Booking Faze4, Alex Gold Band, was the best decision we made for our wedding! Our biggest wish for our wedding was for our guests to have fun and I can confidently say this wish was granted thanks to Faze 4, Alex Gold band! They were absolutely INCREDIBLE. 6+ months later our guests are still talking about how amazing they were, and my mom still can't get over the fact "we had a concert at our wedding." Dancing didn't stop the entire night because Alex Gold Band never allowed for a dull moment, and I still get chills thinking about one of their members singing our wedding song Beyond by Leon Bridges- it was perfect.

I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! Bob at Faze4 was incredible helping coordinate and book everything. He was a pleasure to work with. We booked Alex Gold Band without ever seeing them perform in person due to covid but it was seriously the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. -Erin & Nick

I could not recommend Faze 4 Orchestras enough. They performed at my wedding and stole the night. We spent all this money on the venue, food, flowers, the hotel, etc and all I heard about the night of and since then was the band. Not only being talented, Bob and the rest of the crew were incredibly professional, accomodating, and went so far out of their way to make our night special. We were extremely lucky to have found them and they should be your first stop after getting engaged.

Sound Image MADE our wedding. From the moment they started playing music for the procession down aisle to the very last song of the night, our guests were captivated by how amazing the band sounded. They were interactive with our guests on the dance floor, even letting the groom in on the action on the mic and one of my friends play the tambourine.

They continued with the hits and played songs from A Star is born during dinner hour, which my mom exclaimed was "like being at a concert." All my guests could not stop raving about how great they were, and were sore the next day from dancing so hard. Thanks for making our wedding such a night to remember! - Jenna and Ian

We have nothing but supremely positive things to say about the Michael Kane Band. You should definitely choose this band for your event. To put in context, we are both musicians, and have many family members that are professional musicians (who were in attendance). The consensus amongst all was that the band was absolutely incredible. To start, we wrote our own arrangements of the music for our ceremony, which was played perfectly by the pianist and flutist. Michael was very professional and reached out before the event to go through it with us and ensure that it was played as intended, including the proper timing, etc.

For the reception, the energy that the band brought was unparalleled, and they kept the same level of energy through the entirety of the event. The wedding was only as incredible and fun as it was because of this talented group. The band is well-rounded, producing a vibrant, full sound, and there is no single weak link in this group - they are all equally phenomenal.

We picked a beautiful venue known for its food and have a group that would've danced to nearly anything and, in spite of that, the band was the highlight of the night for everyone in attendance. Look no further than this group, you will not regret it.

From the beginning, Faze 4 Orchestras was so great to work with. From the initial visit they were so helpful in choosing which bands were right for us and what we were looking for for our wedding. Originally, we were scheduled to have a big wedding in June of 2020, for which we had booked Sound Image. This was not an easy choice as ALL of the bands were really great!

We all know though that 2020 was not an ideal year for weddings and unfortunately we had to postpone. We were hopeful that we would be able to have our dream wedding in November and reached out to Faze 4 for rescheduling. While they were so great in working with us for this change, the original band was no longer available on our new date. We ended up rebooking our new date with a different Faze 4 Band that we were also previously interested in, Metropolis. Unfortunately, we have since chosen to cancel our November wedding as well, currently without a postponement date. We hope to celebrate down the line though and will definitely be contacting Faze 4 for music whenever we can have the celebration we had hoped for.

Bob and the Original Faze 4 band ROCKED my wedding night! I cannot say more amazing things about Bob/Faze 4/The original Faze 4! There are truly no words to describe how amazing they are! Bob and his band made sure it was the most incredible night of our lives and succeeded! Bob and his band are so professional, talented and are the best in the business.

Before our wedding, Bob had the patience to guide us with our music choices and listen to what we wanted while still giving his professional guidance. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and if I could do it all again, I would pick Bob and his band a million times over! The dance floor rocked the ENTIRE night. My husband and I had some concerns about the party ending at 1:30am but with every song they played, the night just kept getting better and songs kept on rocking!

The music was so vibrant, the energy was so electric, and the vocals were so vibrant! The next day we got so many calls from our guests with the following comments: "That was the best wedding band I have ever heard.", "The energy on the dance floor was going on all night!", "Best wedding I have ever been to!" The wedding band is such an important and key part to a wedding.

If you are a bride or groom reading this, do not even hesitate to book with Bob. Grab one of the Faze 4 bands before someone else does! You will not be sorry! Thank you to Bob and the Original Faze 4 band for the most incredible night of our lives! We love you!

