About this vendor
Time Pilots play the songs that make people want to dance --a little bit of everything from the 50's to today, but what we do best are the classic dance songs from the 1960's to the early 2000's (Sinatra, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Springsteen, Billy Joel, Journey, Tom Petty, Blink 182, Third Eye Blind, Justin Timberlake, and more of everyone's favorites). We have saxophone, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums - and 3 of us are lead vocalists.

We couldn't have imagined our day with anyone else! Time Pilots is fantastic!! From the very beginning, Jon was communicative, kind, and it was clear that he wants to help each couple's vision of their day come to fruition. We felt supported throughout the process and knew if we had any questions we could reach out. On our wedding day they went all out-we have had people asking us for months who our band was and complimenting their performance.
We would highly recommend booking Time Pilots!
The Time Pilots were totally and completely INCREDIBLE at our wedding in October! They brought such amazing music, sound, positivity, and joy to our wedding! They really MADE the wedding! We still cannot get over how exceptional they were! And we’re not the only ones, our families and guests keep telling us how insanely amazing the band was. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night, and that was thanks to the Time Pilots and their amazing talent.
Jon was such a pleasure to work with. We really cannot thank him enough or think of a better person help with our wedding. We had to make some last minute changes during the wedding due to rain, but Jon was so flexible and made it work seamlessly. He even took us out to dinner a few months before the wedding to go over all of the finer details. Any time we had a question, he answered it promptly.
The Time Pilots really read the crowd and played the perfect arrangement! Song after song was ideal and kept the party going! They really are the best wedding band EVER. We really cannot recommend them enough!!!
Hire Time Pilots for your wedding, I promise they will be one of the best part of your day. We hired them for our wedding this past summer, and they made our wedding what it was; fun, lively, and rocking! Our family and friends all asked us for their set lists, and they were the talk of breakfast the next morning. We wanted a dancing wedding, where no one wanted to get off the dance floor, and Time Pilots delivered! They learned songs for us, got in the middle of the dance floor to get the crowd going, and they were incredibly kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process. I could write paragraphs on how thankful we are that we hired Time Pilots for our wedding, but instead I think I will just become a groupie! I can't wait to continue seeing Time Pilots play around Portland, and I couldn't recommend them enough for your wedding.
Time Pilots were a great addition to our special day! Time Pilots played a variety of music to keep all of our guests on the dance floor all night! We received many compliments about the way the band members interacted with the guests and kept the energy going! We highly recommend Time Pilots for any occasion!
Stop looking around and book Time Pilots! Jon was a pleasure to work with throughout the process— always responsive and tremendously accommodating. The band loves what they do and their energy is infectious. We had what I would characterize as a reserved crowd for our wedding but Time Pilots had everyone on the dance floor all night! They truly made our wedding night what it was with the energy and enthusiasm they brought to the party.
Time Pilots made our wedding an unforgettable night! They played music during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Jon did a great job MCing and the band was super flexible (our dinner ran a bit long so once the band started, they played nonstop until the end of the night.) They even invited my Maid of Honor and I to sing a few songs with them. You can't go wrong with this band!
Where do I even begin? The Time Pilots are absolutely AMAZING!!! They made our wedding entertaining, special, and memorable. From the beginning, Jon and Chris were friendly, timely, and accommodating in their communication. My husband and I met with them a couple different times via phone call to discuss specific details of our wedding. In between, they were incredibly responsive via email when answering questions that came up along the way. Jon and Chris made my husband and I feel special throughout the planning/preparation process.
As for the wedding day, things could not have gone better! This is a group of very talented musicians. The Time Pilots played smooth, relaxing jazz during our cocktail hour and during dinner, which made the space feel elegant and peaceful. Throughout dinner, they checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were happy with the volume of the music and that we were happy with everything.
Once it was time for the dance portion, that’s when our wedding came to life!! The Time Pilots are talented when it comes to reading the room. Our guests STILL talk about how amazing the music was at our wedding! The Time Pilots included song recommendations and a wonderful mix of songs. The dance floor was never empty and the night was so lively!
We are very thankful to the Time Pilots for making our wedding an absolute dream! We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a phenomenal wedding band!
The Time Pilots are amazing! We were incredibly pleased with their performance on our big day, but they were also fantastic to work with throughout the planning process. They learned multiple songs for us and truly accommodated every request we had. They are professional, reliable, and extremely talented musicians. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band!
My wife and I hired the Time Pilots for our wedding just a couple weeks ago. We are SO happy we did! They are a ton of fun and really know how to get the crowd involved/dancing! Jon Goodman and his crew were fantastic to work with and super accommodating. We had a handful of last minute changes that we sprung on them the day before the wedding and they were still able to accommodate.
Music is one of the most important pieces of a wedding. Don't be like the last 5 weddings you went to and higher the "same old same old" DJ. Reach out to the Time Pilots! You will have one of the most memorable nights of your life!
