Here is what our clients have to say about us…
The Class was a perfect fit for our event at the Ritz Carlton! They played music that was spot on and were more than accommodating to any special needs we had. We will definitely hire them again if we are in the area!”
-Jessica H.
“YOU GUYS WERE INSANE!!! We are SO thankful and happy to have found you and had you on our day! You guys literally blew it out of the park! I literally remember at one moment thinking wow this music sounds incredible, and thought it was a recording…yet I turn around- and it’s you guys LIVE. We have gotten SO many compliments on you guys and not only how amazing you guys sounded, but how awesome your personalities are, how great you all looked, and how well you mixed up songs! The horns you had come in were so amazing as well! Cannot say it enough how lucky and thankful we are to have been able to have you at RUs. We will forever highly recommend you guys and hopefully will get the privilege of hearing you guys again live someday!!”
-Kristin T
“A production team could not ask for a better house band. You got the crowd going, you kept to schedule, and you played a great selection (what a range!). It was truly a pleasure working with you, and your engineer. You were top notch!”
-Dylan Eddleman (Senior Project Manager, Premier Global Events – PSAV)
“These guys are great! We hired The Class for a corporate event [at Mascone Center in SF for the NADA Show] to bring some energy to our morning session and they delivered!!! I have to say they did not have the easiest time slot. It was a Sunday morning arriving at 6:30AM and they were chipper and ready to go! Absolutely wonderful to work with!”
-Christine F. (Directions AV)
“We hired The Class for our wedding this past June, and they were absolutely incredible. Gabe was in constant communication with us from the moment we booked them until leading up to the wedding to make sure we were able to capture just what we wanted, staying on top of every little detail. Their performance at our wedding was high energy and they kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Jameson, the front man and MC, was a true professional. He knew how to engage the crowd, his vocals were fantastic, and he effortlessly guided the flow of the evening. I had requested a unique song that was not on their setlist (“Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard”) for my first dance with my father, and he and the band did a fabulous job-they even threw in some awesome gritos (Mexican vocal cry/shot) like in the original song. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the band was. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and fun band for any event, I highly recommend The Class!”
-Erin B
“Gabe and his band simply made the wedding. From the get go, they were a super easy vendor to work with. Extremely responsive. Didn’t need much guidance at all, and they worked with us for all our song requests. We had them play the ceremony too. They did acoustic covers of processional music we chose with two guitars. For the reception dinner, They played really great soft style covers that made it felt like dining at a fancy restaurant. But when it came time to dancing, they Rocked! It was a great mix of old classics and new pop and dance music. Everything from Springsteen to Lizzo. Gabe’s got a subdued style as an MC and lets the music do the work. But he was on it making announcements, introducing the couple and moving the night along from speeches, to dances, to cake cutting. They even played happy birthday for my wife’s grandmother, which was very special. My best man is a professional pianist, and they had no problem letting him come on stage to play a song, which really meant a lot to me. And they played some traditional Jewish celebration music to get us dancing. A DJ just wouldn’t have been the same. The wedding turned out exactly the way we wanted it to and it was thanks to the Class.”
-Stephanie D
“From the beautiful acoustic sets during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour to the non-stop hits that kept the dance floor full and moving, The Class Band absolutely crushed it! Gabe and the boys even went so far as to learn two new songs that held special significance for us to play during our first dance and parent dances. Leading up to the wedding, Gabe was always very quick to respond any time we reached out and a tremendous help with logistics. If you’re looking for a band that’s easy to work with, looks good and rocks hard, The Class Band is where it’s at!”
-Spencer H.
“100% as advertised! If you are considering a live band for your wedding, look no further than The Class. Great musicians and even better people. They are professional, accommodating and killer at executing an event! They know how to read a room, transitioning from song to song AND live to DJ effortlessly and without interruption. Give Gabe a shout, you won’t be sorry you did!”
-Colleen M
“We love The Class!! It was a no brainer that they would play at our wedding, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. We can’t recommend them enough, and would highly encourage everyone to include their horns players with the full band – amazing sound. Gabe is so easy to communicate with, and went out of his way to work with the band to learn an “unplugged” version of our first dance song, which helped make it that much more special.”
-Kiersten S
“Gabe and The Class Band are FIRST CLASS and the greatest!! They were recommended to me by our wedding venue, and booking them was one of the first things I did early on because I know how important it is to secure wedding entertainment. And these guys, for good reason, book up FAST! They will play anything and everything, and everyone has a fabulous time when they’re singing and playing the tunes! Our wedding was a dream come true, and we are so grateful to have had them there entertaining all of our guests!”
-Kristin K.
“Words do not do it justice how incredibly special the Class was as our wedding band. They were professional, fun, and so personable. They made my wedding even more special but adding what they do best. This is a no brainer if you are looking for a band for your wedding. They are 10 out of 10.”
-Margot H.
“The Class were absolutely great and I would highly recommend them. They were perfect for the night of our wedding. The music was on point, the dance floor was full, and we have got some great cell phone footage of the whole party singing along. Gabe was a great MC of the event as well, who made everything flow seamlessly. Finally, Gabe was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He was very professional, very responsive, and we went into the night of our wedding entirely confident on the music. It really was a wonderful experience.”
-Kyle H.
“Best wedding band!!! My husband and I worked with The Class for our wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. THEY WERE AMAZING and exactly what we were looking for. Gabe was so friendly, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond which is always a huge plus when planning a wedding. The band learned 2 songs for us, one of which they learned for both the processional (instrumental) and then played at the end of the reception (with vocals). They kept everyone dancing all night and played a variety of genres / eras to keep all of the guests singing along. They already had our first dance song on their list which was even more perfect. So many of my friends and family have told me how much they loved our band. I would recommend to everyone!!”
-Essie S.
“The Class was absolutely amazing, they nailed our first dance song and even two months later we still have guests tell us how much fun they had because of the band! They helped make the flow of the reception go so smoothly and we couldn’t be more happy with how everything went!”
-Elizabeth A.
“Great sound and good energy! The class were an amazing wedding band. Gabe, who was our point of contact, was very responsive to our emails, and calls, and really helpful with choosing songs for the bridal march etc.. The Class were able to learn a couple of songs for us, so we could have the first dance song we wanted, and they did an amazing job with it. They also handled the MC duties for us and kept the wedding running smoothly throughout the night.”
-Brett B.
“The consummate professionals! We were so fortunate to have this amazing band perform at our daughter’s wedding at the Tradition Golf Club in La Quinta. They are extremely professional, talented and engaging. They have an extensive song list and created a fun and energetic atmosphere at the reception. All the guests commented on how fabulous the band was. I am already looking at opportunities to bring them back to Tradition.”
