    Great choice

    This is from a guy that does not write reviews. Ordinarily. But I gotta say this group was great. Booked the Esteem Allstars March 2021 for our July 2022 wedding in Jersey City. Not only were they top notch, but the process could not have been easier. From our first virtual meeting with Jack, to our subsequent conversations with the band leaders, everything went exactly as planned. Seven piece band? No problem. You want a horn? Easy. Female and male vocalist...YES. How about a violin for the 11am ceremony? Check. and the guitar for cocktail hour? Of course. Nothing was too difficult. They even learned a couple new songs just for our wedding. And they worked seamlessly with our venue at Liberty House.
    And considering our wedding was HOT and SUNNY (early on a Friday afternoon), the Allstars had our crowd up on their feet the entire time! We will highly recommend.

    If you want your guests to dance all night, hire esteem entertainment

    Jim and his team were so helpful and responsive leading up to our wedding! We wanted something quite unique for our reception and they delivered! We asked for a DJ, Sax & Percussion to all play together because we wanted some live components as well as the dancing vibe!

    The dance floor was packed all night and DJ Vinny did a great job of playing all of our must play songs! Our guests loved the music and have given us so many compliments on the amazing vibes of our wedding which is all thanks to Esteem Entertainment :)

    We also hired a string trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they played modern songs which everyone raved about!

    So much fun

    I cannot thank our two DJs from esteem enough for making our day/night the best day ever!! Everyone raved about the music selection and had everyone either dancing in the tent or in the barn! Everyone was so sweet, and we cannot thank this group enough! Also, our ceremony musicians were spot on. It was beautiful and they sounded amazing. Thank you esteem for making our wedding the best ever!!! Highly recommend’

    Hawaiian Dancer was a Hit!

    Our Tiki Party was so complete with our Hawaiian dancer that we hired through Esteem Entertainment. Her fire dancing was fantastic, she was so great she taught some dances and our homeowners all joined in. So much fun, would highly recommend!

    Highly Recommend Esteem All Star Band with Jack Goodman!

    The Esteem All Star Band with Jack Goodman were amazing at our wedding Saturday night and we could not be happier!!! The band promised us an all night party and they delivered! Esteem Entertainment and Jack Goodman were always easy to get in touch with and were welcoming to our suggestions, while offering their own based off of their experience. They were able to play all of our requests while also feeling the vibe and energy of our crowd, and ensuring everyone was having a good time. Days later, we are still getting so many compliments about how much fun they had, and the how good the band was during our wedding. One member of the band also played during our ceremony and cocktail hour as well. They were able to create such a memorable experience that we as well as our guests will always remember. We highly recommend the Esteem All Star Band and Jack Goodman for your wedding- you won’t be disappointed!

    Esteem Entertainment's reply:

    Congratulations Dan and Heather - you guys were an absolute pleasure to play for and we're thrilled you guys had such a great time and awesome party! Best - Esteem

    A band that is talented, fun and absolutely made the wedding!

    The All Star Band with Esteem Entertainment played out our wedding. We heard them at a wedding about two weeks before we got engaged and ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM! Before we even booked the venue, we got in touch with Esteem to make sure they held our date because we did not want to take the chance of losing out on having them play at our wedding. When the big day came (September 14, 2019) - they were even better than we remembered! We had expected the DJ to play our first dance, father/daughter dance and mother/son dance. The band actually performed all of those songs and it was better than I could have hoped for! We still have people telling us that it took them a week to recover from dancing all night! The dance floor was always packed... even when the food was being served in between courses everyone would get up and keep dancing! I HIGHLY recommend Esteem Entertainment for your wedding or event if you want to have the time of your life! They’re so engaged with the guests, they’re talented and a lot of fun! Such a great company to work with and very talented musicians!

    Esteem Entertainment's reply:

    Dear Brianna,

    We won't ever have to tell people how good we are again! We'll simply let your wonderful words do it for us. Playing for you and your husband and your guests was simply delightful. Best of luck to you both :)

    The Esteem Latin Jazz Ensemble

    It was pleasure working with The Esteem Latin Jazz Ensemble. Jim was very accommodating and professional. I hired them for an outdoor summer party. Their latin jazz was grooved with great rhythm and harmonies that everyone loved. Created a fun and comfortable atmosphere at the party.

    Amazing Music and Professionalism!

    Esteem Entertainment provided an amazing band for our annual fundraiser last weekend! The music was excellent and the guests enjoyed every song played! The singers and musicians sounded so much like the original artists but with their own talented sound! Also, the band was very flexible and responsive to every request we had with the schedule of the evening, volume of music, and their playlist which added to the overall success of the event. This is the second year we have used Esteen Entertainment and will continue to in the future! We highly recommend them!

    My daughter just had her weddig on October 5,2018 and Jack G. with Esteem Entertainment Allstars were excellent. They had the dance floor packed the entire night and every song sounded exactly like the recordig artist. They made sure that they came into the audiance to get everyone dancing. My guests didn't stop telling us that they were excellent. If you are planning a wedding or party you need to go and check out this band and i can guarentee you won't be dissapointed. I have one more daughter getting married in the near future and I will definitely be calling Jack up again. I want to thank the entire band for making my daughter's wedding a funtastic evening.

    Amazing Band

    I hired Esteem Entertainment All Star to play at my wedding October 5th and they were incredible. When booking with Jack I expressed to him that I wanted my guest on the dance floor all night and that is exactly what they made happen. The whole band was amazing they played a selection of different songs and sounded just like the true artists. The lead singers interacted with my guest and made sure everyone was having a good time. I am still hearing from my guest how amazing my band was on my wedding day. I would highly recommend them to play at your wedding or any other special event!!

    They blew the roof off the place!

    The band was amazing! Their performance was beyond our wildest expectations! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and they had the crowd rocking! They played everything from big band, to Motown, to modern hits! Our event couldn’t have been any better because of them!

    I can honestly say I feel extremely lucky for having found Reel Time Band to play at our wedding….when I had first begun the search for a wedding band, I instantly read every review I could, watched videos and compared prices. I wanted a band who would play a variety of music, get everyone on the dance floor and a band who was affordable. Reel Time Band did not disappoint! Jack was always available throughout the entire wedding planning process and answered any questions we had. It is so evident this band has so much experience and is so professional and the day went on without any glitches. The band played the ENTIRE night and there was never a moment where a recorded song was just playing in the background. They PERFORMED and involved all the guests. I can’t even tell you how many compliments we have gotten-a month later and it’s all people are talking about…”Where did you find that band?!!” They truly made our wedding night one of the most wonderful days of our lives; I can’t say enough good things about this band! An excellent choice and I highly recommend! Stephanie & Anthony 6.9.18
