10/10 recommend! We had the best time with them at our wedding. They had everyone on the dance floor and we partied all night! The guests are still talking about how great the band was!
I recently hired The Company Band's 12-piece ensemble for my wedding, and they delivered in a major way! From the initial planning stages to the final note played at the reception, their professionalism and flexibility were unmatched. We had a few last-minute changes and unique requests, and the band was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch.
The energy they brought to our wedding was infectious, and their talent left everyone in awe. It's been months since our big day, and our guests are still raving about the band. The dance floor was packed all night, and they perfectly balanced our requested songs with their own incredible setlist.
If you're looking for a band that will make your event unforgettable, I highly recommend The Company Band. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special.
Book this band!

The Company Band (TCB) made our wedding night truly unforgettable! Booking them was a breeze, and the planning process was seamless. They went above and beyond by learning three special songs for us, which added such a personal touch to our celebration. Our dancefloor was packed all night long, creating the perfect party atmosphere.
Additionally, TCB's energy and musical talent kept all our guests on their feet, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time. While their setlist was great, we would have appreciated a bit more variety in the music genres played to cater to all our guests' tastes. This is just a minor neutral point to consider for future events.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better band to set the tone for our special day. TCB's professionalism and ability to keep the party going were unparalleled. We are so grateful for the wonderful memories they helped us create and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible live music experience on their big day.
I have had the honor to book The Company band yearly for the past 4 years. They are always professional and know exactly what our clients want to hear.
They have a form they submit before every event where you can pick music styles, song choices, and also if you would like certain songs to not play.
My clients always have the best time and the band does an amazing job getting everyone on the dance floor.
10/10 would recommend booking
I already have plans to book them again going into 2025!
This band was the best! As the MOB they were professional, could read the guests, played the entire time and played a variety of music - so very talented! Guests are still texting me about the band! Thank you for making it such a special night!
The Company Band was an absolute blast at our wedding in Chicago this past fall! We are still getting compliments about the band from our guests. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and the musicians were so talented. They were also extremely accommodating with rescheduling our wedding 3 times due to covid. The only reason I knocked a star is because communication with management was sometimes challenging, but the band was really so amazing that I would still recommend them.
This band played at my son’s late September 2020 wedding in Chapel Hill, NC.
They played lovely dinner music, learned and perfectly played a special request for Mother/Groom dance and followed with a great variety of dance songs. They directed a great reception. Several wedding guests asked for their contact information.
This band MADE the reception. The bride’s sister had the same experience when the band played at her reception several years ago.
We had almost 150 people at the wedding and there was barely a person sitting in their seats all night. The Company Band was fantastic! It is so obvious that everyone in the band is an accomplished musician and we felt so lucky to have them at our wedding. They really care about delivering a fabulous experience and seemed to really get the vibe we wanted for our event - which was to party hard - and they delivered in spades! The whole thing, from booking to playing, could not have been easier. A great time was had by all and we couldn't be more thrilled. We would highly recommend The Company Band to play at your wedding!!
They were AMAZING! The Company Band is by far the best wedding band I have ever heard. They interacted with our entire wedding party and guest. I have never had that much fun! I searched for so many bands before finding them, I was sold! They exceeded our expectations. Booked them for your next event and I promise they will not disappoint. We have had so many people tell us how fun our wedding was and it was because of them! I want to rewind and relive our wedding day!

