I cannot say enough good things about The Little Wedding Band, they absolutely made my wedding the dream that it was! Matt made everything so easy and seamless and he and the band executed everything flawlessly. The most important thing for my wedding day was having a fun reception and keep everyone on the dance floor and the band definitely delivered. There was never a time that the floor wasn't packed and they played something for everyone. Everyone at the wedding was raving about the band and couldn't believe how great they were. Matt made the planning process so smooth, and they were able to perform all of our specialty songs that we recommended. I cannot thank them enough for making my day so special and would highly recommend this band to anyone looking to have the best time at their wedding!

We booked the The Little Wedding Band for our wedding this past weekend and I cannot recommend them enough! Matt was SO professional and on top of leading a 10/10 performance, made sure everything ran smoothly. These musicians are talented, sound amazing, and it was fun having a mix of instruments available for our ceremony, cocktail hour, AND reception. They read the room so well, and our dance floor was the MOST fun. They got the crowd dancing with song selections and energy levels. They also included the audience. I have the best footage of my guests really enjoying their time and singing into the microphone. Thank you Matt and crew for the very best time!!! I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Having The Little Wedding Band at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Communication before and after booking was easy and efficient. I mostly spoke with Matt up until a week or two before the wedding when I was connected with my band leader, Mike. Both were easy to talk to and answered questions and listened to what I wanted. I had a specific vision for the ceremony and the band executed the instrumental and less common songs perfectly!! Once it was time for the reception, they kept the party going and the dance floor was full all night. It was truly such a joy to have them as part of our wedding day, and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

The Little Wedding Band was hands down one of THE top highlights of our wedding! They were highly anticipated, and they exceeded every expectation—guests raved that the band was one of their favorite parts of the entire day. Matt, the band’s leader, is absolutely incredible—high integrity, so easy to work with, and brought amazing energy to our celebration. Kristen performed at our ceremony (harp and vocals) and completely blew everyone away—it was magical!
When it came to the reception, the band kept everyone dancing all night long with their perfect setlist recipe to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. They seamlessly incorporated our custom song requests, and their talent was unmatched. Even when a last-minute logistical hiccup arose, Matt and his team handled it with utmost integrity, professionalism, and grace. They are truly the dream vendor every wedding couple hopes for.
I cannot recommend them more highly, and if I ever need live music again, Matt and The Little Wedding Band will be my first call. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had high expectations for the Little Wedding Band and they blew them away. Each musician was incredibly talented and the song selection was superb in making sure people stayed and danced all night. At one point Matt was playing lead guitar, piano and singing all at once. They also learned certain songs for us and played them as if they had known them for years. In addition to rocking the house down, they were perfect MC’s for the sentimental parts of the evening. They were super easy to coordinate with beforehand and were able to flawlessly execute the schedule of the night we had sent them. We would recommend the Little Wedding Band to absolutely anyone who wants to have a wedding filled with energy, dancing, and memories to last a lifetime.

Fantastic wedding night entertainment program. Chris did a fantastic job leading the band & MCing. From the music played as we walked down the aisle, to our first dance, to opening the dance floor with our favorite Kenyan sing-along, I couldn't have been happier! I loved that they played "stay forever" by Ween and even some Drive by Truckers! Everyone has been saying that it was the best wedding they have been to, I am sure because of the amazing music! The Little Wedding Band made our special day truly special.

Matt and the band are absolutely wonderful! They kept our vibes high all night and were such a hit. They’ll learn specific songs for you before your wedding day for your first dances, etc too which was awesome. They played our ceremony, through cocktail hour, and all night long for the reception! Love them, 10/10!

Listen to the reviews... This band really is one of the best. "Where did you find this band?" "The band is so good!" "I loved the band." People were obsessed.
I especially appreciated the reasonable price point, price transparency (no stupid fees that will come out of nowhere), and they were very easy to work with/get ahold of. At the last minute, we ended up adding a female vocalist and fiddle to the standard band set up and they handled it no stress (and it was worth it!)

