My son and his fiancé booked the Silver Arrow Band for their wedding. They chose the 6 piece band option. This band was top notch -and so professional. They played a great mix of songs and the dance floor was packed the whole night. Everyone who attended raved about the band. Highly recommend! 👏🏻

We reached out to Silver Arrow Band based on reviews from The Knot, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. After we inquired, Trevor reached out within the day to let us know they were available. Communicating with the band was the easiest of all our vendors. Silver Arrow dedicates one person (ours was Trevor) to be the point of contact. He was extremely attentive and provided us with all the information we needed. Their website is sophisticated and allows you to plan, add notes, pick songs, make payments, and review/sign contracts on your own time without waiting for a response from the band. They have an extremely wide range of abilities in respect to what they can play. Almost of all our requests could be accommodated. A week or so before the wedding, we had a call with Trevor and ironed out all of the tiniest details to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. Day of, the band set up extremely quickly and efficiently without interfering with any other vendor. The band did an incredible job and sounded fantastic. Even though it was extremely humid and uncomfortable outside, this didn't hinder their performance at all. They played most of the songs we had on our list. They stuck to the agreed upon timeline to the minute. They played all of our "musts" and fulfilled all special requests. They kept it up-beat and fun, which is the vibe we were going for. Our guests had so much fun dancing and singing along with the band. They couldn't say enough about how much they enjoyed the music. Big thank you to Trevor and the rest of the band!

Holy cannoli, Silver Arrow Band was just amazing... Before the wedding, they were easy to communicate with and plan our big day, and during the day of, they just showed up, and absolutely rocked it. So friendly. So talented. People have not stopped talking about the amazing job they did. We've been to a couple of weddings after ours... and the music just doesn't even compare. One of my close friends plays in a band in NYC and texted me after the wedding, saying "That band was f****** amazing. All wedding bands are super talented but idk where you found these guys cause they were on a whole different level. That girl who MC'ed and sang was a superstar." Highly recommended.

We hired the Silver Arrow Band for our wedding back in June and unfortunately were not thrilled with the outcome. First off, we created a list of songs we wanted played and were told they would be able to play most of them and then played only a few of them. Many of our guests also noticed them hanging around the bar area for long periods of time. They did not spend much time actually up on stage playing music. We had very high hopes for this band and are still left feeling very disappointed.
Vendor response 11/15/2022
Hi Arianna, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry that your experience was not what you h...
oped and I hope I can provide some context for your concerns. The band did play a number of your requests but I know you listed over 100 specific songs, which is far more than the band can perform on a typical event. They did learn a handful of new songs to accommodate your requests but it can be difficult to determine top requests from such a thorough list, so I'm sorry if the songs they chose were not your top preferences. The band was waiting by the bar area getting water as they were preparing to go on stage. As you know, the food service was delayed, which also delayed the band's start time, so the musicians ended up standing around for a bit longer than they planned. They also wanted to make sure they were ready to perform as soon as dinner service ended so there weren't any further schedule delays. I'm sorry if you would have preferred for them to wait in another room during that delay and I'm sure they would have been happy to do so had it been mentioned on the night. Regarding the time on stage, the band did perform the full 180 minutes they were scheduled for. There was an amazing sunset that night and many of the guests went outside to watch during part of the band's performance. The band stayed on schedule and I know some guests missed a part of the dance sets due to the sunset, so I'm sorry if that made it seem like they were not on stage for the full time. I hope this provides some helpful context. Wishing you all the best!

