• STOP READING REVIEWS AND HIRE THIS BAND FOR YOUR WEDDING NOW I put this comment in ALL CAPS to express how they exceeded every expectation and helped make our wedding day such a special occasion. The band easily walked us through every step - from first listeing to the band to finally allowing me to play "Rock Star" and perform a song! How do they perform? They rock! Love Jones is comprised of very talented musicians. They perform music for all taste. They will learn a song or two for you for the reception - needless to say I was in tears as I danced with my wife. The band knows how to read a room and get people off their butts dancing. -- Christian W, Philadelphia, PA, 10/3/2009
• EVERYONE LOVED the Love Jones Band!!! The compliments to the band were outstanding! Everyone wanted to know who they were and how to get in touch with them. They were the life of the party! -- Tracy S, Bethlehem, PA, 7/31/2009

• Love Jones was truly a pleasure to work with for my corporate event. They were on time, professional, talented and truly put on a great performance. I plan events for my company and if I were ever in the Philadelphia area again - I would definitely book them to play my event. Thanks Love Jones! -- Melissa B, Philadelphia, PA, 6/14/2009
• Love Jones is the best party band around! Our guests had the best time and they kept the party rolling without a hitch. There was crowd involvement which I think adds a special touch and feeling of personal attention. Greg and Gary were wonderful to work with and sooo accomodating to all of our concerns/needs. I definately recommend Love Jones to anyone who is hosting a party or wedding. I said to my husband last night that I want to have another party just so we can have Love Jones play! So much fun! -- Kristen L, Beach Haven, NJ, 5/30/2009
• The LoveJones Band has to be the very best dance band in the greater Philly area!! We hired them for our daughter's wedding and had nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests, who were up and dancing all night long!! They have an awesome sound, great vocalists and Gary, the Band's leader, was extremely accommodating and helpful in acting as an emcee for the event. We highly recommend him and his LoveJones Band, if you want an fabulous, energetic, and fun event! If we ever have occasion to hire a band again, they will be our first choice!! !! Dan & Marcia Wolfe May 16, 2009 -- Marcia W, King Of Prussia, PA, 5/16/2009
• The Love Jones Band was awesome! They kept the party going all night long! We had compliments all night about how great the Love Jones Band was from our family and friends. I would totally recommend them to any other couple looking for a fantastic band, and a great MC! -- Heidi B, York, PA, 5/2/2009
• I was blown away by Love Jones. The entire time the band was on stage the dance floor was packed. All night people were stopping me to tell me how GREAT the band was and how much fun they were having. Greg, Gary, BJ and the rest of the group are a great bunch of people but and even better group of musicians. I would not hesitate to recommend Love Jones to anyone for any type of event. I hope to be able to hire them again for our next event. What do you say boys, same time next year. Just writing this makes me smile remembering how much fun we had all night. LOVE JONES ROCKS!!! Thanks guys, Mary Kaye Ellis -- Mary Kaye E, Philadelphia, PA, 4/18/2009
• These guys are the best! They worked with us and bent over backwards to do everything to accommodate us and even took late requests. Great music and I would use them for any and all events. I am still getting compliments on the band!! -- Jimmy C, Philadelphia, PA, 3/28/2009
• Excellent Band! Easy to work with, learned our first dance song and parents song. Everyone that attended the wedding thought tehy were great! -- Holly W, Bridgewater, NJ, 2/15/2009
• Simply amazing in every way well worth the money! -- Keith K, Conyngham, PA, 10/18/2008
• From the day of the showcase to the very last second of the wedding, it has been nothing but a pleasure working with them. They were absolutely PERFECT, and completely blew away my expectations. They were the first band we saw when we were deciding on bands. We knew right away, "This is THE band." I could go on and on. Our guests claimed, "This is the funnest wedding we've ever been to. The band was GREAT!" Love Jones band knew what kind of wedding we wanted, and we had a full on party (or should I say CONCERT). EVERYONE was on the dance floor AND STAGE! They even let me rock out on guitar. Thank you Love Jones for making our day everything we dreamed of! -- Roderick C, Avalon, NJ, 10/17/2008
• Love Jones greatly exceeded our expectations!! Our Sept 27, 2008 wedding was incredibly memorable thanks to them. Gary was a pleasure to work with and proved to be a phenomenal MC and organizer. We want to get married again just so we can hear them play again! -- Natasha K, Beach Haven, NJ, 9/27/2008
• We had a wonderful experience working with LoveJones! They were very professional and incredibly organized. No detail was overlooked. Our guest's raved about LoveJones and we had a great party! -- Caroline S, Harrisburg, PA, 9/13/2008
• Our experience with Love Jones can be summarized with one word- amazing. From start to finish Gary was wonderful, and delievered on everything, from accodmating our special music requests to getting everyone out on the dance floor. Love Jones' versatility in playing a wide range of musical selections was key. I would recommend Love Jones to anyone. -- Ann E, Winterthur, DE, 8/30/2008
• They were fabulous, rave reviews from the guests. -- Andrew R, Paoli, PA, 6/14/2008
