The Joel Young Band

ng guests dancing the night away. They played a variety of different music and sounded great during every song. We got nothing but great comments and compliments about the band from our guests. I would highly recommended them.

ction was perfect! everyone had a great time and danced the entire night! if you have the opportunity to have joel perform at your wedding or event, you will not be disappointed.

rgy and knew how to read the room. They stuck to our schedule and were great MCs for the events, and they added all kinds of touches to make the night special. They got the crowd going, and played to different age groups across the course of the night. They had a great rendition of our first dance song and played all the songs on our list. They loved the crowd and the crowd loved them back!! We had an amazing time, and we’d hire them again in a heartbeat. We’ll be recommending them for every one of our friends’ weddings!

ing!! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night!!

nd made everyone feel special!

e dance floor! This band is all winners! Leading up to wedding they Responded to every text, phone call, and email immediately, were very professional, and knowledgeable, they know what their doing and how to do it!

r wedding could not stop dancing. Over 4 hours of incredibly fun music. This group knows how to keep a party going and how to create the most fun environment possible. They even had to start playing some easier music just so people would get off the dance floor and eat! Joel Young Band was also so receptive to our requests, from special songs to a music-based game we wanted to play before our cake-cutting ceremony, to even allowing our cousin to play the drums with them for a song or two...the night was made even more perfect because of this phenomenal group. Getting this band for your wedding should be the easiest decision for your special day!

d as guests entered cocktail hour on the venues baby gran piano and during cocktail hour. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with The Joel Young Band, our guests are still raving about their talent and we did not leave the dance floor. Thank you for a night we will always remember.

oughout the whole process. Definitely recommend!!

process quick and easy. He got back to us almost immediately after we first reached out, the deposits were reasonable and easy to pay, and Joel was always quick to respond to any last minute questions or concerns leading up to the wedding date. Joel and the rest of the band even allowed my wife's cousin and brother in-law (both musicians) to join them on stage for two songs during the reception and could not have been more accommodating. Our wedding was the first time my wife saw them perform but I had seen them twice before and they were every bit as good as I remembered. They absolutely crushed it at our reception and the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. The band had an awesome stage presence and knew which songs to play and when. Almost everyone I talked to during the reception/after party and since, has had nothing but the highest praise for Joel and all of his bandmates and their energy. Guests have asked how we found our band and want to book them for their weddings/ events. Hiring the Joel Young Band was definitely one of the best decisions my wife and I made when planning our wedding!

some to work with. He was so understanding when we had to reschedule due to covid, and then once the wedding got closer he helped us lay out the evening including letting us choose songs. They played songs we requested and felt out the vibe of our crowd to make sure everyone was on the dance floor and having a GREAT time. They’re high energy, interact with the crowd and had our guests cheering for an encore at the end!! Multiple of our guests have asked for the band info. We had high expectations and they completely exceeded them. If you’re considering hiring The Joel Young Band- do it, I can’t recommend them enough!!!

ked for Grateful Dead songs for my husband and they honored this request and did an amazing job! It was like a live concert and he couldn’t be happier! They played songs from every decade and made sure everyone was dancing the entire night. The guests were so impressed and keep asking me where I found this band! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!!

spice martinis at cocktail hour might have loosened everyone up, but you guys crushed it. Numerous guests went out of their way to tell me that it was the best music they’ve heard at a wedding. Very few bands could pull off a playlist that kept everyone dancing from my lieutenants in their early 20s to my 92 year old grandfather and everyone in between for literally the entire duration of the wedding. Your enthusiasm, energy, and passion for what you do was apparent the entire evening. Thanks again! - Chris & Sarah

nd there was never any dead spots. If you're looking for a band, hire them! If you're looking for a stress-free situation, hire them! I can't thank them enough. Also my wife can't stop talking about the light up guitar.

themselves and had nothing but the best to say about this band. I will certainly be hiring them for my daughter‘s wedding. I want to thank them for making my son‘s wedding a very memorable event.

wasn’t an easy year to plan a wedding, and when we decided to reschedule Joel was extremely accommodating as we selected a new date for June 2021. From the ceremony to our first dances to the hora and beyond, Joel understood our vision for the day and the band’s energy and performance were nothing short of amazing. I hope we get to dance the night away with them again soon!

our day would not have been the same without them. They brought the party, kept the energy level high, engaged the crowd and ran things smoothly all night. We are forever thankful!

