The Broken Heels did incredible work not only in their performance on the big day, but also leading up to our wedding. Brittney, their leader and our point of contact, is a talente...
d singer with an excellent band. Her work ethic and professionalism truly sets them apart. Weeks prior to the wedding we gave her requests for both recorded and live music that she matched perfectly to the timeline.
Some may think the band is just there to get people dancing after dinner, but in our case the Broken Heels were there every step of the way. They're the backbone for ceremony, cocktail hour, first dance, and speeches. They got to the venue early, set up their instruments before any guests arrived, and set up sound for ceremony. I truly felt like their efforts were customized to our day, we got exactly what we wanted.
Of course when it came time to dance they delivered. The 5-piece band played a top-notch set with excellent sound. Brittney and the instrumentalists have great voices. Our family and friends of all ages had a wonderful time. My wife and I highly recommend the Broken Heels for your special day.

HIRE THIS BAND!!!
If you are deciding between a DJ and a band, choose a band. If you are deciding between The Broken Heels Band and another band, HIRE THIS BAND! They absolutely ...
MADE our wedding and reception!
Britteny was a dream to work with in the planning phase. She made choosing the set list and vibe for the reception very easy. She was quick to respond, calmed all our nerves, and answered every question.
On the day of, the band blew our expectations away. They were fun, energetic, and kept the dance floor moving the whole night! At one point, there were zero people in their seats (including all the grandparents). Even a bubble machine and some crowd tambourines made an appearance.
They also performed our first dance and parent dance songs, which sounded identical to the tracks we sent them.
Some quotes from our guest included:
“It was like our own personal concert!”, “Banger after banger after banger!”, “I’ve never danced this much at a wedding!”, “It was the perfect blend of Oldies and Warped Tour!”
To conclude… Hire The Broken Heels Band!

I can’t say enough good things about the Broken Heels. What an amazing group of extremely talented people. From the very beginning Brittney was extremely responsive, answering all ...
of our questions and clearly outlining their offerings and options available. Brittney then took the time to get to know us as a couple as well as our style of music and how we envisioned the day. Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more thanks to the broken heels. The band is extremely talented and had everyone dancing on the dance floor at all times. They played all our favorite songs and I’ve never received more compliments from guests on music. Working with the Broken Heels truly made our wedding one to remember!!

mlessly blended different genres. Each singer brought their own unique style, and they harmonized beautifully together. We were especially impressed by how well they handled our personalized requests. We also appreciated how professional and organized they were. They arrived on time, set up without any hassle, and communicated with us every step of the way. Their expertise truly shone through, making us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding unforgettable.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE. We heard The Broken Heels at friend's wedding and my husband cornered one of the band members in the bathroom asking if they had our wedding date available (...
true story). Thankfully, they did!!
Their energy is contagious and their talent is out of this world. If you want to have a packed dancefloor of guests rocking out, HIRE THEM. They were professional and charismatic at the same time. There was no ego, just pure enjoyment of music and having a great time. Our wedding was smaller (70 ppl) and they adjusted to not overpower the space while still having an amazing time.
To the band-- we cannot thank you guys enough for capturing our spirit in the setlist, you hit the nail on the head and our wedding seriously would not have been the same without you rockin' out with and for us!

We absolutely love the Broken Heels Band. They will elevate your wedding, dance floor, and make your reception such a memoriable and fun experience. Our guests continue to rave abo...
ut them and they had every single person dancing. Most bands do not MC, but they do as well as take care of the music for the entire wedding (if needed) - both ceremony and cocktail hour. They were so flexible and flew out to our destination wedding with a TWO WEEKS NOTICE. I will go into further detail at the bottom of this review - but wanted to write a quick highlight first (it'll be a long read). But BOOK THEM! They are amazing. Their setlist is a great variety of artists and genres - and they are also open to other songs not on it and can add whatever you'd like! They're a 10/10. We are constantly looking at their schedule to see when they're in our area so we can see them again. We love them!
My husband and I had a destination wedding in the carribean. We had originally booked a band local to the island about a year in advanced. We've seen them on the island many times, and originally thought it would be easier to manage vs flying out a band from the states. Fast foward to three weeks before the wedding, after lots of communication and no issues, that band let our coordinator know they would not be performing at our wedding with no real explanation.
My now husband and I randomly decided to go to Proof22 the night all of this unfolded - and without knowing a band was performing there - The Broken Heels Band! They were incredible (as always) and I decided to reach out to them to see if they were available and potentially open to performing and flying to the carribean with such little notice. To our luck, and what our families now call fate, they somehow were and were all on board! Brittney got back to me the very next day. Her communication is amazing and we somehow figured out a plan - flights, stay, and all - not to mention our wedding was on a private island and fairly complicated to get to, within two weeks. They made such a stressful time in wedding planning so easy for us!
We still cannot believe that this all happened and we are forever grateful for Brittney and the rest of the Broken Heels band. They were truly such a highlight to our wedding day and will be one for yours too! I recommend them to everyone I know in hopes of attending another wedding with The Broken Heels Band.

