York City, and could not have been happier. Anthony was a pleasure to work with, and was always responsive and accommodating. The entire band is phenomenal, and every single one of our guests complimented us repeatedly on their performance. A few were even convinced they had to be lip synching because they sounded so good (they weren't)! The vocalists mixed with the crowd and kept everyone going all night long - no breaks at all and everyone (even relatives we never see on the dance floor at weddings) were dancing all night long! Live Wire made our wedding - thank you so so so so much!!
My husband and I found Live Wire Entertainment by doing research online. We were hesitant to book a band that we found online but we are SO happy we did! Live Wire did an amazing job performing at our Oheka Castle wedding. They are by far, the most talented band we've ever heard! They were willing to learn some songs for us and did an amazing job with them. Everyone was on the dance floor all night and couldn't stop raving about them. We can't thank you enough for doing such a fantastic job... it truly made the night!
Where to start?? UNREAL, AMAZING, FLAWLESS, INCREDIBLE, UNBELIEVABLY FUN, BEST BAND I HAVE EVER HEARD. Anthony and his band are just amazing. Each and every member of the band is flawless. When my husband and I planned the wedding, everyone kept asking what was most important to us, and the answer was always, "The Band." We listened to SO many bands and there was the clear winner, which is why we chose Live Wire. I wanted everyone to leave the wedding saying how amazing the band was, and that is exactly what happened. They had a 200+ person wedding on their feet the entire night. I have never seen a room erupt the way ours did when they went into the first dance set following our first dance as husband and wife. They are also true professionals. For one of the songs, there was a glitch with the venue sound system where their mics went out. NO ONE even noticed because live wire got on the dance floor with us, we all belted the words to the Whitney Houston song playing, and the drums played their heart out. Where most bands might have froze, they excelled and made it one of the best songs of the night! Anthony was a pleasure to work with. He was collaborative and helpful with song choices and even learned a few special requests we had that were important to us and made our evening so special. I cannot end this without mentioning Chantelle and her incredible rendition of Time to Say Goodbye. CHILLS. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. They truly are the best of the best.
Choosing Live Wire as the band for our wedding, was one of the best decisions we made! Anthony was wonderful to work with from the beginning, answering all of our questions and addressing all the concerns we had (rain plan, microphones, etc). They are an amazing & talented group!!
Live Wire was the only band we ever considered for our wedding, they played my brothers wedding two years prior and I knew I had to have them at my own! Their talent and professionalism is amazing, all night all we kept hearing was how awesome the band was! Everyone danced all night, thank you so much for the amazing performance at our wedding. I would recommend them to any and every couple!
The best decision we made was hiring Live Wire as the band for our wedding. My husband and I went to several showcases in NYC. When we saw Live Wire, we were blown away, and every other couple there was as well. We hired Live Wire a full year before our wedding. Anthony was a joy to work with, answered every question quickly, worked well with our wedding planner and kept us feeling super confident and excited about our big day. We had an 8 piece band the day of our wedding. We had Live Wire play jazz music during our cocktail hour which was a perfect way to set the tone for the evening. Live Wire even learned to play our first dance song, which turned out beautifully.
The dance floor was packed the entire night, people were dancing even before dinner started. We had family members, who never dance, on the dance floor the entire night, and the next morning, telling us it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding. We had older grandparents who stayed until the last song, because the band was that good.
The crowd screamed for one more song at the end of the night, and we got it, along with the lead singers coming out onto the dance floor to make the night even more memorable.
I wish they could have played for 5 more hours - Live Wire was amazing and made our wedding the best day ever.
Live Wire was an incredible band to work with for our wedding and we highly recommend them to anyone in need of a band. About a year prior to our wedding, I received a personal recommendation about Live Wire. A friend of mine was to be married and he was using them. We immediately started to do some research on them and spoke with Anthony. From the minute we spoke with him, we knew they would be a good choice. He was very prompt, organized, helpful, and always willing to speak with us. This was very important to us since we were never actually going to have the opportunity to meet or hear the band prior to our event. Over the next couple of weeks, we heard clips of their songs from their website and heard back from my friend after his wedding. He loved the band and was happy to hear we were thinking about using Live Wire. Shortly after, we booked with Anthony.
Over the next year, I would listen to clips of them on Facebook and each video got me more and more excited for the wedding. As we got closer to the wedding, the band provided us with a song list and allowed us to be VERY detailed with exactly what we were looking for. At times, I was scared I was asking for too much or had too many requests. With Anthony and Live Wire, no task was too hard. They were able to accommodate us in every way and helped make our reception amazing. There was a party atmosphere from the start of the night. The music was fantastic, they interacted with the audience (even sang with everyone at times), and worked with us and our families on a couple specials surprises various people had planned throughout the night. On top of all the fantastic music, the group was as nice as could be and they helped make our wedding more than memorable. I forgot to mention they traveled all the way to Harrisburg, PA from New York City. I recommend Live Wire for your wedding!
