Hiring The Loveday Band was hands down the best decision we made for our daughter’s wedding! Their talent and energy were absolutely unmatched, and they connected with our guests on a personal level. Days later, I’m still glowing from the experience, and I can’t express how many compliments we received. The dance floor was alive all night, with only a few guests needing to step away for a quick breather or a refreshment! Knowing that everyone had a fantastic time with Loveday Band both on and off the dance floor fills my heart with joy. I truly believe that a great band is the key to a successful wedding, and Loveday Band delivered beyond our expectations for our daughter’s celebration. Thank you, Loveday, for making our special day unforgettable!

We had an incredible experience with the Loveday Band, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! Gary, our band leader, was truly outstanding. He took the time to meet with us beforehand and coordinated seamlessly with our wedding planner and the venue team for a thorough walkthrough before the big day, ensuring everything was perfectly organized. The Loveday Band's song selection was simply fantastic; it created an electrifying atmosphere and packed the dance floor all night long. We were overwhelmed with compliments about the band, and without a doubt, we highly recommend the Loveday Band for your event!

I came across their promotional video on YouTube and then started searching for bands on The Knot, which led me to contact this band. I initially spoke with Hellen over the phone, and she was wonderful. She then introduced me to Marcel. Since my parents are old-school, they requested an in-person consultation, which was a pleasure. Marcel was patient with all our questions, providing detailed answers and exploring various options with us. Ultimately, my fiancé and I decided to hire a 10-piece band. We are thrilled to have chosen The Loveday for our wedding this past Friday. The performance was phenomenal, with amazing singers and musicians; everything sounded incredible. The dance floor was packed, and guests of all ages danced all night long. I highly recommend this band to friends and anyone looking for live music for their reception. Thank you, Loveday, for an unforgettable night! Sincerely, Janice and Sean

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for hiring The Loveday for our wedding. From start to finish, my fiancé and I felt incredibly fortunate to work with Marcel. He was a true gentleman and guided us through every step of the planning process. Marcel communicated clearly and transparently, discussing the details of each package with us first over the phone and then via email to ensure we were on the same page. We appreciated his honesty in answering all our questions. We chose the Big Band package, and it turned out to be the best decision! I paid for a 12-piece band but received a 13-piece band at no extra cost. The band was fantastic, delivering an amazing range of oldies and contemporary songs that kept guests of all ages entertained. The dance floor was packed, and the tables were only occupied during dinner and cocktails. I highly recommend The Loveday to my friends and anyone else looking for a phenomenal band. Thank you, Marcel and The Loveday team! All our guests loved your performance and are still commenting on how great the band was. Best, Carol & Stevie

The Loveday was phenomenal at my son's wedding on 9/1/24! The guests couldn't stop raving about how incredible the band was - they truly made the celebration exceptional. From their excellent organization and professionalism during the planning stages to their outstanding performances during the ceremony, cocktail reception, and dinner, they exceeded all expectations. The energy and music were so captivating that all 115 guests ended up on the dance floor. The lead vocalists were superb, and the song selection was perfect. The band leader even got the guests involved, making the experience unforgettable. If you want an amazing band for your wedding, don't hesitate to book The Loveday Band. Their ten-piece ensemble created the best sound and outcome possible, and I highly recommend them for a sensational wedding experience.

Looking for a band to keep the dance floor rocking? Look no further than the Loveday Band! They played fantastic covers for our special dances, got everyone up and moving with the Hora dance, and kept the party alive all night long. Professional, fun, and accommodating - we couldn't have been happier with our choice for our wedding. We highly recommend the Loveday Band to anyone looking for a memorable and lively event!

The band exceeded my wildest expectations. They were incredible. On the day after my wedding, I expected to hear things like "The bride was beautiful" or "Your ceremony was so touching". Instead, all anyone could talk about was how amazing the band was. And I wasn't upset with that at all - Loveday Band truly did an outstanding job, kept every wedding guest on the dance floor the entire night, sounded great, and were overall a lot of fun. I highly recommend them for any wedding or similar event. Fantastic!

Hi Maxwell and Evan, it was a privilege to be part of your wedding and do what we love to ...

do. Our mission was to provide the night of your lives, and sometimes we got involved with the amazing atmosphere, but we had to hold ourselves performing instead dancing with all the guests :) We are happy for your words and all the team wishes you to have a happy life together, thanks for the opportunity and to believe in our work, Kind regards, Marcel

Loveday band is absolutely fantastic! We were beyond delighted with their performance. The dance floor was constantly packed, with everyone afraid to miss out on a single great song. They truly made the wedding an absolute blast! Every single guest raved about how amazing they were and expressed interest in booking them for their own future weddings. I can guarantee that they are worth every penny!

