UNBELIEVEABLE Experience, and so much fun!

Everyone absolutely LOVED this band - they kept our crowd dancing, cheering, and on their feet all night with their high energy and amazingly talented renditions of all of our favourite songs. Aside from being super easy to work with (they brought all their own equipment!) and being one of the most reliable vendors I have ever worked with, they are also such a good price for the level of professionalism, talent, and entertainment you get. People were RAVING about the band, it totally made our night so special and unique. Hot tip: do yourself a favour and request their version of Aerosmith's "Dream On" - you will be blown away.

Great musicians, vast repertoire

We have worked with Sly Fox on a number of occasions, from private parties, to university receptions, to scaled down birthday celebrations--always great music and always adaptable to the genre and other requirements of the particular event. Strongly recommend!

From the first song to the last we were on the dance floor.

There is nothing as good as a live band at a wedding. Sly Fox did not disappoint. So much energy and charisma. Great musicians and fabulous voices. Very accommodating. Played all the best songs and took pre wedding requests. They were really really wonderful. So happy we hired them.

Fantastic for corporate events!

We hired them for our company holiday party in Montreal & they were incredible! Will & his crew tailored their set lists and band size to accommodate our needs, and were even flexible with their attire to go with our theme! They exceeded our expectations, you won't regret booking them!

An Unforgettable Live Music Experience

Where to begin? Our Nov 2019 wedding was a dream. We tore up the dance floor all night thanks to Will and his band, Sly Fox. I’ll be honest, I’ve always enjoyed a live band, but never ever thought I’d book one for my wedding. That is, until we had the opportunity to see Will perform live at his album release party in downtown Toronto. I was practically starstruck by the talent I saw on stage – instrumentals, vocals, lighting – it was unforgettable. In a venue packed with people who were on their feet all night long, who seemed to know all the words to his songs, I knew Will and Sly Fox were going to be the perfect fit for my wedding.

Will is an incredible artist and vocalist (serious pipes on this guy), but paramount to that, he’s a wonderful person. Will was immediately responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. How does Sly Fox set themselves apart from the rest you ask? Simple. He pays close attention to his clients wants and needs. He goes beyond the call of duty by meeting with them to get to know them, their wedding, and their musical taste. He uses his years of industry experience to provide bespoke entertainment for your special event, and he brings a magnetic energy you’ll only have the pleasure of witnessing if you book him for your wedding. Let me put it this way… there were 2 weddings at our venue that night, and there were several guests from the other wedding coming in to hear Sly Fox play!

Believe me when I say you will not regret your decision to entrust Will and Sly Fox with the focal point of your wedding – the music. I give Will full license to provide my contact information to any couple considering him so I can provide a further review of how unforgettable our experience with this band was.

Thank You, Sly Fox for one of the best nights of our lives. To this day, we continue to hear from our guests what a treat it was to have you perform at our wedding. You executed beautifully and we are eternally grateful.

You couldn't have a better band or people

There's a lot that goes on during a wedding day to make it memorable, but there's one thing that puts the cherry on top and that is a incredible live band that gets everyone dancing the night away.

From pre planning (set list) to making sure our wedding was talked about for years to come, SlyFox came exactly as advertised.

If you're a fan of live music, dancing, and making transitioning your memorable day into an unforgettable night alongside the people you love the most - going with SlyFox is a no brainer.

I'll absolutely be using them again as some personal capacity for any event I have.

Can't say enough great things about these guys!

Top drawer band - great singer - great service

We hired Sly Fox on a strong recommendation from a professional within the wedding industry. I was somewhat sceptical at first, but only because I run a wedding band myself - back in the UK (married a Canadian) - and thought I would be able to find the best myself. But I realised quickly that in terms of quality and price point these guys were probably the best option. And on the day itself, they surpassed my expectations delivering a performance of huge passion, energy and quality. They were super responsive about the songs that we asked for (you can imagine I was quite selective!) and very organised with responses etc. Will is a hugely charismatic singer as well as having a great voice and our guests responded in the way that you hope they do on your day. A beeline to the dancefloor. 100% recommended

Fabulous band and very professional

I hired the band for my son's wedding. From 1st contact on they were professional and great to deal with. The quality of music blew us away. Even now my son's friends ask him for the band info as they plan events. They appealed to all 3 generations who attended. We had the full band and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend.
