Around Town is INCREDIBLE!!! They brought the BEST energy and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. So many of our guests told us afterward that the band was one of their favorite parts of the entire wedding. They absolutely crushed it! Also, throughout the entire planning process, communication with Adam was easy, enjoyable, and impressively fast. We were blown away from our first call with Adam to the last song of the night.

Around Town was truly incredible! Their organization and planning process make it seamless. They never made me feel like I had a dumb question and were extremely organized. They were beyond incredible during our wedding and we got compliments all night and people reaching out to us for the name of our band afterwards. The dance floor was packed all night because they played only bangers and sound amazing. It was extremely appreciative of the subtle ways the band leader checked in with us throughout the night as well. They nailed the vibe we were looking and hoping for. Nothing beats live music and they are above and beyond the best of the best. Anyone would be lucky to have them celebrate with you all night!

We had Around Town Band play at our wedding, and they were truly incredible and had a very affordable price (especially compared to some of the other bands we had been looking at). Around Town Band is so talented and high-energy, and they had our wedding guests up and dancing the entire time. From the moment dancing started and throughout the entire night the dance floor was continually packed. The quality of the music was outstanding (we had an 8 piece band at the reception, jazz trio at cocktail hour, and piano player during the ceremony). Throughout the night they played an excellent variety of songs, and I think they did a great job playing a lot of the songs we highlighted that we said we would especially like to hear. They are also willing to learn new songs for special moments, like your first dance, father/daughter dance, etc. In advance of the wedding, they will work closely with you to make sure that everything is prepared and ready to go. The band leader, Adam, was also especially impressive at MC'ing and was able to seamlessly work with our wedding coordinator to make sure the run of show went smoothly. Communication with Adam was always smooth - he was super fast and responsive whenever we had questions. And most importantly, him and his band brought fantastic energy to our wedding--they are such talented musicians, and they made the entire night unforgettable. After our wedding we had multiple guests tell us that they are the best wedding band they had ever heard, and we 100% agree! We could not recommend Around Town Band enough, and we are so thrilled that they played at our wedding! During our wedding planning process I was very stressed about choosing a band (the quality of the music and energy of the band can really make or break a wedding), and I feel like we truly could not have chosen a better band to play at our wedding!

WOW — we are still on cloud nine after our wedding, and a huge part of that is thanks to Around Town Band! They were unbelievable. From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room was electric — they had every single guest on their feet dancing, singing, and having the time of their lives. We’ve had SO many people tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and the band was a huge reason why! Their talent, energy, and professionalism were next-level. They absolutely nailed every single moment, from our first dance to the final song of the night. You can tell they love what they do — and it shows in every note. If you’re thinking about booking them… do it. Seriously. It was one of the best decisions we made, and we’ll be talking about them for years to come. THANK YOU, Around Town Band, for making our wedding epic!!

Our wedding was in September 2024. We had a VERY diverse crowd and we wanted different types of music to be played. Aroundtown accomplished this splendidly - Adam as the MC kept the show going and him and his team gave their all in talent to give the best performances keeping our eclectic crowd on the dance floor all night. They kept to our intricate timeline making sure our most special moments are done exactly as requested. Their lead female singer has the voice of a diva! As requested they included our favorite Spanish songs too and fulfilled our request by learning and singing a lesser-known oldies European hit at our most touching moment! Would definitely highly recommend if you want a truly talented, high-class live event! Our guests were very impressed!

“Music is the most important thing in a celebration. It is also important to know that you are dealing with professionals who share in the excitement of every single event. We help lift the event to its highest level of energy, and create an amazing sophisticated atmosphere”.

Taking your entertainment to the highest level of fun, the live performance of Around Town Entertainment is one that can’t be beat.

