Denny and the entire Mirage band blew us out of the water! From our first contact, to our wedding night, they exceeded our expectations. A friend recommended that we use them for o...
ur wedding and we are thrilled we listened to that advice!
We were able to listen to a private band practice with a few selected songs and it was the most fun and romantic date night. We were so impressed that we secured them for our wedding that night! If you are questioning where to allocate your funds for your special day, please choose Mirage!
We were able to customize their set list and have input, which was not always the case with bands in the area.
This was one of our most communicative vendors, something cherished by all brides!
We hired Mirage for our June 2025 wedding at Union Station. They also provided sound tech support at the Jewel Box for our ceremony. They were fantastic. Denny was extremely person...
able and easy to work with. No gimmicks, very professional, and nothing got in the way of the ceremony/reception. The female lead singer was an especially remarkable vocalist, and we'll remember her rendition of ‘At Last’ opening the dance floor for the rest of our lives!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect band for our wedding ceremony. Their music was beautiful, heartfelt, and set exactly the right tone for such a special moment. From the ve...
ry first note, everything felt calm, emotional, and truly meaningful.
They were professional, easy to work with, and clearly experienced with weddings. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony music was. We’re incredibly grateful for the atmosphere they created and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something special and memorable for their big day.
Mirage was a pleasure to work with, the planing and preparation stage was made as smooth as possible. The day was made easy, music was never something we had to worry about.
Having Mirage provide music for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made! They helped make our day perfect! We hired their string quartet for our ceremony, a jazz comb...
o for the cocktail hour and their full band for our dance party! Each group was so good!!! Denny was so easy to work with. He was kind, patient, offered suggestions and was prompt with all of his communications. We never felt pressured by him. Instead, we were totally at ease knowing that everything was going to run smoothly. Mirage also served as the emcee for our dinner and reception and they interacted with our guests in such a fun-but professional way! I highly recommend Mirage for anyone wanting to hire elite musicians who can provide music for every part of their wedding day!
We spoke with several bands and ultimately chose Mirage, and we couldn’t be happier. They were professional and easy to work with, and Denny was great in helping us with song s...

alism that put us at ease. Their team was not only incredibly talented but also a true joy to work with, making the planning process enjoyable and stress-free.
Their assistance in selecting the perfect music for each moment of the event was invaluable. They took the time to understand our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that truly resonated with us and our guests. The atmosphere they created was magical, enhancing the entire experience and ensuring our daughter’s special day was unforgettable.
We wholeheartedly recommend Mirage Entertainment and will undoubtedly turn to them for any future celebrations. Their dedication and passion for what they do shine through, and we can’t thank them enough for contributing to such a memorable occasion!
Denny and team at Mirage are INCREDIBLE!! Don’t even think twice - just book them!! They are easy to talk to, kind, and respond quickly! (They were also super understanding and ada...
ptive as I changed my song selections a few times). Our guests are still raving about the violinist. We are excited to work with Mirage again in the future.

We could not have been happier with Mirage Entertainment, they truly made our wedding day unforgettable. From start to finish, the band was a dream to work with and went above and ...
beyond to customize the music for our special day. Denny was incredibly easy to coordinate with and made the planning process seamless. We began with a beautiful string quartet in the church, and Ann and her group were fabulous. We then transitioned to piano for cocktail hour, had Ragedy Ann perform during dinner, and finished with the full band for dancing. They even learned new songs for us, and there truly was no challenge they could not handle. One of the most special moments of the night was ending with “God Bless the USA,” and there was not a dry eye in the house. We were married on my husband’s family farm that has been in his family for five generations, and the band truly lit up the day. We cannot recommend Mirage Entertainment highly enough.
Mirage is absolutely the best. They have performed at the Great Forest Park Balloon Race party for the last 15 years. They play a wide variety of music. By 9 PM they have everyone ...
up dancing or surrounding the stage to listen to them perform. We’ve already booked them for 2026. Mirage is an important part of our event.
Without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our daughter and son-in-law’s July wedding was to hire Mirage! Denny was wonderful to work with and helped us with so many de...
tails and even served as the MC. In addition to outstanding communication, the music was just incredible! Mirage is one of those fill the dance floor type of bands. We had so much fun at the reception and received numerous compliments on the band. A favorite moment at the end of the reception was when they played “Piano Man” with the bride and the groom in the center of a sing along, that memory will not be soon forgotten. I wish I could give them more than five stars! You will not regret hiring Mirage for your wedding reception. Professional, talented and AMAZING…Mirage will do a first class job!
Mirage is an amazing band. They were the driving force behind the fun vibe we were looking for. So many people were dancing the dance floor was packed with people having a great ...
time. Denny and his team were so easy to deal with and great communicators, which made my life so much easier during the stresses of planning an event for so many people. I highly recommend them and I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again soon.
I can't recommend Mirage more!! We switched to a band last minute in the wedding planning process and it may have been the best decision we had!! They were nothing but friendly, pr...
ofessional and fun. They also let me live my dream of singing Sweet Caroline at my wedding which was priceless!! Thank you for contributing to an amazing wedding!