We had Time Pilots play at our wedding and could not be happier! Jon was amazing from the very beginning when we decided to book them. He regularly checked in with us and was willing/able to accommodate to our needs. They were able to play live music for our cocktail hour, dinner and reception which were all in different locations throughout the night. We didn't want/need live music for the ceremony, so Jon was able to set up a sound system and play pre-recorded music for that as well and had microphones for our officiant. Everything from the ceremony to the end of the night went smooth and they worked well with the other event staff/vendors/etc to keep things as easy as possible on our end. As for the live music itself, WOW! They were able to read the crowd and keep everyone entertained the entire night, nobody wanted to go home! Our guests are still talking about what an amazing job the band did and certainly was a highlight of our wedding. Absolutely will be recommending them to anyone that asks, if we could give more than 5 stars we would. Thank you Time Pilots for everything!
My wife and I had the Time Pilots play at our wedding; from the start they were great to work with: very communicative, answered our many questions, and were open to all of our ideas. They played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. They did a wonderful job of reading the crowd and matching the feel the entire night. All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say about the band. So glad we decided to hire the Time Pilots!
We hired the Time Pilots for our wedding and THEY ROCKED THE HOUSE! We had their guitarist do the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then the entire band played for the reception. They are incredibly talented. Jon was super easy to communicate with and catered their setlist to our musical tastes and performed quite a few of our requested songs. Additionally, they took so much care in preparing our first dance song. Can't recommend these guys enough!
We hired the Time Pilots to perform at our wedding reception, and they were excellent! Due to the pandemic, we had to reschedule the reception, and they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They were easy to work with around music selections, we chose a few songs but mostly left it up to them, and they played a great mix of songs that everyone knows and enjoys dancing to. They brought tremendous energy to the evening; I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to hire a band!
TimePilots were absolutely fantastic! I am so happy we had them play at our wedding I cannot recommend them enough. We only decided in July 2020 to have our wedding in September 2020 and Jon was so helpful in planning during COVID and in such a short time frame. From the first contact through our wedding day in September Jon was so responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning was an extra challenge this year, Jon worked with us to make it just as special, and we had them handle ceremony music, they played live music at our cocktail hour, and ROCKED our reception! We and our guests had SO MUCH FUN! They sounded amazing knew exactly what songs to play to keep the energy up. Even the servers were dancing, it was awesome. Everything went smoothly and I was so confident in their expertise that I did not worry about it once on our wedding day. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you for making our wedding a blast!
Jon and the Time Pilots were communicative, flexible, and reassuring through the whole planning process, which was extra complicated due to the pandemic. Jon met with us a couple of times and invited us to their rehearsal. They helped with the organization of the evening, and they even learned a new song and rehearsed it to perform with the Maid of Honor. That made the event so special for us, of course.
The guests enjoyed a GREAT night of music and dancing, and it all appeared so seamless.
Time Pilots will not disappoint, I promise!
The Time Pilots were amazing. Months later we still have people telling us how much they loved the band at our wedding. Jon was responsive, reassuring, and extremely helpful. He worked with us beforehand to personalize the set list, and make sure everything went smoothly with the reception schedule. They even learned a song for us! All the musicians were very talented, and the set list was perfect. They kept the dance floor going all night! We'd absolutely recommend the Time Pilots.
The Time Pilots are a fun, professional wedding band. They went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the best day. Jon, who handles most of their bookings, is professional and very prompt with his responses. We met a few weeks prior to our wedding to develop a playlist and our first dance song (which they learned for our big day). I would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married in southern Maine!
We are so happy to be writing this review for the Time Pilots who recently played at our September wedding in Sugarloaf! We recommend them, without hesitation, to anyone who wants their wedding to be a great time for everyone! The time pilots have excellent communication leading up to the big day, they have incredible knowledge to share about how to run the reception, they really take charge of the night so you can relax, and they rock the house!
We originally called them in 2017 and Jon was super comfortable to talk to from the start. He seemed like a really outgoing fun guy, and their reviews were amazing. They had the exact type of music we were looking for to really engage every type of person at our wedding. We excitedly booked them! In the Spring of 2018 we ended up postponing our wedding due to a job change for my now husband. I was pretty worried about how the process of postponing would go with some of our vendors since we already had a decent chunk of money down. Jon was by far the most kind and understanding, and he said he'd work hard to re-book our date so that we could use our deposit for another date the next year. Within a few months, Jon emailed that he booked our old date, and that they would play for us on our new wedding date whenever we choose that with no extra fee. He seriously could not have been better about the whole situation.
In the Winter of 2018 we decided on our new date, 9/7/19, and our new location of Sugarloaf (we were previously going to do it on Mount Desert Island where we used to live). Jon hopped right back to where we left off and we chatted every now and then to continue the planning process. Jon always knew exactly what questions to ask, and he even gave us great insight on the timing of our event since one of his many talents is running the reception schedule with ease! The band was all set up and playing cocktail music before our guests arrived at the reception, and once the bridal party arrived, Jon met us outside to get us lined up for the entrance. It was so nice not to have to tell all our friends or family what to do or when to do it. Jon handled it all and we just got to enjoy the process of our night. The entrance was understated, which was just what we asked for. As the night went on, the Time Pilots facilitated many different transitions (first dance, moving everyone to the tent for dinner, having recorded music playing in a tent for dinner, announcing the toasts and handing the mic to the various people, inviting everyone back into the lodge for cake and music, gathering everyone for our cake cutting, announcing the parent dances, and more!). Even though we had agreed on a schedule of the night months before, Jon was very flexible when I on the spot decided to delay parent dances for an hour (we were a little tired of being the center of attention and just wanted a break to let loose!). He gladly started playing the fun music and everyone was dancing and having a great time!
