When people talk to us about our wedding, literally EVERYONE talks about how great the band was. These guys aren't just a great wedding band, they're a great band—full stop. Multiple guests have asked us for their contact info or what venues they play at so they can see them again.
Lawrence went way out of his way to give us an amazing night—hiring an additional musician, sending us cuts of our first song to practice dancing to, learning a whole bunch of songs we loved, and even sneaking a few surprises for us into the setlist that we'll remember forever. We had all these ideas of what we wanted to do during our wedding, but the music was so amazing that we ended up dancing the entire time. No regrets there!
In short, if he's available for your date, you should book him immediately before someone else does!

Response from Lawrence Trailer:
Such a wonderful review!! We had such a blast celebrating with you and Ashley, and can't thank you enough for welcoming us to your wedding. Very much hope we stay in touch and thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience :)
Hire this band if you want to have an easy time planning, raucous time dancing, and your mind-blown hearing the best versions of your favorite songs. From the first phone call to the last sweaty goodbye - Lawrence (and the band) delivers it ALL! The chatter all night long was "WHO found this band... I heard SHE found this band...where did YOU get this band ... I can't believe SHE found this band..!" Thank you Lawrence Trailer and your hitch men and women for your talent, hard work, and passion and in for making this day not about you, but about making the couple, family, and guests as happy as possible!
Backstory: I found this band by accident, a 2 am Google search after a band fell through, which led me to my now -- "my one and only wedding band recommendation". Lawrence went above and beyond on all levels. He is not only a talented artist - he is SO easy to work with and thorough -- then he absolutely kills it onsite. Did I mention Lawrence and the band are NOT prima donnas?
Lawrence's energy is over-the-top infectious, his talent is unrivaled - he is the full package. He is a star and you get the best of him plus the band he pulls together - Eden's amazing lead vocals... the horn section.... bass and drums.... Andrew and Bryan's guitar/mandolin combo for the ceremony (playing Blackbird by the Beatles, then transitioning to Going to California by Led Zeppelin) -- then killing everything at the reception. An outdoor ceremony with an impending thunderstorm and last-minute pivot - no problem for this band. They knew it was the couple's wishes to get married outside and quickly set up and got out before any bad weather.
When you hire this band you get an amazing team working for the greater good, exceeding all expectations and making yourself look amazing!
Thank you, Lawrence Trailer -- and the Hitch!

Thank you, Chris!! We had such a blast celebrating you and Nina! :)
What a rock star! Lawrence worked so hard every step of the way to make sure the entertainment for our wedding was perfect and every single guest commented on how amazing he and the band sounded. He did so much customization to make sure each song sounded just right and he totally nailed it. Our ceremony music sounded exactly as we had dreamt it would and the jazz trio during cocktail hour set the perfect tone for the evening. During reception, Lawrence drove the party in such a fantastic way, MC'ing us through the evening and really getting people out on the dance floor. Overall, just an amazing band and even better people.

Response from Lawrence Trailer:
Such a wonderful review!! Thank you Howie and Kait for including us on your big day. Can’t express how much we appreciate the opportunity, and looking forward to watching your marriage blossom over the years 🙏💚
Lawrence Trailer put together a fantastic 3 piece band and song list that exceeded our expectation. Lawrence voice is magical and his range and ability to deliver the songs was WOW. When my daughter first asked if he could sing an obscure song for their first dance, within hours he sent her a sample of him singing and playing it. Again- just blown away. I would highly recommend Lawrence and his wonderful band members.
Now the business side - again WOW. Extremely responsive, following up and guiding my daughter about what was needed for the wedding and reception. Stayed and played an extra hour because the party wouldn’t end. Worked with her on budget and put together the right people to meet her budget and blow all the guest away with the music. Again, he delivered what he promised. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HIM.
Thank you Lawrence

Thank you so much for this incredible review! I’ll never forget that moment when the surprise wedding was revealed 🤩! So honored you chose us for such an important day, and really hope we all stay in touch!
Lawrence and his band absolutely crushed it at our wedding this past weekend. His energy, charisma, and natural talent blew us all away. We had a live pianist and violin player for our ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail hour and a seven piece band for the reception. Each and every band member was incredibly talented. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Lawrence and his band time and time again.

Thank you so much, Samantha!! It meant the world to be a part of your wedding and I really appreciate this touching review. Wishing you and Brian nothing but the best in your future together! :)
There’s not enough words in the dictionary to perfectly describe how much I LOVED having Lawrence Trailer and the trio at my wedding. He exceeded our expectations a million times over. He was so personable, talented, and genuine. He was beyond easy to work with. And sounded amazing. He customized his set list to fit our music preferences, and made all our favorite songs sound even better! I loved how hyped up he got our crowd, and loved his energy! I want to throw another wedding just to have him back!! PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire them for your wedding. You will not regret it!!

