I host an annual event where we usually hire a band. We hired Jen and The Men last year to rave reviews and everyone indicated that they wanted them back this year. Due to some scheduling issues, we had to bring them in for a different night (Friday instead of Saturday) but they were as popular as ever. A wide variety of music genres were played and people were up dancing. My event has a wide age range, very similar to a wedding , so I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for that perfect wedding band. You won't be disappointed!

Jen and the Men are amazing! We first saw them playing at a local event before we were even engaged. When it came time to choose our wedding band, there was no other option - we had to have them!! The band is so incredibly talented and Jen can belt out those tunes like nobody's business! They made our wedding reception a huge success and kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end. They are super easy to work and coordinate with and it could not have been more fun to hear then perform.

First off Jen and the Men are the best cover band I have ever seen. They were recommended through friends and I can tell you they delivered. They are not only great musicians, they also interact with the audience, have a great light and sound setup, and they are incredibly professional. I do not want to make this sound like an overblown review, but the band was truly the highlight of the night and everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend them to all my family and friends, and if I ever personally need a band they will be my first call!

Jen and the Men were awesome! They really made the reception. Jen has a great voice and they were super easy to work with on and leading up to the date. A wide range of songs that everyone can get on board with. A band is an excellent option and these guys come highly recommended!

We hired Jen and The Men to play at our wedding last fall (Nov. 8th, 2014) and we really couldn't be happier with the service that they provided. From our initial meeting with the band's manager, Brian, until the very end, they were such a pleasure to work with. They were honest, genuine and always there to respond to any questions that we had as we were going through our preparations. Unlike a lot of other bands that we saw perform, Jen and The Men band has amazing chemistry and with Jen's strong vocals they really know how to put on a show. They are one of the few bands that has a very diverse repertoire, which ensures that all guests are happy with the song choices. Everyone at our wedding loved them and even months after our event, we are still receiving great feedback. We would be happy to recommend them to anyone! Jen and The Men, thank you again for being part of our big day!

Jen and the men played at our daughters wedding August 2014. People are still talking about the amazing time they had and the great music. The dance floor was full from start to finish 830pm til 1am. They were amazing. They were very accommodating, professional, easy to talk to, (Brian was amazing in setting things up), one incredible band. Jen, for such a tiny person has an amazing strong and powerful voice. She can sing anything. You sure get your money worth and more. We highly recommend this amazing band. I will tell you one thing, you will NOT be disappointed. They put on a great show.
They can play any type of music. We gave them a list of songs we would like and if they didnt know it, the leant it. Jenn, you did an amazing job with father and daughter dance, "I loved her first" and "My wish for you" for mother and son dance. And of course, my favorite, "Just dance"
Thank you so much Jen and the Men for an incredible night and making our daughters special day, and an amazing one.
God Bless.

We came across Jen and the Men while searching through hundreds of bands listed on the various wedding sites for the Greater Toronto Area. Brain (the band manager) was very quick to respond to our query and gave us plenty of information and links to videos and audio clips for us to get an idea of what we could expect from the band. That was just the beginning. While we discussed our needs for the night, Brian was very helpful in ensuring we had a complete entertainment package (DJ, lights, Band) and worked with us to customize the set-list for our multi-ethnic wedding. We were even invited to a public concert by the band a few weeks before the wedding and given back-stage access to meet everyone in person. As for the big day, Jenny James and the entire crew were nothing short of fantastic. Right from the start they pulled the crowd on to the dance floor and managed to keep them there the entire night with the high-energy covers, classic ballads and some really fun originals. On behalf of our friends and family, who are still commenting on how much fun the band was, thank-you very much for an awesome show! Much love, Magdalena and Ahmad. (Oct 11,2014)
