Highly Recommend!
Words can’t describe the fun these guys bring to the dance floor. I mean. WOW.
From start to finish Damien was so easy and pleasant to work with. They were able to honor all of our requests. We used the harp for the ceremony and Kristy was unbelievable. She was able to play the songs we wanted. Overall just a perfect experience. Thank you for making our wedding a night to never forget!

We could not be happier that we had The Wedding Crashers perform at our September 2024 wedding at Perona Farms! We had a string trio at our ceremony, which sounded (and looked) beautiful. For our reception, the 9 piece band kept the party going and the dance floor packed all night long!! We didn’t give them much guidance - just to read the room and play what they thought would be a hit - and boy did they do just that! The sounded INCREDIBLE live, performed with great energy, and we loved their song selections. If you are considering booking The Wedding Crashers for your wedding, do it!! You'll be happy you did.

Damien and the Sumar team were fantastic and made our wedding so fun and special! We booked The Wedding Crashers for our reception and their harpist for our ceremony. Damien worked with us for weeks leading up to our late June wedding to confirm every detail and helped us curate the perfect playlist. He even helped us customize a few songs so that they would have maximum impact. We unfortunately had a sudden rain delay to our ceremony but Damien didn’t miss a beat and perfectly adjusted to ensure everything ran smoothly. The harpist was absolutely beautiful and made our ceremony feel like it was straight out of a story book. The wedding crashes ensured that our dance floor was always packed and the party never slowed down Its been a week since our wedding our guests are still raving about how amazing they were! You will not regret booking them!

The Wedding Crashers we’re the most wonderful, talented, professional, and entertaining band we ever could have asked for. They matched the style of music we spoke about in our pre-wedding meeting to perfection, they even played specific ABBA and Salsa music we had requested when they were taking short breaks. They had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Also, they let me as the bride (and lifelong d drummer), feature as the drummer in two songs that are special to us as a couple- and one of them wasn’t even planned beforehand. I would recommend this band to any bride and groom, and my sister is actually hiring them for her wedding next year, and I absolutely can’t wait to attend as a guest so I can dance the night away again with the Wedding Crashers. Nothing but the highest praise!
Love,
The New Mr & Mrs Rodriguez

The Wedding Crashers were amazing and everything we could have asked for in a band. They brought great energy, unbelievable singing and their own flavor to the songs they played. They are all so talented and made it a very enjoyable night on the dance floor. Since our wedding we have had many guests reaching out to us to complement the Wedding Crashers. They learned how to play and absolutely crushed Burning Down The House for us! 10/10 recommend!!

The Wedding Crashers were absolutely amazing - the dance floor was packed the whole night and people are still talking about how incredible they are. From the start, I really trusted Damien's ability to read the room and appreciated that he wasn't going to make any promises that he wasn't sure would work for the crowd. If you want your guests of all ages to have a blast at your wedding - you can't go wrong with the wedding crashers!!

Having the Wedding Crashers at our wedding was one of the best decisions that we made! We got married a little over a month ago and our guests are still raving about the band. From the beginning, Damien was friendly and easy to work with in getting our date reserved and contract set up. As our date approached, Kristy was prompt and answered all of our questions. A small note - if you are working with a coordinator, it was communicated to us early in our contract by Sumar that they prefers to work directly with the couple and venue contact. This ended up working out very well for us and led to a very seamless wedding day, but it did involve a little more contact on our end as a go-between in trying to keep our coordinator in the loop in the general flow of the day.
We went with a ten-piece band, and each musician was so talented across all genres they played. All of our first dance songs were recordings, but there were a few special request songs we inquired about to see if they were in their repertoire to potentially play throughout the night. When we asked about this, I wasn’t sure if it would be possible for them to play them, but they completely blew us out of the water. Not only did they play the general requests we asked for, but it turns out they specifically learned one of the songs for our event. It was a HUGE hit, and we didn’t even find out until afterwards that they learned it just for that night. I was thrilled they took the time to do that.
Additionally, I asked if they could play a specific song that was a personal request from me, and not only did they play this song but the bandleader actually came to find me and let me know they were about to play it so I could be out on the dance floor enjoying it. That extra step meant so much to me. Throughout the whole reception, there was never a moment when the vibe wasn’t high and everyone was out on the dance floor. They played a mix of songs that made us and our friends happy, in addition to the classics that had our entire families dancing all night. And as an added bonus, we got to relive some of our guests’ best dance moves on the Wedding Crashers' social media story the next day. We would highly recommend the Wedding crashers!

