Hire this band immediately

Do yourself a favor and hire Current Affair for your wedding. They hands down made our wedding- they kept our guests dancing all night long. We had friends and family coming up to us all night telling us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. On top of that, we asked them to play some pretty hard songs for our first dances and they NAILED it. They have a huge repertoire and the talent is insane. John who handles band logistics and MC is so nice and responds to emails immediately. Hire them- you’ll be so glad you did. They have our highest recommendation and we’re forever grateful.

Best Wedding Band!!

I cannot thank Current Affair enough! They played at my cousin’s wedding a year ago and I knew I had to book them for mine. Communication with John was effortless via email and phone calls. We had one guitarist play for cocktail hour. He not only is an exceptional guitarist but his vocals will blow you away at the reception. I told John I just wanted people dancing all night. I had no doubt they would deliver but they exceeded my expectations. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Each member of the band is uniquely talented, this allows them to cover all genres. They know how to keep the crowd engaged and on the dance floor. They do not stop playing the entire night. During dinner one singer did Bohemian Rhapsody. He walked around to different tables, everyone sang along and loved it. They played all of our requests and even learned Irish songs for us. My favorite memory was when the band was practicing our first dance song when my husband and I viewed the reception room. It felt so special because it was just the two of us enjoying a private moment after getting married. I received so many complements about the band and cannot recommend them enough.

Book this band!

Our planning process was very long. John was essentially ‘stuck’ with me for almost 3 very up and down years! We started our journey before any talk of COVID and milestone events being postponed and/or cancelled. And ended our planning process after 3 postponed dates, a new baby and being already married! And I am happy John was along for the ride the whole way through. He handled every change I threw his way with grace, patience and acceptance.

John not only made the planning and booking process unbelievably easy he made sure to SHOW UP at our wedding! I was not prepared for the talent he and the other artists were bringing to our wedding. I and the rest of our guests were floored! Current Affairs absolutely makes you feel like royalty when they perform for YOU and your guests at your wedding. The amount of talent that pours out of these individuals feels like they should be performing for celebrities.

I really can go on and on with how much I LOVED this band! Our wedding was almost 5 months ago and I still get compliments with our band! I told my dad that some friends are asking for recommendations on vendors and he said ‘there should be no question, if they were at your wedding, Current Affairs should be booked.’

So, if you’re not going to take it from me, take it from my dad! Book Current Affairs!

Also… hi John!
