We got Brooklyn Sound for our wedding in May, and they were absolutely amazing! We downsized from 200 to 35 people, and we weren’t sure what the energy was going to be like with a small wedding. I shouldn’t have given it a second thought because Jonny and Brooklyn Sound did an incredible job keeping the energy high and making sure everyone had a great time. By the end, I forgot there were only 35 people under our tent. They contributed so much to making our day special, and I can’t thank them enough!The owner of Hank Lane was also extremely flexible with the ups and downs of COVID planning which we really, really appreciated. He was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend working with Hank Lane and Brooklyn Sound!
What can I say about the Russ Bennett band….captivating, amazing, entertaining, professional, off the charts of fun!!! I have no doubts that The Russ Bennett Band helped to make my daughters wedding come to life. I highly recommend them!!!!!
THE JENNA WYNNE BAND is beyond talented! They kept everyone, young and old, dancing all night long! Jenna’s voice is so powerful – she can sing a Celine Dion song like no one else can – and our friends and family can not stop talking about how fantastic they all are! We got multiple comments from our parents’ friends saying that this was the first wedding where the music wasn’t so overbearing that they wanted to put in earplugs or leave early! The band’s energy is contagious and everyone in the room could feel it! We, without a doubt, highly recommend The Jenna Wynne Band!
Fantastic band lead by Russ Bennett, a fantastic guy. Amazing musicians, and vocalists. Dance floor was packed corner to corner the entire night with high voltage. Sweet Child of Mine, a great but difficult song, for example, sounded like guns ‘n roses themselves. In combo with the Florentine Gardens our daughter’s wedding was spectacular and everything we had hoped for.
We enjoyed working with Ian and Hank Lane in booking our wedding band. Ian was very knowledgeable and we had comfort in working with a large organization like Hank Lane. We booked the Reggie Woods Band and working with Hank Lane took the guesswork out of searching for a band independently.
We worked with Frank Simmons’s band. Our entire experience in working with Hank Lane Music as a company: from our initial meeting with Spencer where he was quick to work on a solution within our budget; to the communication process as we coordinated the logistics heading into the wedding; to our initial meeting with Frank and all our back and forth communications with him; etc. was a truly wonderful experience. In particular, I want to give extra praise to Frank whose passion and energy was contagious and he truly made us feel like we were the most important couples wedding he was ever going to do. He and my fiancé had a bunch of back and forth emails on creative ideas and they worked extremely well together. From the 1st time we met Frank we knew we had made the right decision and we both took a big deep breathe knowing that the band was second to none. Frank and his teams performance on our wedding night did not disappoint! I can not count the number of people who said some version of: Amazing wedding, who was that band!?, Best band I have ever heard at a wedding, The energy of your wedding was unbelievable; that band was great, You have to send me the name of that band, and so on and so forth. Frank and his team really brought their A+ game to our wedding and I greatly appreciate it. As a company, Hank Lane Music did everything you said you would do and really went above and beyond for us. A true first rate experience!We could not have had a better experience working with a band and we are so grateful that we found them.Thank you again.Mike
We could not have asked for a better band than the Frank Simmons band for our wedding. They were absolutely amazing! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night and were constantly commenting on how awesome the band sounded! Most of the time you forgot that it wasnt the original artists singing the songs, they were that good! Overall, they were very accommodating, organized and easy to work with. We were beyond happy with them and would recommend them to anyone who asks! Music is one of the most important pieces of the evening and they truly made the party rock!!
Brooklyn Sound played for our wedding on 2/24/18. They were beyond fantastic. 1 month later I am still hearing from my guest how awesome they were. They truly were a part of making our day even more memorable and special!!! Thank you Jonny and band for a great night of music!!
We had the Madison Avenue Band for my daughters wedding on April 30, 2016. They exceeded our expectations. We have two professional musicians in our family. The groom who has a doctorate in piano and my son, a rock musician. Both and many others said that Madison Avenue was the best wedding band they ever heard. To this day, we are still receiving compliments. Surprisingly almost every band member sung. We had a mix of sophisticated music and even a little R & B mixed in. Everyone danced. We highly recommend Madison Avenue for your wedding.
The staff here was super easy to work with... I wasnt feeling too great when we walked in but they had us in and out in less than an hour. They helped us figure out what type of music to play for our guests based on their demographics, which made the decision much easier.