The Wedding Crashers were AMAZING!! The most important thing for me when planning our wedding was making sure the dance floor was packed from start to finish. The Wedding Crashers absolutely delivered on that wish. They curated a set list that was fun and high energy the entire time. They were incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding so much more special. Everyone kept saying how awesome the band was and a handful of people told us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. I encourage everyone to book the Wedding Crashers for their wedding. You will be blown away by the level of professionalism, showmanship, and crowd engagement they will provide.

I hired the Wedding Crashers based on reviews alone--I had never heard them live. I was petrified to hire a band without having heard them, but gosh, we are SO happy with our decision. The Wedding Crashers are absolutely unbelievable. They are so talented, energetic, and just an overall rock star group. They kept the dance floor PACKED all evening long. Damien is also incredibly responsive and easy to work with. We have received more compliments on the band than any other wedding vendor--and multiple guests have already asked us to forward the Wedding Crashers' contact information so they can hire them for their upcoming weddings! We could not recommend the Wedding Crashers more highly.

Damien and team were so amazing! They were very receptive to our music ideas for the wedding and executed to perfection. Not only was the music fantastic, Damien had an amazing sense for the flow of the night and had true command over the room.
If you're looking for someone to get people on their feet and execute a seamless wedding, The Wedding Crashers should be your go to! We're incredibly grateful we chose them for our big day.

The Wedding Crashers were SOOOO much fun to have at our wedding. To be honest the dance floor was the thing that made me the most anxious throughout the planning process and it could not have been more fun! Our guests also adored the photobooth and the cold sparklers - definitely recommend them as add-ons! As someone who debated live band or DJ for the longest time, I have to say that a band (and, specifically, The Wedding Crashers) was the correct choice.

The Wedding Crashers played our wedding at the Lake Mohawk Country Club in Sparta, NJ and they were fantastic! From the start of the reception they had our dance floor packed, and both young and older guests were dancing all night! It has been over a month and our guests are still talking about them. There was almost universal agreement that this was the best wedding band everyone had seen. The band lead Damien was also very easy to work with throughout the process. We would strongly recommend the Wedding Crashers for your wedding!

We had my daughter’s wedding on the family property. There were many parts to getting the ceremony and reception to all be coordinated. The Wedding Crashers were very accommodating and even changed their set up schedule at the last minute to make everything run smoothly. Of course we were very happy they did that but then they took the stage …..Wow! Everyone was dancing. After a couple of songs the band knew exactly what the crowd
wanted to dance to. People came up to me all night and are still saying days later “ the band was fantastic.”

The Wedding Crashers are on another level when it comes to wedding bands, and just really, bands in general. We were searching for our vendors amidst peak Covid-19, when everything was shut down, so we couldn't go to any expos to hear bands in person. My husband and I watched a few videos of the Wedding Crashers and we knew we had to have them for our big day. Our first Zoom meeting with Damien sealed the deal! The whole team is so kind and easy to work with, not to mention, they know what they're doing and they know how to read a room. We had guests coming up to us the entire night, and still have guests texting us two months later about how amazing they were. They honestly took our reception to the next level and people were up and dancing the entire evening, scream-singing all the songs. I even had a very particular song request for our walk-out and wanted them to play it again at another point in the night, and they did. They really value making the music a blend of your personal preferences, and also songs they know everyone will love. Book The Wedding Crashers; you will NOT regret it! Thank you, Damien and co. for everything!!!

