Peter and the Wood Vibrations were EPIC! From the moment we originally reached out for a quote, to the ongoing communication, and, finally, of course, the performance…they absolut...
ely exceeded expectations beyond measure in every aspect. Peter and Samantha performed during the ceremony which provided for such a beautiful touch. When the band was playing during the reception, the dance floor was packed and live. They created an energy that we could never have expected for our wedding, not to mention the variety of music they can play, catering to ALL ages in the room (this was important to us). Recommend the five-person band, as well, as this allows the band to play a much greater variety of songs with the addition of Tara.
The band also takes care of all of the small, yet important, details – setting you up with a microphone for the officiant(s) at the ceremony, setting one up for the speeches during the reception which Samantha assists each speaker with.
We continue to receive raving reviews from our guests about the band, too.
Highly recommend, will exceed expectations, and will leave you wondering why you ever even considered another band.
Thank. you. Wood Vibrations! We’ll be seeing you again…

s. When we had some late breaking schedule changes due to an unexpected event near our venue, Peter and the band rolled gracefully with the changes and were so helpful in keeping our celebration running smoothly. We got married at a restaurant and we were worried that a live band could be overpowering in the space. Peter worked with us to make sure the volume was ok for our young and elderly guests while also keeping the dance floor active with the perfect song selections.
We got so many compliments from our guests about the wood vibrations!! 10/10 would recommend.

e band exhibited the utmost professionalism, responsiveness, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Their musicianship was flawless, with an acoustic sound that provided an elegant and refined ambiance throughout every stage of the celebration—from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the evening reception. Particularly remarkable was their intuitive ability to read and respond to the energy of the room. They seamlessly adjusted their repertoire and tempo in real time, ensuring the atmosphere was impeccably tailored to each moment. This nuanced adaptability kept our guests thoroughly engaged and the dance floor vibrant well into the night.
Beyond their artistry, The Wood Vibrations were consummate professionals—attentive, accommodating, and gracious throughout the planning process.
The effusive praise we continue to receive from our guests is a testament to the band’s exceptional talent and presence. We unreservedly recommend The Wood Vibrations

The performance for the ceremony was excellent and sounded amazing. They provided the PA system for the officiant and for the speeches and it sounded great too!

If I had to do my wedding day all over again I would hire Wood Vibrations again for sure! We can't wait to see them again when they have public performances!

Our guests were raving about the duo’s talent and the amazing range of music they played. Whether it was a classic song or a modern hit, the Wood Vibrations Duo nailed it. It was the perfect touch to make our wedding feel even more special. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable, high-quality musical experience!

Their professionalism, talent, and ability to read the crowd ensured that everyone was engaged and having a great time.
Whether you need a small duo or a larger band, The Wood Vibrations will be our first call for any future events. Highly recommended!

The Wood Vibrations are absolutely phenomenal!!! If you are thinking about having a live band for your wedding/event, look no further- I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! F...
rom the minute we found them, we knew that they would perfectly fit into our vision for how we wanted our wedding day to be.
Peter was professional and wonderful to work with- he even offered to hop on multiple phone calls with us leading up to our wedding to ensure that we were on the same page with the schedule and songs for our ceremony and reception. From there, everything else was stress-free and handled by them! We had a handful of song requests that they were able to accommodate, and having them played at our wedding made it that much more meaningful and memorable for us. We opted for the large band option, and we’re so glad that we did!
Prior to the wedding, Peter had asked us if we expected many people to dance and we said that we weren’t sure. Once the dance floor opened up after dinner, it was packed until the end of the reception! We had a bonfire and s’mores outside, and many of our guests started heading back inside early to make sure they didn’t miss any of the songs once the band returned back from a quick break.
Song after song, The Wood Vibrations truly knocked it out of the park! The range of their setlist is impressive and appealed to all of our guests, who ranged from ages 5 to 75. We had multiple people (both guests and even staff from our venue) come up to us during/after our wedding to ask us how we found the band and to say that they were the best wedding band that they’ve ever heard. We even had a few guests say that they would follow them to bars/their other public shows in the future! We can’t recommend The Wood Vibrations enough, and are already looking for an excuse to throw another party so that we can book them again! Thank you all so much for making this the wedding of our dreams!

oughout the evening asking, where did we find "these guys"? There was such joy in the room because of their sound. Having superb musicians including the most amazing violinist, Samantha, made my reception so unique and so much fun! Guests were videotaping her as she blew us all away with her talents. Their vocals were right on- per specific requests which they nailed perfectly.
Early on in planning my wedding, after a great conversation with Peter, he asked us to complete a form that was very helpful in organizing our wants for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had a micro wedding of 50 people. I wanted a fun dancing party spirit. He took all the wedding jitters away of fear of no one dancing. People were dancing all night long with a nice balance of dining music as well, so my guests could talk and enjoy.
Every bride wants a beautiful sunny wedding day, especially for a garden ceremony. Well, it poured right at the time of the ceremony. Peter and the group pivoted so brilliantly dodging sheets of rain moving to a covered location on site without a hitch helping the ceremony move forward and be the best it could be. Our reception was always planned to be indoors, thank goodness, as the doors opened to the reception the music started and the party began! My guests were constantly saying what a fun and beautiful wedding it was...the clouds parted and the music continued making it the most memorable, joyous, and unbelievable day ever.

We highly recommend Peter (guitar) & Samantha (violin) as a ceremony duo and the Core 5 piece band with dedicated female vocalist (Tara) for reception and dancing. Their depth and breadth of repertoire will please all ages, even those who may normally be reluctant to dance. We danced for hours to classics and favorites form the 60’s to present. Our guests have all raved about their performance and the photographers said they have not seen this many people on a dance floor, for this long, this year! Highly recommend The Wood Vibrations. Huge thank you to the band for really making the night!

