We had the Joel Young Band at our 10/14/23 wedding, and they were an absolute HIT! We got compliments on them all night long. I'd booked them after my sister did for her 2022 wedding, where they were also a huge success. Super easy to communicate with during the planning process, and they absolutely brought the fun day-of. They even learned a song in Italian for us because we had family flying in from Italy! Our dance floor was packed truly all night long, every song, every genre, every decade of music, didn't matter! People, myself included, really enjoyed when members of the band came out to the floor, especially during the Piano Man sing-a-long! Absolutely a 10/10 must-book vendor - you won't be disappointed! -

The Joel Young Band (JYB) was by far one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding! My husband had seen them perform at his sister’s wedding about 6 years ago and he knew he wanted them to be part of our day! We reached out to Joel about 11 months before our wedding on 11.25.22 and we were thrilled when we learned they were available! Three weeks before our wedding, my husband and I had a phone call with Joel to go over our timeline for the reception, and talk about song selections for our first dance and parent dances, as well as entrance songs and a song for cake cutting! When we shared our choice for our first dance and asked Joel if they knew it, he replied “No but we will learn it!”. Fast forward to our reception, and JYB absolutely knocked their rendition of our first dance out of the park. It was truly such a beautiful moment and it was made by their amazing talent both instrumentally and vocally! The whole night was incredible. They truly kept the party going all night long, playing everything from current hits to classics that had everyone moving and out of their seats! Their talent is evident in every song they play! All night, our guests were coming up to us saying “amazing band” “they are so great” “where did you find them?”, clearly we had made a great choice! Throughout the planning process and the night of Joel was communicative, fun, professional, and easy to work with! I truly cannot begin to thank JYB for making our reception so incredibly fun and special. We have memories that will last us a lifetime and we are so grateful to them for being part of our big day! We want to do it all over again just to have that epic party! Lots of love, Mary & Jonathan G. -

The Joel Young Band was one of the best wedding bands we’ve ever seen. Not only were they an excellent band and musically talented, they knew how to party! The band was full of energy and knew how to read the room. They stuck to our schedule and we’re great MCs for the events, and they added all kinds of touches to make the night special. They got the crowd going, and played to different age groups across the course of the night. They had a great rendition of our first dance song, and played all the songs on our list. They loved the crowd and the crowd loved them back!! We had an amazing time, and we’d hire them again in a heartbeat. We’ll be recommending them for everyone of our friends’ weddings! -

The Joel Young Band was incredible. They kept the party going the entire night and didn’t even really take breaks. They were great at keeping the crowd engaged and played great music that really kept the party alive! Our dance floor was jam packed the entire night and everybody had an amazing time. We are still getting compliments from friends and family on how great the band was. Joel was basically the MC the entire night and did everything right – he really helped keep the night flowing smoothly! Leading up to the wedding he was also very responsive and made the planning process seamless! Definitely look into them if you are looking for a fun band! -

Hire this band. Aside from the great communication, responsiveness to the craziness of planning a wedding, and the incredible value for your buck...this band absolutely ROCKED.
Our wedding could not stop dancing. Over 4 hours of incredibly fun music. This group knows how to keep a party going and how to create the most fun environment possible. They even had to start playing some easier music just so people would get off the dance floor and eat!
Joel Young Band was also so receptive to our requests, from special songs to a music-based game we wanted to play before our cake-cutting ceremony, to even allowing our cousin to play the drums with them for a song or two...the night was made even more perfect because of this phenomenal group.
Getting this band for your wedding should be the easiest decision for your special day! -

The Joel Young Band did an incredible job at our wedding reception and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to hire a band for their wedding.
Joel made the entire process quick and easy. He got back to us almost immediately after we first reached out, the deposits were reasonable and easy to pay, and Joel was always quick to respond to any last minute questions or concerns leading up to the wedding date. Joel and the rest of the band even allowed my wife's cousin and brother in-law (both musicians) to join them on stage for two songs during the reception and could not have been more accommodating.
Our wedding was the first time my wife saw them perform but I had seen them twice before and they were every bit as good as I remembered. They absolutely crushed it at our reception and the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. The band had an awesome stage presence and knew which songs to play and when. Almost everyone I talked to during the reception/after party and since, has had nothing but the highest praise for Joel and all of his bandmates and their energy. Guests have asked how we found our band and want to book them for their weddings/events.
Hiring the Joel Young Band was definitely one of the best decisions my wife and I made when planning our wedding!