1.When most people think of wedding music, they think of DJs, tell us how you offer a unique and special alternative to the traditional

Actually most people seem to want the energy that live music brings to an event. DJ's can bring more of the very 'produced' sounding music. Our live bands focus on bringing an eclectic mix to each event. Not trying to be the typical 'wedding band,' we have all styles of music ranging from the classics to what is current on the radio right now, while infusing our clients' favorites. We focus on sophisticated, yet high energy approach that keeps everyone on the dance floor.

2.In your opinion, is a band best suited for the cocktail hour or reception or both?

I usually like a nice jazz trio for the cocktail hour. It sets a nice tone for the evening, while not interfering with guests’ minglings.

3.Tell us about working in conjunction with other types of entertainment such as a DJ.

We are always happy to provide a DJ, other cultural bands, performers, etc. It is nice to transition from our contemporary band into our client's favorite family music, whether it be Greek music, Latin music, Israeli, etc. DJ's can make a great after party, or they can alternate with us to give our clients the feeling of a 'club atmosphere.'

4.What types of entertainment music do you offer?

We can provide all entertainment for every event. As we are a full entertainment company, we offer live bands, orchestras, DJ/MC, dancers, specialty acts, lighting and full production.

5.Tell us about how you motivate the crowd and keep the party going?

Usually our music creates enough energy and speaks for itself. With powerhouse vocals and amazing musicians, the room is filled with energy and people can't help but to move! We are not the type of band the overdoes the MC'ing. Our philosophy is 'less is more.'

6.Can couple’s customize their song list or do you have a repertoire they need to select from?

Our songlist is over 1000 songs. We can absolute help clients to customize their songlist. If we don't have a particular song on our list, we will learn it and make it perfect for the event.

7.Give us some insight on what a couple should look for when choosing a band.

It is important to look first and foremost at the talent. Make sure you are dealing with the highest level of musicianship. Avoid the large 'factory style' companies who cannot show video or live performances. This usually indicates that they piece the band together as needed.

8.How far in advance should a couple schedule a meeting with you?

We are happy to meet clients anytime they are ready to sit down and discuss entertainment

9.How far in advance should a couple book with you?

We book at least 1 year in advance, so it is important to make sure you have enough time to save the date

10. What do you require for setup and is there anything they should inform the catering hall of?

We always come with a professional sound team. There is very little that we require in the way of set up. Catering Halls should know that we are fully insured.

11. Is this something younger as well as more mature couples can take advantage of, benefit from and have fun with?

Absolutely! We are music for all! Every genre of music will be performed. Some who prefer the classic standards, such as Sinatra, will be thrilled and others who prefer the latest dance hit will be shocked at how current we are.

12.What are some of the most requested songs you can boast you do?

I think I am the most proud of the fact that not only do we already know just about every song in the book, we know the most unusual, obscure songs as well. This thrills our clients who have an eclectic taste in music.

13.What, in your opinion is the developing trend in bands and wedding celebrations.

I think most don't want the 'typical wedding band' with what they call 'tacky' selections. Our clients are intelligent and know great music. So we have to be at the top of our game.

14.Are bands appropriate for both daytime and evening events?

Bands are great for both. People always love amazing music no matter what time of the day.

15.Besides the popular music most of us are familiar with what other types of songs or music do you do?

Every style of music is covered by Around Town.

16.Can you also play requests?

We can always play requests, but we make sure our clients want us to accept requests, as they may have very specific ideas of what they want for their event.

17.Do you do any ethnic songs such as Italian, Irish, or Greek tunes to name a few?

We do all ethnic styles!

18.What can hiring a band add to the wedding celebration?

A band creates the hype and the energy. In my opinion, the band is responsible for making the event the best it can be.

19.Tell us about some of the latest innovations and how you are keeping up with the market trends.

We are always at the forefront of what is current and new to music, song choices, etc.

20.What kind of “sound” is your particular band most noted for?

(Jazz, swing, big band, etc). Our band is most noted first for amazing vocals. As we cover every style, we are known for bringing it all to each event.
