    Wonderful music and lots of fun!

    I’ve used the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band for all 4 of my children’s bar/bat mitzvahs. They were wonderful. Easy to work with, accommodating and their music is fabulous. They really got the guests going! If my daughter were getting married in Chicago I would definitely use them again. Their traditional music is always meaningful and fun!

    Listen and Adds Lots of Creative Value

    The folks and Maxwell were patient and helpful during the planning process for the wedding evening. At the wedding, their execution was spot on. The bonus was that in action, Maxwell Band added wonderful creative moments that were not expected. I highly recommend.

    Alex, Tanya and the whole team had a blast playing for your daughter's wedding! I am sure that no one ever saw something as carefully can theatrically crafted as you created for your daughter's special day. Wishing her and all of you many more simchas!

    Unforgettable wedding music!

    From a very satisfied mother-of-the-bride: People are STILL talking about the band at Ellie & Jonathan's 2018 wedding. Maxwell St went from Klezmer to classical to show tunes to Latin to rock like multiple bands seamlessly rolled into one.

    Maxwell Street Klezmer Band's reply:

    We are so glad that all the planning paid off and that everyone had a great time! We will always remember that special night.

    Klezmer at its best!

    One of the compliments we most often received from our guests after our wedding celebration was how much they enjoyed the band. We couldn't have asked for more!

    Maxwell Street Klezmer Band's reply:

    It was a joy to play for your simcha! Thank you for taking the time to recommend the band--it means so much to all of us.

    Maxwell Street Klezmer Band

    Fabulous band! Gets everybody up and dancing - they really make a celebration special. We have used them for many parties - bar and bat mitzvah and weddings. Laurie is a great MC and Alex is superb on the violin, as are all the other musicians. Of course, they play wonderful klezmer music and they also play a variety of modern music - just ask and they can play it. Bravo - they will make your simcha special!

    Maxwell Street Klezmer Band's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to recommend the band! It was so special to play for you and your family, and we wish you more joy and many more simchas in the future!

    We were so happy that we chose to work with Maxwell Street for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. Alex and Lori were very friendly and accommodating - working with us to find the perfect klezmer, classical, and jazz selections for our wedding. Alex is an amazingly versatile musician - playing Jewish, Russian, and classical melodies with equal grace and ease. Our guests were very impressed with and touched by the music - we only wish we had had more time to listen to it ourselves. Thank you for working so hard to provide the beautiful soundtrack on our wedding day!
