HI Mike,
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Free Spirit! Wow what a night we had with the band Free Spirit. If you love music this band is truly the one for your event. They kept the crowd going all night long and really knew the songs that we all loved. The crowd did not stop dancing til the end and we loved the long sets of music that we had with them. The musicians and singers in this band are all truly top notch in every way. The band blends beautifully and every song is in perfect harmony.
We loved that the singers and musicians came onto the dance floor and got the crowd involved in the show. These were special moments to sing and dance together. Super personal and very engaging. They also dressed perfectly.
Mike is an excellent MC. He is really watching the schedule and running the event to the minute. His announcements are always energetic, fun and engaging and so precise. This was a special part of the evening as well. He engages with the crowd in a perfect,seamless and fun way!
We loved the 90 second couples dances as wellMarried couple, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son and both parents. These short songs were beautifully done!
The booking, scheduling and payment processing were also very professionally done. They keep to the timelines and work very well with what you want for the wedding day.
We would highly recommend Free Spirit you will love having them play for you. They truly play from their hearts and souls at your event.
Please also send my thank yous all the way back to Pat Richitt who knew to call and talk to me about how great Free Spirit is! He was spot on.
All the best to all of the Band members. Thank you for making John and Emily's wedding so special and memorable. So many guests told me how much they loved the band.
Warm Regards,
Lynn

Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it for your team. I hope you know that we’ve been asked by four people already how that playlist was curated because it was the best band they’ve ever seen. The compliments keep rolling in about how fantastic the music and MCing was. You and your team are awesome. Jenn Abbott and Brian Sweeney, married on 12/29/23

Everything was absolutely exceptional from start to finish and we have continued to hear from guests how wonderful the band was in the weeks following!

Absolutely perfect. Mike and his band were so great from start to finish. They were easy to work with and listened to all of our requests and worked with us to make it the best night. The band members were so fun and sounded amazing the whole night. It was one of the highlights of our wedding!

Working with your company was a wonderful experience. Your entire team is super professional and throughout the process made us feel like family. We have used two of your bands for our weddings and highly recommend your services. We hired Free Spirit for our daughter's wedding on 5/6 and they were awesome!!! They helped make the evening PERFECT!

Free Spirit played at our sons wedding on 12/31/22. They were MOST AMAZING band I have ever heard!! They absolutely made my sons NYE wedding extra special. From their music, to their professionalism, to their communication skills...we would hire them again in a second!! Someone told us that one of the most important aspects at a wedding reception is the band you choose. We had many options to choose from & did our homework. Free Spirit nailed it!!

Free Spirit was the best! Thanks to Free Spirit for such an amazing evening on Saturday night! I wanted to pass along that I received numerous comments that Free Spirit was the best wedding band people have ever heard, and that the playlist they used was the best they had experienced. We could not have had more fun!!

It was awesome working with Free Spirit
Just a quick note to say how awesome it was to work with Free Spirit for Madeline and Jacob's wedding. I'm still trying to catch my breath from the whirlwind weekend.
They were very responsive from the start and I knew we were in good hands from other weddings where I saw the band perform. But I was absolutely blown away from the very first song!
My husband David didn't have much interest in the wedding details but when he found out we had Free Spirit, he was super excited. He kept telling everyone how they were the best years ago and are still the best band around today no comparison! I completely agree with him!
I loved that so many of our guests were on the dance floor during the hora having a blast (a highlight for me) and Madeline and Jacob had fun in the chairs! They were great at keeping the party going until the bitter end.
Mike, the singers, musicians, and crew really made the evening a success.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the day so special for us!

Free Spirit is AMAZING!
Thanks to Free Spirit for playing such an integral role in our wedding day. They are AMAZING and were exactly what we envisioned to make our day extra special and fun. Everyone had a blast, and that was in large part due to the band. They stuck with us through two postponements and they were so flexible through it all. We are so grateful that we finally got to work with them. Thanks again for making our day so special!

