The Company Band - Pittsburgh

The positive: the band members themselves ended up being phenomenal performers and put on an incredible show. Can’t say enough good things about their talent. The NEGATIVE: We had a terrible planning experience, specifically dealing with Mecca. We booked the band over 2 years ago, and a few months before the wedding we tried reaching out to them. We completed their survey to give them details about the wedding day, but never received any responses back. Finally a month before the wedding, I was able to schedule a call with Mecca. When the call ended, I was nearly in tears at how belittled I felt. When I tried to ask follow up questions via email, Mecca wouldn’t respond for days or even weeks. Finally after leaving numerous emails and voicemails, I was able to get ahold of the Company Band founder THREE DAYS before my wedding, who reassured me everything was in order. Except it wasn’t, because they didn’t provide lighting like Mecca said they would. Needless to say, communication was extremely poor and caused unnecessary stress that could’ve been avoided. Honestly, I did not believe the band was even going to show up judging by the experience we had leading up to our wedding day, so at least the Company Band exceeded that expectation.

The company band did an amazing job with our wedding! They kept the party going until the very last song. Great energy and awesome music!!!

The Company Band were the highlight of our wedding reception! I cannot say enough good things! Every single guest was raving about them and how fun and upbeat they were as well as asking us for their information after the wedding! The dance floor was NEVER empty and they paid close attention to the list of songs I sent them that we loved and made sure to play similar tunes. They really made the evening and I cannot thank them enough!

These guys are so great and so affordable! My wedding guests were dancing all night long. I searched and searched for a band that sounded great for a great price, and I found it.

The Company Band was amaaazing!! They blew me, and my entire party away - definitely a highlight of the night. The dance floor was packed the whole night. My fiance didn't want to do a first dance, but I finally convinced him the Thursday before our (Saturday wedding). The Company Band learned our first dance song with just 24 hours notice! I would definitely recommend The Company Band!!

After looking through nearly 100 bands online and comparing demos of 30 or so, The Company Band was the only band whose musicianship and repertoire fit our standards and expectations. And boy, do they put on one hell of a party. Before the reception, we had many conversations with the band in order to determine what genres of music we were looking for and that our guests would enjoy. We told them a number of our favorite artists and songs (as well as a number of our *least* favorites), and from that information, they put together a set list that perfectly fit what we wanted. They completely controlled the energy of the reception, playing some light music during dinner and moving to dance music exactly when appropriate. As an added bonus, they were even better live than on their demos! Everyone who could dance was on the floor, and we heard no end of variations on "Oh my god, where did you find the band? They're AMAZING!". As for the instrumentation, they allowed us to request the combination of our liking. We went with an 8-piece, as we preferred live winds over synths: 2 vocalists (one male, one female), saxophone, trumpet, drums, keyboard, bass, and guitar. Even with 8 people, they were very affordable, worth every penny.

The Company band was simply amazing! Before booking them we were a little nervous because we hadn't seen them perform live. Hanock took a lot of time talking to us and helping us plan the flow of our reception, and made a a custom planning page that allowed us to keep up with all the reception details. The band learned our first dance, father/daughter dance and mother/son dance. They sounded better than the recordings! All we kept hearing all night was how incredible our band was! Our dance floor stayed packed the entire night! I would highly recommend The Company Band!

I was extremely pleased with the service that was provided to me by The Company Band. They were very professional and provided exceptional service, all of my guest raved about their performance and obtained their information to book for upcoming events. My guest stayed on the dance floor the entire night, it was amazing that they were able to connect with all of my guest because my wedding was multi-cultural. They managed to reach all ages and groups that were there. I would definitely use their services for future bookings.

My daughter chose the Company Band for her wedding reception. Booking the band through Mr. Hickman was easy. He responded quickly to our request. We completed his music wish list to make sure the band played what we wanted for entrance of bride and groom, wedding party, 1st dance, etc. The Band is beyond fabulous. When they first started playing, I had to turn around to listen and watch because their sound and vocals were unbelievable! I vote this band as the one of the best that I have ever heard (think earth, wind and fire; gap band). They played R &B, Soul and some ballads. They were truly entertaining and got the guests dancing and singing! I plan to book them for my 30th wedding anniversary in 2014:). TPowell, MOB

The Company Band is absolutely amazing!! If we ever need a band for anything else, we will definitely hire The Company Band!! If you are looking for a band for your wedding, don't look any further contact the Company Band!