We hired Brooklyn Sound for our wedding on 5/11/19. We heard that they were good but that is an understatement! Jonny Hirsch and the rest of the band are super talented musicians who had all of our guests on the dance floor for the entire wedding! They had amazing energy and played a variety of genres. When our guests chanted “one more song” the band politely obliged and played one last song. It was a great memory to end our night. Our guests could not stop raving about the band and how amazing they sounded! Jonny met with my husband and I a few weeks before the wedding to better understand what we wanted. He was super accommodating, offered great recommendations and was very nice. We can’t thank Brooklyn Sound enough for helping to make our special day even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend Brooklyn Sound!
Marcus Reid Band were a hit at our wedding. They bring more energy and musicianship than you can imagine. We were very pleased with our experience. They do not come cheap, but they are high value and were worth it in our opinion.
We had the Frank Simmons Band play at our wedding on May 2, 2015. All I have to say is that they were UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Words cannot describe how good this band is. They have so much diversity... the singers are unbelievable and the musicians are incredible too. They can play such a variety of songs, playing your typical wedding songs to meeting the requests of their clients. They were able to learn and play a few songs for us that were really special to our families and they NAILED them. I would recommend this band to anyone who wants to have a fantastic wedding. The band is what really makes the wedding, and this band delivers. I truly cant say enough about them.
We booked Sugar Lane through Hank Lane and worked with an amazing team of people including Jenna, Benna, and Stephanie. Chioma is the Sugar Lane lead singer and beyond amazing. She is super sweet and so talented and knows how to make the party super amazing! Love then and highly recommend Hank Lane and Sugar Lane!
We used the Artie Stuart band and there were beyond AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! They listened to our every request and executed everything with incredible perfection. Every single note they played and song they sung was PERFECT!!!! I will never be able to express how incredibly happy we were with their work. We had some strange requests and boy, did they follow through and perform with absolute perfection!! We got married on Halloween and my husband planned three different flash mobs. This wouldnt have been possible without the help of the band- so thank you!!! And thanks for dressing up and getting into the spirit! Further, we had an Israeli singer join the band for the night and that was the highlight on my night, as well as all the Israelis in the room. WOW! What a gift to have that!!! To everyone at Hank Lane, and to our AMAZING, UNREAL, INCREDIBLE, AWESOME Artie Stuart Band- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there is one thing people cant stop talking about its our wedding band. Hank Lane and the Steve Delisi band did an amazing job. The Steve Delisi band is not only an amazing group of people but they are beyond talented and can take on anything. Hank Lane was also beyond supportive throughout the process and made sure everything went on without a hitch. It was the best decision we made for our wedding hands down.
DJ Josh and everyone at MTM were fantastic to work with. From our first time sitting down with Josh, we felt like we were meeting with somebody who shared our vision for how we wanted our wedding to be. All anybody at MTM ever did was help us make our dream into a reality and we are so glad we chose MTM for our wedding. DJ Josh was great and so thoughtful during our wedding - we would recommend him to anybody. He also played guitar and sang during our cocktail hour, which was great.
The Dane Wright Band ROCKS!!!!! Our wedding was April 11th, 2014 and we could not be happier with our decision to book The Dane Wright Band through Hank Lane. My husband I both agree it was the best money spent!!!! After meeting with Hank Lane Music and then with Dane himself, we knew this band was the band for us. The Dane Wright Band was great to work with. They went above and beyond our expectations.They really listened to us and put together amazing sets with all the songs and genres we asked for. They are young, current, and really know how to put on a great show! The energy they brought to our wedding really set the tone. We loved how interactive they were, as the main vocalists of the band got everybody rocking as they sang so many hits right in the middle of our guests on the crowded dance floor. One song after the other had our crowd singing and dancing from beginning to end. Our friends and family are still telling us we had the BEST wedding band EVER! Thanks Dane and The Dane Wright Band! You really made our wedding a wedding to remember! We cant wait to come up with another event to book you guys!-Christy and Marc .
I could not be happier with Hank Lane. We used the Michael Hart Band for our wedding and loved him. He met with us a few times TI ensure he captured our eclectic taste in music (top 40 and old school hits). After our wedding, friends were raving. Some said they felt like if they were to sit out for even 1 song that it would be a tragedy. Another- whose in the music industry, said they played songs live better than the actual artists. Lastly one friend switched her wedding date after booking a venue just to have Michael Hart. Kim, who helped us at Hank Lane was very helpful as well in choosing band. Some worry that you just hear a CD and do not see a live video, try not to get fixated on that fact. These guys have an amazing reputation for a reason.
