Parkside Drive

Parkside Drive was the absolute best addition to our wedding! Just about everyone came up to us throughout the evening and commented on how great they were. They kept everyone dancing all night long, were super easy to communicate with, and really made our wedding special. If you're looking for live music at your event, I would highly recommend Parkside Drive!

Parkside Drive completely exceeded our expectations! With Covid in full force while we were planning our April 2022 wedding, we never had the opportunity to see Parkside Drive live so we committed based on their videos and our numerous conversations with Dave. He was so easy to work with and, given the uncertainty surrounding
Covid, was always accommodating as we worked through the potential roadblocks of the band making it to Buffalo. Our first dance was the first time we actually heard them perform live and it was so much better than we could have imagined. They are clearly professionals who know how to set the tone for a great party. We left the setlist completely up to them and the dance floor was full all night! Our guests are still talking about how great the music was from start to finish. We really cannot recommend Parkside Drive enough!

We could not have asked for a better band to perform at our wedding! Our wedding was in Buffalo, NY and Dave reached out far in advance to let us know that all of their paperwork was in place to come back and forth over the border for our wedding so there was nothing for us to worry about. Dave was very responsive and great to chat with when discussing details and plans. The band performed a trio during our ceremony, a 5-piece jazz band during the cocktail hour, and the full 9-piece band for the reception. The band performed and sang our first dance and both mother/groom and father/daughter songs - incredibly! They even did a (from what I know) last-minute happy birthday performance during my dad's speech. The band played the best mix of current and older songs that EVERYONE could dance to. We have not stopped receiving compliments from guests on how great the band was. We planned on having a live band from the beginning rather than a DJ, and they were everything we could have imagined for our special day and more! The dancefloor was packed the whole night! We can't recommend them enough!

I would like to sincerely thank Parkside Drive for their AMAZING performance at my wedding this month! Due to COVID, our wedding was postponed twice, but Parkside Drive was well worth the wait and we've received constant compliments and "thank you" emails and texts for hosting such a wonderful wedding, with such an "awesome band". We opted to add a male lead singer (Tarfari Anthony), which was the icing on the cake. We also loved when Meg (lead female) kept joining us on the dance floor! Highly recommend!!! There's no other band that could've given us this amazing experience and party that everyone waited so long and patiently for! Thank you Parkside!

We booked this band last minute after our previously-booked band bailed on us, a week before our wedding.

I think that it was meant to be, because Parkside Drive kept our dancefloor full from the minute they started playing until after the very last song they played. Not just the young folks, but also all of the elderly people that were at our wedding. Their song selections and energy just kept people dancing and singing along the whole time they performed. And the quick breaks they took were smoothly DJ-ed with our pre-arranged requests.

Our wedding was wet, cold, and somewhat disasterous on a few levels...but Parkside Drive saved our night and our guests' experience at our wedding.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to this band, to their kindness, prompt responses, and how they treated us and our guests.

I would hire them a million times over.
Thank you, Parkside Drive, for a joyful and memorable wedding reception!!!

I booked a 4 piece band with Parkside drive for my 35 guest wedding, even though the clip that sold me was for a 9 piece band for a large event. Quality live music and a band's ability to get a party started was so important to me, and after months of research I found a clip on YouTube of Parkside drive -- 2 bars of Meghan's voice and I was sold. Dave was flexible, accommodating, reasonably priced for the quality you get, and truly professional. Every band member is so talented and their rep list touches so many genres they're the ideal partners to help curate your dream atmosphere. All my guests commented on how amazing the band is, and even staff members from my venue in Niagara on the lake told me how much they loved this band. As a bride planning a wedding there are so many overwhelming decisions to make - this is an easy one! Book them.

If I could give Parkside Drive a higher rating than perfect, I would! From the initial introduction right through to our Wedding night, Dave was incredible to work with. He was super responsive and accommodating. The band itself is so high energy and truly exceeded our expectations. We heavily debated between a DJ and a band and I can honestly say it was the best decision we made for the wedding to hire Parkside Drive. We have received so many comments from our guests that the band was so much fun, especially after this last chaotic year, everyone was so happy to experience live music again! If you are debating, stop, and hire them! It is well worth it.

Everything we asked of them was executed perfectly. All of our friends and family raved and continue to rave about them. They are worth every single penny and a must have at any wedding reception.

We first heard Parkside Drive at a fundraiser and we knew right away they had to be our wedding band! We absolutely LOVED their sound, from the uniquely jazzy vocals on their lead singer to their interactiveness moving around the dance floor amongst our guests. It didn't feel at all like one of those big time stuffy bands that situate themselves on a raised stage and aren't present on their breaks, instead Parkside Drive was out on the dance floor with our guests as they sang, and when they were on break, they were interacting with everyone, making everyone feel welcome. There isn't any other band I would recommend more, and after our wedding everyone told us how much they loved their sound. Parkside Drive will not disappoint :)

Parkside Drive was terrific as our wedding band; very professional and easy to work with. They managed all the set up with the venue so we didn't have to stress about any sound set-up, provided the dj service when they weren't playing, and most importantly- sounded amazing. They played a wide range of songs and everything was a dancing crowd pleaser.
