We are so incredibly grateful to John and LaNette for their exceptional entertainment at our micro-wedding this October. We had originally booked The Chris Michael's Band for our wedding this past May and John was so flexible and accommodating when we needed to cancel last minute. John and LaNette attended our micro-wedding of 30 people and they truly blew everyone away with their amazing energy and sound! Our guests are still commenting on how impressed they were by the duet. My husband and I decided that we will have to have another wedding celebration in the future just so that we can experience the magic of the whole band together--if our experience in October is any indication, I expect we will be blown away by the Chris Michael's Band.
The Chris Michaels Band was recommended by a family friend - they did not disappoint! Chris and John made us feel like we were the most important couple. They made sure our timeline was followed and got our guests up and dancing the whole night. Our guests have not stopped talking about how great our band was!
I was recommended the Chris Michael's Band as the best band I could expect in a 500 mile radius, and they did not disappoint. They performed an amazing set at our wedding reception, and made it difficult for my wife and me to greet and thank all of our guests because everyone was on the dance floor. Definitely a problem we are O.K. with. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great time.
This band was amazing. Guests are still talking about them. They were professional, kept the reception moving at an enjoyable pace, and were able to play a wide range of songs. We had the 8 piece and they didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs (or just wants) live music. There's really nothing better and this is as good as it gets.
My husband and I hired the Chris Michaels Band for our wedding in September of 2018. Definitely hire this band! We knew we wanted a live band at our wedding and did our research in hiring the right band for our special day. The Chris Michaels Band checked all the boxes. They are extremely talented and kept our guests dancing the entire night! We are now a month after the wedding and our guests still reach out and tell us what a wonderful job they did. They can play a variety of music from the classics (have to keep the parents happy!) to the 80s and 90s and today. While we did give them a recommended playlist, the band did a great job of reading the crowd and choosing the next song appropriately. As an added bonus, the band is very affordable. I would recommend the Chris Michaels Band to anyone!
I'm a little late with this review but I have so many good things to say! The Chris Michaels band is sooo amazing! My husband and I had them for our wedding this passed July (July 29, 2017). They are so talented and they know how keep the crowd dancing. They sang our wedding song so beautifully. I had chills! They truly made the night and I couldn't be more happy for thankful. Thank you so much John, Chris and the rest of the band. You are the absolute best!

AMAZING! We booked the Chris Michaels Band for our wedding on 12/9/17. They were amazing and our guests are still raving about the band.
John was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and helpful when planning our song list. We asked that the band learn a song for our first dance, and they pulled it off amazingly! The whole night was perfect and everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.
The Chris Michaels Band did an awesome job performing at our wedding this past weekend! We initially saw them play at a friend's wedding back in May 2016 and knew we had to book them when we got engaged. They were super accommodating with song requests that were not on their list and had guests on the dance floor ALL night. Everyone raved about them the next day and kept saying how well they played every genre of music. I would highly recommend them for future events!
The Chris Michaels band was amazing at our wedding!!! They kept the energy of the reception up and the dance floor full the whole night!!
As soon as I saw their videos online, I knew that I loved the sound of the band and they did not disappoint!! I loved that when I booked with this band I would know exactly who I was getting (vs going through the bigger companies where you wont know who the musicians of your band are until your wedding day).
From our initial contact with the band, John was responsive and easy to work . The band was able to work with us on several requests: learned a song we requested for our reception and helping us with a sound system for our ceremony. Their day-of timing was perfect and our reception flowed well thanks to Chris's MC-ing.
All in all, the Chris Michael's band is what differentiated our wedding from others and turned it into a party!!
BEST BAND EVER!
The Chris Michaels Band was spectacular, and made our wedding reception more fun then we could have ever imagined! With an amazing mix of both old and new songs EVERYONE was up dancing the entire party! Kevin and Lynette both have stunning voices and they made our first dance so special. I would recommend them over and over again for ANY wedding, event, party or occasion!
The Chris Michaels Band is hands down the best band! I could go on forever about how great they are. Our guests are still talking about them even months after our wedding. People were on the dance floor the entire night, it was the best part of our wedding! They followed our song list perfectly and really read how the crowd was responding to each song, and picked the next song accordingly. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars :)
I had Chris Michaels for my wedding on 8/5/17. They were amazing!!! They got everyone up and dancing! All of my guests loved them! I would highly recommend them! They really set the tone of the wedding!
