The Class

We hired The Class for our wedding this past June, and they were absolutely incredible. Gabe was in constant communication with us from the moment we booked them until leading up to the wedding to make sure we were able to capture just what we wanted, staying on top of every little detail. Their performance at our wedding was high energy and they kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Jameson, the front man and MC, was a true professional. He knew how to engage the crowd, his vocals were fantastic, and he effortlessly guided the flow of the evening. I had requested a unique song that was not on their setlist ("Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard") for my first dance with my father, and he and the band did a fabulous job-they even threw in some awesome gritos (Mexican vocal cry/shot) like in the original song. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the band was. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and fun band for any event, I highly recommend The Class!

Stop what you're doing and book these guys. They played our wedding in Palm Springs in early March 2024 and absolutely lit the place on fire (in a good way). They were so great to work with along the way, responsive and accommodating, and their pricing is very reasonable compared to other wedding bands. Most importantly, they managed to get every single person at our wedding onto the dancefloor, including a few 90+ year olds and some very, very socially awkward friends of friends... Some highlights: - Gabe is great to work with. Very flexible and accomodating - They played our ceremony and cocktail hour too and were very tasteful - They crafted a perfect setlist taking our recommendations into account while also using their expertise to play what 'works'. They just made it all happen and it was great! Our wedding guests are still buzzing to us about how great the band was. Need I say more??

100% as advertised! If you are considering a live band for your wedding, look no further than The Class. Great musicians and even better people. They are professional, accommodating and killer at executing an event! They know how to read a room, transitioning from song to song AND live to DJ effortlessly and without interruption. Give Gabe a shout, you won't be sorry you did!

The Class were absolutely great and I would highly recommend them. They were perfect for the night of our wedding. The music was on point, the dance floor was full, and we have got some great cell phone footage of the whole party singing along. Gabe was a great MC of the event as well, who made everything flow seamlessly. Finally, Gabe was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He was very professional, very responsive, and we went into the night of our wedding entirely confident on the music. It really was a wonderful experience.

The Class are the absolutely PERFECT wedding band. We have been dancing to them for years at so many amazing events. We gave them minimal direction and they absolutely crushed everything. What sets Gabe and co apart from other wedding bands is their attention to detail for the little things, the music they played during dinner was perfect and every song transitioned to the next. Gabe was also incredibly responsive during the entire process. They had never done an international wedding and did not hesitate to come down to Mexico for us. They also handled all the communication with our DJ for equipment and kept us out of the details (which as you know is a rare and awesome trait in a wedding vendor). We cannot recommend the Class enough! Stop searching, you've found your band!

We love The Class!! It was a no brainer that they would play at our wedding, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. We can't recommend them enough, and would highly encourage everyone to include their horns players with the full band - amazing sound. Gabe is so easy to communicate with, and went out of his way to work with the band to learn an "unplugged" version of our first dance song, which helped make it that much more special.

From the beautiful acoustic sets during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour to the non-stop hits that kept the dance floor full and moving, The Class Band absolutely crushed it! Gabe and the boys even went so far as to learn two new songs that held special significance for us to play during our first dance and parent dances. Leading up to the wedding, Gabe was always very quick to respond any time we reached out and a tremendous help with logistics. If you’re looking for a band that’s easy to work with, looks good and rocks hard, The Class Band is where it’s at!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Class. They were so professional, incredibly nice, and played the absolute best music. Everyone at my wedding raved about what an amazing band I had. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

My husband and I worked with The Class for our wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. THEY WERE AMAZING and exactly what we were looking for. Gabe was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond which is always a huge plus when planning a wedding. The band learned 2 songs for us, one of which they learned for both the processional (instrumental) and then played at the end of the reception (with vocals). They kept everyone dancing all night and played a variety of genres / eras to keep all of the guests singing along. They already had our first dance song on their list which was even more perfect. So many of my friends and family have told me how much they loved our band. I would recommend The Class to everyone!!!

The class band totally rocks! Gabe was extremely communicative during the planning process and we felt he really cared about us. Our dance floor was never empty! Their vibe is super fun and they were very easy to work with. Great selection of songs to choose from and the two new learned songs sounded fantastic!

We had The Class Band perform at our wedding in September 2022 and could not have been happier with them! Gabe is such a thoughtful person and was so easy and accommodating to work out logistics with. They band learned two songs specially for our big day and they turned out great. We have had so many comments from our wedding guests about how amazing the band was! We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

The Class Band is Amazing. I've had the pleasure of working with them on multiple occasions, as a Wedding Planner. They are professional, organized, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!!

Gabe and the guys were incredible. From their first email to us, we knew we made the right call. They were almost as excited as we were. They did a fantastic job coming up with arrangements for our requested songs and the set list set exactly the right tone. These guys are insanely talented and we're so lucky they were available on our date!