Bob and the Original Faze 4 Band were absolutely incredible at our wedding! From the beginning planning stages Bob led us through all of the details and directed us as to the best way our night should flow. He was 100% correct in all of his advise and our wedding would not have been the same without him! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and did not stop raving about the band afterwards. Thank you Bob and the Original Faze 4 for making our wedding even better than we could've imagined!

Bob Foreman and the Original Faze 4 Orchestra will provide you with the best entertainment on earth. From start to finish of my daughter's wedding Saturday night, the music quality was astounding and the crowd was on their feet. The sound level is perfect and no one complains that the music is too loud and you can actually talk to someone without yelling.

A pounding DJ is no substitute. The Faze 4 musicians are so good that you think you are listing to the original recording. Bob is absolutely the best host and the most accommodating band leader I have ever seen. He will deliver everything you ask and more. If you need music, you better get Faze 4!

Faze 4 is fantastic! After meeting with Bob, we knew that we needed Faze 4 for our wedding. They traveled to Washington, DC for our January wedding at the Cosmos Club. Bob was very attentive and offered great advice throughout the process. Even more importantly, the music that they played was perfect! The dance floor was packed the entire time, and our guests are still raving about how incredible the band was.

Bob and Original Faze 4 band just played at my wedding and made the night absolutely amazing. My wedding would not have been the same without Faze 4. From the moment we entered the ballroom they had the party up and dancing throughout the entire night. They absolutely crushed our first dance song and entrance song, my husband and I were in awe of how great they sounded!

They played a great mix of songs and everyone was in love with the songs they played. The band itself was incredible and sounded amazing no matter what song they played. They interacted with the crowd which everyone loved and made it even more fun. Bob was easy to work with and an amazing MC at the wedding transitioning easily between dance music and speeches.

Everyone came up to me during the party and said it was the best band they ever heard, and people have continuously been texting and calling since the wedding to tell me how amazing the band was. I 100% reccommend Faze 4, they are professional and honest and made the planning process so easy. They will give you the most memorable night of your life!

We got married in March at Temple Emanu-El and the Original Faze 4 Band rocked the house (of worship)! We had never been to a wedding where we were blown away by the band, so we started asking around for recommendations. We met with Hank Lane per our venue's recommendation, but we felt like they were playing sales tricks on us and they wouldn't let us watch the band's demo outside of their office.

A friend recommended the Original Faze 4 and we decided to give them a shot! We liked them because they seemed genuine and we could watch the band's 30-minute demo whenever we wanted at home. The Original Faze 4 met all our expectations and then some. They really kept our guests dancing throughout the entire wedding and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had (4 months later) - and have asked us for their name!

The band happily learned a Yiddish song for our grandmother and were willing to omit certain artists we didn't like, no questions asked. We had some unusual requests for our ceremony and they were willing to accommodate them after some back and forth. The band leader, Bob, was also much easier to deal with than some competitors and it was his disposition that swayed our decision.

While it is a business, Bob is a member of the band, so his goal is for the wedding to be amazing musically, rather than trying to just make money, which we really appreciated. I (the bride) had an unusual request for when I walked down the aisle but I didn't know exactly how it would sound. Bob told me to look on YouTube to see how it would sound on strings.

I liked it so much, I basically listened to it every day leading up to the wedding. The best part was that it sounded even more fantastic live. He also advised us on the acoustics during the ceremony. Faze 4's soul, musical talent, and accommodation to our requests made this band arguably the best decision of our wedding as it truly made our wedding so much fun and unforgettable. They are a classy and fantastic band.

We used Sound Image for our 12.31.18 wedding at the Smoke Rise Village Inn. Carmine and his band were truly amazing and had our guests on the dance floor the entire night. I had seen Sound Image two other times so there was no doubt who I was going to hire for my wedding. Even though I knew what to expect, Sound Image surpassed my lofty expectations.

My wife and I wanted a "party band" for our New Year's wedding and Sound Image delivered in spades. Multiple guests couldn't stop raving about how this was the best band they'd ever seen at a wedding. Do yourself a favor and save time and effort by stopping your search here and calling them. Job well done!

We cannot express enough how amazing this band sounded and the positive energy they provided at our son's wedding this past Friday night. Alex Gold and his band were outstanding. Everyone felt this energy and had to dance. Paul and Alex are the nicest, sweetest and most talented musicians we have ever encountered at any wedding or event. They were an 8 piece band and they were all amazing. They kept the party going strong and all our friends and family loved them. Thank you all for that magical night!

My boyfriend at the time / now husband first heard Metropolis at a friend's wedding in August 2014. They were absolutely incredible. From then on, we knew we had to have them at our wedding one day. The day after we got engaged we contacted Faze 4 Orchestras. Bob contacted us quickly and was professional, informative, and great to work with. He was thrilled we had seen them at an event before and was so glad another couple recommended them to us.