-Paul H
“The Class are the absolutely PERFECT wedding band. We have been dancing to them for years at so many amazing events. We gave them minimal direction and they absolutely crushed everything. What sets Gabe and co apart from other wedding bands is their attention to detail for the little things, the music they played during dinner was perfect and every song transitioned to the next. Gabe was also incredibly responsive during the entire process. They had never done an international wedding and did not hesitate to come down to Mexico for us. They also handled all the communication with our DJ for equipment and kept us out of the details (which as you know is a rare and awesome trait in a wedding vendor). We cannot recommend the Class enough! Stop searching, you’ve found your band!”
Lucie A.
“The class band totally rocks! Gabe was extremely communicative during the planning process and we felt he really cared about us. Our dance floor was never empty! Their vibe is super fun and they were very easy to work with. Great selection of songs to choose from and the two new learned songs sounded fantastic!”
-Melissa G
“We had The Class Band perform at our wedding in September 2022 and could not have been happier with them! Gabe is such a thoughtful person and was so easy and accommodating to work out logistics with. They band learned two songs specially for our big day and they turned out great. We have had so many comments from our wedding guests about how amazing the band was! We would hire them again in a heartbeat!”
Victoria T.
“My husband and I had such a great experience with the Class Band at our recent wedding at the Stanly Ranch in Napa. Before finding the Class Band, I struggled to find a band that sounded great, had a wide repertoire and wasn’t cheesy. As soon as I found the Class Band by some stroke of luck, I knew they were right for us! Leading up to the big day, Gabe was responsive, organized and flexible. They agreed to do our wedding even though it meant driving overnight to their next wedding the following day, which blew me away! They sent their extensive song list and allowed us to choose songs for them to play live, but we were able to use our own Spotify playlists for cocktail hour, breaks, etc. which was the perfect setup! If that wasn’t enough, they also learned several new songs to play live for our parent dances that sounded great. The band did an amazing job all night — people were having a blast on the dance floor (my husband was even crowd surfing at one point) and we got so many compliments from friends and family about the band’s sound. They pulled off everything from Whitney Houston to the Weeknd and everything in between. They also did a great job acting as MC / announcer. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with the Class Band and hope our paths cross again in the future.”
-Amber C.
The Class band was magnificent! They traveled from California to Colorado for our daughter’s wedding. They read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor full all night. The guys were professional and fun to work with. I recommend them highly!
-Sandra L.
You will not regret using The Class for your wedding. They are incredibly easy to work with, helpful for picking music, and very flexible. They traveled halfway across the country to give us the wedding of our dreams! Our dance floor was full until the very last song and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the band. I cannot give enough praise to this amazing group! I cannot say enough great things about this band. They were undoubtedly our easiest vendor to work with through the entire wedding process. My husband and I literally felt like we had our own private concert. They kept the dance floor completely full until the very last song. The guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the band was. We will forever remember The Class as part of our big day!
-Rebecca L
“We hired The Class Band for our wedding at the Wilshire Ebell in Los Angeles this February. They were SO awesome and fun! We added some instruments (I believe we had an 8 or 9 piece band) which made it even cooler. These guys are truly incredible musicians and they really kept the party going. We had people dancing on the dance floor until the last song! They were easy to communicate with and they have a HUGE selection of songs they can play. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a band to play your wedding!”
-Isabel B
The Class Band did an amazing job for all the music for our wedding! Having live music at our wedding was important to us and The Class definitely delivered! Everyone was on their feet dancing the entire night and they helped us create the ultimate dance party! They were very professional and easy to communicate and work with!
-Sabrina M.
“When we first discussed our wedding in the infancy of its planning stages—one thing that was important to my husband and I was that we really wanted a live band. We had been to many weddings previously where the dance floor had been a bust for varying reasons—guests, time of day, availability of alcohol, quality of DJ—but a continuous theme we had found was that weddings with a live band helped keep the energy up and the dance floor populous. Which is all we wanted! A fun dance party with our friends and family. When we began our search, our wedding planner pointed us in the direction of The Class and it was love at first set list. We spent an hour reading over their set list and every few seconds we’d say out loud “We LOVE that song! We love THAT song!!!” They even had “This Will Be Our Year” by the Zombies which we had no idea was even a possibility for wedding band repertoires! Their vibe, their video examples, and their varying range of songs were obviously perfect from the get go. And working with them from there was even more amazing! Gabe was so responsive by email and so flexible in helping us musically design the evening we dreamed of. Many years ago we joked about going right from our first dance into “I’m a Believer” and getting the whole floor dancing—and that dream came true thanks to The Class! Gabe also navigated our “between sets” Spotify playlists like a champ and made our ceremony musical cues go off without a hitch. Guests of all ages loved hitting the dance floor when The Class played and the energy never dipped! We can’t recommend The Class enough for all your event’s musical needs!”
-Jamie L
“We booked The Class for our Top 125 Black-Tie Gala attended by 625 corporate learning professionals from across the country. The band came through for us exactly as we had hoped they would. Their audio tech kept the sound level just right for our dinner, and as the meal ended the band had attendees up and dancing. At a break in our awards program, the dance floor was overflowing and others were dancing at their tables. Can’t ask for more than that! They were true professionals… and I knew they would be because Gabe was in touch and responsive from the moment we connected. Thanks for making us look good!”
-Julie Groshens (Conference Director, Training Magazine)
The Class Band was WAY more than just a band for the night. Not only did they keep our dance floor full ALL night, but Gabe and his team also helped with ceremony sound, playlist selection, MC’ing and SO much more. As we approached our wedding date, we had loads of questions. Gabe was beyond kind to us and answered every single question while making sure that everything we wanted to happen that night would happen in the most seamless way. It felt like we were in a movie and it was so easy to work with them. Needless to say, one of the highlights of our wedding was having The Class Band there. People keep telling us that the band was their favorite part of the night! We feel so lucky. Thank you all so much for helping to make our day the happiest day of our lives!
-Jessica S.
“Packed dance floor!!! The Class was the perfect band for our Hollywood wedding! They were super easy to work with and their music kept the dance floor packed all night. If you’re looking for a really cool wedding band look no further! I highly recommend them and can’t wait to figure out a reason to hire them again soon.”
Patrick M
“This is the best wedding band!! I could not believe how hard it was to find a band to play at our wedding. Apparently everyone likes DJs these days. But The Class was exactly what we were looking for! They were extremely professional and endlessly talented. We had numerous customization requests and Gabe was so easy to work with–very transparent, helpful, and positive! And all of our guests said they were the best band they had ever heard! Our guests didn’t want to go to the after party because they wanted the band to keep playing! We strongly recommend hiring The Class–you won’t be disappointed!”
-Molly C.
“The Class Band is amazing! As a planner, I have the opportunity to work with many vendors. The Class is very talented, fun, and puts on a good show. They are communicative, accommodating, and are great to work with. I would hire them any day, and you should too! You won’t regret it!”
-Emily S.
