Time Pilots

p, and the talent was unreal. We gave them a sense of the music we love, and without providing a single song, they absolutely nailed the vibe. They read the room perfectly and moved through our favorite styles with soul, style, and so much personality. It felt like they’d known us for years. Since we didn’t have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, Jon stepped up in a big way to keep everything on track. He was calm, professional, and made sure the evening flowed effortlessly — we never once had to worry about what was happening next. Multiple guests told us this was *the best wedding band they had ever seen*, and we couldn’t agree more. Everything was tight, polished, and personal — the perfect balance of professionalism and spontaneity. If you’re looking for a band that brings heart, energy, and total command of the room — *and* keeps your event on track — this is the one. Book them. You won’t regret it.

ey had us on our feet dancing the whole night. Massive thanks to Jon and the band for being a critical part of our celebration!

ple'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!

edding! 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!!!

un, 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.

ut the way the band members interacted with the guests and kept the energy going! We highly recommend Time Pilots for any occasion!

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.

reat 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!

, 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!

ed 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!

n 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!

ng/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!

as. 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!

eception. 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!

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!

20 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!

f 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!

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.

ofessional 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!

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!

y 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!!

e were dancing the night away! Our guests were raving about them!

o 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.

s. 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.

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!

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!

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!!!

t 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!!!

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!

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.

ctly 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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

, 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!

ect, 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!

derful 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!!

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

loor 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!!!!

alls 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!

uld recommend if you enjoy 80's covers.

w 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.

p 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.

lecting 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!
