    Incredible Band

    We hired Affinity NYC as our wedding band after they blew us away at the wedding of our close friends' in Utah. This was absolutely the right decision. They came to our Maine wedding and brought an incredible energy, keeping the dance floor packed the entire night. Countless guests came up to us to rave about how incredible the band was, noting that they could play any genre with genuine skill. The night wouldn't have been the same without them. We would recommend Affinity highly to anyone who wants a packed dance floor at their wedding!

    Thank you AFFINITINYC for absolutely bringing the energy and fantastic music to our wedding.

    Thank you AFFINITINYC for absolutely bringing the energy and fantastic music to our wedding. Your band made sure it was a memorable night not just for us, but for the entire wedding party. People didn’t want to leave the dance floor all night, and that’s all we could have ever hoped for. We know we wanted a live band for our special night, and you were everything we hoped for and more.

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    Affiniti was hands down the best wedding band we have ever heard. They were absolutely incredible and read the room perfectly, curating the right music throughout the night. Chandler and the rest of the band members were awesome. All were incredible musicians! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night and everyone was coming up to my wife and I to rave about how good Affiniti was. They truly created the perfect wedding experience even after having to travel through a tropical storm to get there! We could not be more grateful to Affiniti and their whole team that made our wedding day possible.

    Best Band in the Land! Your guests will party all night!

    If you are seeing this, stop searching and just hire this band! AffinitiNYC was awesome! They were great to work with from start to finish. They tailor-made the playlist with us and were willing to learn songs not already in their exiting playlist. Our guests could not stop talking about how incredible they were. The singers, the musicians and management were all amazing! Several of our wedding guests were recording artists or musicians from other bands and they were even impressed. They were so good that we will definitely look to hire them for another event. This is your band!

    Outstanding energy, creativity -Wedding music of our dreams!

    Chandlar and his incredible team made our wedding so memorable and energetic. They were super easy to work with and don't have any restrictions when it comes to playing what you want - they are versatile and can play ANYTHING, and if by some chance they don't know a song they're excited to learn it. All of our guests are still raving about how amazing our wedding band was and we're so happy we chose Affiniti. Thank you, Chandlar & team!!!

    Hire them now!

    We planned our wedding and secured most of our big ticket vendors in the height of COVID, which meant committing to AffinitiNYC without ever seeing them perform live. They were a breeze to work with in the planning process. We hired a 7-piece band to play the dance party/after party portion of our wedding (3 hours straight of performance, 10pm-1am). They sounded fantastic and maintained the vibe and energy we were looking for. Nearly ALL of our guests came up to me or my husband in the night to tell us how much they loved them. They were such a key element in creating our perfect wedding day and we are so happy to have found them!

    Absolutely terrific, no other words needed

    Our daughters maid of honor had the Bernadettes at her wedding and we’ve since seen them at a few other venues, captains cove in Bridgeport, Trumbull center lawn,, they’re great, but we’re kind of Bernadetted out. You guys are similar and different at the same time, if that makes sense. Just terrific, like I said above, no other words needed

    Hands down the best event band ever. I know every review points this out but they we're truly the talk of the wedding. EVERYONE absolutely loved them! Kept the dance floor packed the entire night and were all a truly warm and lovely group of people. Couldn't recommend them more!

    Fantastic!

    AffinitiNYC is the best in the business. The most professional, organized, reliable, kind, and thoughtful entertainment firm in the World. And on top of all that, they understand how to read the crowd and know how to make the party flow. The music choice for me personally, is spot on. Everyone I spoke to, when asking what their favorite part of the wedding was, unequivocally said, Dancing and Music was the top choice!

    the band made our wedding!!

