We had Ready in 10 at our wedding in September and we 1000% recommend them!! Sal was on point with the communication and super easy to work with, he made the process a lot less stressful. The band was AMAZING and the dance floor was packed the entire night. Our guests have been raving saying it was the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding.

We had ready in 10 at our wedding in November and couldn’t recommend them more!! Sal was super easy to communicate with, super accommodating and willing to learn songs. We had them for cocktail hour and reception and couldn’t be happier with the performance! Our guests loved them, we had a full dance floor all night, alll ages! Would pick them over again and again!

We could not recommend Ready in 10 enough! They were amazing and made our wedding day so special. Sal and the band were there from start to finish. From performing as we walked down the aisle all the way to the after party. Seriously, the best -- our friends are still talking about them!

When we saw Ready In 10 play at one of our close friends weddings we immediately knew we needed them to play at ours. We then saw them play at a 2nd close friends wedding and we were once again reminded that they are simply the best. No band can read a room quite like them. When our wedding day finally came Ready In 10 delivered in the most incredible way. First was of course the ceremony - absolutely flawless. Then it was time for the reception. The music played during the planned dances was perfect. You could feel the emotion in the room. Somehow things only got better from there. Ready In 10 started playing hit after hit and people could not stay off the floor. The guests were hanging on every word and dancing from start to finish. Ready In 10 brings the exact type of positive, inclusive energy that you want at your wedding. Months after our wedding people are still mentioning how incredible the music was. We strongly recommend Ready In 10. If you want the best music at your wedding look no further.

Sal and Ready in 10 were one of the most PERFECT parts of our wedding day. When I first saw them perform at my cousin's wedding about a year before mine, I knew we had to hire them as well! And from the moment I reached out, Sal was professional, kind, helpful and accommodating. They learned our First Dance song as well as other requests, they helped bring in strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then absolutely CRUSHED our wedding reception from start to finish, keeping the crowd involved and entertained. Sal also helped a lot with the flow of the night, and worked seamlessly with my planner and other vendors, who also all had a wonderful experience working with him and nothing but nice things to say. You can tell he really cares, and he and the group are super talented. I could not recommend them more. Thank you so much Sal and team!

I always knew I wanted Ready in 10 to play at my wedding so when the planning started, Sal was one of my first calls!
Ready in 10 recently played at our wedding in November. Having known this band for years, we were so excited to be able to have them play at the wedding. It is always nice to have friends be a part of your special day.
Not only did they learn a new song for our first dance (Stolen by Dashboard Confessional), they were so energetic and engaging that no one left the dance floor all night. When the night came to a close, everyone was begging for an encore. Our guests are still raving about the music from that night. Pat and I are so grateful that we were able to have the band as a part of our big day and we highly recommend them for any special moment in your lives!

Ready In 10 is the best! Sal is amazing to work with and is so accommodating. Every one of all ages was on the dance floor the entire night and all of our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was. Sal and the band even took the time to learn one of our favorite songs and surprised us by playing it during dinner. Ready In 10 was everything we could have ever wanted and more for our wedding. Cannot recommend them more!

Having Ready in 10 play at our wedding was by far the best decision we ever made!! I heard them play at a family wedding and immediately knew I wanted to book them for my wedding. They are so incredible to work with and they made every minute of our wedding so much fun. We simply can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a wedding band, this is the one!!

Booking Ready in 10 was the best decision of our wedding. We cannot thank the band enough for the lengths they went to to make our day perfect. I knew I was in good hands with Sal from day one and he did not disappoint. From the impeccable customized ceremony music, to the chill cocktail hour vibe, to the again customized first dances and then the amazing party atmosphere - we were so happy throughout, and our guests just raved over the music. Also, we had a pretty obscure duet for our first dance and they KILLED it! Killed all of it. Thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts. - Jillian and Rob.

If you’re looking for a wedding band, look no further… Ready in 10 is the best of the best. They truly brought the best vibes to our wedding and kept the party going all night long. They played a little bit of everything and all guests have been raving about them ever since. Sal was an absolute dream to work with and satisfied all our requests. They learned our special first dance song and performed it so well! They played all night long.. guitar and vocals throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and the full band during the reception. They don’t stop it’s just unbelievable! You cannot go wrong with hiring this band!! Best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process.

