Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 6, 2018•From Santa Barbara, CA

They absolutely made the entire wedding!! I'm convinced that even if I didn't show up the wedding would have still been a hit haha. They made the night so incredible and it made us so happy knowing that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Our night would not have been what it was if we hadn't hired the Straytones! Don't think twice about it, just book them!!! It'll be the best decision you make!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 31, 2016•From Dana Point, CA

We booked the Straytones for our wedding in Dana Point last week and being really unsure on what we wanted or what to expect, were a bit nervous knowing that entertainment can make or break an event! We did not need to worry.. From the responsiveness of Sean with our back and forth communications in the months running up, to the OUSTANDING performance laid on by the entire band we would have no hesitation in recommending the Straytones to anyone and everyone we know. Our guests were up dancing and singing the whole night and I have to give thanks to them all for making the night so great! Thank you Straytones and good luck for the future! Emily and Rogan Egerton

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 5, 2018•From Santa Ynez, CA

These guys were the best. They were on time, professional and extremely entertaining. Having been in the music industry myself I can say I would recommend these guys for any party or event. Everyone commented on how much fun they were and how talented they were as musicians and entertainers. We couldn't have had a better experience at our son's wedding. If I ever have the need to hire a band again they will be my first choice. Thank you Straytones for an extraordinary evening. All the best, Jim Jowett

A FANTASTIC band, they gave our event a really great, fun atmosphere, everyone LOVED dancing to their tunes all night. Their music choices for our wedding were perfect and they were all hugely talented! Book them quick before they realize they've hugely underpriced themselves for the LA market and their massive talent!! ;)

Wedding•Reviewed on June 5, 2016•From San Juan Capistrano, CA

This band was fantastic. Very professional, musically talented, great look to them all and everyone came up to us at our wedding commenting on how good they are. They are great at VG'ing the wedding as well. The venue was at The Villa San Juan Capistrano, which was fitting to their style. Great job!!! Couldn't have asked for a better band.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 11, 2016•From Laguna Beach, CA

They were a fantastic band for our wedding, everyone at our wedding was up and dancing when they started playing. Their unique style and acoustic sound made for an excellent experience. The singers have an amazing voice and sound exactly as the video on gigmasters, what you see is what you get and more! They also played during the cocktail hour and everyone at our wedding commented on how great they were and asked how we find them. We would definitely book them again for any future events where we would need a band to play.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 28, 2016•From El Segundo, CA

The Straytones were as good as we could have ever hoped for. We had 150 people at our wedding and felt like they could have entertained thousands with their energy. We liked their video and song list and after communicating with Sean, knew they were the right choice. Even though the lead singer was unavailable they had a backup who brought it just as strongly. The musicians are very strong and it looked like they had as much fun as the attendees. And the requested songs were played in such a nice style. Thank you so much for being our perfect wedding band! It's been 2 weeks and people are still commenting about it :-)

Wedding•Reviewed on April 28, 2019•From Napa, CA

The Straytones were amazing!! Lots of energy, great sound, very professional. We were looking for a band that would compliment our guests who love to get on the dance floor and dance all night and they definitely were up to that task. They had great music selections and also learned 6 songs of our choosing. They have a wonderful sound with their string instruments. The main singer/MC was energetic and professional. In between sets we added some of our own music through Spotify. Prior to the wedding communication was mainly with Sean. While he does not always respond to emails immediately, he gave good advise and made sure all of our requests were met.

I needed to change vendors last minute for a wedding ceremony, and Sean was so great organizing musicians for me! The songs the violinist and guitarist arranged were so beautifully played and were perfect for the ceremony. I wish I had found the Straytones earlier because they were a much better fit for me and my husband! I have a few friends who are getting married this year and they've all asked me for the band's information so they can book them for their receptions. Can't wait to see you guys again!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 22, 2016•From Long Beach, CA

Two things I knew I wanted after seeing their promo video, the singer and the violinist, they did not disappoint. It was easy for me to have the same band for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were so versatile that people didn't feel they were hearing the same thing over and over again for the different parts of the wedding. It was an added treat that the singer sang during cocktail hour too, he was a hit! My only disappointment was that we had a formal wedding and it would have been nicer if they were dressed more formally but this was an extremely minor point given how happy I am with them.

The Straytones:

Hi Binh-To, Thank you very much for the great review. We are so glad that you and your husband Eric chose The Straytones for your wedding! With regards to the band's attire, we were told in your answers to our questionnaire that the band's typical cocktail attire uniform would be "perfectly fine". The last thing we want is for our clients to feel any level of disappointment, hence our habit of sending every client our detailed questionnaire. The Straytones are more than happy to accommodate any specific attire requirements for any event (formal, rustic, or otherwise), but these requests must be sent to us in advance! Thank you again : )

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 14, 2015•From Thousand Oaks, CA

My husband and I were looking for a dance band that was awesome, dancey & energetic but not too loud. We found the Straytones and immediately knew they were our band! Sean worked famously with us, letting us choose between electric or acoustic and a 3, 4, 5, or 6 person band. Of course, we picked the full 6 person band. First, three of the bandmates played acoustic music during our cocktail hour. The violin was so beautiful that it had some of our guests in tears! And come party time, the full band played the greatest set of songs and had everyone dancing the whole night. We couldn't have made a better choice. Hire this band and don't look back!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 18, 2019•From Running Springs, CA

We had a dream and a vision for our wedding reception. We wanted people to dance, to sing, to have fun and celebrate our friendship as well as us. The Straytones, delivered on the vision. From the first song to the last the dance floor was full. People laughed, danced, and still can't stop talking about how much fun they had. Sean was super responsive and very professional leading up to and day of. If you want your guests to have a great time, not have to worry about anything on the entertainment end, and have a blast yourself, this is the band to book. Forever indebted and thankful to them for making our wedding amazing!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 20, 2019•From Topanga, CA

The Straytones were exceptional, with high praise from our wedding guests (all-night dancers & outside listeners). We were thrilled by song choices outside of lists they sent before, and their willingness to accommodate. They learned 3 songs and we were delighted by excellent interpretations of our first dance and Grace Petrie's 'Northbound' in particular. A former music journo, I have seen many live bands & the bride is a musician too, so it's impressive that the band exceeded expectations. Setlist selection, pace, style & enthusiasm, willingness to gauge the audience & ricochet the energy around the room all made them the perfect choice for us and for our guests.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 23, 2019•From Santa Ynez, CA

The Straytones were absolutely amazing. Not only were they talented musicians, but their ability to read a crowd and keep people on the dance floor is unparalleled. The group was extremely communicative throughout the process leading up to our wedding providing us with a stress free feeling regarding the band and entertainment. The Straytones were very accommodating to special requests and music which helped make our day so wonderful. Totally recommend that the fiddle and mandolin are included in any event. They tailored their style to each portion of the night from cocktail hour, to dinner, to the dancing, all at a fantastic price. 100% would do have them again.

The Straytones were incredible! Sean was so easy to work with. The band sounded so great, and they played the perfect selection of songs. I had hired them for a large corporate event our company was hosting, and I heard so many positive comments from all of our customers and colleagues. I would absolutely hire the Straytones again!
