September 29, 2025Fantastic Oktoberfest!
Karen and her band did a terrific job for us at our car club Oktoberfest. Believe this is our 3rd year for them to support us - always terrific, never disappoint! She is classic Bavarian music - has the horn, the bells - she is on the accordion. They were fantastic.
Highly recommend

August 11, 2024Absolutely the best group of musicians and members ever!
Steven and the band was absolutely the best choice for our event. They were fantastic to work with, had incredible attitudes, and were musically exceptional. All the elements you want in a band plus more. I highly recommend the Happiness Band for your events. We will definitely be using them again.

October 6, 2023Oktoberfest - Massive Success Thanks to the Happiness Band
We asked for the polka band experienced and they delivered! Kreg, Michael, Mark and Keith (If I remember everyones names correctly) absolute stole the show for the evening by entertaining our guests with hilarious jokes, fun music and played an amazing list that fit the bill. The crowd was very receptive and we got constant praise all night long. My microphone was weak and could not overpower the crowd when I spoke as they were packing up. I was lucky enough to have a band member stay a bit long so I could use the microphone to play some games. I absolutely enjoyed every second.
Hired as: Polka Band

"Susan and I were thrilled with the Happiness Band's performance at our wedding. The fact that so many people rose to their feet and danced was testimony to how good the band was. I loved the special song list tailored to my exact tastes. You even customized the words of our wedding waltz to honor our union specifically. I highly recommend the Happiness Band for any and all occasions!"

"The song Bad Too Long in 'Mansion of Blood,' with Calista Carradine, John Schayer and The Happiness Band, was one of the two best musical performances in the film."
Michael Donahue
Director and Writer
"Mansion of Blood"
"The Happiness Band provided three different bands for my two-day event. On day one the Jazz Band played at the Bonaventure Hotel and then on day two the Latin Band and the Caribbean Band played all day for an outside gathering. All three bands where professional in every way and played outstanding music. And they were not too loud!"

About
What Does It Cost?
The services offered by The Happiness Bands are very reasonably priced. In a personal consultation your needs will be discussed and the scope of your event and the cost will be determined. Depending on the size of the band, the distance the band will need to travel, the size of the venue and how long we're needed to play, the cost can range from $200 to $5,000 per event.
If your event requires several different bands to perform throughout the event, this is no problem for us and we will arrange with you a package that suits your budget.
And you can't beat our guarantee. If you hire any of the Happiness Bands and are not completely satisfied with our performance, we will refuse payment. We are that proud of our professionalism!
Additional booking notes
Most of our bands can play indoor or outdoor - in the back yard or on the beach. We will handle the technical side of things for you and make our music work in your space.
