The Walkens

e stage to sing a song and it was the most memorable moment of the night! Events By Sloane loves them!

ow of the event, sent us a list of songs to review, and at the wedding he read the crowd perfectly and kept the entire party dancing from start to finish. Everyone complemented how fun the band was! Thanks again!

first dance and for the father/bride dance. Our friends are still raving about them! They are professional and very easy to work with. I would recommend them for ANY event!!

ur desires to reality and even sang our wedding song for our first dance. Our family did not make their lives easy but they never complained and gave a star performance. Thank you so so so so much! Can we get married again just so we can have The Walkens play?????

as tapping her toes and singing along! Be sure to ask if you have a special song -- they will learn it just for you. If you are looking not just for a wedding band, but a real custom party, then definitely book the Walkens!

ic preferences and all the details to make their performance more personalized. It's like they are good friends you've had for years that are playing at your wedding. They worked with us to pick special songs with a great flow, incredible banter as needed, so amazing. I can say without a doubt they were a big part of what made our wedding such a memorable night for us and our guests!

ld definitely use them again for another event!

enjoyed, enjoy, can dance to, and caters to all tastes. I always appreciate the variety and ways they engage with the guests also. I recommend them for your wedding or any occasion!

l of my questions and just put my mind at ease. On the day of the performance, they showed up on time, set up their gear and were ready to go when the reception started. Right from the beginning they engaged the audience, played every genre of music requested and had everyone on their feet dancing. I heard from nearly every person there how great the band was - I was on cloud nine it was such a success. I can't say enough about this band. You can't go wrong with The Walkens!

f our guests complimented us on the band and mentioned that it was the most fun band they have experienced at a wedding!

and continue to talk about how wonderful they were. We HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding! We can't say enough positive things about the band. If you can get them for your wedding date, you'll be so happy!!!! Worth every penny!

wedding. They were able to perform all our requests and modify them to exactly how we wanted ( first dance/ parent dances, etc.) and sounded awesome the whole time! I know I didn't want to stop dancing all night because of how great they sounded and how fun they were. The Walkens did an awesome job raising the energy level and got our guest to dance and have a blast. From what we have heard our guest were also just as impressed as we were, The band also got my husband and his best man up on stage to play the trumpet with them ( which was pretty incredible in my opinion!). They had a awesome playlist to choose the songs you wanted to hear and even took requests throughout the night. We can not thank the band enough for an awesome night and highly recommend The Walkens for any event big or small! A band is definitely the way to go and The Walkens is definitely the band to choose!

, and even accommodated requests on site. Tod is a total professional and was great to work with in the planning. The band on-site was spectacular! I can't tell you how many times that night and in the weeks following, I heard: "That band was AWESOME!!" I can't recommend The Walkens highly enough!

ate with, learned new songs, flexible, and insanely talented. We booked them as a 6 person band and it was the best decision. As a bride and groom, you want your guest to have a great time and we agree that this band MADE OUR WEDDING AMAZING! People are still RAVING about the bands weeks after the wedding!

questions. Since we had a destination wedding in Tucson, we were not able to see them perform beforehand but we were very pleased. They Walkens were happy to learn our three song choices for the ceremony, and had an extensive set list we could choose from for the reception. They sounded great, and were more than happy to accommodate our last minute request. Being from Chicago, we happened to get married during game 7 as the Cubs were potentially entering the World Series. The Walkens not only made regular score announcements during the reception, but also let our guests come up and sing the Chicago win song after the Cubs won the game! Everyone at our wedding had a great time, and we got many compliments on the band! We would definitely recommend the Walkens for your wedding!

n! They sounded exactly like the recordings of the songs...BUT BETTER! We were lucky that the Walkens were willing to learn songs for our reception and first dance. Again, their voices and instruments were perfect. We had many of our guests come up to us and compliment the band. The energy was high all night and the dance floor packed! Our wedding would not have been the same without them. We highly recommend!