We booked Metropolis almost instantaneously after a meeting in their NYC office. Cut to our wedding day. Mingo and the guys/gals were unbelievable! Every single person was dancing (even 80/90-year olds!), which is just what we wanted! They played the perfect combination of today's hits paired with the classics. They even learned two songs for us (our wedding song and another crazy party song).

Everyone went WILD! We've gotten so many compliments on Metropolis with the feedback being they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. They were such a memorable and incredible addition to our wedding, and I am so thrilled they were able to perform for us. If you're considering booking Metropolis, do it. They are, without a doubt, the best money you can spend on your wedding day! Thank you Bob, Mingo, et al!

Sound Image was the band we used at my daughter's wedding on June 3, 2017 at Russo's on the Bay. They say that the band and the food make your wedding and that is soooo true. Sound Image was amazing. The dance floor was packed all night and people were constantly telling me how great they were. I had someone tell me their husband was a music snob and he asked for their card at the end of the night.

I couldn't have been happier and neither could my daughter and son-in-law. Their friends were raving and said they would be talking about their wedding for years to come. Thank you Sound Image for making the music end of the evening so incredible. A special shout out to Bob for coordinating everything and for always getting back to me so promptly when I had a question. What an excellent evening.

We used Faze 4 at our wedding. We heard Sound Image at another wedding & we needed them at our's too! When we originally met with Faze Four, we listened to other bands since Sound Image was a little over our budget. Although we would have been able to remove 2 band members to save money, everyone was just so great we wound up keeping the whole 9 members.

At our wedding, we kept getting compliments on the band, everyone LOVED them! We didn't give them 4 or 5 stars because although we went through the whole process of telling Faze 4 what we did & didn't want played, Sound Image probably only performed about 50% (if that!) of what we asked for. Also, for our 1st dance, we also decided that half way through, everyone would join in (we aren't the best dancers at all!), which didn't happen.

With that being said, we felt like all the time we spent coordinating with Faze 4 was a waste and for the amount we paid, I think we should have been able to pick what songs we wanted played at our wedding. Luckily for us, most songs we didn't ask for were played towards the end of the wedding so everyone was in a state to enjoy anything & Sound Image was so good that really it didn't make a difference because they sounded great regardless. Would definitely recommend Faze 4 & Sound Image if you want an amazing party, but don't expect a set list you took the time to make.

This company, Faze 4, also known as faze 4 band, also known as faze 4 orchestra, is based in Great Neck New York but also have an offIce at 149 Madison Ave., New York. That is where I met with this company to contract for a band to play at a wedding. I was told all of the people on the DVD will be at the wedding. this did not occur. In fact I was told "what you see is what you get". Well, the day before the wedding I was told that the main vocalist, the very best singer in the band, would not be there. Unbelievable!

He was not sick and there was no death in the family. he simply chose to be at another gig! This arbitrary and whimsical decision resulted in the band playing at the wedding being grossly suboptimal with the substitute who was hastily arranged being a regular singer with a Russian band at a dive nightclub in Brighton Beach. Ha ha ha.but I paid over $20,000 for this band.

What could I possibly do the day before the wedding.play the radio? The band leader defensively said but it was a great wedding. But it was not! This wedding cost me a shitload of money but this band members and the boss did not feel it was important enough for them to appear as I was promised. To top it off, listen to this!.the bandleader then asked his friends to write phony reviews on different websites including Wedding Wire and The Knot so that they would push my negative review down on the list! Did you ever hear of such a bizarre and creepy plot?

This guy is just such a knavish creature. I post this so that others may be aware of this scam! I have proof of all of these allegations good luck in planning your wedding. As always, Buyer beware!

I used Scott Yanney for my wedding band through Faze 4, at the Village Club at Lake Success - we can't thank them enough for keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long! We had an absolute blast, and they made sure the crowd did too. We've already been asked by so many people who our band was - they were amazing and I highly recommend them if they aren't already booked for your event!

My wife and I got married January 7, 2017 and Faze 4 Orchestras performed at our wedding. They were incredible and truly made the night even better than we could have imagined. There was a snowstorm on the day of our wedding. Nonetheless, the band showed up on time and ready to perform. They were true professionals. Bob, the bandleader, read the crowd perfectly and played all the right songs to keep the dance floor packed all evening. Many of our guests told us after the event that this was the best wedding band they have ever heard. I cannot recommend Faze 4 more highly. They were worth every penny!

