Featured on Netflix Series: Marriage or Mortgage

The band is a hoppin and a poppin Big City Rhythm is fabulous, it’s a party. We 100% made the right decision in choosing marriage over mortgage. The day was the epitome of love and acceptance. My hope is that our love is inspiring other indiviuals in the LGBT community to know they are incredibly loved.

The band was absolutely killer! It was exactly what we wanted…played a good mix between the classic wedding songs with new music to accommodate all ages. Every single person was on the dance floor. The crowd started chanting one more song when it was time to end. If that isn’t the best compliment in of itself! Thank you so much for all your help and let the band know they absolutely crushed it!

Big City Rhythm delivered in a BIG WAY! They were responsive to our need for a dinner time type early set and then took a break and came back with the full band and had everyone dancing for the ENTIRE rest of the night! Their energy was through the ROOF and the guests responded with energy right back at them! I have seen many bands for these type functions (Deb Parties and Weddings) and Big City were by far the most professional and quality driven musicians and entertainers we could ever have hoped for. Their music appealed to the broad range of attendees which ranged from college aged on up to retiree and older age. This band did not take a break or slow down after their first break and each song blended into the next with such seamless ease it made everyone dance like it was a 2 hour boogie marathon! Highly recommended and hope to see them again sometime soon! Thanks y’all!

Philip and Derek very nice and communicative…they made sure things were top notch and entertaining! Big City Rhythm was the perfect fit and truly made it a special night to remember! Also, the feedback from our guest has just been amazing! Thanks for your “no problem” attitudes with an exceptional eye to professionalism and detail…I could keep going…but I’ll stop! Please extend our thanks to the band and I mean everyone! I only met the two mentioned but from the 2 beautiful very talented lady singers, to the lead male singer (good energy), bass, guitar, drums, brass (sax/2 and trumpet)…already mention Philip/Derek…which are not only leaders but great entertainers… Thanks again, and look forward to next time…because there will be one!!!!

Senior Lead Wedding Coordinator

Big City Rhythm was absolutely amazing! Phillip and the entire team were so great to work with. I literally told them at the end of the night that they are one of the easiest bands to work with the day of. I went over the details with the ceremony musicians once and they were in place 5 minutes before they needed to start playing music for guest arrival. Similarly, I went over the reception timeline with Phillip once and the evening flowed smoothly. He also made a point to find me in the reception space before moving on to the next thing, which was great! It's always the worst when the reception musician goes rogue not realizing the couple wants extra time to greet guests or longer to eat. Aside from the logistical magic, the band sounded incredible! They had all the guests AND the couple on the dance floor all night. I also noticed at one point that they are really great at engaging the guests. The bride, groom and another guest were called on stage at different times during the reception to ""get low"". It was truly a party for everyone. We will definitely recommend Big City Rhythm to future couples.

Everyone said that it was the best wedding and reception they had ever been to. Everybody loved the band and wanted to know how we found them because all of them could sing and they were entertaining. We were going to pay for them to keep playing but the owners of Windwood would not allow it. They were better than Rachael and I even expected. Thank you for working with us in picking them out. We hope to be working with you again in about 5 years or so with our other daughter, Natalie.

I definitely want to echo Kirsten’s comments. After all the hurdles everyone experienced getting to this wedding, the band hit a home run. I was very concerned that our guests would be so exhausted with the travel experience they would sit around and drink their weariness away. Instead we all partied non stop for 4 hours. To say people had a wonderful time seems understated. People had a FANTASTIC time. Thank you so very very much. Best to all of you.

The band was simply fantastic. The dance floor was packed from the very first song all the way until the very end. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me during and after the fact to tell me how great the band was. They were so engaged with the crowd and managed the flow of the evening really well. Chris and I were a little concerned people might not have as much fun on a Sunday night, so the bar was even higher than it was previously, and they still blew us away. We had an absolute blast and are so grateful to you all for helping to make our wedding night so fun and memorable for us and all of our guests.