    We saw Affinity NYC at a friends wedding a few years before our and instantly knew we HAD to have them for our wedding! They are exceptional! During one of our meetings with the band about what our opening song would be we said... "well... a wedding we just went to did that same song" their response "doesn't matter WE'LL be better!" and they were!! They truly did not disappoint. They had everyone out of their seats dancing before the meals even were delivered to their table where we actually had to say OK everyone you do have to eat - they are that good that people didn't want to stop! The dance floor was packed the entire night and they were just a blast to have and to work with. One of our guests said, "I don't care- whatever party I have next they're coming- could be a baby shower doesn't matter" haha I would absolutely recommend this band to anyone. We have several more weddings in our immediate family we may need to put them on retainer! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our wedding day so perfect!

    Best band ever!

    My husband and I first saw AffinitiNYC perform one of the many times we were at prohibition prior to COVID. We fell in love with them, we weren’t even engaged, and said we WILL have them at our wedding one day! Fast forward a little over a year and my gosh we are so happy we got to sing and dance the night away with Affiniti. They absolutely KILLED IT and had our guests dancing the entire night even during this crazy pandemic. They were so awesome and made everyone comfortable by telling them they can dance on the dance floor or at their tables as long as they were enjoying themselves. We got SO MANY compliments from our guests saying they were the best band they have heard at a wedding. No one wanted the party to end!! They even played our first dance song as well as our mother/father dances. They went above and beyond and made our COVID wedding the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Karen and crew for being absolutely exceptional! We can’t wait to see you again at Prohibition once life is less crazy!!

    Must Have Band!!!

    Incredible doesn’t even begin to describe how amazing AffinityNYC is. We hired 2-piece for our ceremony and 8-piece for our wedding reception. From the start they were professional, flexible to work especially with covid, provided recommendations for our ceremony and completely nailed every request we had. This band will give all your friends and family something to talk about. From the moment they started playing, our guests were dancing the whole night. Our venue was so impressed they will be recommending AffinityNYC as one of their top vendors. We highly recommend AffinityNYC for your special day!

    Amazing band!

    We were looking for a larger, high energy band with a horn section and we seriously lucked out by hiring AffinitiNYC! Our wedding was in Vermont but we wanted to have a New Orleans second line and incorporate some very non-New England traditions into the reception. Chandlar and the band listened to our very specific requests and delivered above and beyond what we had hoped. Everyone could not stop talking about how great our band was - they kept the party going from the second everyone walked into the reception until the very end!

    Chandlar and Karen are the absolute best! My husband didn't want to book a band through a management company so when a friend recommended AffinitiNYC, we knew we had found the band for us. Chandlar and Karen were extremely helpful throughout the entire process, answering all our questions in a timely manner. We even got to see them perform before booking which is unheard of in the wedding industry. The entire band was amazing all night - from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. All our guests were raving about how much fun they had and how it was the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. We hope to be guests at another wedding with AffinitiNYC soon!

    What a party!!! AffinitiNYC made it all happen. Our guests commented on our incredible band--some saying that this was the best they've ever seen (and I'd agree). They were spirited, talented, and kept the party going the whole night. The dance floor was packed throughout the entire wedding. Chandlar and Karen were a pleasure to work with and didn't even blink an eye when we added a few songs at the last minute. We had so much fun dancing the night away with the AffinitiNYC crew.

    Everything about the event was awesome! The processional very appropriate and in excellent taste, the cocktail hour sax and vocals were well selected and performed, and the band and DJ phenomenal. I appreciate the cooperation offered by the band in support of the singing my my daughter, the bride. Also, the great support by the DJ by her husband, AJ and the BXtreme break dancers. Finally, the support given to me in my "try" and playing and singing a song for my daughter after taking my guitar out of a very prolonged retirement. This is not just my opinion but of every guest attending.

    Affiniti NYC is the most amazing party band. Karen and Chandler are fabulous vocalist with an insane energy and great band. Their repertoire is vast. I can not say enough about our experience. We hosted a $500 per person benefit and broadway producers were dancing and didn't want the night to end!!! That speaks for itself!