Absolutely! Here's a glowing review for The Little Wedding Band:
If you're in search of the perfect wedding band to bring your celebration to life, look no further than The Little Wedding Band. From start to finish, working with them was an absolute dream. Their communication was stellar, with prompt responses to every email and phone call, ensuring that every detail was discussed and executed flawlessly.
The Little Wedding Band's attention to detail is truly remarkable. They took the time to understand our musical preferences and vision for the evening, and their performance exceeded all of our expectations. From the first dance to the final song of the night, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed, creating unforgettable memories for us and our guests.
One of the things that initially drew us to The Little Wedding Band was their reasonable prices. Planning a wedding can be expensive, but they offer exceptional value without compromising on quality. Their pricing was transparent and fair, and they worked with us to create a package that fit within our budget.
What truly sets The Little Wedding Band apart, however, is their dedication to their clients. They catered to every request we made, from learning special songs to accommodating specific timing requests. Their passion for music and commitment to excellence shone through in every aspect of their performance, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable.
In short, I cannot recommend The Little Wedding Band highly enough. If you're looking for a wedding band that combines exceptional talent with outstanding service, look no further. They are true professionals and an absolute pleasure to work with. We are forever grateful for the incredible atmosphere they created on our special day and would recommend them to anyone in search of the perfect soundtrack for their wedding.

To say The Little Wedding Band was AMAZING would be an understatement! One first attracted us to Matt's group is they do its all for your wedding, which is not always the case. Not only did the make the process leading up to the wedding super easy but they 10000% delivered day of!
They were prepared for everything during the ceremony/officiant, cocktail hour, toasts, speakers and reception! Literally every one of our wedding guests came to us and talked about how Matt and his team absolutely killed it!! Our dance floor was going non-stop all night! Their insanely huge music selection is unmatched and their ability to keep people dancing all night long is an art. All this on top of them having some of the most insane musical abilities we have ever heard!

The Little Wedding Band was the absolute best addition to our wedding day. They were incredibly easy to work with and covered everything; including the ceremony music, MC responsibilities, first dances, and reception. We appreciate them learning our first dance songs as well.
The dance floor was also packed all night, which was something we definitely wanted! The dance floor pictures are truly iconic. We had multiple people approach us throughout the night and share the band was awesome - we couldn’t agree more! A huge thank you to The Little Wedding Band!
Wedding was 9/30/23 at Mae’s Ridge.

The Little Wedding Band was an incredible choice for our wedding. Their leader, Matt, was a pleasure to communicate with throughout the process. They played all the songs we wanted, and Matt was an excellent MC for the evening.
They played a huge variety of genres for us, from dance to country to pop to 90s rock! They even played the Jewish dance song, Hava Nagila, for us and it was the best part of the night. Everyone talked about how great the band was.
They played beautiful instrumental music for our ceremony and also played great intimate duets for the cocktail hour. They even learned special songs for my sister and brother to sing during our ceremony.
They were extremely accommodating with a complicated amount of requests we gave them for the entire wedding experience. We never heard the word "no" from them!
Best of all, my wife and I are both singers and separately planned a surprise song to play with the band, and they learned them perfectly, and surprised both of us completely successfully! We absolutely recommend you hire The Little Wedding Band for your wedding! You will NOT be disappointed.

They took our song requests and fit them perfectly into their set and played acoustic versions that were perfect for the ceremony (and even were able to change it up the day of when my husband changed his walk-in song last minute!!). Could not recommend this group more! They are absolutely amazing to work with and so much fun the day of!!

The dance floor was full from the moment they started playing until the end of the night. In between sets, they played hits that kept people dancing until they returned. They also provided all the equipment needed for the ceremony and kept our guests entertained during cocktail hour. They were very easy to work with from beginning to end - we cannot recommend them enough! We are still getting messages from our friends and family about how great they were! We highly recommend them for your events! We would hire them 100x over again.

My husband and I had a huge debate on getting a DJ vs Band - and we did not choose wrong! The Little Wedding Band charged a flat rate for all day, covered the ceremony, cocktail hour, live music and all of the in between! And not to mention, they kept the party going! We did have a Sunday wedding, so a lot of our guests left early. We decided to move the timeline up a little early, but when the new send off time came, we were still all on the dance floor and Matt just kept playing! It was truly amazing, Matt is seriously the best!

Best wedding band ever! They learned all of the songs we requested for the dances and they provided a full dance floor all night long!! All the guests told us how they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen! We had an absolute blast dancing to a perfectly curated list of songs with exactly what we requested genre-wise! They were so much fun! I also loved that they were with us the entire night — from the ceremony acoustics (which were amazing!) to the last dance! They were able to pull songs from our Spotify playlist during breaks and kept the dance floor bumping! We loved having them so much! Matt was easy to work with too! He responded to emails and texts quickly. We cannot thank them enough for making our day so awesome!

