We just had the Joel Young Band at our 10/14/23 wedding, and they were an absolute HIT! We got compliments on them all night long. I'd booked them after my sister did for her 2022 wedding, where they were also a huge success. Super easy to co...
mmunicate with during the planning process, and they absolutely brought the fun day-of. They even learned a song in Italian for us because we had family flying in from Italy! Our dance floor was packed truly all night long, every song, every genre, every decade of music, didn't matter! People, myself included, really enjoyed when members of the band came out to the floor, especially during the Piano Man sing-a-long! Absolutely a 10/10 must-book vendor - you won't be disappointed!
The Joel Young Band (JYB) was by far one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding! My husband had seen them perform at his sister’s wedding about 6 years ago and he knew he wanted them to be part of our day! We reached out to Joel abo...
ut 11 months before our wedding on 11.25.22 and we were thrilled when we learned they were available! Three weeks before our wedding, my husband and I had a phone call with Joel to go over our timeline for the reception, and talk about song selections for our first dance and parent dances, as well as entrance songs and a song for cake cutting! When we shared our choice for our first dance and asked Joel if they knew it, he replied “No but we will learn it!”. Fast forward to our reception, and JYB absolutely knocked their rendition of our first dance out of the park. It was truly such a beautiful moment and it was made by their amazing talent both instrumentally and vocally! The whole night was incredible. They truly kept the party going all night long, playing everything from current hits to classics that had everyone moving and out of their seats! All night, our guests were coming up to us saying “amazing band” “they are so great” “where did you find them?”, clearly we had made a great choice! Throughout the planning process and the night of Joel was communicative, fun, professional, and easy to work with! I truly cannot begin to thank JYB for making our reception so incredibly fun and special. We have memories that will last us a lifetime and we are so grateful to them for being part of our big day! We want to do it all over again just to have that epic party! Lots of love, Mary & Jonathan G.
The Joel Young Band was incredible. They kept the party going the entire night and didn’t even really take breaks. They were great at keeping the crowd engaged and played great music that really kept the party alive! Our dance floor was jam pac...
ked the entire night and everybody had an amazing time. We are still getting compliments from friends and family on how great the band was. Joel was basically the MC the entire night and did everything right – he really helped keep the night flowing smoothly! Leading up to the wedding he was also very responsive and made the planning process seamless! Definitely look into them if you are looking for a fun band!
Any questions?

The Joel Young Band was one of the best wedding bands we’ve ever seen. Not only were they an excellent band and musically talented, they knew how to party! The band was full of energy and knew how to read the room. They stuck to our schedule an...
d 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!
Truly kept the party going the ENTIRE night. They were SO lively, had so much energy and delivered on exactly what we requested! They were phenomenal and you NEED them at your wedding!! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night!!
performed at my sons wedding , he turned a hurricane weekend into the best party ever !
The Joel Young Band - helped make this special day even more special - all I can say is that the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last song! As well he and the band made everyone feel special!

Hire this band. Aside from the great communication, responsiveness to the craziness of planning a wedding, and the incredible value for your buck...this band absolutely ROCKED.
Our 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!
If you are looking for a wedding band with high energy and the ability to play a wide range of music that keeps you dancing all night long, look no further. They additionally played 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.
The Joel Young band played at our NYC wedding and they were amazing. The dance floor was packed the whole night, everyone loved them, and they were so fun and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend!!
The Joel Young Band did an incredible job at our wedding reception and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to hire a band for their wedding.
Joel made the entire process quick and easy. He got back to us almost immediately af...
ter 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!
I can’t imagine a better band for my wedding. The Joel Young Band was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. From the moment we spoke to Joel, we knew we made the right choice. He was so awesome to work with. He was so understanding when we had to resche...
dule 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!!!
The Joel Young Band was fabulous! They had our entire party dancing until the very last second. They played a variety of music for each age group at the wedding. We specifically asked 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!!!
Our expectations were truly exceeded in every way! Even at an amazing venue like West Point… party isn’t a party unless everyone is out on the dance floor having fun. The pumpkin 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
The Joel young band absolutely crushed my wedding. Everyone kept asking me all night where did you find this band because they're awesome. They had the party going all night long and 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.
I had a wonderful time at my son’s wedding. The band was extremely entertaining and had everybody dancing all night long. They played a variety of music. Our guests really enjoyed 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.
The Joel Young Band is extremely talented with a wide repertoire that will have your guests of all ages on the dance floor with music for everyone! It goes without saying that 2020 wasn’t an easy year to plan a wedding, and when we decided to r...
eschedule 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!

