5 stars is not enough, Mike is by far the best person we dealt with for our wedding. When you have a wedding, you deal with so many people, it's a difficult time at a time when you should be enjoying it. The place we had our wedding was severely lacking in attention to detail & left us with no timeframes. Mike stepped up and helped us have a very special day with his attention to detail, awesome talent on the guitar and his professionalism. I love rock music and my wife loves Taylor Swift & emo groups- somehow Mike put together a playlist that had the best of both worlds. He wasnt just pushing buttons, he was a truly Master of Cermonies & we cannot thank him enough!

Mike and Those Guys were an absolute joy to work with. They take their jobs very seriously, but also know that it's about having fun and doing whatever it takes to make your event perfect. They saved the day on our wedding and went above and beyond simply playing music and providing entertainment. Mike helped sort out some issues with our wedding day setup and was an excellent liaison between the Maitre d and the rest of the vendors/staff. We cannot say enough about their support for us, and even if we weren't having a wedding we would want to be friends with Those Guys. Awesome job, 11 out of 10!!

My wife and I can not begin to say enough about Those Guys, they are truly the perfect wedding band. Their talent level, engagement with the crowd, and ease of process were just a few of the highlights that helped make them a vital piece of our special day. Micheal is fantastic to work with, you just can't find someone that is as easy to get along with and listens better to your needs. We would never hesitate to recommend their services and will surely keep Those Guys in mind for other events we have in the future.

Those Guys Entertainment delivered everything expected and so much more! I cannot express my gratitude and awe of how they added the perfect touch to the best day of my life! Mike was so warm, approachable, and easy to work with. The band rocked! It was such a joy seeing my whole family dance the night away to a variety of music. We were able to tailor-make our ceremony songs, cocktail hour, and reception. TGE provided microphones for the speeches, made important announcements, and ensured the night moved along according to plan. This band is seriously talented and I can't wait for an opportunity to hire them again! THANK YOU GUYS!!!

We used Those Guys for our wedding this past weekend and are so glad that we did! Everything from communication leading up to the wedding, the mic/sound equipment for our officiant, the dance floor lighting and of course the music was perfect. As soon as the band started playing the dance floor was full and stayed full until the wedding was over. Those Guys played the perfect songs to keep the partying going! All of our friends and family can't stop talking about our amazing wedding band!!! I can not say enough great things about this bands talent and professionalism. Thank you to Mike and Those Guys!!

What a priviledge it was to meet Mike and book Those Guys CT to play for our wedding!!! From the logistics to the day of the event Mike made sure our day was special. The band was able to accommodate both of our musical requests on very different ends of the music spectrum even mixing a few things together for our entertainment. Those Guys took time to learn some new material at our request so it could be played live on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Those Guys for any special event. Thank you Mike and the rest of Those Guys CT Entertainment.

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the performance of Those Guys for our wedding reception as well as Mike's acoustic performances for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Mike was able to assist with the entire day as a vocalist, guitarist, MC and band leader. We asked to have a keyboardist and vocalist added for the reception and were so happy that we did. We would recommend Those Guys for your next event. He truly is talented and we had so much fun dancing with our guests. The communication before, during and throughout the process with Mike was superb. He is a very kind family man and very good at what he does.

Celebration•Reviewed on June 13, 2019•From Brewster, NY
Those guys did an amazing job for our party! Mike did everything to make sure we were happy, went over all the details for us and basically everything ran perfectly smooth. When we booked with him my husband and I sat down and he gave us the whole scoop, asked questions to make sure we were on the same page and was very professional and clear. We had a duo since we had a small party but man did they nail the songs. We requested a 90's alt/rock playlist and they delivered! All of our guests after said how great the band was! Thank you to Those Guys for an awesome evening and performance!

Nat and Matt,
Wow what a blast! We had a great time, your family was amazing and I am so glad the duo worked out just like I thought it would. You both have great taste in music..... but I am a little biased! All of our best to the two of you, and thank you for trusting u.

Those guys 3 person band performed at our wedding last night and I couldn’t wait to give them a review. We had 200 guests and most of them hit the dance floor and not many left! The song choices were perfect and the talent was amazing. Mike worked with me for months to coordinate the evening and was funny, responsive, professional and so incredibly kind. The band played my requested songs for the ceremony, light rock during cocktail our and the best party music after dinner. I am so happy we chose Those Guys and our guests were too. Everyone raves about them and I highly recommend them for your event! Thanks again guys!!!

We had the privilege of having Those Guys play at our wedding. With all the stress that comes with weddings, the one thing we didn't have to ever stress about was the emcee and the music. From the beginning, Mike was dedicated to making this the perfect day for not only us but for our friends and family as well. He met all of our requests and gave us suggestions to make sure the day ran smoothly. The music and the entertainment were incredible. All of our guests raved about their performance and their enthusiasm. Mike was a great emcee and the band was incredibly talented musicians who got the place rocking from start to finish. We couldn't have been happier!

Those guys went above and beyond meeting my expectations. Before the party, Mike was always available to answer any of my questions on planning logistics. He also wanted to make sure the guest of honor and guests would hear music they'd enjoy and so welcomed all my song requests/suggestions. At the party, everyone was super impressed with their talent, professionalism and friendliness. I look forward to having the opportunity to book Those Guys again at another occasion. Thanks so much!

