The Moon Units: Weddings & Events

ey are an incredibly talented group of musicians, playing everything from Rush to Robyn and Steely Dan to Sir Mix-A-Lot. They were unbelievably good at working with and understanding the 'vibes' of my wife and I, curating an exceptional setlist that had something for every age and musical interest. Highlights for us included walking down the aisle to an acoustic version of "Champagne Supernova", and dancing at the reception to "Tom Sawyer", 'Bring Me To Life", "The Impression That I Get", and "Dancing on My Own", but they have a list of over 1,000 songs and can really do any sort of music you're looking for. They're professional, friendly, and talented, and my only regret is that we can't get married again to hear them play one more time. As one guest said to me at the wedding, "I've never seen literally every single person on the dance floor at a wedding before, but they had everyone partying for three hours straight".

ponsive, and helped us decide what we wanted for our big day. We decided to do live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour which was such a special touch. Their song list is incredible with a huge selection to choose from. On top of that, they learn three additional songs of your choosing. It meant so much to hear those specific songs played live by such a talented group. They welcomed our guests up on stage to sing during our reception which were some of our favorite moments of the night. We had so many guests come up to us — and continue to text us afterward — raving about how good the band was. We could not recommend them more highly!

ut delivering what we wanted. AMAZING group. I can't say enough... hire them!

our budget. Thankfully, Dylan and his team were able to deliver an incredible product at a comfortable price point. They offer different packages and even with the most affordable one with the fewest band members we didn’t feel like we missed anything! They are such talented musicians and the catalog that they offer is unparalleled. Perhaps the greatest perk is that most weddings end up adding three songs to their repertoire. This is because the standard package includes them learning three songs of your choice to make your evening bespoke. So just in the time between booking them and your big day, there’s a good chance one of your favorite songs will be added to their catalog! This thankfully happened for us. We really wanted a Vampire Weekend song and someone added one of our favorite bangers: Unbelievers! And we only had 6 months between signing our deal and our December nuptials.  If you’re a control freak/music nut like me, then you’ll also appreciate how they allow you tweak their set list to your liking. My only regret is that they had to cut a few of my favorite tracks because speeches and other parts of our evening ran long. I’m grateful they played one of the cut songs during sound check and I got to appreciate it just before first look.  There were only a tiny number of decisions in wedding planning that were as simple and straightforward as hiring The Moon Units. I think you’ll find the same experience. I can’t imagine having anyone else provide the soundtrack to our special day. And the icing on the wedding cake: we have a board recording and can relive every note from their marvelous three hours set. What a gift.  They make me want to become a professional wedding crasher so I can hear them perform on the regular!

e really flexible and able to navigate the demands of the venue flawlessly. Their communications and planning with us (primarily through Dylan) were prompt, organized, and professional. On the day of the wedding, their performance at the ceremony and the reception were fantastic and added such a special atmosphere to the event. We're so glad we went with the Moon Units!

te favorite! The music was fantastic, the energy was perfect, and the professionalism stood out from start to finish. Even our wedding coordinator was thoroughly impressed, especially with how smooth and professional the communication was. We’ll definitely be adding them to our vendor referral list and hope to have them back at our venue for future events. Highly recommend!

playlist creation was seamless and we felt very taken care of. And on the wedding day - not enough can be said about how valuable their team was to us. They covered all the ground for us, from cueing playlists and speeches, cocktail music, to a full night of dancing, and every beat and element was incredible. We got SO many compliments on behalf of the band, and hope they know how special they are. Book them!!

ourse.) They have such a deep catalog of hits and did a great job balancing the set list between bangers that appealed to guests who came to dance and those who were a little bit shy. They kept the energy level over the top from cocktail hour through a windy night that would have sent many vendors packing up. The wind knocked the venue power out halfway through the set, and they didn’t miss a beat while the venue got generators online for their electric amps. They kept the party going into the night, and looked like they were having as much fun as we were, despite falling amps and heat lamps! The guests were raving about them: - ‘I felt like I was back in high school, dancing with reckless abandon!’ - ‘ I have never seen my parents dance, but they didn’t leave the dance floor’ They couldn’t have been nicer to work with, and we are thankful for their part in our perfect day!

