Best Band Ever!

Top Tier was the wedding band of my wife and I's dreams - we highly recommend going with them for your wedding! From the second we contacted JD, he was professional, flexible, and had great communication from the initial consult meeting all the way through to the closing song at our wedding. I can't speak highly enough of how easy it was to work with JD and Top Tier, which helped calm our wedding planning nerves by a lot.

On the actual day, wow! My wife and I have been to many weddings these past 2 years and I can confidently say Top Tier is the best we've seen. The group does an outstanding job of feeling the party's energy and matching it with their set list and play style. One thing I really appreciated is that they went out of their way to make my wife and I truly feel like we were THE life of the party (including bringing us on stage impromptu to sing Don't Stop Believing which I will remember forever!).

If you want a band that will make the wedding of your dreams, Top Tier is THE band to book. Thank you Top Tier team and JD for making our wedding night so special!

Best Wedding Band EVER!!!

Top Tier was truly the most incredible band!!! It was such a gift to have them play at our wedding. They were timely, responsive, and professional. But more importantly, they were incredibly personal, engaging, excited to be there, lively, and just the best time!!! Everyone raved about how wonderful our band was and my husband and I now couldn’t have imagined the day without them. From MC-ing the event, to learning and performing a song written especially for us for our first dance, and then to finishing the night with a worship song: everything was perfect. If you’re looking for the perfect wedding band, look no further! We LOVE Top Tier!!!

As an assistant working with Top Tier, I have learned so much about the wedding business from JD, the band owner and leader. JD is wonderful to work with – he is so organized and prepared for every event. Many times he has had to work without a wedding planner or coordinator and has done much of the work himself! First and foremost, he wants to make sure that the night is perfect for each and every couple. He goes above and beyond for every customer and works very hard to accommodate special requests for clients. He is also extremely responsive to their needs. As a wedding planner, I love working with JD and Top Tier because I know that everything will run smoothly and that JD has the clients’ best interests at heart. The band is phenomenal – so upbeat and it is very obvious that they truly love to play music together. I can’t say enough great things about JD and the band, and I’m so grateful to be a part of this wonderful company!