We used True Blue at our wedding on June 27th, 2015 and they were absolutely amazing! Super talented and such a pleasure to work with. Bob was available at all times to answer our questions and work with us to ensure the music would be exactly what we wanted in the weeks leading up to our wedding. We were dancing all night and our friends and family cannot stop talking about how amazing our band was.

The band is so talented and really nailed our favorite songs! From Van Morrison to Beyonce, they did it all! We would recommend this band to anyone and everyone who wants a party filled with great music and dancing guests!

We hired both Stephen Bard and DJ Formal for our party. All is can say is WOW. Stephen Bard was absolutely incredible. He played the guitar and sang. Our guests were closing their eyes and pretending they were at the person who sings the original song's concert. Each song flowed into the next and each was stellar. He ran out of business cards so many people asked him for his information at the end of the night I also can't recommend DJ Formal enough. DJ Formal switched off with Stephen towards the beginning of the party and then played again towards the end.

It was the perfect mix of live and DJed music. He was professional, came with all his own top quality equipment, and knew exactly what to play to get the crowd on their feet. That was NOT an easy task as the crowd was split between ages groups of 45-60 and 19-23. Every song was on point with what we wanted to hear. Before the party he asked all the right questions about how we wanted the party to go, and that's what he did. If you want guaranteed quality- both Stephen and Jesse are your guys. Music can make or break the party. These two will help bring it above and beyond.

If you want a great time go a wedding Faze 4 Orchestras is performing at. Once again and as always they had everyone up and dancing all night at Temple Israel this past Saturday Night. Its like the actual artists themselves are there. The only negative is your feet will hurt the day after from dancing so much.

Editing this review to reflect the experience, at the justified request (albeit four years later.) of a member of the Christopher Michaels band. Editing the review for clarity and bringing it down to one star for having to think about how pissed off I was at being treated like a prince before the check cleared, and a schmuck after they had my money.

Original review edited: "I have to say first off that we had three different bands - a classical trio, a jazz keyboardist, and the Christopher Michaels Band. The Christopher Michaels Band was amazing. Great energy, great selection. Have never heard cries of "Encore!" for a wedding band before ours. Great Job. However, my bride and I had very specific requests for faze 4 and the classical trio that played the ceremony, including the songs we wanted them to play as we were each walking down the aisle.

We had chosen a song that meant a tremendous amount to us, a very delicate and beautiful song, to be played as she walked down the aisle. She cried when I suggested it. We went through several iterations with the owner of faze 4 (bob), including him telling us that we had to find sheet music for the songs we wanted the bands to play (well-known pop songs).

How do you tell the client that's paying you north of $10 grand that they are responsible for finding music for you, the band? They ultimately found it (or we did, I forget which), but it was much more of a hassle than it should have been. The worst part is, though, that after all this back and forth, the trio PLAYED THE WRONG DAMN SONG WHEN MY WIFE WALKED DOWN THE AISLE.

We had it in writing, we confirmed 8 times with bob the owner (during the whole "Hey go find us the music, we don't do that, we're just a professional band" process). So instead of thinking about her, and she thinking about me, during the ONE time in our lives we walk down the aisle to be married, each of us was thinking "WTF, this is the wrong song." I asked bob for an explanation afterward, and never heard from him.

I guess the "one time use" model applies here, as it does with most wedding vendors. I know the reception band was good, but given the entirety of their lineup and the screwup of the classical trip, I'd rather have the right song played poorly, than the wrong song played well." As long as I'm editing this, I'll mention that bob emailed me after the fact, quite indignant that I would leave him a negative review. The idea that he'd been content to ignore me until I went public speaks volumes.

Faze 4 True Blue are AMAZING! We loved them, all of our friends and our parents' friends loved them, as did our families. My wedding was on a Monday night, and they created a Saturday night energy. The dance floor was packed the entire night! 4 of my friends (from different circles) had recommended them, so it was an easy decision for us. We heard them and booked them immediately.

They are professional and know how to entertain the crowd. We also had a string trio for our ceremony and a keyboard player at the cocktail hour. (all hired from Faze 4). All excellent. If you are looking for a band- you will be thrilled you hired them!

Between planning my own wedding and the dozen or so I go to each year I definitely know weddings. Katherine Heigel in 27 dresses has nothing on me.:) If there's 1 thing you're going to spend money on it should be the band.a good band makes all the difference. And a bad band can make things go sour pretty quickly as well. Fortunately for the wedding I attended this weekend, Scott Yanney Band (which apparently is one of the featured bands of Faze 4 entertainment) is one of the good ones.

They had everyone on the dance floor within seconds (then again, they had a fun crowd to work with- my new family!) and we didn't stop shaking our booties all night long. I've got the blisters on my feet to prove it!
