We first heard the Jack Faulkner Orchestra at a wedding in Philadelphia. We were blown away by their talent and wide array of music. Every song was perfect. We decided to hire Jack for our own wedding and our experience throughout was wonderful. Jack is a pro and really listens to his clients to plan an experience that matches their preferences. We held our wedding in northern NJ on. May 10 and all of our family and friends have not stopped talking about what an amazing band. We highly recommend them!! You won’t be disappointed.
We couldn’t be happier with Jack Faulkner Orchestra ! They played at my sister’s wedding five years ago and were incredible then, but somehow, they were just as good/even better at ours! From the first song to the last, they had everyone on the dance floor. The energy, talent, and vibe they brought were unmatched. They truly know how to read a crowd and keep the party going. I lost count of how many compliments I received about the band—it was clear they made the night unforgettable for everyone! Jack is a joy to work with, and his passion for what he does shines through in every performance. Highly recommend!
Amazing wedding band! So talented and energetic - the dance floor was busy all night! Easy to communicate with and very professional. Would recommend to any bride looking for an awesome wedding band!
Jack and his crew did an unbelievable job. Jack was so easy to work with and made the process easy and enjoyable of nailing down one of the most important parts of the reception - the music. They made it a great party. Jack talked us through every aspect of the reception, worked well with other vendors, listened to our wants, and over-delivered on all of it. We have lost count of how many of our family/friends have told us that we had the best wedding band they have ever heard. Thanks Jack Faulkner Orchestra!
Faulkner is the BEST. Super professional. Great communication. Amazing band + great support leading up the event. Has both aspects of amazing music covered.
The Jack Faulkner Orchestra was the best wedding band I've seen. In the lead up to our wedding, Jack met with us and talked about what we were looking for - what style, what songs, what kind of celebration we wanted to have - and was open to our opinions while also supplying his own take on things that he's seen work best over the years. We found this very helpful, and by the end of our conversations felt very sure we were going to get the atmosphere we were hoping for. Where we didn't have a preference, Jack's decisions were always the right ones.
At the wedding reception, the band was amazing. Everything from their bridal party introduction music to the first dance songs they learned for us (with some customizations included!) to getting everybody out on the dance floor, we wouldn't have changed a thing. They knew every song, they had incredible energy, and were clearly professionals who have been doing this for a long time but haven't lost the excitement of putting on a great show. In the weeks after the wedding, we've gotten innumerable compliments about the band - every person we've talked to has mentioned how people were up dancing before the venue served the salads, and nobody sat down until the final song. I couldn't recommend this band highly enough - we were impressed at every step of the way and every member could get their own review on their musical talent.
We had the absolute pleasure of having the Jack Faulkner Orchestra perform at our wedding, and we cannot express enough how incredible they were throughout the entire process. From the moment we booked them to the last note played at the reception, Jack Faulkner Orchestra exceeded all expectations.
First and foremost, the professionalism and enthusiasm they brought to the planning stages were remarkable. Jack and his team were not just musicians; they were partners in creating the perfect ambiance for our special day. They took the time to understand our musical preferences, worked with us to create a customized playlist, and were open to incorporating special requests that held sentimental value for us.
The night of the wedding was an absolute dream. The moment the Jack Faulkner Orchestra started playing, the atmosphere transformed into one of pure magic. Their musical prowess was evident from the first note, and it set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The versatility of the band was astonishing, seamlessly transitioning between genres and eras, ensuring that every guest, regardless of age or taste, found themselves on the dance floor.
And what a dance floor it was! From the very beginning to the final encore, the energy was electric, and the dance floor was never empty. The Jack Faulkner Orchestra had an innate ability to gauge the crowd and adjust their performance to keep the party alive. Their infectious energy and dynamic stage presence created an atmosphere of joy and celebration that resonated with every guest.
The musicianship displayed by each member of the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was truly exceptional. The talent and passion for their craft were evident in every note played. The seamless transitions between songs and the flawless execution of both classic hits and contemporary tunes showcased the depth of their musical expertise.