The Wedding Crashers band was absolutely fantastic! Finding vendors during the peak of the pandemic was difficult (especially a band). We watched countless YouTube videos and spoke with various band managers but the real difference was Damien. Damien was not only our direct point of contact but he was also a member of the band. It was comforting to know that the person we were speaking to would actually be performing on our wedding day. Damien and his team were super responsive throughout the process, which was VERY important to us.
Another thing we loved is that the Wedding Crashers do not use a set list but rather select songs based on the energy of the crowd. After the wedding, all of our guests told us how amazing the band was - which we already knew because the dance floor was packed all night long. Even at the end of the night when it was time to transition to the After Party, the guests started chanting, “ONE MORE SONG!'' and they played one more song for us. It was an absolutely incredible experience.
We also booked one of their DJs for the After Party, and he was playing hit after hit. It was great having two different vibes for our reception (band) vs after party (DJ). We had friends of ours text us one week later to tell us that they couldn’t stop thinking about how great the DJ was. 100/10 would definitely recommend!!!

Thank you to the wedding crashers for making our day so special. They had everyone up and dancing the entire night and sounded absolutely amazing. The variety of music was great with a good mix . We did not provide a big play list, maybe 4 -5 songs, and as promised, they really did play to the room. We still have people coming up to us after telling us how great they sounded and how much fun they had. I can also say they made the process easy from start to finish. This was a very easy 5 star rating to give.

If I could give 100+ stars/likes I would!! The Wedding Crashers Band were out of this world amazing! We had 250+ guests at our wedding and they brought a 10 person band. They absolutely crushed it. Every song was a hit! They played all genres of music and everyone danced the entire night. There wasn't a song that killed the mood or emptied the dance floor. From the moment they started to the very end, the dance floor was packed. They were so good that at the end of the night everyone chanted "One more song" and they delivered one more song! The band was fun and energetic. Weeks later and we still have guests talking about how amazing they were. I HIGHLY recommend using them and will definitely be using them again for other events!

A versatile band and they are so engaging / really get guests pumped up! The singers’ voices for the first dances / slower songs were honestly breathtaking. Such an incredible night! They were also so easy & flexible to work with.. it was all better than I even imagined. My family & I are so thankful that we booked them!

The Wedding Crashers were incredible. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long! Throughout the process, they were so easy to work with. Damien listened to our needs and there was no issue with requesting certain songs. Some bands will tell you "we will only learn up to 2 new songs"... but not the Wedding Crashers. They said "we're musicians. it's what we do". I knew I could trust them to set the vibe through the reception – from Sinatra to Springsteen to The Killers. And our guests agreed! We are still getting calls and texts about what a great party it was and how awesome the band was. Having people on the dance floor as so important to us, and The Wedding Crashers did not disappoint!!

Bottom line: It has been two weeks since the wedding and we are still getting feedback telling us how great the Wedding Crashers were. They sounded amazing, they picked great songs that pleased everyone, and really elevated the event.
We didn’t provide a specific list of songs to play or to avoid, and the band masterfully read the room and struck a balance between classics, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s that was nailed down to an art. The dance floor was alive during the entire time. All our parents - with very different musical tastes - were happy, and so were all of our friends.
Even though the venue was on the smaller side, the sound was crisp, clean, clear and not overwhelming. At no point did I feel that the drums were too much, or that the bass was overtaking everything, and the great sound quality helped a lot to bring and to keep people on the dance floor.
The Jazz Quartet got great reviews as well, everyone said it set a wonderful tone for the cocktail hour.
The staff at Sumar are great communicators, and were patient while answering all our questions. They didn’t mind when we changed plans several times, and worked with us even if we did things at the last minute.
Final quote from the best man (who is also a drummer), during the event: “I’m torn between dancing with you and just standing at the front and watching them play”. True story.

