There are no words to express how grateful we are to Kerry and the entire Eleven Band for making our wedding the dance party of our dreams!! We + our guests couldn't have been more blown away by the electric energy and ambiance they created with their incredible talent and non-stop energy from the ceremony through the end of the evening - seriously, we're still having people rave about it!!! After seeing them perform at a friend's wedding, they were the #1 vendor we knew we needed to book after getting engaged. They made our wedding feel like a non stop concert - don't walk, run to go book The Eleven!!!!
It has been several months since our wedding, and SO many people have reached out to ask who our band was and/or tell us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. My 94-year-old grandfather let us know he wants to throw a party for no reason just so he could hire them himself. And I can guarantee you we’ll attend future weddings of friends who hire The Eleven because of our wedding – is there any better compliment we could give??
We wanted the dance floor to be one of the highlights of the night and The Eleven absolutely did that. Kerry is so fun to work with and her and the band have THE BEST energy. They aren’t just a band they are performers through and through. I don’t know how they put that much energy in every night but after meeting Kerry and the band I have no doubt they show up 100% for every single event they play. We are so grateful to them and would hire them again in a heartbeat.
The Eleven band was my absolute favorite part of the wedding day (sorry to my groom ;) ) But actually, we both loved them so much. They got everyone up and dancing all night long until the very end. Our grand entrance when they played "I'm Good (Blue)" is still replaying in my head — everyone was so hyped and it was the exact fun, party atmosphere we dreamed of.
They learned some EDM songs for us and we were nervous how a live band would be able to pull it off, but it was perfect. No notes.
The biggest comment we got from our guests was how amazing the band was. My husband and I half-joked that if we were on the fence about attending an event/wedding but found out that The Eleven was playing, we would definitely go to hear them again!
The band was absolutely fantastic from start of the night to end of the night. They listened to the type of music the bride and groom wanted and put on an absolute stunning show. Everyone at the wedding had absolutely amazing things to say. I would hire them a million times over to be the band at any event where you want a live band. I can tell you you definitely will not be disappointed. The energy, the commitment, everything was just beyond amazing. Thank you for making the wedding of my family member so incredible.
Kerry & THE ELEVEN BAND,
THANK YOU to you and the band for such an incredible performance at our wedding on October 15 at Hudson House! What a party! The band was tight the entire night and the range of music that you guys played was incredible - everything from Dean Martin to disco to EDM. As you promised, I don’t think I saw an empty dance floor all evening. Thank you also for perfectly executing our special dances!
Without a doubt, best band I’ve ever seen, and we received that exact comment from many of our wedding guests. So many people pulled me aside during the night and asked the same thing: “Where did you find this band, they are incredible!!” (I cleaned up some language there.)
You are a pleasure to work with and the band was such an integral part of a truly unforgettable night for us - thank you again and I would recommend the ELEVEN a thousand times over!
The band made our daughter’s wedding night so high energy and fun. No one got off the dance floor all night. They make old songs sound new and new sound better. If you are lucky enough to get them, run don’t walk!
When someone tells you the night of your wedding the band was great - you have a pretty good band. When someone tells you a week after your wedding the band was great - you had a very good band. When multiple people come up to you more than a month after your wedding telling you how amazing the band was - you had The Eleven at your wedding!
We are now a month post-wedding, and people are still gushing about The Eleven.
We are so lucky and grateful for the opportunity to have them at our wedding.
The band created an atmosphere so electric that I crowd surfed not once but twice at our wedding. If you are one of the few couples lucky enough to book the eleven, you will NOT be disappointed. Simply AMAZING!!
We are searching for an excuse to host another event just to party with The Eleven again.
Thank you to Kerry and the entire band for a night we will never forget. You guys are beyond incredible!!!
The New Authors were fantastic. Kerry was absolutely wonderful to work with, and was incredibly patient as we selected our favorites from their song list, made new song requests, and walked through the timing and logistics of our day. The band's rendition of Take My Name by Parmalee was beautiful and everyone at our wedding raved about how great their voices were. They have a young and vibrant vibe and we are so grateful to have found them!!
