If you want to make your event special, call these guys. We hired The Class for our Wedding this past Nov. I reached out and Gabe responded within a few hours. Gabe took the time to listen to our hopes for the evening, the primary being that people would just get up and dance. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, he helped us work out what the night would sound like. The set list blended contemporary and older classics that everyone could dance to. Mission accomplished. Everyone danced and everyone loved The Class. Gabe was a pleasure to work with, and my wife's maid of honor has even hired them for her upcoming wedding. I look forward to dancing with them again!

LOVE LOVE LOVE working with The Class. From the pre-planning to the actual event- The Class was easy to work with, professional and delivered a great party. We hold an annual event every year and a majority of our attendees said this was the best party yet. This outstanding atmosphere was due largely to the awesome energy and talent of The Class. Thank you!

I found The Class after wading through way too many terrible "wedding band" websites with 1990s graphics and promises of costume changes and backup dancers. I was about to give up when I Googled "non-cheesy wedding band that just plays great music" (or something), and found them. Well, this band is so good I almost don't even want to tell you so they will be available should I ever have another giant party and want amazing live music. They were so easy to work with, played the music we liked, and covered a wide range of styles. When I wasn't dancing, I was listening to my guests rave about them. Stop searching and HIRE THEM. You can thank me later.

First off, We would like to thank Gabe, Ed, Robert, and Andy for travelling over 6.5 hours to perform at our wedding! Knowing that we were busy trying to 'herd cats', they immediately went to work setting up and getting familiar with the venue. Gabe stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process and made sure our expectations were being met. The music flowed seamlessly and we received so many compliments from guests. Kudos to 'The Class' for making our night something we and our guests will never forget!

I love this band. They played at my wedding over the weekend and were a huge hit. Every guest I spoke with raved about their performances. Not only were their sets on-point, but they dressed very, very nicely. They fit in perfectly with the wedding's vibe. I also appreciate that they worked the room and tried to get some interactive experiences happening. Gabe was also such a dream to work with; he is extremely accommodating and very supportive during the whole wedding song planning process. I'd highly recommend them for any event.

We hired The Class Band to play at our daughter's wedding reception this past weekend. They did not disappoint! Wow!!! I cannot tell you how many guests complimented our band choice. They had the dance floor packed until the bittersweet end at midnight. They left us all wanting more!!! Bravo, guys...you appealed to every generation at our weeding, young and old and we cannot thank you enough. You killed it!!!

From day 1 before we even booked them, Gabe was very responsive. He answered all my e-mails within 24 hours and answered all my questions thoroughly and honestly. On the day of the wedding their talent shined. They are amazing musicians. I myself am a musician and several of my invited guests were trained and accomplished musicians and song writer. Everyone raved about how much they loved the band. Their variety of music is incredible and their talent and skill are amazing. I would recommend The Class to anyone looking for a band that can play a wide variety of music.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on August 22, 2016•From Tujunga, CA
Having The Class band perform at our party was our priviledge! These guys are a definite "class act". Wow I was expecting a lot and they surpassed my expectations! Great playlist to choose from and they make you feel like you are a part of the process with choosing songs you want them to play and then on top of it they cater their break time song list to the same vibe so there is never a time at the party without music. We needed them to play at a sound level so we could all talk. No problem. Professional every step of the way, no drama, low maintenance and high caliber performance. These guys are the real deal and every one of them are super nice! Rock on!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 17, 2015•From Dana Point, CA
The Class Band and Gabe, who was our primary contact, were professional and very easy to work with. They were able to navigate patiently through the many opinions and ideas of bride, groom, mother of bride..,and provided lots of good feedback and guidance. It certainly showed on the wedding day. They made our reception memorable for our guests and two weeks later they are all still talking about how fun it was. Great music, a great vibe and a terrific song selection that appealed to everyone. Our guests did not stop dancing until the band's last song. I highly recommend them for wedding receptions or any event. You can't go wrong with this band.

Everybody danced, everybody asked how we found them.
They learned multiple songs for our ceremony and first dance.
They helped us craft a unique ring bearer bit.
Total professionals, super nice guys.
Tip: add the saxophonist for sure. The dude is top notch.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 16, 2015•From San Marcos, CA
Great guys, great music! Out of 150 guest at our wedding we received 150 compliments on the band. The Class is a very apt name for such a classy, fun bunch. Gabe, who was my point of contact before the wedding, was always cool, calm, collected, and personable. They were accommodating and learned an adaptation of a song for our first dance. We had some issues with our DJ (who we hired to fill the band's breaks) trying to take over, but Gabe took charge and relieved a lot of stress for us for the two days prior. From kids to grandparents, every one was on the dance floor. They really know how to keep it light and fun. I could not recommend them enough.