• This band was AMAZING!! Every one of my 250 guests had a good time and raved about them - some asking who they were in case they wanted to book them in the future. The girls' voices were exceptional. We couldn't get over how good songs like "If I ain't got you" by Alicia Keys and "At Last" sounded. I can't say enough good things about them. Gary stayed in contact with me for a year and a half planning this event and making sure everything was just what I wanted. The ceremony and reception were fabulous! They were extremely professional and took control of the reception so that we didn't have to worry at thing!! We would book them again and again and again! -- Sarah S, Hazleton, PA, 6/21/2008
• We had a destination wedding and decided to have a party for family and friends when we returned. Love Jones performed at the party and were wonderful!!!! I would highly reccommend them for any event. They were very professional and so much fun. If you are looking for a great time and anything you could ever ask for in a band you have to hire Love Jones!!!! -- Margretann H, Williamstown, NJ, 5/3/2008
• We had the best time at our wedding. Love Jones was amazing! Not only were they extremely professional, but they found a way to honor all of our requests - and there were a lot. The guests loved the music and EVERYBODY danced! Even the other vendors were saying what a great band they are! Thank you so much for making out wedding reception truly memorable. -- Heather W, Pottstown, PA, 5/31/2008
• Love Jones is hands down the VERY BEST wedding band I have ever seen! They sounded absolutely perfect, and really got everyone up and dancing. EVERYBODY had the time of their life. Also, Love Jones shared the stage by allowing the Groom to get up with his band and play 3 songs at the start of the last set - how cool was that?!?! I highly recommend Love Jones to all my friends that are looking for a great party band. -- Christina A, Harrisburg, PA, 2/9/2008
• I cant say enough about this remarkable band! From the minute Gary gave me a price quote, to the follow up thank you email I got this morning Love Jones has been nothing short of FANTASTIC! They walked me through everything, they showed up early, and they played their hearts out! Wew!!! I was getting compliments from my friends and family all night telling me how good the band was! We had sooooo much fun. I was so lucky to find you. Thank you guys, you made the night a great one!! -- Lisa S, Belmar, NJ, 3/8/2008
• Love Jones performed for the 150 guests at my daughter's wedding reception. They were absolutely FANTASTIC! The vocals, the instrumentals, the master of ceremonies responsibilities, the lighting, and the professionalism exhibited were all superb. The band's seven members were animated, involved, and very accommodating. They even learned our requested songs to play for Father/Daughter, Bride/Groom, and Mother/Son dances. Our guests kept saying, "The Band is Great". Thanks Love Jones for making a great wedding reception, a greater wedding reception. -- Ronald B, Mendenhall, PA, 12/1/2007
• Love Jones played at our wedding and all the guest commented on how great they were and how much fun they seemed to have. Love Jones provided not only the music for our reception, but also ceremony and cocktail hour. They arrived early and had everything set up in more than enough time. The best thing we can say about Love Jones is that we didn't have to worry about a thing where they were concerned. We would for sure hire them again for another event. THANKS SO MUCH!!! Pam and John -- Pam S, Cape May, NJ, 9/9/2007
• Love Jones is great! We can't say enough good things about them. Everyone at our wedding kept telling us what a great band they are. They are very talented and very nice. They are extremely accommodating and patient, especially with nervous brides. They learned our song for us - Lullabye by the Dixie Chicks and did a fantastic job. We've actually asked them if they would be willing to make a recording of it for us. They were very good about keeping in touch with us and our reception site and helping us plan our day. Their price is also very reasonable and you get more than your money's worth. We are really very grateful to them! -- Faye W, Basking Ridge, NJ, 9/1/2007
• Love Jones was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! They really rocked the house and were a pleasure to work with during the planning stage. I will use them again and reccommend them to anyone. Thanks for a great time! -- Amanda E, Philadelphia, PA, 8/11/2007
• I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed working with Greg and his band. From the first e-mail to the last they were extremely professional, extremely great to work with! Since I had never heard them live, I was a little nervous about their performance but I have to say they were fabulous!! They were not only flexible working with me and the other bands but they sounded awesome! I would certainly recommend Love Jones to anyone who needs a great, upbeat, professional sounding band. I look forward to asking if they would like to do more of our events in the future! I had many positive comments about them throughout the event. Thanks so much! Deana Yokimcus Delaware Today Magazine -- Deana Y, Dover, DE, 7/19/2007
• There are not enough workds to describe how lucky we feel to have had Love Jones at our wedding to set the tone. They were a Joy to work with from the first day we booked them and I would hire them again in a second... A great band can really make your wedding -- that is exactly what Love Jones did for us... missy pugh -- Melissa G, York, PA, 7/6/2007
• I think when you see a band having a good time and their sound is tight and you mix that with a great group of folks, you have found a winning recipe for entertainers who actually live up to their hype. I spent hours on the web trying to find the perfect band. Turns out I got it right with Love Jones. Everything was perfect. I guess I am not used to that. But Love Jones was the best move I could have ever made to make my party the special and memorable event I wanted it to be. Seemed like we knew these guys for 20 years. A special thank you to you folks. -- Mike M, Chadds Ford, PA, 8/18/2007
