This band is a MUST pick. Not only did they have the dance floor filled for every song, but they were amazing and so easy to work with and helped create the perfect plan for the night. Everyone loved the band. Every song was a hit. They got the crowd going. From first song to last song to the rockin' encore, we loved every minute and had the night of our lives.

From the first time we spoke with Jeff, we were confident that we wanted Men in Black at our wedding. He is professional, laid back, and thorough. It is obvious that he loves what he does! When I say these guys ROCKED the wedding I am not exaggerating. We have gotten countless comments following the event such as "most fun wedding I have ever been to" and "most fun I have ever had on the dance floor." In addition to the music for the reception, we also had a guitarist play at cocktail hour, and that was a huge hit as well. Writing a review simply can't do justice to just how much this band enhanced our wedding day. 10/10 recommend!

Men in Black is the absolute best wedding band! Jeff promised a full dance floor all night and they absolutely delivered. Guests have been raving about the band and asking for their set list from the night. They went above and beyond to make sure we could be ready to go for the ceremony and reception and everything sounded perfect!

I can promise you that Men In Black is the single best band that you can hire to play your wedding. Seriously, there's no need to look further. When we had to reschedule our event due to COVID we literally planned the new date of our wedding to accommodate their availability - that's how awesome they are. Jeff and the rest of the band are true professionals - they are incredibly responsive, friendly, and accommodating. And, of course, they freaking ROCK.
I mean, they really, really rock. The dance floor was packed all night and people have been coming up to us non-stop after our wedding to tell us much fun they had. I promise you won't regret hiring Men in Black - they're the best wedding band I've ever seen and I was beyond thrilled to have them play at our wedding and I promise you will be too.

Men in Black was nothing short of amazing. We moved our wedding date and moved our wedding location last minute and they were incredible to work with. We had people dancing BEFORE dinner from the second they walked in until they left. Men in Black was the reason our wedding was perfect. Every single wedding guest was raving about them and asking about how we found them and wanting to use them for their own events! I HIGHLY recommend them - you will not regret it. They are nothing but the best.

The Men in Black band were absolutely amazing at our wedding. They worked with us to add in the Anniversary Dance during the salad course and a custom reception exit. In addition, they brought the entire wedding party on stage for 15-20 min to dance and gave Eric and I a hilarious tambourine/cow bell solo, all while the rest of the crowd had a dance off right in front of the stage! The tables were empty, every song was a banger, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with, couldn't have asked for anything better!

My wife and I got married on Sat, 8/31 up in Wolfboro, NH and had the pleasure of Men in Black performing at our reception. We had read and heard great things, but were even more blown away with how great they were. From working with us prior to build the best set list, to Jeff being a great MC the whole night, we could not recommend them more. The dance floor was filled all night and all of the comments from our guests were how great the music was. If you need a great band at your wedding, please get Men in Black there!