“The Class was responsible for all the music at our wedding (May 11, 2019)—ceremony, cocktail hour, dance party—as well as all microphones / speakers needed for our officiant during the ceremony and toasts during the reception. Hands down, they were the easiest vendor to work with! We gave them a sense of what kind of music we liked / wanted to hear, and they ran with it. After our wedding, friends and family still remark on how much they loved the acoustic set for our ceremony (all Beatles tunes) and cocktail hour; for the dance party after the reception, the band jammed with the groom’s uncle and that was also a huge hit. Gabe, the front man we dealt with from day one, was fantastic and honored all of our unique requests, including having a bridesmaid sing our first dance and learning “our song” to be played later in the evening. Really can’t recommend The Class enough; they were a hit and we’re so happy to have worked with them!”
-Caroline G
“I realize The Class has an enthusiastic fan presence online, but honestly, these talented musicians really know how to deliver. Gabe was prompt & pleasant to work with beforehand, which gave me confidence that our daughter’s wedding music was in safe hands and, goodness, The Class sound was even better than we imagined! Everyone was on the dance floor singing & grooving. It was a very fun evening and I can not recommend them enough. Trust me, you will not regret contacting Gabe and his talented group. They’re the best. Thank you Gabe for helping us make our daughter’s wedding day such a grand success. Cheers!”
-Janet S
“The Class was absolutely awesome! Gabe and the whole group were so easy to work with and they totally killed it! I can’t recommend them enough, especially if you are looking for a wedding band that isn’t cheesy and just plays great music!”
-Jamie I
I seriously can’t say enough good things about The Class! They made the entire process as smooth as could be and were highly responsive and friendly. Our guests has the BEST time at our wedding thanks to their amazing music and song selections. Would highly recommend for any party!
-Casey W
“The amount of details that go into planning a wedding can be so overwhelming. When you work with vendors that make it easier, it is a huge relief. Gabe and The Class were such a breath of fresh air during our year of planning. We first reached out to the band because we liked their diverse song list, but I quickly felt like I 100% trusted Gabe as we worked together to plan the music. He was organized, responsive, flexible, responded to email quickly, had good suggestions and was just generally on top of it. And that was just before the wedding. You can tell these guys really love their job because they kept the party going all night. Everyone at the wedding commented on how great they were! Gabe even indulged me on a last minute lyric change for our first dance. As far as value goes in the things we paid for, The Class was by far our best investment!”
-Lauren B
“Gabe, Seriously you guys were so professional and made so many good choices artistically. We are lucky you were available for the day and will recommend you to our friends. The band made our night and we keep talking about how awesome the music was, both for the ceremony and the reception. You will be in our memories forever and I hope we stick out in yours. Thank you again!”
Hanna G
“I couldn’t have imagined a better live band experience at our wedding than what the Class gave us. We found them online and were impressed right away with their sound, their energy and their song selections. Throughout the entire planning process, Gabe was exceptionally accommodating and helpful. The Class played for our ceremony, dinner, and reception. I couldn’t know what to expect since I hadn’t seen them play before but the band supported the ambiance for each part of the night, playing with different tempos, moods, and dynamics to support the celebration, not take away from it. Their ceremony renditions of Van Morrison and Neil Young brought guests to tears, and their covers kept the dance floor packed the whole night. If you are looking for a knock-out band to round out your perfect night, you will not go wrong collaborating with The Class.
-Ian C.
“We just had our wedding last night and we loved The Class so much that I had to write them a review immediately! I’m getting chills just thinking about how amazing our celebration was thanks to them and their professionalism, attention to detail, and above all, the ability to keep everyone on the dance floor. We heard so many positive comments about The Class throughout the evening so I know we made the right decision. They flawlessly executed our event – from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, then into our reception and right down to the end of the evening. Being a Type A personality, I’m a tough critic and obviously wanted everything to be as perfect as possible and they more than impressed me. They truly are a “class” act and I almost wish we had another event we could hire them for.”
-Natalie R
“The Class Band was our top choice for the music at our wedding and we were so happy they were available for our date! We had such a good time dancing all night and The Class Band did an amazing job getting everyone of every age on the dance floor. We have never seen most of our family members dance as much as they did! We truly could not have picked a better band for our wedding and are so glad we made that choice. Gabe was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process, even letting us use the equipment for our ceremony sound system as well. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL FUTURE BRIDES AND GROOMS! We cannot thank you enough.”
-Andrew G
“Absolute must-hire band! Gabe and his crew provided the highest level of care we could have asked for during our wedding. From day one, he laid out their song list, AV capabilities, and process for the entire day. As part of their package, they learned two songs not on their list, and CRUSHED it! They provided walk-out music for the ceremony, microphones for wedding toasts, and rocked the night! Literally all of our friends and family could not stop talking about how amazing they were! The Class is a band that I would 100% recommend and unquestionably hire again to play. There aren’t enough words to describe how truly awesome they were!”
-Tess Y.
“The Class was fantastic! We got so many compliments from our guests and couldn’t be happier that we were able to book them. We were really relying on them to be the sole entertainment at our wedding and they delivered beyond our hopes. They were wonderful to work with leading up to the event, such a talented group with just the right amount of everything. They had a great presence without overpowering the guests, seamlessly adapted to each phase of the event, had a great playlist that really added to the magic feel we were trying to create. Total professionals and really great guys. Can’t recommend enough!”
-Megan G
“The Class Band was one of the very best decisions of our wedding! Gabe and his band mates were incredibly professional, responsive to emails and questions, and most importantly – created an atmosphere at the reception that had my guests commenting that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! Cannot recommend these guys more – they had all of our music and sound needs covered even for our more rustic, outdoor wedding: from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. They also learned one of my very favorites to play for our first dance – a special moment that I will never forget! Amazing talent, attitudes, and song choices all around.”
-Brier G
“The Class was an amazing band! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They handled the everything from beginning to end. Even our wedding coordinator said this was the best band she’s worked with.”
-Amanda B
“The Class was fantastic! With so much to consider when planning a wedding, I wanted a band that I could hire and more or less leave to their own devices, and see them on the day. The Class delivered this experience and more! Gabe assured full confidence in the Class’s ability to deliver a fun and beautiful wedding experience. Not to mentions handled dealing with wedding-planning parents like a pro. Thank you The Class! 5 stars is not enough!”
-Jay K
“Hiring The Class for our wedding was one of, if not the, best decision we made. Gabe and the other guys were extremely kind, professional, easy to work with, and most importantly, talented! They provided us with the perfect music during dinner and had everyone up and dancing afterward. They know exactly what they’re doing and they do it in such a non-cheesy, and classy (no pun intended) way. They even learned a song for us that was very important for my family to have at our wedding!! I would hire them again without a second thought and I have already recommended them to several other people.”
-Claudia M
“Our friends and family are still raving about The Class Band’s performance! My husband and I will never forget how fun, professional, and incredible Gabe and The Class Band were for our wedding! Thank you so much!”
-Jamie B
“The Class was the perfect band for our wedding, they had a great song list, played at the perfect volume and speed for dinner and kept everyone dancing for the rest of the night! They were very nice and we would use them again in a heartbeat!”