TLDR: the band was awesome, however, working with the Silver Arrow producer was a terrible experience. [For visibility - I've intentionally waited a month after our wedding to post a review to ensure it is objective and rationale.]
Silver Arrow assigns "producers" to an interested client - and that person is your main point of contact until the day of the wedding. In the beginning (before our deposit was made), our producer was communicative, friendly, and accessible. I was informed of a process that seemed great for our timeline and needs, which is not what we received at all.
About a month out from our wedding we received an automated email from the producer, which articulated a very different timeline than what we were told originally. In the email it indicated that a final call would be scheduled 5 - 8 days before the event to finalize all the details. Despite a few polite and professionally spaced emails and phone calls to the producer, I waited 3 weeks with radio silence before receiving an email that said: "We are giving 100% focus on the events directly in front of us and yours is coming up very soon." We didn't get a chance to connect with our producer until 5 days before our wedding to discuss the set list and special request (which they didn't have time to accommodate).
The musicians were wonderful and great performers - no complaint there. :) They ended up playing mostly their own set list, with a few songs from our lists of requests that were already in their repertoire. They stopped promptly at 8:45 and started packing up, even though our producer said he would ask them to play through till 9pm when our wedding ended (awkward!). Not surprising that didn't get communicated.
This is a hard review to write because these are incredibly difficult times we are living in - that goes without saying. Given that we are all navigating challenges in our personal lives due to the pandemic, I would hope for more transparency in a professional context around communication timelines and asking for help if it's needed. Radio silence for weeks on end is unprofessional in any context, but especially painful in the context of planning an important event - it was incredibly stressful to say the least. Our entire experience working with the producer lacked professionalism, didn't inspire trust or confidence, and presented false expectations of the way we could collaborate with the band. I'm grateful the musicians themselves were friendly, talented, and put on a great show - but I would not work with Silver Arrow again.
Vendor response 10/17/2022
Hi Ashley, Thank you for your kind compliments of the musicians! The band is all very tale...
nted and I know they loved performing on your event. That said, I'm very sorry for any communication delays leading up to your event, especially for any that lead to issues on the event. Our goal is always a 48 hour response time but clearly this did not happen for your event. 2021 was quite a hectic year for us with all the rescheduling and illness cancellations which lead to much more complicated events, so thank you for recognizing that. With so many unpredictable factors changing on events up until the last minute, from timelines to venue restrictions and musician availability, there were a few months where we had to adjust our normal processes and focus on events one week at a time in an effort to give each couple the most seamless experience possible at the time. This was not ideal for us or for our clients and, on top of that, it sounds like the communication you received was particularly delayed and I apologize for that. We are very happy to be back to normal operations now. Again, I'm sorry that this was your experience and we wish you all the best!

Silver Arrow Band is absolutely PHENOMENAL! From the planning process to the wedding day, we cannot say enough positive things about Silver Arrow. The music at our ceremony and cocktail hour were lovely and the reception was truly remarkable. Our dance floor was packed the entire night without a single break in the action! Garrett, our producer (and phenomenal lead singer/guitarist), helped us curate a perfect playlist that captured our vibe as a couple. Our guests haven't stopped raving about the band! We would recommend Silver Arrow a million times over to any couple!

Silver Arrow Band was incredible! We had them at our July 2021 wedding in Newport and they were the talk of the night! Their music was wonderful, and they kept the crowd dancing all night. Garrett was so awesome and helpful in the planning of our night, and they learned and played all of our special songs for the night. We can't recommend them enough. Thank you Silver Arrow Band, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you!

We could not have asked for a better band and day for our wedding. Prior to the wedding the band made it incredibly easy to communicate and set everything up and they were amazing throughout the entire night.
We had seen them at 2 other weddings prior to ours, and the Silver Arrow Band has outperformed expectations all 3 events that I have been at with them. Thank you so much to the band and We highly recommend them to anyone in the area who wants a live, rocking experience for their wedding.

What a great band! All my guests loved them, and they did such a great job at my wedding. They even learned the song that my father wanted for father-bride dance because they didn't know it! It was awesome to have them, and having a live band that was good really made the difference.

They turned up at this mountain location ON TIME, Ready to set up. ALL SET within the time frame requested (so as to not interfere with the ceremony).
The music was SPOT on, fun everyone danced from the youngest to the oldest among us. We had so much fun and then when complete they were gone and did not disrupt while packing up.
THE BEST band I have ever hired BY FAR!!!! Stop your search and BOOK EM'....

We had Silver Arrow Band play at our recent October wedding. The band was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dan from SAB for making our ceremony and reception so amazing. You took all our requests and even played a few songs similarly to Post Modern Jukebox (one of our favorite bands).
Dan did the sound system during our ceremony, which was a hugh relief. During the cocktail hour we had a trio play, which was lovely. The reception was amazing and SAB had people dancing all night long! Extremely taalented musicians!! Highly recommend SAB!

I even threw a last minute change the night before - and sure enough they ran with it and nailed it! Can’t say anything but positive things about this group. Highly recommend!

We had a back and (front yard) wedding with the Silver Arrow Band, and we literally could not be happier with how everything went. Both my wife and I love live music, and can be critical if the band is a bit off. These guys were killer. They had a great mix of tunes that literally kept the dance floor full THE ENTIRE NIGHT. Their energy was 110%, and they were incredibly interactive with the crowd. At one point, my dad ended up playing some guitar with the band, and the flower girl requested to sing a song as well, which was not in the plan! We had the band MC our wedding party and reception, and also play during the ceremony. It was the perfect touch, and went off without a hitch. These guys are incredibly receptive to making sure its what YOU want on the big day. We had high expectations from hearing and reading reviews from these guys, and they literally blew them out of the water. Lastly starting rates for Silver Arrow Band were shockingly low compared to the other local acts. It is no exaggeration when we say they helped make our day that much more special, and one heck of a party!