The Wedding Crashers were a huge success at Shannon and Kyle's wedding. The guests were on the dance floor all night and the place was literally rocking! They kept the party going all night and got everyone out there enjoying themselves song after song, hour after hour! We had a wonderful time and we loved seeing Shannon and Kyle so happy . They were dancing all night with their friends and family and I could tell it was exactly how they had hoped it would be. I know the Hora was exactly what we wanted - the 2nd horn was definitely an enhancement for that, so thank you for suggesting it. The singers were amazing and the energy from all the band was continuous all evening. The guests are telling us this was literally the best wedding they had ever been to, and sure part of it was the charismatic and stunning bride and groom, certainly, and the food and venue left nothing to be desired for sure as well, but the band made it - hands down - it was the band that left everyone feeling what they had been missing this past year and a half - fun! I have guests who swear they didn't take a break all night! I have others who are already recommending th3m for upcoming events, near and far. The only thing to note is that after booking, it is very hard to get a hold of them to communicate with them directly. The manager is also a band member so they are very busy playing and do not seem to prioritize you until you get a week or so out to your wedding date. So make sure upon signing and paying that you have clarity on all points and on expectations for future communication. We had not had meals for the band in the contract, and we had not communicated about what would be necessary for the hora we wanted, so the week before got a bit hectic with adding in meals for 10 members and adding a horn to the band to meet what was needed. But the band itself was beyond anything we could have wanted. They were amazing and I highly recommend them!

There are truly no words to describe how unbelievable the wedding crashers band were!!! Our wedding was on 6/19/21 and a band was one of the most important vendors we booked. We know how important a band can be in making the party and we are forever thankful we decided on the Wedding Crashers. The Wedding Crashers brought the most unbelievable talent and energy to our day - our guests literally never stopped dancing or left the dance floor the entire night. The music was incredible from start to finish and Damien and team knows how to read a crowd so that everyone stayed on the dance floor. Every song they played was on point and they knew how to cater to the room what song would be best and how to get everyone up and dancing! Their energy is truly unparalleled, and Damien is truly one of a kind - he is absolute professional. Damien and the rest of the band clearly love what they do and it truly shows. The wedding crashers were the ultimate highlight of the party and all of our guests said they were the best band they've ever heard or seen. We are forever thankful for the the wedding crashers for making our wedding so special and putting on a performance for our wedding that we will never forget! Multiple guests have reached out for their contact info already. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and professional band for their wedding.

We have gotten so many compliments about the music they played and how great they were. People were out on the dance floor all night and we all had a blast! Before the wedding I had people asking why we decided on a band instead of a DJ and at the wedding the said "they are a really great band, I see why you picked them!"

Damien and his band, The Wedding Crashers, made sure that our wedding reception was exactly as we had envisioned. They read the room, keep the energy high through the entire evening, and included in their price is a sound guy, who keeps things balanced (a rarity in the wedding band industry.)
The band was the talk of our wedding reception, and all of their planning plus our notes (what to play, what not to play, etc.) were taken into consideration and exceeded. Most bands make you pick from a list of what they will play, but TWC learns what YOU want to hear! Cannot recommend highly enough for a wedding or event!

When we decided we were going to hire a band for our daughters wedding, we started the process of going to showcases, interviewing some, etc. We had also made an appointment with Damien from Sumar Entertainment. We never looked any further. From the minute we met Damien we just knew he was our guy! The chemistry was there! He’s young, energetic, has a great sense of humor and plays an amazing guitar!!! You can tell right away the pride and dedication to his craft. The name of the band at the wedding was The Wedding Crashers... how great is that!! And they rocked the room all night long! From their vocals to the instruments.. the talent is incredible! We felt like we were at a concert. Our guests have not stopped raving about the music in the room that night!
Damien will provide other musicians for you to choose from as well. We had a saxophone and piano duo for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It was beautiful. We would hire them again without thinking twice. Anyone looking for live music for their event should contact Sumar! Highly recommend!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing The Wedding Crashers are. We knew they were good when we booked them, but they completely exceeded our expectations. They performed at our wedding at the Park Chateau and they were truly unbelievable. The dance floor was completely full the entire night. At the end of the night, we chanted “one more song” TWICE and they kept on going. We didn’t have to tell them or give them a list of songs to play and they knew exactly what to play to keep everyone going.Not only were they amazing at the reception, but at the ceremony as well. Every single guest has raved about how talented they were.Damien and the rest of the group, you guys are UNBELIEVABLE and thank you for making our wedding an unforgettable night.

