Awesome wedding band

I hired this band to play at my wedding a full year in advance. They were the only band I talked to and I pretty much hired them on the spot because they were very well priced, so incredibly nice and helpful, and of course sounded great and had the repertoire I was looking for. Even time I spoke to Ken, he expressed how excited they were to play at our wedding and it meant the world to me to have a vendor that cared so much. I could not have imagined having any other band at our wedding!

Wedding Band

We are so happy that we hired the Jack Rabbit Slims for our wedding reception! Not only was the music great, but they were also very professional yet engaging with our guests. We danced until we dropped! And, the best part is, they let my 8-year old nephew play the drums for a while! He was so happy, and that was so nice of them. I'd highly recommend the Jack Rabbit Slims for any occasion and will hire them again. Great music, great talent!

Perfect Wedding Band

Jack Rabbit Slims played at our daughter's wedding and were awesome! They kept the party going and the music was for all ages. They were easy to work with and very accommodating to make sure the bride and groom had their music choices for their special dances. Great fun. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

We could have danced all night long!

Saw Jack Rabbit Slims play at a charity event and they were FANTASTIC!!!
They really know how to get people out on the dance floor and a good time.
The spectrum of music they play was enjoyable to every age group in attendance.
We could have danced all night long. I like that they took requests and went out of their way to make sure everyone was having a blast, dancing and singing!
I would definitely book them when I have a party.

"We booked Jack Rabbit Slims as our wedding band and we could not have been any happier!!

Sellar (Bride), Monroe, LA

"Jack Rabbit Slims was incredible at my wedding! They were completely professional, helpful, and so much fun.

Our friends can't stop talking about how good the music at our reception was." - A. Hunt (Bride), Natchitoches, LA

"Great band with a wide range of music! Having a live band hands down beats having a DJ. This band is reliable and punctual. It made me have one less thing to worry about on my wedding day.
