    Best Band Ever!

    My venue had given us a list of preferred vendors, and Velocity's management company (ACA Entertainment) was on the list. They gave me a few band options, and from the brief snippet I read and the 3 minute video I saw about Velocity, I just felt like they would be a perfect fit for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, ACA was incredibly easy to work with - they were incredibly responsive, answering my many questions, and quick to offer me options and resolve any issues I may have had. On the wedding day, Jason (band leader of Velocity) was amazing - the set-up of the band was perfect, and he also helped with a mic and speaker for the ceremony and music for the cocktail hour/beginning of the reception! But once the band started playing during the reception - I cannot tell you how absolutely blown away I was (as well as all of our guests!). Velocity is truly the most talented band I've ever seen perform at a wedding - each band member was so incredibly talented and shined in their own ways throughout each set. They all absolutely brought the energy and played off of what our guests were loving. They also took a request of ours and them playing that song became one of our wedding highlights. Since the wedding, SO many of our guests have commented on how amazing Velocity was at the wedding. I really couldn't have asked for a better band to perform at our wedding, and will be singing their praises forever!

    Kept people on the floor the whole time

    Velocity were absolutely perfect. They played the room expertly and had folks on the dance floor from the first song until they wrapped up after 11pm. Absolutely killed everything from swing to rock to power ballads. Only thing I could have wished for was that the played boring songs during their breaks so I could have sat down and let my feet recover

    Great band!

    Our only disappointment was when we had to pack it in for the night. We weren't ready for it to end. Thanks for making the dreams of our special occasion a reality!

    Awesome Wedding Reception Band!

    I hired the band, Velocity, for my daughter's wedding held at The Pfister. We wanted a band that could play funk, current, rock and roll, country and some oldies. They did just that and more! Velocity had the dance floor jammed packed all night and our guests had a blast. I upgraded to the "Ultimate Bundle Package" which provided lots of extras including cocktail hour music, an Emcee to announce the wedding party, toasts, and background music during the seated dinner. You get what you pay for, and Velocity is very affordable and worth every penny for a fun and memorable occasion.

    Easily the best money we spent on our wedding

    Booking Velocity was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. They were very professional in their communications with us before the wedding and answered all of our questions. They even learned three new songs for us! We had a single musician for our ceremony, who played guitar, a trio for cocktail hour, and a 7-piece band with two singers (one male, one female) for our reception. The band was incredibly high energy, had a huge depth and breadth of musical choices, and required almost no direction from us to know what our guests would like to dance to. Having a male and female singer gave them a huge number of songs in their range and both of them are phenomenal singers. The band created a sound that absolutely filled the venue and made everyone feel like dancing! The dance floor was still completely full at midnight when we had to shut it down for the night, so we considered it a wild success! We would recommend them completely to any couple looking for live music at their wedding - worth every cent!

    Velocity MADE the wedding reception!!! 50 year old guys, who typically don't dance, were cutting the rug. Thank you for a memorable night!!! Julie Connor (Mother of Groom)

    ridiculously good

    Our wedding was great and all, pretty dress, beautiful decor, all that stuff, but I don't think anyone in attendance remembers ANYTHING except for the band. Seriously, my husband's godmother had to be physically removed from the venue by her husband because they needed to leave and she couldn't stop rocking out. My little nephew was so inspired that he actually thought he invented the air guitar. Velocity kept the evening flowing, kept the energy pumping, and could not possibly have been more fun. The planning leading up to the event was professional and easy as well. My husband and I are seriously considering getting a divorce just so we can have another wedding with this band.

    If this band is still available - book it now!!

    Velocity was more than a perfect band for our wedding ceremony and reception! They knew how to get the dance floor moving and the dancing did not stop all night with our over 250 guests! The ceremony songs were beautiful and they worked with us (mainly me due to a case of bridezilla) to ensure our ceremony and reception would be exactly as we hoped for. Our venue for our ceremony and reception was Turner Hall and Velocity was the perfect fit for it. To top how awesome this band is I requested a last minute song "Scenes from an italian restaurant" as a surprise to my husband - this song is over 10 minutes long and they had never played it before but Matt said "we will try and learn it for you!" and learn it they did! They killed it! We see them at Summer Fest every year as well!

    Best wedding band around

    These guys are pros. Brought the house down. Very accommodating and everyone raves about them- we still get compliments on having a stellar band 6 months later.