My husband and I selected Silver Arrow to play at our 09.29.18 wedding in Hudson, New York. We were a bit nervous about the idea of hiring a band without seeing them play in person. But after watching enough YouTube videos, we decided to go for it. I'm so happy that we did. We hired Silver Arrow to play piano during our outdoor ceremony, jazz trio during our cocktail hour, and as a five-piece band during the reception. All of the musicians were incredibly talented. Many of our guests said that Silver Arrow was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. The band even accommodated playing a special version of our first dance song. Thank you for sharing your talents with us on our wedding day!

Silver Arrow Band MADE our wedding day!!! My husband and I cannot stop talking about what a great time we had thanks to them. Our friends and family keep telling us what a great time they had too!
We really wanted our wedding to be a huge dance party, and Silver Arrow Band delivered! Everyone was on the dance floor at one point, and the dance floor was packed for the ENTIRE reception. They played the exact right kind of music, and a great variety. The energy was so high all night, I didn’t want my wedding to end.
Liz was so easy to work with. Using the webpage she sent us to fill in our likes, dislikes, special songs, and timeline made it so simple. When we talked the week of the wedding on the phone to nail things down, we just had to run through everything, and she asked more specific questions about genres and specific songs we wanted/did not want played.
In addition to playing the right music, the musicians themselves were so talented! They learned an acoustic version of “Everlong” by Foo Fighters for our first dance and it was everything we could have wanted.
The band was super fun, and we’re so cool and let one of my coworkers play the tambourine!
I feel like I cannot give the band the review they deserve! They really made my wedding everything! 100% would recommend booking Silver Arrow Band!

They we amazing! Sounded great for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and rehearsal. Our whole ceremony started late so everything was kind of pushed back except we were ending at the same time, so they didn't take all their breaks so they played the same amount of time as if it started on time (did that without us asking). They learned our songs, had great choice of music, very prepared, and easy to work with. If you book them, you will not regret it.

I cannot rave enough about Silver Arrow Band! From the moment we first heard them play at Drom, we knew we were in the best hands! We dealt with Andy, who was super nice and informative. He was organized and very quick to answer emails! He was very accommodating to every request and last-minute changes we had! The 9-piece band we hired was truly worth every penny! We also had them MC for us, and they did a spectacular job! We trusted them to pick whatever music they felt was the best for our day, and they truly exceeded our expectations! They had a nice array of songs that everyone could dance to! The dance floor was PACKED all night! It's been a month since our wedding, and we are STILL getting compliments on the band! You are in the best hands with Silver Arrow!

If you are looking to hire a band for your wedding day, Silver Arrow Band is where its at! From the beginning of our planning process to the end, they were very responsive and easy to work with! From the acoustic guitar & keyboard duet during our ceremony, to the jazz trio during cocktail hour, to the 6 band member performance during our reception was spectacular! My husband & I as well as most of our guests were on the dance floor most of the evening and a bunch of our guests asked who the band was at the end of the night! Each musician was so talented! THANK YOU AGAIN!

I am not going to lie. I was NERVOUS about using a managed band to play our wedding. But oh boy was that a pointless stress to think about in the end. The band was PHENOMENAL. The ceremony string players were something that just happened without my having to even think about it, the band itself was professional, well timed, FUN and got everyone up (even my father and mother in law which I did not think would happen). They played something for everyone and kept the night moving. My husband is a big dancer, and let's just say he got his steps in.

Talk about a Saturday that Kate and I couldn’t possibly ever forget! For the better part of six months now, I have been bugging Drae with every question imaginable, always to get a timely, reassuring and professional response. The entire musical performance exceeded any expectations we may have had; the volume was perfect, the musical mix was ACES, the MC’ing was perfection, BOTH vocalists should be signed to record deals, and we felt like we were part of the band throughout the night. Thank you for turning the greatest day of our lives into a memory that won’t ever fade.

We are so happy that we went with Silver Arrow Band for our wedding! Our goal was to make sure that this wedding was a party and an event that all of our guests enjoyed and it definitely starts and ends with some good live music! Everyone was on their feet the entire night and we still hear how awesome the band was! Andrae was also extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning as well. Every time I was worried about the timeline, he helped me work through it to make sure the night would go perfect. And we are so thankful that it actually was PERFECT. This band makes for an awesome wedding and I would highly recommend them!

Since seeing Silver Arrow Band at a NYC showcase we knew we wanted them to be a part of our big day. They were so accommodating throughout the booking and planning process, it couldn’t have gone smoother from there. Dre does an amazing job coordinating all of the moving pieces and guiding you through every step of the process: it’s extremely clear what information they need from you, and how you can ensure they’re providing the right vibe for your reception. On the day of, everything was executed perfectly, and from the moment the band started people were non-stop on the dance floor with a great blend of our must-have songs and sing-along party hits for all ages. Hands down the best-sounding band we’ve ever seen at a wedding.

