The Martini Affair made our wedding reception the best celebration wecould have ever hoped to have - friends and family are still telling us how great the evening was!
Oh my gosh. It was always my dream to have a live band for my wedding, but I never imagined it would be as amazing as the experience The Martini Affair curated for my wife and I. First of all, they are so easy and comfortable to communicate with, making sure to account for everything we might need or want. They are passionate entertainers and their enthusiasm for having fun is absolutely contagious. We had guests that I didn’t even anticipate dancing one song out on the floor dancing the night away because of how masterfully The Martini Affair does what they do. They helped us plan and craft every detail of how the night would go and emceed the night in a seamless manor. They are an absolute blast and if you’re looking for a wedding band, please look no further! 🍸💖
The Martini Affair is a BLAST! If you want your guests on the dance floor all night then this is the band for you. They were so easy to work with and helped to make planning a breeze. Jess, the emcee stepped up several times to take on tasks to help make the day easier and for things to run more smoothly. They worked well in collaboration with our other vendors to make sure that everything went off without a hitch - even when timelines flexed. The band you pick is SO important to maintaining the energy you’re looking for on your wedding day and The Martini Affair is the one to trust with the task!
The Martini Affair is incredible! They preformed at our wedding on Oct. 12 and were absolutely amazing all the way around. I have gotten numerous complements about our band and many of our friends stated it was the best live music they’ve heard at a wedding. They were so easy to work with. Do not hesitate to book them!
BOOK THEM. Just do it. You will not be disappointed. If you want your guests up and dancing and having a great time, go with The Martini Affair. They were incredibly professional, accommodating, organized, and FUN. They even brought props which were a huge hit. I could not have asked for a better experience. They know a ton of great songs ranging from classic rock to current pop/alt songs. They are very talented and true professionals. Worth every single penny. I may or may not have gone up on stage at one point!
Do yourself a favor and hire this band! No one left the dance floor until the night was over!!
We just had our Wedding Saturday 09/14/19 and we couldn’t have asked for a better band!!! They were extremely professional and fun. They even had all our guests dancing. They listen to what you really want. They sounded amazing!!! Our guests all complimented us on the band throughout the evening, which made us feel great! The most important take away from a wedding is how you make people feel, and they all felt happy. Thank you to The Martini Affair for making our life less stressful and doing an exceptional job!
We hired The Martini Affair for our school's Junior/Senior prom. It was the first time our school has had a band in about 25 years, and it was a huge success. The students danced all night long...even the kids who don't usually dance. The band played music that everyone enjoyed, entertained the kids (and chaperones), and were the highlight of the evening. The Martini Affair is incredible and gave our students a night that they will never forget!
The Martini Affair performed at our event with 100 people and were amazing! They were super fun, high energy, and professional. I would highly recommend them for any event!
We are so incredibly thankful for the Martini Affair! From a great set list to learning our wedding song (leaving us jaw-dropped we might add), our day was simply perfect. There was a veteran wedding-crowd of hard-to-please New Yorkers, and the Martini Affair had everyone on their feet: all. night. long. Our guests raved over their enthusiasm, costumes, and their personal interaction with the raging crowd. Our wedding would not have been the same without, The Martini Affair!

This band is amazing! They played for our company Christmas party. There were prob 30-40 of us. We all were dancing for pretty much the whole night and for the few that weren’t enjoyed watching and listening to them play. They had a great variety of songs they played, they interacted with the crowd well and even had some fun costumes. We all loved them and had the best time! I definitely would recommend them for any event.
Wow, As the person running a venue I must say no matter whether their playing for a wedding or a performance or party this band will not disappoint you I went in with high expectations and they were exceeded miles beyond what I thought. This band is great because they interact with the crowd play crack music and all-around seem like good people. I can’t wait to have them back at the barn at Blystone farm wow. As an industry professional I have to say this is the route you want to go this is the band you want.
The Fabulous Gans Five and Dime Birthday party hosted the Fabulous Martini Affair Saturday November 10th!!!!
What an awesome, fun filled night!! Let's do it again!!!!!!