After attending a friend's wedding last year, we decided to hire the Wedding Crashers to play at our wedding in the Hudson Valley earlier this month. Damien, Kristy, and the entire band were phenomenal - our guests have not stopped talking about the music and how much fun they had. The dance floor was packed all night and they played a selection of songs ranging from the Spice Girls to Bon Jovi to Bruno Mars. They really offered something for every one of our guests, no matter what age. We trusted them to run the show, and they were able to accommodate our requests, including learning our wedding song for us. We also used their services for our ceremony and cocktail hour which made things easy to coordinate. We would absolutely recommend the Wedding Crashers based on our experience both as the couple getting married and as guests at another event!

The Wedding Crashers are the best band you could ever find!!! They performed at my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding and they are all wonderful, amazing, talented, professional, energetic and fun! My feet just stopped aching from all the dancing! Actually, the conversation at the breakfast the following morning focused around friends and family (the older adults!) commenting on how wonderful the band was and how their feet, knees and hips were aching from dancing like they haven’t done in years! The “younger generation” also raved about The Wedding Crashers being THE BEST BAND EVER! “Where did you find this amazing band?” was the phrase of the weekend. They succeeded in getting everyone out on the dance floor.
In addition, The Wedding Crashers know how to do the Hora! This traditional dance was the best I have ever heard. Again, friends and family couldn’t believe how expertly they performed and sang Hava Nagila. It was so much fun and set the tone for an energetic evening!
When we first spoke with Damien, I knew he was unlike some of the other bands we had encountered. He was honest, professional, talented and trustworthy throughout the entire process.
I would recommend Damien and The Wedding Crashers for any event. They know how to make a party a party to remember!

Damien, Kristy and crew totally brought the house down at our wedding this past weekend. From the start when we were searching vendors, they were the only band we wanted to work with - they are leaps and bounds ahead of other bands in their price point. Damien worked with us to really customize our day, and went so far as to learn sheet music from an EDM song for our ceremony, learned our first dance song and parents dances, included opening music that we asked for as a surprise, rode a chairlift to bring our ceremony musicians to the top of a mountain, and bought a friend of mine up on stage at the end of the night to sing a song that they learned at my request. They made us feel like their #1 priority the entire time leading up to our wedding, and we are absolutely floored at their performance. People kept coming up to me during the night to give compliments about them, saying they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. They have such a large breadth of songs and performed everything from Frank Sinatra to Beyoncé flawlessly. My goal was to have everyone on the dance floor the whole time and that's absolutely what happened. I am so grateful for their expertise, ability to read a crowd, and taking all of our requests in stride. BOOK THEM!!!

The Wedding Crashers are the best band ever!! They were truly amazing and provided the most unbelievable entertainment at our wedding. Their energy is amazing and they got the whole room up and dancing, even people who never dance were spending the night on the dance floor. We got so many compliments on the band, and still are even two months later. They are not only extremely talented musicians, but also great event planners and know exactly how to structure the night in order to keep everyone having fun. Working with them through all the planning was also great- Damien and his team are so organized and pleasant and make everything so stress-free. I can’t wait to attend another wedding with the Wedding Crashers - they are so much fun!!!!

The Wedding Crashers did an amazing job at our wedding. Our guests didn’t want them to end and our wedding was already extended an hour. We are still getting messages from people saying how great the band was, someone we know is thinking of using them for their wedding. I would definitely recommend them!

If you are looking for a party, there is no other band that will make that happen more than the Wedding Crashers! They are true professionals and know how to keep a crowd dancing all night long! These musicians are so talented and can play ANYTHING! One of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding, we are still getting compliments months after our wedding! We all agree, the Wedding Crashers are AMAZING!