Silver Arrow Band was awesome! Liz was a pleasure to work with and so responsive and attentive. We booked them a year and a half in advance and went to multiple showcases and I had many questions, additions and changes throughout the planning process and she was always there with a prompt reply and accommodated all of our special requests! She gave great advice on the timing and the set list and took all of our direction. The band arrived on time, the set-up was seamless and professional and the band was full of energy and had our wedding rocking all night long. Having a live singer for our ceremony and musical instruments at our cocktail hour really made a difference and I am so glad we decided to add that. Silver Arrow is great about accommodating your schedule and your requests and they don’t gouge you on the price! Justin was an awesome MC and made us all feel comfortable and had a great presence with the crowd. Would highly recommend!

Guests are still asking us about our band and they had an amazing time on the dance floor because of them. If you're looking for a band that can play all types of genres and one that won't blow your budget, you have to inquire with Silver Arrow Band!

Words can simply not explain how amazing this band is. EVERYONE was on the dance floor the whole night. We still have people telling us how amazing they are. From classic hits to Biggie, the range of music they played was outstanding, pleasing guests of all ages. No one wanted them to stop! Andre was a pleasure to work with - he even ended up adding an extra horn (free of charge), supplying us with a 9-piece band. I honestly could not recommend them enough.

Book Silver Arrow Band!!! When planning our wedding we knew we wanted live music instead of a DJ but it was way harder than we thought to find a great band that is also affordable. Silver Arrow Band seemed way too good to be true, but they delivered and then some! I feel like Thai and all the band members really noted what our tastes were and what we wanted from ceremony music to cocktail hour to the awesome reception, rather than putting on the same sets for each event. I got SO many compliments from guests from the event, everyone had an awesome time. I can’t recommend them enough!!

The best! A fantastic experience from start to finish. Band members and management were both very professional and a joy to work with. The band had my entire wedding party on their feet from the minute they picked up their instruments right up to the minute of our venue's curfew, leaving our party chanting for "one more song!" I specifically remember the day after the wedding, running into family and friends in the hotel, most of which has some level of rasp in their voice from singing along with the band the preious night. Four weeks later and my guests are still raving about the Silver Arrow Band. I would recommend them to anyone looking to make a lasting musical impression on their wedding day. 💯

The Silver Arrow Band is THE BEST! Not only did they put on an unbelievable performance, they were a dream to work with!
My husband and I planned and executed 90% of the ceremony and reception details, and by the time the month of the wedding came around, we were pretty stressed and burnt out. I spoke with Neil multiple times during the last few weeks, and he was wonderful.
He gave me great advice, steered me in the right direction, and reassured me all along the way. I truly felt that I had his full help, and support, for the big day.
The band nailed it all; ceremony, reception, reading the crown, toasts, dances, etc. A live band was a bit of a splurge for us, and it was worth EVERY penny! Literally every guest raved about them - we couldn't have asked for more!

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars, because Silver Arrow Band is AMAZING!!! I had just a five piece band but you would never know it! The sound was incredible. I can only imagine what a full band would sound like. THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! From start to finish, the process was seamless and easy. Andy was super responsive and accommodating, especially when I added on some last minute services. I left the "set list" up to their discretion, and they knocked it out of the park!! People were up dancing the entire night, which is exactly what I wanted. I hired Silver Arrow Band without seeing them in person, just listening to the music on their website and watching some videos. You can be confident choosing them based solely on their reviews. They are THAT good. Thank you Andy and team for making our day the best that it could be!

The Silver Arrow Band absolutely killed it at our wedding. I think we got as many compliments on the band as we did on every other element of our wedding put together.
The band stuck with all our ideas, sequenced as per all our timing and curated a set list that was absolutely perfect for our taste of music! I was down in the bridal suite below the dance floor and it sounded like the building was going to collapse from the dancing and jumping. I have to be honest one of the best moments I’ve ever seen at any wedding was the completely packed crowded dance floor booing the band for needing to take a break because the guests didn’t want the crazy dance party to stop for even one second. The band was back in record time and kept the party going through the very last second of the night.
The band team was so easy to work with. Web tools are set up to make sure everything went off without a hitch and the band coordinator Andrew, was a delight to work with. From the beautifully executed piano solo during the ceremony, to the lively trio during the cocktail hour through the roof shaking non-stop all out party that was the reception we literally could not have dreamed up a better performance at every turn. The amount of times that we heard “the band!!!” “This is the best wedding band I’ve ever seen!” “This band is amazing!” is countless. People will be talking about our wedding for years and it’s in LARGE part to the Silver Arrow Band!!!

