Vote For Pedro was the band that was selected by our son and our new daughter-in-law at their wedding -- two weeks ago (9/9/23) Being from out of the state, so many of our friends traveled to St. Louis to celebrate with us. VoteForPedro was so great that the dance floor was never empty. Their music was all very upbeat and well-received. The venue was in the beautiful Crystal Ballroom of the Marriott St. Louis Grand. VoteForPedro completed the picture-perfect venue. We have received so many compliments on the band selection from all of our friends and family. They only took one short break during the entire wedding reception, and our guests remained for their return and danced the remainder of the evening. Amazing group of musicians -- all are so very talented! I would highly recommend this awesome band for any wedding.
Vote for Pedro did an amazing job and kept the dance floor packed all night ! Contemporary Productions also made it so easy to organize the night and did everything we asked them to do ! Highly recommend!
Vote for Pedro brought the life to the party! I wasn’t convinced that a band was the way to go but it so was the right decision. From the moment they started playing the dance floor was packed. It definitely put the fun into the evening. My only regret was we could have had them play another hour. Loved them!
Vote for Pedro did an amazing job bringing the energy to our wedding. They were a ton of fun and had a great mix of songs and genres that kept the dance floor going all night long. Contemporary Productions, their event management team, was easy to work with and we had no logistical issues leading up to or during the wedding. Overall, our guests loved the live band, and we would highly recommend them!
Vote for Pedro did an amazing job at our wedding! We received a lot of compliments from our guests who enjoyed the lively entertainment. They were also really easy to work with. We loved them!
Vote for Pedro played our wedding and absolutely crushed it!!! They kept the dance floor going until we kicked everyone out..
They were also very professional and great to work with, our venue had a few electrical issues but they pushed through and did an awesome job.
Vote for Pedro was wonderful! They maintained the energy throughout my wedding reception. I highly recommend booking them.
They were also well-organized, which matters SO MUCH.
Vote For Pedro is one of those bands that my mom and I saw around town at various venues and events and thought, "Wouldn't it be great if they could be our wedding band?" Lucky enough, they were available for our date, and we were so thrilled that they could perform in front of all of our closest friends and families. They were fantastic with learning a song that I had requested. And all of our night's MCing ran so smoothly! Every guest that spoke to us after the wedding said they had the most fun dancing the night away to our wedding band. We've been spreading Vote For Pedro's name around ever since. Go book them now! They are worth every cent, and and they do such a fantastic job with the best funky dance music.
V4P did an amazing job at our wedding!! I saw them play at another wedding a few years back and nothing has compared to them since. They are so talented and professional. We had to make a couple last minute changes through their coordinator by email (as late as the night before the wedding-whoops), but the changes were relayed appropriately and everything went smoothly. They killed the songs we specifically requested, and chose crowd pleasers very well! This was a pretty big expense for our wedding, but so worth it!!
Such a wonderful band with an awesome lead singer! They kept the energy rocking and everyone out on the dance floor for the entire reception, plus, they inserted the occasional slow song to vary the mood.
They handled the “first” dances and father/daughter dance masterfully. This band was a hit with our guests and so easy to work with. Such a great value for a live band and I highly recommend them!
Nothing but great things to say about Vote for Pedro! I worked with Peter at Contemporary Productions and it was an easy, flawless conversation.
I realized last minute that I would need our ceremony venue to be mic'ed up and Peter was able to have someone from Vote for Pedro help me out and get it set up before they made their way to the reception. This was a huge help once we realized just how many guests would be at the ceremony!
Once the reception came around, Vote for Pedro absolutely killed it! My husband and I were pretty specific on the songs we wanted and had a few requests, as well, and they made it happen! The band looked like they were having a good time and they kept our guests dancing all night long! We have been getting compliments since the wedding on our band and what a great job they did!
I cannot say enough about this band. We had comments all night long and in the days and weeks to follow about how fabulous they were. The energy was so high all night and everyone had the best time. Contemporary Productions (Gretchen) was so easy to work with and made the whole process run so smoothly. If you are looking for literally the BEST band for your special night, this is the one!! We'd book them again in a heartbeat!
Vote for Pedro performed at our wedding and it was amazing! They kept the dancefloor full all night long. The energy they bring to the room is unmatched. They are also super nice and easy to work with! We have received so many compliments regarding our wedding and they always comment on how amazing the band was! Thank you so much!
Our guests were raving about this band! Thanks for getting everyone on the dance floor. The music was amazing; it was one of the best decisions we made for our night. Additionally the band was super accommodating with all of the changes to our order of events and rescheduling due to COVID.