We had so much fun!! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review—you were such a joy to work with and can’t wait to try more of your desserts at For Goodness Cakes! Congrats!! Hope to cross paths again soon :)
We would recommend Lawrence to anyone and everyone! He is so talented and was incredible to work with. He’s like a musician/wedding planner and put together a schedule that made our night absolutely perfect.
Lawrence played acoustic guitar and sang for our ceremony - several different songs that we chose and he learned for us.
Then he played acoustic for our cocktail party. And then he and the band played for the entire reception, including our first dance song which he also learned and performed flawlessly for us.
He had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. Lawrence also put together an awesome medley of hits that everybody loves- it was the highlight of the night. Everyone we talk to says how amazing he was and how much fun they had.
My husband heard Lawrence playing at a local bar and contacted him through Instagram, and I’m so glad he did.
He offers up different reception timelines so you can choose how your night will play out and then he works to make sure everything goes off without a hitch.
Lawrence was perfect and made our night unforgettable.

Such a touching review—thank you for sharing! The 90s alternative medley we put together for your wedding has quickly become a staple for us, and it means so much to read that we helped things run smoothly. It was an honor to take part in your big day!
We were in a bind for a last minute performer for our annual block party this year and received a recommendation for Lawrence. We normally have a band perform, but let me tell you- this man brings the energy of a whole band. Lawrence is an incredibly talented and versatile guitar player with an incredible voice. All the party goers commented on how fantastic he was and how friendly he was to chat with between sets. If you are looking for a fantastic singer/guitarist Lawrence is your man- you will not be disappointed!! Thank you Lawrence for not only saving the party but making it such a fantastic time!!!!

What a wonderful review, Christine, and I so appreciate being included in this year’s BLUEBERRY BASH!!! Thank you and everyone for being so fantastic!
Lawrence joined us for my wife’s 40th birthday party and he was awesome! He made the party and people have not yet stopped talking about him.
He was very professional, punctual and most importantly skilled and talented. His song list was extraordinary and he was still happy to learn a couple more. His music is worth every dollar. He’s such a nice guy, he was like having another friend at the party. I interviewed multiple musicians to assure I was having the right person join our special event and I hesitate just a little in giving this review because I don’t want it interfering with the next time I book him!

Where to begin… from our first meeting with Lawrence we knew he was the perfect musician to enhance our wedding day. We booked Lawrence for a ceremony trio, live music during cocktail hour, and DJ music for the main reception and dancing. Leading up to the wedding he was extremely professional, diligent, and communicative to ensure the day went smooth. He gave suggestions and brought awareness to elements of the day that we hadn’t thought of - the guy knows his stuff. The day of was EPIC!!! From the second he played at the ceremony to the last song of the night, Lawrence and his fellow musicians rocked, and helped make sure the dance floor was packed. During and following our weddin, guests gave many many compliments about how Lawrence added a special flare to the day. I could not recommend Lawrence more and would book him again for any event in the future.

We hired Lawrence for our rehearsal dinner at Crystal Springs Resort and had the best experience working with him. He is incredibly kind, professional, and has the best presence while performing. He is extremely timely in responding to you from start to finish and we felt extremely heard in our requests etc. Our friends and family had so many good thinks to say about him and we loved every song he played. We highly highly recommend him for all occasions and we hope to have him at another event in the future!! Thank you Lawrence for everything!!!!

Awesome set! Respectful of venue and song selection, talented and versatile with song selection variation and type of set- DJ, BAND OR SOLO! Will always recommend Lawrence.

Lawrence Trailer surpassed all our expectations! I planned a surprise engagement/birthday party for my now fiancé. Prior to the event Lawrence was available to answer all questions and had a open line of communication. He arrived early and sounded great throughout the entire 3 hour slated time. I’m still receiving compliments from our guests and will definitely use Lawrence for future events! I highly recommend him for any party, thank you again Lawrence!
I went through a LONG list of wedding bands, as some can come off kind of cheesy - not this band! Lawrence set the EXACT atmosphere I wanted for the wedding. His passion and energy kept us all dancing and singing along until the very last song!

Lawrence wasn’t just an increíble vocalist and guitarist—he brought an ENERGY that many event performers could only dream of. Really seamlessly fit into our event and made it a blast.

I recently invited Lawrence to perform at our assisted living facility and the residents ADORED him. He's personable, considerate and very talented. He has a smooth sound with a lot of soul. Our residents are already asking when he can come back!

Truly one of the most gifted musicians I’ve come across. He has such a diverse knowledge of music, which allows him to connect with any crowd. His energy and love for what he does is infectious, leaving you with a memorable experience always!