In addition to their musical brilliance, the band members were a joy to work with. Their friendly and accommodating nature made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. It felt like they were not just performers but friends who genuinely wanted to contribute to the success of our wedding day.
If you're looking for a wedding band that goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, look no further than the Jack Faulkner Orchestra. Their professionalism, musical prowess, and ability to create an atmosphere of pure joy are unparalleled. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them, and we are forever grateful for the memories they helped create. The Jack Faulkner Orchestra is, without a doubt, the secret ingredient to turning a special day into an extraordinary one
We booked Jack only based on word of mouth recommendations and watching some content from previous events, so naturally we weren’t 100% sure what to expect. They absolutely delivered on our wedding day! The dance floor was never empty and everyone had a blast! We got so many compliments on our band. They played so many classics, but had such a cool sound, and it never felt like we were listening to a cheesy wedding band. Jack was also so great to work with leading up to the big day - he took time to meet with us in person to discuss our do/don’t play lists, order of events, and made sure our timeline was on track. Can’t thank Jack and the band enough for making our wedding night such a blast!!
Incredible! Jack was in touch with us every step of the way, was receptive to our song suggestions, provided invaluable advice, and the band rocked the house come wedding time. They were the highlight of our wedding and the dance floor was always packed. It was everything we could’ve asked for. We could not recommend them more highly - everyone was remarkably talented and put on a show.
Your band is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I hope you are still doing this for the next wedding I plan!!! Your advice on the flow of the evening was spot on. Everyone is still telling me how fantastic the band was. You kept people dancing just like you promised!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
The Jack Faulkner Orchestra sounded fantastic. Our guests were dancing from the first song of the evening until the last. So many of our guests told us that they were so impressed with the band. With twelve band members and several singers, the Jack Faulkner Orchestra made each song sound very different from the previous one. We knew from watching the YouTube videos that the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was a great choice. Hearing the band live blew us away and exceeded even our high expectations.
We also appreciated the music before the ceremony, during the reception and dinner. The music was perfect for each specific wedding event. In addition, Jack Falkner did a great job as MC during dinner. Lastly, the quality of the sound system for the wedding ceremony and the speeches during dinner was excellent.
We have nothing but wonderful wedding memories. The Jack Faulkner Orchestra was one of the key contributors to this fantastic wedding day. We are very happy and grateful. We want to thank all Jack Faulkner Orchestra members for their superb contributions to a great wedding.
Truly the best band ever. Played incredible music and kept the party going from start to finish. People could not stop raving about how fantastic they were. They truly made the entire wedding. Cannot recommend them enough!
Jack Faulkner Orchestra did an outstanding job at our daughter’s wedding. Prior to the event, he communicated with us several times about our goals and expectations, and gave us great advice and insights. And the night of the event, his band was simply amazing. Several guests told us they were the best band they had ever heard. They played for over two hours straight, and the dance floor was packed the entire nights. We could not be more pleased.
Having never heard the Jack Faulkner Orchestra in person I was a bit skeptical. I soon became aware I was wasting my emotional psyche on being apprehensive. Many of our guests were musicians themselves and they were in awe of the musicianship of this orchestra. Our guests were raving about the orchestra the night of the wedding and still a week later and I expect a month from now. Amazing, fabulous, unbelievable were some of the accolades.
Jack and company came through without a hitch when the soloist who was to perform the processional could not attend.
Jack is very willing to listen to your ideas and desires and execute them. Do not look any further…Jack Faulkner Orchestra will take your wedding to another level.
Jack and the team are amazing!!! We and our guests were dancing all night long! We keep getting messages from our guests sharing how incredible the band was at our wedding.
What an absolute treat! Music was such a priority for our wedding that I knew that whomever we hired had to bring down the house. And did Jack and his band do exactly that.
From our first conversation over the phone, to our constant texting and emailing, I had a feeling that Jack knew his stuff, was able to back up his talk, and absolutely deliver. He knew exactly what type of music we wanted and was even entertaining the ideas of some genres and themes we wanted sprinkled in throughout the night.
