The Legit Band

greed live musicians were preferred. But who and how do we find them? After searching, the Mother of the Bride found very positive reviews for Legit Band, and we attended one of their Showcase events. Hired the band on the spot and Ron became irreplaceably helpful in advising the sequence of events. On the day, the reception was smooth and fun, and most of the credit should go to the input of Legit before and during the wedding. Their musical talent was spot on, professional, and quite diverse. Legit offered to learn a new song for each wedding which was important to the bride and groom and added a very personal touch for them. Our guests got the vibe Legit was having fun as well as entertaining the guests, and it was quite infectious. With Daughter #1 done, it was her sister’s turn to step up to the plate. While we offered Daughter #2 a clean slate, she said, “Why change, you have a winning formula”. The difference this time was we added Legit for the ceremony music as well. Legit hit it out of the park again and was instrumental in pulling off another successful wedding event. Daughter #3’s turn came shortly thereafter, and without hesitation, she insisted we hire Legit and schedule her wedding date around their availability. Legit again provided the most memorable event for the bride, the groom, and all the guests. Two of the most unique aspects of having Legit as our “family” wedding band was: 1) they set the standard for all my daughter’s friends to compare other weddings they have attended before and since. I have heard from numerous attendees that none, and I repeat none, compared to exciting atmosphere supplied by Legit. 2) From a father’s perspective, it is become a little-known fact that a great way to keep the liquor tab under control is by having everyone on the dance floor and not hanging out at the bar. The only time Legit’s dance floor was not filled was during the dinner and cake cutting. While not a proven accounting axiom, I am convinced a lower bar tab offset some of the of differential of hiring Legit over an everyday DJ. While this is a lengthy review, I believe Legit is a major reason each one of my daughters will cherish their wedding day for the next 50+ years. This was my over-riding goal, and I am indebted to Legit for assisting me to accomplish this significant objective. I am honored to have the opportunity to offer this review.

another (even the ones that don't dance!). Their repertoire and sequence of songs were well-designed and perfect for a wonderful wedding dance party! Enthusiastically recommended!

this amazing deal (I hope I can publicize this!) that if a family member used them previously, they will play your wedding at the same price they charged before! My husband’s sister had them play at her wedding years ago, which is how we knew about them. Legit was highly recommended by my sister-in-law, and she recalled the dance floor being filled even before dinner was served! They had to ask people to sit down and eat! Anyway, we were so fortunate to have them play at our wedding while honoring their price from many years ago. That was amazing! 2. I loved how interactive the band was. They went out onto the dance floor and sang with guests, which was so fun! 3. They made me feel like a rockstar! I got up on “stage” twice during the reception, and sang!! I am by no means a good singer, but it was SO FUN! The last song of the night (Living on a prayer), had me and my husband up on stage and they gave us drum sticks for us to wail on the cymbals to close out the song. It was amazing! We met with Ron, the band leader, a few months ahead of time at dinner, which was a great opportunity to really get down to the details of the timing of the reception, which was very helpful. We communicated with Ron what songs we wanted for the first dance, last dance, etc. and he assured us the band would learn these songs- which they did. However, we were led to believe that they would learn other songs we wanted, so we gave him a list at that dinner of some other songs we wanted- some not typical “wedding songs”, but ones that we liked and thought would add to the evening. We were told it would be “no problem”, but at the reception we didn’t hear any of these played. My father and sister-in-law also emailed Ron ahead of time asking for 2 songs, and neither were played. In the end, like I said, the band was AMAZING and I would use them again. I wish we were given more realistic expectations though on what they would play from our request list. Their own list of songs they “know” is VERY extensive, and they were able to keep the whole wedding up on the dance floor the whole night. One of our guests who flew in to MA from NC is even considering hiring them for an upcoming event. All in all, they were excellent, and one of the best parts of our wedding!

t where everyone was dancing until they their shoes fell apart or the wedding was over... it was amazing, uplifting, exciting and hit every age group that was at the wedding. Even the grandmothers were up dancing. As my Great Aunt (in her mid 80's) said the next day, "that was the best physical therapy ever... I'm not sure what the words were in that song, but it was really fun to dance to." They were able to read the crowd. The two things I was not pleased with were the lack of communication right before the wedding when it was extremely hard to get in touch with the bands manager to go through our song list and the fact that a very important message for all band members to know regarding wedding participants was not relayed to all band members causing an uncomfortable situation. For those 2 reasons I would give them a 3 on service. I must say though that they were there early and were all set-up and had there sound checks completed before anyone arrived. It was nice to be able to trust that they would be able to pull our wedding off without a hitch. Some of our other vendors and guests have already been recommending them. Amazing Job!
