Free Spirit was truly wonderful. Elevated an already wonderful evening to perfection. They were so engaging and seemed to know exactly the right music to keep our guests on the floor at all times. One of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process.

Free Spirit

I can't tell you how many people were raving about the band and how much fun the wedding was. The band was excellent and we especially loved how engaging they were with all of our guests. The music was stellar and they did a great job playing the kind of music we were looking for. We'll definitely get your name out to others, you guys were awesome!

From the beginning of wedding planning, I knew the band choice was my number one priority. I was referred to check out Free Spirit by a family friend, and I am so glad I did. From working with Sam Hill Entertainment’s band coordinator (Felicia) to book the band, to conversing with Free Spirit’s band leader (Mike) to create the production, to meeting and dancing with Free Spirit’s lead singer (Angela), everything was more than what I hoped for in a live band for our celebration. You can truly tell Free Spirit not only has talent, but also has a passion for entertaining. I am incredibly thankful to them for all their hard work and the memories I will have forever!

We had an amazing night thanks to an amazing band! Free Spirt provided entertainment that really made for a memorable night for both my husband and me, and for our guests! After our wedding, the first thing guests commented on was how excellent our band was and were impressed they were singing everything from Whitney Houston to Chapell Roan. The band members were so kind and professional, and also did an excellent job serving as our MC for the night. They were flexible when we had to modify our schedule on the fly due to our officiant arriving late, but they adjusted quickly and kept the party going! We really can't recommend Free Spirit enough, and want to thank them for making our wedding amazing!

Free Spirt was amazing! We were so happy with how they performed across our ceremony and reception. We received so many compliments from our guests about the band's performance across a variety of genres. They kept the energy up the entire time, and I was so happy that they accommodated all of our song requests. Giving Alex the chance to play as part of the band was also one of the most memorable parts of the night! They absolutely carried the energy of the event! We were all so pleased! I'm so glad we chose Free Spirit as the entertainment for our wedding.

I want to extend my heartfelt thank you for the incredible performance you delivered at our wedding. Your band was absolutely phenomenal, and you played a significant role in making our special day truly unforgettable. Your set list was perfectly curated to capture the mood of each moment, from the romantic first dance to the highenergy dance music that got everyone up off their feet. Your ability to read the room and keep the party going was nothing short of impressive. Each one of the Free Spirit members is incredibly talented, and together, you create an experience that is both engaging and entertaining. The vocals were stunning, the instrumentals were spoton, and the overall sound quality was exceptional. We have received many compliments from guests about your performance, and it's clear that you left a lasting impression on everyone. Your mashups of songs were especially cool and you were all very interactive with the guests which made everyone's experience more fun! Moreover, your professionalism throughout the entire process, from booking to the horns leading the guests to the after party, was greatly appreciated. You were accommodating and easy to work with in every interaction. Everything we asked for was included in our evening. Thank you once again for being part of our wedding day. We will certainly be recommending Free Spirit to all our friends and family for future events. We hope to see you all again soon!!

I cannot express how happy we were with Free Spirit. Free Spirit was an absolute dream for our wedding! They were more than just a band; they were orchestrators of pure magic from the ceremony to the reception. Every song they played was not just on point but beyond, and they effortlessly gauged the vibe of the room, ensuring the entertainment was exceptional throughout the entire evening. Mike was the epitome of professionalism and excellence. He took care of every detail in advance of the big day with precision, ensuring that not a single request of ours was missed. If you want your wedding to be remembered as the party of the decade, don't hesitateÑbook Free Spirit immediately, if not sooner.

FAQs

Find answers to your questions about our bands and booking process right here.

What is the cost to book a band for an event?

We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.

Does a band provide all their instruments and sound equipment?

Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.

Do bands provide lighting?

All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.

How long can I expect the band to play?

Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.

How far in advance should I book a band?

Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