We were on the hunt for the perfect band for my wedding on WeddingWire and The Knot. My fiancé and I wanted to find a band that had no negative reviews. We came across bands with 500 reviews, but after reading some bad feedback, we started feeling concerned. Fortunately, we stumbled upon Loveday band, which had nothing but positive reviews - and it turned out to be the best decision we made! When we visited their website, we were delighted to hear their organic sound, which sounded so close to the original songs on their promotional video. After reaching out to them for more information, we had a couple of chats, and finally set a date to meet at my parent's house. It was a fantastic meeting; everyone loved Marcel. He was funny and went over all the details. We were sold and decided to go with them. Our wedding was absolutely amazing from the ceremony to the reception. Loveday band's talented musicians brought the house down and lived up to everything we saw in their promotional video. They sounded incredible and kept the guests dancing all night on a packed dance floor. There wasn't a single guest at their table during the reception! We received compliments from every guest about the band we hired. I would highly recommend Loveday band to friends or anyone looking for a band for their big day. Many thanks to Loveday band for delivering a perfect evening performance! Doug & Jenny

Hey Doug and Jenny, Thanks so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your ...

wedding was a fantastic success. We had an absolute blast at your celebration, and we really appreciated how everyone interacted with us. Honestly, your wedding was one of the best we've ever been a part of. The food was incredible, and the energy from the guests, including you and Jenny, was infectious. We had to resist the urge to join everyone on the dance floor! Wishing you both a lifetime of joy as a couple, and we can't wait to meet up again in the future. Warm regards, Marcel and the Band

We hired Loveday Band for our wedding in May, and they were incredible. The band was energetic, talented, and sounded amazing. They had the dance floor packed the entire night and kept the party lively and fun. Every band member was extremely talented and easy to work with. We highly recommend them for your wedding or party. Two of the band members performed at our ceremony, and I was blown away when I heard them start playing. The music sounded incredible, and I will never forget it. After the wedding, all our friends and family repeatedly told us how amazing the band was and inquired about them for their own events. Thank you to the entire band and Loveday team for making our wedding so special and memorable.

My fiancé and I attended a friend's wedding, and this band was performing during the reception. We just loved this band, they kept all the guests on the dance floor, perfect transitions, energy, sound quality, and great singers as well also caught our attention, so we were sure that we found the perfect band for our wedding. When the party ended, my friend introduced the band leader, Marcel. After the wedding he went over all the details of our wedding, the band learned 5 of our special songs, and the service was amazing, we chose a 9-piece band for the reception, a New Yorker Jazz band to perform during the cocktail and dinner, and a beautiful set of three strings for our ceremony, I highly recommend Loveday Band, they delivered as promised and made our big day special, Thank you, Loveday Band, Annie and Ben

We found this band on YouTube, we were digging there to watch some videos of wedding bands, and we were lucky. I, my fiancé, and some family members, were searching for bands, so we found Loveday Band, everyone loved the video, so we contacted them. Marcel is a great guy, he's the manager, he listened to my vision for my wedding, and after just listening to me, he starts to put pictures in the air illustrating my vision, he is amazing. From planning the timelines throughout the year to the big day, he did everything as we expected. He takes care of everything, he put a pianist and a violinist to receive all my guests at Park Savoy entrance, everyone still sometimes commenting on how beautiful that was, he created such a perfect atmosphere from the beginning. Our ceremony had a professional violinist and a pianist, they made us feel as if we were in a royal castle, and during the cocktail we had his Jazz Trio Band, they were professional musicians and the band as well. The Band had a memorable performance, seeing everyone on the dance floor, and looking that dance floor completely full, was the best answer about this band, I still having compliments for the performance of this band, as they said, I had a party of my dreams, we were lucky to have Loveday band in our wedding, thanks again, Love, Mariah & Jerry

Howdy, Mariah and Jerry, OMG, thanks for the words, since our first contact I noticed from...

your wedding vision, that you would like to have a different wedding, so we tried to bring your vision to the Venue, not only performing at, but by trying to make that vision real for you and Jerry, and I am glad you liked our surprises and everything we prepared for you guys, thanks for your review, Mariah, and Jerry, we loved the opportunity to be part of your event, The Loveday Band

A Great Company To Work With Our daughter's wedding was scheduled for Dec 7th, 2019. Two weeks before we decided to move the wedding to June 6th, 2020 due to Coronavirus. Marcel and Hellen were amazing during our decision time and choosing a new date. Marcel and Hellen were very patient, helped me to figure out band configuration, what was the best for a ceremony, an orchestra with 8 violins and piano, it was beautiful, the light show was phenomenal, our songs were amazing played, all guests, family, and close friends still commenting about the quality of the band and those vocals, really 5 beautiful voices. . I feel very lucky to have chosen them for our wedding. They are such an amazing group of people. We are so luck to having The Loveday Band at our wedding!! Thanks, Marcel for everything and also for the band's t-shirts that we received from UPS, we love it. I recommend The Loveday Band for friends and family members, and we hope to use you guys in our new year's eve party. Mario & Kathy