-Anna C
“I can’t begin to say enough about how amazing The Class was. Leading up to my wedding, Gabe and I emailed frequently, and his responses were always quick, professional, and positive. The day of the wedding, I was impressed by the whole band: they were on time, dressed professionally the second they walked in the door, and they sounded AMAZING. Don’t tell my wife, but I think the band got more compliments and rave reviews than her dress did. If you have the opportunity to book them, DO IT! I spent months looking at bands, and the decision to book the Class was the best decision I made (aside from getting married to my beautiful wife).
-Bill B.
“The Class Band was AMAZING!! Working with Gabe was a breeze. He responded to emails right away and was always quick to communicate. They accommodated all of our requests and our wedding was an absolute blast because of them! Every single one of our guests was on the dance floor. I would definitely recommend. We also added the sax which was a great addition and well worth the extra money!”
-Liz D.
“The Class was beyond excellent in everything they did from initial planning to their performance at our wedding ceremony. All expectations were blown away and they truly made our reception as fun as we could imagine. Don’t even look for another wedding band, book The Class!”
-Cody S.
“The Class are the absolute best! They provided everything we needed to make our party a hit – sounds, lighting and of course amazing music. Gabe was really thorough leading up to our event, making everything that much easier day-of. They arrived on time, they looked sharp and were absolute pros. The sound was great, the transitions between songs were smooth and they had everyone dancing and having a great time! If you’re going to have a band at your event, make it The Class!”
-Kate M.
“The Class was fantastic to work with. Was very challenging for us to find a band for our wedding, and once we found the Class, we never looked back. Great band for the value and would work with them again in a heartbeat.”
-Brandon T.
“Gabe! I don’t think I’ll be able to thank you enough – you guys were INCREDIBLE!!! You rocked Valerie and our first dance How Long Will I Love You. Truly thank you for giving us the best night of our lives thus far. The music was everything we could have hoped for and more. Everyone raved about how amazing you guys were. My only wish is that we could rewind to the beginning of the reception and do it all over again (not kidding). Thank you again for all your help leading up to the wedding and absolutely crushing it the night of.”
-Jacki R.
“Book The Class Band NOW! No need to look any further. Their professionalism, musicianship, and ease to work with made a decision we were so happy to make. I can’t begin to tell you how many of our guests said things like “best band ever.” And it was true, from playing the processional to MCing the toasts to the perfect volume levels during the reception, if I could give The Class Band higher than 5 stars I would. Great mix of music and each song they did showed their talent level. The saxophonist even gave my nephew (a young inspiring player) tips during one of the breaks. As I said on top, book them now, you’ll be so thankful you did.”
-Peter H.
“In a word, outstanding. Stand out musicianship. Understanding of the context and the event. Seamless. Perfect. Truly everything that you would want. And all of the guests said the same.”
-Brad B.
“The Class Band is amazing! Gabe worked with us leading up to our wedding day and answered all of our questions. Their list of songs is long and covered every genre and vibe we wanted. Most importantly, this band sounds great. They are tight and talented. I highly recommend them for a wedding or any event for that matter.”
-Bobby B.
“Extremely talented musicians who are very professional. Friendly and accommodating the class received many compliments and requests to continue playing. They really kept our party going.”
-Amy P.
Working with Gabe and the band leading up to our event was a breeze, and then when the big day came, they were equally extremely talented and professional. They were very enthusiastic about learning a couple of songs for us in advance, and kept the party going all night long. Highly recommend adding a sax and a female vocalist if its in your budget!
-Eva L.
“Great band! We booked them for our wedding this March! Looked high and low ans Very professional, talented and easy to work with! All our guests were raving about them. Our wedding planner was very impressed and she has seen a ton of bands. They came on time (drove all the way to La Quinta for us), were willing to work with our budget and had an enormous repertoire of songs. Would recommend to anyone and book them in the future! Thank you The Class!”
-Oksana G
“The Class was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding! Gabe and the entire band were extremely professional and highly accommodating to our special requests. My husband and I received nothing but positive feedback regarding their talent, song choices, overall look, professionalism… everything! We will definitely be referring them to everyone who asks! Gabe and The Class made our special day even that much more magical.”
-Liz P.
“What can I say except WOW! My husband and I searched long and hard for the perfect band for our wedding. Both of us are musicians and just extremely passionate about the artistry of music so to say we were picky is an understatement. The Class Band made our wedding one for the books! Their talent, energy and song selection were on point and working with them was an absolute pleasure especially Gabe. We have received an overwhelming response from our wedding and many of the compliments have been about you all both ceremony and reception. Thank you for taking our dream and turning it in to a reality.”
-Caroline C.
“If i could give 10 stars, i would. From start to finish this band was amazing. Not only did a large percentage of our guests ask about them but the photographer, videographer and even venue host asked about them. I hope to have another event where i can book this band. Absolutely amazing job for us and made the wedding incredible.”
-John C.
“The Class was amazing and our guests could not stop raving about the band. The celebration was perfect and the dance floor was full the whole time. Gabe Burt was a great communicator and helped to make sure our sound system was perfect for the venue. I’d hire this group over again and highly recommend them for any event, especially a wedding where you want the bride & groom, as well as all the family & friends to feel special. The Class is the best!!”
-Sue P.
“Fantastic! They were great to work with, very prompt, responsive, and accommodating to ensure our event was AMAZING! Our guest are still talking about how great there song selections were talented they are. They were the perfect addition to make our night perfect.”
-Kristen W.
“I am so glad that I chose The Class to play at my wedding. Because we are from and currently live in Texas, we did not know the first thing about picking a band to play at our wedding in Malibu. I ran across The Class on Style Me Pretty just by luck, and I sure am glad I did. They did an amazing job and kept our guests entertained all night with a wide variety of music chosen by us and by them. They learned two songs for us and came up with so many ideas for other elements of the reception. Gabe, the contact person and band member, is creative and professional. I highly recommend The Class!”
-Lindsey S.
“Great professional band. Sounds and quality were perfect fit for the venue. All the guests commented they thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. Gabe, the band leader, was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend.”
-Bruce M
“The Class is a one of a kind band. They did such an incredible job at our wedding! We gave them a list of songs we liked and they incorporated them and more to create such a cool setting. They helped make it so people of all ages were up out of their chairs and dancing!! They also did an incredible job at the ceremony, and helped make everything so special. They even booked our wedding even though the day after they had to drive 8+ hours for another wedding! These guys are not just talented, but dedicated, cooperative, and professional. Check them out and hire them, you won’t regret it!”
-Dominic S.
“Gabe and The Class Band were the perfect band for our wedding! They were very easy to communicate with, and our guests couldn’t say enough good things about them. I highly recommend these guys for any event!”
Juli G.