What's also impressive about Jack was his willingness to adapt on the fly. We had a brief miscommunication regarding our processing order for the reception, but Jack was able to work with our venue and pulled everything together within minutes.
But that's not all. When my wife and I told Jack about all of our dance requests (first dance, mother/son, father/daughter) he was attentive and understanding, taking note of the exact transitions and nuances. When we performed everything on our wedding night, we couldn't have been more thrilled with how those turned out.
And finally, Jack and his team were just dynamite. I've never heard so many people come up to me during the reception and even after claiming that they were the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. From the vocals to the musicianship, they were top notch any way you looked at it.
I grew up as a musician, so I held myself to a high standard for picking the music for our big day. Jack and his band not only did they meet that standard, they crashed right through it. Thank you, Jack, for being the life of our incredible party.
Jack and his whole team were nothing short of amazing!! We asked them to keep the party going all night and they definitely delivered! No one left the dance floor all night! So many people told us the band was the best part of our wedding and one couple even asked if they would travel to Virginia for their daughters wedding. Book them, now, you will not be disappointed!!
Jack Faulkner was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. The band is incredible and was very flexible amidst our having to plan around the pandemic. The band's repertoire includes a wide range of music genres that kept everyone on the dance floor having an amazing time. Jack serves as a wonderful MC, was highly attentive and thoughtful throughout the night, and ensured that there was live music playing at all times. Jack was very helpful leading up to the wedding in designing the flow for the evening and provided us with a very memorable first dance song. We still get compliments almost a year later about how fantastic the band was.
If you want your guests on the dance floor all night - look no further! Jack Faulkner and his incredible team made our wedding night so memorable! Their professionalism and expertise was outstanding leading up to our wedding night. Jack's experience and passion made the preparation process seamless and stress free. Our guests raved about them for weeks after our event and we are so incredibly thankful for all Jack did to make our night so much fun!! We highly recommend The Jack Faulkner Orchestra for your next event!
This band is hands down the best around. Jack is professional, kind and detailed oriented. We were supposed to get married March 2020 and due to COVID, had to reschedule to September 2021. He was so accommodating and understanding. Our guests danced the night away…everyone still talks about how amazing the band is/ was.
"That band was amazing" was our most received compliment the morning after our wedding. I promise, Jack and his band really are the best in every way. Our wedding was an absolute dream and the dance floor was unmatched to any other wedding we've been to! Jack's band is compromised of true professionals, each member is wildly talented and it shines through in their performance. Book them as soon as you can!
You should absolutely book Jack and his band for your wedding, not only because they are impressive professional musicians, but also because Jack takes such time and care to communicate and plan with his clients. After speaking with Jack and communicating our musical tastes in the months leading up to our wedding, Jack and the band knocked the ball out of the park. They played such a focused an on-point repertoire that brought the funky and soulful energy that we craved. Through all the uncertainty and confusion in the months leading up to our wedding, Jack was a constant source of patience and reassurance. Not only will Jack keep your reception bumping all night, he will also help you realize and execute your vision for the wedding of your dreams. Thanks to Jack and the Band!
Booking Jack Faulkner Orchestra was easily the best decision we could've made for our wedding. Music was one of the most important things to us so we really took our time and did a ton of research around the Philadelphia area to make sure we found the best. From the first call with Jack, he made every single planning component a breeze. During the stresses of planning a wedding during COVID, I found myself listening to the JFO showcase video to get me even more excited for our wedding.
Come day of, all of the music and energy was perfect! The ceremony and cocktail hour music was exactly what we had hoped for. Now the reception... it was next level! We had our guests coming up to us the whole night raving about the band (and we still do weeks later). Jack Faulkner knows how to throw one heck of a party! We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Jack Faulkner Orchestra, do not wait to book them!