This band is absolutely Fantastic! They made us feel at ease and were definitely a crowd pleaser. The dance floor was never empty. It has been a month since we were married and our guests are still raving about how great the band was. If I could give them 20 stars I would. Thanks again and I highly recommend this group to anyone.
So, imagine this...
You are looking for a band for your wedding day.
Will the music be great? Are they professional? Can they keep the crowd going? Can they play past 11pm? Can they handle the reception AND ceremony? Will your family and friends enjoy themselves?
If these are your questions, among others then YES, the Martini Affair is who you want!
I can't tell you how thrilled we were to have The Martini Affair play our reception! Not only were they professional but their pregame was awesome! By that I mean they (Jimmy King and Jess Hanks) contacted us before the wedding to ask us questions, detailed questions about our wedding day ...who was in the wedding, what were their names and what was important to us on our wedding day. The Martini Affair's Jess Hanks also followed up with us two weeks before the wedding and the day before the wedding to make sure everything was in place. I couldn't believe the time they took out of their busy schedule to make sure we were comfortable and that we and no concerns.
The day of our wedding was absolutely amazing! We had the right venue ( Valleydale Ball Room) and the right band, The Martini Affair! We know this because all of our guest not only danced the whole time, but they are still raving about the wedding! Believe it or not it was not about the food, it was not about what somebody was wearing, it was about the band The Martini Affair and how impressed they were with the music they were playing, their interaction with the crowd and all the smiling faces a DJ couldn't bring to a reception.
If you're looking for your day to be one of the most memorable days of your life and the music is a part of that then this is the band you should have play at your wedding, The Martini Affair!!
I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without having The Martini Affair apart of it! They were the first band I looked at and I immediately knew they were THE ONE for our big day. Not only was the booking process super easy with them but they made me feel like a top priority at all times during the stresses of wedding planning. Jess was amazing to work with and so easy to communicate with from all the timeline changes and etc. Our reception was UNFORGETTABLE because of The Martini Affair, they kept our guests dancing all night long and their talent is truly amazing!!! I had so many people come up to me and tell me how much they loved our band! We can't wait to have The Martini Affair perform again for our events in the future. We love you MARTINI AFFAIR, thanks for making our wedding the best night of our lives!!
I posted on here for Martini Affair, and didn't realize I didn't post a star rating.. oops
Amazing stage presence! As a photographer/videographer it is crucial that guest are on the dance floor during receptions! The band had EVERYONE out there!! I can’t wait to work with them again!
Awesome set list, engaged the crowd, great at coordinating ahead of time, and the best part of the reception! Definitely recommended!
I am a wedding photographer out of Dayton, OH (Meghan Marie Studio) and I had the pleasure of working with the Martini Affair at a couple weddings over the past year and thoroughly enjoyed their presence. They not only were incredible to work with professionally, but their high energy and quality of sound made their group one that was almost too good to be true! I mean, these guys had my feet tapping at the end of a twelve hour wedding day, which is SUPER impressive! Thank you again for being so fun to work with, as well as organized, professional, and easy going. :)
Very professional! Responds promptly and communicates.
The band is amazing!
They sing amazing, dance and put on a great show!
They went out of their way to make sue my guests had a great time!
Love seeing them!!!
AMAZING! The attendees of the event couldn't stop talking about how great the band was! A definite band to book if you want to have your event attendees on the dance floor dancing the night away! Thank you for assisting and making our event such a success!
The martini affair did an amazing job at our wedding! We enjoyed working with them! They really listened to what we wanted, and it was perfect!! The crowd loved them!!
November 11, 2017. Wedding at Scioto Reserve CC...Just say yes to having The Martini Affair part of your wedding celebration! Professional, thoughtful, fun, amazing musicians & entertainers. You & your wedding guests will be smiling forever remembering your special day.
The Martini Affair played at our wedding and our guests raved about how good they were and how much fun they made our day! The band was also incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. They learned a new song just for us and took time to make sure they got things just the way we wanted. Plus they couldn’t be nicer people. Their variety of music and fun style provided something for everyone and got our guests up and dancing. They turned our wedding reception into the fun party that we wanted for our family and friends!
