Sharon Sent on 02/08/2023The best⠴ hire them now!
We hired Decades for our daughter’s wedding banquet on 10/10/22! They’re EPIC !!!
As a native SF, I chair countless galas in The City from the SF symphony , SF ballet to organizations such as Dress For Success and Red Cross. The attendance for these major galas range from 300 to 10,000 plus. Entertainment is utmost important to keep our guests happy and wanting to return again for good times which is vital to support the cause.
For our daughter’s wedding…we had four days of festivities to celebrate her marriage and our gaining a new son!
Wedding Fete’ climaxed with a FUN but traditionally modern Chinese Banquet of 350 guests.
DECADES ROCKED the HOUSE! From the start communication with Billy was incredibly easy ! He not only listened sincerely and with consideration, he was key in providing input to enhance the day. Contract was EASY and clear. No extra jargon bleh bleh but straightforward — like Billy. The band came to the venue early for set up. Each person was not only amazingly nice, well mannered but also very professional.
When it came time for MUSIC… MAN OH MAN!
They played beautiful background music setting wonderful mood for all the dinner guests. The genre switched right after dinner to dance music! From the toddlers to 90 year olds, EVERYONE GOT UP to dance! Seats were empty with bodies all moving on the dance floor. By 12 midnight, we were gently getting scooted out by the venue! Nobody wanted to go home and it was extremely difficult to get them out the door because the music was THAT GOOD! People couldn’t get enough of DECADES! They still wanted to
P A R T Y!
Run don’t walk to get them in contract for your event! They are surreal! -

The show was simple to book and they worked in some of our needs very easily. They were punctual and got their equipment set up quickly and efficiently. Of course the show was amazing. They were all professional, polite, and just fun to be with. We will definitely be trying to book them in the future. -

How many weddings have you been to where the bride and her sisters crowd surfed? Well it happened at ours with Decades!!! While Decades can't promise the physical strength to lift anyone, they'll certainly set the dance floor off to get you there!!! We first saw them perform at a friend's wedding and HAD TO HAVE THEM at ours. They just killed it. Not a single person left the party without mentioning how much fun they had dancing. I loved how included every guest felt- young and old and non-Americans too!! INCREDIBLE... Jennifer the lead singer's voice is.... WOW!!! We were also so impressed that their sound person was moving around the room making sure everything was spot on acoustically. It is clear that they all LOVE to perform, they care about their craft deeply, and they know how to get people moving. So wonderful, we couldn't have been happier! -

Decades was absolutely incredible at our wedding in Santa Barbara, CA this past weekend!! It truly felt like we were at a concert and the song selections were spot on. Just about every person I spoke with that night LOVED Decades. Now we just need to find an excuse to throw another big party and have them back in SB. :) Thank you, Decades!! -

Philip R. Sent on 08/05/2023Decades blew us away!
Decades are an outstanding band and played a big part in making our wedding memorable. They performed acoustic guitar for our ceremony and then a two-hour set of songs to dance to at our reception. The dance floor was packed all night (moreso than I have ever seen at a wedding!) and tens of guests commented to us on how great the band had been. They sounded amazing with every song, have a broad catalogue and played every one of the 30-ish songs we requested. They were very friendly people and Billy (manager and drummer) is an excellent communicator, who was flexible in arranging sound (microphones, speakers) for our ceremony in a remote location, as well as coordinating smoothly with our reception venue. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Decades to anyone. -

Stop Thinking and Book Decades Now!
Wow, I cannot recommend Decades enough!! One of our main desires for our wedding was a band that gets everyone dancing on the floor and they did that and then some! Everyone we've talked to so far said that Decades were a highlight of a tremendous weekend, and seeing their ability to get ALL ages (3 - 85) dancing for the entire setlist was incredible. Everything from oldies, wedding classics, pop-punk, and a few individual requests had the energy high for the hours they were on. Better yet, they also provided fantastic ceremony live acoustic guitar for my wife's walk down the aisle (thank you for learning Old Pine, it was more beautiful than I saw in my head), great cocktail/dinner playlist, and a fun interactive MC to keep the party moving and guests in the correct spots at the correct times! They were even willing to accommodate (and practice with!) a request for one of the bridesmaids who signs part-time to join the band to sign our First Dance! Even before the wedding, they are so communicative from the start of inquiry through the months it takes to get to the ceremony (a big relief when dealing with the inevitable vendors who don't until only the week of) and wanting to work with you to give you the perfect day, and boy do they deliver! If I were to do it all over again, the first thing I would do is sign Decades!! They are THAT good! -