If you are looking for a band that will rev up the dancing, blow away guests, be truly professional, and accommodating to your song requests and wedding style, do yourself a favor ...
and hire these guys!!!
When I was first looking for a band, my concern was to have a band that would be appropriate for my wedding with all ages of guests, but without sacrificing my choices in wedding songs. A friend told me when I look at bands make sure to see all the reviews for bands, the good and the bad-and I did not find a single bad review of these guys! That amazed me. Then, I reviewed videos, where I saw Peter's style of guitar, the phenomenal violin playing, the duet of male and female voices, and I could not believe their talent! Even though they play mostly acoustic, they have what it takes to get people moving, and were the special gem to make my wedding an unbelievable party. They offer flair and unique points to the songs you know and love, and get everyone dancing to slow and fast songs alike.
I could go on more about how all of the guests remain enthralled with the band and ask how I found them! So, to the entire band, thank you for making my special day so much fun. :)
And, thanks for learning my wedding song requests, and putting your heart and soul into those songs that I so truly cherished.

They also played beautiful music for our ceremony entrance and exit. We can't wait to go check them out again at Prohibition in NYC. Highly recommend :)

My wife and I booked the Wood Vibrations for our wedding reception after finding them on the Knots website. Our wedding reception was held at an event space designed for a cocktail...
hour vibe with high tops, a bar and food stations. Our quest list was under 100 adults so we requested the Duo with Peter. They were fantastic! We received so many comments after the party how great the band was. We had a wide range of ages from small children to 80 year old grandparents. There was music for everyone to enjoy. We couldn’t believe the repertoire of music in their portfolio. From the classics to more recent pop, there was music for every age to enjoy. Some cover bands can seem very karaoke, but the Wood Vibrations were far from that, putting some of their own take on songs. The team was super professional and did not require any support with their set up/break down, and they brought all their own equipment. We were impressed and grateful they were able to perform on our special day.

We consider ourselves to be extremely fortunate to have had the Wood Vibrations play for our wedding last week. If you are looking for a band that can play a wide variety of music,...
and truly do it well, look no further. Not only were they easy to communicate with, but they are also extremely talented musicians. We ended up adding their service to our ceremony and could not be happier that we did. Peter played beautiful acoustic guitar music that really made the ceremony amazing. The band also learned a special song for our first dance and played it flawlessly. With their high level of skill and three part harmonies they kept the dance floor moving throughout the entire event. Our guests are still telling us how incredible the band was a week later. If you’re getting married or just want to have an event with amazing music, do yourself a favor and book these guys ASAP! Thank you Wood Vibrations!! -John & Tiffany

dding. Peter is extremely talented and was able to arrange music that I requested for the processional in no time at all. Every member of the Wood Vibrations seemed genuinely happy to take part in the wedding, and they kept the energy up throughout the entire event. Sean, the drummer, graciously and seamlessly took on the responsibility of setting up the audio and projector for our photo slideshow. At every step of the wedding planning process, it was a great pleasure to work with the Wood Vibrations.

Peter and the Woods Vibrations were the best band we could of hoped for. They were incredibly flexible as we delayed our wedding multiple times during the pandemic. We gave them wa...
y less time than we should of, but they still learned multiple songs for first dances, and tailored their set based on our requests.
The band was amazing at reading the crowd, and knew exactly what songs to play to keep the dance floor rocking all night. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough!

enties to seventies dancing. Peter and his band are very professional and were extremely flexible for fitting the theme of my special day. They even helped set up PA for the ceremony and speeches. I can’t recommend them enough, and it meant the world to me that Sean let me fiddle on his drum kit for a bit!

ultiple guests come up and tell us that. It was also evident by the large number of people constantly dancing and singing along throughout the wedding. They also performed our request for a wedding song that wasn't in their normal repertoire and did an amazing job.
Overall, we can highly recommend The Wood Vibrations for any wedding or event.

We hired this band for our wedding and they were incredible.
Many aspects of the wedding, including this band, were arranged without seeing them in person due to the pandemic. W...
e spent months listening to their demo and we were so excited to have them. After seeing the wedding venue for the first time we were a little nervous about the layout of the room because the dance floor was small. Both of us agreed that we had to make it work because we were not replacing them for a DJ. It was the right decision and it worked out better than I thought. No one could stay off the dance floor with music like that. We chose a country song for our first dance and the band learned it in a couple of weeks. It was so special and I couldn't believe how good they made the song sound. Our guests raved about the music and it really was such an essential component of the reception. Peter was also so lovely to work with in the weeks leading up to the wedding. He's very easy going and flexible which put me at ease. I can't wait to see them again at their next live event.

s and enjoy themselves as well and they were all up and dancing and having a great time. It felt great to get so many compliments about their playing. Peter and his team worked with us to create the right atmosphere and songs for our occasion. By the way, the Wood Vibration hauled their themselves 2 states to get to our affair.
They publish a playlist which includes music for all the decades and genres and will help you pick and choose songs for your guests, including your favorites and those suitable for all ages. They developed a personal rendition of our favorite song and we ended up using it for our processional and as well, will accommodate any specialty songs you wish to have. They will dress up or dress casual, to your liking. I was pleased how Peter and Sean went through the wedding timeline with us from beginning to end beforehand and gave us the confidence needed that they- Got This! My bride and I always look for them when they are playing near to our area and enjoy dropping in to see them. A sign of a great band is how well they mesh…and they do! They are professional and dedicated to their craft and just nice guys. We would definitely hire them again. In fact, we did!
