They were really amazing and had everyone dancing even if some of our random music choices weren't "dancing" music. They made our wedding go from good to great and were really easy to work with!

We had Jukebox at our wedding reception and I could not be happier with their performance! John is so professional and easy to work with which was great for all the pre-planning and the band even agreed to learn our first dance song as well as our father/daughter dance song!!! It really added so much to our evening to have these special songs live. The band has a great set up and kept our guests on the dance floor all night, which is exactly what we wanted! The DJ and Live Band combo is great - and half the time you didn't know which songs were covered and which were the DJ playing the original because their covers are awesome!

John Pisano was the head leader for the band Jukebox. John had been working with my husband and I for our wedding reception for months and he was extremely profession and very on top of everything. He is friendly, accommodating, and very charismatic. The band was AMAZING at our wedding and we are still getting complements from our friends and family. People said they felt like they were "At a concert" and not a wedding! They played every song we asked them to in regards to the DJ and the band and were very happy with the results. Most importantly, we gave them a demo to try to match for our first dance and they NAILED IT. You will not be dissapointed with Jukebox!!!

Jukebox did a wonderful job at our wedding! They were very accomodating. They even made the extra effort to try and learn our first dance song. They put on a great show and kept the crowd going all night! They sounded great and looked amazing too! John is a wonderful guy. He is very understanding, organized, and will certainly go the extra mile to make his clients happy! I would absolutely use Jukebox in the future for al my life events and parties!

Jukebox far exceeded our expectations!! From the pre-wedding meeting to the wedding itself John and the band were professional, helpful and just plain fun! We could not have asked for a better band and DJ!!! They kept the dance floor full all night long and the crowd pumping. We could not imagine what our wedding would have been like without Jukebox as our band!! We loved all of them and would hire them for another party/event in heartbeat!!! What a compliment to us and Jukebox to have numerous guest asking where we found the band and how amazing they are!!!
Thanks again Jukebox for making a wedding a night to remember!
Love,
Caitlyn and Brett

Jukebox was amazing to work with. They kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the night. People that I expected to leave early on, stayed late to listen them. They kept it fairly close to the list of songs my husband and I had created for them, which was great. My new nephew danced it up and the band invited him on to the stage. At the end of the night, John gave him his drum sticks. I highly recommend Jukebox for all events that need a high energy group. Thank you, John and company!

John was unprofessional in our first meeting and made inappropriate comments. He also gave us a reception form to fill out, and neglected to follow it at the reception. He forgot to do grace, which was listed on that very form. They also played songs that we specifically told John in our meeting that we didn't want played. The example was "Get Low," which was vulgar and inappropriate for a wedding with young kids present. Also, when the hotel's power drop failed John yelled at my day planner, who did not work for the hotel or hold any responsibility for the power drop. She also expressed that the band was pushy with her as well. Too bad, because they are talented.
:
My advice to anyone investing in a wedding is to hire a PROFESSIONAL wedding planner with excellent references. Unfortunately, this couple made a bad choice in this regard and the result was leveled at the band.
The couple were lovely and had a wonderful wedding. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end. We received many compliments from the attendees, the Husband personally hugged each of us at the end of the night stating that we "Made" the event. However, The "planner" made huge mistakes throughout the evening, missing cues, not communicating effectively and even being absent at crucial times throughout the event. Unfortunately for us, the planner

Jukebox was great. Excellent communication leading up to wedding. Friendly. Professional. Understanding of our quirky preferences. The only complaint I have is a couple of the pre-planned songs and arrangements were not followed through on the night of. But over all, it went great. Guests had nothing but praise.

Jukebox played for a club function which had many needs. They flowed well with the event and added value through out the night.
Would recommend them for large or small parties.

We are very pleased with our decision to hire Jukebox. John and his crew are very professional and easy to work with. They kept the energy level in the room up the entire evening. The combination of a live band and a DJ worked out better than imagined. Many thanks to John and DJ Recipe!!

We "blindly" (we found them on gigmasters and had never heard them live) hired Jukebox for our wedding in Cabo because we are from the east coast and wanted to bring a band with us. From day 1 they were AMAZING. I think I had at least 3 hour long phone conversations planning every detail to make our event special. They MADE our wedding - everyone had an absolute blast and it was because of how much fun they were and their great music. Our friends and family keep asking how we found them and some have even mentioned wanting to fly them to New York for their own parties. I can't say enough - they took care of everything. We never sat down...we danced all night!

Jukebox performed at our wedding on 10/25/13 at the Thursday Club in Ocean Beach and they were fantastic! They were professional, accommodating, extremely talented and very friendly. They were also very reassuring in the midst of wedding planning and helped us to create the timeline for our day. I would not hesitate in recommending them! Everyone at our wedding had a blast and loved them.

One word, outstanding!!!! Not only was the band super rocking and amazing, they kept the entire flow of the evening and allowed me to sit back and just enjoy my wedding. It's true you get what you pay for but in my humble opinion Jukebox is priceless. I would recommend them to anyone for any special occasion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for enhancing my wedding. Love you guys!!!

We wanted a different performance from JukeBox than it seems they (or at least their band leader, John) are used to providing. They offer a big show: lights, smoke machines, a "video board" which we didn't want. They also asked for a stage and a purpose built dance floor (to cover the existing tile floor). Ultimately, they agreed to provide the music just as we requested, but I don't think he ever really understood our vision. A last surprise: John wasn't at our wedding, which I wish had been clear from the start.
In the end, all that mattered though was that the band played great music and Wyatt (the DJ) kept the party going as people danced long into the night

Jukebox was everything I thought they would be after watching their promo reel. I was really happy with my crowd's response to them and I hope to work with them again. The dance floor was packed for a majority of the night, especially when they played my requested song list. I know my peeps!

Hey Lorie. Thank you so much for the excellent review. You were a pleasure to work with and your Peeps were a lot of fun to play for! You also did a phenomenal job with the decor, lighting and stage prep. Great work! We would love to be your band again for next years event. :)