layed songs that weren’t the typical songs you always hear at weddings (and get bored/sick of), and they sounded EXACTLY like the original version of the song - incredible musicians and vocals. My now husband is a former professional musician, so the music at our wedding was extremely important to us, and we knew they were the only choice. From their communication throughout our planning, to their extensive song list, to the option for them to learn specials songs just for us (which they crushed), The Moon Units were nothing short of spectacular. They are also all very kind people, which is the cherry on top and makes such a difference on a wedding day!! They will also be playing at another friends’ upcoming wedding soon too (that’s how impressed everyone is with them). We had so many people come up to us after our wedding to tell us the music was the best out of any wedding they have been to, and everyone had so much fun dancing! 100/10

. Would work with them every time!! Shout out to Dylan for being the best contact and so easy to work with!

other band for your wedding as they truly are jacks of all trades when it comes to music. They can do it all, and they do it all amazing well!

edibly talented. One of the highlights of the experience was meeting with Dylan a few times to go over all the wedding day details and customize our set list. The band knows over 700 songs, which gave us so much flexibility and made the process really fun and personal! Being able to create a unique set list (which is rare with most wedding bands!) made our celebration feel truly “us.” On the big day, The Moon Units completely blew us—and our guests—away. The vocals were stunning, the instruments were top-tier, and the energy they brought to the room was off the charts. The dance floor was packed all night long! Our guests are still raving about the music and how much fun they had. If you're looking for a band that’s not only incredibly talented but also a pleasure to work with, we highly recommend The Moon Units. They helped make our wedding unforgettable! 

music - we would. 11/10 job and we cannot recommend them enough! Dylan (who is part of the band) coordinated everything seamlessly and was easy to reach any time we had a question.

aralleled level of fun and energy to the night. They were also so easy to work with from a planning perspective. Highly highly recommend this band for any live music needs! Photo cred: @weare_theboyds

usical tastes. We initially picked the Moon Units because of their fun sound, instrumentation, and deep catalogue of music. We had a blast working with Dylan and the band to curate our wedding “playlist” and overall vibe. The band proved to be incredibly versatile and kept the party going all night. They especially nailed our specially-requested music, right down to our perfectly timed grand entrance at our reception. In the days following our wedding, we’ve gotten the most compliments on our choice of music, and we couldn’t agree more. The Moon Units made our wedding an unforgettable night!

to expect. But wow — The Moon Units completely blew us away. From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room shifted. Guests were dancing all night, and everyone — literally everyone — commented on how incredible the band was. Their vocals, instruments, crowd engagement, and overall vibe were flawless. They were warm, kind, and so professional — but also knew how to bring the fun and keep the party going strong. Their pre-event coordination was also top-notch, and we felt totally confident going into the day knowing we were in good hands. If I could give them a million stars, I would. If you’re considering hiring them — do it. You will not regret it. The Moon Units were truly the highlight of our wedding.

. We booked The Moon Units for our wedding and had them play the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They played classics such as Fly Me to the Moon to new hits like Pink Pony Club to nostalgic punk like Still Into You. No matter the genre the band brought the right energy and enthusiasm. The Moon Units also learned three new songs for our wedding and provided all the audio technical support. They played from 5pm to 11pm and always kept our guests moving and vibing. A testament to their ability the dance floor only cleared after the last song of the evening. The Moon Units created the right atmosphere for our wedding and our guests repeatedly told us how impressed they were by the band. We would recommend The Moon Units to anyone looking for band, no matter the event. Thank you for making our wedding day so incredible!

e floor packed all night long. Their talent is undeniable—tight musicianship, incredible vocals, and a playlist that had something for everyone, from timeless classics to dance floor bangers. They read the room perfectly, ramping up the energy at just the right moments and bringing a genuine joy to every performance. But beyond the music, what really sets The Moon Units apart is their professionalism and warmth. They were a dream to work with—Dylan was so responsive, accommodating, and they were just all around lovely people. They made our night feel special, personal, and unforgettable. So many of our guests have told us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen—and we couldn’t agree more. If you want your wedding to be a truly legendary party, book The Moon Units. You will not regret it!