Fantastic group! They sound great, have a great song list, and are fun to watch, plus, they were super great to work with. This was the first wedding I'd ever been to where the dance floor was full by the second song. One of the best decisions we made about our wedding day!
Best decision of the entire party planning!!! The Martini Affair entertained the Tartan Fields Golf Club 20th year party . They had everyone dancing and having a great time. They are a fabulous group and great to work with. The song list is awesome and all kinds of music. Very professional but boy do they ever know how to have a good time!!!!!!
THE BEST. SO EASY to work with. They do so much - planning, emcee, DJ and of course perform - I wish every part of my wedding was so stress free and easy! Easily the highlight of the night - all of our guests LOVED THEM! So many compliments on our wedding reception were about The Martini Affair. It was a high energy and engaging concert and everyone - even our grandmothers - were singing and dancing all night long. We're very happy our guests had a great time and will always remember our special day. We can't say enough good things about The Martini Affair. Not just an amazing band but really good people, too. They have so much fun together and it shows on stage. We considered some other so-called "bands" but they were just a collection of musicians looking for a paycheck and if you do research you will find out its just a band name owned by a booking agency who pieces together "bands" in different areas based on what musicians they find in that area. The Martini Affair is out gigging together every week and it shows. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. BOOK THEM!
The Martini Affair performed at our July 2017 wedding, and they were absolutely great. Many of our guests and family members, of all ages, told us how much they enjoyed our band. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and the band's energy was amazing throughout the show. They also did a great job with announcements and kept things moving for dinner, speeches, cake cutting and dances. Overall, you won't find a better wedding band.
Went to a friend's wedding expecting to see some lame DJ but instead they had an AWESOME BAND - it was like being at a private concert with 200 of my friends! The band is amazing and played the best songs - we danced all night long! We're planning on going to see them play out live soon!

The Martini Affair was a blast to work with for our wedding reception! They were easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. The day of the wedding everything went perfectly! If you are looking for a party band to keep everyone on the dance floor and having a great time, the Martini Affair is the band for you! We had an awesome wedding reception and danced the whole night!
We booked The Martini Affair for our "Rockin' to Beat Leukemia" Event. They entertained a crowd of 400+ people (all ages), and we heard all night long, when we greeted our guests, how great the band was. Not only are they a great band to dance to that appeals to all ages, they are a fun band to watch. If we could give 10 stars we would. Best Band in Columbus!
This review is long overdue! We hired Martini Affair for our wedding and they far exceeded all expectations! Choosing an actively gigging band with a male and female singer was the best decision we made! Their set list is very diverse and they were very easy to work with, professional, accommodating, talented and so, so fun! Our family and friends were up dancing all night! The band truly seemed to care and they made our special day perfect! We highly recommend The Martini Affair for all your wedding needs!
If you’re anything like us, you’ve been to a number of weddings. We’ve been in weddings, been a part of weddings in multiple roles. Half the time you might find yourself thinking, “Does every Wedding DJ have the same lame playlist or something”, or “It’s so scripted, is there a school for wedding musicians?”, maybe even “There’s no one on the dance floor, might as well have had a WinAmp (yes, WinAmp) playlist!”.
On the other hand, you could be looking to make your wedding a party, the kind that leaves your guests amped up and wanting to keep rocking out! The Martini Affair provides just that - a full dance floor, with the best music, from crowd favorites to new hits. They make sure your event is a night to remember, whether it’s their fantastic vocals or perfectly-coordinated instrumentals that make you feel like you’re part of your own personal celebrity concert! If you’re looking for great music, fantastic fun, and stylish flair, then you need to have them at your party The Martini Affair! Thanks, you guys, for an unforgettable wedding reception - every single guest who had something to say about the party loved every bit of having you with us that night!
BEST setlist ever - our guests were dancing all night long! Super easy to work with and really care about what they do and really cared about making our reception awesome. Highly recommend!
