“I have thought about how good your wedding band was at least once a week”, is what one of my bridesmaids told me weeks after our wedding. To say she is the only one who gave us this sort of compliment would be an understatement. The number of friends and family who have told us unprompted on how much fun they had on the dance floor that night in September is not totally surprising given how amazing Party Down is, but something that puts a smile on my face every time they are mentioned. They were just that good!
From day one of reaching out to the band and getting in contact with Justin, he was very responsive and attentive to what we envisioned for our reception. In addition to letting us help shape the setlist, Party Down offers DJ sets while the band is on break and during cocktail hour and dinner, which let us add even more of our favorite songs to our day.
Now for the most fun part — once Justin, Rob, Jeff, Alex and Jenane took the stage, the dance floor did not stop all night long. They engaged the crowd through dancing, impromptu guest sing-alongs on the mic, and even took the time to personalize some song lyrics per our request. Part of what makes Party Down so great is that they make their audience feel like they are a part of the performance, and it was so special to us to have that sense of togetherness with our guests on our wedding day. Furthermore, all of the members of the band are so flat-out talented and I am thankful they were able to make the trip to Cincinnati to grace us with their awesome-ness.
Similar to not wanting to leave the dance floor all night long, I could go on and on about how great Party Down is. But simply put, if you are looking for a band that will put the cherry on top of your wedding day, Party Down will not disappoint!

When I was looking for bands I knew I didn't want your typical, stuffy corporate/wedding band like most bands are here in town... I saw Party Down at a tin roof and knew I had to book this group of individuals! It was a ROCK SHOW and me and my friends/family loved them! Easily the best decision I made throughout this wedding vendor process. Justin made it super easy for me and was always available when I needed him (which was a lot). Party Down Live is top notch so do yourselves a favor and book this band!!!!

Party Down Live were the best wedding band ever! Legit ELECTRIC. All of our friends and family stayed on the dance floor until the end of the night. They even let me (the groom) get on stage a sing a jam with them, which GOT THE PEOPLE GOING.
Fantastic set list and just a great group of people to work with. They are young, vibrant, talented and will totally make your day truly special.

The Party Down Live band was the perfect band for our wedding. They were responsive throughout the booking process, answered all of our venue-specific questions about set up for the day-of, then arrived early, set up without issue, and rocked until the last minute we had at the venue! The entire band is extremely talented and had the crowd energized and singing along the entire night. We had to have them after we saw them at another wedding, then they exceeded our expectations! Best wedding band in town.

The best band, HANDS DOWN!!! So professional from the very beginning to the end. The contact, Justin, was very responsive through the whole planning process which made it so easy! The band plays all kinds of music! Very energized! All of the wedding guests stayed on the dance floor the whole reception! Everyone who has called or texted my husband and me after the wedding has asked what the name of the band was and how great they were! We could have partied all night long with them!! I highly recommend!!

This band is AMAZING! The contact, Justin, is wonderful to work with. He is responsive and knowledgeable. The band plays a wide variety of songs; all generations can enjoy. When the band was taking their breaks, Justin also DJing in between and Jenane, the female lead singer (whose voice is FANTASTIC) also MC'd the wedding like introducing the wedding party, releasing tables, etc. Our wedding was on NYE and they absolutely brought the party!! Everyone at the wedding loved them. I would highly recommend them for any event.

My fiance and I hired party down for our wedding this past September in Nashville, TN. Being in music city and having a lot of family and friends traveling in from out of town, we felt a bit of pressure to provide entertainment that reflected the talent of the city. Party Down beyond exceeded that expectation in every way. We ended up paying the venue to extend our event because no one wanted to stop dancing. I think it would be safe to say it was one of the best elements of our day. 10/10 recommend.

Music was #1 on my reception priority list--let's be honest, the band/DJ will make or break your reception. Party Down Live was exactly what I was looking for: high energy, open to playing the music you want to have, and keeps your people on the dance floor. They were wonderful to work with! They were open to learning any song, both for the acoustic guitar during the ceremony and first dances/other important songs. Our wedding guests continually came up to me throughout the night and after to comment on how great they sounded. You won't regret booking them!

We cannot say enough good things about this band, I don’t even know where to start! They were hands down our absolute favorite people to work with and I can’t imagine our wedding without them. The amount of people that kept coming up to us saying “wow this band is awesome” and “this is by far the best band I’ve ever seen at a wedding” was overwhelming. Not only is Justin the most easy going, down to earth person, he made sure every detail was perfect and answered all my questions even when they were probably dumb ones lol. Having a good band was one of our top priorities when planning the wedding and they by far exceeded our expectations! We will be visiting them down on Broadway as often as we can because now they just feel like old friends!

Nothing but amazing things to say about Party Down. Song selection was unreal and the dance floor was full the entire night. The band was interactive and the life of the party. Everyone had an incredible time and really enjoyed the entertainment - so much so, that people commented about their performance the next day. Would recommend this band to anyone!
