We engaged Equinox Orchestra as a vendor for our wedding and I want to be VERY clear - other than the part where I actually got married to my now husband - they were the highlight of our wedding.They provided brass players (trumpets and French horns) for our ceremony and played Go the Distance while my groom walked down the aisle and he cries tears of happiness every time he thinks about that moment. It so SO EPIC.Equinox also provided a band for our reception, led by Noel Freidline and lead singer Maria Howell. I now understand why they are called the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra cause thats exactly what they were - absolutely fabulous!! Everyone enjoyed their performance and so many people were dancing! Usually at weddings you have to drag people to the dance floor... that was certainly not the case for us. Thank you so much Noel and Maria.Prior to to the wedding day during the planning process, the executive administrator, Brooke Barringer, Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson were so great to work with. They answered emails promptly and accommodated quite a few changes to our contracts with ease. We were supposed to get married in 2020 but unfortunately due to COVID, we had to reschedule to 2021 and they were so understanding and easy to work with to get that done. The planning process overall was easy and stress free. Big thank you to Brooke for herding us cats! lolIf I could give more stars I would. These guys played a major part in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. I give them my highest praise and if youre on the fence about booking them - DO IT. I promise you wont regret it.
Jeremy, Brooke and Clay make up only a portion of the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra!!! The entire team is professional and exceptional. We had a wonderful experience with them from start to finish at our event. I highly recommend The FABULOUS Equinox Orchestra!!! Our evening was such a success!!!Everyone had fun and we are looking forward to having them entertain us in the future.
Hiring Jeremy and Clay for our wedding was the best decision ever! We weren’t sure if we should splurge on live music, but it was worth EVERY PENNY! They had the perfect energy for our small brunch wedding and it definitely wouldn’t have been the same without them. They are incredibly talented and we loved the big band sound so much!
The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra did not disappoint. They were wonderful!!! The dance floor stayed busy all night. This is one talented band and I highly recommend taking the time to go hear them whenever possible.
WOW! Most fun Ive had in awhile. Do yourself a favor and go see these folks or hire them if you need music for a wedding, fundraiser, or special event. They did a fundraiser for us... great success. Planning on hiring them again next year. They work hard at tailoring their music and comments to your needs. Super responsive and will put your worries to rest.
The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra performed for us in Va. Beach for a wedding reception. WOW!!!! I was expecting great, but they were beyond fabulous. Clay simply knocks it down in perfect harmony with the band. Jeremy and the horn section are second to none and the entire band played from their hearts - all night. As the night went on, I had dozens of people come up to me and pretty much say, Who is this band? Where did you find them? They are incredible. I cant wait to see them again.
Jeremy brought a Jazz trio to a corporate function I had organized. He was always professional in his dealings with me and as a fellow musician, I knew he was dealing fairly with me and I could tell he knew his craft well. I cant tell you how much of a difference it made to have the music going. People walked into the event with the band playing and were immediately saying: WOW!The most wonderful thing was when my client decided to throw us a curve ball and introduce an activity into the event that had a Mission Impossible feel to it about a week out. I called Jeremy and asked if he could put together an arrangement of the Mission Impossible Theme for that part of the event. He agreed without hesitation. The activity went without a hitch and not only did the music make the activity more fun, it added to energy of the whole event. People did not want to leave.I would hire Jeremy and the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra(trio) again in a heartbeat. Consummate musicians all.
Tommy Brinson is the best trumpet player, I had a great time at my wedding and he played good( ps. im totaly not 12) he good band instructor (ps. pt2 he has kewl hair)
Tommy is one of the best trumpet player ive ever met. He kept us dancing all night!
We were fortunate to have Jeremy, Clay, and the band perform as part of our Cultural Series here at USC Aiken, in a fabulous, socially distant concert in our parking lot. Let me tell you, they were faaaaaaaaaaaaan-tastic! Consummate showmen, both, these guys know how to wow an audience. If youre looking for a hot band to rev up your crowds, the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra is your ticket!
Needed to write a paper for class on music and thought it would be great to attend a performance here in Chicago. Im was surprised how much I enjoyed myself. The band was awesome and sitting on stage with them was even better. And I got an A on my paper. Thanks guys
Phenomenal! Extremely talented musicians that will keep the crowd entertained. The members are some of the nicest, most respectful gentleman that Ive ever met. I would 100% recommend this amazing group for any event! I will definitely be booking them again and again!!
The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra sold out our Tarpon Springs Performing Arts Center. Our patrons loved them. They were great entertainers and the show was the perfect balance of stories and songs. The fun these guys have performing is contagious. Thanks for coming to Tarpon Springs!
We have hosted Jeremy, Clay, and The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra on three different occasions and have been blown away each time. As a performing arts venue that presents many bands and artists, these guys are among the very best. They are professional, easy to work with, and unbelievably talented! Our patrons pack the house each time they come to town!
Loved the stories sprinkled with comedy. You could see how much fun the band members were having by the expressions on their faces. Singers kept the audience glued to their seats. Individual attention was given to each instrument and showed respect. The group really made our event personable. I will follow this group on social media and buy their music today. Hire them for your next event and you will be glad you did! Great memories. Thanks for making our night so special!
I love when the orchestra comes home to West Monroe! Always fun to listen to.
Jeremy and his band played at my wedding on 8/30/14. There are not enough stars on this scale to adequately show what a great band they are. They sounded incredible! By far the best band I have ever heard at a wedding, and they were playing at mine! The singer (Clay) was amazing. The band never played off key and they kept people on the dance floor. If you want your reception to be classy and fun, BOOK THIS BAND NOW while you still have time!
The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra was such a joy to have at our theater! The audience left dazzled and asking for more! Clay and Jeremy are ‘Fabulous’ entertainers and we can’t wait to have them back on The Pines stage. It was such a pleasure working with this group, and they were all such gentleman! We look forward to more performances from The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra!
Im a corporate event planner out of Ohio and called on Equinox for two of my events held recently in Savannah -- a pianist at the Mansion on Forsyth Park and a jazz trio at the Jepson. Jeremy was great to work with and both performances were very well received by my group. I hope to have the opportunity to call on them again!
Im related to Ben Tucker and attended your fabulous Sun City performance on Nov. 24. But Im glad Ben, now deceased, couldnt be there to hear the joke by your director Tommy Brinson. It was a great evening that soured just at that point. Tasteless, inappropriate, offensive, disappointing.
