Live Wire was AMAZING!!!! We were very particular about the music for our wedding. We wanted a band, but didn't want the more typical wedding music. We wanted more contemporary music that would keep the partying going for the entire reception. I was extremely nervous about the music, but Live Wire exceeded my expectations. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We had them learn a song for our first dance and it turned out perfect. Our guests were all raving about the band. I HIGHLY recommend Live Wire!

Last Saturday night LiveWire was the band for our daughter and son-in-laws wedding. Everyone who helped celebrate with us is still talking about this band. At one point in the night, I looked around for Adele and Josh Grobin, I thought they were in the room singing, that's how unbelievable this band is. We have no table pictures because every one of our guests were on the dance floor. They played every Genre of music from the lindey, to Motown or top 25 hits, you name it, they played it. I have never heard a band , better than this one. Thank you so much livewire. You rocked the party for our children and all our guests concurred that your were AMAZING, thank you, thank you , thank you, The Dinzes-Buckley families

> Thank you!!! Anthony

Live Wire Entertainment made our entire wedding. The dance floor was packed all night with all of our friends as well as families from both sides. They rocked it all night. The last two hours were a crazy dance party and all of our guests were asking who they were at the brunch the next morning. I would love to go to another wedding they play to dance with them again! Book this band!!! Thanks again to everyone !

After taking our pictures at our reception venue my husband and I went upstairs to freshen up while our guests were enjoying cocktail hour. When we came downstairs to join our guests we noticed that the band was set up but no one was around and it sounded like they had a CD playing. We were worried because we had expressly asked that ONLY live music be played and no CDs be used. My husband went around behind the french doors to where the band was set up and there was a man playing a keyboard and singing live! He sounded so much like the real thing we thought it was a CD playing! They just had the keyboardist singing while our guests were outside for cocktail hour. Once the reception started the band got even better! They played the whole night and many guests commented that they really did sound just like the real artists. Guests also have said Live Wire is the best live band they have ever heard. \r\n\r\nI was a little worried because I had never heard Live Wire play in person (I booked them based on reviews & their demo CD) but my husband and I could not have asked for better entertainment for our reception. They learned our 1st dance song perfectly & kept everyone dancing the whole night. Thank you Live Wire for making my wedding night one I will never forget! I would 100% recommend Live Wire to ANYONE looking for a live band. We had the 7-piece band.

The band was fantastic. We recommend them to everyone in the tri-state area looking for a fun band. The vocalists were all great. They nailed our first dance song, which was a Billy Joel song. The singers came out onto the dance floor and got our guests involved and made sure everyone had a great time! They played a few songs we didn't request (Gangnam for example..UGH), but they went to their ipads to nail a song that was requested during the reception. We are hoping our friends choose them for a future wedding so we can see them again.

Best wedding band ever!! It's been a few weeks since our wedding and people are still talking about how great the band was! People danced all night - the dance floor was never empty. We told them what kind of music we like and thought our guests would like and they took if from there. It was great mix for old and young! I hope I am at another event where they play because they were that much fun!

After doing some research online, my fiance and I decided on booking LiveWire for our wedding on August 11, 2012. With the band being out of New York and us living in Massachusetts, I have to admit, I was a bit nervous booking a band I had never met with or heard in person. Result: They were AWESOME! Even better than I could have imagined! Each and every song sounded like the the artist was right there in the room singing to us. Unlike many bands/DJ's who just play a list of songs without paying much attention to their audience, LiveWire kept the crowd going ALL NIGHT. I have received many compliments since the wedding and I'd like to send a special Thank You for taking the trip to CT and performing for us that evening. BEST. BAND. EVER.

Live Wire was an amazing band. Words cannot describe how much they added to our reception. All our guests raved about the band non-stop and they thoroughly enjoyed our wedding reception because of Live Wire. The band learned the songs that we asked and played all our requests. The maitre d' at our venue also told us that he had not heard a band this good play at their venue, that to me was a wonderful compliment. As I bride I danced continuously throughout the reception. Live Wire truly helped us create a dream come true. There is no doubt in my mind that we would have been happier with another band. The value for the band is amazing too.

The band was phenomenal. They are fantastic musicians, and our dance floor was never empty. The only downsides were that their staff left the stage area quite messy (they didn't clean up after themselves, which meant more work for me and my wedding planner), and despite asking them to learn a few songs several months in advance (which they agreed to do), they did not play any of our requests. Still, they have a great sound, and our guests raved about the band!

We listened to several bands before we heard about Live Wire. As soon as we went to their showcase we knew we had to have them as our wedding band. It was one of the best decisions we made. The band was AMAZING!!! Our guests were packed on the dance floor until the very end of the night. They not only knew the best songs to sing for our crowd, but they also sounded incredible. Our guests are still talking about how great our band was and many of them have asked for their information to use for their own events. We are so happy we chose Live Wire and we would highly recommend them to any bride and groom looking for an awesome band!

Live Wire was unbelievable. They offered a great price (we had 7 musicians). Our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. The musicians seemed excited to be there, were professional and played every song we asked for (and didn't play the songs we asked them not to). I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Live Wire was fantastic! Our dance floor was packed all night! We wanted to have a PARTY band, nothing stuffy and Live Wire rocked it. We were honestly very nervous about hiring them because even though we saw them in a live showcase and they killed it - none of our vendors had ever worked with them before. Hiring them ended up being one of the best decisions we made and they are so sharply priced compared to other bands we looked at. If you want a fun band and something not typical - Live Wire is it! They even took the time to learn 5 songs for us and each was better than the last.