Amazing! The dance floor was packed for the entire reception. All the guests at our wedding are still talking about how great the band was. They played such a great variety of music that everyone wanted to dance to. This band was super easy to work with and I would highly recommend them for any event!
We had the Chris Michaels Band at our wedding this past May. They were absolutely amazing. The first thing that everyone commented on was how amazing the band was. They can sing everything from Springsteen, to today's hits, to Frank Sinatra to Opera. They truly can do it all and there was something for everyone. What makes the band so special is that each person in the band specializes in a different genre, so they are GREAT at everything. The fact that even now, months after, people still make comments about how great they are is just amazing. A friend of ours already booked them for their wedding and a bunch others grabbed their cards. I could not recommend them more! The video's online do not do them justice. I've been to many weddings in the NYC area with bands, and they are by far the best I have seen.
Awesome awesome band. Great quality, great voices, great selection of songs, very appropriate for all wedding styles. Can custom tailor a lot, learned to play the songs we wanted to dance to, but there to help steer when you don't know what direction you want things to go. The dance floor was packed the entire wedding and my guests raved about the band.
Chris Michaels Band made our wedding the most unforgettable wedding. EVERYONE came up to us during and after the wedding saying how excellent they were and how impressed they were with them. Kevin, one of the lead singers, could be a winner on American Idol. His voice captured everyone.
The Chris Michaels Band was absolutely amazing and made our wedding what it was. Guests have been talking about how great they were for months, I've even have friends book immediately after hearing them at my wedding. John was a pleasure to work with and responsive when planning our song list. There were 2 songs that just came out prior to our wedding and we asked them to learn it a month before, and they killed it! Our wedding was a nonstop dance party and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out
I don't even know where to begin - book Chris Michaels Band now!! My wedding was a month ago and we are still getting calls from people about how amazing the music was! The band was recommended to us by family members who had attended other weddings that they had played. I watched the band videos and thought they were awesome, but was still a little bit nervous as we had not seen them live ourselves. We communicated with John about a month before the wedding to give him our list of songs that we needed for first dance and parent dances and then he said to leave the rest up to them. My husband and I wondered if we should be worried and tell them more songs we wanted but in the end they were right - they knew exactly what to play to keep our guests on the dance floor all night! I can not say enough good things about how amazing the band was, they played the perfect mix of music and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
The Chris Michaels Band provided us with some absolutely awesome music and entertainment for our wedding! They were the band for my brother's wedding and they were the band we needed to have for our wedding. Chris was very professional. He sent us an email about a month before the wedding with a list of songs they could play.. which was a great and expansive selection of fun music. We talked on the phone shortly afterwards and discussed these songs and other important info/announcements for the wedding. I didn't have to worry about a thing once they arrived at the venue- they worked directly with the venue to set up and make sure the night ran smoothly. We asked our cousin to sing our first dance song and Chris was totally cool with this and practiced with our Cousin during the cocktail hour. The rest of the night they were awesome! Everyone there had so much fun.. people who never get up and dance were letting loose on the dance floor all night! Between the amazing vocals, to the woman who came out on the dance floor with the bongo drums and let guests play... everyone was raving about the band all night. They truly made our wedding a memorable night that guests will/and have been talking about since!
This band made the wedding! My daughter was very picky when choosing songs. Most of the stuff she asked for was not on their list. Not only did they learn them, they played them phenomenally.Everyone was dancing and telling me how amazing they were. The singers were great and the band rocked.
I used the Chris Michaels Band for my wedding and they went above every expectation that I had. My first dance with my new husband is something I will never forget. The lead singer has a voice that keeps all the guest stunned and amazed. People were telling me all night about how great The band was. The overall taken from each and every member was outstanding. People are still talking about how my wedding was one of a kind and it was all because of my band. I highly recommend the Chris Michaels Band they will surely make you're night unforgettable!
I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding back on May 10,2014, and I am still in shock at how amazing the band was that night. The Chris Michaels Band was on point with every song they sang. The dance floor was packed all night long no matter which genre of music was being performed. I booked them for my upcoming wedding next June and I cant wait to hear them again.
To say that the Chris Michaels Band was amazing is a complete understatement--I just don't know what other words to say!
From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable. They were open to everything we ever could've asked for! My husband and I are huge country fans and our first dance was a country song! They had no issues incorporating that into the reception. We had quite a few organized dances with our important people, and then the party got started!