After providing the Joel Young band with ample notice that our wedding was going to be canceled, we requested a refund. Joel Young has refused to provide us a refund because he claims this is “taking advantage” of him. When in reality, Joel is ...
taking advantage of the global pandemic and young couples who suffered losses from weddings due to Covid.
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2021
Rachel, The JYB sincerely apologizes for the current situation. The JYB has never taken advantage of anyone, period. The band and everyone involved has felt the impact of the Pandemic. We feel for everyone. However, this negative review is out...
of context, incorrect, and shows one side only. The reason bands require a deposit is to specifically block out the date for the couple. Cancelling in December for an April wedding is not ample time to rebook. You booked your wedding almost a year before the actual date and many others book even farther in advance.
Even though the contract states no refund after 30 days, we still offered to apply the deposit to another date as well as a few other good options. Shown below is the email sent to you after your cancelation request in December.
Hi Rachel and Jeffrey, Thanks for the kind words and hope all is well with you and your family. We can really empathize with your situation, as we have seen many couples encounter the same difficulties. It has been a really tough year for all of us due to the restrictions. All of our 2020 weddings were rescheduled to 2021 with the exception of a few that were scaled down and moved to NJ. The reason we have a no refund after 30 days policy on the contract, is because we block out the date and turn away all bookings for that specific date. Cancellations impact everyone committed to playing the wedding. Due to the extraordinary circumstances we all have encountered in 2020, we are allowing everyone to use their deposit towards a 2021 rescheduled date. We then coordinate our availability with each couple.
If you'd like, you can use your deposit towards us playing a party or event for you somewhere in the area, or you can transfer the deposit to another couple for their wedding. We would then apply the deposit towards their total.
We will open up your date again to the public, and if booked, we will refund your deposit in full.
Sincerely,
The Joel Young Band
Where to begin? In planning a Covid wedding, there were plenty of challenges, but working with Joel was not one of them. They rolled with the punches down to same-day changes, and 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!
We can't even begin to put into words how amazing the Joel Young Band was at our wedding. It's one thing as the bride and groom to feel like you’ve danced the night away, but it's 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
We were completely blown away by how amazing The Joel Young Band’s performance was at our wedding. They more than exceeded the high expectations we had after seeing their videos, 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
Wedding took place on 1/20/2019 in Stanhope, NJ thanks Henry and Dani!!!
Thank you!, Thank you!, Thank you! Joel Young Band! From inception to our ceremony, cocktail hour and finally the unforgettable party, you were so amazing. Thanks for you...
r 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!
We hired The Joel Young Band to perform at our wedding, trusting them to get the party going- after all, they played my cousin’s wedding 2 years ago, and were amazing! We could not 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!
We hired The Joel Young Band for our wedding, and I cannot say enough great things about them. They were incredible, phenomenal, amazing, fun, exciting, and made our day absolutely 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

t 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
The Best Band Ever!

ng. It was absolutely the best decision we made. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this band!
The Joel Young was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. I'm a rocker, my wife loves the Top 40s and my parents are classic rockers. Every single one of us left the party raving about 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.
Where should I begin?? This amazing, wonderful, talented group of musicians made our wedding the funnest night of my life. Our guests are still thanking us and many have said it was 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 ((())) !
We had The Joel Young Band play at our wedding in June of 2014 and they were my favorite vendors from that day! Even 5 years after our wedding, people are still asking for their name and commenting that we had the best wedding band they've ev...
er 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!
Joel Young Band was phenomenal for our wedding! Our wedding was on September 30th of last year. I was a nervous wreck trying to find a band. They were very reasonably priced, and the level of skill and professionalism they possess made everythi...
ng 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!!
The Joel Young Band performed at our wedding in 2015. They were absolutely fantastic. The music was tailored to us, so it really made the evening feel like our unique night. Joel and the band were energetic, sentimental and made the evening flo...

These guys were awesome! They played all the tunes everyone (bride, groom, young, old) wanted to hear. They were very enthusiastic and kept the part rolling all night long. Great sound and great energy.
Joel Young Band was a highlight of our wedding, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish! They really know how to keep the dance floor packed with awesome renditions of wedding favorites! They also don’t shy away from learning new mater...
ial-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!
Hiring this band was easily the best decision I made during the planning of our wedding. From the beginning consultation to the wedding day, I never once had to worry about The Joel Young Band and what I could expect from them. They played clas...
sical 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!
The Joel Young band was amazing. They made our wedding. They got all our guests up and dancing and everyone was talking about them months after the wedding. They were the highlight to our wedding. The band was extremely professional and ver...

The Joel Young band played at my wedding 2 years ago and they were incredible. The band was truly everything I wanted from a band playing at my wedding. They were not too loud as many 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 !
The Joel Young Band put on a lively and fun performance. We loved listening to them play and they kept the party going the whole time! Would highly recommend
I could not have asked for a better wedding band and overall experience. As a musician and someone who has seen hundreds of bands, I have very high standards and Joel exceeded every 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
We used the Joel Young Band from our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. From every aspect of the night, the band was remarkable. The volume was perfect, the skill set was unmatchable, and the level of professionalism was par none. The...
se 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.
These guys were great. Kept the party going the whole night with all songs that we loved. They even played an encore when the whole wedding was cheering for it
We had The Joel Young Band at our wedding in 2016. I had seen them perform at my friends wedding earlier that year and knew we had to book them. Music was extremely important to us as we knew both we and our guests LOVE to dance and have a grea...
t time. The JYB did not disappoint! Their energy throughout the entire evening was incredible, keeping everyone on their feet and even shouting for an encore at the end! No one wanted the night to end! They were extremely professional, knew how to read the crowd, and also incredibly nice and friendly to work with. Our music taste for our wedding was a mix of classic and current rock, country, pop, and Frank Sinatra-esque tunes. All around they knocked it out of the park. Highly recommended!!!
They were amazing at my wedding. We had so much fun and the band was very interactive with all of our guests. They sound great and I would recommend them for every wedding