another feeling when you get messages from all your friends and family telling you they felt the same way. Everyone loved the music! No one left the dance floor! It was such a memorable night and we owe all the good vibes to you. Thank you again for making our night so magical. We will be recommending you to everyone! Hope we cross paths again in the future! Thanks! Michael and Maria

and hearing about them from our friends. We have a very diverse and eclectic taste in music, and they delivered the right songs, at the right time, all night!! Motown, 80s, 90s, top 40 - every song they played was perfectly timed and perfectly executed. The energy on the dance floor was electric all night. It’s months later, and our guests are still raving about the band. I hope we have another chance to hear them play, because one time isn't enough. Thank you so much to The Joel Young Band

lly the unforgettable party, you were so amazing. Thanks for your guidance on entertainment in the months prior, your perfect execution of our specialty song choices. Thanks for making our Aunt Sophie feel like a queen on the floor with that romantic Engelbert Humperdink song! She knew you learned that old forgotten song for her, and she was honored you took the time to learn it [I know you’ll never play it again] and she thrilled to dance to it. We trusted you with the most important night of our lives and you were perfect! Please let us know when you are playing in NJ!

have been happier with that decision! Great selection of songs, amazing energy, all smiles on the dance floor. The dance floor remained crowded throughout our affair, they played dance classics and new stuff, and slow dance songs with excellent authenticity and flare. Family and friends said it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! From the start, Joel and George were easy to reach and prompt to respond. As the wedding date approached, they worked with us to plan the night, in fact, everything we planned went perfectly without a hitch. Easy going, respectful to our family and wishes, and crazy on the dance floor, these guys are a must, 5+ star!

perfect! I cannot imagine having had my wedding without them. They can sing any song and play any type of music. The band members danced and came into the middle of the dance floor for sax and guitar solos. They really made us feel like we were at a super fun concert! Joel is an amazing MC and created a great flow throughout the entire evening. He did not miss a beat! We’ve received SO MANY compliments from our guests on the band. To be completely honest, I've received more compliments on my band than on my wedding dress! You can't go wrong if you hire the Joel Young Band, they are so much more fun than any other band or DJ I've seen! Love, Erika and Matt

y AMAZING - we couldn’t have been happier. People are still calling us to tell us how much they “enjoyed the band.” Joel and the band had so much fun with the crowd, even the Maître D’ told us how great they were. We will never forget how amazing they made our wedding Melissa ~

e best wedding band they had ever seen, and they recommended that we hire them. We did, and I cannot express how amazingly incredible they are. This band is out of control amazing. Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night and we got more compliments than I can count. The music mix was spot on, they can play anything, and they simply made the night. If you want a night that your guests will never ever forget, this is the band to get! We had people ask for their card at the end of the night and so many people told us that they wished they would have known about them for their own weddings. Joel Young band we love you! Thank you for making our wedding a night that we and our guests will remember for a lifetime! Erica and Matt

le wedding process…Now months later, people are still telling us how much they enjoyed the band. Joel and his band-mates were so kind and wonderful to work with. We cannot say enough good things about them! They made our wedding so special

e used the band for their own wedding or a family member's wedding. It was absolutely the best decision we made. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this band!

ut the band. They sounded spot on with all the songs. We are big music fans and the band killed it on every single song. All the guests, young and old, never left the dance floor because the band knows how to put together a great set. One amazing things about the band is that if there is a special song you are thinking of, they can learn it. We picked a unique Coheed and Cambria song for our first dance and they outdid themselves. It was a very special moment for us that wouldn't have been possible with another band. You will not regret booking the Joel Young Band for your special event.

as the most enjoyable reception they've been to. The music was exactly what we wanted and requested, the love and passion for what they do carried throughout the room and even the most reluctant of dancers hit the dance floor! As a lesbian couple we were concerned about having an open an accepting environment and these guys were like family instantly. I would hire them again and again. Thank you for the memories ((())) !

name and commenting that we had the best wedding band they've ever heard. We had 230 guests and the dance floor was packed the entire night, we had a blast with them performing. Not only is the band amazing, they were very accommodating to all of our requests and were very easy to work with. You will not be disappointed if you go with Joel Young, I cannot recommend them enough!

he level of skill and professionalism they possess made everything seamless. They went above and beyond for us and tailored so many aspects that made the day unique and personal for us - from the personalized ceremony to playing a special song for our long-distance traveler. They even played Brandy with our surprise guest Dube on the drums!! The crowd went absolutely wild with excitement! Because of these guys, this was the best night of our lives. To wrap up the night, they played by husband’s favorite band – Zac Brown Band, and had him come up to sing! His aunt came up to me later in the night to tell me he was so good that he should be on the Voice. (I wouldn’t go that far… but it was pretty good.) My husband was on cloud 9 after that. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We absolutely loved them! Thank you again for everything!!