We had ~175 people, and the dance floor was just filled! No one wanted to get off--even when dinner was being served!
They were all personable, mingled with our guests, and made sure everyone was having a blast!
I can't say enough great things about them. As the bride, they put me at ease when it came to the music. We told them we wanted a party atmosphere, and they absolutely delivered. They were there early to set up, excited for myself and my new husband, and were ready to get the party started. You can tell that every member of the truly enjoys what they are doing! And that's so important!
I would say they were my easiest vendor to work with. And they helped to make our wedding memorable to us and to our guests!
Thank you so much!
It all started at a wedding of a family friend. My brother booked the Chris Michael's band for his wedding, and three of his friends booked because of that night. Once you experience the unbelievable vocals, musical talent, and incredible energy of the Chris Michael's band, you will want to book them too! There was never a question for my wedding entertainment. Everyone had SUCH a great time.
I have used Chris Michaels Band for over 10 years. They are amazing. Their ability to keep the party going and make my guests happy year after year is second to none. True professionals
This band really gets the party started. I got so many compliments from my guests. They work with you to cover any songs you want. Price is reasonable. I couldn't have asked for anything more!
Recently attended a wedding that used the chris michaels band and they were awesome! Great sounding band everyone was on the dancefloor!
The Chris Michaels Band is an amazing and extremely talented group! Our guests dances the entire night and everyone gave compliments about how wonderful they are. They got the guests involved in the music and everyone has a great time! They have great energy and sound and can play any song.
This band was amazing at my good friends wedding on 10/18/14. The music was up to date, the sound was unbelievable and everyone was dancing all night long. The band is an extreme talent and I truly enjoying hearing and watching them perform all night!
The Chris Michael's Band was amazing!! They had amazing energy and my guests danced all night!! If I had to plan my wedding again I would book them in a heart beat!! I highly recommend this plan for your wedding!! They are great!!
Wedding date 5/30/14
They truly made our wedding. Every person came up to us during and after to say how amazing the band was and that they felt like they were at a concert. People danced the entire time. I still get comments today on the music. They were easy to work with and have all the current dance songs. I requested opera during dinner time and our guests gave standing ovations. You will not be disappointed if you book them.
The Chris Michaels Band was amazing!! Would recommend them in a heartbeat. Everyone was up and dancing the entire night and was telling us how great the music was!
I discovered Chris Michaels band through a referral and could not be happier we came across them! Not only are they SO talented, but so easy to work with!! We hadn't seen them play live before our wedding, but watched their videos online and knew they were something special. The song selection was fantastic and current and they got EVERYONE at the wedding dancing. We had such a great time at our wedding and it wouldn't have been the same without the mood, energy and enthusiasm created by the CMB. Love them!
Chris Michaels Band was an awesome band! They only took a 15 minute break for dinner. Their voices are incredible and they listened to our requests!
Such a talented group of musicians and singers. They can literally play anything and everything and sound so close to the original! Every single person was up and dancing at the wedding...what bride wouldn't want that? They are so professional but really FUN, too!
The Chris Michaels band were awesome! I couldn't believe the range of music they can perform and I received sooooo many compliments that night on how great the band was. Highly recommend the Chris Michaels band because they definitely know how to keep everyone on the dance floor!
I am so glad that we hired The Chris Michaels Band to perform at our wedding. They were extremely easy to work with, and our guests were on the dance floor ALL night. Guests are still commenting about how fabulous the entertainment was.
I used the Chris Michael's band for my daughter's wedding that took place at the Maplewood Country Club in August 2012. This band had the crowd up and dancing the entire evening. I have been to many weddings where the band takes numerous breaks throughout the evening but this band didn't stop playing all night long. A guest would have had to make a conscious effort to sit down and eat because the temptation to dance the night away was so great. Some of my guests commented that the band was so fabulous that I could have held this wedding in a barn and everyone would have had an equally amazing evening. Thank you John and the rest of the band for making this evening something that my guests and I will never forget.
The Chris Michaels Band gave us a truly incredible wedding!!! I knew we would be a party crowd, and the band did NOT disappoint!! People were on the dance floor from the second they started playing, until they were packing up at the end of the night. They were so easy to work with, and played a great mix of music for all of the age groups! I couldn't have asked for a better band for my wedding!! I would recommend them to anyone!
Extremely talented! The band kept the reception going all night. Their introduction skills were wonderful too.