They truly made our wedding the biggest party ever - they were so easy to work with and played all of our requests no problem. They were all very professional as well. They really know how to read a room and play music that will get people dancing. The dance floor was packed all night long! Very highly recommend if music is important to you at your wedding. Thanks again Ready in 10!!

My family and I can’t say enough great things about Ready In 10! Our journey with them began in 2018 when my sister first hired them for her wedding. Since then, they’ve been a part of so many of our friends and families celebrations; we were thrilled to finally have them play at our wedding this year.
Sal’s easygoing nature and genuinely kind demeanor make him an absolute pleasure to work with during the planning process. The whole band is a powerhouse, effortlessly delivering hit after hit and keeping the dance floor packed all night long.
If you’re considering booking them, don’t hesitate for a second – you won’t be disappointed!

We hired Ready in 10 for our wedding in June and they were absolutely fantastic! Leading up to the wedding, Sal was a pleasure to work with and made the entire process seamless. He listened to all our requests and learned our first dance song, which was fantastic. At the wedding, from the moment they started playing, they never stopped, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed throughout the entire night. Their performance was incredibly entertaining and engaging, and they brought an undeniable fun factor to our wedding (especially singing a requested song with our Paster). Three months later, guests are still raving about how amazing the band was. Would highly recommend Ready in 10! They truly made our wedding an unforgettable night!

I cannot say enough positive things about this band. They performed the entirety of our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. Maybe I am biased because it was our ceremony, but it was the most fun I have ever had at a wedding. The dance floor was packed all night; our song, and our parents' respective songs were perfectly executed; the music played at our ceremony was also outstanding. I highly recommend Sal and the Band!

Ready in 10 deserves 100 billion trillion stars. A friend of ours had them play at their wedding and we remembered for years after that when it was time to plan our own wedding we needed them!! They are the only band we even considered and they did not disappoint. Our wedding was the absolute best night of our lives because of the amazing music. Sal was so great to work with and made all of my requests/dreams come true. The band even learned my dads favorite some specifically for our father daughter dance- my whole family cried. It ww one of the best moments of my life. I wish I could relive this night over and over but the pictures do a good job showing everyone on the dance floor the ENTIRE night. 3 months after our wedding and people still comment on how our wedding band was unbelievable. We cared the most about making our wedding fun, up beat, and keeping everyone on the dance floor and Ready in 10 was everything we could have ever wanted!

Ready in 10 really knows how to read a room and keep the party going all night long!

Sal and the entire Ready in 10 band were AMAZING! Ready in 10 played at our wedding in April 2024 for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Our guests have still be telling us how amazing the band was and requesting the playlist, which Sal and the band did themselves. I had some last minute song requests for the ceremony and reception and the band had no problem playing these songs for us. The dance floor was packed the whole night and the band really made our wedding extra special! Definitely hire them for your wedding if you want amazing music and a fun night!

The absolute best — not because I am biased as they performed for my daughter’s wedding last night, but they were fantastic. From the moment the party started to the last song Sal and the crew kept everyone in the floor with an amazing blend of songs to keep the older people dancing and the younglings partying all night !!! Truly in my 49 years of attending events Ready in 10 was flawless - Everyone in the band were friendly and cheerful to all the guests!!
Thank you again for such a memorable evening

Ready in 10 was the absolute best. Do not hesitate to book this band. Sal was incredibly easy to work with, did multiple check ins before the wedding, and everything day of ran like clock work! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night, at one point my husband I looked @ that tables and maybe 5 out of 120 people were out on the dance floor! Amazing band! 1000 out of 10.

Words can not express how truly great Ready in 10 was at our wedding. From the moment we met Sal, I knew we were in great hands. Sal was so easy to work with, checked in to make sure we were all set prior to the wedding multiple times and made our wedding a day we will never forget... At one point I looked at that tables and there were maybe 5 people sitting, the rest of the 120 were on the dance floor! Ready in 10 kept the party going to the very last song, even did an encore! Book Ready in 10 for your wedding, I promise, you will not regret it!!!