Once all the formalities were over, the party really began. The Time Pilots played all the songs we loved from their song list! They even let my mom and brother karaoke for many songs which was hilarious! They were interactive, always smiling, and once they got the feel for the crowd - they knew exactly what to play to get everyone on their feet! I danced the entire night of our wedding!
Thank you Time Pilots! We were thrilled to have you as a part of our big day!
The Time Pilots were an amazing addition to our wedding day!! They were great with communication, meeting with us to discuss what we wanted and what we liked, helping us build a day of schedule that flowed. I would highly recommend them for any type of event, especially a wedding! All of our guests danced the whole night and could not stop talking about how great the band was. They even went above and beyond to learn a special song to me and my family (build me up buttercup). They are the best!!
The Time Pilots played and MC’d our wedding reception. They were incredible! Jon is so wonderful and really helps you feel at ease weeks out from the wedding. The band is so fun! We were dancing the night away! Our guests were raving about them!
From reading these reviews only, I contacted Jon and booked our wedding day. The Time Pilots made our wedding day. From the moment I first reached out to Jon, he was very quick to respond via email. Up to and during the wedding Jon was organized, accommodating, and his attention to detail is on point. Our wedding ended up being held on the hottest day of the year.... As hot as it was in the barn, the Time Pilots never skipped a beat. Jon even went out of his way to work with a family member to practice with the band to perform not only the brides father daughter dance, but a surprised us all with more than just one song. I would not hesitate for any function I have in the future to give Jon a call and book him.
Okay so the Time Pilots are officially my favorite band for a great party. Jon is professional, kind, supportive and enthusiastic. He helped me plan and make the night uniquely ours. They even surprised us with extra fun related to our wedding theme!! The are fantastic musicians. If you love a great saxophonist, make sure you request Darren. He plays flute and multiple saxophones and is hands down the most amazing soloist I’ve ever seen. These guys make my heart happy and get (and keep) everyone dancing. Can’t say enough about them. Five stars and I’d hire them more than once (in fact I have!) :) Do yourself a favor and hire the Time Pilots. Then put a big check mark next to that music to-do. You won’t regret it.
The Time Pilots had everything we were looking for in a band and they made our wedding day so memorable. Jon is fantastic to work with. He responded to our e-mails and phone calls almost immediately, was so flexible with our playlist (they can play just about any music you want), and were so professional. We forgot to let them know about a group dance we had planned and threw the idea out to them at the reception! Of course they were so flexible and accommodating and they made it work! Their sound is quality, fun, exciting and they got the crowd on the dance floor on the very first song! Jon also helped set up our timeline. His experience and collaboration with our other vendors made the night flow smoothly. We love the Time Pilots!
The Time Pilots were AMAZING! They kept the entire crowd dancing all night and people were so sad to see them leave!! Jon was so helpful and communicative. He knew exactly what we were looking for without really even having to ask. Its been almost a month since our wedding and people keep asking about who the "awesome band" was! So happy we hired them and would absolutely hire them again!
Time Pilots was the best decision Bill
And I made for our wedding reception. From the beginning Jon was so accommodating, organized and just as excited for our big day as we were. He made the process so easy and was the most dependable vendor we worked with. Our family loves to dance, it’s really the only reason they like to go to weddings so having a fun band was crucial to everyone having a good time. They worked with us on exactly what songs we wanted or didn’t want and fit in our family musicians as well. As soon as they started playing our dance floor was full and it stayed that way the entire night. They were more than I had imagined and that feeling was justified when everyone kept asking me who the band was and how awesome they were. Time Pilots truly made our reception exactly what we wanted it to be an amazingly FUN dance party. We both thank you so much!!!
Definitely don't hesitate to book the Time Pilots. Jon was always incredibly responsive via email, kind, professional, and flexible. This the band you want at your party if you want excellent communication, smooth transitions during your event, and people up and dancing all night long!! My husband and I looked at each other and high-fived each other halfway through our wedding reception we were so thrilled and never wanted the party to end! We wish we could do it over again. Huge thank you to the Time Pilots!!!
Jon and the rest of the Time Pilots were amazing to work with. Jon was quick with communication and always willing to go the extra mile. The band was willing to learn songs that my husband and I were wanting to hear at the reception (We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel is no easy task). They kept the party going all night. The dance floor was never empty which is a true testament to how amazing the Time Pilots are. Thank you all so much for making our wedding reception so memorable!