The second we heard this band at their studio session, we knew they were IT! We heard a few bands before Live Wire, but they didn't sound great and could not compare. The amount of compliments we received about the band was incredible! We still get phone calls about how great they were,and its been over a month since our wedding. Our sings were so amazing and talented, and so was the band! Everyone was their feet the entire night! They had a great song selection, and even played current songs, and learned other songs for us. It made our day so special. They are worth every penny!!
If you're struggling between hiring a DJ or band for your wedding or any event for that matter, Live Wire Entertainment is the answer. This was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We attended one of their showcases and from the first note played, the first word sung we knew that they would be our band. They are all a pleasure to work with and their talent is limitless. They nailed special requested songs, making for some pretty amazing highlights. They were so interactive and got our friends involved in the set. Do yourself a favor and hire this band. You won't regret it.
Live Wire played our June 18th, 2o16 wedding and was absolutely fantastic. My parents, who were upset that they weren't involved in this decision of wedding planning, could not say enough great things about them. "Lights out performance" is what my dad said actually. The dance floor was packed the entire time, even before dinner started. My grandpa who has been ill and in a wheelchair even got out to dance. Every genre and every song was covered to perfection. They NAILED our wedding song and a couple of other specific requests we gave them! They have such a great energy and even come out onto the floor to dance with the guests and pass the mic around. This was absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. You CANNOT go wrong with LiveWire. Book early though! We booked in July 2015 for our June 2016 wedding. I will recommend them to anyone planning any event with live music- they made me wish I could be a guest at my own wedding!
BEST BAND EVER! We hired Live Wire to do our wedding after receiving recommendations and attending one of their showcases. They are absolutely incredible! Our guests are still raving about how amazing they were. Every song they played was perfect, they engaged with the crowd, and kept everyone up and dancing the whole reception! Anthony was a pleasure to work with throughout the process, and also helped coordinate amazing lighting for our reception. We could not have been happier with our choice, thank you Live Wire!
We and our wedding guests were in love with Live Wire! Anthony is an amazing band leader and is so easy to work with. The planning process was so effortless. We had 3 singers and 5 musicians. They rocked the house. Everyone thought it was Adele singing when Badia slayed our first dance "make you feel my love". Clurel was like MJ reincarnated and Michael did a great Billy Joel. They memorized new songs and killed Everlong. They sung a wide variety of songs and had such great energy. They didn't blast out your ear drums either. They genuinely were happy for my new husband and I. What an amazing night thanks to them. I would recommend them to anyone in the tro-state area and beyond. A great price for such quality value.
Choosing Live Wire was the best decision we made about our reception! To say they were fantastic is an understatement. They learned our first dance song and sang it better than the original. Guests of all ages were dancing all night and we are still receiving compliments now about how great the band was. We are hoping someone we know gets married soon so that we can convince them to use Live Wire too! We would recommend them again and again!
A few minutes into Live Wire's demo set we knew they were the band for us. They could perform a variety of music from classic to pop, easily pleasing all guests. They were very easy to work with and learned our first dance song as well as two additional favorite songs. They were such a huge hit that we had 3 guests book them for their weddings, that should say enough! Very reasonably priced compared to other groups this size.
Live Wire Entertainment is by far the most amazing band we have ever seen perform at a wedding. Our wedding consisted of well over 200 guests and Live Wire Entertainment single handedly had everyone on the dance floor (a very rare site to see at weddings). The band members are so talented and were able to play so many different songs of different genres. The band is also extremely interactive and really works the crowd well. They also play music that people want to hear and they never create a lull in the dancing. The band even learned new songs for our wedding and delivered live versions of the first dance, bride and father dance, and groom and mother dance that sounded exactly like the original versions. We can't say enough about Live Wire Entertainment, and neither can our guests who described our wedding as the most fun they have ever had. Live Wire Entertainment helped make our wedding so special and perfect and helped bring non-dancers on to the dance floor the whole night. We loved working with them and are so glad they performed at our wedding!