We used the Silver Arrow Band for our September 2018 wedding and they were amazing! We had a two piece violin/piano for the ceremony and a jazz trio for cocktail hour and the music was beautiful. For our first dances our musical choices were very specific songs that are not mainstream and the band was able to execute them flawlessly. For our reception we provided Silver Arrow with a detailed list of the types of music and songs that we like (2000s punk rock for the bride and house music for the groom). The band was able to play everything from Fallout Boy to Calvin Harris and included all types of music that kept everyone dancing all night! Our guests of all ages enjoyed the performance, Silver Arrow made it a wonderful night!

Our guests CANNOT stop talking about how amazing the Silver Arrow Band was at our wedding. A month later we are still hearing stories of guests who didn’t go to the bathroom all night because they kept telling themselves “when the first bad song comes on I’ll go”... and they truly never played a single song that failed to get everyone moving. Dre helped to make the process seamless from the ceremony through reception: we didn’t have a coordinator to help us orchestrate the day-of flow, but the band needed NO prompting after our initial phone call, and they handled it all from the procession to bridal party intros.
My husband is a musician, so he was skeptical and critical with any potential band, but Silver Arrow Band exceeded his expectations- and at an amazing price!!!

Silver Arrow Band was fantastic. We had seen them perform at our friend's wedding a few years prior and as soon as we got engaged we knew we wanted them for our own wedding!
Andrew was great to work with and made the planning pieces really seamless. Silver Arrow does a fantastic job of providing guidance on how to schedule your day and plan the music around it.
The day of was also great, the band was incredible and so much fun, and the band leader for the day was so nice and happy. The handful of times we needed to chat with him during the day to confirm timing he was an absolute pleasure.
Finally, omg the music was fantastic. They did such a great job and the dance floor was completely packed all night. We had so much fun and would book them again in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!!!

I can't say enough positive things about Silver Arrow Band. They were a dream to work with, from the initial inquiry and booking process up through the night of our wedding. Our main point of contact, Zahyia, was incredibly friendly, helpful, organized, and thorough, and made me feel comfortable and confident leading up to our wedding day. They have a really handy client page that you can use to input your wedding day timeline and other details (like music likes/dislikes and MC details, should you choose to use their MC services...which I'd recommend!). This was super helpful to ensure we (the couple) and the band were on the same page about all of the details. On the day of the wedding, the band NAILED it. They were fun, personable, and SO incredibly talented, and had everyone dancing all night. Many guests have since told us that Silver Arrow was the best wedding band they'd ever experienced...and we'd agree. :) I really can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Silver Arrow, for an incredible, memorable evening!

If Silver Arrow Band is available then BOOK them!! They provided a string quartet for our outdoor ceremony, jazz trio for cocktail hour and the best reception band I've ever heard. The compliments from our guests have not stopped pouring in. They're attention to the atmosphere and mood was on point and we danced the night away! I've never seen a band so engaging in all the right ways. Highly recommend and worth every penny!

They were awesome!! The planning process was so easy and everyone we communicated with was professional. They played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They kept the dance floor packed! So much energy throughout the night. Even our musician friends were raving about how awesome they were! We are so happy that we decided to go with them. They helped to make it a fun-filled night to remember. Thank you!

Silver Arrow Band was definitely the highlight of our wedding. Simply put, the band members killed it. They read the room and without any direction from us with incredible precision predicted the perfect song to keep the dance party going. No one sat down the entire wedding. Dre was also amazing in the months leading up to the wedding, immediately responding to any questions and only reaching out to us on an as needed basis. We are extremely grateful for the professionalism and sheer talent from this band. I will (and already have) recommended the band to many engaged couples. Music is very important to me and I couldn’t be more thrilled with your band. Thank you doesn’t cut it. You guys rocked!!!

My husband and I booked the Silver Arrow Band for our wedding in August 2018 and they were absolutely amazing! We saw them at one of their showcases in the East Village and instantly knew they were the band for us once we saw how versatile they were. We had fairly specific requests and they were easily able to accommodate all of them. Andy was very attentive throughout the whole preparation process and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. I love that you could choose the size of the band based on your needs and budget. We had decided on 11 pieces and each and every band member was outstanding. They also offer several different payment options which we found to be unique and extremely helpful. The energy they brought to our wedding was incredible and our dance floor was packed (I mean PACKED) the entire night. They read the crowd perfectly and were absolutely flawless. Our guests still can’t get over how amazing they were, and neither can we. If you’re considering hiring them for your wedding don’t even hesitate, you will not be disappointed!