Jon & his team were amazing to work with. True wedding professionals who love to have a good time. They are flexible, responsive, & ROCK! We had the best time at our recent wedding in a family owned barn property on Lookout Point in Harpswell, Maine. The Time Pilots learned a very difficult song for our first dance and knocked it out of the park. 10/10 performance from playing the cocktail hour to the dinner to the big throw down in the barn. Our wedding was 150-175 people and these guys couldn't have done a better job from all angles. They travel light, blast the volume (if you want it) and even let a few people jump on stage and perform with them. Too fun. Made our day extremely special.
The Time Pilots were amazing! Jon was so easy to work with and really listened to our vision for our wedding reception. We simply told him to " keep them dancing", and that's exactly what the band did! The music for cocktail hour and dinner were perfect and once the dancing started it never stopped! Our guests couldn't say enough about the band and how much they added to our celebration. We highly recommend the Time Pilots!
Give your spouse-to-be a high five if you have already booked this band, because you have just made the best vendor decision of your wedding! The Time Pilots were a BIG hit at our reception! Our guests are still raving about how much fun the Time Pilots were – many said specifically that it was the best band they had ever seen perform at a wedding. This group is talented, so you will be thrilled with the quality of their music. They have a broad repertoire and will work with you to find out what you like and what you don’t like. They also met our #1 criterion, which was to get the whole spectrum of guests – ages 8 to 60s – up and dancing, and the dance floor was packed all night. Jon - the band director - was a pleasure to work with and alleviated any stress we could have possibly felt from the minutiae of setting up sound equipment to the big task of bringing the party. We felt confident in him from day one – he kept us organized, and even emceed our entire ceremony, reception, and the rest of the party. We are grateful to the Time Pilots for creating such a perfect memory for us. Seriously, BOOK THEM NOW, you will not regret it.
Our experience with the Time Pilots, from beginning to end, was absolutely fantastic. I feel like I've been talking about them non-stop since our wedding ended -- and our guests have been, too.
The level of professionalism that Jon and the group exhibited was second-to-none. From contract to coordination and every step in between, communication was timely, considerate, and effective. They treated us extremely well and in the midst wedding planning craziness, I can't state how important that was.
The night of our wedding was more of the same. My wife felt truly special by how Jon and the group treated her and I did, too. It was smooth sailing from ceremony until the end of the reception.
The Time Pilots are a band, of course, so I'd be remiss if I did not talk about their music. It's easy -- they killed it. The set list was a wonderful balance between classic rock and pop songs and there was something for everyone at the wedding. Their energy throughout the show was also huge, and in particular, they absolutely crushed the end of the night. In one of the best memories of my life (and I do not say that lightly) our entire reception was singing at the top of their lungs as the Time Pilots shut the place down. It was truly special. Goosebumps-type stuff.
I'd like to give a special shout out to the saxophonist, who was playing his brass like a man possessed. If I could have him tail me and play the soundtrack to my life, I would.
If you're even considering the Time Pilots, do yourself a favor - stop considering. Do it. Book them. I have no question in my mind that they'll help you create a night just like they did for me, and there is no question that you and your guests will love it and remember it forever.
Where do we start!!! Time Pilots absolutely blew us away from day one all the way to the wedding. Jon from the first time we spoke immediately put us at ease and started providing us with suggestions, information and a million other things we never knew we would have to think about.
They provided us sound bites for practicing our first dance, they responded to phone calls and emails very timely, and overall customer service was beyond 5 star.
They brought so much energy and a great music selection to our wedding, our friends and families are still raving about the music and how much fun they had because of the band.
Overall the band went above and beyond, we take great pleasure in suggesting them for any event or wedding!!
Where do I even begin on these guys? From the first time we saw them play, we KNEW this was the perfect band for our wedding. Selecting a band was important to us- my husband is a musician himself, and I'd always dreamed of a wedding where all the guests would be on their feet. Time Pilots MORE than satisfied both of us. The musicianship was excellent (the saxophone player stunned everyone in the room) and to say everyone was on their feet was an understatement. Their energy was electric, and even the most curmudgeonly guests couldn't resist busting a move. The band played songs across genres and decades, keeping everyone on the dance floor all day. Plus, they pulled my husband onstage with them to sing the last song, which ended the reception on the highest note!
I could write an entire book about working with Jon, but I suppose that would be a pretty long book. In short, I wish Jon could have planned my entire wedding. He was organized, kind, and lovely through each step of the process. The band has a lot of responsibility to keep the reception moving, and I trusted Jon fully to keep everything on track. I didn't even stress for a second during the day- I knew Jon had it under control.
I cannot say enough good things about the Time Pilots. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and the best party we'll ever have. A big part of this success was Jon and the whole band. You'll love their music, your guests will love their music, and most importantly, you'll love working with them. If I could give them six stars, I would in a heartbeat.
The Time Pilots played our wedding last weekend (Labor Day 2016) and were amazing! Jon is so easy to work with and answered all our emails promptly. Upon our first meeting with Jon, he helped us plan out a timeline for the reception which was very helpful. He made us feel very comfortable and even more excited for our wedding day. I was not the most organized bride, I even made some last minute changes the day of the wedding and Jon just rolled with it. The band was very gracious to allow my father to play a pre-recorded song he wrote specifically for our wedding. They even invited him up to sing a few songs. All our guests were dancing, young and old. They have such a good selection of music and learned our first dance song by Bruce Springsteen. We had so many compliments towards the band. There are many reasons why I want to relive my wedding day, and one of them is to hear the band play again :) I would recommend the Time Pilots for any event, they are outstanding!