There is genuinely no better band for your wedding than Ready in 10. From the time you book to the day of your wedding, they go above and beyond. We've known Sal for a long time, so choosing Ready in 10 was a no brainer. We were so confident in their abilities that we booked them before we even booked our venue!! Sal helped us navigate the venues on our list that made the most sense with our vision due to their previous experiences playing at every venue. Throughout the entire planning process, they were incredibly responsive, considerate, and beyond helpful.
Fast forward to the wedding itself...they blew us and everyone away. So many reviews have already said this, but our friends and family continue to bring up how incredible the band was!! They play music for all audiences, they're so professional, and they have so much fun doing what they do. We had a very specific list of songs we wanted to be played throughout the night (outside of the obvious - 1st dance, father/daughter, mother/son, etc.). They played ALL of them, even going so far to specifically learn some for us. One song in particular resonated with the room so strongly, that our videographer, unprovoked, captured the entire song and sent it to us separately. They played from cocktail hour through our extended reception, and the party never stopped. Even while they were setting up while we took pictures in the empty ballroom, the keyboardist started playing so we would have something to dance to.
Pace of the night was very important to us and something we continuously stressed during our planning with Sal. Our goal was to minimize time off the dance floor as much as possible - we wanted everyone dancing all night! Sal made that a reality and even helped us with articulating these points further with our maître d'. He knew my husband played guitar, and surprised us and our guests by inviting him on stage!
Sal and the band have truly become like family over the years, and our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without them. Of all the wedding decisions we had to make, choosing Ready In 10 was the easiest, and by far, the best. Anyone that uses them is beyond lucky to have them! Run, don't walk to book them!

BOOK THEM IMMEDIATELY. I can’t say enough good things about Sal and the band. INCREDIBLE. Multiple guests separately told us that this was the best wedding band they had ever heard, and I literally had 3 friends reach out to me to get their information for their own weddings. Not only was the music fantastic and Sal really communicative, but he went above and beyond to give us an incredible experience. My family is a big music family and the whole band learned a song my dad wrote for my mom for their wedding years ago using his sheet music and performed it with him. It was unreal, and this was just one part of the night. Me and my husband are so excited to go see them in Long Beach where they perform for the public. I seriously cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for a live wedding band. WE LOVED THEM.

Ready in 10 was AMAZING at my wedding at the heritage club. I could not recommend them more! They were super easy to work with and were punctual, professional, and FUN day of. Everyone was talking about how great they were. They picked a great selection of music that worked for all ages. Everyone was on the dance floor. If you’re thinking about using Ready in 10, you should feel confident about your choice to book them asap.

I wish I could give 10 stars to this band! Sal from the beginning was super communicative, helpful and great to work with. When we originally reached out about our date, Sal gave us notice that someone else was interested in our date. I knew then this band was the real deal and highly sought after! We had our wedding in NYC in Dec '23 and MAN did they blow us away! Everything from the cocktail hour to the reception was on point. The songs they played truly matched the energy of the room and kept the part going all night (we would have danced all night with Ready in 10!. They listened to our specific requests and executed everything perfectly. They even added in some classic songs that weren't on their song original list. Ready in 10 blew us and our guests away; they create such an inviting, fun energy that lasts ALL night! We were so grateful to have play on our wedding day. Thank you again Ready in 10!!

Sal and the band were everything we could have ever hoped for. From our first interaction, through the planning process, the week of the wedding, and of course the big day; Sal was always so responsive and there to offer advice and suggestions! There were so many things we had to worry and stress about leading up to the big day, and not once did we stress about Ready in 10 or anything surrounding them.
Every single person at our wedding still talks about Ready in 10, and it’s been 4 months! We all danced the night away - all of the songs were so well performed and matched our vibe to a T.
This band was the nicest group of individuals I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. If you’re not having Ready in 10 at your wedding you’re doing something wrong.

We got SO many compliments that they were so great & already have referred them to other people. A very big thank you to Ready in 10 for the best wedding!!

From the moment we agreed to hire Ready in 10 for our wedding in September of 2023, Sal and his team were nothing less than extraordinary in their efforts to make our wedding day the best. Sal gets an A+++ for communication ahead of time. He truly made us feel like he cared about our day as much as we did.
The band and performance was out of this world. We have never seen a dance floor so crowded at any party before in our lives. From 70s disco to 2020s pop, Ready in 10 CRUSHED IT with performance and enthusiasm. There wasn’t so much as microphone feedback the entire night.
You know you made the right choice when 9 out of 10 of your guests tell you the same thing on your wedding night. “We had a great time. The band was AMAZING!”
One of our guests even called the following to hire Ready in 10 for a party that was 2 years away!
Thank you again to Ready in 10 for making our wedding the best night of our lives!

