The Vincent James Band exceeded my expectations...and they were pretty high! I was skeptical about getting a band, but boy am I glad I did! Almost every guest at the wedding was up dancing the whole night! Our friends can’t stop talking about how great the music was! This group is totally worth it!!

Wow, talk about a group of people that keeps everyone on the dance floor. The VJB was amazing! I am an out of town bride, so I trusted my family to go to a showcase and pick a band, and they picked the right one. Charles was so easy to work with, and even made
last minute changes, which I greatly appreciated. I was able to add my own personal touches to the evening and everyone sounded great. So many of my guests came up to me to compliment the band.
Thank you again Charles and the VJB!

14 years ago my husband, daughter and future son in law attended a showcase to hear the Vincent James Band. Before arriving my husband advised me not to commit to this band if we liked them. He thought that we should interview others before making our selection.
Fifteen minutes into the showcase I had my checkbook out of my purse and booked them on the spot!!
Our first daughters wedding was spectacular with Vincent James Band and our guests were amazed at their ability to make every song sound as though it was being done by the original artist.
We have 2 younger daughters and never considered having anyone else be "our band".
We have referred many people who attended our weddings and LOVED the band so we have seen the Vincent James Band quite often which is always a pleasure.
Our only regret is that we don't have any other daughters left!!!
They are fabulous and you will not be disappointed!!

It has been three years since my husband and I got married, and I can still remember every single detail from that day. What made it so memorable (other than the fact that it was our wedding)? The Vincent James Band.
I had been to other weddings with a live band, so when we started planning our wedding, I knew I wanted a band. My husband (Anthony), on the other hand, wanted a DJ. He didn’t want to spend more than $1,000 for a single night and assured me that people would prefer a DJ. I decided to table the discussion because I knew that as soon as he heard the band, he’d change his mind – I was right. We went to see one of the band’s showcases one evening, where they did a preview of what we could expect at a wedding. I’m not exaggerating when I say that as soon as they finished their first song, we knew we had to book them. Anthony and I looked at each other with big smiles, almost as if we had already pictured how amazing our wedding would be if they played – right, again! We booked the band – before we even booked a venue! In fact, we booked them to play during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The months leading up to the wedding (as you all know), were super busy, but we felt so comfortable speaking with the band members to iron out all of the details and our specific requests. They were always available, professional, and extremely personable.
Wedding day!
As I waited to walk down the aisle, I could see our guests listening to the beautiful, live music being played. The melodies were so joyful, yet soothing – just as I’d hoped – and it set the tone for the rest of the evening! Several of the band members also played during the cocktail hour, which added such a cool element. Instead of just background noises (or awkward silence – which does happen at events), while everyone mingled, they could listen to live music. Not loud, obtrusive music, but the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding on a warm, summer evening. As if all of that wasn’t enough, we still had the reception to look forward to! All of our guests filtered in to find their seats and prepare for the wedding party to be announced; the band, however, had other plans. We (the wedding party) were downstairs getting lined up and ready to be announced, when all of the sudden, we heard music. You know that feeling you get when you hear your favorite song come on the radio, you turn it up, and you can’t help but dance? This was ten times better than that!!! Anthony and I just looked at each other – “Is that the band?!” YES! I can’t even explain to you how amazing they sounded! As we walked in, I felt like we were in a movie. Even as I’m typing this, I can still hear the music, and the bass, and am bobbing my head to the beat. By the time Anthony and I had gotten to the center of the dance floor, everyone was dancing right along with us, sharing in that priceless moment! Perfect! The rest of the evening was just as perfect as that moment. The band played songs that every single one of our guests loved! They covered songs better than the original artists. They got all of our friends and family (some of whom never dance at weddings) up on the dance floor and kept it packed all night! Anthony and I left that evening on such an indescribable high thanks to the talent of the Vincent James Band.
Three year later, we still hear about what an amazing time our families and friends had at our wedding! The Vincent James Band is simply the BEST!