We LOVED Free Spirit! We absolutely loved having Free Spirit at our wedding and know that we made the right decision choosing them.
From the moment they came on stage to the last song of the night, the dance floor was rocking! Every aspect of the band was great, starting with their style and presence, their song selection, and most importantly their musical talent. So many guests at our wedding came up to say they were the best wedding band they had ever seen. Plenty of people came up to us and wanted to know how we found them because they were so great.
We also had some interactions with various members of the band and crew and they were all so fun and kind to talk to off the stage. Even the sound guy was a crowd favorite, jamming out with all the guests while still keeping everything going well. We did appreciate how they learned the requested songs for our wedding as well and how great the performances were.
And one of our favorite parts was when the band went into a slew of punk songs from our era and even brought us on stage. It truly was an amazing experience that we will surely never forget.

Highly recommend Free Spirit!
Free Spirit absolutely rocked the house! They completely understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding and people are still talking about how great they were! They have an impressive range of songs and are extremely talented. They were also incredibly professional, communicative, and easy to work with. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID and they were very understanding and flexible. We are SO glad we chose Free Spirit and would highly recommend them. Thank you so much, Mike and Free Spirit!

Gemma A. married on 08/20/2022
Free Spirit absolutely blew it out of the water! Mike, you were a dream to work with, so flexible, patient, and kind. The band was truly incredible, your voices were amazing and you all kept the dance floor packed with hit after hit! We are still receiving texts from our guests that Free Spirit was the best wedding band they have ever experienced and we couldn't agree more. It was an absolute party and guests loved how interactive Free Spirit was with the crowd. We truly cannot thank you all enough! We are trying to figure out another big event we can throw just to party with Free Spirit again. 😂
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Free Spirit made our wedding the best night ever!!! Cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Free Spirit! The band came highly recommended and I am thrilled to say they EXCEEDED expectations!
From the beginning their band leader, Mike, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, which made planning a breeze. On top of playing a banging party the musicians did doubleduty to play guitar and violin for our ceremony. The beautiful music took the ceremony to a whole new level, and I have it on good authority that there were a lot of happy tears.
The reception was the most fun party I've ever been to and it was all because of Free Spirit. The musicians are all SO talented and the energy they brought was infectious!! We had to force people off of the dance floor to eat dinner. I was amazed with the wide variety of music the band was able to play (and play exceptionally well!) including our very specific requests including Schitt's Creek covers, Celine Dion, the Hora, along with tons of popular music.
The only disappointment was when the night was over and we had to go home! Thanks to the band for making our day incredible!

Free Spirit was incredible! We just got back from our honeymoon and have had enough time to properly reflect on the wedding and we just wanted to say thank you Free Spirit was incredible, they were everything we could have ever hoped for from a band, and it was such a fun time to have them play our wedding. Any chance I get I'll wholeheartedly recommend Free Spirit.

Free Spirit made our wedding. All the communications were prompt, helpful and friendly. The band, Free Spirit, was amazing. Everyone was blown away by their performance. A good band makes or breaks a party and they definitely “made” ours!

Absolutely blew the party out of the water! The dance floor stayed packed, and we still hear about the performance to this day. Their video was great, but it honestly doesn't do them justice. In terms of dollar for dollar, Free Spirit was definitively the best decision out of all of our wedding planning. I would recommend this band to anyone hoping to create a unique and memorable party.

Having Free Spirit at our wedding on 10/30/21 was one of our best wedding decisions! Free Spirit kept the energy and good vibes up all night long! Even before my husband and I entered our reception space, the dance floor was completely packed and our guests never stopped dancing! Mike was incredible to work with he was professional, organized, and made this part of the wedding planning process so fun! He kept the night moving along at the perfect pace so we were able to include all of the important dances and toasts, but also had time to dance and party! Free Spirit even went above and beyond to learn a Bruce Sringsteen song it was a truly special moment with my Dad and I that I will never forget! If you are looking for a wedding band that will keep guests dancing all night long, Free Spirit is the best decision you can make! Highly recommend!! Thank you so much, Free Spirit!
Thank you again!

Mike,
We're still riding high from what was quite possibly the best night of our lives, thanks in part to Free Spirit's amazing energy and talent. We didn't stop dancing with our guests... literally, people were still on the dance floor as the band was packing up to go. That's the sign of a great party!
We are so grateful to have had them as our wedding band. It was truly an unforgettable night!
Best
Megan & Jeff
