One Night Band

We were married in November of 2022 and finally getting around to writing reviews. One Night Band knocked it out of the park. They played the perfect mix of music, MC'd the evening flawlessly, and they were a pleasure to work with. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting the band and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire One Night Band for our reception!

Unbelievable! That's all I can say about this band. From booking to the performance, they were professional and really got the party going. I would highly recommend One Night Band to anyone who is looking for a great wedding band. We couldn't be happier.

We are obsessed with One Night Band (ONB) and can't recommend them enough!!! Hiring a band was the absolute most important thing to me and my now-husband, and we are SO happy we went with ONB. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and countless people told us we had the best wedding band they'd ever seen. Marty also made the whole process leading up to the wedding seamless and stress-free. We felt so strongly about the music at the wedding that we hand-selected every song the band would play, and ONB accommodated all of our requests. On top of that, we had family members who were supposed to play music during our ceremony, and when we realized last-minute that they needed a keyboard and sound equipment, ONB stepped in to help us out. Marty's relaxed and calming vibe was much appreciated as we were frantically working through last-minute details in the two weeks leading up to the wedding. We can't thank ONB enough for making our wedding day so fantastic!!!

One Night Band made our wedding night as great as it could be. From the planning to the execution, this band is pro. If you're considering them for your wedding I would highly recommend them. You can't go wrong. They played all genres, emcee'd the wedding very well, and everyone at our wedding was talking about how great there are!

We got married in May 2022, and One Night Band performed at our wedding. They were truly amazing and made it such a great experience!! We had an 11am wedding with a 1pm reception, and I felt that a live band would really be the best way to get people up and dancing for a brunch wedding. And they definitely did!! The band is so talented, and they are also great at reading the room. I was not someone who wanted to plan every single detail myself, but they did give me the option to completely set the playlist. Instead, I just gave a few examples of songs that I liked / the vibe we were going for, and I left the detailed set list up to the band. I was so happy with all of their song choices, and it really took some stress off of me! I think one of the highlights of the whole day was when the band let our priest come up and sing a song with them. We worked with Marty for the planning process, and he is great to work with. I would 100% recommend One Night Band for weddings or galas or anything you want a great live band for!

One Night Band played our daughter’s wedding this past weekend. Could not be happier with their performance and professionalism! Created a great vibe for the wedding reception….thanks to ONB for making Libby & CJ’s party so fun!

My husband and I saw One Night Band at a summer festival right after we got engaged, and immediately searched their website to see if they did weddings while sitting in our lawn chairs. We were so impressed with the variety of music they played- country, r&b, pop, music from the 80's, hip hip, and so much more. What also caught our attention was the energy they had on stage, and their stage presense. We thought to ourselves "if this is how they put on a show at a festival, we can't imagine how they turn it up for a wedding." Let me just say that they were INCREDIBLE at the wedding! If our guests continue to rave out one thing after the wedding, it was our band! The dance floor was packed THE ENTIRE NIGHT! My husband and I also appreciated that they take a 30 minute DJ break, so we were able to put together a spotify playlist of a few songs the band doesn't play. We truy felt that the setlist for the entire evening was perfect, and covered all genres of music- guests of all ages were happy with the song selections!! Overall, having a live band added so much energy and spark to the reception, and really helped keep the dance floor packed. I would 1000000% recommend One NIght Band as your entertainment for your wedding, you will not regret it!!!

Best Wedding Band Ever! You're missing out if you don't go with One Night Band, they are professional through and through!

From the time we booked them, to the time we had to reschedule due to Covid, to the actual wedding, everything was perfect! Live music is very important to us and we knew we wanted a band. We saw One Night Band at a friend's wedding several years ago and when we got engaged we reached out immediately. If you're looking for a band, look no further, One Night Band is who you want. They put a concert on at our wedding and the dance floor was packed. It was the greatest night of our lives.

