They have performed extensively overseas in Asia and Europe as well as touring with The Time, Stevie Wonder, Cameo, Jodece, KC&Jo-Jo and P-Diddy.

The band was amazing! Charles went out of his way to meet her every request. The entire team was amazing and the family could not have been happier! The second line was fantastic as well. A great night! THANK YOU!

I wanted to express how wonderful the Atlanta Party Band was at the Knoxville Museum of Art’s event this past weekend. Our crowd thoroughly enjoyed them and we are very grateful they were part of the event. Please pass our gratitude to Charles and the band.

I can't even tell you how much we enjoyed the Atlanta Party Band! They were absolutely fantastic and they really know how to get a crowd involved. I, for one, never sat down and danced every song. People kept coming up to me asking, "Where did you get this band?" They made it such a fun, memorable night. Brad and Sonia were blown away. They made the party happen! 

I have heard a lot of bands down here over the years, but they are now my favorite. The staff at the River Course love them too. Thank you so much! I will definitely pass the word on.

We were blown away by how fantastic Atlanta Party band was - they were amazing!!! They played exactly the type of music we were hoping for and kept the dance floor packed the whole night.  All of our guests told us that they were the best wedding band they have ever heard, and we definitely thought so!!   Thank you for your recommendation for APB - we literally were so happy with how everything went!!!

You completely made our wedding night and every single guest asked what the name of the band was because they couldn't believe how incredible you were. I am SO grateful for everything you did to ensure all of our guests danced and the night was exactly what we envisioned and MOORE!

You're the best!

The band exceeded our expectations! They were fantastic and went to extra effort to sing The Lord's Prayer before dinner. They looked fabulous - matching Katie's color scheme. They played special songs during the fireworks. Their sound was superb! Thanks so much for everything!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased my clients and I were with Atlanta Party Band on September 5th. We had new songs for them to learn which they did perfectly and without issue. The venue for the reception changed three weeks before the wedding which was really stressful. Charles assured me that they were fine with the change and were so accommodating. He was in constant contact with me and I never doubted that they would be there and be wonderful. Atlanta Party Band was so entertaining that the bride didn't leave the dance floor for the last two hours of her reception! I'm very excited to work with them again on future events. They are a great band for your company to represent. Thanks again!

We enjoyed the Atlanta Party Band SO MUCH!!!! They were spectacular and the level of professionalism was very apparent!!!
They played so many great songs and really made the party get going in a big way! I'm pretty sure every single person in the room was on the dance floor at some point!
I have never heard so many compliments on a band in my entire life! Everyone loved them!!! The bride and groom were blown away and just couldn't stop dancing! I couldn't 
get off the dance floor myself!!! So very FUN and so much talent! WOW!!

We will definitely be referring this band and we also have another daughter to get married eventually- so we will be in touch at some point!!!

Honestly, this was a party my guests can't stop talking about and that was due in a large part to your incredible band!

APB was simply fantastic!! We couldn't have asked for a better band for Katie's wedding. They were so professional and on top of everything, they were such kind people. I would use them again in a heartbeat and will recommend you and them to others. In fact, I have already sent your info to a friend who was there for the wedding and interested in them for her upcoming daughter's wedding. We can't wait to watch them again once the video comes in to us in the next couple of weeks. :-)

Thanks so much for helping me coordinate them w/ our date...you did an outstanding job!

Wedding Reception

They were just amazing! I had put such effort into the food/decor/little details...but ultimately it is the entertainment that is the life of the party. And they were! No complaints, only the highest of praise! My wedding planner spoke pre-wedding with Charles and though he was so nice and "uber professional."

What can I say? The band you chose for our Mardi Gras event, Atlanta Party Band, was just awesome. When the lights came on we still had over 250 still dancing and wanting more. That speaks volumes. I would be glad to recommend this band to anyone. Thanks again for your help. It was a great success.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing, our guests did not stop raving about them. We've heard some really good bands in our lifetime this was tops. Vocals were incredible. It's not everyday I can see my 89 year old mother on the dance floor and really enjoy herself. They were so nice to work with. We didn't want the evening to end.

Where do I even begin?? Atlanta Party Band absolutely set the tone for our wedding. Beginning with a personal phone call from Charles before the wedding, letting me know that he had seen our first dance song selection (which I was originally planning to play on an iPod), and loved the old standard so much, that he would be honored to learn it and perform it live for us (at no charge or anything). I could already tell Charles was one of the most genuinely nice and thoughtful people that we were going to work with on our special day. 

Then at the reception, the band nailed every musical style from A-Z. They played standards, oldies and motown to perfection, and rocked top 40 hits like nobody's business. Empire State of Mind was a particular hit with all the NYers. They gauged the crowd like professionals, and kept kicking things up a few notches as the night wore on. What's more, they literally handed me a mic, and let me get up on stage and sing 'Proud Mary' with them (I'm a musical theater performer by trade)...so that was incredible. They also learned a special song that my Mom had requested--at which point SHE got up on stage and started singing (hilarious!)

Literally everyone at the reception was asking who they were and where they were from--they were making that kind of impression! At the end of the night they did 2 encores, due to the fact that our guests wouldn't let them leave--everyone kept chanting "One More Song!" Charles came up to me and was like "We're happy to keep playing-just make sure we won't get in trouble with the venue!" They weren't sticklers on their end time at all!

I just cannot say enough good things--they are so incredibly talented, accommodating, and genuinely interested in putting on an amazing show. I would recommend them hands down to anyone looking to throw an unforgettable party.

The Atlanta Party Band was PHENOMENAL!! I believe they are my new favorite wedding band and you better believe I will be sending more brides your way in the future. I was really impressed not only with their performance but also how easy they were to work with. They were very accommodating and laid back. It made my job so much easier. Jacquie was absolutely thrilled and they helped create the "party" type atmosphere that she really wanted for her reception. Thank you so much for all of your help in making the arrangements and answering all of my questions. I was very very pleased with the whole process.

You and your band were just phenomenal - That seems to be what people have been talking about the most - and although most in my family have very little sense of rhythm, they love to dance and enjoyed every minute of the evening.

You were all so professional, and believe me you did accomplish what you set out to do - I felt The Point did a wonderful job in making the evening magical, but then you started playing and you were the icing on the cake - You made the evening go over the top of any ones expectations.

Michelle and Josh's wedding will be remembered for a long time. It was a great and magical evening, and you can take a lot of credit for that. Thank you so much,
