Best live band ever!!
Vinyl Jam was AWESOME! We hired them to MC the entire night, provide sound for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then perform as an 8-piece live band after dinner, and they crushed the entire event. They were so collaborative with us leading up to the wedding and really listened to what we were looking for. They played all of the songs we requested, brought such great energy to the room, and even invited us up on stage with them for our finale song, which was such a fun way to end the night! Most importantly, they sounded SO good. There were genuinely times you forgot you were listening to a cover because they absolutely crushed the songs. We would highly recommend Vinyl Jam to any couple looking for an amazing live band for their wedding. They were so much fun and made our reception exactly what we hoped it would be!

Amazing talent and seamless experience. Book Them!
We hired Vinyl Jam (specifically Vinyl Project) for our wedding, and it was hands down the best decision we made. The singers were truly world-class and one was even a finalist on The Voice! But beyond the talent, everything ran so smoothly. They coordinated with our planner (she LOVED them), provided an MC, and brought in a beautiful string quartet for our ceremony. Most importantly, they kept the dance floor packed all night. It’s been two months, and our guests are still talking about the band. If you're looking for the best, book them! You won’t regret it.

Insane talent and best band ever!!
We hired Vinyl Jam to provide a pianist for our ceremony, a duo for cocktail hour, and an 8-piece band. They delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. They made our first dance feel truly magical. The talent in this band is unmatched. The vocalists are the incredible, seriously world-class, and the band just rocked it! The energy was amazing! They read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Everyone kept asking us, “Where did you find this band?!” If you’re looking for a high-energy, insanely talented band that will blow your guests away—book Vinyl Jam. You will not regret it!
