Let me just say, Marquee is the best wedding band out there.
They had people who don’t dance, dancing! All. Night. Long. I personally probably burned more calories dancing/jumping than in any of my weekly workout classes.
The atmosphere they created was electric and we couldn't have asked for a better group to perform for our 240 wedding guests. From the piano playing in the main lobby, to the ceremony music, cocktail hour and even our very last song (Mr. Brightside), they were nothing short of phenomenal. The way they seamlessly blended different genres and kept the energy high was impressive. It was evident that each band member poured their heart and soul into every song and it was so fun to be involved in some of it up front with them!
We appreciate the miles they went to ensure the music was tailored to our tastes and of course the extra miles they drove to get to our wedding venue in Bergen County. Someone looked at me and said “this is the best band I’ve ever heard before” and I proudly said “they came from south Jersey”
Their talent, professionalism, and enthusiasm were top notch - we'll never forget it. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had them as our wedding band, and will cherish the moments they helped create for a lifetime.

Marquee was the star of the show at our wedding! I never left the dance floor. It was my top priority as a bride to have an amazing band and create that party life atmosphere and that is exactly what Marquee did. They nailed each and everyone one of our special requests. My family is huge live music fans and they lived up to the role. From our first dances to the extra hour of reception we added on, Marquee was on point. They had everyone dancing or enjoying from a distance. They are a great group of people to work with! Hope to see Marquee out and about soon!

We had an incredible experience with Marquee as our wedding band and really think they made our wedding day as great as it was! We received so much positive feedback on our guests on how much they loved the band at our wedding, and so many guests commented about how they had never seen so many guests on the dance floor, which we truly feel was due to the talent of Marquee! They were so easy to work with and provided a tailored service for us, asking all of the right questions to ensure we had the experience we wanted and making changes based on what we wanted along the way. The band truly knew how to read the crowd and knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dance floor. They were incredible during cocktail hour, dinner, and after dinner when they really got the energy up! Additionally, they learned several songs just for our wedding, including creating a customized version of our first dance song for us (as we wanted an acoustic version of a rock song) and learning a song that was very special to my family. We truly believe Marquee is the best wedding band out there and are so happy we were able to meet and work with them - they really made the wedding day!

You will not find a better band for your wedding... Having Marquee MADE my wedding. It was the best entertainment any of my family or friends have ever experienced. High talent, great vocals, insane horn section… you won’t regret booking this band.

Marquee was absolutely AMAZING!! I am not exaggerating when I say that all 200 guests were up dancing the entire night! We even had the venue clear 3 tables from the dance floor to make more room because no one was sitting down. The way that they transition to the next song keeps the party going all night long! Everyone kept telling us on how great the band was. If you're looking for an incredible wedding band, look no further and book Marquee!!!

Marquee did a great job at our wedding in August 2017. From ceremonial music, to introductions, and keeping our guests on the dance floor, Marquee was amazing. The band leader, Karl, went over and beyond prior to the wedding to ensure my husband and I would have the best night ever! I highly recommend Marquee for anyone who is looking for a great wedding band!

We looked at Bands and DJs for our wedding and I really wasn't sure which to go. But, then I came across Marquee's website and fell in love with their music. Working with Karl and Marquee Band was so great!! Our ceremony and cocktail hour were lovely with the live music and they MADE our reception - what a great party!!! Our guests were on the dance floor ALL night long - before they even started serving food. They were so much fun, we loved all of the music and they even learned how to play our first dance song for us, which was so special. Thank you so much!

Marquee was absolutely amazing during our wedding. The bandleader Karl was extremely responsive, and he was able to take my suggestions and combine them with his expertise; it was a fabulous collaboration.
The band was incredible - we actually had people googling them during dinner to find out more info. I think we received more compliments on them than anything else.
Don't even look any further for any other band - you will not go wrong hiring Marquee!

Everyone from my wedding is still talking about Marquee. From the start, Karl was so easy to work with, and I didn't have a doubt in my mind that he and all of Marquee would deliver just as wonderfully.
I can't thank them enough for making mine and my husband's day unforgettable. We were completely blown away by the band and all of their talents. Everything was perfect, from the big things to the smallest details. The band catered to the crowd so well—I took a moment to sit and look, and it was the best feeling to see everyone together dancing to the best live band I have ever heard.
Karl and Marquee went above and beyond for us, and even learned our entrance song for our reception. I also had a few very special requests (song dedications, calling up family members for songs), and they accommodated each and every one. They knew what each age group wanted to hear, and got everyone involved. They even went out on the dance floor to let the younger crowd sing. Heck, they let my cousin, who is a singer, step in and sing with the band!
Everything was perfect. I can't thank them enough. Their energy was contagious, and I'm thrilled to recommend them. If you hire Marquee, you'll hire true talent and experience live entertainment at its best.

