Skyline Drive Orchestra

isappoint. They sounded fantastic, were very professional, played multiple genres of music and there were many compliments on how great the band was. Thanks you Mitch and Skyline Drive Orchestra, you certainly made our wedding memorable.

h every penny!

d me that we would still have the best band in town. He was not wrong. Skyline Drive Orchestra completely blew us away, and had literally 9 out of 10 of our guests asking us who they were and how they could book them for their next event. They were out in the crowd singing with us, sharing the mic, dancing; and it really was something special. The few requests I had (because they were spot on with what they were playing from start to end) were met immediately and were SO good. I really can't say enough good things about them and would highly recommend for any couples, you will not regret it.

main POC, Mitch, answered every question I had sent them over the time leading up to our wedding almost immediately and had great communication. About a week before the wedding he called me to verify all details and even at the venue worked seamlessly with the staff to make sure everyone was on the same page. We received so many compliments of how great a party the band kept going. We had about 150 people and had a 7 piece band that was reasonably priced and a keyboardist for background music at our cocktail hour. Even during dinner there wasn't a moment without background music. Could not have been more pleased. My dad who also was a musician agreed they sounded tremendous. I don't think you will find much better in New Jersey for their variety of music, customer service, and pricing.

arned a few special songs for me that made the night that much more special. Thank you Skyline Drive so much for giving me the wedding of my dreams!

dance floor was full the ENTIRE night and every single guest was gushing over the band. We had so many other couples ask us to forward their information so they could book them for their own weddings. I seriously can’t recommend them highly enough.

se choices to walk down the aisle, and the way the party was HOPPING in the reception. SDO was incredible and I cannot thank you all enough for the awesome tunes, professionalism, and expertise, and peace of mind knowing my guests were well entertained Truly appreciate it!!!

th Mitch to book the band and finalize the details. Mitch is a 'salt of the earth' type of person. He is kind, approachable and honest. His transparency immediately put me and my fiancé at ease, and his enthusiasm got us excited about the band and our big day! When the day finally came, Skyline Drive Orchestra DELIVERED. Oh man did they deliver! To start, every person in that band is clearly an expert at their craft. The horns brought the energy and played off of one another - which was so much fun to see! The vocalists interacted with the audience and hit notes that literally caused a few dancers to stop and stare in awe. Everyone in the band brought an energy that kept guests out of their seats and on the dancefloor! It's already been a week since the wedding and I'm still getting texts from friends and family about how great the band was! Skyline Drive Orchestra also expertly managed the flow of the evening. The band transitioned between energetic songs that got everyone on their feet and more relaxed, romantic tunes. They also filled the time between takes (e.g., dinner, dessert) with lovely background music for guests to enjoy. I truly can't thank them enough for such a wonderful evening! Seriously people, book this band.

on the dance floor for literally the entire night (seriously- the floor was never empty). Their lead singers are outstanding and their horn section is something special! They have a great assortment of music that satisfies all ages of people. I am so glad to have had them at our wedding and I would book them again in a heartbeat!

to have them at our wedding! Mitch and his team were so professional and added so much to the wedding of our dreams! Mitch is extremely responsive to all questions and really gave us the royal treatment as far as music. The band was very engaging and kept everyone on their feet the whole night! They played a whole array of genres that had all of our guests moving and grooving. If you're between a band and DJ, look no further than the gang at S.D.O.! They will not disappoint. Guests have told us this was the best band they had ever heard; truly remarkable!

fter seeing them perform at that wedding, my now mother-in-law hired them for our wedding and of course we were thrilled!! On the day of our wedding, they were more amazing than I remembered. Our guests loved the diverse mix of music: current, oldies, everything in between. Even my grandmom (who says she hates weddings and all the fuss) loved the music and was on the dance floor! Honestly, the music was SO good, it was so hard to leave the dance floor! We wanted to go around to each table to greet our guests but they were all on the dance floor! Everyone was up and dancing (and especially loved the sax). My now brother-in-law was Mr. Twinkle Toes, which is sooo uncharacteristic of him! It was great to see everyone have a great time, and all thanks to an amazing wedding soundtrack and fabulous singers! The members of the band were great to work with all throughout the entire process. Mitchell was always quick to reply to my emails and answer my questions, and Doug was very attentive to us during the wedding, including asking us if the music was too loud during dinner (so thoughtful!) Hands down would recommend Sky Line Drive Orchestra for anyone’s wedding. Great energy, great musicians, great singers, great time!!

