Class, professionalism, and musicianship that THE TAKE FIVE BAND brought to the reception was unsurpassed by any other group that I have witnessed in all the weddings I have been to in my lifetime. They got everyone on the dance floor. They played all requested songs, sounded amazing and were so much fun ! Meredith , the female vocalist , has the most powerful , beautiful voice ever. Every song came with meaning. This is the band you want to hire.....they will not disappoint !Linda C
We recently worked with the Take Five Band for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! Michael was wonderful to work with and so easy to communicate with. He was helpful with providing suggestions but at the end of the day wanted everything to be perfect for us. The band itself was so engaging and so much fun! The vocals from Michael and his daughter were incredible. Our guests are still raving about them! I would recommend Take Five to anyone. They truly made our wedding spectacular!!Lauren L

We worked with Take Five Band for our wedding in Cape May and we could not be happier with our decision. We are family friends with the band and know them as kind, hardworking and fun but after attending several of their performances we saw just how talented they are. They made the process seamless for us and were also open to suggestions and changes. The day of the wedding the ensured everything went smoothly from important announcements to entrances and first dances they were wonderful MCs. They had everyone dancing and having a wonderful time all night and Meredith was outstanding and we received so many compliments on how amazingly talented she is! Thank you Take Five Band for making our wedding so fun and memorable Maddy F
...Take Five was Awesome! They played a variety of music and were willing to perform songs not on their usual playlist. Numerous guests commented to us how good the Band was! We cannot say enough what a great Band they are and how very pleased we were to have them at our big celebration! And if we have another big party, we would certainly hire Take Five again! Thanks so much to Michael and Take Five for making our celebration a wonderful event! Lynn A
