The Free Downloads

Picking a band was one of the most important factors in my wedding planning. My friends are all music people and it was important we had a band that would get people dancing. The Free Downloads exceeded every one of my already high expectations. I knew they sounded amazing in the studio samples. I would say they sounded just as awesome, if not better, in person. They learned all the music we asked them to and they sounded incredible. They were fun, funny, and energetic. They played until the last moment our venue would let them. George, the bandleader, was great to work with and flexible. I was even emailing him the morning of the wedding. I couldn't have been happier!

Everyone loved the band! We had 140 guests aging from 10-95 and this band got everyone dancing. I can't tell you how many people came up to me asking where I found the band because they were just wonderful. Our wedding took place on an island, but the Free Downloads took moving all of their gear out on ferries totally in stride. They were flexible when some of our timeline (that they were MCing) was a bit off and really worked well with a bride who doesn't know much about weddings. Honestly, more than I could have asked for, they made it a wonderful night!

We could not have been happier with The Free Downloads' performance at our wedding, we're so glad we found them! They were extremely professional & accommodating, learning songs from Sinatra & Bobby Darin to klezmer to I'm On A Boat. Their performance was fantastic. They are not only extremely talented, they're also really fun people--they kept everyone dancing for their nearly six-hour set. One guest said she would hear a song and think the iPod had been plugged in, only to realize the band was still playing as they nailed every song, from Beyonce to Norah Jones to Bon Jovi to Cee Lo. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, we can't recommend them highly enough.

George was a great acoustic guitarist, very reasonably priced and willing to work around my distance issues (planning an RI wedding from Australia), by emailing me recordings of the music he was going to play for our processional and recessional. He was very patient as I changed my mind several times about the recessional and the final versions were beautiful. He is also in a band that does weddings too.