Mirage was the perfect addition to our reception! There is nothing that compares to a live band and they got the guests dancing right from the first song. They had a perfect mix of...
upbeat and slow songs. We were able to make requests ahead of time for specific songs we wanted to be heard.
We went back and forth between a few wedding bands, but we are SO happy we picked Mirage! Our guests kept complementing the music, and we wished we could have danced all night! A l...
ive band truly brings something special to your reception and Mirage brings their A-Game. Not to mention, working with Lou and Darren was super easy and it felt like a personal friendship on the night of our wedding. I hope to see them play at another wedding soon or will definitely say "hi" if our paths cross again! Thank you, Mirage, for being so wonderful!
The best money we spent! They were phenomenal. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and they really paid attention to the type of music we were wanting. They were organized...
yet flexible, fun yet professional - the perfect balance in every way. Multiple friends asked me for their information after the wedding, so they are sure to be booked! Get your date while you still can! Thank you, Mirage!
AMAZING! Loved working with Lou and Darren. They made the day so special and so personable. If we could use them again we would.
Mirage Entertainment was excellent. Their crowd engagement was perfect. They are extremely professional, easy to work with, and a great time. On our calls ahead of our Big Day, the...

This Band was INCREDIBLE! It's been 3 months and my guests are still messaging me about what a great time they had and how awesome the band was. They got everyone on the dance floo...
r and they have an instinct for reading a room that cannot be beat. My best bridal tip would be to budget for Mirage and then your venue, caterer, and dress--they were that good!
Mirage was great to work with! They provided their repertoire list and we customized their playlist to suit the style of our friends and family. They even learned a few songs to ...
personalize our event. When the event came, they literally blew us away with the full sound of their 9-piece band! They kept people of all ages out on the dance floor all night. They were the perfect group for our party!
The band was absolutely incredible. They had the guests up and dancing all night long. Countless people told us they were sore the next day from dancing all night long. They played...
a great spread of music to keep everyone interested. Would highly recommend upgrading to the horn selection. That added an extra flare to the music.
Simply OUTSTANDING!! Seriously…the BEST band for ANY event. They are so versatile and play with passion. You know they are AWESOME when most of your guests stay to the very end ...
and ask for one more song!! I strongly recommend you book the full band with horns. Well worth the investment. Truly great musicians with love for music and people. So easy to work with and plan your event. BOOK THEM! You will be thrilled! Thank you Mirage!

We had Mirage band for our wedding on 05-29-21. If I could give more than five stars I would! Mirage was the best! I think every bride is fearful that guests will be bored and not ...
dance. From the minute I first talked with the band, I knew this would not be the case and I was right! All of our guests danced and sang the night away and even chanted, "One more song!" at the end of the night. Mirage was easy to communicate with and listened to what was important to me. They even did a special tribute song to my grandmother who made it down from Chicago for our special day. Mirage was professional, kind and turned our reception into one heck of a party. We loved you guys! Can't thank you enough for a great night!
The Mirage Entertainment is absolutely AMAZING. All of you future brides out there, RUN right now to book them !!! You will not regret it! They had the dance floor packed all nigh...