We booked the Little Wedding Band for our wedding at Canyonwood Ridge in Dripping Springs, and it was the best decision we could have ever made! The band was with us all day making sure we had the absolute best experience: from Matt playing the acoustic guitar when guests arrived, to providing all the mics for our toasts and ceremony, to keeping our favorite playlists playing during cocktail hour and dinner, and being the absolute best MC to make sure everything was as seamless as possible. They were NOT lying when they told us they would have everyone on the dancefloor either!

The Little Wedding Band really helped make our wedding so much fun!!! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests saying it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to and a lot of it is owed to the Little Wedding Band!
Matt from the beginning in early planning stages was so fun and easy to work with. They really incorporated the type of music and vibe we wanted. We were able to pick out a couple of songs that weren’t on their original set list and they learned them for our wedding! “Laggy Taffy” being one of them!
They did an awesome job of playing all sorts of genres and really kept the party dancing!!
These guys were absolutely awesome and I highly recommend you book them for your wedding or any other event!!!

I’m going to be completely honest when I say that I was leaning towards a DJ for our wedding but my now wife was adamant on a band. And goodness am I glad i was overruled. The little wedding band was down right awesome. They had the crowd on the dance floor the whole night and were just overall amazing to work with. Multiple people made the comment that they were the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding and i have got to agree. If you’re looking for a band, you have got to use the little wedding band and if you’re looking for a DJ, forget the DJ and go with the little wedding band. Thank you for making our night so memorable!

If you're looking for a band for your wedding, look no further! I can't say more great things about The Little Wedding Band!! We just got married on 11/19/22 and they knocked it out of the park! Our guests absolutely loved our live band and we had such a blast dancing the night away to some of our favorite songs! It truly was a magical evening. One for the books, that's for sure!
Our emcee, Mike went over and beyond for us. He truly understood our style, country music, and boy did he deliver! Also,
the founder of The Little Wedding Band Matt Palmer, was an absolute DREAM to work with! He made everything so easy and was always very fast to respond to our 100 questions!

The Little Wedding Band did an amazing job! Our wedding was over a month ago and we still have friends and family talking about how much they loved the band. They performed at both our ceremony and reception. They really knew exactly which songs to play to get the crowd going, from oldies to hip hop to emo. They learned several songs for us, including our first dance song, and played them very well. You will not regret hiring the Little Wedding Band!

When my daughter and her fiancé were planning her wedding in Austin, they said they wanted a party! That meant we needed a live band and they had to be great. After reviewing the choices, The Little Wedding Band stood out for their sound. They were super easy to work with. We decided in addition to the regular 4-piece band, we HAD to add brass and we HAD to have a female vocalist. Those additions really made a big difference. We had a lot of guests (who go to a lot of weddings with bands) say they were the best wedding band they have ever seen.
They also included the ceremony music. I had so many people tell us they were enjoying the guitar music and thought it was very nice, but when the man starting singing, they were blown away! We HIGHLY recommend The Little Wedding Band!

Band enough!!!! We had the 7 piece band for our wedding and they by far blew our expectations out of the water. Leading up to the day Matt was super easy to work with! I felt like after just a few conversations we were exactly on the same page and that made my day completely stress free, which my groom and I both appreciated. Their performance was interactive and they covered such a range of genres that appealed to all our guests. They kept guests on the dance floor all night. We had attendees telling us how much they LOVED our band. I cannot recommend this group enough. Professional, entertaining, and fun! Thank you LWB for making our night one we will never forget!!!

Choosing my favorite vendor seems impossible but The Little Wedding Band was definitely ours! Music was really important for my husband and I and we were really conflicted with how to have the rock concert / Motown party we wanted while also being fun for all of our guests. I should have known LWB would absolutely nail it. Our guests couldn’t believe how amazing of a band they were and each individual musician was extremely talented. Make sure to ask for Dave for front man/ guitar and Marcus for the sax!!!!

TLWB was the perfect fit for our big day across the board. Matt (the band's leader) made the inquiry and discovery process super simple from start to finish and treated my wife and I like rock stars. Every email was answered promptly, the intake form was thorough, and they don't "nickel and dime" you with the specially requested songs. But what drew us to them was their versatile and extensive set list. The value you get with this band is incredible, as they make themselves yours for as much or as little of your wedding day as needed (they played during our ceremony and reception, making sure a spotify playlist was playing during our cocktail hour). The lead guitarist doubles as a keys player which again adds incredible value and while the core band is great, we highly recommend adding on the female vocal to cover a wider spectrum of songs. Definitely give them a listen and see for yourself.