    The entire experience of working with Velocity was wonderful from beginning to end. Booking was easy, and the planning leading up to the wedding was a breeze. Working with Matt really put my mind at ease. We exchanged several emails and then met in person a few weeks before to go through all the details and itinerary. On the day of the event, they were nothing short of incredible. They set up, played a flawless set, and kept the dance floor packed all night. The set was absolutely perfect. We loved every second, and our guests continue to rave about the band and vocalists, months after the wedding. Seriously guys, Velocity is great, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

    Velocity was amazing! We had a full dance floor from when the band went on at 0730 to when they ended at midnight. We also added the DJ service which was incredibly helpful, kept us from having to worry about who was going to take care of music during the breaks and what we were going to play, would absolutely recommend. I would 100% recommend Velocity to anyone looking for a fantastic variety band for their event.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE. Outstanding band. My guests danced all night and were begging for “one more song”. The dance floor was literally always full. We received so many compliments on Velocity. We also got awesome uplighting and instrumentals for during dinner. Worth every penny. Highly recommended!

    If you are looking for a band that will get a crowd dancing and is very talented, I would strongly recommend Velocity. Velocity was nothing short of amazing! The dance floor was occupied at all times and people are still calling us asking "What was the name of your wedding band again?". We have gotten so many compliments on the band!

    Being the Bride I was worried that I wouldn't get to fully enjoy the dancing part of the night, since I would be busy talking to everyone, however, Velocity had enough people on the dance floor that I could make my rounds and chat and dance at the same time. I literally danced the sole right off of one of my shoes that night.

    The music was absolutely incredible. It was everything we imagined/wanted and more for our wedding. We had so much fun and would definitely hire them again. I cannot say enough about Velocity, they will not disappoint!

    Velocity exceeded my wildest expectations. Really great musicians that impressed all of our guests. A great value, I didn't think we'd be able to afford such a large (and talented) band for so little.

    We hired Velocity for our wedding last weekend at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Matt Anton was responsive and helpful throughout our interactions, and he provided good suggestions and honest answers. For the ceremony, we had saxophone, piano, and guitar and chose four songs to be spread out for the processional. I can't tell you how perfect there arrangements sounded. The saxophone as the lead was soulful and gorgeous on Etta James's "Sunday Kind of Love," Otis Redding's "That's How Strong My Love Is," Sam Cooke's "Nothing Can Change This Love," and the Beatles's "Something." It was exactly as I dreamed it would be, if not better. They nailed it.

    For the reception, we had an eleven piece band complete with horns. The musicians were incredibly tight, fed off the crowd, read the crowd well, and each musician had shining moments throughout the evening. We had four singers, and all were phenomenal. The band delivered a raucous version of the Hora and got the entire room on their feet. Other highlights included "Into the Mystic," "Tennessee Whiskey," "Don't Stop Believing," "American Girl," "Sweet Child of Mine," and "Shout." Matt made sure to play our chosen entrance song and first dance songs, and he was concise and helpful in his announcements. I had many many friends and family members come up to me to praise the band. One friend had been to 66 weddings in the past five years, across the country, and said this was the best wedding band he'd ever seen.

    Hats off to you all -- we are recommending you to anyone who will listen.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH -- you helped make our wedding into (what our friends are calling) the wedding of the decade.

    Velocity was our wedding band and they were truly incredible! Our guests never left the dance floor and we received so many compliments! They absolutely perfected our night! We also had a jazz trio for dinner service and I loved them so much- it was the most surreal backdrop to the evening. I cannot say enough good things about this band and company!

    If you have one thing that will make or break your wedding it is the music selection and you CAN NOT go wrong with booking Velocity for your wedding band. They were the absolute greatest from start to finish. Very prompt with communication and they offer the whole package at a very competitive and reasonably priced rate. We booked them off of previous reviews from wedding websites and boy did it pay off ten fold. The dance floor was PACKED from start to finish even with an open bar far from the dance floor. Our wedding night was the most magical evening and we received an uncountable number of comments about how fabulous and on point our band was! So if you are looking for an awesome, energetic, fun band - don't look any further Velocity is the right choice!

    These guys are UNBELIEVABLE. I was so nervous as I wasn't able to see them perform but they absolutely exceeded my high expectation. Seriously, that is all anyone is talking about from our wedding-the band! From the moment they walked on stage, people filled the dance floor and they didn't leave until the very last song. They covered songs I never thought they would be able to, and were so flexible and accommodating with my less than traditional scheduled. We decided to book them for an extra hour and I wish I would've booked them 3 more. None of the cliche wedding music from these guys. Thanks Velocity for making my wedding band dreams come true!