These guys are GREAT! The band I used for my wedding (Clara Barton Band I think?) was incredible; they perfectly covered the wide variety of music we wanted: Skynard, The Eagles, The Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, etc. There was no room on the dance floor and it got everyone (including my 95 year old Great Uncle) dancing like crazy. Even before the big day, they took care to reach out well in advance and discuss my playlist of ideas, confirm details, and promptly and professionally handled all questions I had (had never been to a wedding with a band before and didn’t quite know what to expect). No doubt it made the reception, maybe even the whole wedding. Would hire again and would recommend to literally anyone.
We just at our daughters wedding this past week end at Gurneys, Montauk NY. Hank Lane- Kenny and his group performed and they were great.Everyone loved the band... and they kept our wedding dancingall night...Thanks for a great job.Ellen SamraMay 10, 2016
The Billy Stone Band is incredible!! We hired them through Hank Lane to play at our Shadowbrook wedding in July 2018 based on our wedding planners recommendation. My now-husband wanted to go with a band, but I was hesitant, thinking that it was not worth the money over a DJ and worried that we wouldnt know what quality we would get. We ended up hiring Billy Stone for a total of 8 musicians (one more than the minimum to broaden the scope of the sound) and two cocktail hour musicians (cello and keyboard). Boy was I wrong! They were all amazing!!First, Hank Lane was very organized, professional and affable during the planning stages. Before the wedding we had several scheduled calls and emails for them to get an idea of what kind of music we wanted. We then inputed some selections into their website which they would use as inspiration. Closer to the event date, they went over the plan carefully for the entire night, including the logistics for the first dance song. We were anxious about this part, since the lyrics and tempo of the song had to be altered by the band and since we had only rehearsed to the original version, but the band did this perfectly such that it did not throw off our dance at all (only our moves were mediocre :)).During the wedding they were fantastic. The band leader made all of the announcements and introductions as planned. The band really injected a lot of energy into the crowd such that everyone was dancing all night long and the members even interacted with guests on the dance floor. Their voices and musical skills were very impressive and they picked a great set of songs. We also had a friend perform a solo (song and guitar) and the band did a superb job backing him up. Even my mom, who ALWAYS prefers DJs, loved them. :) Numerous guests also pointed out that they were the best band ever!In summary, the Billy Stone Band was worth every penny. They were extremely talented, professional and fun. They looked very elegant up on stage and added a classy yet edgy vibe to our wedding. I only wish I had had more time to really enjoy their performance but of course like every bride I was running around at my own wedding. Hire Hank Lane--you wont be disappointed!!
Hank Lane is AMAZING! From start to finish, the company as a whole was professional, organized, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We booked LUXE for our wedding of 200 people in the Apawamis ballroom in Rye, NY. They were a 10 piece band and 100% incredible. Obviously Im bias, but they were the best band Ive ever heard. Countless guests asked how we found them, saying they were they best of the best. Even a few asked for their card. Look no further!! They are young and fun and have the crowd dancing the entire night. Frank, the band leader, is so responsive to any questions during the planning process and he had great recommendations for the the flow of the night. We have nothing but good things to say about LUXE and Hank Lane. You will be in the right hands and this is one less thing to worry about as you plan your dream night!
Too expensive! They take advantage of your wedding emotions!
I got married on Saturday Sept 26th at Westbury Manor and used Hank Lane- The Bleecker Street Band, they were above and beyond my expectations. I have to say I had nightmares about my band after I had booked with Hank Lane because they do not have showings where you would actually see the band play live, I only saw them on a projector screen. My best friend used the Dane Wright band and they were amazing!!!!! I had to go to Hank Lane for my band. Dane Wright was booked on my wedding day and I chose Bleecker Street, and I am over the moon ecstatic that I did. My family and friends love to dance and have a good time and my dance floor was packed all day!!!!! We all had the time of our lives, I have been getting messages & phone calls still that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and my band was absolutely phenomenal!! Alison & Danielle were an absolute pleasure to deal with and I thank you Hank Lane Team and Bleecker street!! You guys made my wedding above and beyond what I had imagined. My family, friends and myself are still sore from all the dancing. Amazing amazing amazing. Thank you for making my day a TRUE day to remember!!!!!
Everyone LOVED Jeff Lubin band!!! energy was amazing and songs were perfect!!!! kept the party rocking all night!!!!
Great wedding band.
Was bad choice..
Our son’s wedding on Oct 1 2021 at Hamilton Farm had the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. When you look around the ballroom and only see a few people sitting you know it’s rocking. Fabulous that’s all I can say, worth every dollar…