working with us on not only our songs, but on the audio and video for our entire ceremony. Everything went off without a hitch. They did a very good job of understanding exactly what we wanted and when, including some recorded music for certain songs and during dinner. The Moon Units REALLY shined once the reception/dancing started. They knew exactly how to bring the energy to start and after breaks. We wanted high energy on the dancefloor all night, and they certainly delivered. All six of the musicians we had were fantastic performers who really felt like they were having as much fun as the guests were. We absolutely loved every second of their performance and cannot recommend them more to anyone looking for a professional yet lively band for their wedding.

ly about having live music at our reception that we based the rest of our wedding budget on what we were spending on the band and we'd do it again in a heartbeat! The Moon Units have a huge selection of music to choose from with a diversity of genres and our guests were raving about the live band karaoke at the end of the night. On top of the over 600 songs in their repertoire, they learned two songs for us, which was the icing on the cake to an already terrific experience. Dylan was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and the band was professional, talented, and enthusiastic. We're already looking for another event to hire them again!

seen from any band ever. We wanted a really wide range of styles including jazz standards, old school R&B, yacht rock, and cool 90s stuff like Radiohead and Veruca Salt. They slayed on absolutely everything. The horns!!! Leading up to the wedding, Dylan made the planning process extremely easy. He’s very organized and responsible, and he made certain that everything would comply with our venue, which was new to hosting weddings. Best of all, he really listened to us and never tried to push anything that we didn’t want. The prices were completely fair, and we felt we got a ton of value for what we paid. There is literally nothing I would change about The Moon Units. They are a dream band, and I cannot recommend them enough!

r. The whole band was energetic and really made the night. They have a huge list of songs, so you are able to work with Dylan to make sure the genre fits your vibe.

their performance. We could not be happier with our choice. From the moment we heard them soundchecking the songs they learned specifically for our event, we knew we were in for a good night. The band sounds amazing, their song list is super eclectic, and Dylan was a pleasure to work with. Would hire them again in a heartbeat!

guests will have a wonderful time with the Moon Units as your band! They are able to skew the size of the band based on your needs and offer other services such as DJ’ing and emcee. I found the band on The Knot and was initially very impressed by the range of services available as well as their list of songs. The Moon Units had the largest song selection I had seen offered as compared with other event bands with a wide range of music styles. As part of their service, they can also learn songs for your event that may not be on their song list. They sounded great and are all very talented musicians. We selected our songs from their list but they did a fantastic job of picking the right moments to play everything and matching the energy of the event, as well as getting the energy up and getting our guests dancing. We had guests on the dance floor all night! 3 weeks later our friends and family are still talking about how much they enjoyed the Moon Units, asking where we found them, and giving compliments on their performance. They were super polished playing, super professional- and so much fun! They were also very reasonable price wise for the services offered and very easy to work with. We worked with Dylan who books them and does the planning (and also plays in the band)- it was very easy to discuss the services we needed as well as to plan out the details of what else was needed for the day. They truly made our wedding so much fun and I am so grateful. We had guests from all over and throughout the night we had so many guests compliment the band and share what a wonderful time they had. The Moon Units made our big day everything we had been hoping for. Truly talented, professional, fun, and a pleasure to work with.

th while we were planning our wedding, they’re professional, they brought incredible energy to our event, and were a lot of fun. Hire them!

l. They had the best energy and played amazing. They really brought the great vibes and energy to bring everyone on the dance floor. They were professional and very communicative throughout the whole process. They are worth every penny and I cannot recommend them enough. All my guests could not stop talking about how great the Moon Units were. We loved them! Book them now!

less, the music was fantastic, and the energy was incredible!! The Moon Units made our wedding feel like a concert, which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much for being a part of our day!

T band they have seen at a wedding! We loved their energy and enthusiasm. They all clearly love what they do and it shows through their performances. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with such a talented and fun group of people. Cannot recommend them enough!

ng a band and the Moon Units exceeded our expectations! We love these guys and want to have an anniversary party just to celebrate with them again!

