Vancouver Wedding Band Reviews

Professional, accommodating, and highly skilled

Professional, accommodating, and highly skilled

The cost for their services was very fair in comparing to some similar calibre bands. We liked the way they communicated through email and forms, and they were responsive and personal. Their rendition of our first dance song was flawless and felt so good to do our practiced 1st dance routine to. They brought the energy All. Night. Long. Boy did those horns POP. Voices were phenomenal.

The perfect band for our wedding reception...

The perfect band for our wedding reception! We had The Phonix for four hours and it wasn't long enough. They had everyone dancing until the very end of the night. They play a perfect mix of music which caters to everyone in the crowd. The Phonix was also so easy to plan with and made the process very stress free. It is such a special memory for us.

We are from the UK and wanted to get married in Vancouver, but were concerned about a destination wedding and not being to see the band live was a worry for us. After narrowing down the choices from the bands listed on WeddingWire, I went on the Phonix's website and immediately fell in love with the band and the playlist. The entire process from booking to the day was flawless. We would highly recommend!

They will 100% make your special day perfection.

The Phonix were by far the best decision we made for our wedding. They were beyond amazing and such a breeze to work with. The music is great, the band is great, and Reuben is amazingly helpful. They went above and beyond all of our expectations for the day and I would highly recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. They will 100% make your special day perfection.

Old school and different than your average wedding or cover band.

Old school and different than your average wedding or cover band. Our experience was great: they were quick to respond and easy to work with. We had a small group (80 guests) and we were worried that nobody would dance...but people couldn't resist and they all danced!

The kitchen couldn't even serve the dessert course because every single guest was up dancing!

What an amazing band! The jazz music they started with was the perfect background for dinner. Then they kicked it up with vocals, wow!! What powerful singers! The kitchen couldn't even serve the dessert course because every single guest was up dancing! One of the senior servers told me she had never seen this happen before!

A variety of music that we could really dance to

We had the most amazing time at my daughter's recent wedding celebration. Phonix provided all the guests with a variety of music that we could really dance to and I had so many guests ask me "how did you find this band?" The band was professional and easy to deal with. The hotel venue staff and management appreciated how much excitement and fun the band provided to all the guests who danced the night away.

They absolutely nailed our first dance song

The best word I can use to describe The Phonix is WOW. They were fantastic, people were on the dance floor right from the first song until the lights came on. They absolutely nailed our first dance song don't think there was a dry eye in the house. When they played our other request Happy by Pharrell Williams the dance floor was packed.

I love The Phonix

I love The Phonix and had the pleasure of attending their Funk Train event at The Imperial in the summer. Reuben and his team are so entertaining and the dance lesson included was the highlight of the night. Coming from someone that has no dancing skills I jumped on the dancefloor eager to learn and didn't leave it until the end of the night. Guests of all ages were left laughing and engaging in one long Soul Train dance. What a fun night!

The most memorable party of our lives!

When hiring a band for a wedding you fear they will be bad or not engage the group and ruin the party of your life - however, with Phonix they made it the most memorable party of our lives! They are so much fun.

Thinking about hiring a band versus a DJ? This Is The Band.

We could not have had more fun at our reception without The Phonix! The Phonix really brought the house down at our wedding in such a phenomenal way. We had guests partying and dancing until the very end. We were so hyped up on the music and the vibe thanks to them that we had a great amount of energy to extend our reception to an after party that ran right into the morning. The memories from that night go down in history, and all the while, The Phonix is there adding melody and amusement to them.

A favourite part of hiring The Phonix to play at our wedding was the ability to have them learn a song for us. Needless to say, the husband took the opportunity to have the band play the wife's favourite song: This Must Be the Place. Not only did they play it, but they excelled at it! Having the first dance song played live is an incredible experience, and one we highly suggest hiring The Phonix for.

The entire process is very easy, and we felt extremely confident in choosing them. So in closing, if you are thinking about hiring a band versus a DJ or hiring The Phonix versus another, take it from us. We would not have done it any other way. This Is The Band.

Incredibly reliable, they were able to throw an awesome show on very short notice

The Phonix were awesome! Incredibly reliable, they were able to throw an awesome show on very short notice, which was an enormous relief!! And if anybody is thinking of hiring a DJ instead of this band, let me tell you now - you'd be wasting money. No question. The other great thing about the Phonix is you can catch their show every Thursday at Backstage Lounge, so you can hear what you'll be hearing at your event instead of flying in blind.
