Great Band!

The Jameson Four were fantastic! Could not have asked for a better band for our wedding. Toby was professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. The songs kept people on the dance floor and they sounded great overall! Being in a band myself, Toby even let my band have a guest appearance which was the cherry on top to a perfect wedding! Highly recommend these guys!

Couldn't have asked for better!

Toby was amazing to work with and super easy! My wife and I did a destination wedding in Maine (we're from Minnesota) and he made the process of getting everything set up effortless. Even when he was in the studio recording an album, he answered our questions promptly. In person, you will not meet a friendlier guy. I even surprised my wife by bringing one of my guitars to the wedding and Toby and the guys were more than willing to accommodate me last minute.

As for the music, what a banger! We were a little concerned that we wouldn't get much dancing since it was a live band rather than a DJ, but with the classic 90s hits and a few cool renditions of modern pop songs that they did, I don't think we had an empty dance floor all night.

Long story short, if you're looking for a wedding band in Maine, hire Toby. You won't find anyone better.

Truly Exceptional! (They Rocked!)

Toby and his band were extremely professional, executed everything seamlessly, and kept the dance floor popping all night. They have a huge variety of songs they can play. You can work with Toby to curste a playlist or you can leave it up to him and the band, who are great at feeling the vibes and figuring out what song will hit! I truly was personally blown away, and our guests also loved them- we received SO many compliments on our band, both during and after the wedding. Toby is awesome, we chatted with him a few times leading up to the wedding and he listened to exactly what we wanted and also offered helpful insight and ideas based on his experience performing at weddings. Would 10/10 recommend!
