Amazing!! The Side Project is genuinely so good! They were professional and accommodating from the day we booked until the end of night. They’re incredibly friendly, talented, and learned custom songs that meant so much to us! They were our ban...

d, DJ, and MC. Throughout the night and to this day, we have people ask who the band is and where they can go watch them because they were such a hit. We weren’t big dancers but love music, and they got everyone dancing when we needed and were a pleasure to listen to and just enjoy when we needed that too. They read the room great and provided more than I even expected when we initially booked. My big day couldn’t have happened without them. They bring a great vibe and created the atmosphere I dreamed of through their beautiful music and friendly vibes. Highest recommendation!

We hired the Side Project for an outdoor summer wedding in Seattle, Suzie, Ben, and two other musicians. Their singing and music created the perfect mood throughout the day for us to celebrate, a beautiful performance for us all to remember. Fr...

om the start, Suzie was incredibly helpful and responsive, sharing advice, listening to our ideas, and always willing to offer options and work within our budget. Her flexibility and guidance made it easy for us to plan the day and simply enjoy the moment.

Suzy and Ben were amazing from start to finish! We hired The Side Project to play for our wedding and they did everything they could to make the process go smoothly for us. They communicated quickly and clearly, sounded amazing, and even let us...

Suzie and Ben and the rest of the Side Project were so amazing. We originally thought we weren't going to get a band for our celebration but I am so glad we did. Suzie was super communicative pre wedding about song selections and how to make ...

the nights music transition and flow smoothly. During the night of the celebration they set up early and helped out anywhere they could. We also didn't have a wedding coordinator, so Suzie was so helpful in getting people transitioned to dinner and later speeches. The music was so incredible! They played two live band sets and DJ'd for us in between. People were dancing all night long and I wish they stayed longer! I received so many compliments from guest about the Side Project. They definitely made our night even more special than it already was. AND they also were celebrating their wedding anniversary! Hope you had as much fun as us Suzie and Ben! Thank you so much for everything!

Look no further as the Side Project is a one-stop-shop for all your wedding music needs. They are a band and DJ all in one. They recently did our wedding and they played accoustic music for our isle and ceremony, then got revved up and added dr...

ums and electric guitar for the reception music playing rock music; and at the end of the evening we switched it up to top 40 hits and they became our DJ. They truly can do it all and it was the most fun we have had in years. Thanks Ben and Suzie you are amazing humans and incredibly talented.

Oh man. These guys are awesome. First of all, they are extremely good at what they do. Our guests just loved their music and kept commenting on how talented they were. They even learned our first dance song just for us and let me tell you, it s...

ounds so much better coming from a live band who put their own sound/style into it! Second, Suzie is a delight to work with. Super responsive and enthusiastic despite the idea of having to drive up a rough mountain road to get to our venue and dealing with the limitations of a venue without power! Not only did they make it work, they made it great! They also provided audio support for non band related things like the ceremony, which I did not adequately plan for… good thing I picked such great vendors! Thank you all!