BOOK them!!! If they are within your budget, you will be over the moon that you were lucky enough to have them play your wedding. They played at a sibling’s wedding, and while we listened to several other bands in NYC and Philly, in the end, we just had to get the Jack Faulkner Band. Jack even kindly worked with us on our budget so that we could book them. We heard non-stop compliments on the band throughout the night and afterwards. They had our dance floor jam packed all night long. Even friends and family I’d never seen get on a the dance floor were ready to dance and sing with this band. Jack was also a great MC and has so much experience in guiding the night smoothly (from meeting with us in NYC to discuss the evening, to answering all our questions, to taking the temperature of the room to know what to play and what time). Their repertoire is huge, and even learned new music for our first dance. All around fabulous.
WOW! Jack Faulkner and his team were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! They kept the dance floor packed the entire night and knew exactly what music to play. Highly recommend JFO to anyone looking for a wedding where your guests will enjoying breaking it down and busting some moves. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day one we will never forget!!!
I could not have asked for a better musical experience at our wedding. A band can certainly make or break the event, and The Jack Faulkner Orchestra did not disappoint. They had our entire wedding dancing from the start and no one left the dance floor all night. They were worth every penny. I can't recommend The Jack Faulkner Orchestra enough.
Best wedding and band EVER!
When I went to a friend’s wedding who had the Jack Faulkner Orchestra as their band, I knew right then and there I had to have them when I got married. Fast forward two years and I was engaged and planning a wedding, and I knew the first thing (besides the venue) that I had to book.
I got Jack’s contact info from my friend and reached out immediately. Luckily they were available on our big day. The entire process was super easy as Jack is very responsive and easy to work with. He walks you through each step and makes sure you are comfortable, and the contract was by far the simplest out of any vendor we used. He also meets up with you a month or so before the wedding to go over your first dance, father/daughter dance, and any special song requests or must haves.
When the wedding finally came, they did not disappoint. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, all the way through the reception, Jack and his band killed it. They play a variety of songs from classics like Frank Sinatra all the way to modern wedding songs like Bruno Mars. We didn’t have to pick the set list because he is a complete professional. He knows what will get the party started and keep people on the dance floor all night.
When I say people were dancing all night, I mean ALL night. I’ve never seen a wedding where people stayed on the dance floor from start to finish. People were so impressed and we got so many compliments on the band. We even had a guest that thought it was a track instead of a live performance, because the first few songs were so on point.
Bottom line if you want to ensure you have the best wedding day possible, contact Jack Faulkner. If you want wedding insurance, and by that I mean there is zero chance it won’t be a blast, then contact Jack. I can’t say enough and can’t wait until one of my friends gets married so I have a chance to see Jack again. Thank you for the most amazing time!
We honestly didn't know where to begin searching for wedding bands. When we stumbled upon the Jack Faulkner Orchestra, we knew almost immediately because they stood out from the rest. After speaking directly with Jack, we knew we had made the right decision! He made the entire process so easy and relaxed. He answered every single question we had and worked through our wedding timeline with ease.
The night of the wedding was absolutely perfect! We got millions of compliments from the guests about how much fun they had and how amazing our band was. When Jack tells you that your guests feet will hurt from dancing all night – he means it!
One last note – the Jack Faulkner Band does not stop playing the entire night. There were no awkward band interruptions which meant the entire evening flowed seamlessly for everyone. Our wedding night was amazing and a HUGE part of that is because of this great band!
Where do I start!? The Jack Faulkner Orchestra should be your wedding band and I'm so happy (as were our guests) that they were ours! Jack is a pro and genuinely a great guy to work with throughout. My husband and I met with Jack and he spent time to get to know us and it showed at the wedding. He remembered the story of my song with my dad! Once song after the next was spot on and had our guests dancing all night long! All.Night.Long.
This is the 3rd wedding Jack has done for my family and each time I think he is better. We even had a guest from Australia ask Jack & band if they would go to Australia and do his daughter's wedding! Needless to say, they were awesome and we cannot recommend the Jack Faulkner Orchestra enough.