My wife and I wanted to go with a band that were happy to listen to our suggestions as well as jump in with their own thoughts when required. Marquee could not have been more 'our pace.' Karl was fantastic in organising and leading the band and the music was fantastic. I honestly don't think we could have made a better choice with them.

Our guests loved the Marquee band at our wedding! They played songs friendly for all guests and they surprised us and performed during the ceremony as we walked down the aisle. Also, they were really accommodating with our budget. Our only qualms were that we asked for our first dance song to be cut to 90 seconds, but it went the whole time creating some awkward moments, and our MC, who was a friend, did not have positive feedback while coordinating with the band to decide when, how and who would speak at each break. Other than that, they were excellent to work with and I would definitely use them again for a future event.

Marquee played my sister's wedding 10 years ago, so I knew they could really throw down a good party. I wanted people dancing from start to finish and Marquee got the job done.

Hi Joetta, I know this review is from a few years ago but you only gave us 1 star out of 5...
. Your comments sound like you enjoyed everything. So why did you only give us 1 star. Thanks for your time, Karl

Choosing a band over a DJ was a tough choice for me in the beginning but after hearing Marquee in their showcase the decision was easy. My guests were dancing before dinner was even served! Marquee sounds great and are very accommodating of any songs you want to play and do not insist on sticking to songs on their playlist.

Future brides and grooms.........if looking for a fantastic band to play at your wedding, then look no further. My husband and I were very particular about selecting just the right band for our wedding. I desired certain melodies and he insisted on a band with a horn section. Marquee filled our every wish and more. All night long, we received compliments and questions from our guests stating, "how tremendous the band was...., who were they......,how did we find them......, that they were the BEST BAND EVER!" If you are looking to make your reception something not only a day you will always remember, but also your guests, then be sure to contact Karl. "Marquee" is a band to be heard!

Marquee Band did a fantastic job at our daughter & son-in-law's wedding on August 31, 2013. From music during the Cocktail Hour through the last song of the evening - everything was perfect. Every request was met and the band exceeded our expectations by learning new songs requested by the bride & groom..........and they nailed them! The dance floor was filled the entire evening and the selections chosen suited every age bracket. Karl and the Band truly "read" the crowd perfectly and nobody wanted to see the night end. After the wedding, we received many compliments on Marquee's performance. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a perfect event. Thanks Marquee!

Marquee was the best choice I could have made for entertainment at my wedding. We simply told them our preferred genres and they were able to judge the crowd and play all the right music. They are extremely professional to work with. Even with a free concert that my guests could view from the balcony of my reception starring Jimmy Buffet my guests preferred dancing to Marquee! They are definitely the best wedding band in South Jersey!

The best decision that we made for our wedding was hiring Marquee! Choosing a band was so important to my husband and I because we wanted everyone to have a great time and be able to dance the night away. We went to several showcases and watched tons of online videos of bands during our search but we never got excited until we contacted Marquee and saw them perform at another
wedding. We knew right away that they would do an
amazing job, but every expectation that we had was
exceeded. From the start, Karl, the band leader, was great
to work with and responsive to all of our special requests. Our reception was at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia, and the band kept the dance floor packed the entire night and
every single guest commented about how great they were
and could not believe their range. They played oldies,
classics, and tons of current songs. Marquee also has a
DJ/MC who makes sure that everything stays on schedule
(introductions, first dances, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss) and keeps the party going and plays requests
during breaks. You will not be disappointed if you choose
Marquee, trust us. We are convinced they are the best
wedding band anywhere.

Marquee was phenomenal for my wedding! They were excellent to work with in coordinating special songs and the entire layout of the evening. They kept everyone on the dance floor with a fantastic mix of current and older songs, in addition to our special requests. I would beg to differ about the 'steep' price stated in the previous review; I found the price to be quite the contrary compared to other bands we were looking into. Marquee most certainly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier about the outcome!

Meet with this band and they just did a great job with my family who are older. They had 6 band members for a great price, good variety of music and high quality of music. It was easy to get them and no troubles. I enjoyed my wedding day. Video to follow.

Marquee provided the music at my wedding reception. They were highly professional, easy to work with, and respected and accommodated multiple special requests. Most importantly, they kept our guests dancing all night! While their rates are a bit steep, they are worth the price for those who are willing to spend it.
