Mirage Entertainment

Mirage was the perfect addition to our reception! There is nothing that compares to a live band and they got the guests dancing right from the first song. They had a perfect mix of upbeat and slow songs. We were able to make requests ahead of time for specific songs we wanted to be heard.

We went back and forth between a few wedding bands, but we are SO happy we picked Mirage! Our guests kept complementing the music, and we wished we could have danced all night! A live band truly brings something special to your reception and Mirage brings their A-Game. Not to mention, working with Lou and Darren was super easy and it felt like a personal friendship on the night of our wedding. I hope to see them play at another wedding soon or will definitely say "hi" if our paths cross again! Thank you, Mirage, for being so wonderful!

The best money we spent! They were phenomenal. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and they really paid attention to the type of music we were wanting. They were organized yet flexible, fun yet professional - the perfect balance in every way. Multiple friends asked me for their information after the wedding, so they are sure to be booked! Get your date while you still can! Thank you, Mirage!

AMAZING! Loved working with Lou and Darren. They made the day so special and so personable. If we could use them again we would.

Mirage Entertainment was excellent. Their crowd engagement was perfect. They are extremely professional, easy to work with, and a great time. On our calls ahead of our Big Day, they were extremely thorough. No detail was missed. I would recommend Mirage Entertainment to anyone.

This Band was INCREDIBLE! It's been 3 months and my guests are still messaging me about what a great time they had and how awesome the band was. They got everyone on the dance floor and they have an instinct for reading a room that cannot be beat. My best bridal tip would be to budget for Mirage and then your venue, caterer, and dress--they were that good!

Mirage was great to work with! They provided their repertoire list and we customized their playlist to suit the style of our friends and family. They even learned a few songs to personalize our event. When the event came, they literally blew us away with the full sound of their 9-piece band! They kept people of all ages out on the dance floor all night. They were the perfect group for our party!

The band was absolutely incredible. They had the guests up and dancing all night long. Countless people told us they were sore the next day from dancing all night long. They played a great spread of music to keep everyone interested. Would highly recommend upgrading to the horn selection. That added an extra flare to the music.

Simply OUTSTANDING!! Seriously…the BEST band for ANY event. They are so versatile and play with passion. You know they are AWESOME when most of your guests stay to the very end and ask for one more song!! I strongly recommend you book the full band with horns. Well worth the investment. Truly great musicians with love for music and people. So easy to work with and plan your event. BOOK THEM! You will be thrilled! Thank you Mirage!

Mirage was great! Lou was responsive and easy to work with. They had not played at St. Louis Art Museum previously, yet did a wonderful job. Their jazz ensemble played at our cocktail hour, their pianist played during dinner and the full band played for our dance.

If you're looking for a great band for your wedding, Mirage is all you need! They are such a great and fun group to have to help make your special day all you've dreamed of!! They're more like a family and they make sure your wedding night is one to remember with absolutely amazing memories!!! Beyond happy we had them as part of our wedding day celebration!!!

We had Mirage band for our wedding on 05-29-21. If I could give more than five stars I would! Mirage was the best! I think every bride is fearful that guests will be bored and not dance. From the minute I first talked with the band, I knew this would not be the case and I was right! All of our guests danced and sang the night away and even chanted, "One more song!" at the end of the night. Mirage was easy to communicate with and listened to what was important to me. They even did a special tribute song to my grandmother who made it down from Chicago for our special day. Mirage was professional, kind and turned our reception into one heck of a party. We loved you guys! Can't thank you enough for a great night!

The Mirage Entertainment is absolutely AMAZING. All of you future brides out there, RUN right now to book them !!! You will not regret it! They had the dance floor packed all night long. and played a variety of songs. They are all so easy to work with, and we are so glad that we picked them to sing at our wedding. The band even let my father-in-law sing a song with them. Thank you for making our day so special!!!

5 stars and would recommend to anyone looking for a band. They were easy to work with and so much fun. They have a wide variety of songs and are willing to work with you on sings. So happy with our choice and would book again in a heartbeat.