I cannot say enough great things about this band. They were undoubtedly our easiest vendor to work with through the entire wedding process. My husband and I literally felt like we had our own private concert. They kept the dance floor completely full until the very last song. The guests couldn't stop raving about how great the band was. We will forever remember The Class as part of our big day!

The Class Band was WAY more than just a band for the night. Not only did they keep our dance floor full ALL night, but Gabe and his team also helped with ceremony sound, playlist selection, MC'ing and SO much more. As we approached our wedding date, we had loads of questions. Gabe was beyond kind to us and answered every single question while making sure that everything we wanted to happen that night would happen in the most seamless way. It felt like we were in a movie and it was so easy to work with them. Needless to say, one of the highlights of our wedding was having The Class Band there. People keep telling us that the band was their favorite part of the night! We feel so lucky. Thank you all so much for helping to make our day the happiest day of our lives!

Gabe and The Class Band are FIRST CLASS and the greatest!! They were recommended to me by our wedding venue, and booking them was one of the first things I did early on because I know how important it is to secure wedding entertainment. And these guys, for good reason, book up FAST! They will play anything and everything, and everyone has a fabulous time when they're singing and playing the tunes! Our wedding was a dream come true, and we are so grateful to have had them there entertaining all of our guests!

These guys were great in all respects. From the communication, to the song selection to the actual performance, everything was perfect. The videos speak for themselves - great musicians and will make any event better. In addition, they were very easy to work with - exceptional communication and very reliable. If you're looking for a great wedding band, I would definitely recommend you book The Class!

The Class Band is the best wedding band ever!! Everyone could not stop talking about how they were literally the best wedding band they've seen, and said they played all their favorite songs. Even my 90 year old grandma was impressed! They did an amazing job getting people up and dancing. Even the songs we asked them to learn were played so naturally. I am so happy we booked them, it really made our wedding stand out from all others!

When we first discussed our wedding in the infancy of its planning stages—one thing that was important to my husband and I was that we really wanted a live band. We had been to many weddings previously where the dance floor had been a bust for varying reasons—guests, time of day, availability of alcohol, quality of DJ—but a continuous theme we had found was that weddings with a live band helped keep the energy up and the dance floor populous. Which is all we wanted! A fun dance party with our friends and family. When we began our search, our wedding planner pointed us in the direction of The Class and it was love at first set list. We spent an hour reading over their set list and every few seconds we’d say out loud “We LOVE that song! We love THAT song!!!” They even had “This Will Be Our Year” by the Zombies which we had no idea was even a possibility for wedding band repertoires! Their vibe, their video examples, and their varying range of songs were obviously perfect from the get go. And working with them from there was even more amazing! Gabe was so responsive by email and so flexible in helping us musically design the evening we dreamed of. Many years ago we joked about going right from our first dance into “I’m a Believer” and getting the whole floor dancing—and that dream came true thanks to The Class! Gabe also navigated our “between sets” Spotify playlists like a champ and made our ceremony musical cues go off without a hitch. Guests of all ages loved hitting the dance floor when The Class played and the energy never dipped! We can’t recommend The Class enough for all your event’s musical needs!

The Class was the perfect band for our Hollywood wedding! They were super easy to work with and their music kept the dance floor packed all night. If you're looking for a really cool wedding band look no further! I highly recommend them and can't wait to figure out a reason to hire them again soon :)

I seriously can’t say enough good things about The Class! They made the entire process as smooth as could be and were highly responsive and friendly. Our guests has the BEST time at our wedding thanks to their amazing music and song selections. Would highly recommend for any party!

The amount of details that go into planning a wedding can be so overwhelming. When you work with vendors that make it easier, it is a huge relief. Gabe and The Class were such a breath of fresh air during our year of planning. We first reached out to the band because we liked their diverse song list, but I quickly felt like I 100% trusted Gabe as we worked together to plan the music. He was organized, responsive, flexible, responded to email quickly, had good suggestions and just generally on top of it. And that was just before the wedding. You can tell these guys really love their job because they kept the party going all night. Everyone at the wedding commented on how great they were! Gabe even indulged me on a last minute lyric change for our first dance. As far as value goes in the things we paid for, The Class was by far our best investment!

I couldn’t have imagined a better live band experience at our wedding than what the Class gave us. We found them online and were impressed right away with their sound, their energy and their song selections. Throughout the entire planning process, Gabe was exceptionally accommodating and helpful. The Class played for our ceremony, dinner, and reception. I couldn’t know what to expect since I hadn’t seen them play before but the band supported the ambiance for each part of the night, playing with different tempos, moods, and dynamics to support the celebration, not take away from it. Their ceremony renditions of Van Morrison and Neil Young brought guests to tears, and their covers kept the dance floor packed the whole night. If you are looking for a knock-out band to round out your perfect night, you will not go wrong collaborating with The Class.