The Little Wedding Band played our wedding in Austin, TX last weekend. We give nothing but the STRONGEST ENDORSEMENT imaginable to anyone else considering them for their wedding!
We knew early on that music was going to be one of, if not the, most important things to get right for our wedding. After researching several bands in the Austin area (and there are many great ones to choose from), The Little Wedding Band stood out to us due to their sound and song list. Once we booked them, Matt made the process so easy to ensure we'd get everything we wanted on our wedding day. He and the rest of the band clearly care about making the bride and groom have the best day of their lives, vs. nickel-and-diming to get a paycheck without consideration for the client. We appreciated that level of passion greatly.
Not only is the band exceptionally talented and fun, we loved how well they balanced playing songs we requested as priority in our planning list + filling in the blanks with song choices they knew would get the crowd dancing. They even were able to modify a fast punk rock song into a beautiful, slower acoustic ballad to use as our first dance based on our request. It completely wowed our friends! We also were so pleased with the live music they provided during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and since we incorporated some elements of Judaism into our wedding and did the Hora, we also were extremely satisfied with the band's rendition of Hava Nagila.
In terms of the reception itself, when you have everyone (people ranging from aged 20s through 70s) on the dance floor throughout the night, culminating in the bride and groom being lifted to surf the crowd during the last song, you know you found a band that brought out every ounce of life among the guests.
Many of our attendees told us The Little Wedding Band was the best wedding band they had ever heard, and we agree. Thank you Matt & the rest of the crew for making our day so special. Just don't get mad if you find us crashing another wedding you play so that we can dance to your tunes again!

Early on in our planning process my husband and I decided that we wanted a band. Weddings with a live band have a different energy and, in our opinion, have better guest engagement/dancing over a DJ. Then came the daunting task of me chatting with band after band and not finding anyone that we really liked and wondering if I should just break down and hire a DJ.
Enter Matt and The Little Wedding Band. They were so much better than so many bands with a vibe that we could get behind. They weren't there to nickel and dime us over ceremony music/etc, they were there to support our day and kept our day flowing. The music they played was amazing, they read the room and kept us engaged the whole night. They started with older music, and towards the end of the night ended with songs that had the younger crowd jamming out to. We picked a couple of acoustic songs to for our ceremony and they were beautifully played (and they did need a little tweaking to be ceremony songs so we were super pleased!).
Matt was also incredible in being open to rescheduling as we originally booked him in January 2020 for a December 2020 wedding that we rescheduled for Dec 2021 due to the pandemic. He made the process easy and didn't make us feel bad for the circumstances and was ready to go this year!
Thanks to The Little Wedding Band for making our wedding a night to remember!

Matt was incredible to work with -- so easy going and ready to help with anything we needed at all. The band was so much fun on the night-of.. Our only wish is that we would have utilized them more and had a better place for them to play! It was a little tough having them in the corner away from the dance floor, but that is 100% not their fault. We wish our venue had a better place for them to set up so we could have used them for the ceremony music, cocktail hour, AND reception. Definitely use TLWB to their greatest ability! Everyone had a blast. Thank you Matt and TLWB! I've already had friends asking who the band was. :)

I'd give them 10 stars, if I could! The Little Wedding Band was simply incredible. Matt was kind, helpful, and communicative throughout the whole process. From beautiful acoustic guitars during our ceremony to flawless renditions of our favorite songs at the reception, I was absolutely floored by the music all night. The dance floor was packed the entire time and everyone was raving about the band! Hiring them was the best decision I made for my wedding. Thank you for everything, Matt!

If you're debating on a live band, look no further. The Little Wedding Band was beyond amazing!! From my first interaction with Matt, I knew that he would be great to work with and help keep the party going on the big day! He scheduled multiple phone calls prior to the wedding, which helped make the day run SO smoothly. Every musician in the group is phenomenal. From the vocals to the instrumentals, 10/10. Their extensive library of music is sure to please everyone and they even learned a special song for us. I cannot recommend them enough - you will NOT be disappointed. xoxo, the Littles

The Little Wedding Band was FANTASTIC! We searched around for a band in the Austin area that was within our budget, and we feel so fortunate to have found them! They were even better than I had hoped for!!! I would choose them again and again even if my budget was unlimited! Take a look at their website… Matt says he will have everyone dancing, and he is right! Even the grandparents were on the dance floor!! Their song list is extensive and covers every genre! And they do it well! It is amazing! We had a very small ceremony with a larger reception, and Matt also played acoustic guitar for the ceremony which was beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend them and would absolutely hire them again!
