People Who Could Fly is a wedding music service based out of Phoenix, AZ. This talented group boasts a successful music career. They have taken to the stage alongside celebrities like Train, Flo Rida, Weezer, and Rick Springfield. The band centers their sound around Top 40 hits. Their setlists cover the best of the best from multiple decades.
These skilled musicians have an exciting and engaging stage presence. Their decision to play well-known tracks allows them to easily connect with audiences. Guests can sing their lungs out while pulling their best moves on the dance floor. People Who Could Fly appeals to multiple generations, making them an ideal wedding band. From golden oldies to modern-day classics, their performances are jam-packed with great music. They can start off slow with some Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond before kicking things up a notch with Duran Duran and Bruno Mars.
These professional entertainers know it takes more than talent to wow an audience. Their bookings include sound equipment, lighting, and more to create an exciting atmosphere. MC services help to keep guests in the loop throughout the evening. The team also arranges a DJ to take over during breaks, so the dancing doesn't have to stop when the band does. Wireless microphones are provided for speeches and toasts earlier in the day. People Who Could Fly are available from the ceremony to the reception. They can serenade loved ones with classical guitar before turning up the volume for the main event.

We booked People Who Could Fly for our late March wedding at the Hotel Valley Ho about a year out. James was extremely professional from initial inquiry to the day before performin...
g. He answered all of our questions and even learned my mom's favorite song for our wedding. The band brought more energy than I could've imagined, and the dance floor was never empty! They played songs from the 70s to modern day, and the setlist was so dynamic to the energy of the party. Our guests RAVED about People Who Could Fly all night and even days later asked where we found them. I couldn't recommend James and his band more -- if you're looking for a wedding band, you must book People Who Could Fly!!!

We had the absolute pleasure of having People Who Could Fly perform at our wedding, and they truly made our celebration unforgettable! From the moment they started playing, the ene...
rgy in the room was electric. The band’s ability to read the crowd and create the perfect atmosphere throughout the evening was unmatched.
Their professionalism was top-notch from start to finish. The variety of music they performed was fantastic, with something for everyone—from romantic ballads during dinner to upbeat dance tunes that kept everyone on their feet all night long.
Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how amazing the band was, and we couldn’t agree more. People Who Could Fly was the highlight of our wedding, and we are so grateful for the memories they helped create. If you're looking for a wedding band that will bring energy, talent, and a fun vibe to your special day, look no further. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with the band. James was very communicative via email regarding what we were looking for, what they could offer throughout the day (acoustic ins...
trumental pre-ceremony music, acoustic duo during cocktail hour, full band for reception) and also would handle DJ-ing for any recorded music (such as the ceremony music) that we sent him.
They played a wide variety of great covers from the 60s through today. They also graciously offered to learn a couple covers that we wanted to hear (Phish's "First Tube" and LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends") and they did a great job with both of them.
As an amateur musician myself, and as someone that goes to a LOT of concerts, this band is top notch and professional. They have a 4th member of the band who manages their sound and checks the mix/levels from different spots around the venue, which is awesome.
My wedding guests were also very impressed with the band I heard quite a few of them remark about it more than once.
If I was going to throw a party of any type, wedding or otherwise, I'd hire PWCF in a heartbeat.
Thanks for helping make our special day rock!

People Who Could Fly was the perfect band for our wedding! Don’t let the fact that they’re a 3-piece fool you—they have a full, dynamic sound and a great set list to complement it!...
We asked them to just feel out the crowd and play what felt like it was hitting and they delivered fully. Everything from the ceremony all the way through the night was perfect. Communication was easy throughout planing and I can’t even count the number of compliments we got on the band from our guests!

I hired PWCF to play my wedding and to simply put it, they killed it. James was fantastic to plan with and hash out all the details of the big day, but it's the whole band's vibe a...
nd personalities that crushed our reception. PWCF was the hit of our wedding! Everyone was talking about them, the dance floor was always filled with more people than we imagined, and their catalog of songs was unbelievable. My wife and I will continue to see PWCF when they're in town at bars and will forever recommend them to everyone we meet. I can confidently say that People Who Could Fly was the reason our wedding reception was as fantastic as it was! I honestly cannot thank these guys enough for being as great as they were.

Great group for our house/lawn party!
The neighbors loved this band. They were on time, professional, creative and got the crowd going. They quickly set up their sound & lighting, ...
were engaging with the people on the water, took requests and identified what the "feel' of their audience was! We thought they were the best out of the past 5 entertainers we had recently invited over! Great music and way to bring together the neighborhood! THANKS