Ready in 10 was the first band we ever looked at but was out of our price range so we painfully looked for months for a band we liked as much for our price point. I was not budging on having a band it was one of the only things I wanted for a really long time, there came a point when we were only 8 months away from the wedding and a DJ looked like our only option. In comes Sal, who worked with us and saved our day. Sal was the easiest person I’ve ever talked to on a first phone call, he never felt like a stranger. He was always so calm and never made me stressed, he always had our back and everything under control. I’ve never met someone so cool and professional, on our wedding day it seemed as if he was in multiple places at once, he just floats. Sal was easily my most trusted vendor and having him at our wedding really did ease a lot of my stress, we had sudden changes minutes before certain parts of the day and he always just went with the flow and seemed so casual and cool about everything we threw at him. Everyone at my wedding said ready in 10 made them decide they needed a band at their future wedding, I also found out one of my bridesmen booked Sal to play his wedding at cocktail hour (not sure how I missed that because I was there! But I did) and he was so excited to get to see Sal again at our wedding and had nothing but amazing things to say about him. Having a band was super important to me and has been since I was little and Sal truly was like a knight in shining armor and was one of the only people who made everything from the get go easy. I love ready in 10, I love Sal, he feels like family to us, my wedding was in the day time and a lot of out of towners went outside to look at the water and hang out so my dance floor was pretty empty but the band played as if the room was packed, energy was always at max level, they even let my man of honor join them for brown eyed girl (an inside joke between a lot of our friends and us at the wedding) I could go on, I really could, I was let down by a lot of people on our wedding day and I can tell you Sal was not one of them, he and his band exceeded all expectations, you need this man at your wedding, worth every penny.

Ready In 10 performed at our wedding during our ceremony and reception on August 6th, 2023 at The Royalton Mansion, and this band deserves all the amazing accolades on The Knot it receives plus infinitely more!
My husband and I (then boyfriend at the time) first saw Ready In 10 perform at my close college friend's wedding the year before, and thought they were outstanding! What initially caught our attention was how in tune they were with their fellow band members and audience. The music they played wasn't rowdy or too loud at any given point, and intuitively knew when to play softer and more upbeat music. We felt they really read the room well and knew right away whenever we got married, we would highly consider them.
When my husband and I got engaged and it came to delving into the overwhelming, yet fun process of choosing our vendors, we researched a few other bands to compare, and all of the other ones weren't exactly what we were looking for. The other bands were impressive and had all these fancy orchestras with multiple backup singers and instruments, yet they lacked the intimate feel and organic quality of a small band. We also preferred this, given we were having a 120 guest wedding.
Being a six person group, they have so much to offer with their versatility to the point where they could easily pass for Bob Dylan or Bruno Mars, covering oldies and contemporary music across all genres. They got everyone up and dancing and organically felt out the crowd with their excellent rhythm and bravado.
When we had our first call with Sal, the band leader, to inquire about booking our wedding with them, he was so personable and professional when it came outlining the course of how the day would go, what would be included, and even arranged for a cellist as an addition to the ceremony instrumental portion.
He asked us about our specific taste in music and what we thought our family and guests would enjoy. He requested we fill out a simple questionnaire to have us elaborate on the reception's grand entrance order/songs, challah and wine honors, wedding toasts, cake cutting, special announcements, etc. He also answered every one of my lengthy emails regarding the first dance and other precise details. To this day, my good friend (who had gotten married the year before) and I are in agreement on how Ready In 10 was the easiest vendor to work with for both our weddings.
During our ceremony, the cellist and keyboardist played two songs, one for the processional and one for me. The first one was a Muse song and the other was "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls. They did an excellent job transitioning between the two songs before I walked down the aisle and made the ceremony seamless.
One aspect I cannot thank Sal and his band enough for, especially his lead female singer, is our quite unique first dance song. We chose a Swedish heavy metal band song, called, "Endlessly" and man, they duplicated those high pitched notes and the song's wicked guitar solo like nobody's business. I sent Sal a video of our choreography, so the band knew when to start. They triumphed and dominated it beyond belief on the actual day. It was euphorically surreal. The mother son and father daughter songs were well done. They also do a mean Horah.
We are eminently grateful to have had them at our once-in-a-lifetime event and it wouldn't have been as special or monumental without them. Our guests couldn't get over how fabulous they were! :D

