    Worlds greatest wedding band

    Tom and his entire crew are somehow better than the wedding bands you see in movies. They not only crushed the music, but every single detail from the ceremony violinist to the MC portion of the evening was flawlessly executed. The Dance floor was packed the second the first drum beat hit and never stopped until the final song!!!

    Tom Sartori Band's reply:

    Thank you Chad! We really enjoyed performing for you guys at the Trump Resort in Jupiter last night! Gorgeous wedding! I wish you guys the very best

    Excellent wedding band

    Live music is a great vibe for any wedding and Tom Sartori and his band didn’t disappoint! They provided live music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Tom was extremely accommodating with our discriminating music choices. He has beautiful options music for ceremony and cocktail hour and he chose fun pieces to keep people on the dance floor all night long. I highly recommend Tom Sartori and his band for your next event.

    Absolutely fabulous choice - ceremony, cocktail hr, reception

    Tom was not available so he provided his new project, RED DAWN, featuring Danielle Vidot. We couldn't have been happier! Tom was easy to work with and very responsive to our needs in the months, weeks and days leading up to the wedding. Excellent communication.

    We hired the group for all our music - ceremony, cocktail and reception. Ceremony and cocktail music were both great and then it was time for the entire band! Danielle is beautiful, gracious and funny. She led a talented group of musicians and had our guests dancing the entire night! There was always a group on the dance floor and the song selection fit the mood every time. I just can't say enough. Our guests all commented on the band as being one of the highlights of an amazing wedding. I thank Danielle and RED DAWN for making it the party we hoped for! Tom, thank you for providing us with an incredibly talented and professional group.

    Book this band!

    Booking with Tom was singlehandedly the best decision we could have made for our wedding!! We went back and forth between a DJ or a band, and looking back now I can't imagine our wedding would have been half as fun if we booked with a DJ. Tom and his band absolutely ROCKED and people STILL compliment them when talking about our wedding. They kept the dance floor packed all night!! They were so accommodating with all of our requests, and made everything happen so seamlessly on the day of. One of my favorite parts was that with our first dance (we wanted the original played) they had the fiddle player playing along with it - this made it so much more special! Thanks so much Tom, y'all seriously ROCKED! I wish we could get married again just to party with y'all again!!! :)

    Book tom - you will not regret it

    10000 STARS!!

    Music was my husband John & my #1 priority to create our dream wedding. I found Tom about 15 months before our big day and he was so responsive and helpful throughout the process of planning our wedding. The band & Tom will not disappoint! Our guests (who have all had DJ'S at there weddings) left saying, DAMN we should have had there band for ours! They are beyond talented and I wish I could listen to them play all day!

    Thank you Tom for making our day PERFECT!
    Best, John & Ashley Lillis

    WOW!! I knew Tom was amazing because I saw him perform 10 years ago. I had also heard from several people that he was the BEST. I'm not sure if I can truly exemplify how the word "BEST" describes how extremely talented this guy is.
    It might even be an understatement. I would love to invent a word that combines, BEST, Phenomenal, Sensational, and Freakin Top of the Charts. Tom far exceeded our expectations!! Our entire wedding was on the dance floor the whole night. We not only received rave feedback from how it was the most amazing performance that any of my friends and family had ever seen at a wedding before, but we truly felt like we were at our own front row concert. Tom lit up the room with his style. He adapted to the vibe and the people by playing music that fit the crowd and was versatile in his music strengths to continue to capture the room. What's even more fun about Tom is that he engages the entire dance floor with his upbeat personality. I contribute the entire evening of laughter, crazy dance moves, (seeing even our shy friends perform moves I've never seen before), and the most memorable of songs played live to Tom. If I was budgeting for anything to make your evening as incredible as mine, I'd make hiring his band the number 1 on my list. I can't thank him enough for the impact he made on my wedding night. And I will never forget this experience with him as my band!!!

    Shortly after my husband and I were engaged , we started looking for a band to play at our Key West Wedding. My husband found the Tom Sartori band online and we hired them based on their great reviews and the videos we saw online . We had the opportunity to go see the band perform twice in ft Lauderdale prior to the wedding and get to know them . Each time we see them, the get better and better . They were amazing the day of the wedding . It turned the wedding reception into a full dance party and everyone was blown away with how incredible they were . I will 100% be hiring The Tom Sartori band for future events!

    I can't possibly say enough about how amazing, talented and out of this world GREAT Tom Sartori Band is!!! They MADE the wedding!! From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, they BLEW US AWAY and our guests were raving about them weeks after the wedding!!! There isn't another band around that comes close to these guys. They're CRAZY talented and seriously the best I've ever seen. I wish I could hire them for something every month, I wish I could see them play every weekend. There wasn't a song they didn't know or couldn't perform and they were fun, memorable and out of this world. There is no need to look any further than Tom Sartori Band. I'm telling you, you'll never find a better band than them!