    My wife and I had had over 250 people at our wedding at The Florentine Gardens in NJ. As we were making the rounds to speak to all of our guests, at least one person at every table made a point of complimenting the band. This included professional and semi-pro musicians exclaiming that AffinitiNYC was the best wedding band they’d ever heard.
    The quality of the musicianship is exceptional. These are professional NYC musicians who also happen to run a cohesive event band. The band leaders, Chandlar and Karen are talented vocalists. The nine-piece lineup we selected included two other vocalists alongside skilled rhythm and horn sections. Affiniti can play anything and everything: R&B, rock, jazz, hip-hop, pop from all generations. We knew what we wanted above all in a wedding band is someone who would keep the party going for the whole 5 hours; Affiniti delivered in spades.
    Affiniti also played instrumental music during cocktail hour and dinner. They pumped up the volume when everyone was dancing and brought it down during meals when our guests were conversing.
    I had the challenge of booking the band from out of state and I was nervous about doing so “sight unseen”. But Chandlar put me totally at ease. He was friendly, patient, and down to earth. Also, despite their obviously superior musicianship, AffinitiNYC’s prices were right in line with the those of the big “entertainment group” bands.
    Once we booked them, Chandlar and Karen remained responsive and fun to work with. They drove out to meet us for lunch one day months in advance of the wedding. They took notes about our music preferences and offered suggestions for songs/genres. They expanded their song list to accommodate some of our “must plays”. Finally, Chandlar did a great job of emceeing the reception.
    We really couldn’t have done any better than AffinitNYC for a wedding band. If you want a great party with a world-class soundtrack, book them and you’ll be glad.

    We LOVED AffinitiNYC!

    First, if you're reading this, you obviously are considering having live music at your wedding. If you are on the fence between hiring a band and hiring a DJ, please do yourself and your guests a favor and hire a live band! No offense to all the great DJs out there. But when you hire the right band, live music brings life and energy to an event that can only be created by real-life musicians and singers, bringing all of their talent and energy to make your reception a joyous, one-of-a-kind event. Again, DJs have their place, but a wedding is a CELEBRATION and the best way to celebrate is with a real band, trust us!

    Second, when it comes to bands, these guys are the best. They were very easy to work with and put a lot of effort into understanding what types of songs - and what actual songs - we wanted to hear at our event. When it came to the event, they delivered big time, and exceeded by a large margin our very high expectations of them. The band sounded great from start to finish - never too loud, but always bringing the right level of energy to get people up on their feet, in some cases literally jumping up and down, and smiling. Our attendees ranged from kids to octogenarians, and everyone found something to enjoy in the song choices, which ranged from classic R&B, soul, pop and rock songs to current hits to Sinatra-esque standards. Somehow, they made every style of music real and full of real life and joy - nothing sounded forced or canned - and, except during the meal (when the played appropriate background music), the dance floor was always jammed.

    The band is made up of first-rate professional musicians, without exception, and the stars of the show, Chandlar and Karen, are truly exceptional singers and bandleaders.

    It's now almost two months and we are still getting comments about how great the band was and how much fun people had on the dance floor at our event. Out of space here, but hire these guys already!

    Truly exceptional!

    Affiniti performed at my husband's and my wedding last weekend, and we can truly say that we could not have been more delighted with their performance! Throughout the night, dozens of guests came up to tell us that the band was the best they had ever heard at a wedding. Our guests were up on the dance floor for the entire night without prompting- Affiniti was just that good!! Chase and Burgandy were truly exceptional as lead singers, and every single artist who performed that night left us feeling like we had attended an amazing concert! Everyone in the band was warm, friendly, and kind...and had a huge range and skillset! We could not recommend Affiniti with more enthusiasm! We are so so happy to have chosen them as our wedding band!!

    We are truly grateful that we choose AffinitiNYC as our wedding band. I love their professionalism and precise attention to minute details. KarenJ is amazing, her voice is beyond beautiful. It was a pleasure to have them perform not only at the wedding ceremony but also at the reception and it was perfection. Will definitely book the band again for any personal or social occasion.
