We hired The Sultans for our wedding, and they absolutely delivered an unforgettable experience! From the initial consult with Jerry he went out of his way to be kind helpful and teach just about the process the band, the songs, the musicians , And get us the best talent for the best price for our date. Jerry and Leslie and the rest of the sultans team were very organized and efficient and had great initial intake forms and song selection forms To ensure a seamless process. From the moment they hit the stage, their energy was infectious, they even got on the Dance floor with us and I even got behind the microphone with the band to belt out “walking on sunshine” performing during the wedding to all of our guests! The Sultan’s energy, flexibility, and engagement with the crowd was fantastic ! Our guests went out of their way to let us know how amazing the band was ! Their song selection was fantastic, blending classic dance hits with modern favorites and pop throwbacks that catered to all ages. The charisma and stage presence were fantastic but what impressed us most was their professionalism. They were punctual, well-organized, and communicated with us throughout the event to ensure everything went smoothly. They even took the time to learn the exact timing to cut our special songs for our first dance, which made it all the more memorable.
If you're looking for a talented band that will keep the energy high, look no further than the Sultans! Thank you for making our wedding a truly epic celebration
The band was incredible- they played for the entire wedding, without taking a break. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Great with the crowd, phenomenal entertainers.
The Sultans were an absolutely incredible band to have at our wedding. The planning team was very clear and supportive of us throughout the overall planning process. They even helped us understand the optimal length of our first dance. Their team makes the process very easy with their online portal to fill out the type of music we wanted to have played at the wedding. On the day of the wedding, the team was fantastic and very clear with us on any direction we needed during dances and other logistical items. The singers and band itself were fantastic throughout the whole night! They kept the energy high and were incredible engaging with the crowd to keep the whole night fun! We were very lucky to have them as our band for the night and they made the best day of our life even more special!
The Sultan’s wedding band truly made our special day unforgettable. They were so accommodating as it pertained to handling my ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner playlists. I had specific requests for transitions and announcements that they nailed every time. And the band, OMG the band!!! From the moment they started playing, the atmosphere was electric. Their diverse repertoire catered to all tastes, ensuring that every guest found a favorite tune to dance to. The seamless transitions between songs and the band’s infectious energy created a lively and vibrant ambiance that lasted well into the night. The musicians’ talent and professionalism were evident, making them the ideal choice for anyone seeking an exceptional wedding entertainment experience. We can’t thank The Sultan’s enough for turning our celebration into a magical, music-filled night. I have received feedback from many guests (who are not easily impressed) that it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding. No doubt, The Sultans were a huge part of creating that energy! A solid 5-star recommendation!
My husband and I used to see the Sultans play in Edgartown when we were dating; we knew we had to have them play at our wedding and couldn’t be more thankful to Jerry and his team for making it happen! From the first note played, our guests were on the dance floor and didn’t want to leave - they are still talking about how amazing the night was two months later. The lead singers were incredibly charismatic, with amazing range, and the band brought the house down time and again. They took all of our preferences into account, and surprised us with live versions of songs we didn’t expect, which was such a personal touch. They also went above and beyond to include a song at the end of the set that is meaningful to our friend group. Their attention to detail and absolutely flawless performance helped make our wedding day a true night to remember.
We had The Sultans perform at our wedding on October 15, 2021 and they were outstanding! The band played exactly what we asked them to, kept the high, fun energy up for our guests, and were professional from start to finish. The band is very talented and you can tell that they love what they do. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the band was and how entertaining they were. My husband and I, along with our guests, were very pleased and impressed with The Sultans and I HIGHLY recommend them!
The Sultans were beyond our wildest expectations. They were the first vendor we picked after we selected our wedding venue because we knew we had to have them. From the very beginning of the night, they had everyone up and dancing all the way until the night was over. Literally, people did not sit down. JG, Troy, Jillian J, and Leon were absolutely incredible and had everyone so engaged the entire time. Since our wedding last week, we have had so many of our guests reach out to us letting us know how amazing they thought the band was and that they were the best wedding band they have heard. The true surprise of the night was after the MOH speech where she mentioned the groom loved the song Zombie, by the Cranberries, they then decided to surprise us and play that song off the cuff. The songs they played throughout the night were the perfect range of music that no matter the age had people dancing. Thank you again to Leslie and Jerry for helping us pull together the most incredible lineup we could have ever imagined. Look no further, The Sultans are the only wedding band you need!!!
I have been to two weddings featuring the Sultan's and they were 2 of the most fun nights ever!! The talent is truly amazing.. it was like having the actual artists there -- SO amazing and fun. Can't rave enough.. I just looked at their website to see some of the other songs they play, and the range is incredible. There were a couple different band members at the two weddings I went to, but literally each and every member is outstanding in their own right. Just so fun!! I hope to use them at one of our own events someday.. Absolutely 5 stars all the way around!!
We were ABSOLUTELY blown away by The Sultans! It was an amazing experience, having them as our wedding band. We feel so lucky that we got to have such an enthusiastic and interactive band on our special night. All of our wedding guests were so excited to get on the dance floor and the music selection was exactly what we wanted. The band had the energy we were anticipating too. You would be crazy not to hire such a FUN, ENERGETIC band!