Ready in 10 was our best wedding vendor decision hands down. First of all, our guests are still talking about them, and they nailed every single song. We had a special request for a song to walk down the aisle to and when I walked in and heard how beautiful it sounded I started to cry! I've seriously never seen my friends and family party harder than they did with this band. They even came onto the dance floor to party with us and it was so much fun. Our day would not have been what it was without them and we wish we could relive it! Huge shoutout to Sal for being the best at communication the whole time and really listening to what we wanted and nailing it! We love you guys! -Emily & Zack

Ready in 10 played at our friend’s wedding back in May of 2021. Fast forward to August 2023 where they played at our wedding because we loved them so much! We knew what a great time they were and that we needed them at ours! Sal was so easy to work with from day one, and made wedding planning less stressful. With our family being from Ireland, we asked Sal if they knew Galway Girl- he said “no, but we can learn it.” We were so thrilled they did because it was fantastic and made us so happy! We even had some Irish dancing! Two months later, our guests are still raving about how good the band was. The variety of music was perfect and everyone was on the dance floor having a great time. Ready in 10 was definitely a big highlight of our wedding and we could not be more pleased with how everything turned out! We highly recommend Ready in 10; you will not be disappointed!

This band exceeded our expectations!!! It’s day 3 since our wedding and people are STILL raving about them. Several of our guests even asked for their business card to use for their future events, or even just to see them perform live on a weekend night! They can sing any song—old and new—and hit any note—high or low, their repertoire has no limits! Many of our guests, including my husband and I, actually thought without looking at them but just dancing on the dance floor and listening to the band, that the original singer was actually present, that’s how good they are!
I know it’s hard as a bride when most bands don’t perform show cases these days, it must be a thing of the past. But based on some social media posts and their promotional video on their website, we were sold! What we saw on social media and on their website was consistent, but even more amazing in person. And Sal, the lead singer/owner of the band, was SO kind and genuine throughout the entire communication process and always hyping us up with excitement in every email we exchanged. And no matter what we asked Sal for, or even just inquired about, his responses were always about us and making us happy.
Having a band was definitely a priority for my husband and I. We put all our faith and trust in Sal and his band, Ready in 10, and they read the room perfectly throughout the whole night and catered to every generation/age group. We wish we could do it all over again just to dance the night away and hear them perform!

Ready In 10 was the best decision my wife and I made (besides saying yes to each other) for our wedding. Every time we ask someone their favorite part of the wedding they have all said the same thing, the band. They just never stop playing and they don't let the party die down. People kept commending us on our song choices and were shocked when we let them know it mostly just the band reading the room. The most complaints we received were that people couldn't go to the bathroom because they were too scared to miss the next song. We asked Sal if we could have a special request (going from a slow version to a fast version so everyone can join) for our wedding song and they nailed it. Ready In 10 will make the best day even better, we highly recommend them.

Ready in 10 is the best wedding band we could have hoped for, and they deserve every single 5 star review! Sal was an incredible communicator, and he and the entire band were professional, fun, and so talented. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Ending the night with an amazing cover of Bohemian Rhapsody was just the icing on the cake of an already perfect day. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Ready In 10 is INCREDIBLE! Our wedding was over a month ago and our guests are still talking about how absolutely amazing they were! They truly made the night unforgettable, not just for my husband and I but for every single person at our wedding.
Working with Sal was great! He is so easy to talk to and work with, and helped to ease a lot of the stress and anxiety that come along with planning a wedding! He helped plan out the order of events (first dance, parent dances, speeches, etc.) and it went off flawlessly the day of! I am so grateful for that!
The band kept the energy up and guests on the dance floor all night long!!! They knew exactly the music to get our guests out there and we had an absolute blast! Their cover of our wedding song was unreal! We couldn’t have asked for anything more special!
We LOVED working with them and couldn’t recommend them enough! They are the band you NEED for your wedding!!!🤩

Our wedding would not have been the same without Ready In 10! They really made our entire night by setting the tone early with our amazing entrance song that they learned and mastered on such short notice. They even made sure our friends and family enjoyed themselves just as much as we did! From the photos, I think it’s safe to say that even the band had a great time! I would recommend Ready In 10 to anyone that loves live music and having a great time!