I have to be completely honest, I had my mind set on another band that I had experienced at a friend's CT wedding several years ago. When they were unavailable for booking for our 9/15/18 Gold Coast mansion Long Island wedding, let me just tell you, I had set the bar pretty high in my mind for our wedding band.
After researching online, reading the reviews (which every bride drives herself crazy with!), as well as asking people for recommendations, my now-husband and I hit up DROM for a SAB showcase. Let me tell you, two songs in, we were hooked! They were ridiculously amazing and the Best Man that was with us at the showcase said we just lit up dancing in our seats to the multi-piece band.
Trying to get a response initially was a little bit of a headache (it was wedding season after all), as we were quite persistent, as we didn't want to lose them to another couple for our date, but once we connected with Andrew, things were 110% smooth. We went with an 11-piece band (insane!) and the online form was a great feature, as it allowed me to update it with information for our special dances months in advance and have our planner, Leah Weinberg of Color Pop Events, upload the day-of timeline to them directly. We had a fantastic call with Andrew the week of the wedding and they certainly delivered the night of. I've heard our cocktail pianist was lovely (didn't quite make it into that room ourselves!), but the band and our female MC (who does a KILLER Tina Turner!!) were nothing but amazing from 9:30 pm – 12:15 am. People were always on the dance floor and they just played the most amazing mix of songs that everyone knew.
Thank you, Andrew & and Silver Arrow Band musicians for an incredible night that I will never forget... as I made a point to be on the dance floor as much as possible and you allowed me to do just that!

Best. Band. Ever!! Got married in September at Regatta Place in Newport, RI and had Silver Arrow there to lead the night. They set the vibe, MC'ed the masses throughout the evening flawlessly and delivered big in keeping the energy going all night long! I worked with Neil behind the scenes to get all of the details organized, who was great in helping me outline all the transitions and our individual details of the must have songs and the do not play songs.
My husband and I went to see them play in Providence a year before the wedding and they had so many talented musicians. It was a little nerve wracking not knowing exactly what members would be playing your event until right before the big day but we were lucky enough to get James and Xenia and both were powerhouse singers and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They even learned our favorite 80s song to get the whole crowd out on the floor.
They are professional, friendly, easy to work with and incredibly talented. I think we could have spent way way more and not gotten as nearly good a deal as we did with Silver Arrow. You really can't go wrong! Book them while you can. They were the number one thing we heard endless compliments about from our wedding - and several friends getting married in the near future are already looking to work with them. You won't regret it!

INCREDIBLE! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My husband and I really wanted a band that would get people up and dancing and were so incredibly happy with how the night went. The Band knew just what songs to play when and used what we had shared to make the sets feel like they were made just for us. Not only were the vocals amazing, the instruments were incredible and sounded so good. We got so many compliments from people telling us how impressed they were and how much fun they had dancing. Silver Arrow Band was definitely one of the best parts of my wedding and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to dance the night away!

Amazing!!
I cannot day enough great things about the Silver Arrow Band!
I hired them for my wedding and they were awesome. From step one in the planning process the contact person was so helpful, informative, and positive! His confident and timely communication set my mind totally at ease about the day of. They have a planning page online which let me express all of my needs and wants to them directly.
Also, they have showcase performances regularly so you can go check them out! The showcase helped me to decide how many musicians I wanted to include in the band, since you can choose how big or small you want the band to be.
On the wedding day they were so great!
Cocktail hour music was perfect and low key jazz.
Then the reception!!! They were so great! Thank goodness we had an extra large dance floor because everyone, and I mean everyone, was dancing the entire time!!!!!! Which is exactly what I wanted. They played the perfect mix of music and read the crowd correctly to know which direction to take the tunes.
I couldn’t be happier with their service from day one, to the day of.

Amazing - one word for the Silver Arrow Band. From the initial conversation to our wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding and we were completely confident that the Silver Arrow Band would be the perfect fit. Planning details with Neil was a breeze, he was extremely helpful, patient and thorough. The band went above and beyond day of, helping organize the bridal party entrances and rocking the crowd with their unbelievable talent. We were absolutely blown away. We can't thank the band enough for making our day perfect and unforgettable. If you are looking for a fun, talented, diverse and affordable band - look no further. Hope to dance the night away at other weddings/events with you guys soon (can we just do it all again?!)! THANK YOU!

