We are having our wedding at Addison Park in August 2014. I really wanted to have Voices with Angelo Venuto but they were booked for our wedding. We are going to see The Infernos and Live Wire Entertainment and was wondering if anyone had any reviews of either bands or any recommendations. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    We used Oasis and they were AMAZING!! I cannot recommend them enough. They were spectacular the day of the wedding and great to work with ahead of time. They do live showcases so that you can go and hear them play.

    I've never seen The Infernos at a wedding, but they have performed at other events I've been to (mostly Race for the Cure events in north Jersey). They have tons of energy to get people up on the dancefloor.

    Unfortunately a band wasn't in our budget but before we figured this out, we were trying to decide between the Infernos and the Rhythm Shop.  Both are incredible!

    @JerseyAKL Thanks for the recommendation! I just added them to my list I'm going to go see them in a live showcase! I think it's going to be a tough decision all three bands sound great!

    @Cookie Pusher Thanks for the recommendation! My fiance and I are looking forward to hearing them play live at a wedding this Saturday!!!!

    @Giaspo Thanks for the recommendation! We are going to see The Infernos play this Saturday at a wedding! I'm so excited to hear them play; they are my top choice as of now!

    Look at Time Machine.  An excellent band that is available in a few different sizes and configurations depending on taste and budget.

    We booked The Silk Band, a sister band of Time Machine. They are amazing!!! They're playing a bridal show at Crystal Springs the last Sunday in January!

    We booked Mission Dance. My fiance's younger sister had them at her wedding this past fall. They are phenomenal!

    @JerseyAKL Thanks so much for the recommendation! My fiance and I went to a showcase last night for Oasis. They were amazing!!! I have one more showcase to go to and then were going to make a decision. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for them? Also did you go with the whole band? Thanks!

    I am so glad you liked them! They are a great group of artists and this is not a side gig for them; it is what they do for a living. The band itself has been around for more than 20 years (obviously not the same people). We paid $6k and they threw in a piano player for cocktail hour. We had the full band. At first we were a bit hesitant to allocate such a big chunk of the budget to the band, but it made a HUGE difference. They really made the reception.

    It was such a tough choice but we decided to go with Live Wire Band! They are incredible! Chantele and Jimmy are amazing on vocals! The sax player is so talented too! Can't wait till they play at our wedding!

    Has anyone seen the Russ Bennett Band (Hank Lane) live? We are seriously considering them, but would love to hear any feedback before booking! I have read the reviews and they all seem quite positive, but hearing it live from one of you here is always more reassuring :)