So happy with our choice and would book again in a heartbeat.
Mirage was the live band that played at my sisters wedding a few years ago, so my family and I knew what to expect, but my fiancé and his family did not. We had such a great time d...
ancing all night and everyone loved this band. We received so many compliments about Mirage by our family and friends!
Mirage learned how to play our first dance song live and it was beautiful. They play old and new music live, and they also played 90s and 2000s music during the breaks which was great because it was songs we heard growing up. We would definitely recommend them if you're looking for a fun live band for your wedding! They also have a song list online incase you're wondering what kind of music they play.
Mirage was absolutely amazing! They are incredibly talented and the lead singer’s voice is a force of nature. They had our guests dancing the ENTIRE night and when it was time to s...
hut down, my guests kept chanting “one more song” (to which they played two fabulous more songs!). If you are thinking about having them as your wedding band, believe me, you will not regret it. Our wedding was a blast thanks to them! When I see wedding guests for the first time since my wedding, they were still praising Mirage as “top 3 wedding bands I have ever seen.” They also were incredibly accommodating to our wedding schedule and song selections. Our first dance song had a very particular melody & lead in and we wanted them to stick with that and they played it right on the beat so we could feel confident in our first dance. I can’t thank them enough for bringing our wedding to life. 1000% would recommend!
Mirage did a fantastic job with the music for our wedding. They also did a great job of keeping everything on track during the event. Planning was easy, and they were very flexible...
with a couple last minute changes.
Mirage is hands down the best wedding band in St. Louis!!! We had changed our wedding plans on them 3 times- thanks Covid- and they rolled with all the punches! In all the planning...
stages, they were very responsive and helpful, ensuring they had all the necessary details. Setting up for the reception, the venue changed their plans of where to set up. Yet again, they rolled with the punches! (we al liked the new spot better anyways) Their music was incredible! The lead singers can SING! They knew what songs to play when and how to interact appropriately with the guests during songs. They let our friend play a song on the drums too, which was great. Mirage made our wedding receptions absolutely perfect. 100% recommend!!!
(They have also played at my brother and sister's weddings!)
From our first interaction to the last dance, Lou, Darren, and the entire band made the process seamless. Their experience was recognizable from the start as they guided us through...
the process, answered all of our questions, and gave recommendations that made our wedding unforgettable. The band arrived early to set up, the stage was organized and the lights added great ambiance. We requested a keyboardist for the wedding, a jazz ensemble for the cocktail hour, and the 8-piece band for the reception. We chose 2 songs for the band to learn, provided a list of songs to play, and the band filled in the blanks. Darren is a great MC, directing the flow of the reception and he really knows how to read the crowd.
Mirage is filled with extremely talented musicians- we still have friends and family asking about them! We cannot thank Mirage entertainment enough, we would recommend them to everyone and our day would not have been the same without them!
FABULOUS!!!! They are the BEST! No regrets! I have received so many compliments on how great the band was! Everyone was dancing all night! We had Brett a pianist play personally re...
quested songs during the ceremony, Jazz played during the cocktail hour, and the 9 person band during the reception! Communication is a big deal for me, and they were fantastic! Highly recommend!
Mirage was a fantastic band! Everyone I spoke to after the reception couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were, we all loved them. Thanks for doing our reception and making...
it amazing. Your band is something we will never forget.

I love live music so knew I wanted a band but didn't know where to start. I submitted a request through WeddingWire for bands and got a lot of groups reaching out to me. It was a l...
ittle overwhelming. However, Mirage clearly stood out quickly. They're very professional and super helpful. I talked to the group a few times and they knew exactly how to make my wedding come together. They gave me ideas on songs for the ceremony, music for the cocktail hour, and tips on how to make the reception even better. My whole group was on the dance floor throughout the night. They even let my dad perform a couple songs with them. I couldn't have asked for a better band and planning experience. Very well priced and worth every penny.
Mirage is the best wedding band in St. Louis! They were so easy to work with, very thorough, and always accommodating. They were the highlight of our reception. They got everyone o...
ut on the dance floor and they stayed on the dance floor the entire night. So many of our guests commented on how they were the best wedding band they have ever heard. Our guests loved the live music and the talented musicians. I can not recommend Mirage enough! They were absolutely spectacular and everything I could’ve hoped for in a wedding band.
Mirage was a great band! We thought they were really affordable and provided great entertainment all night long, making our wedding reception more fun than we ever could have imagi...
ned. They are very responsive and met every request we asked for. We highly recommend!
Mirage was the highlight of the night. My guests danced the night away! We recommend them to anyone looking to have a night they’ll never forget!