Mirage was the live band that played at my sisters wedding a few years ago, so my family and I knew what to expect, but my fiancé and his family did not. We had such a great time dancing all night and everyone loved this band. We received so many compliments about Mirage by our family and friends! Mirage learned how to play our first dance song live and it was beautiful. They play old and new music live, and they also played 90s and 2000s music during the breaks which was great because it was songs we heard growing up. We would definitely recommend them if you're looking for a fun live band for your wedding! They also have a song list online incase you're wondering what kind of music they play.

Mirage was absolutely amazing! They are incredibly talented and the lead singer’s voice is a force of nature. They had our guests dancing the ENTIRE night and when it was time to shut down, my guests kept chanting “one more song” (to which they played two fabulous more songs!). If you are thinking about having them as your wedding band, believe me, you will not regret it. Our wedding was a blast thanks to them! When I see wedding guests for the first time since my wedding, they were still praising Mirage as “top 3 wedding bands I have ever seen.” They also were incredibly accommodating to our wedding schedule and song selections. Our first dance song had a very particular melody & lead in and we wanted them to stick with that and they played it right on the beat so we could feel confident in our first dance. I can’t thank them enough for bringing our wedding to life. 1000% would recommend!

Mirage did a fantastic job with the music for our wedding. They also did a great job of keeping everything on track during the event. Planning was easy, and they were very flexible with a couple last minute changes.

Mirage is hands down the best wedding band in St. Louis!!! We had changed our wedding plans on them 3 times- thanks Covid- and they rolled with all the punches! In all the planning stages, they were very responsive and helpful, ensuring they had all the necessary details. Setting up for the reception, the venue changed their plans of where to set up. Yet again, they rolled with the punches! (we al liked the new spot better anyways) Their music was incredible! The lead singers can SING! They knew what songs to play when and how to interact appropriately with the guests during songs. They let our friend play a song on the drums too, which was great. Mirage made our wedding receptions absolutely perfect. 100% recommend!!! (They have also played at my brother and sister's weddings!)

From our first interaction to the last dance, Lou, Darren, and the entire band made the process seamless. Their experience was recognizable from the start as they guided us through the process, answered all of our questions, and gave recommendations that made our wedding unforgettable. The band arrived early to set up, the stage was organized and the lights added great ambiance. We requested a keyboardist for the wedding, a jazz ensemble for the cocktail hour, and the 8-piece band for the reception. We chose 2 songs for the band to learn, provided a list of songs to play, and the band filled in the blanks. Darren is a great MC, directing the flow of the reception and he really knows how to read the crowd. Mirage is filled with extremely talented musicians- we still have friends and family asking about them! We cannot thank Mirage entertainment enough, we would recommend them to everyone and our day would not have been the same without them!

FABULOUS!!!! They are the BEST! No regrets! I have received so many compliments on how great the band was! Everyone was dancing all night! We had Brett a pianist play personally requested songs during the ceremony, Jazz played during the cocktail hour, and the 9 person band during the reception! Communication is a big deal for me, and they were fantastic! Highly recommend!

Mirage was a fantastic band! Everyone I spoke to after the reception couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were, we all loved them. Thanks for doing our reception and making it amazing. Your band is something we will never forget. Alyssa and Nick

I love live music so knew I wanted a band but didn't know where to start. I submitted a request through WeddingWire for bands and got a lot of groups reaching out to me. It was a little overwhelming. However, Mirage clearly stood out quickly. They're very professional and super helpful. I talked to the group a few times and they knew exactly how to make my wedding come together. They gave me ideas on songs for the ceremony, music for the cocktail hour, and tips on how to make the reception even better. My whole group was on the dance floor throughout the night. They even let my dad perform a couple songs with them. I couldn't have asked for a better band and planning experience. Very well priced and worth every penny.

Mirage is the best wedding band in St. Louis! They were so easy to work with, very thorough, and always accommodating. They were the highlight of our reception. They got everyone out on the dance floor and they stayed on the dance floor the entire night. So many of our guests commented on how they were the best wedding band they have ever heard. Our guests loved the live music and the talented musicians. I can not recommend Mirage enough! They were absolutely spectacular and everything I could’ve hoped for in a wedding band.