Our wedding day was absolutely amazing! Livewire did such an amazing job at our wedding reception. From the moment we fell in love with them at the showcase to the very last song they played at our wedding, Livewire was such a pleasure to work with. Anthony made the whole process so easy and very comfortable. He worked with us and kept constant communication to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it. On the day of the wedding, the band showed up very early to setup and practice and we're ready to rock by the time the reception started. Chantel first greeted us to go over everyone's names and give instructions. She was really nice and seemed genuinely excited about the wedding. Her voice and performances were so incredible. Our guests are still talking about her ability to sing and entertain. She also honored one of our requests during the wedding to sing a specific song and it was beautiful. Jimmy sang our wedding song and nailed it. It was a song that was not on their playlist, but he definitely took the time to practice and it sounded exactly the way we wanted to hear it. Clurel started off the night with a great dance song and really got all of the energy up. Finally, a big shout out to Ashanti who really surprised us with her performances. She came out into the crowd on many occasions to get all of the guests involved in the song. She even made it a point to come up to me and my beautiful bride on multiple occasions to see how we were doing and talk with us. Ashanti was definitely a big hit with our guests. Overall, I highly recommend Livewire for your wedding reception. You will not be disappointed!!!

They are super talented and we got nothing but great feedback from our guests!!! I think I may have said not to play a song that they played but in the grand scheme of things I'm sure no one noticed but me! They let my husband and his friends sing a song they loved, which everyone thought was the coolest thing ever, and they interacted with everyone and our guests really liked that. Definitely worth the money!
Live Wire performed at my son's and daughter in law's wedding on July 4,2015 at the Fountainhead in New Rochelle, NY. From their first song to their last, they had all the guests on the dance floor the entire night. They learned four special songs for the couple . Friends and family are still talking about how wonderful Live Wire was a month later!! I would highly recommend them for your wedding reception. You will not be disappointed. Anthony and the entire band are wonderful to work with.
Livewire was amazing at my wedding!! Ours guests were blown away by their performance! Highly recommended!! They are easy to work with and extremely accommodating!! They play the best Hora I have ever heard! We are so grateful and happy we were able to have them as our band for our big day!
Livewire Entertainment played at our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. They can play anything with perfection; from my first dance Michael Franti's, Life is better with you, to a Phantom of the Opera tune for my dance with my Father. Everyone was on the dance floor after our first dance and the dance floor was full the entire night. They read the crowd and performed an ideal mixture to please everyone from Frank Sinatra during dinner into crowd pleasing dance songs as the night grew to a close. Every guest at our wedding commented on how fantastic the band was and their incredible versatility.
I really couldn't have dreamed it to be any better. They really made our day special. Call them today if you are looking for a band.
Last month, my husband and I had the wedding of our dreams and a HUGE part of that can be attributed to the AMAZING talent of Anthony and the Live Wire band. They were the first vendor we booked- all we had to do was listen to a few of their demo songs online and knew they were the right pick for us and we selected the 8 piece band. I know for some, there is a hesitancy to book a band as opposed to a DJ due to the variety of songs that you want featured at your wedding. To say that Live Wire is a diverse band is an understatement- they completely blew me away with their range. Our first dance was to a Foo Fighters song (acoustic then full instrumental- PERFECTION), I danced with my Dad to a song from the Dropkick Murphys (in which a band member whipped out a freaking PICCOLO for... unbelievable!!), and we were dancing all night from everything to Rihanna to Lady Gaga to Rolling Stones to B52s to Michael Jackson and everything in between. They exceeded my expectations on so many different levels; my friends and family cannot stop talking about how amazing the music was. Nothing beats the energy of a live band at a wedding and I would recommend Live Wire again and again and again.
Having Live Wire as our band was the best decision we made for our wedding. They were recommended by our sales coordinator at our venue who had heard them play at many weddings.
We went to see them at a showcase and booked them right after. They are extremely reasonable in price, easy to work, and even learned extra songs for us.
Their singers are amazing! We had guests recording them because they couldn't believe that it was not actually Billy Joel singing.
Our dance floor was packed the entire night. We had guests dancing at their tables and outside on the terrace. The compliments continue to come in about how great our band was and how much fun our guests had!
Live wire was fantastic. I found them on the knot and went to one of their showcases in the city. I was so excited that I booked with Anthony the next and then took my husband to be to another showcase the following week. He loved them too. Chantal is amazing, as is Ashanti. All night long guests were telling us how awesome the band was. In fact, a groomsman posted on facebook the next day "awesome wedding band = awesome wedding." You know that means something when a guy posts about it on facebook!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
On May 18th my husband and I got married at Fox Hollow and Live Wire was our band. Anthony and his band are AMAZING. Since day one at their showcase we were impressed with their professionalism, their talent and their keen knowledge of the art of entertaining. All of my guests can not stop talking about how well they performed and interacted with the guests to make the night so special for us. There were a few songs we were so eager to have performed and the band learned them and were awesome at them. I would recommend them hands down to everyone.
My husband and I have mixed feelings about Live Wire. They did a great job playing the wedding (they sounded great and kept the music going the whole night), but we had a few issues. They brought a different singer than who was named in our contract (to be fair, she still sounded great, but still...). They ignored many of the song requests that we made on the form they made us fill out before the wedding. Finally, they were difficult to get in touch with when we had questions in the weeks before the wedding. As far as our guests knew, they were a great band, but we felt a little ignored.