I think the first vendor we booked for our wedding was ONB almost TWO years before our wedding actually happened. Marty was the absolute easiest vendor to work with in regards to our multiple reschedules and always made it work. They played live guitar and piano for our ceremony and even learned a specific song for the processional that I always imagined walking down the aisle to.. it was beautiful. Now the real fun! The reception was an AMAZING. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and the range of different music that ONB can play just makes it that much better. So many of our guests have complimented how good the band was and how much they had. highly recommend !!

ONB made our wedding reception. They had the dance floor packed the whole night with a variety of music for everyone. They were interactive and so much fun. The night of and following our wedding we have had so many compliments from everyone. We couldn't recommend them more. We had to move our wedding reception due to COVID and Marty worked with us and we couldn't have imagined our night without them. The Best Band!

We're so glad One Night Band was part of our wedding reception. They kept the dance floor packed all night and helped make the evening memorable. They even created a slow version of the song September by Earth Wind and Fire for our first dance that led right into the standard version to get all of our guests onto the dance floor from the start. The wide range of songs on their set list appealed to guests, old and young.

One Night Band is absolutely amazing. We attended a wedding that they played at and we didn't have to look any further than One Night Band when choosing for our own wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night, the entire band was so professional, fun, and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend! We want to throw a party with them every year!

I have worked with Marty a few times now and cannot say enough great things. As a planner, I work with a band almost every weekend. These guys are the real thing: truly talented, GREAT energy, can do a mix of great tunes and can really read a crowd. They also make the planners life very easy by being easy going and understanding as changes on the wedding day are bound to happen! If I could work with these guys every weekend I would. 5 stars!

WOW, that pretty much sums it up! I had no clue where to begin and we stumbled upon One Night Band at a street fest in Chicago. I knew within minutes that I wanted them at my wedding. I approached them after their performance and asked if they perform at weddings. They enthusiastically replied, YES. From there, I worked with Marty to get things underway. The process was painless, the music was amazing, and my guests are still talking about them. We basically had a concert at our wedding, and we loved every minute of it. The MC'ing, song selection, crowd interaction, and crowd's response was everything I hoped for. My husband and I did our research and found One Night Band to be a great value, and they're a real band, not a hodgepodge of musicians that are available on that night. If you are going to have live music at your wedding hire One Night Band. We are so happy we had them perform for our big day!

I don’t write reviews or have social media because both are as appealing as execution via flying rabid weasels... My wife and I got married January 19, 2019 at the Mayne Stage in Chicago and we booked this band. Beforehand, my biggest worry was that they had nothing but amazing reviews, and so I thought maybe I smelled a rat. No. THESE PEOPLE ARE FREAKING AMAZING. Everyone--EVERYONE--at the wedding raved/raves about them. Like I said, this is my second review and I don't want/care/need my opinion heard, but I also understand that in One Night Band's profession, the reviews are critical. I normally wouldn't even care to comment (I mean, they quoted a price that we paid and that's that), but damn...they are REALLY REALLY good.

One Night Band (ONB) was amazing when they played for our wedding. We checked them out at one of the gigs they played at a bar and thought they were great, we saw great reviews, meant with marty and went with it. For a 6 member band, their pricing was very reasonable. Marty was very professional and helpful along the whole way. As everyone knows, wedding planning and executing an amazing event takes a whole village. Marty and his band were the highlight of the night. We enjoyed them live at the bar but were completely blown away when they killed at our wedding. The two lead singers were great, they can sing sing! The musicians were stellar. You can tell they really love playing. We also hired the guitarist to play during our ceremony and that was a special touch. Nothing beats live music. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great they were. They really got the crowd dancing and going! On top of that, Marty (captain/manager of the team) was able to help out when things weren't going as planned. He was helpful with the logistics and making sure things were going as smoothly as possible. If ONB is still around in 10-20 years, we would have them play our anniversary. Thats how much they rocked!

