"We were lucky enough to book the Beat Chiefs for our Wedding. From the first conversation with Tom, we knew we were in great hands! They were so easy to work with — professional, responsive, and genuinely cared. We booked the quintet, and they were absolutely flawless from start to finish — their energy and talent were unmatched. They kept the party going with hit after hit, bringing the crowd into each song, and making sure everyone was on the dance floor all night long. We seriously didn’t sit down once! Everyone was blown away — we had guests constantly asking where we found them! Even our venue staff pulled us aside to say how lovely and gracious the band was to work with. They also transitioned into DJ mode for the late-night set, and the music never missed a beat. Truly, they were the highlight of the night and one of the most talked-about parts of our wedding. We can’t recommend The Beat Chiefs enough. They are truly the total package. If you want a top-tier band that delivers on EVERY level — book The Beat Chiefs now. Trust us, you won’t regret it! We love you guys, Kristen & Kurt."

"Their performance was brilliant, absolutely flawless! Very very professional and cannot honestly describe how good they sound! They were so accommodating that they agreed to play our first dance live! Special callout to Paul, he was very very helpful and quick to answer questions and doubts! Final recommendation, do not hesitate! book them NOW! They can get very busy! Oh and book the whole service, live band, Sax, premium DJ, and as much as you can, you will not regret it!"

"The Beat Chiefs were absolutely amazing! Paul was extremely responsive and accommodating with changes and requests. I would recommend The Beat Chiefs to family, friends, or strangers on the street. Their ability to get the crowd moving and stay moving is phenomenal. Well done, everyone! Thank you so much for making our special night so memorable!"

"Fabulous band. Couldn’t leave the dance floor as they just played tune and tune! Professional from the outset with great communication and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our guests loved the band and highly recommend. Feedback from other suppliers was how professional and lovely they were to work with. Thanks Beat Chiefs!"

"What a fantastic band! These guys were honestly incredible. From booking to the end of the night they made things so easy. Enthusiasm, communication and professionalism superb throughout. Prior to the event we let them know what genres we wished to hear and provided a varied mix alongside a playlist of our guests top picks to get them dancing - they smashed it. The first dance - we asked them to play our first dance in a specific way - acoustic start with a build. It was perfect and unforgettable. The band was so adaptive to the crowd, sensing the mood before moving to the next song. Mash-ups, seamless transitions and absolute bangers kept our guests running back to the dance floor. We loved every minute and will never forget it. We regrettably didn’t get a photo with the band, but our friend did…Thank you The Beat Chiefs."

"The Beat Chiefs were incredible. They were exactly the kind of vibe we were after - nice acoustic music for the cocktail hour and then upbeat for the party. Really nice group and the communication beforehand was thorough. Would really recommend!"

"The Beat Chiefs did an absolutely amazing job performing at our wedding in Tuscany! They were the talk of all the guests during but especially after the event. Everyone kept coming up to us at our farewell brunch raving about their performances at the wedding. But beyond the day of, I have to commend them for being the most refreshingly pleasant people to work with throughout the planning process! As a New Yorker, planning a wedding in Europe was incredibly challenging. You have to take a leap of faith everywhere you turn, unless you can fly back and forth at will. Part of the challenge stems from vendor communication, and this was an area where The Beat Chiefs, and Tom specifically, excelled! Working with Tom felt like working with one of my mates. Any request or question I had, no matter how silly or annoying, Tom handled like a complete professional, while making my wife and I feel completely comfortable and at ease. There is a ton of stress planning a wedding, but these guys were a huge bright spot the whole time. Now back to the performance. We originally signed TBC because we loved their repertoire. Specifically, we loved the pop punk set with Blink-182 and similar throwbacks that revived our childhood nostalgia. Little did we know, they had so much more to offer. They played live sax and piano for our ceremony walks, live sax at the cocktail hour, a roaming band set at dinner (they even took requests from the crowd and starting playing right away). The roaming band dinner music was a true unexpected highlight. They had our guests singing along to Stand by Me. All in all, I can’t recommend The Beat Chiefs enough. They are truly the full package, and you will not regret the decision to work with them. I dare you to find a better group! With Love, Kyle and Amanda!"

They performed the songs to an incredible standard and they really entertained and interacted with the guests and got the room involved!