Before I write this, I noticed that every review for Ready in 10 is 5 stars! Myself and my wife couldn't agree more and are happy to add another perfect review to this list.
Our wedding this August was a blast and full of love and energy; and I don't think it would have been the same without Ready in 10. Sal and the band are incredibly talented and versatile. Sal is fantastic to work with and the live energy is everything we could have hoped for.
The band has a number of talented singers who can keep the music going from the start of your ceremony all the way to the final minute of your reception! Most importantly - their musical range is fantastic and they will play the hits that will have the young people, the older people and everyone in between on the dance floor. So many people commented in the days after the wedding that they never felt like they were on their feet at a wedding as much as they were at ours and that was definitely possible through the spirit of our attendees and the magic of the band.
Weddings are tough and stressful to plan as we all know! But if you're looking for a band, just book Ready in 10 and know that you will have checked off a huge part of what will make your magical day such a success! Thank you so much Sal and Ready in 10 for everything!

Ready in 10 played our wedding this past June, and it was one of the best choices we made that day! They're absolutely incredible, and the energy they bring to the night is unmatched, not to mention they are just beyond talented. Sal also played beautiful acoustic versions of our favorite songs for our ceremony. We have received so many compliments about Ready in 10, and our guests were dancing all night. On top of that all, Sal is the kindest person and so amazing to work with. His love for music and what he does shines through the whole night. I wish we could repeat the night over and over to hear them play, but in the meantime we'll just show up to their numerous shows around the island.

"I've never been to a wedding where guests were storming the dance floor”… and I owe it all to Ready in 10. After reading reviews, realizing they often play at one of our favorite hometown bars and talking to Sal, there was no question that Ready in 10 was the best and only option for our wedding. Sal was able to answer any questions I had as an overwhelmed bride with confidence, give recommendations for ceremony song choices when I didn’t know where to start and didn’t hesitate to make adjustments to the timeline when I wanted a more non-traditional reception. I didn’t have to think twice that there was a single detail not already thought of. The span of genres and generations of songs they played was unbelievable and kept everyone engaged. I am almost 2 months out, 6/3/23, and guests are still talking about how amazing Ready in 10 was. I will forever recommend them to any and all brides for the best wedding day ever!

So hard to put into words how amazing this band is. It has been 3 months since our wedding and we still have guests coming up to us saying “that band!”. Ready In Ten was definitely a huge part of making our night as amazing as it was! I’ve known the band for many years and it was a no brainer when we got engaged that I wanted Ready In Ten to play. My now husband had heard of them and seen them briefly locally but didn’t know them like I did. Coming out of covid we went to see Sal sing at our local bar for one of the first nights back with live music. Before we went I said jokingly if we ever get married, we are hiring the band Sal plays in at the wedding, we weren’t even engaged yet, and after just a few songs, he said done! Once we did get engage and booked a venue/date, Ready In Ten was my next call. To say they were incredible is an understatement. The coordination leading up to the wedding day to the day of, Sal was so easy going and very accommodating. From the ceremony to the acoustic set during cocktail hour and the full reception, the band never stopped playing! There was always band members up playing and we didn’t have a sit-down dinner so there was no real down time. The variety of music was perfect and kept everyone on the dance floor all night; the set list still on our fridge! Very lucky that I can go out every so often locally and see them play!

Where to begin!? We've been to 2 previous weddings where Ready in 10 played, and we've been to a bunch of their summer gigs, so when it came time for preparing for our wedding, it was no question, Sal was the first and only call my (now) wife made. Ready in 10 made our night absolutely exceptional and we're still receiving comments about how incredible they were. Even had someone at our wedding who is having a wedding on the west coast ask Sal if he travels the country for weddings. Sal performed acoustic at our cocktail hour setting the perfect vibe. The entire crew brought a contagious level of energy during the reception and the dance floor was packed through the last song. There's a lot to look back on from our day, but the energy they brought, in large part to the awesome set list, was something else. Sal was a pleasure to work with leading up to our day. He was very patient, gave some very valuable suggestions and helped to accommodate our last minute entrance song change (which they had never played before) a week before the wedding. Ready in 10 know what they're doing and would HIGHLY recommend them for your special day. You won't be disappointed!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for the band. They were a HUGE hit and the dance floor was packed and fun the entire night. I have guests following up afterwards asking for their info because they enjoyed them so much. Sal was a pleasure working with leading up to the big day and crushed it on site. Everything along the way was enjoyable and easy. If you are looking for a band to bring fun, lovable energy for your party this band rocks. We valued music and entertainment so much for our wedding and Ready in 10 came through and more, I can't wait to see them again!