They did a great job getting a bunch of non dance inclined folks out on the dance floor! Easy to work with and accommodated us by learning our first dance songs and a few other requests. Everyone had a great time and we'd def recommend them to any of our friends looking to get married in the future. Way better than a DJ - they were able MC and play the songs throughout the night and keep the energy up!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 8, 2018•From Lake George, NY
Those Guys were the perfect band for our wedding. My husband really wanted a band, and our venue could only accommodate a 3-piece band. I came across Those Guys online, and from the 1st conversation he had with Mike, he knew they'd fit perfectly. They played an awesome variety of songs and even coordinated my husband to join them for 2 songs during the reception! People commented on how great they were at the wedding and were still talking about how great they were a month later! Mike was super helpful working out the details and really helped guide us in the right direction. We can't thank them enough for an amazing night and traveling all the way to Lake George NY!

Those Guys did a FANTASTIC job at our small wedding in CT. Getting our families to dance is no easy feat but they did an amazing job of engaging our guests and overall were just a pleasure to work with from booking till the end. There were a few times during the wedding where a few things logistically needed to get switched around, like the cake cutting and a family member played us a song, and Mike just rolled with the changes and made the order of new events feel like it was planned that way the whole time. Everyone also commented and how awesome they’re playlist was for the evening. I can’t say enough about Those Guys! Thank you!

Those Guys played at our wedding reception in December 2017 and we could not be more satisfied with the band! Mike and the band members are all super professional, talented and energetic! Mike handled the communication and did such a great job, he is very experienced and it showed throughout the entire planning process to wedding day! So many guests at the wedding said how great the band was! They kept the dance floor going for hours! Nice work boys! I recommend Those Guys for any wedding looking for a professional, hardworking and talented band! SIX STARS!!

Mike showed up to the space HOURS before the event was scheduled, he was tuning and making his setup sound and look professional and fit the overall vibe we had discussed in previous phone conversations.
We asked Mike and Those Guys to learn a few new songs and they absolutely NAILED IT! Mike played an acoustic version of The Zelda main theme and put his own spin on it for our ceremony and it was just beautiful. Those Guys came prepared with mics for both ceremony and reception. From our perspective they were the perfect band. They played what we wanted to hear, and what kept the crowd on the dance floor all night.
They did an amazing job would recommend!
:
The best thing about this job is getting to work with amazing couples like the two of you. Thank you both, what a pleasure we had and holy cow your family can dance like nobody's business! Thank you for a wonderful night and for trusting us with everything, and for being the cool couple who wants the Legend of Zelda theme after ceremony! All of our best and many wonderful days to come!

Those Guys were the perfect band for our wedding. They played an awesome variety of songs that appealed to every
age group in attendance. People were coming up to me all night saying how much fun they were having and how much they loved the band. From the moment they started playing people were on the dance floor the entire night.
Mike was super helpful working out the details before the event and really helped guide us in the right direction. He was really accommodating when we had some special requests for songs, colors, and the order of events. I know he was doing a ton of work behind the scenes too, which made everything go super smoothly.
Thanks Guys!

AMAZING! Those Guys are absolutely sensational in every sense of the word. We were ecstatic to have them play at our Awareness Event this weekend. Countless people came up to me at the event asking about who the band was because they loved them. This was my second time hiring Those Guys & it will definitely not be the last. Those Guys know how to bring an event to the next level for entertainment of all ages.
If you are looking for band who is professional, sensational, fun, gets people dancing & above ALL else is a total package look no further than Those Guys. Your event will be elevated instantly with Those Guys & your guests are guaranteed to love them!

Those Guys did an awesome job with our wedding reception. They were professional in all aspects of the event, including planning beforehand and double checking the details. Mike was on top of everything, even when I threw last minute changes at him.
As far as the actual reception, I was blown away with their talent and range of both genres and vocals they were able to it. Nearly half my guests came up to me during or after the reception and noted how impressive they were. I genuinely could not have asked for a better band.

Those Guys were fantastic, I booked well in advance of my wedding and they kept in contact the whole time. Planning a wedding from abroad can be so hard but Mike made this so easy. You were everything we wanted in a wedding band and our guests are still talking about how great you were 2 months on. I also loved the version you played for our first dance song - Lana Del Ray. It was perfect and such a wonderful surprise to hear it this way. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding unforgettable!

I cannot begin to describe how AMAZING Those Guys were!! From the first conversation we had with Mike, to the last song they played at our wedding, we could not have asked for a better band. They had so many people up and dancing that we couldn't fit everyone on the dance floor and people were dancing in the aisles!
Everything about them was fantastic - they are so polite, professional, and kind. Any request we had, they made happen. A band can really make or break a wedding, and hiring Those Guys is a sure fire way to make your wedding the best. I've never heard so many guests rave about the band!!!
Thank you guys, you made our wedding so memorable and fun :)

Mike and Those Guys far exceeded our expectations at our wedding! We were so excited to walk into our pre-ceremony cocktail hour to see Mike strumming and singing away. Before the ceremony Mike had helped wire our officiant and the sound at our outdoor mountain wedding was perfect. He transitioned each part of the event seamlessly. The band kept people dancing for our reception, and was able to read the crowd and respond accordingly. Working with Mike prior to the wedding was easy and fun and Those Guys absolutely made our wedding perfect.

Those Guys are incredible - we are thrilled we picked them for our wedding. Just trust them - they know exactly what they are doing! People danced the entire night - and wouldn't stop talking about how good the band was!
Mike was a complete pleasure to work with - an absolute professional and one of the nicest guys out there. We had no idea what we were doing - he had several conversations with us to let us know what works and what doesn't for a wedding. And he helped us figure out a timeline of events that was exactly what we wanted.
I can't say enough about how awesome this band is! Fred is the best!

Those guys were AWESOME! I got so many compliments from my guests that they played songs that EVERYONE knew. They took all my requests perfectly, and even last minute let one of my guests get up and since with them. They kept the crowd entertained and were so easy to work with. Plus they are very affordable! Would highly recommend them!