Each member of the band is beyond talented and phenomenal. You must hire the Moon Units and I promise you will have the best event you’ve ever been to or hosted. The Moon Units performance at cocktail hour was incredible and then their performance for two dance sets was SO MUCH FUN! The bass player will even get on the dance floor and play with you which is just such a highlight! They are so versatile and know just about every song. Incredible. They can also help MC the wedding/event and that went flawlessly! It’s really amazing how they can cater to such a variety of ages/demographic with their music/vibe. Again every conversation we have about our wedding includes some glowing statement about the band. When you hire The Moon Units, you don’t have to worry about the details/setup, they are such experts at what they do. Thank you so much to the Moon Units for being a part of our big day. I could go on and on about how incredible and talented each musician is and how collectively they are just the best team and band. Your event will be phenomenal when you hire The Moon Units!

gy was contagious, our guests are still raving about them. I've recommended them to every bride and groom I know. Reasonably priced, amazing quality, eclectic song list and very professional - we loved The Moon Units!

rformances how much they enjoy and love music and performing. That enjoyment and love for their craft definitely shined and translated to our guests!! We received and are still receiving so many compliments about how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing to their performances, but also just watching them do their magic. The Moon Units, is the one vendor that any bride and groom will not regret hiring for their big day. They really made the night lively and they really gave it their all for every song even when there were only a small number of people on the dance floor. One of the special request songs I made was Beyoncé's Love On Top and I don't even know how to explain how AMAZING Sophie sounded hitting 4 key changes!!! I was so entranced by the performance that once the song ended, I regretted not getting it on video. My husband and I are really looking forward to seeing them perform again because they really are super talented and great performers.

sweet time to cast a wide net and to follow, interview, and compare A LOT of bands. We went out to watch our top two choices and when we saw The Moon Units' positive energy, ability to rock the crowd, and musical skill, we immediately knew that they were meant to be our band (just like when we saw the venue we wanted, we just knew). They are highly accommodating, musically versatile, and truly professional, Hollywood type performers who will seal the deal on upgrading your wedding from already great to one of the greatest your guests have ever been to. The three things that most impressed me about them during my wedding were: 1) they gave it their all on every song whether there were two people on the dance floor or the whole group (and believe me, your guests will notice this too), 2) they were able to improvise to seamlessly integrate with all my other vendors and moving parts without any interruptions, as if my wedding was truly an entertainment production, and 3) whether they were singing rock, hiphop (yacht version), metal, r&b, pop, Kpop, oldies, or jazz, they performed as if it was their main genre. We requested them to learn two of our favorite songs that we loved but were skeptical that they could perform because of how hard they were to sing, and man did they prove us wrong! Each of the musicians are friendly, multi talented/multi instrument, down to earth people who love what they do and have a great time performing. They output pure sound candy and also look great doing it. Your stage will be glammed up and filled out, and your guests will compliment and remember your band choice even more than your food, I guarantee it. My wife and I are now semi-groupies (and I'm not ashamed as their gigs take me back to the best night of my life), and we aren't the only ones! That's something that no Youtube clip or online review can really convey. Good luck and have a great time wedding planning, but hire The Moon Units!!!

ved them, they were the talk of the party other than me and my new wife Hazel. They were the best, and would recommend them with no hesitation to anyone. I want to thank them again for a great night, they made our wedding so memorable. =)

throughout the entire process. From the initial planning stages to our big day, Dylan and the band were very professional, helping us sort out all the specific details well in advance. One of the highlights was when they specially learned a song for our first dance. It was such a personal touch that made the moment unforgettable. They also performed a beautiful acoustic rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love" for our ceremony, which was perfect. They kept the energy high and the good vibes all night long. They curated a great set list for us and played a wonderful mix of oldies, classic rock hits, and modern pop that we and our guests loved. We can't recommend The Moon Units enough. They made our wedding night super fun and memorable. Check out their youtube/instagram and see for yourself why you should book them. I suggest just reaching out for an initial email/phone call w/ Dylan, who is friendly and a pleasure to work with.

e guests. The musicians were amazing and they really brought an amazing energy. Everyone told me how much they loved the band and the venue owner asked for their name to recommend to other couples. Communication leading up to the wedding was great. They did an amazing job learning new songs for us (we gave them a real wild card) and brought so much energy. They even played a few bars In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida spur of the moment as a request from my dad. All the musicians were incredible and they were really able to get a solid depth of repertoire. Couldn't recommend the Moon Units more!!!!