Overall we were very pleased with the band. Our main POC was Liz who was very responsive and organized. For the band, I actually would have given them 5 stars if I was just rating them on their actual performance. However there were a few issues the day of that I feel I cannot ignore:
-They did not play the correct mash up for our first dance song. I sent Liz the exact MP3 that I wanted played weeks beforehand and was assured they would play it for us. Instead they just played our 2 first dance songs one after another (instead of the mash up which was a shortened version of both songs put together). Because of this we had a significant amount of extra time for our first dance and had to pause awkwardly while we waited for the second song to start. They were also supposed to let the second song finish playing so our guests could come join us on the dancefloor, but instead they cut off the music as soon as our dance ended. I gave Liz specific instructions for this and we were therefore very disappointed, especially since my husband and I started working on our first dance months ahead of time and had a professional dance teacher choreograph and teach it to us and we really wanted it to be perfect :/
-For the hora, I had sent Liz a youtube video of the song I wanted played (along with Hava Nagila, so 2 songs for the hora) but instead they just played hava nagila on a loop for 15 minutes. It was fine and not a big deal but would've been nice to have a bit of variety.
-During dinner service, there was zero music at all. Liz had told me beforehand that during dinner they would play light jazz music, however they did not and therefore it was extremely quiet during dinner and felt like being in a cafeteria. They also took a significant break during dinner service. I asked our wedding coordinator to go ask the band to start playing again (by this I meant just play jazz music like they were supposed to) since it felt like we were paying them for nothing. However they started playing motown music while people were still eating, and therefore they played a lot of our favorite songs and yet no one was dancing because people were still eating.
Aside from that, the band was really great. They had amazing voices and once dinner was over people got up and started dancing and tons of our guests commented on how fantastic the band was. They also stayed 15 minutes late so we could continue to use their speakers while we searched for the hotels speakers to continue the after party. I would still recommend them, however be 100% sure any little details are worked out beforehand.

Hiring the Silver Arrow Band for our wedding was by far the best decision we made in our wedding planning process.
How we came across them initially was actually really funny--we had booked a different band through Gigmasters, but something got mixed up in the booking system and we ended up not getting that other band for our wedding date.
Fast forward a few weeks--I'm scrolling through Instagram one morning before getting out of bed, and I saw a sponsored ad for Silver Arrow Band in my feed. I thought it was funny that I got a band advertisement on Instagram, but I figured I'd check them out since we were still looking around for one.
After poking around their website for a few minutes, I was floored. They were exactly what we were looking for in terms of quality and the type of music they played for weddings. I contacted them right away; Andrew (their manager) got back to me within that day or so, and we were able to secure our date right away (without requiring a hefty deposit on the spot.)
We did have to decide pretty quickly though in order to officially keep our date, so we made sure we weren't acting too impulsively. Andrew sent me SO much information about how to go about selecting a wedding band in general--he even said that they might not be the right fit for us, so it would be important for us to go see them live before committing to them. His complete transparency throughout the booking process was really refreshing--we knew we could trust them right off the bat.
One of Andrew's suggestions was that we go see them live before officially hiring them, and since we live in NYC, we went to one of their live Tuesday night performances at Drom in the East Village. They were (of course) incredible, so we felt very confident that we were booking the perfect group.
Leading up to the wedding, Andrew provided us with a form for us to fill out online so that we could share our likes and dislikes with them, as well as the general schedule of our wedding day. My husband and I love all sorts of music, so we weren't very specific with the band on what to and what not to play, but it was nice to give them some level of insight as to what type of night we were looking for. When we spoke on the phone with Andrew a few days leading up to the wedding, we were able to really get each other on the same page regarding what we wanted.
The day of, we were able to completely relax knowing that they were taking care of everything. They even threw in a small jazz ensemble to play for our cocktail hour (FOR FREE) since those musicians were also in the band, so that was a huge perk. At the reception, they were SO good that our friends couldn't stay seated--they filled the dance floor within minutes and had to be told to sit down so that the reception could officially start! It was so amazing to see everyone having a blast, and that it wasn't forced whatsoever. There was such a contagious energy to the room, and it made our reception feel so much more like a fantastic party instead of a typical wedding reception.
I couldn't say enough about the Silver Arrow Band. You won't find this quality and expertise and professionalism for a better price. I would hire them over and over and over again.

Honestly the best band and a great value! I was a bit hesitant to book a band where I wouldn’t be able to see them play in advance (destination wedding), but I figured “how bad could they be?” Many of my friends were spending close to double for their wedding bands, which also made me think I was possible going the wrong route. NOPE! They absolutely killed it. Now my one regret is not getting a dancefloor double in size. Everyone danced the night away because the band was so incredibly talented! Book them now :)

Let me start by saying, our wedding was actually P E R F E C T. And let me then say, Silver Arrow Band was a HUGE part in why it was so perfect. They crushed it. From our initial conversation, to the closing of the night, and every little detail in between, every thing was so well managed. They listened to our random requests and answered every question, they helped us work through tricky situations with power sources and other technical problems, and they did everything with patience and kindness. All of those were just bonuses because their performance was so spectacular!! Literally a perfect score. They took the songs I requested, added in some of their own after reading the crowd, and literally kept the party alive the entire evening. Every generation of guests got on that dance floor. The little kids, all the way to the grand parents. EVERY ONE DANCED! And had SO MUCH FUN. Thank you Silver Arrow Band for making our wedding a night we will never forget!

