In my over two decades of experience in the music industry, I've had the pleasure of working with such artists as Ms. Lauryn Hill, Aloe Blacc, Talib Kweli, and Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles. After years of touring, everywhere from Omaha to Monaco, I relocated from New York City to Omaha, NE. I gathered my favorite musicians and performers from around the area and formed The Toast. We're not your stereotypical, cheesy wedding band—we exist for those of you who can tell the difference. If you want a seamless, professional band with serious chops, we're your band. Will your wedding be next?

Wow, you will not regret hiring the toast! We, last minute, chose to hire a band. The process we experienced was exceptional. My first interaction was directly with the owner, who...
asked about our vision and broke down all the "unknowns" over a phone call. After that conversation, an assistant keeps in contact with you. Ours happened to be one of the musicians on the night of (not sure if its always like that). Very responsive and really organized. I sent many emails updating information, and they were on top of it (shout out to Alex!). Also, I had a very tight music list I was okay with (Christian), and a lot of those songs were not on their websites list. They really do take requests of songs, and the band made it sound like it was their personal favorites/always played. The band truly enjoyed the art, and you could tell they were having fun! Also, one of the band members had an emergency (a unexpected death, so a legitimate reason) hours before our wedding. They subbed in another band member, and you could not tell the difference. Our venue had a lot of sound bouncing issues, that they came early and set up beautifully so that it wasn't noticed at all. They know their trade. Also, they are so receptive to the crowd's response, and will tailor the music accordingly. It truly was worth every penny, and forever grateful to them.
Also - to note - people from our wedding who weren't able to dance told us it was like a concert for them and thoroughly enjoyed it.
My only regret was not being able to thank them in person more, as it meant so much to us (but being a bride/groom keeps you busy!! haha).

Do not hesitate to book with the Toast, in fact, DO IT NOW! We worked with Andrew ( owner and organizer) for our wedding. The Toast provided live music for our ceremony, cocktail h...
our, and reception party. As a couple honing from Los Angeles, we had high expectations for our entertainment- the Toast surpassed all of our expectations. The Toast has the most TALENTED collection of artists and musicians who provide live, curated, music for ANY genre or event. From our very first meeting, it was apparent that Andrew was a PRO and extremely experienced- he led us through every detail and provided suggestions when needed. It was a pleasure to work with such experienced artists leading up to our wedding. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful and responsive Andrew was through the wedding planning process. My husband and i had very specific requests for the music and vibe that we wanted to create, but with little to no musical experience, we did not know how to translate that into musical sounds. I put all of my trust into Andrew and the Toast, and I am SO GLAD i did. Andrew was able to personally curate everything we DREAMED of. It was so incredible to see it all FLAWLESSLY come together for our wedding ceremony music. BOOK WITH THE TOAST, you will not regret it!!
