We hired The Moment to sing at our wedding and they were amazing!!! If you’re tossing the idea of hiring a band, DO IT! Communicating with Scott was a breeze. They were incredibly professional and we not only had a ton of compliments throughout the night but even after our wedding. Highly recommend!!!

Having The Moment perform at our wedding was the best decision we made. Scott was extremely professional and was very accommodating to our requests. From the ceremony acoustics, cocktail hour trio, live performance of our first dance songs, and creating the best dance floor environment, everything was perfect. I could not be happier with our decision to go with The Moment!

leased. We have been duped in the past with other entertainment groups/event planners. So I like to think I know what to look for in these vendors. Accountability and punctuality. Scott and his team made sure they were all on the same page on our big night. It’s more than just playing awesome well known live music jams with a 9 piece band. They organize and offer the entire entertainment process. Thanks again to everyone at The Moment.

didn’t just play music — they created magic. Their energy, talent, and ability to read the room elevated every part of the celebration. Nothing but ear to ear grins on the dance floor, as they played everyone's favorite tunes. We’ll never forget the way they made our night feel so personal and alive. If you're looking for a band that brings the soul, the sparkle, and the unforgettable soundtrack to your big day — this is it.

We had the band do all of our ceremony sound/music, cocktail hour music, and then reception music and announcements. They were truly a great group to work with and they really elevated our wedding to the next level. All of our guests are still talking about how amazing they were and we can’t wait to have them at our next event.

and the band were so easy to work with and easily accommodated our song requests ( which they proceeded to execute perfectly). We requested some jam band classics and some more obscure indie songs that they knocked out of the park. We still have so many people rave about our wedding band and we owe all of that to the Moment. Do not hesitate to book these extremely talented, professional, and kind people for your special day.

ens on the dance floor if you have the right band. The Moment brings tons of great energy, and an ability to connect with everyone in the room. They had everyone young and old clapping along, smiling and laughing, and best of all, I felt like they kept bringing it back to the bride and groom, keeping them at the center of the celebration, which you don't always see from other bands/ DJs at weddings. Really great musicians, but also really great wedding professionals, too. I highly recommend this band for your wedding!

e entire experience of our reception. I went to watch them play one of their gigs in the Houston area and was SOLD. They have incredible chemistry on stage and all the musicians look like they are genuinely having a blast performing. Their energy is infectious and brings such a fun and upbeat vibe to the dance floor. Some wedding bands I've seen feel really corny but The Moment is more than a typical wedding band. They were able to learn two sentimental songs for me and my husband and I was BLOWN AWAY by their covers. They were also able to work seamlessly when taking breaks and playing songs via aux to keep the party going. Scott is professional but also dedicated to throwing a great party and show. He was lovely to work with. Each musician is individually talented and they come together really well as an ensemble. They have an extensive list of songs and are fairly priced compared to some other quotes I had gotten. They have won themselves a fan for life and my husband and I are looking forward to enjoying them perform at more Houston gigs in the future! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience and I am so grateful that they were a part of our day.

Seriously… hire this band. They play tons of songs (variety from at least 5 decades), their singers are versatile, their musicians are talented and well-practiced, and you can see ...

that they truly ENJOY what they do. I have known Scott Sofer for almost my entire life, and he still acted as a consummate professional in delivering an amazing performance for our event. It was easy to contract, set the date, choose songs, and he worked directly with our venue to ensure what equipment the band needed to bring vs what the venue already had in place. The Moment is a talented, professional, music-loving band that will be such a great addition to your special occasion. Oh, and they dress so fancy. Highly recommend!

tt is so patient and kind. He answered every question we had, and made sure we were all on the same page as we led up to the wedding. They were involved in all parts of our wedding. All of our guests were impressed with their music inventory and their overall performance throughout the night. They were even willing to play a private song for us at the end of the night as everyone was prepping for the exit. We’re so glad they were part of our big day. 10/10 recommend!!

minute tweaks. He organized playlist after playlist and brought tears to both mine and my now husbands eyes. The Moment effortlessly guided our day into the night. From learning a new song for my parents to sing during our first dance, all the way to our private last dance where I surprised my husband with his favorite song (more tears). If we had to do it all over again, booking The Moment would be the first thing we did.

nd personalized all of our big dance numbers. Including the First Dance and the Mother/Son & the Father/Daughter dances. They sent us a gift after our wedding and even helped us get our wedding publicized. They are truly the ultimate wedding band of the century. There should be no debate whether you book them, do it, and your wedding will be life changing. They are a great band and even better people. I have and will always recommend them for ANY event! They are very easy to work with and very adaptable. They come with a lot of equipment and can do almost any venue setup. Very professional and technical. Easily the most stress-free decision to make while wedding planning.
