Review by Matt B.

WeddingReviewed on September 29, 2014From Chicago, IL

Honey and the 45s were the *perfect* band for our wedding. They have heart, soul, and their own unique style that were unmatched by any of the other bands we were looking at. Working with Kristina prior to the event couldn't have been easier, and we're so happy that we were lucky enough to have them perform at our wedding. Many guests approached me during and after the wedding to say how great the music was, and asking how we were able to find such an amazing band. Five stars all the way!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on September 19, 2013From Madison, WI

Honey and the 45s were fantastic. We worked with their agent/manager to establish all the logistical details for the event, which were challenging given our choice of reception venue. The band learned and played 3 songs outside their typical catalog for us, which was great. They had recorded music to play during set breaks that kept our guests interested. I would absolutely recommend anybody looking for a really fabulous group of talented musicians check out Honey and the 45s. We couldn't have asked for better live music at our wedding.
