The Password Band was the absolute highlight of our wedding night! When my fiancé and I were deciding on priorities for our big day, I knew that having an amazing band was a must. After discovering Password on YouTube, I was certain they were the perfect choice - and they exceeded all expectations!
Wow, what an incredible group of entertainers! From Mireya's soulful dinner performances to Ron and Tanika's electrifying presence on the dance floor, the band had our guests in awe all night long. Their vocals, musicianship, and overall performance were absolutely stellar. I was so captivated by the music that I barely left the dance floor - I just couldn't get enough! Password truly brought the party to life and made our wedding unforgettable.
Without a doubt, we will be hiring Password again for future events. If you're looking for out-of-this-world live entertainment, look no further than the Password Band. Thank you for making our special day magical!

Jude and password were 10 out of 10. When we told them that we wanted to surprise our wedding guests with a disco party halfway through the night, they went above and beyond by changing into disco outfits too! They were very accommodating to our requests and made our first dance perfect! They had our guests on the dance floor the entire night and kept up the high energy! We could not recommend enough! They made it the most special night of our lives

The most fun, upbeat and hardworking wedding band I've seen! Password is the main reason our wedding was such a blast. They listen to you and work with you make your event perfect musically. They also played the entire time, including dinner music at the beginning. I'm so happy we chose Password and would recommend them for any wedding/event. Jude was incredible and so nice to work with.

Password Band was the highlight of our wedding night, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone. They didn't just perform; they became an integral part of our reception's atmosphere. Their blend of energetic voices, live instrumentation, and the professional emceeing by Jude, the owner, turned our wedding into a journey of joy and celebration. A year later, our guests still rave about Password Band when reminiscing about our special day. If you're looking for more than just a band to sing on stage, but talented individuals who will actively engage and entertain your guests, then Password Band is the perfect choice. They don't just play music; they create memories!

Password Band was the HIGHLIGHT of entertainment at our wedding. We got married 9 months ago and people STILL come to me to ask who our band was!! We cannot express to you how important it is to have people who know how to truly entertain a big party, and Password knows what they are doing! We loved working with Jude and the team and it's as if they took our initial expectations and gave us something better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you, Password Band, for making this the best night in the world for us. Worth every penny!

Jude and his amazing team set the tone from the moment they took the stage for rehearsal. As a CEO I rarely let loose and dance it up with my attendees and members at our national conferences, but Jude not only got me dancing, he got me dancing on stage with three members of my Board of Directors. It was, no cliche intended, epic. We were very happy with the variety, caliber, and overall experience Password provided our event.
5 stars.
Would recommend.

I’m so happy we moved forward with the Password band because they were amazing in every way performing at our wedding! We have guests still talking about the band and stunned with their performance! They played all the best songs to get the crowd going and their level of crowd involvement and interaction with the audience was one of a kind. As the bride I was extremely impressed and went above my expectations . They helped make our wedding WONDERFUL!!! I even got to get up on stage with my husband and sing with the band. Wow!!! So much fun.

Password Music made my daughter’s wedding reception a magical evening! They took care of every little detail so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. They were BEYOND amazing & we had so many friends tell us that they were the most fun band they’ve ever heard, & we agree! The outfits, the energy, the music selection, the professionalism & communication…..all of it was everything we dreamed of & more. Best band ever!!
Everything was just perfect and our hearts & memories are so full. I really hope someone got a video of Caroline & Mason up on stage with y’all dancing to “Sweet Caroline”. If they did I’ll send it to you for your website.
Thanks again for all you did & for being so wonderful!

We first saw Password Band perform at a friend's wedding a few years before our wedding, so as soon as we got engaged it was one of the first vendors we booked! Password Band brings the most incredible energy, and they kept the party going all night long!! Our guests still have not stopped raving about how much fun they had and how amazing the band was at our wedding. They are true entertainers, and we loved how interactive the band was by getting on the dancefloor with us. It was the absolute best night of our lives. Thank you Jude and everyone with Password Band!! We can't recommend them enough!! 10/10!

I cannot recommended Password enough - they are AMAZING and know how to work a crowd. Our dance floor was literally always packed and I can’t even count the amount of compliments we received about them. It rained our entire wedding day and we had to tent our reception space last minute - Password came in and made everyone forget about the weather and party the night away. They truly were the life of the party! They are not just another “wedding band,” they are sooo talented and know how to pump up their audience. Trust me when I say this - you NEED the Password at your wedding!

WOW! Not sure where to start, but we could not be happier with our decision to use Password Band for our wedding!!! The number one comment from our guests was how much they enjoyed the band! Password band is EXTREMELY interactive and got people who never dance out on the dance floor! Every musician is so talented and brought a unique touch! Highly recommend adding the horn section, it was a crowd favorite!! Jude was amazing to work with as well! We loved how we could just trust them and didn’t have to give any songs, they were able to know what worked with the crowd! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! Definitely one of the best decisions we made on our special day! Wish I could give them 100 stars because they deserve it!

Had been at a party before with Password so I knew they were amazing! They still managed to exceed our expectations. In the crazy Covid world we had a smaller wedding, but they were able to keep the energy and flow of the evening going, and all our guests have done nothing but rave about how much fun they had!! They performed the bride/groom, father/bride, mother/groom songs we selected beautifully, and other than that they did their playlist and it was perfection!!! THANK YOU for making our daughter's wedding a MAGICAL night.