The Wedding Crashers made our wedding cocktail hour and reception a night to remember for us and our guests. We were beyond pleased with Damien and the band from the moment we discovered them through recommendations from friends until we lost our voices singing along with them at the conclusion of our wedding night. Our venue and so many reviews online also recommended them.
From the beginning of the planning process, Damien considered our priorities. He listened and gave suggestions and advice. He projected confidence and familiarity with receptions such as ours and was super-familiar with our venue.
Damien was always a phone call away. Our conversations with Damien in-person in the office or over the phone were always friendly, informative and efficient. He valued our time and knew when we wanted fast, quick answers or a more in-depth conversation. Our questions, no matter how small, were always answered thoroughly. He explained things clearly if we were confused and helped us plan aspects of the reception we had not even considered. Throughout our months of interactions, Damien would reply to phone messages within minutes.
Damien made our payments convenient for us.
Damien invited us to multiple showcases for the band. After being welcomed into their studio with wine and beer and listening to their set that had us up dancing and singing along, we left smiling, entertained, and sure we had chosen the best band for our wedding.
The Wedding Crashers learned our first dance song, our father-daughter dance song, and a song we wanted played during the party. The songs sounded as if they had been playing them for years! Damien planned, coordinated, and executed our introduction at the reception exactly as we wanted it, which set the tone for the rest of the evening. He organized our wedding party’s entrances and MC’d the evening with precision and vigor.
Our dance floor was packed the entire evening. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had. Young and old were up dancing throughout. Damien and the rest of the band were fun, friendly, and loved interacting with our guests. They did not just stand behind the bandstand and play; they were on the dance floor, up dancing and rocking with the rest of us! The band knew how to get people excited and ready to dance and what to play during dinner. The volume was perfect: never too-loud but still made guests stop what they were doing and run to the dance floor. They really know how to party!!
Save yourself time, money, and aggravation. Choose The Wedding Crashers for your wedding or event and you will enjoy the ease of planning and be rocking and dancing the entire evening!

The Wedding Crashers is hands down the best band in this industry. I am not easy to please and Damien was everything you could ever hope for in a band leader. He read the crowd perfectly, and somehow chose music that all our guests loved. The dance floor was full the entire time. Since the wedding, my phone has rung off the hook with many of my guests saying it was the best band they have ever heard, and it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. Damien made sure my daughter's wedding was the perfect wedding she had long dreamed of. In fact, at the end of the wedding, the crowd on the dance floor begged in unison for "one more dance", and Damien delivered. I have never experienced that before. We had the wedding in a country club and were looking for elegance. We received that and more. Each of the three singers were also excellent and each sang songs that fit their particular vocals. I can not recommend this band highly enough. This band will make your entire event memorable.

There are not enough wonderful things I can say about The Wedding Crashers. They are worth every penny and more! Mine and my husband's wedding was over 6 months ago, and we still are constantly commended on our band choice. If you are looking for a band of pure elegance, class, and an all around good time, The Wedding Crashers are your band, for sure! They are also very reasonably priced. We feel like we got a steal for how amazing they are; from day one sitting down with them, to the very last note played at our wedding. Even after the wedding, we still associate with them on social media and we watch what they're up to in order to see where we can go to see them play. When asked to do an interview about The Wedding Crashers for this year's Spring/Summer issue of Manhattan Bride, there was no hesitation to say "Heck Yes!"
They are such good-hearted and kind people as well, which was such a breath of fresh air as it alleviated so much of the worry as we were going through the whole wedding planning process.
Speaking of process, Damien, the owner and band leader, is super organized and extremely knowledgeable about his craft. He was open and honest about what he thought about ideas expressed, whether right for our wedding or wrong, and we talked things out and found solutions together for certain decisions. We filled in the rest of the blanks they needed, and handed the reins to the band, worrying about nothing but getting ourselves ready on the day of the wedding.
My husband and I did a choreographed dance, and they sang and played our song so beautifully and at the perfect pace. We also requested a solo violinist. They brought in a professional who was actually on tour with our favorite musician, Lindsey Stirling! Damien MC'd the entire reception with personality that kept people engaged the whole night, making everything so personal to us, and our guests. I can go on and on.
I say this with 110% sincerity. The Wedding Crashers are The Best, and they do it with true professionalism, class, and ease. You will not only enjoy them, but you will be proud to say that they were your band. They undeniably made mine and my husband's wedding dreams come true!