If you're looking for a wedding band look no further! The Time Pilots played our wedding at Sebasco Harbo on 08/27/16 and were the life of the party. Their music selection was perfect, they had our guests ranging in age from 2 to 90 years old dancing all night. They allowed our guests on stage and even had guests playing their instruments and singing songs! The band was always going the extra mile for us, learning new songs and taking less breaks than agreed upon to keep the party going. They also played our ceremony music and did a wonderful job. Working with Jon was a phenomenal, he always replied quickly and removed any potential stressors we had. All of our guests loved the band and we continue to hear compliments about them daily, especially their killer Hora. The Time Pilots are true professionals and are extremely customer oriented; if you want to have an amazing dance party at your wedding hire the Time Pilots, you will not regret it!
The Time Pilots were incredible from start to finish- from the planning stages to the big day- they were on point! They are extremely accommodating, professional, and will do a wonderful job entertaining your guests at your wedding! They keep the energy high and fun the whole time, they are interactive with your guests and engaging, and they are simply incredibly talented. The Time Pilots play music that everyone invited to your wedding will love! They were super responsive communicating with us during the planning phases were we worked with them on picking first dance songs, and songs for special things like introductions. They helped us come up with an organized plan and schedule for our music and things that were happening at the reception to ensure things would move along smoothly. Jon even provided us with music options for our first dance and parent dances when I was having a hard time choosing one! They are even willing to learn a song or two for your wedding if there is one that they don't already know! Everything went super smoothly and the Time Pilots played a big role in that! We highly recommend the Time Pilots!!
The Time Pilots are fantastic! They played at our July 2016 wedding reception at Ocean Gateway in Portland, Maine. Three reasons why we loved them:
#1: So easy to work with –– Jon goes out of his way to make the planning process a snap. We felt immediately comfortable from the first time we met him. He is transparent. He keeps you up-to-date. He wants you to relax and enjoy your special day.
#2: They go above and beyond –– We loved that The Time Pilots have a sax, but unfortunately their lead saxophonist was unavailable during our date. Not a problem. Jon and his crew found a rockstar replacement and the horns sounded tremendous.
#3: They got people dancing, and I mean everyone –– In advance of our wedding, The Time Pilots asked us for a couple of songs we might want them to learn. We requested 'Born to Run' and 'You Can Call Me Al'. Needless to say these two songs were beautifully done. Friends and family flocked to the dance floor.
Book The Time Pilots. Do it. Right now! You will not be disappointed.
Love,
Owen + Kellie
The best decision we made was having the Time Pilots play at our wedding. They were incredible! I would give them an A+++. Their performance was exciting and energetic. The dance floor was packed the whole night. My husband and I also loved how flexible the band was. They were willing to learn new songs, change the timeline multiple times, and work around us on the big day. They are so professional and an absolute joy to work with. Throughout the entire process we felt calm and assured we had made a great decision. I would highly recommend the Time Pilots to anyone. If I ever need a band again, I would hire them! They made our special day so memorable. Thank you Jon & The Time Pilots!!!!
If you're considering booking the Time Pilots for your wedding, I would seriously stop everything and book them right now. Jon was so responsive, usually responding to emails or calls within a day. Their rates were competitive. They were accommodating to learning several new songs just for our big day (more than we even expected), and even changing some things on the fly on our wedding day without any hesitation or issue. But most of all, they absolutely rocked the entire night. We had friends and families of all ages out on the dance floor from start to finish, and our guests are still talking about how awesome the band was. Honestly, we knew from the day we got engaged that we wanted a live band, and these guys are the definition of what a wedding band should be. I would give my highest recommendation to the Time Pilots. Seriously, we couldn't be happier with our choice. Thanks again!
PS. The saxophone player is legendary!
Jon and the band were so much fun to work with- they were easy to contact and entirely reliable. Our guests had so much fun dancing and enjoying the music, as did we! Definitely would recommend if you enjoy 80's covers.
The Time Pilots were incredible. From the moment they started playing until they packed up, the dance floor was alive. They played the perfect mix of music for all ages and knew how to keep the party moving. We received countless compliments from our guests about how great the band was and how much fun they had at our wedding. Jon was a pleasure to work with and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a top notch band, at a very reasonable price, for their special event.
The Time Pilots were undoubtedly one of the big highlights of our wedding reception. From the moment we met with Jon, he made the planning process easy and kept in touch every step of the way. The band did an outstanding job keeping our guests entertained, on the dance floor and wanting more. We can't thank Jon and the band enough for making our day one we'll never soon forget.
We absolutely loved the Time Pilots at our wedding in York, ME. They were so easy to work with - very responsive to emails leading up to the wedding. I procrastinated a bit on selecting our first dance, father-daughter and mother-son dance. John was able to accommodate under short notice. He was able to tailor our play list for specific songs we requested.
