Bill's Toupee - The most recommended wedding band in the Hudson Valley

Bill�s Toupee Rocks!! That�s all we have to say but we will give you more because everyone that is getting married should have them play their wedding. We were looking for a band that was more party than traditional wedding. We wanted contemporary with enough standards that our parents and their friends would enjoy. We got both and more - from Cat Stevens, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Billy Joel and even Toto (that�s right, they broke out Africa by Toto) the whole place was dancing from beginning to end. We had a 130 guests and if everyone that we talked to didn�t come up and ask who the band was I would be shocked. They got the party going with a great Hora that led into Black Eyed Peas, PINK and Bon Jovi. They were the exact band we were looking for and delivered on all accounts. They handled the MC duties to perfection and worked with all of the vendors we hired to make sure the wedding ran smooth. I would be remiss to not mention that Mike, the band leader played our ceremony and learned a new song for our procession. He played Coldplay �til Kingdome Come� masterfully and the whole place was in awe, it was special.

We can't say enough about how great our wedding was with Bill�s Toupee. Desaree, Mike and the rest of the band are top notch. Hire them, dance with them and have a great time partying with them. You won't regret it. Feel free to write us with any thoughts or if you want to hear more.

Mike,
I hope all the people that raved to us about you guys actually told you how great you all were. It was kind of funny how the feedback all sounded just about the same... the band kicked ass (or some variation of rocking). We couldn't have hoped for better.

We got a bunch of positive feedback about the lights also. Anyone thinking of using them should do it without hesitation. The people on the dance floor at first were looking at themselves and the ground mesmerize by the display and effects until they realized what it was, and kept on dancing. And many thanks for letting Andy sit in on a couple of songs.

If anyone contacts you that is on the fence about who to use as a band, tell them to call/e-mail me, and I will recommend you 10,000%. We couldn't be more pleased about not only the band's performance, but the ease of the transaction and the flexibility and patience you showed us. You took the worry out of the musical portion of planning the wedding.

Many thanks again,

These two hired one of the greatest bands I've ever worked with - Bill's Toupee out of Poughkeepsie, who rocked it out for the entire reception. Mike and his team were AWESOME! Many kudos to the band!

Dear Mike:
The Bill's Toupee Band was a great hit at our daughter's wedding reception. You really understood what moved our crowd and you gave it to them. I am delighted that you could adapt your play list so quickly to keep everyone on the dance floor.

Desaree is wonderful. Her interpersonal skills make her such an asset. She set the pace of the reception and moved us smoothly from introductions, first dance, toasts, through all the events to last dance!

We had so much fun on the last dance, Sweet Caroline. You even slowed the tempo of the chorus so that the gang on the dance floor could sing along (in their own fashion of grunts and hoots)! Everyone was having so much fun, and that says a lot because during the entire reception the dancing group ranged from 12 years of age to 80 plus years!

Doing business with you has been a real pleasure. I appreciate I did not have to do any "hand holding" either before or during the reception. You always knew what was needed and never bothered me with the details! The experience and professionalism of Desaree and The Bill's Toupee Band made my role as mother of the bride so much easier. I was free to enjoy the party!
Thank you so much.

Band - Bill's Toupee Band - A+++.
They rock. They learn new songs if you need them to. They get the guests up and dancing. Their work is quite tasteful and not cheesy at all! Exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend them as well.

Definitely one of the best decisions we made!!! They were absolutely fantastic, and totally flexible. Everyone was dancing, and they weren't too loud during dinner, which was important to us (we wanted there to be background music, but nothing overpowering conversation). All in all, they were perfect, and we'll use them again for any of our big parties in the future!!

4 hours was plenty! They took requests and they learned a song for us. We have continued to get compliments on the selection of using them. They are great to work with. I highly recommend them.