Let me start off by saying my wedding day was the PERFECT day, from the weather to the ceremony and the flowers and most definitely the reception.
When I think of weddings, I believe that people will remember two things about them: the food and the entertainment. I knew that my venue, the Valley Regency, has AMAZING food, but I needed my entertainment to be just as amazing. For my wedding, I knew that I wanted some type of live music. I was looking into a DJ/Band hybrid kind of thing to see if there was a more affordable option. I went to a lot of showcases and listened to a lot of bands. None of them really had that wow factor though. I knew if I wasn't blown away, neither would me guests. I actually reached out to my venue for help. They recommended Sumar Entertainment, the Wedding Crashers band. I got in contact with Damien, the owner of the company, and was set to come with my fiance and father to their next showcase which they had at the studio in their own office. They were AMAZING! We actually hired them on the spot. I teared up a little during their set because I knew I had just found my wedding band. Not only did I get their whole band for my reception, I had a harpist for the ceremony and a keyboardist for the cocktail hour. This band is the real deal. They are so good and sounded just like the actual songs on the radio. I still have people coming up to me telling me how amazing they were. Everyone tells me how I had the best wedding ever and I definitely think I have the Wedding Crashers to thank for that.

On January 6th, 2019 the Wedding Crashers performed at our wedding at the Park Savoy Estate. They were simply amazing! I can not accurately describe the energy they brought to our event. From start to finish, the dance floor was full! There are many bands to choose from but they are the best. Period. From our first meeting with Damien, they were very professional. They identified what we wanted and tailored the performance to our event. About 100 of our guests approached me and stated that the Wedding Crashers was the best band that they had ever heard at any event! They made the night all about us and a celebration for a lifetime!

I don't even know where to begin… The Wedding Crashers were absolutely perfect. The song choices, the quality of their sound and the amount of fun they brought to the whole experience... just perfect. Leading up to the day-of Damien & crew were accessible and timely answered every question we had. My husband had an elaborate entrance planned and Damien was great at being flexible and providing his feedback. They told us before we booked with them that they pride themselves on being able to read the room and they definitely back this up. Every single text or message I've received since includes rave reviews about the music. The Wedding Crashers far exceeded our expectations and we really hope to attend another wedding with them some time in the future!

The Wedding Crashers played at our wedding reception on June 9 and it was undoubtedly the highlight of our wedding. They are INCREDIBLE! They brought an 11 piece band with a horn section, and had the dance floor full the entire night (most of the desserts went untouched because nobody wanted to leave the dance floor!). So many of our guests came up to us to say that it was the best band and the best dance floor they'd ever seen. Damien was so great to work with, and we had a lot of fun connecting with him leading up to the wedding! They also incorporated and brought to life our ideas, including a less conventional father-daughter song that was really special to me and my dad, and playing a few country-rock classics that my southern family loved! We also worked with Damien to get a DJ for our after party, who also kept people dancing for many more hours into the night! THANK YOU Damien and thank you to the Wedding Crashers giving us the best party we could have imagined!

The Wedding Crashers, even though invited, lived up to their name and had a profound impact on our big day. We met with Damien and hired The Wedding Crashers as soon as we heard them. They took all of our song requests, even our first dance, and knocked them out of the park. All of our guests were on the dance floor the whole night and are still talking about how unbelievably talented The Wedding Crashers are. Our one concern was having the band up on the balcony and not on the floor interacting with our guests. This ended up being one of the best parts of the wedding. The singers from The Wedding Crashers came down to the dance floor to sing with our guests and the whole band was interacting with our guests from the balcony. We felt like we were at a concert. They were so amazing that our guests not only asked for "one more song" once but TWICE and would have kept asking for "one more song" if we didn't already run over our time. Thank you so much to The Wedding Crashers for providing the soundtrack to the best day of our lives!

My husband and I got married this past September at The Channel Club in Monmouth Beach and we chose Sumar Entertainment/The Wedding Crashers to perform at our wedding. All we can say is WOW!!!! They put on such an incredible performance all night, it was truly amazing and far exceeded all of our expectations. We also utilized Sumar's harpist, Kristy, for the ceremony and cocktail hour and she knocked it out of the park as well. Damien, the band leader, was an absolute pleasure to work with and easily catered to any and all of our requests. He was extremely responsive and was able to work with us to really make all of the entertainment a fantastic experience. All in all, working with Sumar Entertainment/The Wedding Crashers was an absolute joy and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding reception!

Damien DJ'd our ceremony and reception this past August and did an AWESOME job. He played a great variety of music that kept our guests dancing all night. We had such a great time thanks to him. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests saying how fun and talented he was.