Braved the Storm and Kept the Party Alive
The Decades Band was definitely a highlight of the our wedding day! I heard from multiple people who were at the wedding how incredible the band was. They were so professional and were at the venue busy setting up all day. The whole wedding party enjoyed hearing the band warm up throughout the morning - it added another level of anticipation and excitement.
We couldn't have predicted a downpour on our wedding day in May - but it happened. They were such good sports about the rain and played until the very end. Since the ceremony ended in a shower of hail, after the cake was served I thought that the party was going to be over but the band drew an audience and we had more than a few people stay to the end of the night.
I would also like to say, my flower girl came to inform me that dancing to the band was the best and I should come and join her. In my experience, pleasing a six year old can be more challenging than a room full of adults - so cheers to Decades! -

Band made the wedding!
We had Decades for our wedding and they were fantastic! The music was excellent, and made the wedding so much fun. The band learned a song for the wedding as part of the contract! This made our wedding more special for us. I would highly recommend Decades to anyone who wants an awesome wedding reception!
Wedding planners: Decades is very responsive and easy to work with! The band members are very nice people. -

I wish everyone could experience what we did. I 100000% recommend them for your wedding! Thanks Decades for making our wedding a dream come true! -

The Decades! Best Decision EVER
The Decades were THE perfect choice for our wedding! I'll start by saying they made it really hard to end the night because we were having so much fun!! Their energy, talent and how they jammed really made our day special and intimate! I am not kidding when I say, all of our guests made it to the dance floor at some point. One of my favorite lines from one of our guests was that she was so happy because she was able to dance with her husband for the first time in years because he only dances to GOOD live music!!
Billy made the the whole process easy! He was easy to communicate with and we were at ease leading up to the day because of how professional he and the band are! Billy was also our MC and he worked really well with our planner to make sure we stayed on schedule. Overall the band made the night unforgettable! Highly recommend them and cant wait for another event to have them at! -

Katie M. Sent on 01/10/2023Booking Decades was the best decision we made!
Decades is an AMAZINGLY talented and professional band and they absolutely made our wedding reception unforgettable. The number one compliment we’ve gotten from all of our guests has been about how good Decades was. Billy was also an excellent MC and was highly communicative with us throughout our entire booking process. If you’re looking for a band that knows songs from every generation, can learn anything you throw at them, and who will melt your face and bring the house down you need to book Decades. I cannot recommend them highly enough and sincerely mean it when I say they were the highlight of our wedding (you know, besides the whole marrying the love of my life part). -

Decades absolutely crushed it!
Where do I begin? Decades was the absolute perfect band for our wedding in Ben Lomond, CA.
They were so professional throughout the whole process and they allow you to really customize your show. They allowed us to pick the entire setlist for the reception and Billy was the best MC we could possibly ask for. Ever since the wedding, all our guests keep telling us how much they loved dancing and singing along with the band. They even learned a new song for us that really brought down the house!
I would absolutely recommend Decades for any wedding, party, or event you have where you want people to have a great time. -

Emily P. Sent on 11/19/2022Best Wedding Band Ever!!!
Hiring Decades was one of the best decisions we made and ended up being one of our favorite things about our wedding! If you want amazing live music and your guests on the dance floor all night, look no further!! Decades was the perfect addition to our wedding in Olympic Valley. We loved working with Billy who took care of all the details, killed it on the drums and was the best MC! Will also played guitar for our ceremony which was really special. We chose the Oh, What a Night Package which included the band learning a song of our choice which turned out so good. Our guests all raved about how Decades was the best wedding band they had ever heard. If you're looking for a great wedding band, we can't emphasis enough how much we recommend Decades! -

Jami P. Sent on 09/30/2022This band is truly amazing
I found Decades on the internet when I was looking for a band to play my wedding in September 2022. After listening to some of their clips online and reading some reviews I decided to go with them. First off, the sound samples don't even do these guys justice they sound amazing. They cover such a wide array of music that any demographic at your wedding or event will be thrilled. Not only do they sound good, but their organization and professionalism is top notch, something you want during the planning stages of a wedding.
