Sly 45

rough the timeline and give advice about what would work best and why. Because of Andrew’s experience in the wedding industry, he also had so many creative ideas for how to engage the guests on our dance floor and make sure the night ran smoothly. He was also extremely responsive and took the time to answer our questions or give feedback and suggestions. Sly 45 is able to play a HUGE selection of music, ranging in many different genres, so my husband and I were able to select songs that all of our guests would enjoy. In addition to their wealth of songs, we were able to choose two approved songs for them to learn how to play, one for our ceremony and one for our reception. They learned how to play both songs so well and beautifully. Before the wedding, I felt completely confident in our music choices and the timeline. On our wedding day, Sly 45 ROCKED it. Everyone was on the dance floor - from our youngest to oldest guests. I cannot express enough how incredibly talented Sly 45 is, and how enjoyable it was to dance and listen to them on our wedding day. We cannot recommend them enough for their talent, professionalism, and creative, upbeat energy.

uidance on our timeline, and filling in seamlessly where were unsure on selections. When our wedding was delayed due to Covid, they were flexible on rebooking, and able to accommodate us adding a ceremony service last minute, which we originally did not have booked. And most importantly, they are incredible musicians! Everyone was dancing all night and had the best time!! Could not recommend them more highly :)

planning and made it easy to personalize the music! They are true professionals and seriously had EVERYONE on the dance floor ( of all ages!!! ). The music selection is large and perfect to what you want played at a wedding!! Andrew makes an amazing MC - which made our reception a breeze and entertaining!! Special shout-out to the saxophonist - UNREAL! You need the sax!!!!! Hands down. Everyone said how amazing our wedding band was.. every member of the band!! People were dancing all night long! Also - the band learned a song for our first dance but I had specifically wanted it more acoustic and slowed down - and it was beyond my expectations!!! Sly 45 really made our wedding day so memorable and so special.

hem for reception only - we did a 4.5 hour service with 5 band members (saxophone added). The sax was the best touch!! They brought their own lighting and did all the MC for the night. They were also very organized leading up to the wedding. Easily reachable via phone or email. They sent us a google doc timeline about a month before the wedding which included everything, from the introductions, to the first dance songs, to the preferred songs we wanted them to play. They will DJ any song you want, and if a song you really want is not on their song list already, you have the option of asking them to learn two new songs, which I thought was really neat. We absolutely loved the versions of the songs we asked them to learn. Even though we had 175 guests to say hello to, I never wanted to stop dancing, they were just that good! We are so happy we booked Sly 45 as our wedding band, something we will never forget!!

venue for February. One of our main factors was making sure all of our vendors were available for whatever new date we chose - Sly 45 was non-negotiable - we were NOT losing them because of the venue mess. While I'm sure most people won't deal with the things we dealt with, SHOULD you have any craziness in planning, just know that Sly 45 has got your back!! When I told Andrew what was going on, via phone, one of the first things he said was - "Listen, wherever you re-plan for, whatever the situation ends up being, I'm telling you that we will make sure it is the absolute best night for everyone" -- and he wasn't just being a salesman! When we finally re-planned and went to meet Andrew to go over the final contract, as well as choose songs for certain parts of the day, we brought some drinks and sat in his kitchen with him for 2 hours - then ended up continuing the night at a pizza place nearby and learning that not only did we make a great decision for our wedding, but also that Andrew is a great guy! When the reception first started, Andrew welcomed everyone to the night and added a very sincere and personal touch about our wedding planning chaos - asked for a round of applause for ALL the vendors for being flexible for us, and just started the night on such a good note about being genuinely happy for us that everything worked out. I just saw everyone in the room light up that this "stranger" understood and was there to make sure we had a great time. As for their ACTUAL job, not just how awesome they are as people - the band KILLED it all night. I got to chat briefly with a few of them when they had a food break and I just felt like they were so happy to be there, and having a good time themselves. These guys are so talented and kept everyone's excitement up all night. We have received so many compliments from the biggest variety of guests, and when my parents visited us in Baltimore last weekend, they looked up Sly 45's schedule to see if we could find them anywhere! My mom and her friends/generation from Philly all said they were so used to DJs and dance music, they were wondering if they would end up knowing any of the music or wanting to dance to it - but Sly 45 plays such a variety and does their job so well, every person of every age was dancing all night. (I'm talking my 2, 3, 5, 10 and 12 year old nieces and nephews, up to my 84 year old grandmother.) I can't thank them enough for being a part of our wedding, and flexible enough to go through the "re-planning" with us. (I really mean it, too, Andrew actually helped us put together our timeline for the whole reception!) If you are looking for a way to ensure all guests are on the dance floor all night, stop your searching, you've found it!!

y to work with and extremely organized. They are exceptionally talented musicians and have a great feel for the audience they are performing for. Truthfully, we hired them before hearing them play live and not to be overly dramatic, it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. If you’re looking for a band, skip the dime a dozen wedding factory bands and go with Sly45 - you and your guests will have an absolute blast!

er of compliments they received. Sly 45 was the best decision I made in my wedding planning (and al my other decisions were pretty darn good). I really cannot thank them enough for making the day so fun!

how they "made" our wedding reception. Sly45 knew when to be serious, when to use humor, and how to engage with our audience. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening...... there were even people dancing during our cocktail hour! In my opinion, there is no band in the Baltimore/Annapolis area that could top them as a wedding band. They are extremely talented and dedicated individuals with a passion for music, which is evident when you see them perform. Their current profile picture is actually from our wedding =) Book Sly45 for your wedding and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. If you are, we will pick up the tab!" -Geoff and Lauri Gibson October 1st, 2011 Chesapeake Bay Foundation Annapolis, MD