Not only were the Time Pilots easy to work with, they sounded great at the wedding! The singers and instrumentalists all sounded amazing, our guests were dancing all night long! We couldn't have asked for a better band, especially at their price point. They are definitely worth every penny!
Time Pilots played at our wedding on October 17, 2015 up in Caratunk, ME and they did an amazing job!!! I would highly recommend them. All of our guests loved them and we keep getting compliments on how awesome they were. From the very beginning, we worked with Jon and he was so easy and nice to work with. Very easy to get a hold of, very responsive, and answered all of my questions. If I wanted something, I loved that he would offer his advice from his experience but would also do whatever I wanted. He really helped guide me on what has worked best through his experience and in the end it all worked out perfectly. They did a great job MC'ing the wedding and did well staying on time to keep things moving. I honestly don't even remember them taking breaks during the reception. I think they may have taken two all night and they were for maybe 10 minutes. None of our guests even noticed they went on a break because they were that good! The dance floor was packed all night long. They really are such an amazing band and really set the tone for our reception! It was amazing and I wouldn't have wanted any other band! GET TIME PILOTS AS YOUR BAND! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! THEY ROCK!
Jon and his band were incredible!! From the first communication with Jon I knew they would be better than I could imagine. They were so concerned with making the night perfect and even learned more than a couple songs just for my family (Hey Jude was a huge hit!) They knocked it OUT. OF. THE. HOUSE. We could have danced all night, I will never forget their amazing AMAZING style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
We are so lucky that we found the Time Pilots! Jon is absolutely fabulous to work with. He is so professional, but at the same time felt like a friend we had known for years. When we met before the wedding he was genuine and really wanted to know us as a couple. We didn't have a wedding planner and they helped us create a timeline to follow. Talk about customer service- the Time Pilots let my uncle borrow a guitar to play at the ceremony for us. It doesn't stop there, Jon came early to set up the guitar and amp. The band learned 2 songs for us including our first dance and the father daughter dance, which they performed flawlessly. During the reception they read the crowd and didn't just simply play a set list-really personalized the experience. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night and they got EVERYONE up and partying. I can't say enough good words about them! Stop looking at other bands and just book the Time Pilots-you won't regret it!
From the moment we first contacted them, the Time Pilots were terrific. We had done a good deal of research into bands but knew we found the right one when communicating with Jon from the Time Pilots. His easygoing nature and genuine excitement to take part in our wedding made it an easy choice. He remained in close touch with us throughout the year leading up to our wedding and was always available to answer questions or take care of any needs we may have had. We met with him a few months before our wedding, and we could not have been nicer. He got to know us as a couple, asked questions about our preferences for the wedding, and described the wide variety of songs they are capable of performing. Jon and the Time Pilots even learned to play our first dance song, which was not previously in their repertoire. The Time Pilots are well-connected within the wedding circuit in southern Maine and had a preexisting relationship with our wedding coordinator, which made planning go all the more smoothly. On the big day, the Time Pilots did not disappoint. They handled everything perfectly and our guests raved about them all night (and afterwards!) We would HIGHLY recommend the Time Pilots to anyone looking for a great wedding band that is easy to work with and puts on a great performance that will keep guests on their feet all night long.
From the outset of our wedding planning, we knew that we didn’t want a “typical” wedding, so inevitably a band became a must have. We also didn’t want our wedding to be overly formal, but we wanted it to be classy, and we needed a band that could play a wide range of music AND sound great performing it all. We searched all over the New England area for options, and then we found The Time Pilots.
From the beginning, Jon was great to work with. We were hesitant to book a band having only read reviews and watched a few YouTube clips, so Jon made arrangements for us to stop in during one of their private engagements to have a listen and see for ourselves what the Time Pilots were all about.
The band was great when we first heard them – and they were even better on our wedding night with the addition of the two new female vocalists. The Time Pilots played a wide range of music and provided a great party atmosphere. They had our guests dancing all night, and the entire wedding party joined them in singing some Journey on stage late in the evening.
The Time Pilots did not disappoint, and I could not imagine working with a better group for our special day. Thank you Jon!
Jon and the Time Pilots were beyond awesome. I couldn't have felt more comfortable and I felt like Jon really got to know us. Everyone was dancing and so many people kept commenting "who are they, they are awesome"
The Time Pilots, led by Jon Goodman, MADE the reception. From the first meeting, Jon took the time to listen and contribute to what I was looking for. They were organized, attentive, accommodating and took away the stress. Then their performance was outstanding. EVERYONE danced— even the grandmothers. We later received rave reviews from our guests. They are not only talented, they know how to build the energy, create the excitement, get the dance floor rocking, and orchestrate the evening. WOW. I couldn't imagine a better experience.
We loved the Time Pilots and would definitely recommend them to any couple that wants a fun wedding. They were extremely professional and were available during the whole wedding planning process for any questions. Our guests cannot stop talking about "how amazing the band was" and how much fun they had. If you want people dancing at your wedding, then book the TIME PILOTS!! They were so good we even had them stay an extra hour.