“The Class is unequivocally the easiest group to work with and best possible band experience you could hope for! They played our wedding this weekend and from the first song through the end of the night (and into the next few days), our guests raved about how amazing the group was. They have fantastic range, playing enjoyable background music when it’s a quieter time, to getting everyone up dancing and having fun for hours! And the “hours” part is very true– I don’t know how they do it, but there was *very* little break time all night. I won’t ever do band/entertainment research again– I’ll (try to) book The Class for anything in the future. Thanks, guys!”
-Tony C.
“The Class was amazing and we are so pleased! Everyone had an absolute blast and danced all night – this was one of the most important factors to us so we were really pleased. They knew all the right music to play, and people kept commenting that we chose the best music when in fact we only chose a portion 🙂 We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great band to dance to that does excellent covers with their own style. We hope to see them again some day! Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!”
-Jade and Tom
‘From the beginning Gabe was incredibly responsive. These guys are experts at what they do. We received so many amazing comments about how great they were. My favorite vendor by far. Highly recommend. For their price point, I don’t think you’ll find anything that comes close. We added the female singer and got a lot of compliments on her as well.”
-Robert F
“They had it all together……I didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. Great talent with a classy look and attitude. All my guests enjoyed them and gave endless complements, including what great stamina they had. Only problem if you wanna call it that ,is I could’t stop dancing ! Had to take off my shoes and just keep dancing rather than talk with anyone! Wonderful band, great fun!”
-Marlin Z.
“Check out The Class’s song list on their website. If you like these songs, this is the band for you. They will play great covers of these songs and they will do it with enthusiasm and, well, class. For us, the investment in having this professional band made the difference between our wedding being amateur and our wedding being a great, top-notch party for all of our guests. I got many comments from guests about the band. They all said, “great wedding and GREAT band!” Also, Gabe was very easy to communicate with. He was responsive and his friendly messages kept me at ease throughout the entire process. Book these guys. You won’t regret it.”
Rob C.
“It was such a pleasure to work with The Class for our wedding reception – our guests packed the dance floor all night long! Gabe was incredibly responsive over email, which made the planning easy. He was very accommodating to all of our requests (for example, we asked them to play the Hora and made minor changes to our initial plan late in the game) – and he was always professional and helpful. He had us pick a selection of songs (in our case, mostly oldies) from the band’s diverse list, which the band used to choose a set list that was perfect for our crowd. It was a great evening – our guests were full of compliments for the band & I definitely recommend them!”
-Andrea S.
“You can read all the reviews on the web, but hiring a band you’ve never heard play before requires a leap of faith. We decided to make the leap and it proved the be the best decision of our wedding. The music was spectacular and all of our guests raved about the band. They were incredibly dynamic and played all the right songs at all the right times. Their communication through the process was outstanding and all of them are incredibly nice and friendly. Don’t hesitate, don’t look any further, just hire them. You will absolutely get what you pay for, and more, with these guys.”
-Quique N.
“Having The Class band perform at our party was our privilege! These guys are a definite “class act”. Wow I was expecting a lot and they surpassed my expectations! Great playlist to choose from and they make you feel like you are a part of the process with choosing songs you want them to play and then on top of it they cater their break time song list to the same vibe so there is never a time at the party without music. We needed them to play at a sound level so we could all talk. No problem. Professional every step of the way, no drama, low maintenance and high caliber performance. These guys are the real deal and every one of them are super nice! Rock on!”
-Robert S.
“Going with a band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and The Class was phenomenal! My husband booked them a year and a half in advance and talked them up to all of our friends and family. We had them play during the procession/recession for our ceremony and throughout cocktail hour and the reception. They play a huge range of music from oldies to top 40 and did an amazing job keeping the energy up throughout the night. I have never seen so many people of so many ages on the dance floor at wedding. Now my husband gets to boast that he chose the best band around :)”
-Michelle T.
“The Class was one of the highlights of our wedding. My husband and I met dancing so we knew we wanted dancing and live music to be a central part of our event. I am lucky that Gabe, the leader of The Class, is my cousin. He and his band made a special trip to play at our wedding. Their song list is impressive, covering a diverse array of musical genres and time periods. We appreciated the opportunity to choose part of our song list while also giving the band the discretion to choose some songs to serve the needs of the audience in the moment. Gabe served as the MC as well, which he handled in a professional manner and helped us to stay on schedule. They are all excellent musicians and their energy and talent set a celebratory tone and kept people moving on the dance floor throughout the evening! Some of our family and friends commented afterwards that they have rarely danced in the past 30 (or more) years, but they had so much fun dancing our wedding. We highly recommend The Class!”
Anne P.
“We hired The Class Band to play at our daughter’s wedding reception this past weekend. They did not disappoint! Wow!!! I cannot tell you how many guests complimented our band choice. They had the dance floor packed until the bittersweet end at midnight. They left us all wanting more!!! Bravo, guys…you appealed to every generation at our weeding, young and old and we cannot thank you enough. You killed it!!!”
-Gina K.
“I love this band. They played at my wedding over the weekend and were a huge hit. Every guest I spoke with raved about their performances. Not only were their sets on-point, but they dressed very, very nicely. They fit in perfectly with the wedding’s vibe. I also appreciate that they worked the room and tried to get some interactive experiences happening. Gabe was also such a dream to work with; he is extremely accommodating and very supportive during the whole wedding song planning process. I’d highly recommend them for any event.”
-Jessica J.
“If I could give more stars to these guys, I would! I took on the task of booking living music for our wedding, and I am so glad I found “The Class Band”. From playing during the ceremony (the Coldplay riffs were a huge hit with my wife and my father in law!), to the first dances (which were extremely well done), to the fun filled dance atmosphere the rest of the night – they were simply amazing. Gabe and his team rocked it at our wedding, and everyone was raving about them at the end of the night. They truly helped make it a special day for my wife and I, and we can’t thank them enough for being a part of it.”
-Elliot T.
“LOVE LOVE LOVE working with The Class. From the pre-planning to the actual event- The Class was easy to work with, professional and delivered a great party. We hold an annual event every year and a majority of our attendees said this was the best party yet. This outstanding atmosphere was due largely to the awesome energy and talent of The Class. Thank you!”
-Barbara C.
“AMAZING!!!! We absolutely LOVED The Class Band!!!!! Everyone was dancing and having a great time! They are so professional and talented!!!! Would highly recommend them for any event!”
-Angie P.
“You guys were awesome and everyone – and I do mean everyone (e.g. our single rowdy friends; our boring married friends; our rowdy married friends; our parents; our parents’ friends; etc) – couldn’t stop talking about “how great the band was” and how much fun they had. Like Jacqueline said, music is a very special part of our relationship (and lives in general), so this was a big deal to us and we couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. Back when I was wringing my hands about it, you said to just trust you and go with it, and you were 100% right on that. Thanks again for everything and putting up with all of our weird requests.
Double high fives for the Tyrone cover. You guys knocked that one waaay out of the park, and I will always remember that as a personal highlight.”
-Martin H.