It’s been about a month since our wedding and our family and friends cannot stop taking about our wedding band, Ready in 10! Sal and the band did such an amazing job and kept the dance floor packed. Sal was one of our favorite vendors to work with, he is easygoing and truly loves what he does. Sal played acoustic for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the band played nonstop throughout the reception. We had a few songs that weren’t on the original set list, which the band learned for our day and absolutely crushed it. You cannot go wrong with choosing them for your wedding day!

Ready in 10 was such an integral part of our wedding day at the Riviera! My parents and husband really wanted a band instead of a DJ and I was happy to speak with Sal when he was recommended to us by our venue. Sal made the process very easy and seamless leading up to the big day. The energy the band brought to our event was priceless and countless people complimented the music and how the dance floor was never empty the whole night. I am also aware that the band is more reasonably priced than others out there. I highly, highly recommend choosing Ready in 10 for your wedding - you won't regret it!

I read most of the reviews for Ready In 10 before writing this hoping I would have something new to share, but honestly I just echo the sentiments of my fellow brides. I cannot explain how awesome Sal is to work with. He is warm and kind and funny and easygoing. All the things you could wish for in any vendor. He makes the process fun and enjoyable. He is supportive of your vision and offers great suggestions based on years of experience. He truly felt like our friend! Everything the night of was seamless. Sal performed the perfect songs for our ceremony, the cocktail hour music was great, all leading up to the absolute best party. The dance floor was packed, everyone was singing along, the energy and overall vibe was epic. The whole night was amazing, but Ready In 10 is what everyone is still talking about. My husband knew this was the band for us and as much as I hate to say it, he was right :) Dont hesitate or think twice about booking them. It will be the best decision you make.

We simply don’t know where to begin when describing Ready in 10.
They were easily the most exciting vendor to work with and they absolutely killed it for our wedding last year in November 2022. Our family and friends are still talking about how the band was the best part of the reception. Sal was so easy to work with and communicated with us start to finish. Our wedding had live music from the ceremony to the end of the reception with no interruptions.
One of our favorite parts about Ready in 10 is that you don’t have to worry about anything music related because they handle it all. They play a great mix of music for all ages and keep the party going all night long. Our crowd never stopped dancing throughout the night! We love them and can’t wait to see them perform again!
Our other favorite part is how classy they are. They all dress appropriately for the occasion and interact fantastically with all guests. They are so talented and are the perfect entertainment group for your special night.

If i could give 100 stars I would! Ready in 10 is so talented, fun, energetic and everything you would want in a wedding band. When planning our wedding we knew we wanted a band and not a DJ. When I came across Ready in 10 I knew they would be perfect for our event. From the first telephone conversation to the day of, Sal is helpful, organized and personable. He makes it all seamless and is accommodating depending on your needs. They kept the party dancing all night and I had guests complimenting how much they loved the band. The fact that they are also reasonably priced makes booking this band a no brainer! Thank you for the memories Ready in 10!

Ready In 10 is THE band for your wedding. They have an extensive repertoire of songs and each one is better then the next. No matter if it was AC/DC, Luke Bryan, or the Beatles the dance floor was filled. Sal was a pleasure work with and everything was seamless from start to finish. Plus, we are still getting compliments about the band months later. We are so happy to have booked Ready in 10 for our wedding!

Ready in 10 always brings the energy from start to finish, cocktail hour to the last dance. My now wife and I had been to 3 weddings prior to our own in which Ready in 10 played and every time we saw them we always talked about how we wanted them to play at our own wedding. They were the easiest and most accommodating vendor to work with throughout the whole wedding process. Sal helped to make sure everything was smooth sailing and the band delivered a tremendous night of fun. You cant go wrong with this group!

