Highly, highly recommend! I was fortunate enough to book Sweet Harmony for piano and violin for our cocktail hour 2 months before our 2/4/22 wedding and it was one of the best choices we could have made! Having the live music really just helped elevate the already incredible atmosphere. Our musicians Tina and Jeremy were so sweet, so talented, so professional and just perfect! Everyone we interacted with was so kind, from Karen who took our inquiry right on up to the owner Tara. Booking was seamless and Tara was amazing, responsive and so easy to work with! We even added an extra half hour (our cocktail hour was extended) like a week and a half if not less before our wedding and she made it happen. Truly could not recommend Sweet Harmony more!

This band was fantastic!! They played for my ceremony (guitarist), cocktail hour (three pieces), and reception (8 piece band). They were definitely the highlight of the night! They never said no to a single request we gave them - including playing a piece written by my own grandmother. I received so many compliments about their performance, and they kept everyone up and dancing all night. Our only issue with them is that they started our father/daughter dance song too quickly so we were thrown off, but no one seemed to notic!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

We got married 5/20/23. I started the search for a band early on as I knew I wanted one with experience, talent, and good reviews. After months of searching I finally stumbled upon Top Tier. I quickly could tell this was the band. Their promotional videos did a great job showcasing their talent and wide variety of music. From slow beautiful ceremony music to rocking reception jams- they truly can do it all…and very well! JD is the main contact for booking and was so helpful, professional and responsive throughout the process. Planning a wedding is stressing is stressful! JD asked what we wanted for our day and made it happen. Our dance floor was packed all night! I mentioned to JD that I’d love to get a conga line going- he picked the perfect song and even brought his guitar out on the dance floor! Needless to say we had an amazing conga line and evening thanks to Top Tier. If you’re searching for a quality band that is experienced and reliable I can’t recommend them enough!

Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.
