Chris was great to work with and very professional. He and his band performed at our summer client appreciation event recently, and our clients really loved their musical choices and engaging performances. They knew how to make the music unobtrusive at just the right times (during dinner service, for example) and then picked things up when the night advanced and people were longing to dance. They seemed to judge rightly as to which musical selections our guests would most enjoy. Overall, they did an excellent job. Highly recommend! Many Thanks to the band!

Thanks so much for having us! We had a great time playing for your crowd! Hope to join you again sometime! Cheers!

The Chris Humphrey Big Band exceeded my already high expectations! I was very excited to have the 14-piece band play at my wedding, and they were even better than I could have imagined. Leading up to the wedding Chris was easy to work with and very accommodating. He was also a great MC, putting everyone at ease and very professional. I was blown away by the musicianship, friendly demeanor, and fun atmosphere of the band. Every guest had positive feedback! I recommend this band to everyone who is looking for a memorable experience and true quality in their music.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 17, 2023•From Madison, ME
The Chris Humphrey Big Band was fantastic! Thank you, thank you, for making my birthday party something truly special. Despite some technical difficulties on the venue's end, Chris Humphrey and co. kindly soldiered on and played an amazing set of 1940s-era music. Every one of my friends and family reached out to me to let me know it was a fun, refreshing experience to have a live big band, and that it was an event they would always remember. I cannot recommend highly enough this talented group of musicians!

The Chris Humphrey's Band made our event an unqualified success. Talented, professional, kind and accommodating in every way. Everyone- young, old and in between- was thoroughly entertained. I cannot wait to find another opportunity to work with them again. They're the best around.

If there was one word I could use to describe Chris Humphrey and his band it would be tasteful. Everything had a touch of tact and class, and it really allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding knowing that we didn't have to worry about the music. He did a wonderful ob MCing the event from introducing the wedding party to the cake cutting and bouquet toss with a drum roll. The music made the mood during dinner, there was time for slow dances, upbeat swing, and at the end even some tasteful DJing for all the people who wanted to step it up a bit. We received numerous compliments on the band from guests and we couldn't have been more pleased.

The Chris Humphrey Big Band was phenomenal! We had extended the dance floor prior to the event and I am so glad that we did, as it was packed for every dance. Great volume and wonderful with announcements, Chris is the consummate professional. Many of our guests were from places as far away and as culturally diverse as Germany, New Zealand, India and China and yet they all raved about the music. It appealed to all ages as well. This is the best wedding band imaginable and I would give them my very highest recommendation.

These guys were fantastic. Everyone loved the music. They managed to get almost everyone dancing. Chris had the added challenges of not being able to use any amplified sound. We could not have a microphone or evan a piano that plugged in and the sound was still fantastic! I would recommend these guys to anyone! I loved them and so did all of out guests!

The Chis Humphrey Big Band played at our wedding and I can't say enough great things about them. We found them simply through a web search, and Chris' voice was excellent. We considered the price for his talent level exceptional! We purchased a quartet (Chris plays piano and sings, and he brought a drummer, upright bass player and saxophonist. Chris was exceptionally professional, answering emails much quicker than I ever expected, working out all of our questions and the details quickly. Chris was incredibly easy to work with and very accommodating. His music was enjoyed by all and his MC announcements were professionally done and classy.

Chris and his band were phenomenal. We had the six piece with three horns and they were all worth every cent. Chris was cheerful, prompt, accommodating and professional in every way.
The music was great and everyone at the party stayed until the end - the ultimate sign of a great band.
If they could travel to Los Angeles, I’d hire them again.
