Best Wedding Experience Out There!

Truly the best wedding band out there! We've been to multiple weddings where they've performed as well as had them play for our wedding. They elevate the entire reception. From the first dance, to the cake cutting, to the bouquet toss, to the end of the night, their performance keeps guests entertained and on the dance floor.

My wife and I began meeting with Bonnie in November of 2021 for our wedding in July 2022. She is a true genius at her craft. Her ability to capture the vision of your event and assign the talent, lighting, and supporting themes are second to none. She provided great insight on how to structure our reception so that we could maximize the dancing and allow our guests to mingle while also creating time for all of the toasts, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc. The flow was perfect. Bonnie also provided great feedback for our song choices and was able to tailor the setlist to our music preferences despite my wife preferring country and myself preferring rock and the classic wedding songs.

If you're still on the fence of whether to pick a DJ or band, I'll leave you with this: With a good DJ, your guests that were going to be on the dance floor anyways will notice. With a good band, all of your guests will notice. With Bonnie Foster Productions, all of your guests will notice and rave about them to you and all of their friends.

Best band ever!!

Bonnie and the band blew us away! This band is so talented and kept our guests on their feet dancing the whole night! They were incredible at engaging the guests and keeping the energy up. Bonnie was super helpful with all my questions and needs prior to the wedding. 10/10 recommend this band! We had so many guests tell us how amazing they were and that they were the best band they’d ever heard!

Thinking of booking BFP? Be like Nike and Just Do It

If I could summarize Bonnie Foster Productions in a single sentence it would be, “yes” – hard stop. “Should I hire BFP for my wedding?” YES. “Can they play the music I want?” YES. “Is her band really that much better than a DJ or some of the other bands I’ve seen?” YES. “Are the singers and musicians really the best of the best?” YES. And most important, “are they worth it?” YES. They’re worth every penny.

My wife and I hired Bonnie Foster Productions for our wedding reception because we’d heard from friends, family, wedding planners, vendors, and really just about everyone we talked to, that they were the best, hands down. But, if I’m being honest, when you’re in the middle of wedding planning, quickly realizing that your budget is evaporating faster than a puddle in the middle of a Texas summer, you don’t always think as clearly as you should. But luckily, looking back at our wedding with the fresh eyes of a 2-week-old marriage, I can say that listening to literally every single person we talked to and hiring Bonnie Foster Productions may have been the single best decision we made in the entire process. Are they a wedding band? Yes. But to simply call them a good wedding band is about as inadequate as calling Michael Jordan “an average basketball player” or Vincent Van Gogh an “OK painter.” They are the best of the best. The true, crème de la crème of wedding bands.

From the moment we walked through the doors into our reception, Bonnie Foster Productions turned what was an already amazing day (I mean, it was our wedding, of course the night would be memorable) into the absolute best night of our lives! I kid you not when I tell you, the most common comment we received throughout our reception was not “wow, congratulations, you just got married!”, but rather “Oh. My. God. This band is amazing!” And trust me, I couldn’t have agreed more. From the singers who you would have promised were the original recording artists of each song they performed, to the instrumentalists who blew the roof off playing each bar of Elvis to Sinatra to Beyoncé, to absolute perfection, Bonnie Foster curated the perfect group of musical artists to bring our wildest wedding dreams to life. I can’t even say that we were the easiest couple to build a setlist for either. As a groom who wanted the music of a 40’s big band, with a bride whose greatest dream was to dance to Taylor Swift all night long, Bonnie Foster and her amazing group of artists, curated the perfect setlist and knocked each and every song out of the park, keeping all of the guest at our wedding on the dance floor from the minute they walked in until the very last song. (We even had couples get up in the middle of dinner to get back on the dance floor because BFP’s dinner music, which included a beautiful half English, half Italian rendition of “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran, was too, wait for it, *perfect*!)

So, while I could easily write a full 75-page, graduate level thesis of how phenomenal Bonnie Foster Productions is and why you, the reader, should hire them for whatever event you may be planning, I will simply leave it at this: If you’re still even questioning yourself about whether you should contact and book Bonnie Foster Productions, your answer is right here – do it! Because trust me, from one avid review reader to another, you won’t regret it.
