Wedding band in NYC?

January 8, 2009 3:13 PM

Where can someone find customer reviews of reliable wedding musicians in NYC?

We are getting married in September (yay!) but we have to plan everything before then (boo).

I am trying to find a site where people suggest/review bands for our reception. Most sites that list wedding entertainment only display those who have paid for the privilege. I am hoping for something less biased - - like yelp.com for wedding stuff. The closest I have gotten is New York Magazine's suggestions, and they don't give too many of them.

Or, alternatively, have any of you gone to a wedding in the NYC area and seen a wedding band that made you dance your socks off? We are thinking about a classic soul band, but we are open to suggestions.

Please help us!!! We have no idea what we are doing!!

Best answer: The forums at IndieBride.com are filled with NYC brides; ask, and they'll steer you right.

The forums on indiebrides have some reviews of musicians that various folks have used; however, if you have your heart set on a particular style, the handful of postings may be years old and not contain any useful contact information for the musicians.

A lot of people on the site use a DJ to cut down on costs.

Also try theknot.com forums, and don't forget to look in the bride bios/reviews.