The Class Band was one of the very best decisions of our wedding! Gabe and his band mates were incredibly professional, responsive to emails and questions, and most importantly - created an atmosphere at the reception that had my guests commenting that it was the best wedding they've ever been to! Cannot recommend these guys more - they had all of our music and sound needs covered even for our more rustic, outdoor wedding: from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. They also learned one of my very favorites to play for our first dance - a special moment that I will never forget! Amazing talent, attitudes, and song choices all around.

The Class rocked our wedding in the best way. They were very collaborative with sets and song requests. They read the room perfectly and turned things up when we needed it. Their sound mixing was pitch perfect (Even gaining the highest praise from our tough music industry family-member-crowd who’ve worked with the likes of Pink Floyd, Prince, and Jackson Browne!) They also were fast responders during planning and day of song request accommodations. I hope we work together again soon; I can’t recommend them strongly enough.

The Class was fantastic! With so much to consider when planning a wedding, I wanted a band that I could hire and more or less leave to their own devices and see them on the day. The Class delivered this experience and more! Gabe assured full confidence in the Class's ability to host a fun and beautiful wedding experience. Not to mention handled dealing with wedding-planning parents like a pro. Thank you The Class! 5 stars is not enough!

Hiring The Class for our wedding was one of, if not the, best decision we made. Gabe and the other guys were extremely kind, professional, easy to work with, and most importantly, talented! They provided us with the perfect music during dinner and had everyone up and dancing afterward. They know exactly what they're doing and they do it in such a non-cheesy, and classy (no pun intended) way. I would hire them again without a second thought and I have already recommended them to several other people!!

Don't think twice (seriously) - hire The Class Band!! They were absolutely incredible and a highlight of my wedding. Gabe was fantastic to work with throughout the entire planning process and so accommodating and friendly. We had the band play during cocktail hour and during the reception. I can't tell you how many people came up to me while dancing asking about the band and telling me how awesome they were!

What can I say..The Class was the absolute backbone of our wedding. We chose a somewhat unique outdoor venue that I knew would only work if the music was right, and that can be really tough to find- wedding/corporate bands can be so lame but good local bands might not be equipped to really handle the unique set of challenges a wedding has. From start to finish they set the perfect mood, transitioning seamlessly from band to dj to MC. I had so many people coming up to tell me how great they were during the wedding and after. Great playlist to choose from, solid advice when we needed it, and Gabe was just wonderful to work with- responsive, patient, competent, and funny. Live bands can be expensive, but The Class was reasonably priced compared to a lot of others and well worth it because they covered the entire event (ceremony, reception, after party). You get four very talented guys who managed to have the perfect amount of presence- enough to really entertain and engage but staying just enough back to let the guests enjoy each other. Polished but soulful, fun but not cheesy, a band for your wedding that in no way feels like a wedding band. Super grateful to have had these guys.

The Class was amazing. Truly first class experience from initial contact to performance at our reception. Gabe and the guys blew away any and all expectations we had. They made our reception. Don't bother looking for another band, just book The Class.

We had The Class Band at our outdoor wedding last August, and they were the stars of the show! Everyone loved their jazzy tunes, and they kept the party going in a non-cheesy, chilled-out, and great music kind of way. Definitely book this band if you want to have a great wedding and memories to last a lifetime!

I booked The Class for our outdoor, backyard wedding knowing that I needed a great band to make our wedding legit and not like a backyard barbecue. They delivered! These guys are really professional, not cheesy at all, and keep the party going without being distracting. Their renditions are true to originals while still feeling a bit their own. Gabe was very easy for me to communicate with and his friendly messages kept me at ease. Don't hesitate to book these guys.

The Class was one of the highlights of our wedding. My husband and I met dancing so we knew we wanted dancing and live music to be a central part of our event. I am lucky that Gabe, the leader of The Class, is my cousin. He and his band made a special trip to play at our wedding. Their song list is impressive, covering a diverse array of musical genres and time periods. We appreciated the opportunity to choose part of our song list while also giving the band the discretion to choose some songs to serve the needs of the audience in the moment. Gabe served as the MC as well, which he handled in a professional manner and helped us to stay on schedule. They are all excellent musicians and their energy and talent set a celebratory tone and kept people moving on the dance floor throughout the evening! Some of our family and friends commented afterwards that they have rarely danced in the past 30 (or more) years, but they had so much fun dancing our wedding. We highly recommend The Class!

