The set selection was spot on. It was a great dance party wedding. Everyone loved them. I booked the band for a corporate dinner and they were incredible. Not just musicians but performers! They had routines down and a well thought out playlist. Really funny and extremely entertaining to watch. I did not want to leave the dance floor and a lot of my colleagues felt the same. Very easy to work with. 5 Stars. The guys did amazing. They were so much fun and we enjoyed every second they performed! They brought the energy. It was fun. Tough crowd but they hung in there and had the group dancing and singing. The best band we've ever worked with! They were so adaptable to the rain situation, went above and beyond to clean the dance floor, make the couple feel comfortable, hype the crowd up and everyone was happy to dance in the rain because every song they played sounded amazing and they made you feel like you were at the best concert. Can't wait to work with them more! Hands down the best wedding band in the world. Not hyperbole, these guys made our wedding an unforgettable night, bringing so much energy and fun, there wasn’t a single person not dancing. We love them and will push for as many of our friends and family to use them for their weddings as well. You are missing out if you don’t go with The Freshmakers They were so much fun! Perfect for our event. Best wedding band I’ve ever seen. Could not have wished for a more talented and fun band. They made our wedding. The Freshmakers brought the energy and had the party going all night. All of our guests could not stop talking about how fun the band was. During every break people just couldn’t wait for them to start playing again. Amazing job!! Everyone wanted to know where we found you guys bc they loved you so much! I was a little nervous when they arrived an hour late but they had enough time to get set up and start on time. We had such a great time. They have a great variety, sound amazing live, everyone had so much fun with the music. We loved them! I apologize to the reader in advance for the novel I'm going to write about the Freshmakers. The wedding band, it's a HUGE decision. It's one of the most important aspects to get right because it dictates the energy of the event. We looked through a lot of bands, all were talented and all seemed experienced. When we came across the promo video for the Freshmakers, we sort of knew it was the right choice for our wedding and when I had the first call with Eric, it sealed the deal. The Freshmakers were the spark, that ignited the fire, that turned into a ripping bonfire of an evening. Our night ended with my wife and I crowdsurfing, if that's any indication of the energy that this band brings. From start to finish, the Freshmakers were great to work with. Eric was communicative and accomodating, two important qualities in a wedding vendor. The week of the wedding, we sent them the various playlists, we talked through the set list, etc. The day of the wedding, I was still naieve about just how awesome they were (I had no idea what was coming). They kicked off the wedding in classic style with parent approved jams. Each member of the band is a talented musician and you can tell that they truly love playing together and performing. After getting everyone on the dance floor, they proceeded to turn the volume up, both physically and metaphorically, until the very end. Most weddings have lines to get a drink at the bar, ours did not. People were so busy dancing and having the time of their lives, they forgot to drink. I had no less than 10 people tell me that the freshmakers are their favorite band, including the father of the bride, who is notoriously difficult to impress. These guys were an integral part of the best day of my life. My wife and I can't stop talking about how grateful we are we decided to choose them, because it simply wouldn't have been the same without them. I can't recommend the Freshmakers enough - they're the right mixture of raw talent, professionalism, energy and fun. Best wedding band I’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend for any event. MADE OUR WEDDING!! Such a wonderful performance. Amazing! Absolutely incredible! FRESHMAKERS WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING!!!!!!!! We are back from our honeymoon and the entire time I was thinking about how I need to tell everyone who is getting married to book these boys immediately. We could not have asked for a better band- all of our guests are raving about the whole performance, the talent, the costumes, the choreography- everything was amazing and honestly made our entire wedding. I am so happy I found them! Thank you so much for making our day THE BEST. I am incredibly grateful to have worked with the Freshmakers! The group's entertainment value was off the charts. They had everyone dancing and having a great time all night. Thank you for making a memorable night!!! WOW! Words can't capture our gratitude and awe with the Freshmaker's performance during our wedding reception. They were energetic and fun, the music was very well done, the sound was amazing, the performance was engaging, it was everything! We had a fairly small wedding for having a band - around 70 people - and they kept the energy up all night. The band must have spent the cocktail hour speaking with some guests and learning their names because all night they would call out to some of our guests on the dance floor. The frontman (totally blanking on his name) would jump off the stage and come sing to members of the crowd. They invited certain guests onto the stage to have them participate in the show. The absolute highlight of my entire wedding day was when they invited my husband's cousin, who is a theater kid entering high school, to sing Misery Business with them (one of the songs we requested) and she absolutely rocked it. I am so amazed that they were able to sense that because of her energy and the types of songs she was enjoying she would know the words and enjoy the experience. The music was wonderful, but I think what is really hard to find is a band that can work a crowd so expertly. My husband and I, and most of our extended families, don't do much dancing. To be frank, we're not good at it. My husband says he has not ONCE seen his parents dance in his life... until the Freshmakers hit the stage. They were on the dance floor most of the night! Almost every one of our guests danced, and most people stayed on the floor for hours. Everyone had an absolute BLAST! Whenever we have talked to guests since the wedding every single one has talked about the band, how much fun they had, and how the Freshmakers absolutely made the event. Despite the fact that we picked a lot of pop-punk songs for the set list, the people who seemed to have the most fun were our relatives in their 60s, so you can put your faith in the Freshmakers to engage everyone in the crowd, no matter the age. This was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day. In addition, they were wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding too. Eric was communicative and worked with us to make sure our vision was a reality. My 2 biggest pieces of advice for a couple looking to hire the Freshmakers: 1.) DO IT 2.) Make sure you have PLENTY of time to dance and forgo any pictures or traditions you are willing to make it happen. The best! Thank you so much, such a hit. Amazing job! Clients were so happy You guys rocked it!