Ready in 10 is truly the best! They have now done three of our family weddings (the third being ours) and each time we are more and more in awe of them! Sal makes everything seamless from the initial phone call to the wedding day. Since the wedding, every time we see one of our family/friends who attended, the first thing they say is "THE BAND WAS AMAZING." Thank you for making our dreams come true and making it truly the best night ever. I wish I could get married again just so we can have another fun night with you all. Cheers- Kelly & Sean

Our wedding guests can't stop bragging about our band, Ready in 10. The amount of people that still come up to us to say "Best Wedding Ever" is incredible. We owe everything to Sal and the rest of the immensely talented band. The energy and atmosphere that they brought to our night was nothing short of spectacular. We are so lucky and grateful to have so many memories of every guest on the dance floor. When we first started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have great live music and Ready in 10 exceeded all expectations. Sal is incredibly thoughtful and kind and helped us with all of our song requests. We can't thank the band enough for delivering one of the best nights of our lives. We can't wait to find an excuse to use these guys again.

Getting Ready in 10 for our wedding was my husband's top priority and we are so incredibly grateful that we were able to book them. Ready in 10 had played both of his sister's weddings so we knew they were going to create an amazing atmosphere.
Sal was highly communicative, professional, and he went out of his way to learn our first dance song and build a setlist full of music that was special to our family and friends. Sal and the band provided live music for our entire event (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) and we felt worry free and in the hands of a professionals the entire time. At the reception, all of our guests, young and old, raved about the band's energy and the mix of songs they played which represented numerous generations. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we will never forget singing and dancing with our friends and family for hours. There is truly no way to replace the energy this band brings, they were absolutely incredible and I would give them 10 stars if I could!

These guys rock! Seriously! We’ve seen them at countless charities offering up their free services to rock the crowds, partying it up at the Inn in Long Beach, and even in Massapequa! The moment we heard them, when we first started dating 7 years ago, we knew they were the ones for our big day! Fast forward 7 years…Ready in 10 has been amazing from start to finish! Sal was great to work. Planning our wedding with him and the band was so easy! The live music keeps the dance floor packed and your guests go home raving about how good the band and music was. We still get compliments to this day. Here we are now almost 6mo later and I knew I had to wait to leave this review…I waited because I had to see how this band came out on our wedding video. Wow! Not only did they rock our wedding…they rocked our video too. All their music is playing in the background of our video and it sounds amazing. These guys are great for bars, backyard parties, block parties, weddings and more! I’d book them again in a heartbeat. Thanks Sal and ready in 10 for making our wedding unforgettable!
Love,

This is the band you need for your wedding!!! Ready in 10 is a class act! We booked them during Covid for our 11/11/22 wedding prior to seeing them play live, based on their videos and reviews. They did not disappoint. Sal and his band are so professional and made our wedding so outrageously fun. They can play anything and do it flawlessly! The dance floor was packed the entire night and our guests are still talking about them. We love Ready in 10!!! We will always be fans.

There are not enough good things to say about Ready in 10- but the biggest takeaway is that they are a MUST for your wedding band! From the first conversation we had with Sal about wedding music and a good flow to seeing one of their shows at a local bar we knew we were in for a treat! They were nothing but incredible, I don’t think one person sat down the entire reception!!! They play songs for everyone in the room, they were interactive with the crowd, they showed support in both music requests and suggestions….the list goes on! We got married over a month ago and still all anyone can talk about is how phenomenal this band is- I have given their contact info to countless people and can’t wait to find another reason to hire them for a celebration!!

We can’t recommend Ready In 10 enough. Nearly every person who came to our wedding have reached out to us to talk about how incredible the band was. They got us out on the floor at the beginning of the reception and didn’t let the energy drop for one second for the rest of the night. There wasn’t a single song on the set list that we would have replaced. Overall they were exactly what we hoped for and were a huge part of making our wedding a night we will remember and cherish forever.

AMAZING!! I knew I wanted this band from the beginning just from seeing them out and about but WOW! They know how to work a crowd! One of our friends ended up booking him for his wedding practically that night and people are still raving over a month later! Sal is so easy to communicate with and the band even learned our songs for all of our dances which were perfect! Definitely don’t hesitate booking them!
