Feedback

  • Jamie & Brian were awesome and very accomodating. I would highly recomend them and plan to use them again in the future! -- John L, Franklin Lakes, NJ, 10/30/2010
  • The WMD's are awesome and I highly recommend you book them for your next party. They showed up a half-hour early to set up before their performance time and had people dancing from almost the moment they began playing music. I received compliments for organizing a great party, when all I really did was pick this great band. Their song selections and arrangements appealed to a wide range of age groups. I had people from ages 20-60+ who told me repeatedly how much they loved the WMD's. Thanks again Brian and Jaime for making my party such a success! -- Liz B, Basking Ridge, NJ, 12/18/2010
  • Great band. Great guys, a pleasure to work with. Showed up early. Consulted with me before coming. They care about your party and want you to have a good time. As a former lead singer I assure you that they are very talented and have great vocals. Every song sounded polished. I received many compliments about them from my guests. No one could believe that I got them off the internet without having seen them first. However, I did because I trusted my ear and you should too. Go to their site and listen to the quality of their songs. Every song performed at our party sounded just as good. So relax, enjoy your party, hire the WMDs. John B Ridgewood, NJ -- John B, Ridgewood, NJ, 5/7/2011
  • We LOVED the WMDs!!! They were so easy to book, were very professional and had the crowd at our party RAVING..what an awesome night of great music..can't wait to have them back!!! -- Stefanie G, Norwalk, CT, 10/8/2011
  • We had the WMD's play at our son's 12th Birthday party. Brian and Jamie were awesome in the arranging of the nights performance; Our son was just starting out playing the guitar so Brian & Jamie made it possible for Nick to perform a number with them which was so special; Their patience and professionalism was so easy to see; I would strongly recommend them to anyone who looks for such amazing talent. Bridget Mele- The Tides Estate in North Haledon NJ -- Bridget M, North Haledon, NJ, 1/20/2012
