I say this without hyperbole: I wouldn't be surprised if the John Parker Band is the best wedding band on the entire East Coast. These guys ROCK. And they bring personality — John always has a fan blowing his long blond 80s-style locks as he performs, and he occasionally breaks out a keytar. The whole band is wildly talented. We hired an 8-piece for our May 2023 wedding, and our guests would not stop talking about how this was the best wedding band they'd ever experienced. They play an expansive range of music that's appreciated by a wide array of people, and they're detail-oriented in the planning process so you get exactly what you want on the big day.My tip (besides hiring this band): Don't give them too many music recommendations. Give them a general idea of what you like and don't like, and let John read the room — he's a pro at it. The band even learned our first dance song just for our wedding, as it wasn't on their list of 1,000 tracks they already knew — we hadn't expected it, and it was a sweet surprise. This band is worth every penny. It MAKES the wedding. (This was actually my third John Parker performance. My husband and I had seen him play multiple weddings before, and we literally planned our wedding date around his availability.)

The John Parker Band was amazing at our daughter’s wedding at The Breakers, in Palm Beach! The guests enjoyed the music selection and danced the entire evening.

JPB was the best! The played our wedding at The Breakers in Palm Beach and all of the guest kept coming up to us the whole time saying it was the most dancing they had seen at a wedding and that the band was amazing. The dance floor was full the entire time! They were so easy to work with and so accommodating. The party didn’t stop with them. I can not recommend them enough!!!

If you are thinking about booking John Parker Band, stop thinking about it and just do it! The John Parker Band was one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our wedding. We are still talking about how great they were, and so are our guests!! John makes things so easy from start to finish. He is easy to get in touch with and is a great help (he even gives good advice and has great suggestions based on experience)! John is a professional and knows what he is doing. One thing we also really liked about this band as opposed to others we spoke with, is they do not perform as if they are doing a cookie-cutter, pre-rehearsed "set." Some bands we talked to told US what songs they would be playing from start to finish, even if they were not songs we were into. The John Parker Band has such a vast repertoire of songs and genres. They played music that we loved and even took live requests! John is also a great MC and picks up on social ques from guests to keep things alive. We are already talking about how we cannot wait to have another event one day just so we can have this band back. Music makes or breaks your wedding. You cannot go wrong with the John Parker Band.

We originally heard John Parker Band perform at a family wedding and immediately knew we needed them at our own wedding. John was fun to work with throughout the entire planning process. We only needed to fill out a few online forms and had a few personal phone calls to get all the details squared away. He answered all of our questions and helped us pick the proper band arrangement to fit our venue. He also provided my wife and I with custom MP3 cuts for our first dance, father/daughter dance, and mother/son dance based on our request. On the day of the wedding, he emceed and provided the entertainment for the reception. We had a few events (cake cutting and champagne tower) with pre-selected songs that he and the band performed. Everything was absolutely perfect. Outside of those two events, we let him pick the set list based on the crowd and everyone stayed on the dance floor for the entire night. We have received COUNTLESS compliments saying it was the best band that they have ever heard at a wedding. It was truly an incredible performance that we are thankful to have had.

WOW! What can I say... John Parker and his band ROCK!My now wife and I booked The John Parker Band for our wedding reception. From start to finish, they really set the tone for our wedding reception and had our guests dancing all night!I received countless compliments from friends and family about how great they were. John & his band excelled about every music genre we requested... everything from 80s rock to Frank Sinatra. They had guests from age 2 to age 96 dancing for the entirety of our reception.John's attention to detail and preparation beforehand gave me the confidence that everything would be picture perfect... and it was! John and I had a couple of calls before the reception to make sure we were on the same page for how we wanted things... and to make sure all of our names were pronounced correctly.Having gone to many weddings before my own, I knew how important the music aspect was. With that said, I knew I wanted to have the best of the best for our wedding reception... and with the performance The John Parker Band put on, I know I fulfilled that goal!

John’s experience, professionalism and talent really showed through in his performance at our wedding. You can trust that John will not only make sure things go smoothly, but that everyone will have a amazing time dancing the night away. His range is incredible. He sang everything from Andrea Bocelli Por ti volare to Pitbull fireball to the Rolling stones. Incredible job. Having this band definitely MADE the wedding. We had so many compliments from guests. THANK YOU, John & band!!!

COVID canceled my son’s first wedding date, and John worked with us on the new date (1 year later)… the wedding venue’s remodeling canceled the wedding on the second date… so with 3 months until the wedding it was relocated (from Palm Beach to Key Largo)… John worked with us to accommodate the change..,WITHOUT charging any extra fees (not all vendors did that!).With short notice John had to work out his logistics with a new facility, a new coordinator and a new planner.And then the wedding finally happened! The reception was PERFECT! We could not have asked for a better emcee. John is definitely a professional and knows his business!! And the John Parker Band has great talent, great stage presence and made the reception a party worth remembering!! They went above and beyond to make sure the bride and groom created wonderful life time memories.

People are still raving about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding.Not only did the John Parker Band provide an incredibly fun and celebratory atmosphere at our wedding, but he also made sure everything flowed perfectly to ensure no gaps in our big day. From the ceremony music to the very last dance, John ensured that everything was just perfect and organized, which delighted this very Type A bride :)John was also super helpful throughout the whole year while we were planning our wedding. He was readily available to talk about any of our questions and concerns.My husband and I are THRILLED with our wedding day and all of the services John provided. He and the whole band are incredibly talented people! We had a blast!! We're already trying to find an excuse to have another party or celebration to have The John Parker Band play again.If you want him to play at your event, BOOK. HIM. NOW. He's awesome, and you don't want to miss any of his available dates!!!!

We used John Parker Band for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing!! John made us feel at ease by talking through the timeline leading up to the wedding and did a perfect job as MC — fun, professional, and classy. He gave us some very helpful recommendations along the way while listening to what we wanted. They played the music we liked, read the crowd well to keep everyone dancing, and had everyone having fun the whole night! We continue to get compliments from our guests. We couldn’t be happier that we booked John Parker Band...we HIGHLY recommend booking them!

If we could give John Parker and his band more than 5 stars, we would in a heartbeat! From the beginning of our wedding to the very end, they were absolutely wonderful and took every ounce of stress off of our shoulders so that we could just sit back and ENJOY. They played our ceremony music, our entire reception, and kept the ball rolling and all of our guests happy in between. We cannot thank you guys enough for all that you did for us! Our guests are still talking about how much they loved you guys and how much fun they had. THANK YOU! You guys rock!

John Parker and his band made our wedding reception the party of the year! Everyone is still talking about them months later. They kept the party going all night long and everyone had an absolute blast. John answered my emails and calls in record time and was extremely accommodating to our requests. I would highly recommend them!
