We can’t say enough good things about True Company. These guys made our wedding an absolute blast. I think they had almost as much fun as us. In the weeks leading up, they were extremely communicative and helpful. They handled everything like true professionals. They had never been to our venue before but handled setup without asking us a single question.
One bit I really appreciate is that Mike, the singer for the Reception, came up to my Bride and I to ask how much of the song for the Daddy Daughter dance he should play. He was prepared to play the whole thing and told us he thinks he should since the lyrics mean a lot of Anna’s dad. We said, yes please do the whole song. He crushed it.
The whole band is extremely talented and versatile. From country classics to pop punk, these guys do justice to the songs they play. We highly recommend them for anybody looking for a band to take their wedding to a new level.

Andy and True Company were amazing at our wedding! They were so accommodating with learning new songs, last minute changes, and doing live music and a DJ. They are very professional and easy to get a hold of. Our guests absolutely loved them!

True Company did the most amazing job playing at our wedding! We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends on how much fun the band was - the dance floor was full the whole night. Leading up to the wedding, Michael was super helpful with providing us lists of songs and taking our requests, and discussing all the MC-ing and scheduling type details with us ahead of time. The band was even able to learn a specific song we requested for our first dance which we really appreciated. Overall they made our wedding reception so much fun and we would highly recommend them!

Michael was very attentive and communicative when we contacted him for possibly performing cocktail hour and dinner at our wedding. He sent song desires/requests beforehand to ensure our needs were met. Due to the large area of the performance, Michael also planned for all needed speakers and sound needs.
The day of, Michael killed it!!! Regrettably, my now wife and I missed some of his performance due to photos, but what we did catch lived up to the hype. Not many musicians can pull off the one man show routine, Michael seems to excel in it!!! Guests and family were complimenting his talents and thrilled with the surprise of live music. Being of humble upbringing and very blue collar, I also appreciated the value that Michael provides. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a musician to liven up cocktails/dinner!!!

True Company is a must have for your wedding!
This band made our wedding unforgettable. They effortlessly transitioned between songs, keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging. The dance floor was never empty….even after a five course meal.
They do it all from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception.
Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful. Working with Mike and the band was a breeze. The range of music they play is incredible. Let’s just say from grandma to the flower girls they all loved the band.
My wife and I wanted a mashup for our first dance. (Bride- something slow. Groom- something fast) They created it perfectly!
The highlight? They brought a groomsman on stage to play with them as he is also a musician in the area. This made the room explode with energy. Their personalized encore, uniting us with our guests in a magical moment of love and music. Is there a better song than Closing Time by Semisonic? (grooms choice) If you want a wedding band that creates memories to last a lifetime, this is it.
True Company should be at the top of your list for your wedding.

Mike Hayes and the rest of the True Company band that played at our wedding went above and beyond - truly in their element with music that had everyone dancing all night (without the awkwardness of the usual DJ wedding songs) We couldn’t recommend more! They also helped with our first dance mash up and keeping the night running smoothly. And if you want to have the most memorable and beautiful live guitar and vocals during your ceremony look no further - everything was perfect!
Much love! Aubry and Chris

Had such a great experience with True Company, I had classical guitar for my ceremony and first dance and then the rest was the band and they were amazing. I got so many compliments on how much fun they were and how great they sounded. I was also so grateful for how much Mike helped me with planning out music for my ceremony as well as reminding me of all the little details during the reception, I didn't expect that at all but wow did it make things so fun and easy. They took song requests and just made the whole wedding so much fun. Thank you True Company! Now I have to plan something else so I can listen to them again LOL

My son’s wedding was a blast due to True Company! They are professional, easy to deal with, and the talent is beyond fabulous. They are all extraordinary, versatile - everyone of them sing along with playing their instruments. My son plays the guitar and was searching for talented musicians. Their vibe is pop rock dance dance dance the night away. Mike, the lead singer killed it with my mother son dance. We gave them a song that wasn’t in their repertoire and they learned it, sang and played it and blew me away!! Love True Compoany and wish we could do the night all over again. ❤️❤️

Unbelievably talented group. They took care of sound for my ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and were excellent emcees throughout the event as well.
Refreshing to find a really good band at a reasonable price.
Andy was responsive with all of our special requests.

True Company blew me away and exceeded my expectations. When I asked my wife what her favorite part of our wedding was, she immediately said “the band”.
They have such range with the different songs they can cover, and they mirror the bands they are covering so well. Definitely get the saxophone and keyboards added. The sax was incredible.
Andy was great helping me coordinate throughout the year. He always made himself available and made me feel comfortable with all my requests.
All in all I could not recommend this band more. I am so glad I chose them and feel connected to them after they made our night so special. They even let me take the microphone for a song. 10/10 review.
Bravo True Company!

Michael Hayes is incredibly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with! He answers text, emails, and phone calls right away and makes you and your event feel important and special from the moment you meet him. Michael gets to know you and the type of music you enjoy . His playlist, as well as Spotify always keeps the evening filled with music. Our wedding was outdoors, and the sound system was perfect! Michael did a wonderful job as MC at our wedding and really made our night enjoyable! I would highly recommend Michael Hayes if you want to take your special occasion to the best possible experience. Your guest will be talking about Michael Hayes music long after your event!