energy that a live band will bring to your celebration, and this group is absolutely unmatched in their class. The breadth of their talent—the diverse range of vocals, exemplary instrumental capability, and sincere passion—allowed them to keep the party going all night long! Whether young or old, classic or contemporary in taste—every guest was enthralled and left with a lasting impression that this was some of the greatest musical entertainment they had ever experienced (and they continued to say so for weeks). Those who like to dance had to be herded away; those who don’t typically dance, got out there and did so anyway! In short—if you have a pulse, you will love this performance. Planning a wedding can get stressful—after meeting Mitch and seeing the group’s sample, we knew that we would never have to worry about the music, and that was a great comfort. From the moment we walked into the cocktail hour to hear the piano serenade, through the final number and a full dance floor hours later, we were continually impressed by how much Skyline Drive Orchestra had exceeded our already high expectations. My only hope is that we will see them again at a wedding in the future—hire them for yours, it will be the most important vendor decision you make!

ldn't get people off the dance floor. At one point, I just looked over at my new husband and we both mouthed in utter amazement "JAZZ FLUTE?!?!" because the saxophonist also kills it on the flute. It was such an unforgettable party. I also loved working with Mitch, he was just so nice and accommodating. We were out-of-state, so his willingness to meet with us at our venue helped a lot. If you are on the edge about booking, get off!! Don't deprive yourself and your guests of The Skyline Drive Orchestra ;)

until the very end. My husband and I work in the music industry and had musicians and promoters in attendance who all agreed that this was the best wedding band they had ever heard. I would recommend them to everyone and hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our reception so memorable!

night and really got the party going on the dance floor. The band also learned a song at our request for our first dance, which meant a lot to me. All of our guests keep telling us how much they loved Skyline Drive at our wedding. If you want your wedding to be a really fun dance party, look no further than these guys.

ered! Mitch was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. We always felt like we were in good hands. Would definitely recommend this band to everyone!!

entire evening as we grooved to hit after hit. We had a 9-piece band and it looked and sounded amazing (though not completely deafening that you couldn't hold a conversation. The band followed the songs we requested and made sure that our first dance, mother/son dance, and father/daughter dance, were arranged perfectly. Once again, there is nothing like having a live band at the wedding and the Skyline Drive Orchestra is the way to go!

d assured us that the band would be fantastic. Not only did he deliver on every promise he made but he exceeded all expectations! The band was professional, loaded with talent and kept the dance floor full the entire night. Mitch was easy to work with and really removed any stress we could possibly have when it came to music for the celebration. If you are thinking of hiring a DJ stop and get the Sky Line Orchestra. It will be one of the best decisions you will make. It has been two weeks since the wedding and I am still getting messages from friends and family asking how did we find that amazing band? Thanks again Mitch!

and since I come from a pretty musical family I was very particular about what I wanted. Whenever I spoke with Mitch he assured me his group could play what I was asking for. I probably was a pain, but I knew what I wanted and this band delivered. From jazz to Jay-Z they nailed every single song. My best man speech was a song and they played backup on the fly which was so cool. The singers were outstanding and smooth and funny when they saw something happening on the dance floor. The horn section was loud and really gave the band that extra *pop*. Mitch made sure there was always some music being played and they did the right stuff at the right time to keep everyone dancing. They knew my favorite song, Rapper's Delight, and gave me the mic to rap and afterwards my brother a bass for a solo. I've never seen a band go out of their way like that. This band knows how to party. They know how to get people involved. They've forgotten more music than I'll ever know. And from start to finish, working with Mitch was a breeze and made sure everything we wanted and needed happened. Skyline Drive Orchesta is the reason everyone said my wedding was the best they've ever been to! BOOK THEM!!

he crowd and kept the energy going all night long. They learned our first song Rob Thomas Little Wonders, and played so beautifully, I started crying and told my husband right there while dancing "the band was so worth it". Mitch was so easy to work with from start to finish. We gave the band a few songs we wanted to hear but for the most part left it up to them for song selection, which I would recommend, much less stressful on your end. I especially liked how they organized the dances and time of speeches, they were able to break everything up in a way that guests never felt like they were sitting for too long. Our guests raved that our wedding was the best they've ever been to and I think it was in large part to the band. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a great time! Kerry & Ed Pyne

and most humble guys you could work with and he goes out of his way to make sure your party is a success. Not only are they one of the best bands around, they are also the most affordable. Every member of the band is more talented than the next and you won't miss hearing the "original" songs one bit. Nothing beats live music! Thanks Mitch and SDO for an unforgettable wedding!

