    Guests were on the dance floor the entire night!

    We are SO happy we hired the Freshmakers to play our wedding in Lake Tahoe on June 29. Our guests are still telling us how fun they were. They played a wide range of hits that kept many of our guests on the dance floor the entire night- so many sing a longs! Thank you to the Freshmakers for keeping the vibes high on the best day of our lives.

    WOW!! Truly Amazing

    We can not describe how incredible every member of the band was before and during our wedding day. Before our big day, Eric and team were low maintenance, friendly, flexible, and always had our best interest in mind.

    On the day of - they were able to handle our "unique" cadences, entrances and requested dances. Then once the show began, they were ELECTRIC...even if the bride and groom stole the mic a couple of times. Our guests were raving all evening and then again on the day after.

    It is impossible to recommend them any higher!!! 6 out of 5 stars across the board.

    Best part of our wedding

    We’re from Dallas and planning a destination wedding in Sonoma was quite the challenge. One thing we didn’t miss on was the band. All night long our guests came up to us asking where we found the Freshmakers and telling us they were the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. Aiden knew how to get the crowd engaged and kept them on the dance floor for three hours straight. The videos I have from our guests of the band are some of my favorites to watch and relive the day. You HAVE to hire The Freshmakers, they will absolutely making your wedding one to remember. Thank you so much again guys!!! So much love from Dallas xoxo

    The Freshmakers are UNREAL! A must hire

    Without a doubt, the Freshmakers were THE best part of our wedding. They are completely wild in the best way possible and had the dancefloor packed from the first song to the very last. They bring the energy, get the crowd involved, and just bring the house down. It honestly felt like being at a concert. They were all anyone could talk about the next day and I heard so many people say that they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. You are making a huge mistake if you pass these boys up! It was legendary!

    Incredible Band

    The Freshmakers took our wedding to another level. We had been to so many weddings where the dance floor emptied very quickly into the evening and we wanted ours to be a celebration. We wanted the dance floor to be packed all night and the Freshmakers made that happen. Within minutes of them starting their set, I had people coming up to us saying this was the best wedding band I've ever seen. Preparing and leading up to the wedding, Eric and the Freshmakers took our guidance on what we were looking for. They do an incredible job of reading the crowd through the evening to keep the experience going. They are professionals and wonderful to work with. We...

    HIRE THIS BAND and you will have the best wedding

    FRESHMAKERS WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING!!!!!!!! We are back from our honeymoon and the entire time I was thinking about how I need to tell everyone who is getting married to book these boys immediately. We could not have asked for a better band- all of our guests are raving about the whole performance, the talent, the costumes, the choreography- everything was amazing and honestly made our entire wedding. I am so happy I found them! Thank you so much for making our day THE BEST.

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!

    We hired the Freshmakers as our wedding reception band and never regretted it. They made our wedding unforgettable and were professional from start to finish. They are high energy, fun and amazing performers. Your guests will NOT be bored and your dance floor will be full. They worked with us to make sure we got the music we wanted and boy did they deliver! They also provided our cocktail hour and dinner music. We were not disappointed and if we were throwing another event would hire them again in a heart beat!

    Worth every penny!

    Having a band at our wedding was one of our splurges and The Freshmakers really delivered. They kept everyone on the dance floor, had great energy and set the vibe for the rest of the night!

    "The best wedding band of all time" - us and all of our guests

    I can’t overstate how incredibly awesome this band is. They do such a fantastic job of giving the best performance they could possibly give without overshadowing your big day. At some point, we all wondered if we were at a wedding or a concert and I’m pretty sure every person there was dancing or singing the entire night. Everyone at our wedding across all generations continues to tell us how great this group was and that they helped make it a night that will be impossible to forget. The costume changes, the song selection, coming out for drinks with us afterward… we feel like we’ve made a whole new suite of friends in the process.

    Delightful fun and laughs

    This band brought the heat and silliness to my friend’s wedding. We couldn’t stop dancing! Loved the silly costume changes, the theatrics, and they even sang back-up for one of the bride’s brothers. They were very adaptive to the requested playlist and we all enjoyed them immensely. I can’t recommend them enough!

    Best band ever!

    Don't walk, run and book this band!! All the videos and research do not do this band justice. They are amazing! They tailored the playlist to our likely and put on an unforgettable show. Our guest went on and on about how good they were. They interacted with the crowd and sounded amazing. Highly recommend!

    Amazing energy!

    My wife and I received a recommendation to book Freshmakers from a friend who had recently attended a wedding where they played. Thank goodness for that referral because oh my gosh!!!! They ROCKED it!!!

    Leading up to the wedding they regularly communicated with us in planning what music we needed/wanted, when/where it would be needed, and even got photos of us to project during the reception! They were super organized and helpful during the planning process AND the wedding/reception. They were very communicative with us during the event to make sure we stayed on schedule, and they MC'd the reception events (i.e., announcing dinner service, toasts, first dance, cake cutting, etc. )

    We attended our friends wedding mid July and do they know how to throw a party! This band was great and we were entertained all night long! Playlist was great, outfit changes were fun, they made us laugh and most importantly got people on the dance floor for a good night!

