Those Guys did an awesome job with our wedding reception. They were professional in all aspects of the event, including planning beforehand and double checking the details. Mike was on top of everything, even when I threw last minute changes at him.
As far as the actual reception, I was blown away with their talent and range of both genres and vocals they were able to it. Nearly half my guests came up to me during or after the reception and noted how impressive they were. I genuinely could not have asked for a better band.

Those Guys were fantastic, I booked well in advance of my wedding and they kept in contact the whole time. Planning a wedding from abroad can be so hard but Mike made this so easy. You were everything we wanted in a wedding band and our guests are still talking about how great you were 2 months on. I also loved the version you played for our first dance song - Lana Del Ray. It was perfect and such a wonderful surprise to hear it this way. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding unforgettable!

Charlotte,
What a lovely time! All of our best always to both of you, and two fantastic families coming together. So happy to hear you enjoyed yourself here, and honored to have been a part of it. Love you guys!

I cannot begin to describe how AMAZING Those Guys were!! From the first conversation we had with Mike, to the last song they played at our wedding, we could not have asked for a better band. They had so many people up and dancing that we couldn't fit everyone on the dance floor and people were dancing in the aisles!
Everything about them was fantastic - they are so polite, professional, and kind. Any request we had, they made happen. A band can really make or break a wedding, and hiring Those Guys is a sure fire way to make your wedding the best. I've never heard so many guests rave about the band!!!
Thank you guys, you made our wedding so memorable and fun :)

Mike and Those Guys far exceeded our expectations at our wedding! We were so excited to walk into our pre-ceremony cocktail hour to see Mike strumming and singing away. Before the ceremony Mike had helped wire our officiant and the sound at our outdoor mountain wedding was perfect. He transitioned each part of the event seamlessly. The band kept people dancing for our reception, and was able to read the crowd and respond accordingly. Working with Mike prior to the wedding was easy and fun and Those Guys absolutely made our wedding perfect.

Those Guys are incredible - we are thrilled we picked them for our wedding. Just trust them - they know exactly what they are doing! People danced the entire night - and wouldn't stop talking about how good the band was!
Mike was a complete pleasure to work with - an absolute professional and one of the nicest guys out there. We had no idea what we were doing - he had several conversations with us to let us know what works and what doesn't for a wedding. And he helped us figure out a timeline of events that was exactly what we wanted.
I can't say enough about how awesome this band is! Fred is the best!

Those guys were AWESOME! I got so many compliments from my guests that they played songs that EVERYONE knew. They took all my requests perfectly, and even last minute let one of my guests get up and since with them. They kept the crowd entertained and were so easy to work with. Plus they are very affordable! Would highly recommend them!

Mike and Those Guys are the best band I could have wanted to play our wedding. Leading up to the big day Mike was very helpful and communicated with us about everything. He worked hard to help us plan everything out, and on the day of was emcee, event coordinator, and musician all in one. The sound was phenomenal and the singing was perfect.
If I ever need to hire another band, Those Guys are my first choice.

Craig!!!! What a blast with your family! Congrats to you and Christine, and thank you again for trusting myself and everyone here at Those Guys Entertainment; the pleasure was ours! Woo-hoo!!!!

Crushed Crushed Crushed it!!!
We had a 5 person ensemble and they did an absolutely amazing job!! Our outdoor ceremony was rained out but they were able to set up in doors in a very short amount of time and rocked it. Our guests loved the music and were dancing all night long.
Could not have asked for a better band.
Thank You!

I mean EVERYONE at the party was talking about THOSE GUYS because they were so amazing! We cannot recommend them enough and if anyone is heisting about hiring Those Guys, there is no need to be they are amazing guys & are nothing short of fantastic. All of the guests were so impressed with the variety of music the guys were able to perform at such high level and kept asking us who the band was. If you are looking for a dynamic band that will bring your party, wedding, gathering to the next level then look no further than THOSE GUYS because you will not be disappointed and neither will your guests!

We could not have been happier with the band "Those Guys"! Mike, the lead singer, was just fantastic throughout the entire process. We had some venue problems and he picked up the phone to contact the wedding planner himself to make sure everything went smooth. Mike, and his band, are honestly true professionals and had everyone up on their feet all night. If you want your wedding to be a dance party, "Those Guys" is the way to go! Thank you again for being amazing!

We could not have been happier after booking with Those Guys, they did such an amazing job at our wedding! We really wanted a band at the wedding instead of a dj, but were also worried people may not dance as much. We had a Sunday afternoon brunch wedding outdoors, so we felt a band would be more appropriate for the setting. Those Guys had everyone up and dancing throughout the whole reception! So many people came up to us after raving about the band and how much they enjoyed them. Mike was so easy to work with from beginning to end. We can't put into words how highly we recommend Mike and Thise Guys! Thank you so much again!

Those Guys were simply incredible. Mike was amazing to work with before and during the event, providing excellent music for the ceremony and the reception. The band's set surpassed our high expectations. People of all generations had a blast on the dance floor all night, literally rocking the barn. Everyone could not stop remarking about how amazing the band and atmosphere were. We cannot possibly describe in words how amazing the night was and what a big part Those Guys played in it.
Book Those Guys now before someone else does!

Right after our wedding, our guests told us how amazing Mike and Those Guys were and we wholeheartedly agree. They know which songs to play to get a crowd dancing and having a good time. Mike communicated well with us prior to the event and the night of. He MC'd the wedding and it is quite clear how talented he is. Those Guys accommodated all of our special requests. We feel very fortunate to have found them for our wedding. Thanks Guys!