We have seen True Company play for many years and have always thought they were amazing. When we were able to book them for our wedding we were so excited. The entire planning process was seamless, from the cocktail hour music to all of the special dance song requests. We worked with Mike to curate the playlists, and can personally say there is no shortage of song options. Even in the off chance that they do not know a song, they are willing to learn upon request. The dance floor was filled from start to finish and they played every song we asked for. The band’s energy was great and you could really tell that all of the guests felt the same. We are still receiving compliments on band choice from those that attended. They beyond exceeded our expectations and we could not recommend them enough!

True Company played at our backyard Happily Ever After party once we returned from our destination wedding. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the event. They arrived early to set up before our guests arrived, which was much appreciated.
Our guests absolutely loved the songs they played and were very impressed. We would recommend them for weddings and/or any other event. We hope to use them again for future events.

Wow, this band is off the charts fun, talented, and professional. We hired Michael to sing as a soloist at our wedding and his band at the reception. Besides the wonderful woman I married, the best decision on the wedding day was to hire him and the band. They kept the party going and the dance floor was never empty. Our guests went on and on about how good they were!

Oh my goodness! True company was such a perfect addition to our perfect day!! From the acoustic guitar and singing as our bridal party and the bride walked down this aisle, to the live first dance song and finally the party and dancing at the end of the night, these guys knocked it out of the park!! We made most of our arrangements with Andy, and he did an excellent job communicating with us and making sure everything went as planned!! We are truly so thankful for True Company and their talents to help us celebrate our day!!

They were so great to work with. Super responsive and flexible. They did such a good job that our guests got up and started dancing DURING dinner! If that doesn’t tell you how great these guys were, I don’t know what else would. We absolutely loved working with them and everyone was asking about them and loved them as the night went on.

True Company was amazing at my wedding last month! Mike was so easy to work with throughout the process leading up to the big day. We had never seen them perform live before the wedding, and wow! The entire band completely blew us away, they sounded fantastic. We have some musically trained ears in the family and everyone was raving about them. Highly recommend!

Michael was FANTASTIC! We found him playing at our local brewery and immediately knew we needed him to play at our wedding. He went above and beyond our expectations and was the easiest piece of our wedding to book. Such a great live performer and also DJed for us and had practically the whole wedding on the dance floor. Couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you again, Michael!

True Company is absolutely wonderful and they were definitely one of the biggest highlights at our wedding. Their sound is phenomenal, very professional musicians and I loved the personal spin that they put on our songs. Andy provided great communication throughout the planning process and was always available if we had questions. We also had requested the DJ and MC services which were great. I've been going to live concerts since I was young and comparatively these guys are amazing and everything that I was looking for in our wedding band. Very happy and highly recommend!!!

True Company performed at our wedding this past Saturday and they were absolutely incredible! Super accommodating and easy to work with. Relatively reasonable price point compared to some other bands my friends/relatives have had. They had all ages out on the dance floor from our flower girl all the way to grandparents since there was a great variety of music. The dance floor was filled the entire time and had such great energy! Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a band to make the night of their wedding or any other event a blast. My husband and I would give 10 stars if we could!

We cannot say enough good things about Michael and True Company!!!
Where even to begin? We knew that we wanted a band vs. a DJ from the very beginning of our wedding planning process. We found True Company pretty early on in our search, and never looked back.
Michael was an absolute joy to work with. He was very responsive, and helped us to navigate (2) postponements (March 2020 and March 2021) - making us feel so supported and confident in their services.
Their song list is amazing! We were able to let them know what set list we wanted them to play based on what they knew, AND they even learned 4 custom songs for us that weren't on their original list - which was so personal and special.
The night of our wedding, they rocked our reception at The Haight! Almost every single one of our guests came up to us at some point and said how much they loved them. Everyone was dancing the entire night, and they sounded SO good LIVE.
We would recommend True Company to absolutely anyone! It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception. You won't regret booking them!

I cannot say enough great things about Michael and his band. We saw them perform live twice before hiring them for my daughter’s wedding and they did not disappoint! Michael sang before the ceremony, my daughters entrance down the aisle (a custom song he learned for her), all of cocktail hour, thru dinner and the first dance. I cannot tell you how their presence really added to the wedding. Everyone was commenting on how original and unique it was.
Before the wedding, Michael went above and beyond to work with us supplying roughly 19 PAGES of songs that were already in their playbook. We couldn’t even think of a song that we would want that they didn’t already know and the one song my daughter wanted to walk down the aisle to they learned as mentioned above.
So professional, so kind, sounds absolutely amazing, I cannot say enough good things about Michael and his band. I’m only sorry I didn’t find them sooner for my own wedding as I would have hired them in a hot minute. Do not let this band get away if your date is available you will be hard pressed to find anyone better. TRUST ME we did our homework!

The band killed it! They went above and beyond our expectations, and everyone said they almost forgot there was a live band playing they were so good! Mike was awesome at MC-ing for us, and getting everyone on the dance floor! If we had to redo our wedding or renew vows, we would hands down pick True Company over and over again without a doubt! They made our reception the most perfect reception and we loved every minute of it!

We LOVED True Company! We booked them for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and man we are so happy we booked all 3! They were great to work with from day one! The band even learned a new song for the Father/Daughter Dance which meant so much to us! Our families and friends are still talking about how amazing and unique our live entertainment was! Being a wedding coordinator myself, I can't recommend this band more! We can't wait for our next celebration with them!