We heard a lot of bands in showcases and online, but Live Wire was by far the best and the easiest to work with. They learned new songs for us, they even let us sing (and rehearse) with them. I didn't think we could afford a band, but they were worth every penny.
There was not one person who did not mention how amazing the band was! They accommodated our requests, they played our wedding song perfectly, they were lively, and seamless every minute of the evening. We can't thank them enough for such an amazing night ! Jeff & Steph
There is not reason to use any other band for your wedding! Live Wire is amazing, professional and the best value for their top quality service. Everybody who was at my wedding mentioned how fun and fabulous the band was and the dance floor was packed all night long. They perfectly fulfilled all my special requests and did so with a smile. They made my wedding the most fun party I have ever attended. Please do not hesitate because they won't be available for long!!!!!
I planned an east coast wedding from the west coast. I have an extremely particular style and taste and knew that booking a wedding band I had not ever seen was going to be a risk. I also knew that a good wedding band can make your party and a bad one can absolutely break it.
I literally interviewed/sent my parents to over 20+ showcases in Manhattan. Show case after Show case, we were disappointed, UNTIL Livewire. They were reasonable, not cheesey, diverse, EPIC sound and most of all TALENTED. Every single musician was exactly who we saw at the showcase. Not like an agency where you don't know who you are going to get. Anthony was not salesy, was not pushy and was exactly the opposite of every band manager out there I spoke too (Yes 20+ band managers I spoke with). He was easy going and himself. He didn't have to sell them, they sold themselves.
Livewire learned songs for us. Livewire played NON STOP. Livewire played every song we asked for and more.
We had a wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate and the venue said they have never worked with a band that was so easy to deal with. From start to finish there was not a single person sitting all night. PLEASE contact me for any questions as I can not express our deepest satisfaction for this band. I went with the best choice and they made our wedding; worth every moment spent trying to find the best out there. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for making our wedding the best for all 250 guests.
First and foremost, if you’re deciding between whether or not you should choose a band or a DJ for your wedding choose band. Secondly, you should choose Live Wire. Live Wire MADE our wedding! We started receiving compliments on Live Wire’s performance as soon as they started playing and over a month later are still hearing how great everyone thought they were!
Jimmy, Julia, Chantele, and the rest of the band are immensely talented and bring amazing energy to their performance. Working with Anthony before and during the wedding was great. He was flexible with any requests we made and so organized he made us feel as if he knew the details of our wedding like the back of his hand.
We could not be more impressed or happy with Live Wire. They helped to make our wedding day perfect (and I do not use the word perfect lightly!).
Live Wire Entertainment was one of the best parts of our wedding. They kept our guests dancing all night, playing a variety of music that appealed to really all ages. During food service they weren't too loud so our guests could converse. The lead singers were out of this world and they encored three songs because the crowd couldn't get enough of them. If you want a quality band for a great price, this is your band!
Live Wire was AWESOME! This band was the highlight of our wedding. There were people on the dance floor all night long and we didn't want the night to end. The entire band was professional and extremely talented. Each song they performed was perfect and they managed to get in most, if not all, of the songs we requested that they play.
My father and I did a non-traditional Father-Daughter Dance to a slow song and then transitioned into swing dancing. The band pulled off the music PERFECTLY! I could not have have asked for a more entertaining, professional and talented band!
I cannot say enough good things about Live Wire. We had lots of special song requests and every single one was accommodated. The band played the entire night, there was never a lull. The energy that this band brought to my wedding was over the top. Anthony was a pleasure to work with. My guests said after, wow, you guys know how to party. Thanks to Live Wire our wedding was the party of a lifetime for sure!
No complaints! Great job!
This band was absolutely fabulous! Our wedding was over 2 weeks ago and people are still raving about how great they were! The dance floor was never empty; people danced all night. They never took a break. I'd like to crash a future wedding they do because they were so much fun!!!! I would highly recommend them.
After doing some research online, my fiance and I decided on booking LiveWire for our wedding on August 11, 2012. With the band being out of New York and us living in Massachusetts, I have to admit, I was a bit nervous booking a band I had never met with or heard in person.
Result: They were AWESOME! Even better than I could have imagined! Each and every song sounded like the the artist was right there in the room singing to us.
Unlike many bands/DJ's who just play a list of songs without paying much attention to their audience, LiveWire kept the crowd going ALL NIGHT.
I have received many compliments since the wedding and I'd like to send a special Thank You for taking the trip to CT and performing for us that evening.
BEST. BAND. EVER.