Mirage was a great band! We thought they were really affordable and provided great entertainment all night long, making our wedding reception more fun than we ever could have imagined. They are very responsive and met every request we asked for. We highly recommend!

Mirage was the highlight of the night. My guests danced the night away! We recommend them to anyone looking to have a night they’ll never forget!

Mirage Entertainment was fantastic for our wedding! They were on top of everything! We didn't have to worry about anything. All of our guests loved them and their music. We couldn't have asked for a better band.

Everyone at our wedding raved about the band. They were professional, very responsive, and very accommodating. We had the best time!

We are using Mirage for the third time this a November. If you have friends who love to dance to a variety of fun music, this is the band for you. They are wonderful to work with and will make your wedding or other event a true celebration. We can cut corners on other aspects of our weddings, but would never do without Mirage.

At one point in time in the early summer, my fiancé and I considered cancelling our big wedding in St. Louis and trying to put together a destination wedding in Florida for just our family. We talked with each of our vendors to gain their perspective of what our reception would look like if we were to continue with our original plans. Of the numerous vendors that we had booked (and they were all very helpful), Mirage Entertainment provided the most insight and help with talking through the change in plans going forward. Once our minds were made up, we didn't look back and thank goodness for that, it was a wonderful evening. We even threw the band a curveball (notice the baseball reference as we are both HUGE Cards' fans) and asked them to learn a different first dance song three weeks before our wedding day. I was told, "don't worry about it, we got this." And they sure did! (Virtual hug to all members of Mirage!) We often joked that it would be hard to social distance at our reception as our family and friends LOVE to dance! It did help a bit as we unfortunately could not have all the guests that had planned to attend, but they understood......thank you dear friends! After dinner, it was three hours of nonstop dancing, which is exactly what we wanted. I could go on, but by now, I think you get the idea that we were overwhelmingly ecstatic with Mirage, not only their performance, but for being by our side through the 'nerve racking' times. We are already talking about holding a one-year anniversary party next year and invite EVERYONE from our original guest list. And you can bet, Mirage will be part of that fun.

Great to work with and went above and beyond to learn our songs!

I am so glad that I booked Mirage for our upcoming wedding! They truly go above and beyond for their clients. I especially enjoyed getting to go to a private showcase last winter to hear them play and talk to the band. They have had excellent communication, very professional, willing to accommodate a unique time frame, and will be traveling out of state to play for my wedding. Wedding planning is stressful, even more so dealing with planning during a pandemic- Mirage has been one of the few vendors that has been completely stress free through all of this! I am so excited to have them be apart of our big day!

Truly, choosing Mirage for our wedding band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning they were so easy to work with, relaxed and so professional. It made the planning stress-free and fun! We didn't follow a typical timeline; not only were they happy to accommodate they didn't miss a beat on the day of the event! They learned several songs just for us including our first dance song (a specific version too which was soo special) and also a special song to surprise my in-laws who were celebrating their 51st wedding anniversary the exact same day. It was such a special memory, thanks to Mirage. Once the formal dances were finished, they got right to work and truly got EVERYONE up and dancing! Our photographer ended up staying late just to capture it!! They truly made our day so special and memorable. People still talk about our wedding day, and remember it as one fun party - this is in huge part to Mirage. Thank you guys again - you all know how to party!

One word describes this band....... WOW! Given the set of circumstances we were faced with altering our wedding plans due to the pandemic, Darren and Lou went above and beyond to help guide us through something we never envisioned being faced with. While our guest list was essentially cut in half, that didn't stop us from having the times of our lives. Hands down, Mirage was the highlight of our evening

Excellent band! Very professional. Loved that they took care of the emcee duties as well. Very entertaining. We received many compliments for our band choice.

We couldn't have asked for a better band at our wedding. Mirage had the dancefloor rocking all night long. They are professional, very easy to work with, and can even learn special requests if given enough time. We had a fantastic wedding day and Mirage is a big part of the reason why.

Mirage was amazing at our wedding! The dance floor was packed the entire night! We even had to remove extra tables to make it even bigger. They also catered to our crowd and played faster songs when the group wasn’t feeling slow songs. I can’t thank them enough for an amazing night! They even allow you to crate playlists in their iPods for during their breaks! They were the best band to work with and absolutely perfect for our wedding! I would recommend Mirage for all, especially those looking for a good party!

