We had The Last Nites as our wedding band on 8-9-24 and could not have been happier with them! Our guests of all ages were on the dance floor all night as the band absolutely crushed some oldies, some classics, and some modern jams. Our guests kept telling us how electric the energy in the room was all night. The Last Nites also had to learn our first dance song and did an amazing job with it. They were accommodating every step of the way during the planning process. Could not recommend The Last Nites more, and we can't wait to see them again in the NYC area!