The Joel Young Band is awesome! They played our wedding ceremony and reception on 12/15/2018 and they were the perfect choice. We originally saw them play a wedding in 2015 and they were so great that we decided to book them for ours in 2018. E...
ven though we did not give them many song recommendations, they played exactly the type of music that we wanted and kept everyone dancing the entire time, and their sound systems were excellent. Many of our guests are still talking about how great they were! Leading up to the event, Hank Lane was very helpful and always responded quickly to our emails and concerns. They also keep the entire band open for your date, so we were able to add additional musicians two weeks before the wedding. The Joel Young Band definitely gets a 5 star review from us - wish we could give them more!! Definitely try to book them for your event.
Words cannot describe how good these guy are. Extremely easy to work with, incredibly talented, and they had such a keen sense to keep the energy of my wedding going all night long! They also have amazing range, capable of playing any song we...
wanted them to! Highly recommend!

Kelly and Nate’s wedding was absolutely wonderful and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the band! Thank you so much, Joel Young Band for making the trip into Pennsylvania and making it happen! We're so glad we decided choose...
your band. Live music was so much more personalized and the dance floor was hopping!! Even my Mother-in-Law danced! Not using a DJ may have been our wisest decision, we will never forget you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
The Joel Young band was incredible!! The members are excellent musicians with awesome personalities .. they really made our wedding a dance party for everyone with their awesome set list. Young and old.. everyone heard a song they had to dance...
to.... the band is entertaining to watch.. like a concert.. totally cool! Best thing ever was hiring these guys!!
I’m not the biggest fan of weddings and not usually that fond of the food, but the Joel Young Band made my night at my friend’s recent wedding on Long Island. Great musicians, awesome song list, and they had the place totally rocking. The entir...
e place was up and dancing the whole night. If I wasn’t already married, I’d hire them for my wedding! Haha
Joel Young Band was amazing- My daughter and her friends had a blast, jumping around all afternoon on the dance floor! Joel was attentive to our musical tastes, they even performed a Flock of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song that my wife wanted t...
o hear, what a surprise! Thank you all, you have my gratitude and recommendation!
We hired the Joel Young band for my son's wedding after being very impressed with them at another affair. We were extremely pleased with all aspects of the experience with them. They are a great, talented band and had the crowd thoroughly enj...
oying dancing and listening to the music. I was particularly pleased and touched that at the affair they went over and above to learn something on the fly that I requested, which made my dance with my son the special experience I had hoped for. I can't imagine anyone regretting hiring the Joel Young band.
Joel Young Band made our wedding night unforgettable. Almost every single guest has complimented the band. Throughout the entire night, the dance floor was never not full. My husband and I had the best time at our wedding and we tribute a lot o...
f that to Joel Young band who made our night absolutely amazing. Not to mention that we changed our first dance song the day before our wedding and they accepted the challenge without hesitation! They were truly unbelievable and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
The Joel Young band knows how to make any event EXPLODE into a dancing, singing crazy-good time! I went to my boss’s daughter’s wedding reception and it was, as expected, a stuffy dud - until the Joel Young band took the room by storm. It was ...
less than 3 minutes before the entire hall - old and young - was shouting, singing, losing their shoes and their minds! Big wedding or private party, THIS is the band you want at your event, trust me; they’re not just onstage, they’re all over the place, mixing it up with the crowd while they’re rocking out the BEST song list you ever heard. I’ve been to several weddings and parties where they played, and they have it all from their professional yet UNstuffy look to their kickass talent and presence - if you’re planning any kind of party, do yourself a solid and book them NOW (if you can!!)!
I was a wedding DJ for three years and like to think I have a good feel for what kind of entertainment works at a wedding reception. I worked with many bands in the past and the Joel Young band is the best of the bunch! I have seen them perform...
multiple times now in front of tough to please corporate crowds and they strike the perfect balance of musical selections, all with good humor and relentless vigor. Quite simply, they can tailor their set to your party - and can rock whatever set you choose!
The band was INCREDIBLE! They exceeded our expectations by miles. They knew just the right songs to play and when. My feet are still killing me from dancing all night! So many people were coming up to us and have been emailing/texting us about ...
the band telling us how much they loved them. I would recommend hank lane as a whole and Joel Young band to anyone in a heartbeat and without question. Truly the best day of our lives and a large part of that goes to the band!
We had the Joel Young Band at our wedding. In a word, they were awesome! Great musicians, great musical range, great music. From the Monkees, to Motown, to the Stones, to rap- and most things in between. And they nailed it. True professionals. ...
And they were great fun as well- entertainers, who were clearly enjoying what they do. Also, we loved the fact that there were enough musicians that they could stagger their breaks-and keep the music going almost continuously. They received compliments from everyone! Over two years later, people are still talking about how great our band was.
