Slippery Band

As the mother of the bride, I cannot recommend Slippery highly enough! They performed at my daughter’s wedding and were absolutely incredible. In the weeks leading up to my daughter’s wedding, the band provided an extensive song list so that she and her fiancé could create both a “must-play” list and a “do-not-play” list. This thoughtful preparation helped the band understand their musical tastes and the atmosphere they wanted for their celebration. Their energy, talent, and song selection kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. One of the most memorable moments was when they invited the bride and groom onstage for a sing-along—it was such a fun and special experience! Slippery helped create an unforgettable celebration, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was. If you want a band that will bring incredible energy and keep the party going, Slippery is the perfect choice!

Historically, at a wedding, by the end of hour two of dancing, I’ve found a nice quiet couch in a corner, while everyone else keeps the dance floor going. So, it stunned not just me but also my now-husband, my family, and several friends when I was out there virtually the whole night – especially after my early early hair and makeup call that morning. We were even up on stage with the band for a few songs! Because Slippery Band was just. That. Good. They started the night with classics that got the older generations on the floor and transitioned to end on pop rock bangers that had all of our friends shouting along with the lyrics and dancing up a storm. The band asked us from the beginning to trust them with the set list and, boy, did they NAIL it. Virtually every guest we spoke to at the reception and that we’ve spoken to since has mentioned how fantastic they were. And what’s even more impressive: they nailed every special song and dance we asked them for – and were totally game for our more out-there requests. We had the usual first dance (perfect, especially for two non-dancers who were very nervous about it), father-daughter dance (had multiple family members wiping away tears), and mother-son dance (so beautiful). But they also happily added a special “mothers and daughters” dance that allowed us to honor my mom. And when my husband joked our entrance song should start with a riff from Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” Chris, the band’s leader, said, “Oh, we can probably do that” – and then did it flawlessly. (Our photographer caught pictures of me full-body laughing when I heard it lead into “Shut Up and Dance.”) Finally, they handled our ceremony music and sound beautifully – and made possible one of the most special parts of the day. My brother and sister-in-law are both talented semi-professional musicians, and as a wedding gift, they agreed to arrange and play a song as I walked down the aisle. When Chris heard about this plan, he was extremely supportive and connected with them to make sure that Slippery would have ready any and all sound support that they would need to make it happen. It sounded so beautiful, and we could not be more grateful. In other words – without question, please, please book Slippery Band to play at your wedding!