The Class was completely perfect for our wedding. They nailed everything - set list, style of play, their look, and their energy. It was a black tie wedding but we wanted a band that could put on a killer dance party for a relatively younger crowd (late 20s). Additionally, they were extremely easy to deal with (VERY responsive, accommodating, etc.) and were great guys overall. I highly recommend them for a wedding.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 21, 2015•From Temecula, CA
The Class performed at our wedding and we were really pleased that they were a part of our day.
Gabe dealt with my wife from my beginning and she alway commented on how he was awesome to work with. I couldn't agree more.
We had an eclectic mix of people at our wedding and rather than put together a play list, Gabe said that he would feel out the vibe. I honestly wasn't sure that anyone would dance before the band started playing but throughout the reception, the dance floor was packed. The guys looked sharp on stage and everyone had a great time listening to their music.
They were a great band that really delivered the vibe that we were looking for.

Gabe, along with the rest of the band were outstanding! Throughout the whole planning process Gabe was always responsive to my request and questions. Both my husband and I felt extremely comfortable booking with them and there was never a doubt that we made the right decision. The band learned two new songs for us and performed excellently! A few days before the wedding we had a few sound issues and Gabe came to our rescue as well. All of our guests were raving about the band and said they had a ton of fun dancing to their music. If you're looking for a band who can play a wide range of genres, is reliable and professional, this is your band!

They were so easy to reach & discuss the vision for our wedding. They played for the ceremony with acoustic guitars, cocktail hour with a grand piano provided by the venue & reception with all members of their band. They were versatile & most accommodating with all requests. They learned a few new selections but already knew the type of music we wanted. We would certainly use them again.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! My wedding was 2 weeks ago, and I can't say enough good things about The Class.
Gabe was our go-to guy, and he was very responsive, flexible, and organized- The Class was the easiest vendor to coordinate with, and this is valuable when you are dealing with a handful of other vendors. During our initial correspondence, I told Gabe that I wanted a "giant, classy party"... and they delivered. The groom also had a few surprises up his sleeve, and Gabe worked with him last-minute to pull everything off. In fact, there were a number of moving parts that we threw at the band last-minute, and they took it all in stride. Don't hesitate to book them!

The Class Band was a true Class Act from start to finish. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, they were extremely attentive in making sure everything was prepared for the upcoming event. On the day of the wedding, we couldn't have asked for anything more. The band handled all of our music (both live and recorded) as well as the PA for announcements, etc. Their live performance was outstanding in every way. They played the songs that we requested and they knew the right order to play them in. I was happy to see so many of my guests dancing and enjoying themselves. The feedback we got was all extremely positive. We highly recommend these guys to anyone!

The Class was exactly what we wanted in a wedding band! My husband and I were very picky about finding a band that would play some fun dance music, but also not be a typical cheesy wedding band. We were so excited to find The Class. The guys were extremely easy to work with and made our reception a night to remember. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a fun dance floor!!

To say these guys are fantastic is a huge understatement. The most common thing I kept hearing the week following the wedding was "who was that band? They were incredible." Their song catalog is extensive and their musicianship is top notch. Seamless transitions between some songs were just too good!

We had our wedding at a winery in Santa Ynez and The Class Band could not have been a better fit. They were professional, accommodating and sounded amazing! We had them play an acoustic set at the ceremony as well as the four piece band at the reception and both were phenomenal. Our first dance song was not a well known one and it was by no means an easy one to learn, but we could not have been happier with the version they produced. They even let us borrow their mic set up for our officiant and speeches during dinner. We really could not have asked for a better ensemble than The Class Band. Thanks Gabe!!

The Class are WONDERFUL! They were super professional, both before and during the wedding. I never worried about a thing - Gabe was always proactive about planning and ironing out details ahead of time. He always got back to me quickly, whether it was about a specific song request or allowing a family member to play with them during the reception. The best part is that these are generally chill guys who we were happy to have at our wedding! Yes, there are a lot of tacky wedding bands out there. But these guys make playing weddings cool. If you are looking for a tastefully hipster-ish band that plays great music and is super professional, these are your guys!

Holiday Party•Reviewed on January 14, 2014•From Santa Monica, CA
Professional, Hip, Unforgettable Fun.
They played our event for five hours (the first two consisting of cocktail-hour lounge music). They provide killer vocals, musicianship and an overall sound while offering the most competitive rates compared with other bands I researched; we got a quality dance party and so much value by hiring them.
In the days following our event, our guests raved and expressed gratitude for the party– it was a great time: and praise for the band was unanimous. They were a total hit. I'm happy and grateful to the band for helping us to make our event so memorable.