Music is very important to my husband and I, and our relationship, so finding the right wedding band was very important to us. We could not be more thrilled with One Night Band! Marty was personable, professional and organized from the very beginning, and helped us plan our reception from start to finish. We enjoyed our planning calls with him and had fun making our song selections from their catalog. On the big day, they delivered a fantastic performance! Our guests loved their energy and so did we. They are all very talented and really brought the party we were hoping for! They were also very accommodating, allowed my father-in-law to perform a few songs, and adjusted their schedule when we needed them to. Overall, we highly recommend One Night Band is to everyone and thank them for being such a big part of our special day!

We loved having One Night Band for our wedding! Marty was great to work with. He was responsive, led us through the wedding process, but was also flexible and worked with our ideas. He was great to have the day of, and was MC throughout the night. The band was so much fun the day of, and we received many compliments from our guests. They are all great musicians, and had great energy. Can't thank you all enough!

One Night Band performed at our wedding in April, and all of our guests were blown away. My husband and I actually lost track of how many people came up to us afterwards to tell us that ONB was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. Marty and his crew kept people on the dance floor all night long, and brought an incredible level of energy and enthusiasm to our wedding. On top of all this, Marty is a great communicator and was always prompt in responding to questions or requests that we had. We can't recommend ONB highly enough!!

After seeing them perform for the first time, we knew that they were the right band for our wedding. They are incredibly fun, bring the energy, and make for an awesome dance set. If you want to have legitimately awesome music and avoid wedding band cliches, go with ONB.

We hired One Night Band for our wedding in July 2019, and it was one of the best decisions we made for the entire wedding. They sounded amazing, and even through 3 hours of live music had so much energy and kept the dance floor packed all night. Our family and friends count not stop raving about how great the band was all night (and we still get that comment a month later!) Aside from sounding great and putting on an incredible show, they provided so many little touches that made the experience and night perfect - live music during cocktail hour, sound during the ceremony, DJ'd music during a set break - all little things that added up to a perfect night. Marty was an absolute professional to work with. He answered all of our questions, was very responsive, and very organized. He helped us put together the perfect set list for the night, add his suggestions and experience to what works well, and was around the whole time leading up to the day to make sure everything went well. I cannot recommend One Night Band enough to anyone looking for a live band for their wedding. And we are definitely planning on seeing them again next time they are playing a bar or festival.

From start to finish, EVERYONE was dancing! THANK YOU One Night Band. I saw them at my sister's wedding in 2016 so I knew what I was in for, but they still exceeded my expectations. Book them, you and your guests will thank you!

One Night Band made the entire night and made sure our wedding was so incredibly memorable! EVERYONE could not stop raving about how great the band was and couldn't believe how well they were able to read the crowd!! I would definitely recommend them in a heartbeat!!! Our entire wedding was on the dance floor the entire time and it was so fun-- as typical "non-dancers" were feeling the music, as well! Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable night!!! It was everything we hoped it would be and more!

BEST. WEDDING. BAND. EVER! One Night Band saved our wedding. Because we didn’t want to spend money needlessly on tchotchke items like favors, monogrammed napkins and a photo booth, we opted to spend our budget on a band, photography and food. While my venue was beautiful and easy to work with, the dinner service was lacking and disappointing, but none of my guests cared because they were having such a great time on the dance floor. We asked for 2 encores and the band complied. They were so great nobody wanted to leave! Marty was so easy to work with and listened to all my requests...he also did a great job MCing the wedding. My husband was skeptical of the price, but at the end of the wedding he said they were worth every penny!

One Night Band exceeded our expectations and kept the dance floor packed for the duration of the reception. I highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a band for their wedding. My husband and I can't thank them enough.

Everything was easy working with Marty and One Night Band. My husband and I were blown away by their performance, the emceeing of the event, and my guests still talk about One Night Band. One thing that I was assured of from the get go was that it would be the performers that we saw at a festival while shopping the band. I had no idea that many bands use a name and they they fill several weddings in the same night with a roster of people, you don't know who will be showing up at your wedding. One Night Band is an actual band that performs on a regular basis, we loved that when we were speaking to different bands about their services. Trust me, hire One Night Band for your big day, you won't regret it!