The best band in all of Texas! Probably the US! They were engaging, the singers were phenomenal, and the musicians were top level artists! I can't say it enough...they were the best! I loved it when the girls trio on the trumpets walked around and engaged the crowd in unison. The singers hopped in the crowed and got everyone on the dance floor. It was spectacular!

I would give Password 100 stars if I could!! They were amazing! Our daughter's wedding guests are still raving about what a fun, excellent band they were. The dance floor was packed all night and this amazing band never took a break! We had booked a different band and two days before the wedding got a call that they had to cancel because the band manager had COVID and the band was exposed therefore they couldn't play. He contacted Jude, who was out of town on vacation, and Jude dropped everything to get his band together to make sure our daughter's dream wedding happened! I am blown away and beyond grateful for what he and the band did for us. We had arranged some special things with the prior band and Password did not miss a beat in learning and doing everything we wanted! I have family in Wisconsin who said they will fly the band in to play for them when their daughter gets married - they are that good! We will remember forever the incredible party they created and their kindness to rearrange their lives for us.

If you want to dance the night away and keep the party going then your search STOPS here! Password is a high energy band with amazing musicians who were wonderful to work with. From the very beginning Jude was very prompt in answering all of our questions and even requested information to personalize my parents retirement party. The band was very interacting with our guests and even invited them up on stage. One of the highlights of the night was the saxophonist who walked around serenading us. Everyone is still expressing how great the music was, how they haven’t dance that much in years and asking for the name of the band. We happily reply PASSWORD! We are looking forward to our next event to have Password entertain us again. Thank you so much Jude and Password for making our event a success!

If you want to have the best wedding ever, HIRE THIS BAND.
I went to a wedding to watch the Passwords perform and immediately fell in love. We stayed until the end of the night just to let them know we were ready to seal the deal. Jude was extremely informative and helpful with anything and everything. We had a meeting with him prior to the wedding where he filled us in on the best timeline and how he was going to keep the energy going all night. From interacting with guests to bringing everyone up on stage to dance to having my dad and I perform a song...there was never a dull moment! All I can say is that these people know how to keep a party going and I would choose them again if I did this all over again.

I saw this band one of my friends’ wedding. It was amazing especially the saxophonist. She is not just a good musician but performance with showmanship was a hit! When I decided to get married, the first thing is this band “password”! I told my fiancé that we can save $$$ but not for the good food, drinks and music! Everything else will follow. I contacted Jude the main man and he hooked me up with Theresa for the help. She is very patient with me (the nervous bride who want to check every single details) and response via both email and phone really quick! She made me feel like I do not need to worry about anything. She tried to understand and make sure what I want from phone calls/emails in advance. She is very reliable (made me not worry about anything on my busy wedding day since she knows all).
Of course they played amazing songs and they even guide my guests some dance lessons in a very fun way!
Also, they learned new song for our 1st dance which is international song. They are just reliable and amazing!
p.s. you guys are so cool!

As the MOB it was so important for the band to really shine at our celebration. They went above and beyond our expectations! As soon as they stepped onto the dance floor with our guests and the horn section lined the outsides of the dance floor I knew it was going to be an EPIC reception. “Do you remember, the 21st night of September?” Well we do!!
Highly recommend this band!! Thanks for the memories ❤️

Jude and the band are AWESOME!! They played at my son's wedding in 2015 and were so fabulous that we wanted them for our daughter's wedding in 2019. We had an out-of-state wedding, and he had an all-inclusive price and didn't nickel or dime us at all. We could not get enough of their music! We heard endless compliments from our guests both during and even months after the reception. Jude is very easy to deal with, very professional. The wedding planner couldn't rave enough about them. She said she has NEVER been part of a wedding reception where EVERYONE danced the whole time. Even the old people! Love, love them.

Where do I even start.. Password was, hands down, the best wedding band we have ever seen. This goes beyond the bias we have since it was our wedding.. Last year we went to 16 weddings (yes, it was a lot) and saw all types of bands. In our opinion, Password topped them all - no question.
A big thing that drew us in is the fact that they are not a “franchise” band. Meaning - It’s not a toss up with who you are gonna get the day of your wedding / event. These guys have been together for years and years and it really shows.
I would recommend them to anyone. No questions asked.

Jude and the whole crew with Password were honestly such a highlight of our wedding! They are amazing talented superstars and made our wedding SO MUCH FUN! They even learned and played our first dance song AND our father daughter dance song so that was super special to me. They did amazing with crowd interaction and keeping the party going to the very end - the dance floor was packed all night. Also, they look AMAZING on stage - those matching outfits for the female vocalists were FIRE! Their lights and sound set up was perfect and all the musicians are top notch! My Dad is a musician and so I put him in charge of picking our wedding band - he went and watched 5 or 6 different bands play and picked Password and let me tell you. They did not disappoint! HIRE. THEM. IMMEDIATELY.

We have been told, so many times, our daughter and her new son-in-law's wedding was perfect in every way. We tell them our daughter started early. She got a great venue and she got the band she wanted. She allowed me to preview the bands. We heard some great ones, but Password was better than the rest. Great band and so easy to work with. Jude gave us sound advice as to the night and the music. He was so right. You want my recommendation after reviewing many other top bands and having a truly great reception, Password.

Book 'Em. Password was very cooperative in everything we wanted to do with our wedding. They did a ton of crowd interaction, doing sax solos while walking around on the dance floor, and coordinating all the speeches. They had top notch gear and sounded great. Blew away the crowd. They even let me join the (I'm a guitar player) on stage and I played along with the band. They were well worth the value and I would book them again if I get the chance.
