WOW! Party Nation was amazing and made the reception for our daughter’s wedding! Everyone has been raving about the band! Thank you for being so easy to work with and professional. The dance floor stayed packed the entire night! Everyone had a blast! We so appreciated how special you made the evening. The groom’s mom was so touched that you learned the Pretender’s song for her mother/son dance. We just couldn’t have asked for a better band! Thank you!

Party Nation is THE BEST wedding band out there! They are SO talented! We first saw them at a friends wedding and then ended up having them play at our wedding two years later. They know how to get the crowd going and are seriously such good entertainers! There was a song I asked them to play towards the end of the night and one of the band members stepped away to learn the song for us and within 10 minutes they played and CRUSHED the song! It amazed me how quickly they were able to learn it. They are extremely talented, we would highly recommend booking them if you are looking for a FUN band that keeps the crowd singing and dancing!

One of my biggest requirements for my wedding was to have a band that got everybody dancing. Let me just say Party Nation absolutely exceeded expectations on every level. We had pe...

ople on the dance floor all night long - to the point where they didn't even want to go to the bar for fear of missing the next song!! They were a total hit, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the band was - everyone said it was the best wedding band they've ever heard! In addition, Party Nation was extremely kind and flexible as we navigated COVID rescheduling in 2020. I would recommend this band to anyone hands down!!! Thank you Party Nation for helping us throw the best party of 2021!!

sy to communicate with, have the best song selection, are very high energy, and EXTREMELY talented. Since our wedding, all we've received are glowing reviews of Party Nation and how this was the best band they had ever heard at an event. We also hired their guitarist to play during our ceremony. As luck would have it, a fire alarm went off literally seconds from me walking down the aisle. The guitarist played during the entire alarm (17 min) and to the BEAT OF THE ALARM. It was both hilarious but also very professional on their part. I cannot say enough good things about Party Nation!!

Clare F

The most amazing wedding band out there! My brother used them for his wedding, and they were so high energy and did an amazing performance that I had to book them. This group is so...

willing to work with you to specify exactly what you want them to play. They will learn songs for you, and they sound incredible! There was not a single person not dancing at my wedding. They have amazing energy, do great crowd work, and bring people up on stage. They didn't even stop performing when it started pouring down rain at my wedding. Although it was tented, the rain was getting onto the stage, but they kept going! They took about a 5 minute break, max, to make sure their equipment was okay. They made my husband and me feel so special, and we truly had the best time at our reception because of them. Cannot recommend them enough!

impeccable. I can't tell you how many people have told us that was the best part of the wedding. Our dance floor didn't stop for 4 straight hours! The best wedding day decision we made was hiring Party Nation, and we're already trying to think of a way to see them play again! If you're considering booking them, do it, you won't regret it!

Michael M

Party Nation performed at our wedding in Highlands, North Carolina and was absolutely fantastic. They were engaged in the planning process early on, and then delivered in a big way...

at the actual event. The music was incredibly high quality, their musical range was impressive across genres, their energy (particularly that of the lead singer) was phenomenal, and they were flexible in the moment (quickly adjusted timing of our 1st dance and performed an impromptu wrap-up song). They got the entire wedding party dancing from the outset, were very engaged with the crowd, and themselves possessed great dance moves which made for a fantastic time. We would highly recommend this group for anyone looking to plan a fun, exciting wedding!

ything. Tons of energy. Singers were phenomenal. And they were on the lower side of prices compared to other bands. They will not disappoint!

Party Nation was absolutely wonderful! We had the BEST time, and they are super talented. Everyone of all ages was dancing and enjoyed their music. Highly recommend!

We have used Party Nation for the Margarita Ball for 6-8 years. One year early somebody wanted to use a band they knew that "was just as good as Party Nation" Well they were not!...

! we do not even debate who we will use now. they are high energy and a great cover band with a wide range and music. They are like a concert band in they are great fun to watch. We get great compliments on them every year.

Wow, amazing band! They bring a fun energy to the party, our wedding party and guest all had a blast dancing all night. We are so thankful we booked Party Nation!

Kyle T

I'll first start by saying selecting the right band for our wedding was one of the most important components to our wedding, and I'm picky on this kind of stuff. Communicating wi...

th Party Nation before, leading up to and on wedding day was a breeze and stress free. Lisa and Dean both proactively got in touch with us to understand what we wanted. They handled everything from MC, introductions, processional, recessional, etc. Then the real reason we hired them. The MUSIC. They play a massively broad range, sound amazing, and have a stage presence that will blow you away. With that said, they still make you the center of attention. I can't recommend them enough. If the opportunity comes up again for a party and we need a band, this is it. People still asking for their info 4 months after the wedding.

Response from Party Nation

Thank you so much for your kind review!

Kate S

Why did guests have a blast at our wedding reception? Two words: Party Nation. Every stellar review you read of them is true. From our initial contact by email to the last note of ...

the last song, Dean and Lisa were exceptional. They were responsive to emails, accepting of songs we wanted them to play (and not play), and genuinely excited about working together. Dean called us to go over the pronunciation of our full names so he'd announce us flawlessly, and when we got off the phone, we couldn't wait for our wedding reception. That night, every expectation about song selection and talent and energy and FUN were exceeded. Our guests danced -- even the ones we never expected would dance! All night we heard, "This band is awesome!" "This band is incredible!" I never wanted the music to end. Lisa and Dean and the rest of the band put on the perfect show without making it seem like it was "their" show. They celebrated us, and we will forever be grateful for them and all they did to make the night wonderful! I recommend them 100%!

Party Nation made my wedding reception a blast!!!! I have not stopped receiving compliments on how much fun the reception was and that was due to the energy the band had. This band...

knows exactly what they are doing but listens to what you want (or don't want) and performs above and beyond. They got the crowd involved throughout the entire reception - during dinner they played dinner music with dancing in between each course and then vamped it up after dinner - my grandparents did not leave the dance floor once!! I would recommend this band to EVERYONE and ANYONE. If you want the "best wedding ever" compliments - you must have Party Nation.

Karin T

Party Nation is so high energy and fun that our guests were on the dance floor all night. They have an extensive selection of songs and work with you to create a "do not play" lis...

t and come up with songs that you want them to learn if they aren't already on the list. Patty from Party Nation is so down to earth and sweet to work with on top of being a great singer. We loved this band and apparently all of our guests did, too. A recently engaged couple who attended our wedding decided to book them for their upcoming wedding. That's a pretty good endorsement!

This band is amazing! Steve and Patty were very easy to work with and listened to all of our requests. We are still getting compliments about how great the band was!