We feel so lucky to have found Marty and the One Night Band to play at our wedding! They were so easy to work with and kept the party going all night! Our guests are still talking about how awesome they were several months later!

I came across One Night Band at my cousin’s wedding. I knew, my now husband knew, a live band was an absolute MUST at our wedding. We’d been searching and wanted to see what other bands were like, if they’d be of any interest to us, but there was no one like them. I got their contact information from my cousin and were browsing through the website and contacted Marty Murphy. Marty was not only timely in his response, he remembered exactly what wedding was my cousins that we’d heard them play. I felt at that moment, these are the kind of people I want to work with. While I understand this might be a job for some people, this day would be the most important of our lives, and I wanted to know that the people we work with understand that and are willing to work WITH us, not for us, as just another job. Marty explained everything about the day so well, and gave us a layout of exactly what we needed and how we can make things easiest for everyone. Now the band themselves, I can’t even describe. Our wedding was 6 months ago from this review, and I’m still getting random comments, even AT other people’s weddings, about how much fun our wedding was and how the band was KEY. I had one friend tell me that they’d never seen a dance floor so INSTANTLY packed, and STAY packed in all the weddings she’s been to. There are two things we invested our money in for the wedding, and this is one of them.

I cannot say enough great things about One Night Band. The live music was the largest compliment we received and ONB blew us away. They were incredible to work with from the beginning to the end and listened to our needs. EVERYONE was on the dance floor! They will make your wedding the party of the year! Thank you again!!

Simply fantastic! Live music was the most important aspect of our reception, and my husband and I couldn’t have been happier with One Night Band. The dance floor was packed all night, and they put on one heck of a show!

HIRE THIS BAND! There are so many wedding bands out there, and this one is the real deal. We had our wedding at the Farm at Dover, a beautiful barn in WI. They were recommended by the owner, now I know why. They rock! Hip Hop, Country, Wedding Classics, they do it all. My beautiful bride and I keep getting compliments. Hire them, they're worth every penny!

I'm really not sure where to start, ONE NIGHT BAND turned our wedding into an insanely fun party the second they hit the stage! Marty did an excellent job of MC'ing the wedding (really easy to work with for booking and coordination as well, can take a couple days to respond, but they're a busy band and I can tell they love what they do). My husband and I couldn't be happier with the decision we made to have ONB perform for our big day. Thank you, One Night Band!

One Night Band was the highlight of our wedding. People are still talking about how great the band was and how they kept the energy up all night! The music they played was great and everyone was on the dance floor! Marty was so great and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

If you want a high energy, affordable, and FUN time at your wedding then you should book One Night Band as your entertainment. They are such a talented group- they were able to play all genre's of music. They played some great old tunes, new tunes, and songs that aren't commonly played at weddings. They really won me over with all the throwback 90's R&B songs. Our crowd was in their 30's and 40's so many of them were singing right along with the music, you felt nostalgia wave over the audience. In addition, the lead singer (who also looks like Lenny Kravitz) played a saxophone and during a couple of songs, jumped right in to the crowd and people were huddled around him bopping to the sounds he was making- it was awesome. Many of our guests came up to us after and said "That was the best band I have ever seen at a wedding". I have also been to many weddings with bands, this one tops it. If you are looking to book a band, don't hesitate- they are the ONE. Marty was also great with handling all the logistics, so don't worry about your wedding not going as planned, because they will help make the flow perfect. And if you don't believe me, just watch their promo video, it says it all.

One Night Band was phenomenal! From the planning to the execution and the music, OMG, the music was so good. The dance floor was packed all night. If you're looking for a band that is easy to work with, super professional, and will leave a lasting impression, hire One Night Band. ProTip - have the guitarist play for your ceremony, he was amazing!

