Verified reviews from real couples
We were blown away by how smooth and dialed in everything was. No awkward moments, no lulls, just nonstop momentum the entire night. They knew exactly when to turn it up and when to let moments breathe, which made the whole wedding feel effortless and elevated. People are still texting us about how much fun they had. Hiring this band was one of the best decisions we made and turned our wedding into a true once in a lifetime party

These guys absolutely crushed it. From the first song to the last, the dance floor was packed and nobody wanted the night to end.
They read the room perfectly, brought unreal energy, and made our wedding feel like a full blown celebration instead of just another reception.
We’ve had so many guests ask for their name since the wedding, which says everything. If you want a band that makes your night unforgettable, this is the one

What You’ll Never Get

nd found Isaac on his own- he was so proud!! From the start everything was easy- we had a great kick off call and sent over a short list of songs and genres we liked- but overall said for them to choose and just create a vibe. Everyone commented how awesome the band with. My dad even said “most wedding bands suck and they were the best I’ve seen!” … and my dad never offers up compliments 🤣
11/10 recommend! 💖💖💖

With a guest list of 220 people- ages 4 yo to 98 yo they found the balance and energy to keep the entire party engaged on the dance floor. Truly the highlight of the evening!

Isaac and The Weekend Society are the best!
Isaac was great at following up with us when we were planning music for our wedding. He even took the time to get on a Zoom call with ...
us in order to pin down what we were looking for.
On the wedding day, they showed up prepared and ready to perform and it was amazing. I was blown away with how great they sounded. They performed a setlist that was true to the genre/style we wanted and played a number of personal requests with precision.
They were incredibly tasteful in how they performed, the tone was great, and the mix was perfect.
As a musician myself, I can say that The Weekend Society know how to do it and they truly sound great!
They will approach your wedding with professionalism and top-notch musicianship.
I cannot recommend them enough! Stop searching for wedding bands and go with them. You will not regret it!

These guys know how to make moments MAGICAL!!
I need to start by saying, I’m a very hard person to please. Then, to top it off helping my sister coordinate a number of things for ...
her wedding added extra stress to a high strung group of gals. I was referred to The Weekend Society by a colleague who had seen them perform at a friends wedding. I was skeptical that they could really be capable of living up to all the rave reviews she gave them. Man was I wrong! They knew how to read the room, guide the vibe, make the romance palpable, and got people up on their feet dancing…Grannies and all. I wanted to make this day so special for my sister and her adoring groom and it would not have been possible if it wasn’t for Isaac and band! Thank you guys so much for making this the most memorable celebration of love ever!!

No, but really - they were awesome and I'm still thinking about their awesome performance weeks later! Bride said their booking process was easy and professional - so book these musicians! As long as it's not the same weekend as my (imaginary) wedding...