Lawrence Trailer made my friend’s wedding so special! He is charismatic, talented and you can easily see how passionate he is about what he does! I loved the music he played and his voice is so good! I’m going to hire him for an event I have coming up. Highly recommend!!
One Man Band
LOVE HIM! Lawrence is such fantastic entertainer! He has such a fun vibe and great voice. So many of our guests told us how great he was. And a super nice buy to boot!
Wedding Singer
As he was walking into the venue with that charismatic self, I knew this singer was going to be different. Oh how I was right! He had everyone in the palm of his hands and enchanted by the end. With that being said my partner and I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Lawrence!
Wedding Singer
Lawrence is a great performer and a great presence. He's got a beautiful voice and can entertain in a multitude of styles. I've seen him rock a beach party like nobody's business. Highly recommend!
One Man Band
I’m of the mindset that a live band isn’t going to recreate the songs I love as good as the songs themselves, especially not just one person with a guitar, but boy was I wrong. Lawrence has such a joy, kindness, talent, and warmness to his performance, it takes all the songs you know and love and deepens them to their core. He is also so fun and funny, making everyone comfortable and loose, he truly added so much to the day. He was truly a highlight and I highly suggest him. I mean, he rocked a mustache and actually made it look cool. He’s the best.
One Man Band
We couldn’t have asked for a better musician! Lawrence accommodated all of our requests and went out of his way to make sure my wife and I were happy and entertained. His voice was surprisingly even better than his videos (which are really good) and his ability to motivate a crowd is truly spectacular. Can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and charisma. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him!
Wedding Band
Lawrence is an incredible performer with a beautiful voice that will make anyone want to get up and dance, or even cry! He will make your day feel so special and really makes you feel like hes performing just for you, even if theres tons of people around. I could not recommend him enough -- he made our night!!
Wedding Singer, Singer/Songwriter
Lawrence Trailer put a smile on everyone’s faces, he brought the rhythm. He is such a talented young man, playing some of the best covers to songs you really want to hear. He really knows how to work a crowd and bring that energy, perfect for a wedding scenario. Can’t say enough good things about the young man. Hopefully one day I’ll get to catch him performing again somewhere, but until then, I’ve got the wedding videos. Thanks Lawrence!!

Lawrence played at an annual summer party this year and man, were we all so happy he did. For the entire 6 hour gig he continuously kept the energy going and played such a great combination of music to please everyone. We absolutely loved his style as it fit the mood beautifully. I would recommend him to anyone who needs music, no matter the event.
One Man Band
Lawrence knows how to maximize the energy on the floor! He was the absolute highlight of our event. He’s super accommodating and took all of our requests. Our special day wouldn’t have been as special without him!!!
Wedding Singer, Singer/Songwriter
Lawrence is an incredible singer. We hired him and his trio for our rehearsal dinner/ welcome party. We couldn’t believe he sounded even better in person than in his videos! All of our friends and family were blown away. We all felt like we were VIP’s at a concert. He was incredibly professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with. He made the entire weekend!
Wedding Band
Lawrence was professional and put me at ease from our first interaction to the last. (It won’t be our last)! He sang and played guitar for 6 hours at our annual summer party. During breaks he had an appropriate playlist going that made it feel like the music never stopped. I heard from many guests how much they enjoyed his performance. We reviewed his song list together and he played all our chosen songs. One song we wanted didn’t appear on his list and he learned it just for us and performed it spectacularly.
I have zero reservations recommending Lawrence, he was timely, professional, and incredibly talented.
Singer/Songwriter
Lawrence Trailer is amazing and can really put on a show! He engages the audience, lights up a room and helped make my friends day even more special. Beautiful voice and so talented. I can’t wait to hire Lawrence for one of my events!
Wedding Singer
Lawrence is a truly talented guitarist and has such a pleasant voice. He was a joy to work with, the booking process was seamless and he was very attentive to all of our song/performance preferences—incorporating everything we had discussed prior to the event. Party guests from 5-75 years old were engaged, entertained and dancing all night. Lawrence added such a fun and special “life” to the party. I’ve booked plenty other musicians in the past but Lawrence’s level of talent coupled with his upbeat and friendly personality, truly set him apart :). Can’t wait to have an excuse to hire him again!

What to Expect
Once the event is confirmed, clients receive a brief questionnaire to find out more about their music preferences, song requests, and top picks from my extensive song list. A personalized set list is then curated and additional details are worked out, like dress code, client expectations, and venue specifications. The day of the event, I arrive approximately one hour before the scheduled start time for setup and introductions, and with the client and/or event planner, review the schedule for the occasion. After the allotted end time, I break down and load the equipment, touch base with the client, and any remaining balance is either paid in person or one week after the event.
About
I’ve been an original singer/songwriter and performer for over twenty years, and have a catalog of music you can check out on Spotify, Apple Music, and more. I started playing weddings and events back in 2011 with a number of bands, and always found myself drawn to such an impactful moment in people’s lives. After the pandemic, I found myself looking to expand and provide an experience of my own for clients, which is why you’re finding me on GigSalad! I always keep it professional, but at my core, I’m light hearted, a consummate host, and passionate about exceeding expectations :)
Additional Booking Notes
Client is required to provide a power source (unless otherwise arranged) and, if outdoors, a tent or overhead covering in case of rain or excess sun exposure. Depending on the package selected, a stage may also be required.