Everyone at our wedding raved about the band. They were professional, very responsive, and very accommodating. We had the best time!
We are using Mirage for the third time this a November. If you have friends who love to dance to a variety of fun music, this is the band for you. They are wonderful to work with ...
and will make your wedding or other event a true celebration. We can cut corners on other aspects of our weddings, but would never do without Mirage.
At one point in time in the early summer, my fiancé and I considered cancelling our big wedding in St. Louis and trying to put together a destination wedding in Florida for just ou...
r family. We talked with each of our vendors to gain their perspective of what our reception would look like if we were to continue with our original plans. Of the numerous vendors that we had booked (and they were all very helpful), Mirage Entertainment provided the most insight and help with talking through the change in plans going forward. Once our minds were made up, we didn't look back and thank goodness for that, it was a wonderful evening.
We even threw the band a curveball (notice the baseball reference as we are both HUGE Cards' fans) and asked them to learn a different first dance song three weeks before our wedding day. I was told, "don't worry about it, we got this." And they sure did! (Virtual hug to all members of Mirage!)
We often joked that it would be hard to social distance at our reception as our family and friends LOVE to dance! It did help a bit as we unfortunately could not have all the guests that had planned to attend, but they understood......thank you dear friends! After dinner, it was three hours of nonstop dancing, which is exactly what we wanted.
I could go on, but by now, I think you get the idea that we were overwhelmingly ecstatic with Mirage, not only their performance, but for being by our side through the 'nerve racking' times.
We are already talking about holding a one-year anniversary party next year and invite EVERYONE from our original guest list. And you can bet, Mirage will be part of that fun.
Great to work with and went above and beyond to learn our songs!
I am so glad that I booked Mirage for our upcoming wedding! They truly go above and beyond for their clients. I especially enjoyed getting to go to a private showcase last winter t...
o hear them play and talk to the band. They have had excellent communication, very professional, willing to accommodate a unique time frame, and will be traveling out of state to play for my wedding. Wedding planning is stressful, even more so dealing with planning during a pandemic- Mirage has been one of the few vendors that has been completely stress free through all of this! I am so excited to have them be apart of our big day!
Truly, choosing Mirage for our wedding band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning they were so easy to work with, relaxed and so profession...
al. It made the planning stress-free and fun! We didn't follow a typical timeline; not only were they happy to accommodate they didn't miss a beat on the day of the event! They learned several songs just for us including our first dance song (a specific version too which was soo special) and also a special song to surprise my in-laws who were celebrating their 51st wedding anniversary the exact same day. It was such a special memory, thanks to Mirage. Once the formal dances were finished, they got right to work and truly got EVERYONE up and dancing! Our photographer ended up staying late just to capture it!! They truly made our day so special and memorable. People still talk about our wedding day, and remember it as one fun party - this is in huge part to Mirage. Thank you guys again - you all know how to party!
One word describes this band....... WOW! Given the set of circumstances we were faced with altering our wedding plans due to the pandemic, Darren and Lou went above and beyond to ...
help guide us through something we never envisioned being faced with. While our guest list was essentially cut in half, that didn't stop us from having the times of our lives. Hands down, Mirage was the highlight of our evening
Excellent band! Very professional. Loved that they took care of the emcee duties as well. Very entertaining. We received many compliments for our band choice.
We couldn't have asked for a better band at our wedding. Mirage had the dancefloor rocking all night long. They are professional, very easy to work with, and can even learn special...