If I had a chance to give this band 10 stars I would. My husband and I are both musicians and have a strong passion for artists and creativity in music. Gabe and the rest of the band were absolutely spot on. They executed both the music and the MC role perfectly and we could not be more grateful. The Class Band made my wedding one for the books! Their talent, energy and song selection were on point and working with them was an absolute pleasure. We have received an overwhelming response from our wedding and many of the compliments have been about The Class Band and their performances at both the ceremony and reception. Thank you for taking our dream and turning it in to a reality.

Going with a band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and The Class was phenomenal! My husband booked them a year and a half in advance and talked them up to all of our friends and family. We had them play during the procession/recession for our ceremony and throughout cocktail hour and the reception. They play a huge range of music from oldies to top 40 and did an amazing job keeping the energy up throughout the night. I have never seen so many people of so many ages on the dance floor at wedding. Now my husband gets to boast that he chose the best band around :)

One word: AMAZING! My wedding was 2 weeks ago, and I can't say enough good things about The Class. I spent a lot of time searching for the "perfect" band-classic, fun, and not extremely overpriced (one agency that I called was charging $10,000+ for booking any of their bands for 5 hours). I was really lucky to find them. During our initial correspondence, I told Gabe that I wanted a "giant, classy party"... and they delivered. The groom also had a few surprises up his sleeve, and Gabe worked with him last-minute to pull everything off. In fact, there were a number of moving parts that we threw at the band last-minute, and the band took it all in stride. Gabe was my point of contact, and he was very responsive, flexible, and organized- The Class was the easiest vendor to coordinate with, and this is valuable when you are dealing with a handful of other vendors. If you're in need of a band, don't hesitate to book them! Highly recommended!

As the groom, I had very few wedding responsibilities that were mine and mine alone. Music was one of them so the pressure was on. I'm happy to say The Class delivered. They brought a great sound, a sharp look, and a lot of energy to our wedding in downtown Los Angeles. At no point during the four hour set were there not people - from age 3 to 70 - on the dance floor. Gabe is a pleasure to work with. He is very organized and makes a real effort to get it right - set list, timing, etc. - and he's very patient. The whole group (we had 5 pieces including a sax) were consummate professionals. Do yourself a favor and book them before somebody else does.

There is nothing like a live band and this band is fabulous! The Class Band and Gabe, who was our primary contact, were professional and easy to work with in preparing for the big day. They were able to navigate patiently through the many opinions and ideas of bride, groom, mother of bride..,and provided lots of good feedback and guidance. It certainly showed on the wedding day. They made our reception memorable for our guests and three weeks later they are all still talking about how fun it was. Great music, a great vibe and a terrific song selection that appealed to everyone. Our guests did not stop dancing until the band's last song. I highly recommend them for wedding receptions or any event. You can't go wrong with this band.

I found The Class after wading through way too many terrible "wedding band" websites with 1990s graphics and promises of costume changes and backup dancers. I was about to give up when I Googled "non-cheesy wedding band that just plays great music" (or something), and found them. Well, this band is so good I almost don't even want to tell you so they will be available should I ever have another giant party and want amazing live music. They were so easy to work with, played the music we liked, and covered a wide range of styles. When I wasn't dancing, I was listening to my guests rave about them. Stop searching and HIRE THEM. You can thank me later.

The Class was by far one of the best wedding vendor decisions that we made!! Gabe was really great to work with and made sure that the wedding playlist was customized to our requests. He was very responsive with emails and comforted us to know that they can handle just about anything! I think every single guest at our wedding was dancing at some point during the reception, which was awesome considering the diversity in age groups that we had. Thank you guys for making our wedding so special and fun!! :)

The Class are WONDERFUL! They were super professional, both before and during the wedding. I never worried about a thing - Gabe was always proactive about planning and ironing out details ahead of time. He always got back to me quickly, whether it was about a specific song request or allowing a family member to play with them during the reception. The best part is that these are generally chill guys who we were happy to have at our wedding! Yes, there are a lot of tacky wedding bands out there. But these guys make playing weddings cool. If you are looking for a tastefully hipster-ish band that plays great music and is super professional, these are your guys!

If I could give 10 stars I would! We hired the Class to play at our wedding in San Diego. Gabe was a joy to work with. He was professional, organized, friendly and responsive. The Class's repertoire is extensive! On the day, they were early, set up without any issues – they looked fantastic and their sets were seamless. They played brilliantly; my husband and I were thrilled with the sound quality and obvious skill with which the band plays. They accommodated all our requests – and truly set the mood for the event. Everyone danced through to the last song!

The Class really made our wedding such a fun time for all our guests! They played great songs and really read the crowd to decide what to play next! I didn't expect that many people to get on the dance floor...but we had a huge crew who pretty much danced as soon as they started playing! Don't think twice....book these guys. A DJ cannot compare, and not every band out there can liven up a mixed group of people like these guys can. You won't be sorry!