    The best band ever!

    The Freshmakers were truly the best band ever and I mean that beyond just wedding bands. They brought an amazing energy and such a fun vibe to our dancefloor, especially with the costume changes and visual aids. Our guests couldn't stop raving about them! I cannot recommend them enough!

    The BEST Wedding Band Out There!

    The Freshmakers are by the far the best wedding band you could ask for. We saw them at a friends wedding and hired them on the spot. It was the best decision we made. Eric is amazing to work with logistically, and Aiden is best front man of all time. They brought high energy from start to finish and put on not only a performance but a show. If you are looking for a band, you need to book The Freshmakers! They were the highlight of the wedding and made it the most fun night I have ever had in my life.

    These lads are the BEST

    The Freshmakers absolutely helped us throw the party of a lifetime! Eric was a blast to work with throughout the planning process, super professional, and NO STRESS.

    The performance - they nailed our first dance request (This Must Be The Place) and got the party started right away. Aiden was a great MC. They went with the flow of the evening, read the room, and are fantastically talented musicians (and performers).

    Our friends are still talking about the costume change and how fun they made the party. Honestly I've never seen a band go so hard, and have so much fun, at a wedding. We had high hopes and they blew us away.

    The Best Decision I Made For our Wedding!!

    The Freshmakers MADE our wedding! We wanted a fun, high-energy reception and the Freshmakers brought it. They got every single person on the dancefloor and almost all of our guests came up to me during the wedding and said it was "the best band they've ever seen at a wedding". They played such a fun range of music, changed into wild costumes and had people dancing up on the stage. They elevated our Wedding x's 10 and made it exponentially better! They were also so easy and amazing to work with. My fiance and I discovered a song two weeks before the wedding that we wanted to make our first dance and they even went through the trouble to...

    The Freshmakers are always the right call! So fun and so incredible to work with

    I've seen The Freshmakers play live 3-4 times, and the shows were so energetic and fun that it inspired two separate couple friends to book them as their wedding band. They have incredible range and awesome medleys that make them a unique and amazing experience that always get people out on the dance floor and singing along, which in my mind makes the perfect wedding band.

    They're also great people- whether engaging with them in the crowd after one of their shows or in working to book them for an event. One of the couples had to delay their wedding and were obviously disappointed. On extremely short notice the band offered to make a custom video for...

    What a Kick Ass Band!!!!!

    If you’re thinking of hiring a band then don’t look any further...seriously. These guys ROCK!!!!! They play such an arrangement of different genres everyone at your party will love them. We’ve seen them multiple times in the past at different venues so when it came time to hire a band for my brothers birthday party there was no question. Eric communicated great with timely responses and no issues. Five starts across the board! These guys are simply bad ass!!!

    Book'em!!!

    Where do I begin? And before I do, you should already be booking this band! Go ahead, I'll wait.

    While (frustratingly) trying to communicate with various bands, my then fiancee and I came across The Freshmakers on Wedding Wire. Ironically, the band happened to be performing a gig several hours away from us the next evening. After reaching out to the band leader, Eric, to see if our date was even a possibility, my fiancee and I agreed to make the trek to see them and say a quick hello in between sets the following night. The rainy, two and a half hour drive was more than well worth it! From the time we walked in the venue...

    Amazing band!

    Can we give them 10 stars?? Seriously, hands down, best part of the wedding outside of the "I Do's"! Our guests raved about The Freshmakers for days afterwards, and we even had 2 guests who were interested in hiring them for their own weddings! From the beginning Eric was super responsive and professional to work with. He was upfront with all the options and associated costs, and helped us pick and choose to stay within our budget and create an amazing experience. Once he heard that we had a sports-themed wedding party entrance planned, he even had the guys set up smoke machines for it! They also learned several songs for us - nailing piano and guitar acoustic versions...

    They're the best!

    I've worked with a lot of bands in weddings and different events in the past. No other band is like The Freshmakers. They're fun, easy-going, quick to catch on the vibes and they just know what elements to add on the show to make it fun! I recently had the pleasure to work with them on an event and they were the highlights of the night. Every guests loved their energy, the song choice and they made the event so much different! We all had a great night of music and dance. I'd definitely love to have them again for my next event!

    Working with this group was AWESOME! We ad them play at our wedding and they were a hit! Incredibly easy to communicate with which made planning and organization very accommodating. On top of that, they have a great sound. I've been to a lot of weddings with great bands and DJs, but this group sits above the rest. Everybody was out on the dance floor as they played music spanning several decades and genres. The icing on top, they knew that my wife and I were big time Philadelphia Eagles fans and learned the lyrics to the fight song and played it while we cut the cake! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. These guys rock!

    Eric and The Freshmakers are an awesome group to work with and fantastic wedding band. From our first meetings to our wedding day, they handled everything professionally and made sure to accommodate everything we wanted. They even worked with some of our family members to surprise us with our favorite NFL team's fight song. Everyone still talks about how we had "the best wedding band ever" and we could not agree more. They kept the party going until the very last song. Highly, highly recommended!!
