Turning out unique versions of everything from Marvin Gaye to Beyoncé, this 8 to 12-piece band is powered by original arrangements of familiar favorites. Steve Wexler and The Top Shelf features a powerhouse, four-piece horn section whose members have performed with The Temptations, The Fifth Dimension, Ray Charles, and The Tonight Show Orchestra. The horns are backed by a virtuoso rhythm section whose members have performed with John Lennon, Al Green, Audra McDonald, Jackson Browne, Carly Simon, Larry Harlow, Maria Schneider, and Bruce Springsteen. If those accolades weren't enough, the vocalists for Top Shelf have worked with Aretha Franklin, John Legend, LL Cool J, Sting, Michael Jackson, and many others.

Review by Michelle S.

WeddingReviewed on September 5, 2013From West Hartford, CT

From the first moment we spoke on the phone Steve was professional, friendly and accommodating. I had read glowing reviews about him and his band and they completely lived up to the standards we imagined. Every member of the band was a seasoned professional. We asked them to learn a few new songs and they absolutely nailed them! They even learned a song I wrote which was a highlight for me. So cool! My husband and I were beyond impressed! Steve especially went above and beyond to please us. We were 100% thrilled with their performance and with our overall experience with dealing with them. I wish I had another event coming up to hire them. And you should!

WeddingReviewed on June 3, 2014From Spring Lake, NJ

It was a pleasure to work with Steve Wexler and the Top Shelf for our wedding. From the beginning of our planning process Steve was proactive, involved and accommodating. We had great contact with Steve leading up to the event and great interactions that night including making accommodations when we were actually ahead of schedule. The performance was OUTSTANDING. The band did a great job with the pace of the evening and provided great energy and atmosphere and even went above and beyond by jumping in on a song that my friends and I prepared as a surprise for my wife. People could not stop talking about them and we could not have been happier. Highly recommend

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on May 20, 2012From Mamaroneck, NY

Steve was great about asking my daughter ahead of time for which songs she would like to have included in the evening of dancing. He included two additional requests for wedding party members to sing along with the band, transposing the songs to the keys requested. Steve's arrangements of each song were top notch. Steve met with me and the hostess at the venue to go over the flow of the evening, giving me confidence that all would go well. And, best of all, the band played with energy, skill, and great musicianship, and enticed everyone out on the dance floor for the entire evening. All our guests commented on what a wonderful party it was!