r wedding day. We wanted to have a concert and dance party and oh, my, goodness, we got so much more. Every single person at our wedding danced. We will be seeing The Broken Heels play at nearby venues long long after our wedding because they are that good. The whole band was so kind and made us feel so welcome and special. Brittney also made the planning process so fun. We can't thank Brittney, Seth, Francis, and Degan enough for making us feel like rock stars.
We had an odd request to make a mash-up between Father & Dather by Paul Simon and Radio Gaga by Queen. Something we thought was impossible. But the band took the request openly and it was absolutely EPIC.
If you are looking for a band for your upcoming wedding, please please use them. You will not be disappointed.
To quote my aunt whom I had never seen dance until our wedding, "Loved your band. I knew every song".

Ah! Wow, Sabrina. This is the quickest we've ever received a review! Thank you so much for...
having us. We felt like total rockstars up on The Sinclair stage. You guys were a blast and the confetti cannon was AMAZING. We had no idea that it was even coming so it was an absolutely incredible experience when it went off. We love you guys and are so happy for you both. Congratulations and we'll see you at the next show!

The Broken Heels band was absolutely the BEST choice we could have made for our wedding!!! Brittney was so easy-going and wonderful to work with! The band went above and beyond to ...
take all of our requests and over-delivered for an INCREDIBLE performance!! They were so flexible and accommodating when it came to last minute changes due to weather, and when our original ceremony piano player got Covid and had to pull out, The Broken Heels saved the day and DJ'd our ceremony and made every transition SEEMLESS as if we had planned it that way all along!! They really brought the energy and got us all dancing, shouting, clapping, and jumping!! It was a circus wedding so we had a lot of planned performances and The Broken Heels were the perfect way to compliment each act, including our special bride and groom fire dance! We can't thank The Broken Heels enough for rocking it out and making our wedding a magical night to remember forever!!!!

WOW. If you are looking to actually enjoy your reception and have it be reviewed as "The most fun wedding EVER" you need to hire this band. Full stop, no questions, you won't regre...
t it.
I am not exaggerating in the slightest. Every single one of our guests made this comment to me after (most fun wedding), and I entirely agree. They have both male and female singers, so they switch when it is appropriate to the song, and the playlist they have is so diverse it did hit all age groups very well. Brittany makes the booking so incredibly easy and arguably enjoyable. The document they send walks you thru what songs you need and when, and if you hire them for the ceremony, they are very flexible in learning the songs you pick. The best part is that they let my husband sing a song (watermelon sugar!!) to me, and they even planned a practice time for him the day of.
THEY made our wedding fun. I did not have to fight or drag people out onto the floor at all. It made for such wonderful bonding memories, young and old were up and shaking it :). Sure, they are more expensive than some of the other bands, and absolutely more than some guy with a playlist and speakers (DJ's), but it is such a game changer. The reception is over half of the event, and the positive energy they created is worth all of the extra cost of some recordings and flashy lights. I would make that decision 100 times again. My husband is a musician and can hear the subtle differences in technical music variances, and he gave them an astoundingly strong approval after listening to their wedding playlist. Their timing, tone, and rhythm were perfect on all the songs, as you can hear in their trial video. They knocked it out of the park, it is like having a personal concert that plays all the songs you like lol. The music volume was perfect, people could still talk comfortably and it didn't make your ears hurt when you were standing close to the stage. They have perfected their craft and I wish I could get married again next year just to relive this part of the fun :). HIRE THESE PEOPLE!! YOU WILL LOVE THEM.

t, and Brittney was great to work throughout the planning phase. They played both acoustic cocktail hour music and had full band for reception. Both were fantastic! They learned a couple of songs for us, including a not very well known song that was our “first dance” and they absolutely nailed it. And then, the party really started and they rocked it! The dance floor was full the entire night and all of our friends and family had a blast. If you are looking for great people to work with and amazing music at your wedding, highly recommend The Broken Heels!