nd the band were energetic, sentimental and made the evening flow just beautifully. Our guests had such a fantastic time, our family friends hired them for their wedding afterwards. Beyond professional and such high quality performers. We'll hire them again when we renew our vows.

me. They played everything from classic hits to current pop. I would hire the Joel Young Band again in a heart beat. Hire them if you want the best music at your event.

sent in my requests, and types of songs I like and they did not disappoint! We loved them so much, that they played my sister's wedding 3 years later!

sound and great energy.

ding favorites! They also don’t shy away from learning new material-my husband and I will forever be grateful that they learned a special Dean Martin time for our first dance. I cannot recommend them more!

l Young Band and what I could expect from them. They played classical music for our ceremony (and I chose difficult music! No "Cannon in D" here!), acoustic for our cocktail hour, and then full party music for the entirety of the reception. I'm not exaggerating when I say that they NEVER stopped playing music. Even when they ate dinner, they did so in shifts in order to keep the music going. They handled the transitions of the night effortlessly (announcing the bridal party, allowing for speeches, cake cutting, ect.) and I never once felt an awkward pause the entire night. They were there from 6pm to 2am. They learned songs that I requested that weren't in their repertoire. They had people dancing all night long. If people started scattering off the dance floor, they'd change the music immediately to get people back on the floor. We were married two and a half years ago and I still have people talking about our wedding and how amazing the band was. My husband and I were the last people to leave the reception. Before leaving, we had this exchange with the band: Me: "Thank you so much, you're incredible. Easily the best decision I've ever made." JYB: "What about this lovely man you just married?" Me: "Nope. I stand by my comment." Who you hire to do your music for your reception isn't just about the music. They're the ones responsible for the logistics of your reception. They keep things moving and on time. Be sure you're hiring professionals. This group is Professional with a capital P. I can't say enough good things about them!

ght to our wedding. The band was extremely professional and very friendly. Whatever you asked of them they delivered and were very amenable to music requests.

e Joel Young Band. They were able to get everyone up dancing and having a great time!

o learn an obscure version of our first dance song that we wanted. They played a wide variety of muisic and our guests enjoyed dancing so much they didn’t want to leave the dance floor. We can’t say enough good things about this fantastic band. If your looking to have an amazing time at your wedding Joel Young should be your #1 choice.

e perfect music and kept everyone dancing on the dance floor all night long. They really helped make our day so memorable! If you can, book The Joel Young Band!!!

any bands can be, they got all of my guests up and dancing, they had the perfect song for each moment of the wedding and each member of the band was so nice ! While planning our wedding my husband and I did not give too many specific songs we wanted played at the wedding instead we told the band genres that we love and the band hit the nail on the head, I specifically remember while eating the main course my husbans and I singing and dancing in our seats while eating. I highly recommend the Joel young band for any special event !

y single one. From the very beginning, Joel was a pleasure to work with - accommodating, professional, and friendly. For starters, the song we wanted for our first dance was not a typical song performed by dance bands.Joel and his crew learned it for us, perfected it, and performed it in a flawless fashion. The bass player even offered me the lead sheet he used after the wedding as a keepsake. My wife, father-in-law, and I wanted to perform with the band, which Joel and his crew accommodated and welcomed. They learned the song we wanted to perform and made it possible to shine on our big night. Joel offered his guitar and amp to my father-in-law, which was very accommodating. The performance energy and output from this band was like nothing I have seen at any affair I have ever been to. Our guests interacted with the band in a way that more closely resembles a concert then a wedding. That exchange of energy, which Joel made possible, only elevated the experience for our guests. Our guests have been telling us since we were married two years ago that our wedding was one of the most fun they have attended, and I owe much of that to Joel and his crew. Any wedding band you hire will be able to hit the right notes, but not just anyone will be able to strike the right chord for you and your future spouse, your family, and friends. I'm attaching a short clip of the bride singing, the groom on keys, and father-in-law on guitar. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JZO4ZmldrBE?start=46&end=88&version=3

unmatchable, and the level of professionalism was par none. These are true musicians and professionals. If you're looking for the time of your life at your wedding, these are the people you want entertaining your guests. It's been years since our wedding, and I still have people saying that this was the best band they've ever, ever heard. I can't wait to find an excuse to hire this unbelievable group of people again.