During one meeting with Jack prior to our wedding he promised that our guests feet would hurt the next day from dancing so much. After an amazing night where we got tons of compliments on the band, we can say for sure that Jack was true to his word. After watching videos for a few different bands, we knew when we saw the Jack Faulkner Orchestra that we wanted them - their energy and sound was just the best that we saw. Jack met with us multiple times before our wedding to get every little detail of names, special requests, and even a custom intro song that we wanted (which the band nailed by the way). We really can't say enough about how great the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was, and we'd highly recommend them.
Jack and his Orchestra are amazing. Can't say enough about how great they were. Amazing, talented crew that really know how to throw a party. Everyone was talking about how great the band was even weeks after our wedding. They kept the dance floor packed and everyone loved the music. Was a little nervous at first that most of the reviews were from a few years ago, but Jack's Orchestra was spectacular and we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with him. Thanks for the best night ever! (Sept. 2018)
If you're considering Jack Faulkner and his amazing orchestra. Stop all the consideration and choose Jack! THIS is the band you want at your wedding.
I guarantee you that all of your guests will be singing, dancing, and having a GREAT time with this band. Our wedding was about a month ago and people are STILL talking about what a great time our wedding reception is. Some people have even been looking up where they can see them perform next.
We even worked with Jack to provide music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the full band for the reception.
Honestly, Jack does NOT over promise. If he says the dance floor will be filled, he's 100% right.
Thanks Jack and crew - you were all AMAZING.
I can't say enough good things about The Jack Faulkner Orchestra! Jack kept in constant contact with us during our planning process. He provided us sample music as well as inviting us to listen to him live when he was playing. My husband and I met with him a couple times over the course of our planning and reviewed song choices and the schedule of our reception. Jack was nothing short of amazing and attentive and helped us relax and enjoy our day. Our guests did not stop dancing from the moment our reception started until the end of the night! Great selection of music and such talented singers to keep everyone on their feet. We have had family members use Jack and his orchestra and Jack remembered them and their first dance songs. We are now attending a friends wedding where The Jack Faulkner Orchestra will be playing and we can't wait!! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a band.
My husband and I can't say enough good things about Jack and his band!! Jack met with my husband and I a few times over the course of our planning to go over songs and discuss the outline for the reception. Jack made us feel so comfortable and confident that we knew we wouldn't have to worry about anything the day of our wedding and we didn't! They had our guests up dancing from the moment our reception started until the end of the night! The talent they possess and the professionalism displayed truly made our night memorable. They are now playing at a friends upcoming wedding and we can't wait to hear them again!
Really cannot say enough good things about Jack and the band. First off, he played at my sister's wedding over ten years ago, and was so good he ended up subsequently playing a number of friends' and family members' weddings since then. We also had quite a few guests at our wedding ask us for his contact so they could reach out to him to perform at other events.
Aside from being extremely extremely talented musically (they learned an obscure first dance song for us, which was so good that during the dance I had to look over to see if it was just a CD (it was not, they were playing live)), they are all complete professionals. Jack nailed every step of the wedding, and pretty much acted as the MC as well by keeping the night moving and the energy up, which was not only nice for our guests, but also took a huge load off our minds during the reception itself knowing that we were in such good hands. Well worth the price.
Jack was great to work with. We had heard the band at one of their showcases and immediately booked them. We met with Jack a few times to go through the songs and musical choices we were interested in having at our wedding. Jack was very focused on being inclusive to all the different types of people and age groups at the wedding. It paid off- the entire night everyone was dancing- our friends, our parents friends at the same time. Following the wedding multiple guests told me that was the best wedding band they had ever heard! Jack and the band learned all of our dance songs well so we could peform our first dance the way we wanted. Thank you Jack- what a great night!
We cannot say enough good things about Jack and the band!! Nearly one year after our wedding, it's still all anyone can talk about.
We planned our wedding from afar, and Jack had come recommended by two friends as a "must hire" for our wedding. The one catch is that we had never heard him play! However, after some googling and reading reviews, we knew Jack and his band needed to be a part of our wedding. We are so pleased - and thankful! - to them for making our wedding so special.
