The Jack Faulkner Orchestra

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.

azing 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!

ry 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.

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.

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!

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!

money!!! Guests danced the night away- that's the sign that everyone had a great time.