Vote for Pedro was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We hadn’t seen them perform live before so we didn’t really know what to expect, but they blew it out of the park. We had them play dinner music followed by dance music and both were perfect. The music selection they played great and the vocals were insane - if you want a wedding band that can crush everything from Whitney Houston (seriously) to Blink 182, this is your band. They also had fantastic energy and totally set the mood for the dance floor. Everyone raved about them after the wedding! Could not recommend them enough.
Vote for Pedro was so much fun at our wedding! They got the party started and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We highly recommend Vote for Pedro to anyone hoping to have an awesome party!
Vote For Pedro is the most energetic, greatest sounding wedding bands around! My daughter's wedding was this weekend and included in the compliments are praises for the band. People who usually go home early stayed until the end, whether dancing or just enjoying the music and party atmosphere created by Vote For Pedro, the compliments for the music have been pouring in. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed themselves due to the music provided. The room can be difficult to calibrate sound, but not for Vote For Pedro! The sound was incredible and the energy of the band electric! Thank you so much for all that you did to add to the night. From the moment we entered the room to packing up for the night, you kept it all exciting and the happy energy flowing!
Again, BOOK THIS BAND! I'm the Mother of the Bride and did the research to find a band for my daughter's wedding reception in St. Louis city. My husband's only request was to have a band. I checked online, visited bands at available venues listed on their websites (read "stalked", the Pedros will tell you we're now a part of the Pedro Posse because we've seen them so many times in the last year!) . Paul & Jeff play at smaller venues as a duo and would always talk to us about their music and work. Lidia, their lead soloist, is AMAZING! Their agency was very easy to work with. Wish I could let you see the crowd begging for more as they played their final song. They'll even let you pick a song to learn if it's not on their playlist. They were the one of the highlights of the wedding!
BOOK THIS BAND!! Vote for Pedro was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. The dance floor was never empty, and they ensured that it was a party. I still get so many compliments on our wedding. My only minor tweak would have been that my timeline was followed closer because we did run about an hour behind, but that is partly in fault of coordinator and not them, but that was my only complaint. Other than that, it was more than made up for in their performance.
They are amazing! After we booked, we went to see the band multiple times before the wedding mostly because we just liked them! They absolutely blew us and all of our guests away on our wedding day! Nobody was sitting in their seats once they started. They were enjoyable to work with, and even learned a few sounds for us which were performed flawlessly! I absolutely recommend! They are reasonable, professional, and great performers with a wide array of songs for everyone!
Vote for Pedro was amazing! They did an awesome job MC'ing and keeping the party going. They have a great range in terms of song selections and are willing to learn a few as well. Our dance floor was packed the entire time and our guests begged for an encore at the end of the night! They did such an incredible job that my sister is going to book them for her wedding as well! Definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Book Vote for Pedro!!
Honestly, vote for Pedro made our wedding. Not only did they play awesome music, but they were so helpful! They made all of us so relaxed and took care of all of the dj-ing and making everything flow nicely. They kept our dance floor full all night and people still talk about a wedding band. They are the nicest guys and just awesome to work with. Best decision of wedding planner! Having a band makes such a difference!
Vote for Pedro was awesome! I loved that they got the party started and had people on the dance floor ALL night. We were so happy we choose them for our reception. Booking was easy and everything went smooth.
These guys are one of the classiest bands in St. Louis. They preformed at our daughter & son in laws reception in both the 3 Pedro's & full band variety. One of the best decisions they or anyone could make in picking entertainment. They take the time to get to know the bride & groom to make sure they satisfy everyone's expectations. You won't be disappointed when hiring them.
We could not have been happier with having VFP at our reception. Its been over a year and to this day everyone still talks about it being the best reception they have been to! I couldnt have asked for a better night. These guys are simply amazing and we love them!!!
I heard this band in public events several times. I thought that they would be great for my daughter's wedding and contacted them. After seeing the venue she chose, it became immediately apparent that we could not possibly physically fit a 5 member band into the space. The band informed me of their 3 piece acoustic configuration. We went with them and were quite amazed at their harmonies and variety in music. They did a great job. Even Aunt Mary complimented the guys.
Last year, my son got married and we had plenty of space. Time to go BIG with the full VOTE 4 PEDRO band.
They did not disappoint. Our venue was WAY out of town. The band was there early to set up since the ceremony and reception were in the same location. Thank goodness they were there early. We had no sound system for the pastor to use. V4P to the rescue. They allowed us to use their microphone. Huge favor.
Once the band began, it was a non-stop party. They didn't stop between songs to figure out what was to be played. One song into another flawlessly. Even Aunt Mary danced a song or six.
I've learned that you get what you pay for. That's why I hire only the best. I don't want issues. From initial conversation, signing the contract, to taking down their equipment, V4P were absolutely professional.
They are in high demand for a reason. Book them early. You won't be disappointed.