“The Class is the whole package! All of them were extremely professional and just really good guys. Very easy to work with and I would recommend them to anyone, whether it be for a wedding or a company event.”
-Ryan B.
“The Class were simply a class act and made our wedding so special and fun. The dance floor was full the whole evening and so many guests remarked how amazing they were. They did a fantastic job of incorporating music from different genres and eras and not taking over the party. Would highly recommend!”
-Dan S.
“If you want to make your event special, call these guys. We hired The Class for our Wedding this past Nov. I reached out and Gabe responded within a few hours. Gabe took the time to listen to our hopes for the evening, the primary being that people would just get up and dance. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, he helped us work out what the night would sound like. The set list blended contemporary and older classics that everyone could dance to. Mission accomplished. Everyone danced and everyone loved The Class. Gabe was a pleasure to work with, and my wife’s maid of honor has even hired them for her upcoming wedding. I look forward to dancing with them again!”
-Mark M.
“First off, We would like to thank Gabe, Ed, Robert, and Andy for traveling over 6.5 hours to perform at our wedding! Knowing that we were busy trying to ‘herd cats’, they immediately went to work setting up and getting familiar with the venue. Gabe stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process and made sure our expectations were being met. The music flowed seamlessly and we received so many compliments from guests. Kudos to ‘The Class’ for making our night something we and our guests will never forget!?
– Ben and Jen L.
“This is our second year in a row having The Class play at our company holiday party. We added the saxophone this time and loved it! Gabe and the band are so talented and fun, everyone always has an amazing time.”
-Lisa H.
“The Class was completely perfect for our wedding. They nailed everything – set list, style of play, their look, and their energy. It was a black tie wedding but we wanted a band that could put on a killer dance party for a relatively younger crowd (late 20s). Additionally, they were extremely easy to deal with (VERY responsive, accommodating, etc.) and were great guys overall. I highly recommend them for a wedding.”
-Troy P.
“As far as cover bands go, there are good bands and bad bands. The Class isn’t a good band, or a bad band, they are a GREAT band. This is my third experience with the Class [for a fraternity formal event] and they never cease to amaze me. Being a cover band it is sometimes difficult to entertain because the whole idea is you are playing someone else’s song. However, what the Class does exceptionally well is play their own interpretation of the songs. Classic songs now have a new flair because they are such talented musicians. The Class is the best cover band available and you will not be disappointed.”
-Denis
“The Class made my wedding an event to remember. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Very talented, clearly experienced, and consummate professionals. Front man Gabe was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. I’m looking forward to throwing another party featuring The Class! I’m glad this site [weddingwire.com] asks for a value rating because in an industry where value is hard to come by, The Class delivers. If you’ve been at this for literally any length of time, you’ll know that (at least in Southern California) there are some pathetic wedding bands that would probably work for dinner and gas money, and there are some cheesy, over-produced, over-choreographed bands that want to charge you $15,000 but don’t worry because that includes a laser show, costume change, and three background dancers. The Class is quite different. They bring a great sound, high-energy, and a sharp look to your wedding. Gabe is great to work with. His experience prompts him to ask questions you never thought about. He makes a real effort to get the details right. The whole band are true professionals. We went with five pieces, including a sax, which I would recommend because it was a really full sound. For four hours, The Class kept our guests – aged three to 70 plus – on the dance floor.”
-Anthony D.
“Our company event turned out awesome in large part to The Class. Everyone was asking where we found the fantastic band. Gabe was super easy to work with and extremely responsive. You won’t regret booking this band!”
-Rhonda M.
“Everybody danced, everybody asked how we found them. They learned multiple songs for our ceremony and first dance. They helped us craft a unique ring bearer bit. Total professionals, super nice guys. Tip: add the saxophonist for sure. The dude is top notch.”
-Chett H.
“Gabe and crew were excellent to deal with and handled all our requests with enthusiasm. My guests loved them, especially the dancers and the musicians which says there guys know how to play. I am going to look for another occasion to hire them again because I enjoyed working with them so much.”
-Adam M.
“Gabe, along with the rest of the band were outstanding! Throughout the whole planning process Gabe was always responsive to my request and questions. Both my husband and I felt extremely comfortable booking with them and there was never a doubt that we made the right decision. The band learned two new songs for us and performed excellently! A few days before the wedding we had a few sound issues and Gabe came to our rescue as well. All of our guests were raving about the band and said they had a ton of fun dancing to their music. If you’re looking for a band who can play a wide range of genres, is reliable and professional, this is your band!”
-Tracey G.
“From day 1 before we even booked them, Gabe was very responsive. He answered all my e-mails within 24 hours and answered all my questions thoroughly and honestly. On the day of the wedding their talent shined. They are amazing musicians. I myself am a musician and several of my invited guests were trained and accomplished musicians and song writers. Everyone raved about how much they loved the band. Their variety of music is incredible and their talent and skill are amazing. I would recommend The Class to anyone looking for a band that can play a wide variety of music.”
-Lisa H.
“The Class performed at our wedding and we were really pleased that they were a part of our day. Gabe dealt with my wife from the beginning and she alway commented on how he was awesome to work with. I couldn’t agree more. We had an eclectic mix of people at our wedding and rather than put together a play list, Gabe said that he would feel out the vibe. I honestly wasn’t sure that anyone would dance before the band started playing but throughout the reception, the dance floor was packed. The guys looked sharp on stage and everyone had a great time listening to their music. They were a great band that really delivered the vibe that we were looking for.”
Jeremy S.
“If I could give 10 stars I would! We hired the Class to play at our wedding in San Diego. Gabe was a joy to work with. He was professional, organized, friendly and responsive. The Class’s repertoire is extensive! On the day, they were early, set up without any issues – they looked fantastic and their sets were seamless. They played brilliantly; my husband and I were thrilled with the sound quality and obvious skill with which the band plays. They accommodated all our requests – and truly set the mood for the event. Everyone danced through to the last song!”
-Katherine W.
“I found The Class after wading through way too many terrible “wedding band” websites with 1990s graphics and promises of costume changes and backup dancers. I was about to give up when I Googled “non-cheesy wedding band that just plays great music” (or something), and found them. Well, this band is so good I almost don’t even want to tell you so they will be available should I ever have another giant party and want amazing live music. They were so easy to work with, played the music we liked, and covered a wide range of styles. When I wasn’t dancing, I was listening to my guests rave about them. Stop searching and HIRE THEM. You can thank me later.”
-Nora C.
“The most entertaining, talented, accommodating, genuinely kind and incredibly fun group you will ever meet. Such a pleasure to work with. All of our guests had a blast, and were out on the dance floor the entire evening!”
-Ambra R.
“The Class were flawless! They played an amazing set and took very few breaks which kept the atmosphere/party going until the end. Gabe was very responsive to questions and made everything go so smoothly. I give them my highest recommendation, they were perfect.”
-Ryan B.