Those Guys played for our wedding last night at Waters Edge Resort and Spa, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The band surprised us by learning our first dance song, and it was fantastic! Mike did an incredible job playing at our ceremony and cocktail hour. The band kept the party going all night at the reception! We received many compliments about how great the band was. We would definitely recommend Those Guys for your next event! Truly a pleasure to work with and SO easy going ! Thank you for making everything so easy for us and putting on a fabulous show without a glitch!

We are so happy that we found Those Guys to play at our wedding. They made the whole day flow so smoothly. Before the wedding, we sent them a schedule and the day of all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves! Mike was on top of everything, from our schedule, to the names of people giving toasts, to our requested songs. The day worked out exactly like we pictured and that only happened because of this great band! They all had a great energy and had everyone dancing. Of course, they're also very musically talented. We requested some songs not on their set and they played them beautifully. We highly recommend this band! They're amazing!

We're so thankful & appreciative that we had Those Guys perform at our wedding. To be fair, they did much more than just perform. Prior to the event, they were nothing but professional, taking the time to learn about us & our vision for our wedding & making sure we were at ease going into the big day. They worked well with our other vendors & did a great job keeping us on track with timing, without making us feel rushed. As far as the music, they were amazing! They gauged the crowd well, playing music that really enhanced our party & kept everyone on the dance floor! Our guests even told us how much they enjoyed the band! We would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Those Guys are FANTASTIC! My parents are live music fanatics and wanted to hire one of the many bands they know, but my fiancee and I were adamant that we hire a band rehearsed in doing weddings & though they were not initially happy with our decision, they changed their minds VERY quickly on our wedding day. Those Guys got raving reviews from all of our guests who could not believe that a band we found off a website and hired without hearing live could be so amazing. Mike was in constant communication leading up to the wedding and very quickly responded to every request and inquiry. They are extremely easy to work with and very flexible. I can not recommend enough.

We are so thrilled with our decision to choose Those Guys for our wedding reception! We didn't have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, so it was amazing to have Those Guys to take care of the schedule and flow for the reception. We planned a special entrance, and the band made sure to come out and organize and direct the bridal party. This was great for my husband and I, because we were able to enjoy the moment instead of answer questions and organize throughout the night.
Guests told us it was one of the only weddings they had been to where everyone was dancing! We got so many compliments on the entertainment and had the time of our lives! 5 stars!

Thank YOU Kim, we all had a wonderful time! Your family was great to play for, the honor was ours!!!

Working with Those Guys was a phenomenal experience! From the moment I reached out to Mike to the very end of our wedding- they were the best. Most importantly they saved our wedding! Thunder hit and it blew out all the power right before Those Guys were about to go on! There was barely any panic and they struck up playing our first dance song acoustic with the entire wedding singing along! It was remarkable! The band played on all night, even moved their equipment back under the reception tent to keep people dancing! We would recommend Those Guys to anyone and everyone and look forward to working with them again in the future! Thank you for saving our wedding!

I can't begin to express how pleased we were with the talent, professionalism, humor, attention, energy, and dedication that Mike and the band brought to our wedding. We hosted a black tie wedding for nearly 200 people, and Those Guys won the hearts of literally everybody there. I have never seen a wedding with every single guest crowding the dance floor and having a blast. Those Guys truly made the wedding what it was, with comment after comment from our guests about the excellent music. You can't go wrong with this top notch band! Thank you for everything, Mike!!

First off, Mike is pretty much the most professional and accommodating person I have ever worked with. He went out of his way to make sure every request was met. The band learned our first dance song and did an awesome job! Everyone raved about how amazing the band was, and they kept the party going all night long. Every person was out of their seats dancing and multiple people told me that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. We added on trumpet and keyboard players and I would highly recommend doing this....The sound was just amazing and everyone is SO talented! Hiring Those Guys was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding!!!

I also play in a wedding band. My expectations were high and they exceeded them. I looked at many bands and I knew they were it as soon Mike called me. I had a lot of special requests and they nailed all of them. They handled the sound at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. Mike was so incredible easy to work with and was super accommodating. They sounded amazing. Everyone was dancing their faces off. They also let me sing a song to my wife. I would highly recommend them for any wedding, corporate event, or party. I requested a keyboard player and female vocalist which was a great addition. We can't thank them enough for their everything.

I am beyond thrilled with Those Guys. They played for my wedding sept 2015 and they made the night! Mike was so helpful with song suggestions and timelines. He truly went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. Mike and Those Guys even went as far as to include my father and older brother in the band for my our first dance to make the song extra special. I truly can not say enough good things about this band and I am recommending them to anyone who will listen! They are awesome. They will play exactly what you want and will go out of their way to make your day!!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 23, 2015•From Providence, RI
I can't say enough about this band. We hired them without even meeting in person, going only off of reviews online and their audio clips, and several conversations over the phone. Mike made us comfortable and made it clear that he would do whatever it takes to make our wedding exactly as we wanted it to be, which was incredible! Even more, we hired Mike only three weeks before the wedding after a falling out with an unprofessional Dj. Nevertheless, Mike came through in every way, played awesome sets that we customized with him beforehand, and they were certainly the hit of the wedding! Just terrific. Everyone raved about them. Talented professionals all around!

What an AMAZING addition to our wedding day!! From top to bottom, I couldn't have asked for more. The quality of sound, professionalism, wide range of musical styles, and the ability to get everyone dancing and having a great time from young to old, is all a testament to their skill involved and care taken with our important day. They are entertaining as they are highly accomplished as musicians, and so many times throughout the night my friends and family were RAVING about them. Beyond needing the band for my wedding reception, I also needed music for the ceremony at a different location, so Mike set everything up without me ever needing to worry. Truly top notch.
