As you’re planning your wedding, no doubt music has come into play. Maybe you’d love to have some easygoing Jimmy Buffett tunes on the beach. Or, maybe you and your significant other just want to rock the night away on the dance floor, AC/DC-style. Even though your budget may not allow for you to book the real thing, you can still host an amazing reception! Tribute Bands are truly dedicated to their craft and can add the final finishing touch to your big day.
1. The Beatles
For the beatnik couple, or just for super fans, booking a Beatles Tribute Band could be just the right fit. It’s tough to find a crowd that can’t sing along with the endless songbook from “The British Invasion.” The perfect mix of love and rock, a Beatles Tribute will keep the crowd on its feet and singing along through cocktail hour and beyond! Maybe it’s true; all you need is love…and The Beatles.
Signature Songs: Here Comes the Sun, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Let It Be

2. Frank Sinatra
Are you a romantic at heart? Maybe your wedding theme is set in the 30’s or 40’s? A Frank Sinatra Tribute Band or Impersonator can bring an authentic feel and transport you and your guests back to a time when the crooner was king. And a set list full of love songs will keep you and your significant other swooning on the dance floor all evening.
Signature Songs: The Way You Look Tonight, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, You Make Me Feel So Young

3. The Beach Boys
If you’re going barefoot in the sand on your big day, it won’t be complete without the right surf-side tunes. Or, bring the good vibrations to any venue with a Beach Boys Tribute Band! Weddings are stressful; take advantage of their laid-back vibe and simply enjoy the celebration.
Signature Songs: God Only Knows, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Don’t Worry Baby

4. Aerosmith
This choice is not for the couple who’s faint of heart. If you’re ready to shake off the stuffiness of the ceremony and get the party started, an Aerosmith Tribute Band is for you! You may find a ballad or two in the repertoire, but you better get your rocker shoes on! It’s like the old saying goes: The couple who headbangs together, stays together.
Signature Songs: Love In an Elevator, Crazy, Sweet Emotion

5. Garth Brooks
If you’re a country girl at heart, there’s no better choice than an amazing Garth Brooks Tribute Band. We guarantee the crowd will be singing along to every song (Who doesn’t know “Friends In Low Places”?), and Garth has some of the sweetest “first dance” songs out there. Booking a Garth Brooks Tribute will no doubt make your wedding day one to remember!

Love these picks. A Beatles or Sinatra tribute gets every generation on the dance floor, and couples today are also asking for yacht rock, Motown and modern pop tributes. We’re seeing this same growing enthusiasm for tribute bands nationwide. At Maximum Bands Entertainment, we’ve booked over 20,000 tribute shows during more than 20 years in the industry. From classic rock legends to today’s biggest pop stars, tribute acts are proving to be a tremendous draw for weddings, concert venues, festivals, and community events. It’s exciting to see this segment of live entertainment receiving more recognition!