“All of the positive reviews of The Class are spot on. They accommodated all of our requests, did an amazing job playing our first dance and were able to read the environment and adjust accordingly. Everyone at the reception loved them and we keep hearing compliments about them from our friends and family. They have a fantastic playlist and we hope to use them again in the future!”
– Lauren H.
“The Class Band and Gabe, who was our primary contact, were professional and very easy to work with. They were able to navigate patiently through the many opinions and ideas of bride, groom, mother of bride..,and provided lots of good feedback and guidance. It certainly showed on the wedding day. They made our reception memorable for our guests and two weeks later they are all still talking about how fun it was. Great music, a great vibe and a terrific song selection that appealed to everyone. Our guests did not stop dancing until the band’s last song. I highly recommend them for wedding receptions or any event. You can’t go wrong with this band.”
-Elena B.
“One word: AMAZING! My wedding was 2 weeks ago and I asked for a “giant, classy party”…The Class delivered. These guys are true professionals, and they were the easiest vendor to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. I was determined to find the “perfect” band because live entertainment really adds to the festivities (versus just having a DJ). My husband and I had almost given up hope after hours of searching on the internet, until I finally stumbled upon The Class. They are a 4-piece band, but they can customize your experience depending on what you’re looking for- we skipped the sax-o-mo-phone addition and added a female vocalist to the mix, and she was great! Gabe was our go-to guy, and from the get-go, he was very responsive, flexible, and organized. The groom had a few last-minute surprises up his sleeve, and Gabe worked with him (in secret) to pull everything off. In fact, we threw multiple last-minute changes at the band, and they took it all in stride. HIGHLY recommended, don’t hesitate to book them!”
-Krista
“The Class are WONDERFUL! They were super professional, both before and during the wedding. I never worried about a thing – Gabe was always proactive about planning and ironing out details ahead of time. He always got back to me quickly, whether it was about a specific song request or allowing a family member to play with them during the reception. The best part is that these are generally chill guys who we were happy to have at our wedding! Yes, there are a lot of tacky wedding bands out there. But these guys make playing weddings cool. If you are looking for a tastefully hipster-ish band that plays great music and is super professional, these are your guys!”
-Christine G.
“If I could give these guys 10 out of 5 stars, I would. With our wedding, like every wedding out there, we ran into random problems, whether it be a miscommunication with wedding coordinators, or a logistical issue with the venue and rental companies. However, The Class contributed to absolutely none of these problems. From the first call I had with them to the end of the last note played at the reception, these guys were all pros. Most importantly, they are just incredible musicians. Being a musician myself, I thought they sounded amazing. They even learned two songs for us to perfection. So easy to work with, and such cool guys too. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”
-Martin D.
“Great guys, great music! Out of 150 guest at our wedding we received 150 compliments on the band. The Class is a very apt name for such a classy, fun bunch. Gabe, who was my point of contact before the wedding, was always cool, calm, collected, and personable. They were accommodating and learned an adaptation of a song for our first dance. We had some issues with our DJ (who we hired to fill the band’s breaks) trying to take over, but Gabe took charge and relieved a lot of stress for us for the two days prior. From kids to grandparents, every one was on the dance floor. They really know how to keep it light and fun. I could not recommend them enough.”
– Jeremy P.
“We had our wedding at a winery in Santa Ynez and The Class Band could not have been a better fit. They were professional, accommodating and sounded amazing! We had them play an acoustic set at the ceremony as well as the four piece band at the reception and both were phenomenal. Our first dance song was not a well known one and it was by no means an easy one to learn, but we could not have been happier with the version they produced. They even let us borrow their mic set up for our officiant and speeches during dinner. We really could not have asked for a better ensemble than The Class Band. Thanks Gabe!!”
-Brady R.
“The Class Band was a true Class Act from start to finish. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, they were extremely attentive in making sure everything was prepared for the upcoming event. On the day of the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The band handled all of our music (both live and recorded) as well as the PA for announcements, etc. Their live performance was outstanding in every way. They played the songs that we requested and they knew the right order to play them in. I was happy to see so many of my guests dancing and enjoying themselves. The feedback we got was all extremely positive. We highly recommend these guys to anyone!”
-Jeff S.
“The Class were nothing but class. That may be corny but I just honestly could not be happier with how my wedding turned out and so much of that has to do with these guys. We had a small wedding, 70 people, in a somewhat small space outdoors and they played it perfectly. Not too loud, not too quiet, the songs were perfect and they kept the atmosphere fun and upbeat the whole night. The band was so good to work with leading up to the wedding. They were responsive to every question I had and really wanted to work with us to make the wedding exactly what we wanted. They played a few requests for us that weren’t on our song list including our first dance. The best!”
-Page A.
“I can’t say enough good things about these guys. We booked them for our reception in Sept. They were easy to communicate with before hand and really responsive. We talked a couple of times to Gabe as we were trying to get some sort of song list. We had a couple specifics, but ultimately left it largely up to them; they played a great mix for everyone. It should be said that this was the weekend of over 100 degree weather and the venue had fans but no AC. They still rocked it out with no complaints. We continued to get compliments all night from guests. I can’t recommend them enough. This was my first gigmasters booking, and I am really thankful for finding The Class.”
-James S.
“The Class band was phenomenal! Great music and vocals! Our guests enjoyed the performance, we received a lot of great comments about the band after the wedding. It was a painless process to talk to Gabe and coordinate the song list and our special requests! Great pleasure to work with! Thank you!”
-Viktoria and Bryan
“This band was nothing short of fantastic. They had just the right presence for the wedding reception — not too overpowering and not too subdued. They created a fun and upbeat atmosphere, and the songs and performance were great. Very accommodating and fun to work with. All of our guests had high praise to offer for the band. I definitely recommend them! Look no further and just book ’em now, son.”
– Preston S.
“This band was the perfect band for our wedding reception. Having a live band of their caliber really brought the guests to the dance floor and there was a connection the whole night that you just don’t get with a DJ. I would highly recommend The Class for a wedding or other large party. My guests could not stop raving about these guys!”
– Kate S.
“We first had the pleasure of dancing to The Class at a friend’s wedding, the guys were awesome and the night turned into a huge dance party. We immediately got their information after the reception and put a hold for our upcoming company holiday party. We had always used a DJ in the past, but wanted to try something different and it was a HIT! Everything from the set list (which we left entirely to them, and they nailed it) to the amazing vocals and overall vibe, it was all top notch. Hoping to throw another event very soon so we can work with them again!”
Lisa S.
“They were fantastic for our wedding. Everyone loved them!”
-Cara O.
“Awesome band! First off, they sound great – I received many compliments from guests about how great the band was. Second – I loved their attire – suits with black ties – adds a touch of class to a wedding when the band looks nice. They totally accommodated my requests for no cheesy MCing too. Highly, highly recommend these guys for weddings!”
-Chris A.
“They played at our wedding and made it such a fun party. The guests had a great time
and many asked where we found the band. They will not disappoint!”