We are SO happy we made the right choice! My husband and I spent months looking for the perfect band to play our wedding. Our #1 goal was that we wanted the dance floor to be full all night. After seeing One Night Band at a festival over the summer, we knew that they would be up for the task. Sure enough, our reception was the best! Family and friends are STILL telling us how awesome One Night Band was at our wedding! They played ALL the songs we requested, and they knew how to get everyone up and dancing all night. On a planning note, Marty worked with me beforehand. During the months leading up to our big day, Marty answered all of our questions and helped us plan exactly how the night would go. We highly recommend One Night Band, and our wedding guests do, too!!

We had One Night Band at our wedding and they were the perfect choice! Marty was so easy to work with while putting all the logistics together. He was always there to answer questions and help with anything from timeline to song selection. On the day of the wedding, the band was AWESOME. They sounded great and had such great energy on stage. Even their bassist was dancing all night!!! They played a diverse set of genres that kept the dance floor packed all night. We couldn't be happier with our choice of One Night Band.

We had the One Night Band play our wedding, and loved the MC/band combo that kept the evening running smoothly. From the wedding party introductions and facilitation of the speeches, to the smooth transition to the first dance and then nonstop, fun, funky and quality music the rest of the night that kept the crowd going, we were super thrilled to have picked the One Night Band!

Amazing wedding band!!! Our dance floor was packed all night long and several guests told us at the night of or after how great the band was. ONB is so easy to work with - played all the songs we wanted. So happy to have them as part of our special day!! If you are looking for a wedding band - look no further!

AMAZING BAND!!! They kept everyone dancing all night and they made the reception flawless and exciting. They are true entertainers and wonderful musicians. If you and your guests want to have a bunch of fun, book these guys.

As soon as we got engaged, we knew we had to have two great things at our wedding to make it an unforgettable party. 1. Great booze. 2. The perfect band. Since we got married at a distillery, booze was covered. Next we spent weeks searching for the perfect band. ENTER ONE NIGHT BAND! We wanted a band that didn't feel like your typical, cheesy wedding band. We wanted a band that you'd see in concert or at the most fun bar in town. That is exactly what One Night Band is. From great emcee roles to saxophone solos ending in the splits, One Night Band created the perfect party atmosphere for our wedding. I can't tell you how many people came to us saying, "best band ever." Go with them - you won't regret it!

One Night Band was fantastic and we are so glad we booked them for our wedding! We actually originally booked them based on the great reviews they received and then were so glad when we saw them live and loved them. Marty (the drummer) was very easy to work with and super accommodating to us with all of the setups we wanted to have for the night. The band played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, DJ'ed the cocktail hour and dinner, and played live at night. They were incredibly professional throughout the whole process and over the course of the night. The live music that they played was fantastic and kept everyone dancing all night long, which was what we cared about. They were great at interacting with the crowd and getting everyone into it and at one point, the lead singer was even out on the patio (while singing) to get people inside. We had an absolute BLAST dancing to the music. If you're looking for a fun night with great music, definitely hire One Night Band.

One Night Band is easily one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. We booked at a very unique venue and spent a lot of time looking for a band that would fit our plans. Not only was ONB extremely helpful before the wedding, they were a life saver day of. We had an unusually large wedding party, but ONB was able to keep the energy up and everyone in order as they announced our party and ran through speeches and events. One of my Groomsmen was planning on using a friend to run his wedding, but after seeing how helpful and professional an experienced MC is, he has completely changed his tune. I now have multiple people asking how we found the band and even if they can use the band themselves (don't worry we said yes so we can see them again!). Overall, I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. There was not one second where people seemed bored, and we 100% attribute that to One Night Band. I have had others claim it was the most fun wedding they've been to, and they as well claimed it was because of the music and energy throughout the night. Thanks for everything!

We booked One Night Band for our wedding and they were incredible! They kept the energy going throughout the night and were the perfect band for our wedding. Months before the wedding, Marty took the time to get to know my bride and I, and our tastes in music. He was overly patient with all of our questions and the band as whole really came through on the big day. They are true professional's. Their sound is great and their playing is spot on!
