Short version: Tom and the TVK Orchestra are tremendously talented professional musicians with many years of experience providing beautiful music for weddings and other events. T...heir performance at our wedding was absolutely stellar. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and our guests are still raving about the band. Their price was very reasonable and the end result was just perfect. We strongly recommend the TVK Orchestra for your event!
Longer version: When we began planning our wedding in the summer of 2019, we knew we wanted a big brassy band that could deliver modern hits but also Sinatra and swing standards as both of us love to swing dance. After researching many bands online, we found Tom and the TVK Orchestra and they seemed like they would be a perfect fit. Shortly after, we met Tom in a Starbucks and immediately knew he was the band leader for us. He and his band have many years of experience and have played thousands of weddings. He reassured us that he knew the type of sound we were hoping for and that he and his team would deliver that. Spoiler alert: he was absolutely right and definitely delivered!
Through the remainder of 2019 and early 2020, Tom worked with us to learn more about our specific needs and styles. We would routinely text him YouTube links of different versions of songs that we liked and he would always respond by saying he and his band could definitely do that. No problem at all. It was so reassuring to know that the music for the reception was one thing we would not have to worry about.
When the pandemic struck in early 2020, we and many other couples postponed their weddings to 2021. This understandably was a major blow to everyone in the wedding industry. Obviously, we were disappointed that we had to postpone (as most couples were) and that had to be very difficult for Tom and his band. However, through the entire pandemic, Tom constantly reassured us that everything would be ok and that he and his band would be ready to go wherever and whenever we ended up having our wedding. Tom was truly the steady hand at the helm that helped us weather that storm.
Tom and his orchestra also worked seamlessly with our other vendors (specifically the venue and the lighting/draping vendor) to deliver a beautiful performance that was jaw-dropping acoustically and visually. All night long, guests kept asking us “Where did you find this band??!!” Even now, whenever the topic of our wedding comes up, people immediately start raving about the band. The TVK Orchestra delivered, big time.
Considering all of the music that the TVK Orchestra provided for us (trumpet at the church, trio for cocktail hour, 7 piece band for dinner, and 16 piece band for 3 hours of dancing), the price was very very reasonable. Listening to them play all night, we were so happy and so amazed by their talent. Clearly, they had done this many times as they knew exactly what songs to play to keep the dance floor full and yet also played our special requests. It was absolutely perfect.
The flexibility and professionalism of Tom’s team was really apparent. Whether it was the trio, the 7 piece, or the 16 piece band, they all sounded awesome. If you’re looking for a talented and experienced band of any size for your event, we strongly recommend Tom and the TVK Orchestra. You will get beautiful music from true professionals at a very reasonable price. Hire them! You will not regret it.