All I can say is this band was unbelievable! I have so many people asking me for the information for all different occassions. A large group of talented people who made our wedding a huge dance party - which is exactly what we wanted. On top of their outstanding performance, they worked with me on everything. My husband and I had so many ideas that we wanted to inlcude in our wedding that we thought a DJ would work best. BUT, when we heard livewire perform in their 10 minute showcase... there was no turning back. And to top it off - they did everything we asked and than some. And Anthony, kudos for putting up with my incessive emailing! We will be using again...

> Happy Holiday!!!!!! Anthony

Best wedding band ever!! My husband and I received so many wonderful comments about Live Wire. Everything was just perfect – from the pre-wedding arrangements to learning a specific song which wasn't on their list. They are very responsive and made everything so easy and stress-free. We will always recommend Live Wire :)

This band is the best band I have ever heard, hands down. My wedding was unbelieveable and people are still talking about how amazing our band was. I found them on the internet and I chose them because of the wonderful demo they sent in the mail and I knew they would be great. Anthony was great at responding to all of the emails or questions that I had. I had many song requests that were not on the list, and they learned ALL OF THEM. I was in shock and they did an amazing job, especially with the song for our first dance. The dance floor was filled the entire night and because of that, me and my new husband had the time of our lives. They are also very reasonably priced for the quality of their performance. Thank you to livewire for making our special day as special as can be. You are such a talented band and I would recommend you to anyone that asks me.

If you are looking for a band, then this is THE BAND FOR YOU!! My brother got married a couple of years and used Live Wire. After a few songs, I remember saying that I wanted this band at my wedding! I will tell you that Live Wire was the first vendor I booked after we set our date. It was so important to us to have them play at our wedding! My husband and I never left the dance floor our entire wedding, along with the rest of our guests! Live Wire played a huge part in helping us have the best wedding! I can't even tell you how many people came up to us at our wedding to tell us how amazing the band was. People are still talking about our band and I can tell you if you book them, people will be talking about them at your wedding as well! Live wire is flexible in learning new songs for you and their prices are great compared to other bands. I normally am not a review person, but besides the band, that was how I booked many of my vendors, which is why I decided to pay it forward! Thanks Live Wire for making our day so special!

Live Wire Entertainment was the best live band i have ever heard, hands down. Our guests (and my husband and I) are still in awe of how good this band was. They have a great website and i booked them based on the quick response of the band leader, Anthony, the fact that the band that you see & hear on the website is the band that you actually get, the fact that he agreed to have the band learn a song for our first dance that was not on their list of songs & the way the demo CD that he sent to me sounded. We contracted out the entire band and it was worth every cent...there is nothing like live music at a wedding (or any event for that matter) and when you have all 11 pieces playing....WOW. We had some of the band members play music at our ceremony and at our cocktail hour..that was great. Anthony Furio, the band leader, was great to deal with, easy to get in contact with and once again, a vendor who took care of every detail...i did not have to worry about anything. Their song selection was spot on and they make sure you get 100% live music from start to finish...which is a great great detail that most bands dont offer. The dance floor was packed & the band was also interactive with the guests (at the appropriate times) which was a nice touch. The lead singers were exceptional (Jimmy, Chantele, Stephanie & Clurel)...they sound like the original artists!! I would highly recommend using Live Wire Entertainment for any event that requires live music. You can pick as small of a band or as big of a band that you want/need...I promise anyone who uses Live Wire that your socks will be knocked off when you hear them play! Andy & Natalie May 15, 2011

AMAZING!!! Wonderful!! PERFECT!!! They made our wedding the most fun wedding that we have EVER been to (and we have gotten so many calls saying how amazing the band was)!!! They were extremely professional to work with, and we couldn't have asked for anything more! We had a blast, and we were so thrilled that people were on the dance floor ALL night!! Hire this band for your wedding - they will do a phenomenal job!

We had heard Live Wire at our friend's Daugthers Weddings last year. (Two Daughters married 6 weeks apart. We used them this year for our own Daughter's wedding held July on Long Island. They did a great job!! Everyone really loved the music! They were perfect. I'd highly recommend Live Wire for your event. Their vocalists are particularly wonderful.

LiveWire is a fantastic wedding band. You will be very happy if you hire them. The band is solid and singers we had (Jimmy, Chantelle, and Badia) are by far the best I've heard in any wedding band. Even with a full band they use a decent number of effect/backing tracks. IMHO they do this very tastefully and it allows them to really replicate a lot of modern pop songs very well. They also have someone playing at all times - ie no full-band meal breaks. They learned and played all the songs we asked them to (perfectly). My only criticism is that they left a decent amount of what we requested until the end, and played a few too many slow songs near the beginning. In both cases, however, they switched gears as soon as we asked, and I'm sure they will do exactly what you specify. Definitely recommend.

My husband found Live Wire through an internet site. We didn't know of anyone that had been to a wedding where they played. Our parents thought that was risky, but in the end it was better than any of us could have asked. They had the dance floor PACKED all night. People were still hanging around at the end and not leaving. We received MANY complements on the band and how much fun the party was. I noticed that some relatives that are older or don't usually appreciate louder music were up and dancing. We can't say enough terrific things about the band. We would highly recommend them to anyone!

I can not say enought great things about Live Wire. They were amazing. They had the dance floor packed all night long. I've been to countless wedding and often times bands have a tendancy to be a bit cheesy - but not Live Wire - they had a level of grace and class far surpasses any wedding band I've ever heard - and they just sound awesome. I'm still - months after the wedding getting compliments on them.