The Eleven put on an absolutely INCREDIBLE performance at our wedding. We have received so much positive feedback and almost everyone’s first comment about the wedding was about how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing! (A few examples: “I haven’t had that much fun in years” -- “I’ve never been to a wedding with that many people on the dance floor” -- “Best band I have ever heard at a wedding by far”-- “Absolutely superb band” -- “Dance floor was incredible”).
Having seen The Eleven perform at a friend’s wedding in 2019, they were our first call when we got engaged and we knew they would be great. But the band somehow managed to exceed our expectations and the energy and skill the band brought to the performance made the night so special—we had an absolute blast! It was also such a pleasure working with Kerry throughout the whole process, and we so appreciate the time and preparation The Eleven put in to deliver such a wonderful performance. Highly recommended and we hope to be able to see them again in the future!
The Eleven was AMAZING! I can't say enough good things - from our initial call with Kerry, we knew that her energy would help create an amazing party. Beyond having an incredible talented group, Kerry really excels at customer service - she was so easy to work with, flexible and communicative. Our guests have not stopped asking and raving about the Eleven.
We don’t even know where to begin with The Eleven and there are not enough words to express how grateful we are for our choice. Our wedding was a month ago, and every time someone talks about it the first thing they say is “THE BAND WAS AMAZING!!!” We knew they would be great, but they far exceeded expectations. From the energy, to the insane vocals, they bring it all and truly are incredible and beyond talented. I would hire them over and over again and recommend them to anyone. They are the opposite of cookie cutter — they could honestly be on tour. Besides just the sound, they listened to all our requests, kept everyone up and dancing, and were just an overall pleasure to work with. Thank you The Eleven for making this the most perfect and memorable night ever!!!
We cannot recommend The Eleven band more. Honestly, picking them to be our wedding band was the easiest and BEST decision throughout the entire planning process. The music was perfect, and our friends are still talking about how much the band killed it one month after our event!
Our favorite part about working with The Eleven was how flexible and easy they were to communicate with. From the start, we knew we wanted to work directly with a band rather than go through a larger company. Kerry was ALWAYS available to talk with us whether that be via text or the phone calls, and honestly, she went above and beyond to make sure all of our requests happened. We literally did not have to worry about a thing the night of.
In regards to the night of: The Eleven did an AMAZING job transitioning between songs. There was nonstop music all night, even during meals, and they did a great job reading the room in terms of the songs chosen. Also, if you are picky or particular about the songs you want played, like we were, the process to select what you want to hear was super easy and quite enjoyable. While the list of songs they know is VERY long, they will learn a good number of new songs that you request for your wedding night.
If we could do one thing differently, we would have had the band play for an extra 30 minutes for the after party instead of a DJ. They were THAT good. It definitely doesn't hurt that in the last hour of the event, they played our favorite "rager" type sing-along songs (think the killers, my chemical romance, fall out boy etc.), and even so late into the evening, the momentum continued.
If you are reading this, please do reach out to The Eleven. They are simply the best of the best, and we have been to A LOT of events.
It is hard to put into words how SIMPLY amazing this band is! The Eleven is hands down the best of the best. They are so kind, caring, and professional. My husband and I were originally supposed to get married in November of 2020, but due to COVID, we had a smaller, intimate dinner ceremony and then had our big celebration on November 27 of this year. The Eleven played both of the events and they were a perfect fit for both. Smooth and easy dinner music for 2020 and the total opposite for 2021. They created such an amazing environment for both scenarios, I still cannot wrap my head around it. It's been almost 2 weeks since our wedding day, and people are still reaching out to us and saying how amazing the band was. They do it all -from Whitney Houston to Zedd, Kelly Clarkson to Blink 182. Shout out to Kerry and her crew being absolute and total SAVAGES. They were nonstop the entire night- even when they were eating dinner- they took turns and didn't stop singing. I would recommend them to anyone for ANY event. You need The Eleven in your life...ASAP.
It has been over two months since our wedding and our guests are still raving about The Eleven! We first heard them live at a wedding in New Orleans and said then, long before we were engaged, we had to have them if/when we got married one day!
Kerry is an absolutely amazing band leader. She really took the time and care to get to know our music taste and was always available to answer questions we had along the way. With her in control, I never worried about the entertainment portion of our reception. Kerry advised us to do a short dance set prior to dinner and it was the perfect idea! It gave our guests a taste of the entertainment to come and set the tone for the dancing later in the night.