This review can’t even start to give justice to how good the Time Pilots were for us. To start, Jon was incredibly timely, organized, and professional. He actually may have unknowingly been our wedding planner, as he created a detailed timeline of events for our wedding early in the planning process which we carried through until the event. There were a few changes in the band after we signed them on, but The Time Pilots quickly notified us and were honest about it, which we appreciated. Not only that, the changes in the band clearly escalated them to an even higher level. On our wedding day the band arrived early and set up music for our cocktail hour, as well as organized and announced our wedding party, which was not an additional charge. When it came time to dancing, they absolutely knew how to get the crowd into it. There are actually a few musicians in our family, and The Time Pilots allowed a few of them to play and sing! The Time Pilots now have several talented singers, as well as a deep sound with keyboard, drums, saxophone, and several guitarists. We were literally dancing, fist pumping, shouting, etc. through the entire night. I highly recommend Time Pilots, especially to anyone who wants to dance their pants off on their wedding night! Just one recommendation: It’s ok to request a few songs, but let band do their thing and you will not be disappointed!
Thanks again Time Pilots, we will continue to follow you and get to as many events as we can!

The Time Pilots were awesome! We had such a great time dancing at our wedding thanks to their energy and amazing music. Jon was incredibly responsive to all of our emails and our special requests for classic rock music. They also mixed in some 80s and wedding classics that kept our dance floor rocking. We would recommend them for any dancing event. Thank you so much Time Pilots!
Can't say enough good things about the Time Pilots. On what can be a stressful day, they were the completely stress-free. Very attentive - listened to what we wanted and executed perfectly. They played extremely well, fun music that kept everyone dancing. Probably the part of the wedding we were complemented on the most. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend them!
The Time Pilots were a hit! Not only did they play great songs and kept everyone on the dance floor, but they also provided a great service in regards to responsiveness and wanting to make our expreience enjoyable.
We would recommend The Time Pilots to anyone!
The Time Pilots were a fun and energetic band and were great to work with. They were very responsive to questions ahead of time and were a big hit with our guests. We highly recommend them!
Dealing with Jon and every member of the band "Time Pilots" was an absolute dream. Their professionalism and work ethic was top notch and we couldn't ask for any more. From the first meeting with them, to numerous emails, to the last minute phone calls they were always there to answer questions. They acted in sort also as a wedding planner, planning out every minute of the night. They never left our calls or emails unanswered, and always very quick with clear responses. The music was perfect for the night also. They set up speakers and a music mix for cocktail hour, did a perfect live version introduction of the wedding party, and even went as far as learning the song we wanted to walk into so they could play it for us live. The music for the night was also just what we wanted. They played a very wide range to 80's/ party/ dance/ and top 40's music. All songs you could sing along to and got everyone dancing and having a great time. My entire family and all the guests really enjoyed them. I cannot recommend the "Time Pilots" highly enough. A perfect 5 of 5.
I would hire The Time Pilots again in a heartbeat!!!! They were my favorite vendor to communicate with; Jon is so professional, personable, detail-oriented, quick to respond, and easy to work with. It is obvious these guys enjoy what they do. They sound great, are high energy, and their songs are crowd-pleasers. Not only did we have them play at the wedding, but my husband and I will continue to go to their concerts! I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a fun band at their wedding.
I cannot say enough about the Time Pilots… they were absolutely AMAZING! When my now husband and I first got engaged, we came up with a list of priorities for our wedding, and a live band was #1 on the list. We could not have dreamed of a better band! Working with them was a piece of cake; they are all the sweetest guys and amazingly talented to boot. My husband and I chose “Marry Me” as our first dance song since we had played it in our contest entry video and it was very special to us. Since the song was not part of their repertoire and we chose it just one week before the wedding, Nick and I were initially planning on just playing the Train CD; however, Jon said the band could learn the song and they did a PHENOMENAL job singing it for our first dance. They seriously sounded better than the original artist! Having a live song for the dance made it that much more special; my husband even started to tear up when they first started singing!
The Time Pilots played a variety of music which catered to our guests of every age. Our family and friends, both younger and older, were out on the dance floor all night long! In fact, my husband and I were trying to go around greeting people at each table after dinner, there were hardly any people sitting! The Time Pilots were the MOST loved aspect of our wedding reception by far; our family and friends were raving about them all night and we are still hearing tons of compliments! I would highly recommend this band to any couple looking to show their guests a great time at their wedding reception!
from the 1st note these guys played, everyone (& i mean EVERYONE!) of our 150 wedding guests were out of the seats & dancing like wild things. i even changed into my late night dress early to sing, dance, and jump around on and off stage with these guys. i so appreciated the energy but also professionalism from moment #1. they let some of my friends sing with them & even played a second late night set for us! so many guests said later that our band was one of the best parts of the wedding & the best wedding band EVER! we are SO, SO happy we hired them & cant wait to find an excuse to go & see them play again! please feel free to contact me anytime as i would be happy to speak glowingly of these guys. thanks Time Pilots! :)
My husband and I met dancing to 80s music, so when we began to plan our wedding one decision was clear - 80s band was a must have! We love to dance, our families love to dance, and our friends really love to dance, so we wanted a band that would keep the floor packed from start to finish. When we saw The Time Pilots for the first time we were sold. And on our wedding night, they exceeded our expectations! They sounded fantastic and brought so much positive energy into the space -- they kept people on their feet the entire evening. And the best part -- they are not only awesome performers, but they are also wonderful people who were a pleasure to work with in the planning and prep stages. We were totally impressed with the level of detail and care they took with us in thinking about the night. We felt lucky to have them on our team.