WOW! What a great band!
I was less than excited about having a band at our wedding, but my mother was very insistent. And thank goodness she was!
We're 27, we had about 50% of the wedding ~25- 30 range and then 50% in the 45-65 range. WHAT A BLAST!
They played new and old music, they MASTERED our wedding song - You Are The Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne, and they made the entire party.
They played during the dinner some light music, and then jammed out the rest of the evening. What a blast - and very cost effective! Worth every penny.
Stop looking for bands and BOOK THE COMPANY BAND!! Words cannot stress how great, fun, entertaining, and talented The Company Band is! When I first started looking for bands I looked at a ton - and then found The Company Band and I was hooked! They are local to the Charlotte area and we went to hear them practice (because my husband is the type that he needed to hear them live before making a decision) - and they belted out a few notes of their first song in practice and he leaned over and said "yeah, they are awesome!" - so, we booked them on the spot! What a great decision! All of our guests were so impressed with a 9 piece band and the great songs that kept them all on the dance floor all night long! Such a great decision to hire The Company Band! They were amazing!!
We had a blast with the band! Everyone was talking about how amazing both the male and female vocalist were. They were accommodating, fun and totally fed off our crowd. Our only regret is that we didn't use them for an additional hour / start our ceremony earlier. Even with their dinner break, I think we came super close to getting our money's worth. Everything wedding related is expensive and I think the band was our biggest expense. We didn't ask them to learn any songs and most of our ceremony and first dance songs were played via recording. Hence me giving 4 stars instead of 5!
The Company Band Live; in my opinion, was a big disappointment for our wedding this past weekend. Per my personal conversation with Hanock the week of my wedding the band was suppose to arrive for 2pm to begin setting up for our 5:30 PM wedding. When I arrived at my venue at 4:45PM I was notified by my planner that the band had not arrived and was not answering their phones. A few minutes later they pulled up and were rude, visibly disgruntled, never gave an explanation to why they were late or responded to my question about it.
A few key notes in my opinion about my personal experiences with THE COMPANY BAND LIVE-
-Hanock Hickman was the only professional one out of the group that arrived
-They DID not play LIVE anything close to the contracted hours even after "playing 30 mins" later then we originally agreed
- They did not play through cocktail hour because they were still setting up
- Multiple people from the band thought it was appropriate to get liquor drinks from the bar
-The band members were RUDE, did not make an effort to make it a once in a lifetime night for us
- The band spent a lot of time on their cell phones to be unable to contact us to let us know they would be 3 hours late
-Overall band professionalism was lacking

I have been to dozens of weddings over the years and one thing that separates each one is the entertainment. TCB blew the roof off the reception. There was not a single moment that passed by that one of the guests was not ripping up some part of the dance floor.
Further, it was my wedding, so I was even more critical in terms of communication beforehand, punctuality, and obviously their level of entertainment. We ciphered through several bands but one thing we wanted more than anything was a p-a-r-t-y of a reception. They went above and beyond through our planning process to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. They never let us stress about a thing and offered to learn a few extra songs to make our night even more special - they played our first dance song better than Ron Pope did. All I wanted to do was talk to my guests about life, love, and liberty, but all they wanted to do was talk about how incredible the band was. If you are looking for a band to knock the socks off a party, then you better book these guys immediately.
While my wife and I were planning our wedding we had a major decision as to what we should do for entertainment at the reception. Being that we both love music and wanted to really party this was a top priority of ours. We felt finding a DJ would be relatively easy but we really wanted to slam it home with the band.
Living in Atlanta there are several local bands who could have performed at our wedding but we wanted the best. Both having attended college in Charlotte we had the pleasure of hearing The Company band play out several times.
Using an out of town vendor for a wedding can be scary but not in this case. All of the calls and details were handled immediately. Everything flowed smoothly and I believe the band was loaded in and set up before the cake was. lol
The energy was through the roof from the moment the bridal party was announced until the last dance. These guys (and gal) seemed to have an endless catalog of music and made this day one that we will never forget!
We hired The Company Band for our Wedding last month (September 21st, 2013). Hanoch was very easy going, friendly, and very accommodating. We only needed a band for about 3 hours because we were having a friend DJ towards the end of the night, but Hanoch set up earlier to do the MC'ing for introductions before the band went on. Let me say when they did go on, we were all blown away. Their vocals were on point and their energy was high. My father in law and great aunt couldn't even wait until after dinner to hit the dance floor. I would recommend this band to anyone looking for a great live band. If I am ever in need of a band again, I would hire in a heart beat. I heard nothing but good things from all of my guests. Everyone enjoyed them as well.
The Company Band was fantastic, they could not have been any better! They were a pleasure to work with, on time, polite, etc. and of course the sounded wonderful. Their play list was the perfect mix, some oldies, brand new tunes, and they also learned a special request in 3 wks...and nailed it! We have had many people ask where we found them and how much they enjoyed listening and dancing to them all night long.
I know as the Mother of the Bride, I danced all night long as most everyone else at the wedding.
I can't say enough nice things about them. I even had a someone tell me other day that lives next to the country club where the wedding was held, thanks for the music last Sat night, they sat outside on their porch and listed to the music all night long. The band played outside and all the nearby neighbors said raved at how great they sounded.
They set the tone for a fun time had by all!
The Company Band far exceeded our expectations. They were so entertaining and were very helpful to keep us on track throughout the night but introducing our wedding party and informing guests about cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc. People who I had never seen dance before danced to The Company Band's music. Of 250 guests, we had still had the majority in attendance at the end of the night because they didn't want to get off the dance floor. They are a truly fun and entertaining group and we would have paid more for their very reasonable priced services.