If I could give less than one star I would. Extremely unprofessional and won’t work with us in anyway around our contract. Please let my mistake be your gain. I should have known to stay away when I first talked to them and the rate changed 10 times.
Extremely unprofessional. Refused to work with us to modify contract during Covid restrictions. Refused to refund any of the deposit and did not play. Stay far away.
The Sultans were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at our wedding in September!! We could not be more thrilled with the band, and especially loved how Colin, Ingrid, and Nick were so engaging with coming into the crowd to sing and play the sax. All of our guests were dancing the whole time, which is exactly how we dreamed our wedding would be. A few of our guests said they were waiting for the band to play a bad song so they could take a break and it never happened so they just ended up dancing nonstop, and so many of our guests told us it was the best band they had ever heard. Thank you to The Sultans for helping make our wedding the best party!
AMAZING!!!!!
The Sultans were unbelievable and instrumental (no pun intended), making our daughter's wedding such a success. All our guests raved how great the band was and the dance floor was busy from start to finish. Having the band perform continuous kept the momentum going all night which was exactly what we wanted. The performers engaged with the bride, groom and all our guests. You played at our son's wedding in 2018, our expectations were high.....you exceeded our expectations!
One word AMAZING! If you want a band that your guesses will be talking about for days after your wedding. Then book the sultans! They rocked and put their heart and soul into the event and the music.
The Sultans absolutely made our wedding! I promise if you book them you will not be disappointed. My family is very particular about music and the Sultans lived up to every expectation that my husband and I had. From pop, disco, Motown, rock... they did it all! Our guests did not stop dancing from the moment the wedding started until well after the wedding ended. After all our planning there was nothing better to hear from our guests that “the band was amazing” and that “that band was the best they’ve ever heard”. After being to lots of wedding as a guest myself the music can really make me break the night... do yourself a favor and book the sultans, you won’t regret it!
The Sultans truly made our wedding reception! As soon as they started playing, all guests flooded the dance floor and never left. They brought amazing energy and played great songs from start to finish. We also appreciate that they played songs that all guests know & love, as we wanted everyone to feel included. The Sultans are incredibly talented and each band member made a lasting impression. We still get compliments about how much our guests loved our wedding band! We knew they would be great, but they truly exceeded expectations. We couldn't be happier with the entertainment they provided and I highly recommend them.
SULTANS ARE THE BEST!!! From the beginning stages with dealing with Leslie to the day of the wedding everything was fantastic. Leslie is quick to respond to emails and very helpful. Our wedding would not of been the same without The Sultans. They are full of energy and kept everyone dancing all night long. One month later guests are still talking about how awesome the band way. We are SOOO happy we choose them for our wedding!!!!!!
Live music was a huge priority for our wedding as we have several musicians in the family. The Sultans of Swing did not disappoint! We were a bit worried at first because there were no opportunities to hear the band live before we booked, and we were frustrated at times by the process because we paid extra to reserve particular musicians (Erin and Jake), but were met with resistance and had to follow up several times to feel confident that this would actually happen. However, everything worked out in the end, and they even sent an extra singer who ended up being great at getting people on the dance floor and having a good time. The groom’s 90 year old grandmother even hit the dance floor, and everyone of all ages had a blast! We are still hearing about what a great time everyone had. Erin and Jake were excellent choices and we would definitely recommend them!
Look no further than The Sultans, even if you haven't heard them live!
We were so incredibly pleased with every single member of seven-person band, The Sultans, that came to play at our reception. They were the epitome of professionalism and performance. Our guests danced the entire time they played and everyone raved about the live entertainment following the event.
We specifically appreciated that the band took our requests and musical taste to heart. The was no point in the evening that they strayed from our vision. We also appreciated their energy. Several members of the band came out into the crowd to interact with our guests. Of course, everyone loved this!
Leslie was also incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the planning process. It has been a pleasure working with the entire team both leading up to the wedding and during the event. The Sultans were sheer perfection and I would recommend them to anyone!
The bar was high for our wedding band as my husband made a living via a live music band in his 20s. We also had the challenge of bringing together young and old from two different continents with hopes that everyone would be on the dance floor.
All I can say is The Sultans of Swing delivered an evening well beyond our expectations. It was incredible. Every person at our wedding hit the dance floor and many are still talking about the band and all said the ceremony music was the best they ever heard. Jerry Bennet himself came by our reception to ensure everything was going well, which we really appreciated.
So, my ultimate advice, if you want folks to hurry through the meal so they can make it to the dance floor, The Sultans of Swing is the band for you!
Being a professional, touring musician for many years, my standards for live music are very high and the Sultans exceeded all of my expectations! The vocalists and musicians were artists of the highest calibre. They played a big part in making my wedding night one of the most joyous, memorable, and funky of my life. Thank you!
Sultans of Swing were amazing for our wedding. The singer was incredible and they did a great job playing a great mix of music. They also played our ceremony and it couldn't have worked out better.
If you want you and your guests to be dancing all night long then choose Jerry Bennett Entertainment! The Sultan's of Swing were INCREDIBLE!! My guests and I were dancing the entire night! Friends from out of town want them for their weddings across the country after coming to our wedding :)