My husband is an opera singer with very high musical standards. The band's technical talents blew him and all his musician friends away and they even accommodated a special operatic guest. Beyond vocally talented, all of the band members are also incredibly engaging. Throughout the night each band member would periodically jump on the dance floor and engage with individual guests - making for some really fun moments (and amazing photos)!
Hands down, booking The Eleven was the best decision we made.
This is long overdue. The Eleven were possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. It’s been over two years and our family and friends are still talking about how good the band was. The energy they brought to the dance floor was contagious and for those who don’t love dancing, they loved watching as if they were at a concert. We were personally blown away by the songs we asked them to learn and will forever hold a special place in our heart. If you love concerts and dancing, you will not be disappointed. They were also an absolute pleasure to work with and coordinate all of the details of our day. We’ll worth the investment!! Big thank you to Kerry and The Eleven for the incredible memories.
I’ve seen a lot of bands perform at weddings and NYC events where the talent is top notch, and I can confidently say you won’t find a more talented, passionate, group of performers than The Eleven. The voices, energy and musical talents of every member are just insane and will make your wedding feel like a concert! They are not just a band, they’re performers that sing and dance their hearts out, engaging with the crowd all night by jumping on to the dance floor to play the saxophone or sing with guests. Even six months after our wedding, people keep telling us how amazing the band was.
Kerry, the band leader, is the kindest, most positive and talented artist (her voice is just incredible) who takes the time to get to know you as a couple and the music you like. From one conversation you can see how passionate she is about music and creating the most amazing experience for you and your guests. The repertoire of songs they perform is vast and consists of all different genres, something for everyone. They’ll even learn new songs at your request (thank you for the Goonies theme song surprise for my husband!).
The band members are like family, having performed together for years, so they’re truly in sync with each other (unlike other wedding bands that rotate in talent). You can see they have a blast playing together! One of the singers Tatiana sang Ava Maria a capella in Spanish for our ceremony and her voice was absolutely breath taking.
There just aren’t enough words to describe the talent of each and every member of this band. If you want a band that will knock the socks off your guests, keep people on the dance floor all night long and be remembered for years to come, you want The Eleven.
People cannot stop talking about how awesome the band was at our wedding! We felt like we were at a concert! The range of music they can play and level of enthusiasm is unbelievable! We would 100% recommend to anyone who appreciates amazing live music and a fun time!
Don’t give it a second thought, best decision we made for our wedding!
We cannot thank The Eleven enough for truly making our wedding night in Union Station so much fun. We had an incredible time, they made it impossible to leave the dance floor with their high energy talent :) I am not exaggerating when I say there wasn't a guest who didn't mention how much they loved the band. It’s been over a year since our wedding and we seriously still get compliments on this band. It is rare to see a dance floor sooo full, all night! Also, they learned new songs for us in a heartbeat and did them so well including a Mexican wedding traditional song (Víbora de la Mar), Proud Corazón from coco and a few other favorites in Spanish. These were all highlights from our night.
We've had dozens of people tell us that at point during our reception they stopped dancing for a minute or two just to watch the band, they were that good.
They asked us to submit any off book song requests three weeks ahead of the wedding...we submitted our first dance six days before and they picked it up and played it absolutely perfectly.
Basically just a total pleasure to work with and very very high quality.
Kerry and the Eleven started the party and never let the energy dwindle as the night went on. Super energetic, talented entertaining group of people - they are sure to make your event the best it could possibly be!! We’ve had multiple couples book them after our wedding which shows you just how insanely talented they are. Kerry always took the time for a quick call and was organized throughout the entire process. She was very organized and was there to guide us through our timeline. You really feel like you have someone else helping you plan when you book with them. They were flexible and willing to learn our special songs. Personally I think music can make or break an event...if you want the best, book them...and do it fast!
We will definitely be booking them for corporate events and parties in the best future!!
The Eleven is seriously the most AMAZING wedding band! We loved dancing the night away at our wedding. Everyone keeps telling us how amazing the Eleven was at our wedding! Kerry is awesome to work with and listens to all your wants and needs for music! Seriously the best wedding band!