When we were looking for bands, my fiance and I reached out to the Jack Faulkner Band and wanted to hear some preview music. Not only did he send us links of music but he invited us to another wedding (with permission!) and we were sold within the first 5 minutes.
The Jack Faulkner Band did a PHENOMENAL job at our wedding. We met with him a couple times beforehand and Jack was very responsive and timely with answering questions. He told us the band didn't take breaks and continuous music would be played and this was spot on. The 11 piece band had EVERYONE on the dance floor and the music they played was fantastic. I would recommend this band to any bride or groom.
Jack and his orchestra were awesome! My husband and I were trying to find the perfect band for our June wedding. Jack responded right away to our request for information and met us in person shortly thereafter. He followed up right away and made every step of the booking process easy, from choosing songs to helping us decide the order of the evening. The band played all of our requests, including Jewish music as well as rock classics and modern songs. And Jack was a great master of ceremony! Many people at the wedding commented on how amazing the band was. We're so happy we chose the Jack Faulkner Orchestra!
My family and I had a phenomenal experience with Jack and Jack Faulkner Orchestra. From the outset, Jack was incredibly responsive - setting up phone calls with my family and inviting us to a practice for our own personal showcase. After hearing the band play ~20 songs in 20 minutes, we signed a contract with Jack for significantly less than we would have had to pay to go through a booking agency.
Jack kept in touch throughout our engagement, putting together multiple versions of mashups for the Father-Daughter Dance and First Dance so that we would feel comfortable at our wedding reception. He even visited my family's home to personally discuss the type of music we wanted and the flow of the reception. We left most of the music to Jack's discretion (the band did learn a couple songs for us at our request), and we were thrilled with the result. Everyone, including our New York City- and Boston-based fans raved about how it was the best band they had heard at a wedding, and relatives we have never seen dance were on the floor for much of the night. Jack even performed a guitar solo during dinner...band members take breaks, but the band itself never stops playing! Jack's radio voice was perfect for directing toasts, photos, and meals. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to Jack and the band for a great night and one less thing to worry about throughout the planning process.
It all started about 3 years ago, before I even met my now husband. My mother was at a wedding where Jack Faulkner Orchestra was performing, and they were so great that she decided to take their card. Fast forward to 11/22/14, and we are still catching our breath from the non-stop dance fest at our wedding. From the very beginning of the planning process, Jack was accommodating and professional. Even though we lived in central NJ, Jack made several visits in order to first meet us and tell us about his orchestra, and then to collaborate with us to create the party of our dreams. We were immediately amazed by his vast knowledge and experience. We wanted unique processional music, and the band simply nailed it. Our goal was to have a night of nonstop energy, and that's what we got - the dance floor was packed the entire night. He is so aware of the natural flow of energy that exists and is able to provide the genre of music accordingly. We were so touched and amazed that Jack picked up on conversations that we had about songs we love, even classic rock songs, and surprised us with unique renditions of them throughout the night, even during meal times (shout out to Jack's solo performance of Thunder Road by Bruce Springstein). Being a Jewish couple, we had some initial concerns about their ability to knock out a hard core horah, but after 15 minutes of chair lifting, mosh pitting, and spinning in circles, people were still going. They simply know how to read their crowd. We are a very high energy couple who LOVES to dance, with guests who were equally as insane, and he had everyone out of their chairs, singing, dancing, and bouncing around the entire night. From old classics like SHOUT! to recent hits like Shake It Off (by Taylor Swift), to their rapping abilities in Can't Hold Us, we were convinced that there's nothing they can't do justice to. A week later, people are still asking us who our band was and talking about how they created a stellar party.
This band will make your wedding. Seriously, it will be non-stop dancing, fun, and the best night of your life. People are still talking about my wedding and how the band was one of the best bands they ever saw! Jack Faulkner is absolutely amazing and knows how to get a party started (and keep it going). The range of talent is crazy - from pop to swing to rock and roll - they do it all and PERFECTLY.