Mirage made our wedding reception an absolute blast!!! Guests did not leave the dance floor! They interacted with the crowd throughout the night and even let me sing a song to my groom! They learned our first dance songs which made the night even more special. Everyone needs Mirage to play their wedding reception. I promise you will not be disappointed! And your guests will thank you! It was the best night of our lives!

The Mirage band was so great to work with. They responded quickly and professionally to all of our questions. Our dance floor was literally packed to the point where our guests were dancing on the carpet surrounding the dance floor all the way until the party was over at 11. They played a good mix of older and newer music that kept all ages dancing. They were very accommodating to what we wanted as a couple, including letting my husband's uncle play the harmonica with them for one song. We would highly recommend the Mirage to any couple who wants their wedding to be a fun experience for their guests!

Mirage was AMAZING! They were great with communication and planning prior to the reception. They were on time the day of, even a little early! The music was phenomenal. Everyone was a dancing fool and I got so many compliments on my choice of band. They had played two songs by my request that they were more than happy to learn for us and freaking knocked it out of the park. I highly recommend Mirage for any of your party entertainment needs.

After our wedding, we received many compliments on Mirage's performance. We were hesitant to hire Mirage at first because we couldn't find many videos of them actually playing. Fortunately, they hosted an open house rehearsal for us to come watch and we were sold. They are an extremely talented group with a reasonable price tag attached. Pros: Mirage was a one stop shop - we used the piano for the ceremony music, jazz quintet for cocktail hour, piano for dinner and full band for 3 hours of dance music. They've done tons of weddings so we trusted their expertise in selecting the dancing music. Mirage did not disappoint. They were great at picking out songs that kept folks on the dance floor all night. Plus, they did a wonderful job learning a couple songs for our special dances. Mirage played a wedding at our venue a couple months before and reached out with recommendations on changing our setup because of the acoustics of the venue. This was greatly appreciated! Cons: We had some hiccups communicating back and forth. However, most/all members of the band do work full time jobs as well so this was expected. In hindsight, I should have been more adamant about our ceremony music choices. I sent our reception planner 3 months before our wedding and asked about how/when we need to send ceremony music. I was reassured there was nothing to worry about yet. About a month before our wedding, still nothing had been discussed about ceremony music so I started to worry. When I reached out, I was made feel like I needed to pick easy songs for our ceremony because I hadn't left enough time. Now mere weeks before our wedding we are scrambling to come up with ceremony music. There's a lot of anxiety the weeks before your wedding so this was frustrating to say the least. Mirage does lots of reception music, but I got the impression that ceremonies are less common. For future brides, I would recommend asking more questions about the ceremony music. Overall, I would recommend Mirage for your wedding. They were knowledgeable and will keep your guests entertained and dancing all night long!

Awesome band! Dance floor was crowded all night! Thank you for everything!

Great band, easy to work with and an amazing time! Everyone danced with Mirage all night long!

My husband and I are so happy we picked Mirage for the entertainment at our wedding reception! Guests of all ages were on the dance floor all night long! They played a variety of music that always got the crowd going! Mirage was timely in all of their responses which made the planning go very smooth. I also received a lot of good feedback from my guests about how much they enjoyed Mirage! Would 10/10 recommend Mirage Entertainment for anyone who is planning an event such as a wedding reception!

Mirage was great to work with - they were very organized and communicated and coordinated everything perfectly. They are a VERY talented group! Everyone at our reception danced the entire night, which is exactly what we hoped for. They play a variety of songs to get every age out on the dance floor.

I attended a wedding that Mirage played at and had so much fun that I asked the couple for the band's contact information to book them for my own wedding. They were extremely responsive, flexible and friendly during the planning stages of the wedding. They learned a song for our first dance and took requests for some of our other favorite songs. The night of the wedding they were so professional, listened to our guests requests and made it such a fun evening. You can really tell they enjoy what they do! We got so many compliments on our wedding music. You can't beat this 8-piece band for the price they offer. They even offer ceremony and cocktail hour music! I highly recommend Mirage!
