The best!!!

We are so, so happy with our decision to have Guilty Pleasure perform at our wedding. We listened to a lot of bands before contacting them and their sound, even on a recording, drew us in right away. All of the logistics were easy to set up with their manager/drummer Chris, who was super responsive and knowledgeable. They've been together for a long time and you can tell, they can cover all parts of a wedding from instrumentals for the ceremony and cocktail hour to a full on band for the reception. We were looking for a specific vibe with a lot of R&B and they absolutely nailed it. They even hunted down some harder to find recordings I requested for their breaks and learned a few songs for us. Everyone commented on how amazing they were and we completely agree, we couldn't have asked for more. If you've gotten this far, just hire them, you won't be sorry!

Professional, high-energy musicians. HIGHLY recommend.

We immediately booked Guilty Pleasure Band after hearing them play at a local dinner venue. During the entire process, they were professional and reliable. The band manager, Chris, was in contact with us 3 times before our wedding day to make sure everything went off flawlessly. The band was even able to honor our special request for us to sing a duet together, and for the groom to sing "Shout" with the band!

The band played a set during dinner, two dance sets, and also had music set-up to play when the band was not playing live. When I say that every single person of the 140 guests there danced…I mean it. Our friends danced. Our introvert friends danced. Grandma danced. They billed themselves as a party band and OH YEAH were they a party band. All of the musicians were top notch (especially the saxophonist! WOW. Our many musician friends and family could not get enough!). To top it off, the members of the band were incredibly kind, and we had a lovely time chatting with them during one of their breaks. Two weeks after our wedding and we still are hearing rave reviews from our friends and family. I know everyone says they had the "best wedding ever".....but Guilty Pleasure Band really did make ours the best!

Guilty Pleasure made our wedding!!

We had a great wedding, but having Guilty Pleasure really topped it off!! Truth be told, we did all of our band research online, risky we know! but... after watching video clips upon video clips of various bands, we came across Guilty Pleasure and it was an obvious choice for us. They are just as great, even better, live. From the get-go, Chris was readily available and easy to talk to. He worked with us to plan out every detail patiently and delivered to perfection. The band learned two songs for us, including our first dance, had seamless transitions and really kept the flow of the night for us. They were well priced, and they had guests of ALL ages dancing ALL night - which was so fulfilling for us. The band members are classy, fun, and blend well together. Without hesitation, we recommend Guilty Pleasure for your wedding or other party!
