Could not have found a better band!
The Plaids were amazing at our daughter’s wedding. When we hired them, Doug immediately reached out and met with us to find out exactly what we wanted for the day. He was really interesting in creating the vibe that we wanted. The band’s interactive database allowed for easy communication about songs, announcing of the wedding party and any other relevant details. Skip ahead to the wedding day… When they struck the first chord, the dance floor was full, and it stayed that way until the last song! The variety of music they played was amazing: from AC/DC to the B-52s to Lizzo and everything in between! If you want a band to keep your guests dancing and make the day just perfect, call The Plaids. You will not be disappointed!The Plaids were amazing at our daughter’s wedding.

Get Ready to Party!
The Plaids ROCKED the house at our wedding in Winston Salem! They took our requests and ran with it and even learned our first dance song with some customizations. It was truly a party and had every one of our guests dancing. People are STILL raving about the performance to this day! We could not have imagined our wedding without them :)The Plaids ROCKED the house at our wedding in Winston Salem!

Super Fun Band - Perfect Group!
We booked The Plaids to perform at our wedding in the Outer Banks in nearly November this year. They were AWESOME! From the beginning, Doug was so easy going and fun to talk to. We told them about bands/songs we liked, and they were able to put together an entire set list based on our tastes. They also prepared music for the dinner which was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed them so much! We had a couple of special requests, which they were totally accommodating towards. We had SO much fun because of them!!!!
We really cannot recommend them enough.... we will definitely book them in the future for parties and any other instances where we would need a band!

Whatever word is better than Spectacular.
The Plaids made our wedding the talk of both the Triangle and Triad areas of North Carolina amongst our friends. They handled all the special requests professionally and made the request of the groom a priority for the second first dance. From that point it was party on and the whole room danced all night. They were so amazing that my wife's oldest daughter chose them for her wedding also which was a smash hit of ages ranging from 20 to 80. When the younger daughter gets married, I am expecting she will want them too.The Plaids made our wedding the talk of both the Triangle and Triad areas of North Carolina amongst our friends.

You have to hire the Plaids for your wedding!! They made our night perfect! We let them take the reigns on the playlist after giving them a little direction of how we wanted the night to go and they absolutely nailed it! They are wonderful MC's and helped the night flow and everyone was up dancing the majority of the night. Their sound is great and they keep the energy high!You have to hire the Plaids for your wedding!! They made our night perfect!

The Plaids were our first choice for our wedding entertainment and they did not disappoint! I had several meetings with Doug and Steve and they were great every time. They listened to all we had to say and accommodated all of our requests. They even talked separately with the musicians for the ceremony and made sure they had everything needed to sound great. The band was great during the reception and played a great variety of songs. We let them do their own thing (they are the pros) and they played two sets that were better than anything we could have drawn up for them. I highly recommend the Plaids for any party, celebration or wedding you might be planning - you will be pleased! Thanks, guys - wouldn't have been the same without you!The Plaids were our first choice for our wedding entertainment and they did not disappoint!

The Plaids were absolutely fantastic. We booked them for a Halloween costume party. Our guests constantly raved about them and said they took the party to a whole other level. I cannot say enough great things about them. They were responsive and extremely professional. They are versatile and can play not just 80s, but other more current hits. I plan to book them again in the future.The Plaids were absolutely fantastic. We booked them for a Halloween costume party.

The plaids hosted our wedding reception and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They followed through with all of my requests, including many personal touches. For example, when I submitted my song list I included a little blurb about why I wanted a particular song to be played, and they explained it before the song ("This one is for all the Chi Omegas!... This one is for the groom!"). They got EVERYONE dancing, maintained a smooth flowing schedule, and 2 years later people are still talking about how fun the band was. Highly recommend!The plaids hosted our wedding reception and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They followed through with all of my requests, including many personal touches.

Their song list is incredible, too. I would highly recommend them for your next event!The Plaids put on an awesome performance in a small venue for us!

Having the Plaids at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Steve was great to work with and was very responsive, the band had an online system for picking songs and writing notes to the band, (eg, father/daughter dance, wedding party intro, must be played, must NOT be played, etc), and they emceed perfectly. Steve and I had a before-wedding phone call to go over everything the band would be doing, which was very helpful. I had some preconceived notions about what our crowd would respond to music-wise - we wanted everyone, young and old, up and dancing as much as possible - and in the moment, Steve and the rest of the band sensed the kind of music that was getting people onto the dance floor and made an effort to keep the energy up which was exactly what we wanted! Completely down to earth, laid back, but professional and fun! The Plaids are a must for a fun wedding!Having the Plaids at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!

The Plaids played at our wedding back in September and there are just no words.....but amazing. All of the guys were professional but so fun. They made our wedding night. We received so many compliments on how fun our wedding was and I give all credit to those guys. Steve was so accommodating to all of my needs and wants and he made everything happen. He was quick to respond and be there from the very beginning of the booking process to the last song of the night. Worth every cent plus more! Love these guys! I wish I could do it all over again.The Plaids played at our wedding back in September and there are just no words.....but amazing. All of the guys were professional but so fun.

Ours wasn't a wedding, but a 50th birthday party. These guys were great. The had a great playlist of the 80s, but they have many other types of music to play. They were extremely fun and very professional. Our emails before the event were always answered quickly. I honestly hope they are still playing together when I am 55. I'll have the back!Ours wasn't a wedding, but a 50th birthday party. These guys were great. The had a great playlist of the 80s, but they have many other types of music to play.

These guys are fantastic. From the quick email responses, to their great music, to the flexibility they offer - I definitely give them 5 stars. They traveled from NC to just outside of DC for our party at our home. They originally were going to be playing out in the backyard by the pool under the beautiful stars, but ended up being a 'garage' band while all the party-goers danced the night away in a tent pounded by the torrential downpour that decided to grace us on the day of our special event. They didn't skip a beat, were happy to perform in whatever circumstance, and it ended up being an AWESOME performance with tons of happy dancers! They played all the music we wanted to hear, sounded great (until they let my husband grab the mic and try to sing a song (haha!), and we are STILL the talk of the neighborhood for having such a wonderful party.These guys are fantastic.

I first heard The Plaids at a wedding show in Winston Salem. They were awesome!!! I knew I had to have them at my wedding. We ended having a small wedding and Steve worked with us to come and DJ for a few hours. We compiled a very detailed song list and he found every song! Music is a very important part and Steve delivered....5 Stars all day. Thanks again Steve. People are still talking about our wedding :)I first heard The Plaids at a wedding show in Winston Salem.