e about how Skyline Drive Orchestra made the party! My parents met Mitch, the band leader, at a bridal event and gave me the DVD to review. The sound was incredible. Throughout the planning process, Mitch was so helpful, made recommendations, and was very responsive. We used Skyline Drive for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music (pianist), and then 9-piece band for the reception. The musicians learned at least 3 new/special songs for our wedding -- and played continuous music throughout the reception. And the volume of the music was perfect (so often I've heard that wedding reception music can be too loud). The band played appropriate music during meal times (soothing/jazz-type music) and knew when to get the crowd dancing! In fact, all guests were on the dance floor a few minutes into the reception. Mitch and the band kept the party going all evening and showed an impressive and eclectic mix of music, which catered to guests of all ages and music preferences (I never gave any "set list" or genre, since I trusted Mitch, and it was perfect). We cannot recommend this band more highly. Wish we could relive the evening's magic! Wedding, May 31, 2014 New York City

l, and laid back. He was always quick to respond to emails and played exactly the type of music we requested. The band even learned new songs for our special dances, and they performed them beautifully. This band was more reasonably priced than others we looked at because they are not run by a big company. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone!

! They never stopped playing and did a tremendous job in changing pace throughout the night (i.e. dance songs/dinner songs). Being a musician myself, it was extremely important to me and my wife to hire a band that understood the importance of dynamics/volume control. Not once did we hear from anyone that the band was too loud, which tends to be a common complaint from guests at weddings with live music. Mitch and the band kept the party going and displayed an impressive and eclectic mix of music, which catered to guests of all ages and music preferences. The band was also very open to learning songs that were not apart of their usual repertoire. Mitch was easy and fun to work with and made sure that our special day had a wonderful soundtrack. Just as an FYI - we opted for the ten piece band. My wife and I could not be happier with the choice we made. Thank you Skyline Drive Orchestra! Mike & Maria

ocktail hour "didn't make sense" and that he never heard of a ceremony being 2 hours before the reception. In addition, he made a few other comments that really turned me off so I decided to pull out. He should learn to treat his potential clients with a little more respect.

s and he made the entire process so smooth we really felt like we were in good hands. We had music played during our ceremony and it was AMAZING, at cocktail hour we had a baby grand piano play again it was beautiful and helped create such a romantic mood. During our reception the music was constant, there was always somebody playing. Some bands wanted to play an Ipod or a cd during 'down time' but I thought after spending all of that money, it was a crazy thought! The dance floor was always packed and people have not stopped raving about the band! This is a must for you wedding, take my word!!

gotiating process, and kept threatening that he had another person hoping to book them, insinuating that I better hurry up and make a decision. When I wrote him a polite email explaining that we went with another band, he wrote back the most nasty, rude email that I have received. I was actually shocked that someone who ran a business would talk to a customer this way. He acted like a spoiled kid who did not get his way. Also he does not punctuate correctly in his emails. The whole process seemed very unprofessional to me.

wedding at the Madison Hotel on June 9,2012. The band was a professional, extremely talented and fun-loving group that I’d recommend to anyone and everyone. They were so outstanding that the ENTIRE group (probably 160 people) were on the dance floor BEFORE THE SALAD WAS SERVED! Not too many bands can say that. Four thumbs way up from the newlyweds!! Kim and Brian Hedges

re night. At one point the groom and I stepped out of the room to gaze in and NO ONE was in their seat! We highly recommend this band. They played oldies like twist & shout and contempory music too like Lady Gaga. Amazing bad which made an amazing night. We have been to many, many weddings and this band was by far the best. All of our guests said that was the best party they have been to and we have Skyline Drive to thank.

y a song for my five year old niece at her request. All our guests agreed the band was amazing. They kept the songs rolling one after another and had everyone on the dance floor. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band.

pieces (we had eight) and price (which was very competitive). They were also willing to learn the songs that we wanted to use for our introductions, first dance, and parent dance if they were not already in the Band's repertoire. Mitch was very responsive and easy to work with. Most importantly, the Band was energetic, sounded great, and had our guests dancing throughout the evening. We received many compliments from our guests about both the musical selection (we largely left it up to the Band to decide what to play) and the quality of the music. I highly recommend the Skyline Drive Orchestra.

nyone looking for a great band!