We don't really have words adequate enough to describe just how PHENOMENAL The Broken Heels were on our recent wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, Brittney (owner/lead singer) ...
was so incredibly professional and helpful. She walked us through curating the soundtrack of the most amazing day of our lives. She offered to help keep the timeline moving on the day of the event, and she did so with professionalism and experience that made us as the bride & groom, and the whole wedding party feel completely at ease. Now for the actual performance. The Broken Heels are a group of insanely talented musicians who know how to put on an unbelievable party!! The dance floor was packed all night long, and our guests were having what was such a clearly incredible time, that two of our best friends surprised us with buying an extra hour of their time, because nobody was ready to stop dancing. Brittney had actually told us this would be an option ahead of time (another example of how she prepared us for everything), and had our friends not done it, we would have!! The band was so accommodating and willing to keep the party going. We have had countless guests reach out to us with rave reviews about The Broken Heels, and we cannot recommend them more highly!!

Best wedding band ever. Our guests have said that it was the most electric wedding dance floor that they have ever experienced. They absolutely crushed everything from Blink 182 ...
to Sum 41 to American Hi-Fi to Amy Winehouse to Bon Jovi to the Cranberries.
They were also a pleasure to deal with -- very responsive, well-organized, and thoughtful in helping us figure out timing and logistics for the reception. We cannot recommend them enough.

The Broken Heels are absolutely amazing! We could not have been any happier with how helpful Brittney and the band were in the lead up to our wedding. From our very first phone ca...
ll they were incredibly attentive and helpful and our night wouldn't have gone nearly as smooth as it did if it weren't for them. They arrived early to set up speakers for our outdoor ceremony, MC'd our entire reception, and then put on an absolutely amazing performance. I never thought I would see my 90 year old grandmother dancing to Fall Out Boy, but thanks to The Broken Heels that's now something I can cross off my bucket list.
Every single person at the wedding made sure to tell us how much fun they had dancing and how much they loved the music. One of my friends even joked that he would need to get divorced just so he could get re-married and hire them as his band because he now regrets not having live music at his reception.
If you are considering having live music at your wedding you need to hire this band. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and I'm still getting compliments on how amazing they were.

This band rocks!! We were pleasantly surprised after contacting them with the broad spectrum of music that they were able to play - everything from the wedding classics like Earth...
, Wind & Fire to classic rock like Tom Petty or the Outfield, and even a ton of our requests for bands like Blink182 & Sum41!
Brittney was super attentive through the planning process and made the entire wedding seamless. They brought so much more to the table by MC'ing the whole night, providing sound equipment and helping keep us to our schedule with the ceremony, reception, speeches, etc.
We couldn't recommend this band enough! They kept our dance floor full and on top of that they are just great people. Go with The Broken Heels for your wedding, no question!

How do you sum up The Broken Heels? The greatest wedding band with extreme levels of talent, professionalism, showmanship, and passion.
Having looked into almost 2 dozen bands, T...
he Broken Heels quickly became our favorite. They are a 5 piece band that will rock harder than any 10 piece band, at a cost that will actually make sense for your budget. If you want a band that will deliver a high-energy dance party, this is the band you’ve been looking for.
The Broken Heels rock all the hits from the 60’s through present day. Our favorite part of their repertoire: the extensive list of hits from the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s. As a couple born in the early 90’s, this band stole our hearts by playing all our favorites from our childhood. We also requested “The Bones” by Maren Morris for our first dance, and they learned it with no issues and absolutely NAILED IT!
Every member of the band is a professional musician, and they all bring an immense amount of talent to the stage. They play the iconic hits with perfection, and they also know how to rock. The band leader, Brittney is absolutely amazing. We simply cannot say enough about her - professional, prompt, talented, and enthusiastic. She is kind, fun, and so easy to work with.
We changed our wedding date twice, and The Broken Heels were able to make the switch without a problem. With increased safety measures for COVID-19, they remained professional and understanding of all the changes. Our “micro-wedding” was an absolute party because of them - our guests still haven’t stopped raving about them! You need this band for your wedding!