The time pilots were fantastic. My biggest priority for our wedding was to have a 'super fun dance band' and they delivered. The music was great and everyone danced all night long. Jon, the contact person was personable, professional, accomodating and gave us good advice as well. I highly recommend them.
I can't say enough good things about the Time Pilots. I want to be a co-pilot! We never had to worry about the music and it was so relaxing to cross one major thing off our list. The music was excellent and pre-wedding communication was effortless and thourough. I knew I could trust the band to be professional, fun and keep everyone out of their seat. Jon thought of things we didn't, the reception was well organized, and everyone had so much fun. The Time Pilots are a no brainer. I give them my highest recommendation - way better than any other DJ or band I've heard at other weddings. If you want your guests to have a good time and stay on the dance floor hire the Time Pilots.
We spent a lot of time looking for a wedding band, and were fortunate enough to take advantage of a cancelation that the band had, and we couldn't have gotten any luckier! Our guests LOVED the band they kept people dancing all night with a terrific assortment of music! People are still talking about how good our band was :-) If I ever have an occasion to use them again I would in a heartbeat. Very fun and professional and sooo easy to work with! You can't go wrong with this great group of guys!!
The Time Pilots made a great night even better! They are the most fun, the nicest and damn talented band you could ever ask for.
Jon and everyone with the Time Pilots couldn't have been better! Weddings are stressful enough, make sure the music is worry free! Book The Time Pilots now before your date is taken!
The Time Pilots were awesome! We had so many of our guests tell us after the wedding that the band was amazing. They are VERY reliable, Jon often got back to me within 5 minutes of emailing him, they are very attentive to what YOU want your wedding to be like, they learned 10 new songs for us! My husband (that still sounds so weird) and I are really into music, but also very particular about music so we basically made all the set lists. You certainly don't need to do that, but the band was totally cool with us taking over in that respect.
Thanks to the perfect music, it was a big dancing crowd! Everyone, old and young, was on the dance floor all night. They played the songs that everyone loves to sing and dance to.
Although it was a big day for me, it was an even bigger day for my dad. He got to sing with the band which went seamlessly!
Jon and his band were incredibly attentive, interactive and tons of fun!
The one thing my husband wanted was a band....at first I was a little hesitant just because I felt like you pretty much know what you're getting with a DJ. We were told about the Time Pilots and went to see one of their shows and they blew us out of the water!!!! They were totally amazing...we continued to go to as many of their shows as we could leading up to our wedding because we loved their music so much! Besides the fact that they were a rocking band, they also kept the entire night totally organized for us! I didn't have to worry about a thing...and I even got to play a little guitar! It was the best night of my life and the Time Pilots really helped to create a fun atmosphere and EVERYONE was on the dance floor! Thanks again Time Pilots!!
We wanted to throw a great party for our friends and family to celebrate our wedding and the Time Pilots definitely brought the party! We saw the band at a local show the year before our wedding and knew that they would be the perfect addition to the reception we were planning. Jon was incredible to work with, detailed and attentive. We nearly forgot that we weren't the only wedding they have done and will ever do! They were flexible and accomodating with our party timeline and allowed us to give input on the set lists and break music. The Time Pilots are true professionals. They put on one hell of a show, play an amazing range of music (and play it well) and they know how to make a bride and groom feel special. You couldn't ask for more at such an important occasion! We'll be groupies for life!
The time pilots ROCKED at our wedding at Hermit Island Campground. They got everyone out on the dance floor and kept everyone dancing all night. At the end of the evening, no one wanted to leave!! We had a spectrum of guests from families to grandparents to our rowdy friends... and we are thrilled by how much fun my husband and I and all our guests had dancing. Before the big day, they met with us to plan and really listened to what we wanted for music and ambiance. I never had to worry about a thing, the band would respond to my emails/questions within the day. Even after all the planning, they were very flexible and open to last minute changes. Very prompt and professional. We had an absolutely AMAZING time. If I had to do it all over again, I would hire them again and I would recommend this band to ANYONE!!!
We highly recommend the Time Pilots if you are looking for a band that will get everyone (and I do mean everyone) on the dance floor from beginning to end. Jon and team were so great to work with - they met with us in advance to work out the details and they even learned a new song for us. We got tons of comments after the reception about what a good job they did. Would definitely hire them again.
My husband (then fiance :) and I booked The Time Pilots for our wedding at The Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, ME and they were AMAZING!! Once dinner was served and the band begin playing, everyone (of all ages!) were on their feet by the end of the first song. The event manager at the hotel even commented that she had never seen so many people dancing and crowding around the dance floor. We could not have asked for more fun people to work with or a better band to celebrate with than these guys. They sound fantastic and definitely have a contagious energy. If we had to do it again, we wouldn't change a thing!!