The SAB was the perfect band for our outdoor lake wedding. The band manager was so very helpful, the wedding website was a great idea to keep things organized, and the day of the group was so flexible and did a great job! Everyone loved the sound and danced the whole night. I would recommend them to anyone! It was also very convenient because they played all the way from my ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Having one group to work with made it easy. Book them and you will not be disappointed!

The most fun, talented band. If you want your guests dancing all night long, hire this band! My in-laws even said they've never danced so much at a wedding. We hired this band without viewing/listening to a performance, we relied solely on online reviews, and we're SO glad we did. Don't hesitate, hire Silver Arrow!

Silver Arrow Band really couldn't have done a better job at our wedding. We had them just for the reception, and to be totally honest, hadn't heard them play at all before booking so we were only going by the samples on their website. They 100% lived up to the recordings! They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and threw in some really surprises, like a remix of the Thong Song?! Totally unexpected and super fun :) Thai, who guided us through the whole process, was so low key and easy to work with. He offered really helpful advice while letting our reception be unique and exactly what we wanted. Beyond all that, it was a great value -- really wonderful quality and experience for the best price we saw. I'd highly recommend them!

Silver Arrow Band exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The planning stage was laid back, relaxing, and was extremely easy. Neil took care of all of our needs, even relaying messages and plans directly to our wedding planner. We saw Silver Arrow Band perform a few times before but were not ready for the unreal performance they put on for our wedding day. They performed custom songs we requested by learning them the week before. They kept the dance floor full the entire night. The ceremony performance with Violin and Keyboard, the cocktail hour jazz quartet, coupled with the ten piece band made our night truly special and we could not be more grateful for their efforts.

So the price is overwhelming - if you are looking into this band and that is what is holding you back, DONT LET IT. I thought my folks were going to kill me when I told them what I paid. But, they MADE our wedding reception. I would hire them over and over again - they are all very professional and I definitely feel like it is worth the price. The only guest that didn't like them was my 89 year old grandmother, lol. We only had a guest list of 80 people, and half of them were on the dance floor. The singer we got was Jess Novak and she was amazing. I plan on buying her albums! And hope to catch some of her live shows in the future.

We had a really good experience with Silver Arrow Band! We worked primiarily with Thai, who is super friendly, communicative, and helpful! We loved that you could organize the day on a personalized band page, where we could make comments and song preferences in a centralized place. We also loved that they were willing to learn "our song" for us without any extra charges. Thai was also great to talk to about how the day would be run and what sorts of instruments would best fit the kind of vibe we were going for.
Regarding the actual music, we loved our ceremony musician (piano)! For the reception, we had the full band, which was so fun! The band was so great at keeping the energy of the room up, and my guests said they had the best time dancing!! Thank you to Thai and all of the musicians of Silver Arrow!!

I am a pretty laid back planner but detailed and organized. Throughout the planning process I never felt pressured or overwhelmed with questions or updates on our venue, timelines, etc. About a week before I squared up the remaining details, which was perfect because honestly a lot of those small details only come together as you get closer to your wedding day. On our wedding day we were approached by one of the band leaders to go over timeline, introductions, wedding songs to make it was all perfect, and it was! My family and friends LOVED Silver Arrow. Now weeks later after our wedding we are still getting compliments on how well the band was and how much fun our guests had.

"Simply. Amazing. All of it. All of you.
I am so grateful to have had the world’s best band and most kind and fun people. I can’t express my gratitude more. "
That's what I shared with Andrew (and our band members) right after our wedding. When people on their review boards write that they didn't leave the dance floor - believe them - same case with me and the guests at our wedding. Everyone was so impressed not only with the selection of the music but the vibe of every single band member.
I emailed at 11:30pm the night before asking to make sure "Africa" by Toto was played for my brother and me. With such last notice, I expected the iPod song but halfway through the entire band jumped in from their break and finished it with their live pipes and sounds. Like what?! It was so awesome. What an unforgettable day they made for us!
The Silver Arrow Band made the day and I can't wait to host another event to dance to their tunes once again.
<3s to the most rad musicians there are!

Worth every penny. The band was so talented and worked so well together. They provided the perfect vibe for what we were trying to accomplish. We told them the type of music we liked and let them roll with it and play what they saw fit, and it couldn't have gone better. Having great live music was really important to us and they certainly delivered- played all night and had everyone dancing and enjoying the party.