re at a concert & so many said it was best wedding ever because of band!! Wide range of set list & also learn songs to accommodate first dance etc. Highly recommend to all!!!

mely professional, easy to work with, and most importantly, fun! All our guests would not stop commenting on how much energy the band brought to our reception. We also did a portion of live karaoke for all out titas and had a blast. I can’t recommend the Moon Units enough and easily do another event with them if we could. Thank you!

is group was amazing. In the very beginning, Dylan reached out to ask questions and get a feel for what we wanted. We talked through the timeline and "vibe" and with every question he had multiple ideas and options of how to make it work. Our wedding was very DIY. So to have someone on the other end that was calm, kind and super professional made all the world of difference to us. When it came to the music... They crushed it. Crushed it. We had SO many of our guests tell us they were one of the highlights of the evening. You want to have a calm musical presence that doesn't add stress to your crazy day? The moon Units You want your guests to dance all night long?? The. Moon. Units. I should also say this. I am a professional musician myself, so this is not coming TOTALLY from a gushing groom that's obsessed with his own wedding. These guys gave everything we hoped for and more. Please make it easy on yourself and let your guests dance and have an absolute party. My wife and I truly couldn't have hoped for a better experience.

ext best decision! It might seem cliché, but it feels clandestine that they were to be the band that my bride and I would hire to perform at our wedding. Music is very important us. We believe that music can set the tone for an event, so it was of the utmost importance to my bride and I that we find the perfect band for our wedding. After weeks of searching for the right band, and seeing footage of many competent but corporately concocted “bands” my bride discovered The Moon Units. The name alone had me sold! (My bride and I have had many cosmic coincidences and blessing in our relationship, so the celestial name alone was enough to pique my interest!) That said, once I saw their superb musicianship and that they are an actual working band, my interest was even stronger. After a quick call with Dylan, we were struck by his kind, personable demeanor, his easy, yet very professional manner and inquisitive interest in us as a couple and our musical tastes, we were sold! It was a refreshing experience after weeks of calls and zoom meetings with some impersonal and caustic corporate event organizations. By being extremely flexible with accommodating and collaborative with our special requests, The Moon Units took time and special care to provide a comprehensive approach to ensure that the sound for our wedding was perfect. My bride and I knew that were in such good hands, The Moon Units not only provided the entertainment for our reception, an acoustic quintet made up of members of the band provided music for our ceremony, and Dylan personally handled coordinating the string quartet that played our cocktail reception. Writer/Comedian Larry David said that when hiring writers for Seinfeld, “many times it came down who was an ‘easy hang’.” In other words, whom would you like to spend so much time with. Dylan and all members of the Moon Units are the definition of an “easy hang.” After seeing their performances, witnessing their superb musicianship and the time that we spent with them at one of their gigs between sets, it was like seeing and hanging out with old friends. The laughs and smiles were quick. After a few minutes they began their second set and we were blown away with their musicianship! Sophie has the voice of an angel yet such incredible range and versatility, Jamey has a superb voice and charisma. Just when you think Mikey is just an excellent keyboardist, here he comes out-front to bring down the house by singing a tune with his rich deep voice. Not since Earth, Wind & Fire’s bassist Verdine White, has there been as great a bassists who can smile, sing and dance all while playing an infectious groove on bass! The Moon Unit’s Brian does that and so much more! Of course, as the legendary James Brown said, “you’ve got to give the drummer some,” The Moon Unit’s excellent drummer Taylor holds it all together giving the show a heartbeat to it all and expertly handing all of the different time signatures. The Moon Unit’s Saxophonist, Ross absolutely nails each solo and the accompanying horn players gave such warmth and depth to the arrangements. Their sound rivals any current Chicago and/or Steely Dan performance. My bride and I are not what would be classified as dancers of any sort. Many of our hand selected songs were not typical dance music. However, with a band this good, you cannot help but get up and move! Special kudos and praise for their superb rendition of Earth, Wind, & Fire’s ‘September’, one of our favorite songs. Throughout what was a magical evening, the common denominator was the music of The Moon Units. From a stirring rendition of Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’; to Anita Baker’s ‘Same Ol’ Love’ (365 Days a Year); to Paul Simon’s, ‘You Can Call Me Al” (complete with superb bass solo, trumpet and music video choreography; to Duran Duran’s “Rio”; to the New Radicals’ anthem, ‘You Get What You Give’ it all was an incredible evening because of the music, and because that music was played and sang by gifted and talented musicians and singers. All of this is held together by the superb leadership of Dylan, who is a great band leader and a master a putting together a great setlist, understanding and working an audience, and on top of those skills, throw in his excellent playing both lead and rhythm guitar and executing perfect guitar solos. I could go on and on about our superb and magical experience working with The Moon Units; however, I will just make the friendly suggestion that you see, hear and experience them for yourself! You will not be disappointed. And you will be looking for any excuse to book them again, just like my bride and I!

