WOW! This band was incredible! They did all the music for our wedding. Ceremony, cocktail hour and of course reception. They are very open to your song choices! Even their playlist during their breaks were amazing. We are so incredibly happy with how well the band fit with our wedding. We danced the whole time! Incredibly easy to work with and very fast response. I 1000% recommended them.
I waited a few months to write this review because I was trying to make it the most epic review for the MOST EPIC wedding band ever. If you want your guests to get absolutely wild on the dance floor, this band is for you! They absolutely shredded - what an amazing group of talented individuals. All of the most epic 90s songs that made the nostalgia sooooo REAL. My grandmother said, "I have never seen people attack a dance floor like they did at your wedding" and I think that adequately describes the night- people were sprinting back to the dance floor from the drink line/bathroom song after song because these guys are THAT GOOD. Our guests were on their hands and knees begging them to play more at the end of the night. My husband and I could be considered music snobs honestly, and my god this was the best money we spent for our entire day.
Victor was an absolute pleasure to work with and was so kind and communicative. We ended up booking them for the DJ package too, so they did the music for our ceremony and MCd our reception- which was absolutely worth it. If you're thinking about booking them, this is your sign to absolutely, 100% do it. Thank you, YouOughtaKnow Band for making our wedding unforgettable!!
If you are searching for a band to play at your wedding stop searching! You Oughta Know is it! All of our guests were out on the dance floor and people were constantly complimenting on the band for days after! They were a hit!! Not only are all five band members some of the nicest most fun people but they are so talented at what they do! We had live music and some DJ music that You Oughta Know played. Victor was so great to work with and was the greatest Emcee ever! We love You Oughta Know!
We've seen this band many times across the Twin cities, and they were the most perfect band. Almost every single person (325-person wedding) was on the dance floor all night, and friends and family kept coming up to us all night asking who the band was. What's great about this band is that they appeal to all generations with songs everyone loves, but aren't just the songs played at every wedding ever. We couldn't have made a better decision.
I have never seen, or heard of a wedding band playing an encore, but by the end of the reception our guests demanded it! Hands down the best decision we made for our big day.
The band was extremely easy to work with. They helped us create our perfect set list, took song suggestions, MC'd for the night, and communicated flawlessly throughout the whole process.
Book these guys if they are available!
You Oughta Know made our wedding day incredible! They traveled to Madison with us for the big event. Victor and the team were so fun to work with. I appreciated all the questions they answered for me from the beginning. They are a great investment because they also acted as MC for the evening and helped things run on schedule in addition to bringing great entertainment. They also play a ton of the classics in addition to 90s songs so we had people of all ages on the dance floor all night long!
I would highly recommend working with them!
We hired You Oughta Know, and they were fantastic from top to bottom. They helped orchestrate the wedding reception announcements, grand march, speeches, and listened to what we wanted. If you want all 90’s, they can do it. We wanted a band that played all genres to get the old and young out on the dance floor, and they were flawless in execution.
You Oughta Know was absolutely incredible and I can't say enough kind things about them! If I could give them 100 stars I would. Victor and the crew were so easy to work with and made the entire process super easy. We used them for music during our ceremony (they played our spotify music from their equipment) and then they played our reception. People did not leave the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG! One of my favorite parts from our wedding was during the band breaks, they would play a preset playlist from spotify to keep the dancing going, and members of the band actually came out to join the party on the dance floor! These guys were an absolute blast and people are still talking about how incredible the band was. You Oughta Know was easily one of the best choices we made for our vendors the entire wedding planning process.
Of all the decisions that go into planning a wedding, having You Oughta Know as our band was hands down the BEST decision we made!
The dance party was a blast and nonstop. Sarah's pipes impressed all our guests and we received endless compliments on their performance. Victor was super helpful planning out all the logistics and song selections leading up to the big day, and did a great job managing the sound tech, announcements, and general flow of the evening. We also used Victor as our pianist for the ceremony which worked out great.
I think the band was definitely the most memorable and unique aspect of our reception. Highly recommend!
YOU GUYS. Stop looking for a band and book You Oughta Know. They specialize in 90s party music, yes, but the played something for everyone at our event. And they can PLAY. Our dance floor was packed and rowdy from the very first song. Talented, fun, and accommodating - they were perfect. We are still getting compliments almost a month after the event.
Victor handled communications during the planning phase; he was responsive and offered many helpful suggestions along the way.
Bands can make or break your event and You Oughta Know definitely made ours. So happy with our decision to book them!
This was the best band ever to have at a wedding the dance floor was always full. All of my guest raved about the band and how great they were. Victor was so amazing and accommodating to work with which made it a breeze. I would highly recommend them to any couple you will love them.