    Tom Sartori and his band were literally the best! My wife put me in charge of the music for the big day, and I searched long and hard for a band. Finally I found Tom and was super impressed by his music. We chose the 3 piece band (because that's all our budge permitted) and also had Tom perform at the ceremony and cocktail hour...I do have to admit, I was nervous because I wasn't sure 3 pieces would be able to create the atmosphere we were looking for. Also, Tom's website doesn't have a single video of him with the 3 piece option, so I was a bit stressed about it....The truth is, if I spent even 1 second worrying about it, it was 1 second to long. Let me be very clear. TOM. WAS. THE. BEST! He kept everyone dancing all night, and he even played every song from a long list of songs that we liked (Dance, top 40, a waltz for our grandparents, you name it...) He even took some of the songs and mashed them up. Everyone still tells us that it was the best live music (let alone wedding music) that they have heard. If you are on the fence about it, just book Tom, it will be amazing no doubt.

    In terms of the the logistical stuff: Tom was responsive, friendly, etc etc etc etc. I have NO complaints about anything. On the day of the wedding, he set up 3 areas (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) and moved throughout them seamlessly. Even though I didn't get to partake in the cocktail hour, all our guests said it was amazing and that the violinist even walked around the room and played the whole time. AWESOME.

    Moral of the story..Tom was worth every single penny. Not only did he make our wedding an amazingly special day/party. We truly feel like we have a new friend. Cheers, Tom. Thanks again!

    Tom and his band were excellent! They played a great show and all the guests commented on how wonderful they were. We are big music critics and go to a lot of live concerts so the music at our wedding was important to us. These guys are not your typical cheesy wedding band. They're professional and knowledgable when it comes to weddings and very talented!

    I'm not even sure how to put into words how amazing the Tom Sartori Band were at my wedding. Besides being nice, easygoing guys, they are some of the most talented musicians I've ever seen perform. I had a beach wedding/reception and gave Tom a general idea of the kind of music I wanted for the night. Rather than bug me with the playlist, Tom took care it himself, knowing I had so many other things to worry about... And it was PERFECT! There were songs for everyone - oldies, country, pop, you name it. I booked the 4 piece band and everything they played sounded so amazing. The entire night I had my guests coming up to me telling me it was the best band they'd ever heard at a wedding, and I agree completely! Half way through the song that my husband and mother-in-law were dancing to, there was a torrential downpour. Rather than stop playing and run for cover to protect their instruments, the band continued to play through the whole song, not wanting to ruin my husband and mother-in-law's moment; that's just how amazing these guys are (not many bands would do that!). To top it off, they moved into our backup venue and played longer than we originally booked them for. Had they not done this, I would have had my guests dancing to songs playing off my phone the whole night. They literally saved the day. They took requests, and knew every single song we asked for. In my opinion, bands either make or break a wedding reception. The Tom Sartori Band were more than I could have hoped for. If you're even thinking about booking them, do it immediately and consider it the best decision you've made in a long time. If I ever need a band for an event again, I will be calling these guys up.

    From his beautiful rendition of “All of Me” and “Chasing Cars” during the ceremony through the very last note of the reception, Tom Sartori was the highlight of our wedding. Also, most impressive was the addition of an electric violinist. Early on we mentioned a local band we loved that featured an electric violinist. Tom surprised us at our wedding by including a phenomenal fiddler who had just finished a tour with Cirque de Soleil. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour and throughout the reception Tom and his band performed to perfection.
    He performed many of the songs we’d requested and wowed our guests time and again with his renditions of some of our favorite rock and alternative music, turning them into an energetic, danceable frenzy all night long. Included in the mix were some reggae, old school, country and pop favorites.
    The dance floor was constantly packed and those that didn’t dance were treated to a concert-like performance. All of our guests were complimenting us throughout the night at our wonderful choice in hiring Tom Sartori Band.
    Tom Sartori is a talented singer, songwriter, musician and performer. If you have the opportunity for this band to perform at your wedding or event, you and your guests will be treated to some the best live entertainment we’ve ever experienced.

    Both my husband and I had seen Tom play at bars in Orlando and Gainesville during our college years, so we loved the idea of having him for our wedding. He was absolutely, without a doubt, the best money spent on our wedding! Tom played our ceremony and cocktail hour as a solo acoustic act, then had a full band for the reception. He learned all of the songs we wanted for the ceremony and first dances, then played an awesome mix of Top 40's, Pop, Dance, '80's, country, etc for the reception. The dance floor was packed all night and guests begged him to play one more song at the conclusion of the reception. He was so fun and sweet throughout the night and even called my dad up on stage to sing with him. It was a truly amazing and memorable experience to have had him for our wedding. I would encourage any bride interested in live music for your wedding to contact Tom first!!