I can’t imagine a better band for my wedding. The Joel Young Band was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. From the moment we spoke to Joel, we knew we made the right choice. He was so awesome to work with. He was so understanding when we had to reschedule due to covid, and then once the wedding got closer he helped us lay out the evening including letting us choose songs. They played songs we requested and felt out the vibe of our crowd to make sure everyone was on the dance floor and having a GREAT time. They’re high energy, interact with the crowd and had our guests cheering for an encore at the end!! Multiple of our guests have asked for the band info.
We had high expectations and they completely exceeded them. If you’re considering hiring The Joel Young Band- do it, I can’t recommend them enough!!! -

Jay M. Sent on 02/09/2020The Joel Young Band are true Professionals
Along with my wife Susan, I’d like to thank Joel Young and his band for the stellar performance and ‘show’ they put on Saturday for Erin and Tom’s wedding. The evening was so very memorable, and the band was a major contributing factor. Their professionalism and quality of musicianship was at the top. Joel was fun in moving the evening and night along. He made it genuine and not the sometimes-canned approach bands take to wedding gigs. Erin and Tom can’t stop talking about how much fun they had at their reception with family, friends and good music.
All the best,
JayThe Joel Young Band's reply:
Hi Jay,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review of our participation in Erin and Tom's wedding. What a fun party, and we're glad to hear that you and Susan had such a good time.
If you don't mind, please let us know of anyone that is looking for a band (for any occasion), and please send them our way. : ) http://thejoelyoungband.com/

Sarah J. Sent on 10/26/2020A phenomenal band! Made our day.
Where to begin? In planning a Covid wedding, there were plenty of challenges, but working with Joel was not one of them. They rolled with the punches down to same-day changes, and our day would not have been the same without them. They brought the party, kept the energy level high, engaged the crowd and ran things smoothly all night. We are forever thankful! -

Best band we could have ever wished for!
Our expectations were truly exceeded in every way! Even at an amazing venue like West Point… party isn’t a party unless everyone is out on the dance floor having fun. The pumpkin spice martinis at cocktail hour might have loosened everyone up, but you guys crushed it. Numerous guests went out of their way to tell me that it was the best music they’ve heard at a wedding. Very few bands could pull off a playlist that kept everyone dancing from my lieutenants in their early 20s to my 92 year old grandfather and everyone in between for literally the entire duration of the wedding. Your enthusiasm, energy, and passion for what you do was apparent the entire evening. Thanks again! - Chris & Sarah -

Roxana D. Sent on 05/20/2019Best Wedding Band Of All Time
Joel Young Band was phenomenal for our wedding! Our wedding was on September 30th of last year. I was a nervous wreck trying to find a band. They were very reasonably priced, and the level of skill and professionalism they possess made everything seamless. They went above and beyond for us and tailored so many aspects that made the day unique and personal for us - from the personalized ceremony to playing a special song for our long-distance traveler. They even played Brandy with our surprise guest Dube on the drums!! The crowd went absolutely wild with excitement! Because of these guys, this was the best night of our lives. To wrap up the night, they played by husband’s favorite band – Zac Brown Band, and had him come up to sing! His aunt came up to me later in the night to tell me he was so good that he should be on the Voice. (I wouldn’t go that far… but it was pretty good.) My husband was on cloud 9 after that. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We absolutely loved them! Thank you again for everything!!The Joel Young Band's reply:
Thank you, Roxana, for making us a part of your incredible wedding! We had such a great time with you and your guests, and yes, your husband killed it on vocals! -