Jack Faulkner even learned an unknown version of a song for our first dance and NAILED it!! One of the best decisions made about my wedding was hiring Jack Faulkner Orchestra!
My brother and his wife had the Jack Faulkner Orchestra three years ago for their wedding in New Hope, PA. They played so well that my wife and I hired Jack to play our wedding two weeks ago in Philadelphia. Jack and the band took care of every musical detail including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. Jack played music from every decade (60’s on) and had the dance floor full the entire night. Jack met us downtown a few times prior to the wedding to review and walk us through timelines, sequencing, and songs. The band learned a difficult song for our first dance and played it really well. Each band member was really set on getting everyone to dance and felt they really cared about making our night special. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and have The Jack Faulkner Orchestra to thank for setting the tone. Lot’s of people have been asking us who the band was and told us they were terrific.
I can’t say enough good things about Jack and how not only did he play great music and got everyone to dance, but he set the tempo for the wedding itself and helped it flow seamlessly from one event to another (intros, first dance, eating, speeches, cake cutting, etc). My wife and I are really happy we chose The Jack Faulkner Orchestra and would highly recommend the band to anyone who is in the market for a great band.
My wife and I probably couldn't have been happier with our experience with the Jack Faulkner Orchestra. They came highly recommended from several friends and co-workers and did not disappoint. Jack definitely made an effort to meet the both of us and get to know our background, style and preferences. We had several requests outside of the "normal" wedding music and he and the band happily played them all. Jack also sat down with us and reviewed our timeline several times to make sure the flow of the evening and mood of the evening was what we wanted.
Come wedding day, Jack and the band exceeded expectations. It only took about 5 minutes into the reception before my wife and I looked at each other and said "Worth every penny". Our entire group of family and friends danced all night, and the band played music from every generation without missing a beat. At times it felt like we were at a concert in all the best ways. Our only regret was that we weren't guests at our own wedding and able to spend all night dancing.
My mom had been to two weddings who had the Jack Faulkner Orchestra play and she highly recommended them. Without even hearing them myself, my fiance and I decided to book them. Jack was great, he sent video clips to us of shows they had put on. As the wedding day came closer and closer I honestly started to get a bit of anxiety about the band, only because I had never heard them first hand. BUT...their instruments, their amazing voices singing a WIDE array of music all of which I absolutely loved, ability to engage the crowd, etc EVERYTHING was beyond amazing. They had a three piece play for the cocktail hour and then they totally got the party going (and kept it going) until we were literally all kicked out of the venue at the end of the night. They played everything from the classic Sinatra wedding tunes to the "on the radio TODAY" new main stream music, and everything in between.
I had been looking at the mainstream wedding bands prior to booking with Jack. All were around $10,000 and I just couldn't wrap my mind around spending that for a band. Jack was affordable and I am so happy we went with them because they truly made the reception! They are truly a unique group. We had 260 guests at our wedding and everyone loved the music and entertainment. So many people were asking about the band and planning to use them in the future.
I can't say enough about the Jack Faulkner Orchestra. Top of the line music, top of the line fun, top of the line entertainment at a cost that is doable! They do not disappoint!
Great music and everyone danced the entire time!
We did not use the orchestra live, but we did use Jack's DJ services. He was very easy to work with. I had a vision but had a hard time conveying it and he was great at asking the right questions to nail down what I really wanted. Jack played a range of music at our wedding that had every age up and dancing. He allowed for audience requests but also honored my do not play and must play list. Jack did not talk too much like some annoying DJs. At the wedding he checked in with me once or twice which was reassuring and helped me know he was there to make me happy. Music was the most important aspect for the groom and Jack did an excellent job responding to our needs, being classy and he knows his music. Thanks so much for making our wedding a memorable party!

PHENOMENAL!!!! Line up as early as possible because they get booked fast! They've played at 3 of 4 siblings weddings. Excellent singers, instrumentalists. Jazz pianist for cocktail hour was terrific! Easy to work with and totally worth the money!!! Guests danced the night away- that's the sign that everyone had a great time.