    We booked Tom as a solo artist for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception this November 2014 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The entire experience could not have been better. Tom learned 3 new songs specifically for the ceremony (songs by; Peter Gabriel, Colbie Caillat and Elvis) and with just a few days notice, learned a song for the Bride/Father dance (Barry Manilow) and a special request from the Best Man (Queen). All sounded as if he had been playing them for years. Tom performed everything from country to 70's/80's rock to current hits and had everyone dancing all night long. He was professional throughout the entire experience and even had 2 setups so one could already be ready at the reception while he was playing at the ceremony. All ages (from our parents in their 60's to 80's to our college age children commented on how great/perfect the music was throughout the day. We couldn't have been happier with Tome. He is the real deal, a talented, professional musician and would recommend Tom to anyone looking for the perfect solo artist/band. We would give Tom more than 5 stars if we could. Book him and you won't be disappointed. Nicole and Brad

    Great sound, great guys, 100% top notch professional entertainment. Couldn't ask for anything better. They not only put on a show for a wedding, they put on a concert for our guests who didn't get up and dance but still wanted to enjoy the entertainment. It made the night.

    Tom and his band absolutely rocked.
    The instrumental accompaniment for the ceremony was lovely and the acoustic background music during cocktail hour on the beach was great. They really brought the energy once the reception started, keeping the dance floor packed for the rest of the night! Their rendition of 'Africa' by Toto was a crowd favorite, we highly recommend it!
    Couldn't be happier with our choice!

    I booked Tom to perform solo for cocktail hour, DJ for dinner, and with his band for our wedding reception in Naples in May 2015. Let me start by saying I'm a tough music critic. I regularly attend concerts and live music events as well as I'm an amateur musician myself. I booked Tom over the multitude of other wedding bands because the others seemed too cheesy. Tom promised over and over that he'd gauge the crowd's interest and keep everyone dancing. Let me tell you, he 100% delivered. Starting with the cocktail hour, it was spot on. Tom is both a talented guitarist and keys player, but his true talent is his voice. He improvises with well-known songs to add to their appeal. For the reception he absolutely killed it. I had numerous people tell me it was the most fun reception they've ever been to and I have Tom to thank. People were tossing around words like "phenomenal" and "amazing". Due to some technical issues during the DJ portion of the dinner (occasional static due to faulty wires), Tom playing his guts out for longer than the contracted time and more than made up for it. If I had to book a band for another occasion, I wouldn't think about looking elsewhere and we hope to get him up here in NYC to perform some time.

    Tom Sartori Band is exceptional!

    Let me start by saying, we changed our first dance song last minute from Van Morrison to Tom Sartori live because he was that good! My wife and I were so blown away and impressed listening to Tom warm up that we cancelled our first dance song recording with Van Morrison, and instead ask Tom to play something live for us. Hearing Tom in person is indescribable. His voice, musical and performance skills are off the charts!

    Our experience: my wife and I chose Tom Sartori after searching and interviewing many bands for our wedding. Just prior to covid we were planning for a large wedding in the FL Keys and wanted Tom and his band to perform. We signed a contract but then covid happened. I found Tom incredibly professional and understanding of the changing circumstances. He was flexible in coming up an agreement that made all parties happy. We ended up having a very small backyard wedding with just our parents, siblings and daughters. Tom ended up bringing just one other musician (violinist) and wow did they crush it together! I was initially concerned if a band was overkill for such a small wedding but Toms band was absolutely perfect! As my family arrived, the violinist played all sorts of classical and traditional music as well as new and modern genres (very cool on a Violin). Then during the dinner, Tom started playing. My wife and I were so impressed that we last minute cancelled the Van Morrison recording for our dance and said, “Tom, just play something and we’ll dance”. He played “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran...and it was truly “perfect.” I think Tom’s version of the song is way better than Ed’s -honest to God. Book Tom for your next party...you can’t go wrong. This guy should be more famous than he already is!

    Having a destination wedding (as was our case) can be a bit more stressful than a local one for several reasons. One simple fact remains that you end up working with people that you probably have never met (but communicate over time using email, phone etc.) or may not meet until ‘the big day.’ We did not have the luxury to get ‘local’ recommendations and simply relied upon the exceptional people that we worked with for guidance.

    Tom Sartori is one such example of an exceptionally talented artist. Here is what you get when you work with Tom: first and foremost expertise; he is a musician FULL TIME. Not like some of these other so-called ‘wedding bands’ where the guitar player is a line cook at the local Olive Garden during the week and plays at weddings for some ‘extra cash’. Tom is a professional, courteous. He was always accessible and able to customize his band and set-list based upon our budget; you can hire just him (which would be more than enough for most events) or ask him to add bass and drums or a full-on 12 piece; scalability is key and a point of differentiation. Most importantly, Tom was humble. He genuinely feels blessed that he can share his talent with others and will consult with you to deliver lasting memories for all.

    As far as I am concerned, there are only 2 people to consider for your wedding: Tom Sartori and everyone else. Sign him up now before someone else does.
