    Great band, so much fun

    We received so many complements on how fun our wedding was because of the band. I was nervous to hire a band instead of a DJ because I had personally never been to a wedding with a band. But the risk was so worth it. Everyone we talk to that was at the wedding mentions how great our band was. People even asked me the next day for the band name. It was also a great thing for people who don't want to dance, because they can still enjoy the music. Communication was great throughout my planning process, I asked many random questions here and there and received answers very fast.

    2 thumbs up!!

    The Shag played at my wedding and they were great! They have a huge song list and play it all well! They are great entertainers and they are super friendly and polite. My guest all loved them! They really helped make the night special!!

    Shag's reply:

    Shag is the best!

    Hiring Shag was probably one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! They aren't your typical wedding band in the best possible way - if you like 70's rock and soul, Shag is for you! They even learned the song that my dad and I chose for our father/daughter dance, which was such a fun surprise for my dad! We had planned our own playlist to play for the last 30 minutes of the evening, but we just had Shag keep going because we were having so much fun, they rolled with it and kept the music going til the end of the night! They were also super helpful with making announcements/emcee-ing the evening. They are just all around great guys too!

    Shag's reply:

    Carrie... Thanks so much... this goes a long way for us. We had a ball playing your wedding, hope to see you guys in the future!

    Dave, Shag

    Amazing wedding band!

    Shag had everyone on the dance floor all night long! Our guests are still telling us how great the music was and asking for the name of the band. Their music appeals to all ages.
    We were able to create our own playlist and they rocked it!! Great guys to work with! Definitely recommend.

    great experience!

    Shag was very flexible with last minute changes, sounded great, and even let my band play a few songs with their setup! All around great experience.

    Highly Recommend

    Shag made our day extremely fun! We are definitely not DJ people and we had so much fun dancing the night away. Thanks so much to Shag 5 Stars easily.

    Awesome music and awesome value!

    We had Shag play our wedding in Elkhart Lake, WI and were not disappointed. The band played 2 sets with a short break in the middle. Our guests, who were Phish and Grateful Dead fans, had a blast dancing to their music and we got lots of compliments about them. They were also very flexible when we asked them to provide a PA for our ceremony nearby. Couldn't have asked for more from these guys!

    Amazing band

    Shag made our wedding a blast! Everyone was on the dance floor and I still have people telling me how amazing they were and how it was the best wedding they have been to. I know part of that was from having Shag play!!!

    Shag's reply:

    Same here Chelsea, you had an amazing group of family and friends, we enjoyed playing for your Wedding very much.

    Shag is really doin’ it right!

    Shag was an excellent choice from the moment we booked them till their last song at our wedding. We got so many comments on how fun and rockin the music was. They knew just what to play to get everyone dancing. If you’re wedding guests love old rock songs, soul and a little bit of blue grass, they’ll have a great time. From James Brown to the Beatles we often forgot it was a cover band playing and not the real thing! Dave was also very responsive via email before the event and was a flexible MC for the speeches, etc. everything went smoothly, even considering the venue’s small band space. Thanks Shag!!

    100% Yes, book them.

    Dave and the band are an incredibly talented group. Not only do they play their songs note for note, they really know how to work the room and put on a good show. The dance floor was packed the entire night of our wedding, and we owe it to Shag for putting on such a solid performance. Music ranged from the 1960s-90s. Guests kept coming up to me asking who the band was and where I found them! I'll also mention that their professionalism is top notch as well. Communication was easy and responsive. They had a couple stage/spot lights that helped with first dances, microphones for speeches, and just made everything such a breeze for the evening. Shag is doin' it right!!! Love these guys.

    Exceeded expectations

    Shag did not disappoint. Although I've only ever seen them at shows in bars or other gigs, and not at a wedding, I was pleasantly surprised how they adapted to the crowd. It was a different show than what I was used to, and it was likely a good thing! Meaning, they knew what would get a wide variety of ages on the dance floor. We got dozens of compliments from guests that said they LOVED the band. We loved them too. They not only provided entertainment, but were able to take on some of the emceeing needed for the big day. I was rest assured that they had it, and they sure did. I would hire them in a heart beat. Don't question it, just DO IT.

    Shag brings the party to the next level!

    Shag elevated our wedding to the next level! From the beginning planning phase it was evident that Shag knew exactly what they were doing. There was a detailed information sheet, clear expectations and plenty of fun had. When it came to the wedding day Shag was prompt and accommodating. We had them setup in a barn, which had its challenges, but they took care of everything and didn’t require any hand holding. They let us choose a few key songs, but otherwise we had them use their expertise to carry the party, which they dominated! I am biased but I have never been to a wedding with as much dance floor participation as Shag was able to maintain throughout. I always recommend friend and family to hire Shag for weddings, especially if I am going to be attending! If you want an effortless and amazing wedding, look no further.

    Long Live Shag

    Where to begin with Shag ... from the moment I first reached out to Dave (drums; band rep) about playing our wedding, the entire experience could not have been more of a pleasure. We had requests, probably too many requests - to play a certain song, to let my mom sing a song, etc. - and "no problem" was the answer we received at every turn. Dave and the guys could not have been kinder and more accommodating from the moment we first spoke to the moment the wedding ended. Oh yeah, the wedding itself: have you seen these guys play? They play with energy, with precision, with abandon ... our dance floor was HOPPIN' the entire night because of Shag. Throughout the night people would come up to us and ask us where these guys came from. Our wedding was pure magic in LARGE part thanks to Shag. I cannot recommend hiring them for your wedding enough. Long Live Shag.

    You will not go wrong with Shag!

    All of my guests raved about how amazing my wedding band was and how much their feet hurt the next day from dancing so much! A good old school party band!

    Shag is a great, fun loving band. They play everything from 60s-90s rock and a little country. The drummer did announced for us and they let us use their sound system for our speaches etc, since the reception location forgot to let anyone know where we could find the microphone. They were so much fun for dancing and all ages can enjoy their selections. Thank you guys!