!!

ens proved me right and then some!! These guys are very professional and Tod was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend The Walkens for your wedding or event!!

ecommend them for your wedding or event. It will be way more fun if you have this great band.

and look forward to seeing them again around the valley!

and great group of people. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys!

the song list was great and my fiancé and I asked for a few special requests and not only was Tod Miller helpful, but went out of his way to make sure those requests were met. I am beyond thrilled that we booked this band.

rer fell behind. Our guests raved about them and their music was well planned and performed. I would highly recommend this group to anybody looking for live entertainment and an energetic pulse to their event.

nal, and incredibly fun. They have a great energy, and every song they played was well done. Communication leading up to the wedding was great - Tod was easy to get a hold of and very responsive. He answered all of our questions before hand, and we went into the night confident and knowing exactly what to expect. We had guests come up to us all night, and the following day, commenting on how much they loved the band, and what a great time they had dancing. We picked a song set that had a country / classic rock spin, and they totally nailed it - while also nailing every pop song that we threw onto the list. They truly made our night special and FUN. We'd recommend them to anybody and everybody, 100 times over. - Jeff and Marissa, 04/16/16

knew that we had to have at our wedding was a great band and The Walkens more than delivered. We planned our wedding from across the country and I was incredibly nervous about picking the right band, especially since I wouldn’t be able to see them play ahead of time. I could not have been more relieved with our decision to book The Walkens! The dance floor was literally packed all night. From our college friends in New York and Boston (ages 20/30s) to our parents’ friends (age 50/60s) everyone was dancing and singing along. The band even allowed my cousin with special needs to come up and sing with them which made our night! We opted to have Melissa join the guys as a female vocalist and she was amazing! A great addition! Do yourself a favor and book The Walkens for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!

able to adjust the band count to our budget. We used them for acoustic during the cocktail hour and band for the reception. They sent an EXTENSIVE song list that we highlighted what we liked and they ran with it from there. They even learned our first dance song! We didn't have to worry about a thing other than provide a timeline...they were able to emcee and kept the crowd going. The dance floor was packed all night long, which was all we wanted! The Walken's were an incredible find, and I would recommend them ALL DAY LONG for your wedding. Absolutely perfect and all our guests thought so too! Hire them TODAY!!

area!

for our last child's wedding music. Having a live band was very important to us. We had gone to quite a few showcases that Ashlyn had set up when she came out and always kept coming back to The Walkens. Being wedding photographers ourselves for 25 years, the daunting task of just who can provide the entertainment that will make one of the most important days of your child's life something that will be fun, emotional and happy, I can't begin to explain just how important that was to us. Due to the fact that it was a destination wedding for everyone but us, as well as, Ashlyn and Ben not being able to come out a lot during the planning and then when she did come out, you then were sick and she couldn't hear you play, Ashlyn had to take a leap of faith. Both she and Ben have had nothing but accolades to say about how great the music was. I can't tell you how many friends and family came up to us remarking on how great you all were. When you played Pink Floyd for Rich, it was one of the musical highlights of his evening. We can't thank you enough for taking our wedding and making it the fun event we were envisioning.

The selection of music was exactly what we wanted and had our guests dancing all night.

didn't expect that they would perform a set that was musically flawless and incredibly exciting from the first beat. From vocals to guitar work, these guys flat-out rock. They played an fabulous array of tunes - there was something for everyone in our 140 person party. Additionally, Tod was an entertaining emcee and all the guys are respectful and immensely talented. Tod even took some extra pains to make sure that a music video I made for my wife would play perfectly for an unforgettable first dance. If you're thinking about hiring The Walkens for your event, get off the fence before the opportunity is gone. They're as solid as it gets.

he crowd loved their music. We had over 200 people attend the wedding which included all ages. People stayed and danced all the way up to the end of the evening. The mix of music was great. Tod was very responsive. Whenever I emailed him with questions or requests he immediately responded. Their set up was quick and professional looking. Very friendly guys who interacted with the audience very well. They accommodated all of our requests to use their microphone for announcements and the various toasts and statements that were made. They even played quiet music during dinner when it wasn't part of the contract and they also had nice music playing from their IPad when they weren't performing. The band members were all outstanding musicians and the singing was great. I highly recommend these guys as they are professionals who are super talented.

rom an entertainment standpoint, which actually made the "transitions" of our evening - from intros to dinner to toasts to dinner - absolutely perfect! Everyone danced the entire night! They are a MUST-HAVE for any event! HIRE THESE GUYS... you will be so happy! =)

k with and they are prompt communicators and extremely accommodating. People of all ages will be on the dance floor if you hire them. We love them!

not only did they learn the songs for us, they performed them perfectly! We had family members who don't dance hanging out on the dance floor most of the night too! Tod was very professional, easy to work with and even made a few suggestions that worked out great! Thank you again!!

ht!

I appreciated his laid back personality in the crazy wedding industry. The Walkens were hands down the best choice in vendors I made!

we made all wedding next to the spare rib mac & cheese! Tod was great to work with throughout the entire planning process and very accommodating. They played the best set list and absolutely crushed it! There was music played throughout the night that was fun for everyone at the wedding, and far exceeded expectations. A truly memorable experience!