-Winston and Pam
“These guys are incredibly fun, very talented, and made our wedding reception a total blast. They have a very diverse repertoire of songs from which to choose, and cover them all with perfection. I appreciated greatly their flexibility and attention to what we needed done during the reception. I strongly recommend them. You will love working with them, and your guests will have a great time.”
-Josh B.
“My wife & I couldn’t have been more pleased with the band. We had them for over 6 hours at our wedding and they rocked it! They went above and beyond. We asked if one of them could play during our ceremony which they agreed to, and a week before our wedding they added another guitar player for FREE because they thought it would sound better. It’s little things like this that make a vendor stand out. We also didn’t make it easy on them. The room was tight and they had to be pressed up a against the wall. However, it in no way affected their performance. Everyone was raving about them all night. You won’t find a better band for a better price in SoCal!”
– Brad P.
“This band made our night even more memorable. They were professional and extremely accommodating. They even learned some songs at our request. Our guests had nothing but compliments for these guys and kept asking us where we found them. We are so happy that they were a part of our night.”
– Dana D.
“Thank you for such a great performance. You are all very talented musicians. It made things less stressful when we picked some of our favorite songs and you added songs you knew would fit together. Everyone had a blast dancing, especially me. It was so amazing that you learned our first dance song just for us. Thank you again for such an awesome job and we would love to hire you for any other events we will have in the future.”
-Ryan and Veronika
“Gabe and the band were terrific for our party of 130 discerning guests. We received nothing, but compliments about how good they were. They were very accommodating to our requests and booking the band turned out to be one of the easiest tasks to complete because they made it so easy. We would recommend them to anyone who is having a party or wedding. They are talented, professional, and best of all, nice guys.”
-Peter M.
“We had a great evening celebrating my husband’s Birthday with friends and the band played a huge role in that. The Class was the perfect band for our celebration and was more than happy to play the music we requested. They were easy to work with and very accommodating – great group of guys!!”
-Barb R.
“I hired them for our company’s annual holiday party last month, and I’m looking forward to the next event I get to organize (so that I can hire them again!). Over the last few years, I had become accustomed to hiring DJs to provide the entertainment for our holiday party event; so this year I thought it was time to try something new. My job then was to find the perfect cover band to provide a dance party for our 200 guests of varying age groups and musical tastes; and they unquestionably delivered. Initiating contact with the band and communicating my ideas, needs and set list preferences was a breeze. Gabe made himself available to me immediately via email, phone calls and text messages, and he contacted the venue directly to ensure that they would have the minimum requirements at their disposal to set up and play. Our communication was effective, professional and had me feeling reassured that I was hiring the right band for our party. Gabe was more than willing to have me select the set list song by song; at the same time, he was confident with more flexibility to play songs based on what they saw the crowd was enjoying. At the end of the day, I asked them to play a few songs specifically, and left the rest of the night up to them. The end result was a genius mix of cross-genre favorites (Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?”; CCR’s “Proud Mary”; Madonna’s “Get into the Groove”; The Cure’s “Lovesong”; MGMT’s “Electric Feel” to name a few). These guys played our event for five great hours (the first two consisting of cocktail-hour lounge music). They provide killer vocals, musicianship and an overall sound while offering the most competitive rates compared to the other bands I had been researching; we got quality and so much value by hiring them. Our event was a blast. It was held at a posh restaurant in Santa Monica on a Saturday night, with red carpet treatment, top shelf open bar and a gourmet spread. It was a beautiful setting, and they looked very sharp in it. Their presence itself added the perfect touch for our classy event. In the days following, our guests would rave and express gratitude for the party– it was a great time: and the praise for the band was unanimous. They were a total hit. I am happy and grateful to them for helping us to make our event so memorable.”
-Manuel G.
“We’ve used The Class three times now [for fraternity dance parties], and each time we’ve been totally happy. They just added a fourth member, a keyboardist which made things even more fun this go around. The Class is easy to work with, well-priced, and most importantly, they sound great. They also look great, wearing suits to their events (or not if you decide). Everyone at our event had a great time, and I’d be very confident recommending The Class to friends for events.”
-Brennan V.
“We booked this band for a community fundraiser. They were very professional, easy to work with and accommodated all of our needs. The event drew politicians, educators, and community members all of varying ages and backgrounds. They managed to entertain them all with their extensive song list and infectious energy. We are definitely booking them again and making them part of the annual event. Don’t hesitate to book them for your next party or event. You will not be disappointed!”
-Neysa B.
“We hired the band to play at our nonprofit agency’s Casino Night fundraiser. We provided them with a loose timeline/outline of the event and suggested what type of music to play during each segment. They accommodated our requests perfectly, played a great variety of music, and increased the energy of the music as the gambling wound down to give attendees an opportunity to dance. Everyone had a great time and raved about the music. I would definitely recommend them.”
– Pam P.
“This band played at a backyard party [wedding] at our home and they were awesome! Throughout the whole process they were on top of it and very professional – an absolute pleasure to work with. The guys were all friendly and extremely talented. They did an amazing job and we continue to receive so many compliments from all our guests. Everyone had a great time dancing the whole night – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and can’t wait to hire them again. Thank you for making our night!!”
– Stephanie P.
“I honestly want to have another party just for the sole purpose of having these guys play again!”
– Jason S.
“They were fantastic. They played our Memorial Day Block Party and were incredible. There was a large variety of music and each of the members had their own sound which contributed to an outstanding band. We will definitely invite them back. Incredible!!”
– Dwayne N.
“They were absolutely amazing. We had such a great time at our event because of them. They played so many fun songs and did everything I asked of them. I highly recommend them for any kind of event that you might be having. Stop looking for another band and book these guys!”
– Spencer L.
“This group of professionals are amazing! They sound great they look great and they have great attitudes! We can’t say enough and we are so lucky to have got our money’s worth just by searching for a band in the internet (youtube). We will definitely recommend them and can not wait to hire them again for our next party!”
– Cindy S.
“We stumbled upon these guys at a local bar/restaurant and really enjoyed their set list. Decided to book them for our son’s graduation party and were really impressed. Great communication during the whole process, showed up on time and were all ready to go when the party started. The perfect band for background music or to get the dance floor going. Adults of all ages will love their tunes and their 3 really good guys!”
– Jeff F.
“This was our second time hiring the band and once again, they were great! They are very professional but know how to have an awesome time. They are very easy to work with and everybody they interact with always has a positive experience. They are so much fun and we can’t wait to hire them again!”
– Spencer L.
“They were so easy to reach & discuss the vision for our wedding. They played for the ceremony with acoustic guitars, cocktail hour with a grand piano provided by the venue & reception with all members of their band. They were versatile & most accommodating with all requests. They learned a few new selections but already knew the type of music we wanted. We would certainly use them again.”
-Barbara R.
“They have been playing at our bar for over a year now and they are not only a crowd favorite but also a staff favorite! Always on time and always sound awesome! Definitely a favorite around here!”