ough with an option that totally fit within our budget. What more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend to family and friends!

ery accommodating and patient in the process. Our guests loved the band, their style and the music selections and had a lot of fun on the dance floor. Several people really wanted to dance during dinner service because they enjoyed the music so much (we chose 40's-60's during dinner). Even our photographer had fun. I would definitely choose The Moon Units again for a special occasion and they made our wedding day perfect.

how conservative my Persian family is. It was literally the one thing my husband requested for this wedding and he did all the leg work so I felt like I had to give him this one. I was so wrong in my initial apprehension. The Moon Units is a fantastic live band! The way we set it up was by having them play live music for the ceremony, the bulk of the reception, and then ended with 45ish minutes of karaoke. People signed up for karaoke beforehand so there was no awkward situation of waiting around for people to pick up the mic and start singing. EVERYONE was into it! We literally had people jumping on stage when they heard other people singing songs they knew and joining in on the fun. I cannot recommend them enough, especially if you are like me and apprehensive about a karaoke situation. Let me tell you, I was blown away! It was a major crowd pleaser! Additionally, our venue, the Houdini Estate, and many of the other venues we toured, generally prefer a DJ option for music. Houdini in particular had many sound requirements that The Moon Units went out of their way to comply with. We even had a dedicated person checking decibel levels at all times. They were such a breeze to work with and did a lot of leg work on their own to get approved by the venue to play there. I really appreciate all the pre-event effort they exerted on our behalf. We are still getting compliments on our choice of band a month after the event, live music really just completely ups the vibe of your event. Me and my husband are so happy with the service The Moon Units provided on every level.

super special. Our guests couldn't stop raving about our band! Also, working with Dylan leading up to our wedding was always great. He has great communication and always replied to our questions and requests promptly. Special mention to the bassist for ROCKING OUT at the reception and bringing the energy!! I could not recommend The Moon Units more!

planning stages and at the final event. And the band totally rocked their sets, especially the two lead singers who blew away our guests. And although they’re great performers, we never got the vibe that they were showing off or trying to steal the spotlight; they beautifully made the audience’s dancing and enjoyment the most important aspect. Bottom line: they hit the perfect note for this kind of party. I’m a professional classical musician, so I had a pretty good understanding of what might be involved with working with a wedding band. Dylan was really helpful and accommodating in the pre-planning to all of our needs and requests. I was pretty amazed at the list of repertoire that they had available: over 500 tunes! And the band learned three tunes specifically by request of the bride and groom, including a tricky and obscure anime soundtrack piece. At the actual event, the whole group was the epitome of helpfulness and professionalism. We had a pretty complicated setup for the sound tech, including providing live sound for the ceremony area, playback for the cocktail hour area, and a live performance set of family musicians at the reception area. Dave was great to work with, quickly setting levels and mixing the different inputs for the open mic set. And the volume levels for the band’s sets (first, a jazz trio at dinner and later the dance-party set with the whole band) were at the perfect volume to allow for conversation while still being present. I can’t recommend the Moon Units any higher for a wedding; they were great to work with before, during and after the party, and their price-point was very competitive. All of the musicians were top-level, and the groove of the band showed how much time and experience they have playing together. The singers, especially the lovely woman in the group, were exceptional, both in intonation and style. My advice: book ‘em!
