Private Stock

Mark and the entire Private Stock Band were extremely easy to work with! They are very organized and everything went smoothly, from planning to the day of the wedding. Our guest are still talking about how GREAT the band was! If you are thinking of a band I’d highly recommend Private Stock!!!

Our wedding would not have been what it was without Private Stock! My family and I could not say enough good things about this incredible band. From opening the night by surprising me and singing my favorite song of ALL time (Rhiannon, by Fleetwood Mac) to ending the night with the entire reception joining in and singing Wagon Wheel… they made my wedding dreams come true! Private Stock is so personable and interactive with every guest at the reception and our dance floor was literally packed the entire night! It is truly impressive with how well they are able to feel the vibe of the crowd and know just when to play a mix of old music and new. We received so many compliments throughout the night on how incredible of a band they are and we are STILL receiving compliments and asking for their contact information to this day. Not only did the band do a fabulous job at entertaining everyone at the reception, Mark also could not have impressed us more with MC’ing the entire cocktail party and wedding reception! From day one of booking Private Stock, Mark and his team could not have made things anymore easier for us, from constructing a playlist to really helping us lay out our vision for the entire evening. They are so professional, full of energy, and made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout our entire wedding planning process. Private Stock is so dedicated and passionate about making your special night one that you will always remember. I cannot say enough good things about Private Stock and I could not imagine having had any other live band at our wedding other than them! Hands down, Private Stock made our entire night more magical than we could have ever dreamed of and we truly will never be able to thank them enough!

Private Stock played at our wedding in September! They are so so so much more than a band...they coordinated every aspect of the wedding. It all started by meeting with Mark prior to the wedding to customize the whole night, we talked about the ceremony, playlist, the bride/groom introductions etc. Mark has a sense of confidence, passion and experience for his work. He is a listener, and he understood how we saw the night going. The band seamlessly took/lead the (250 person) crowd from cocktail hour, to the ceremony, to the second cocktail hour, thru the dinner (we had buffet style so they dismissed each table)...they proceeded to kick off the speeches with kick-ass introductions for each speaker, those introductions were a surprise to us but it was crazy how they got the crowd involved - they played "tomahawk chop" before my father-in-law spoke. We did the first dance, father/daughter, mother/son dances...and from then on out the dance floor was full (I wish we would have had a bigger floor). The band had a way of gauging the crowd and keeping them involved. Whether it was the whole party rockin' out to "Wagon Wheel" or slowing it down with Lisa singing "At Last" (pretty sure my wife was in tears). I could go on and on about each song but overall it was impressive with how well they knew the pulse of the crowd. Finally, the band closed up the party and lead out my wife and I. They were the beat of the party, they were the reason that the transitions were clean. When you have a large crowd, you worry about "herding cattle" and progressing the night....that was all handled. Ultimately what I am trying to say is, Private Stock is more than a band. Looking back we cant picture that night without Private Stock. We can confidently say, it would have been a completely different wedding without them. Mark/Lisa and their team are truly professionals, this is not their first wedding/performance...and it is so worth it.

As a professional planner, it's always SO easy when I hire Private Stock...because they make me look like a hero to my clients. The crowds ALWAYS love them and they are such nice people! Filters for me: on time, appropriately dressed, no groupies, no drugs, no visible tats or piercings and the sound level makes people want to stay and not escape the decibels! However, the real "taste test" came when I hired them personally to do a tented party at my home. It had to be 100 degrees and they were totally "cool' with it. I can't wait to hire them again and again...and urge you to do so too! Total class act! Michael N.
