Best wedding decision ever

I have absolutely no regrets about hiring Side One for our wedding! I have seen them before at other weddings I have been to and ever single time I am blown away by how amazing they sound and the energy they bring to a dance floor - our wedding was no exception! We hired the 6 piece band for our approximately 100 person wedding. They are professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful with answering questions. The quality of their sound and their performance is 10/10. Our wedding dance floor was so much fun and everything I dreamed of!

Thanks so much for this Liz! So honoured to have been such a big part of the day with our guitarist for ceremony music, the dance band, and our AV team handling audio in each of the different areas at SPP! Congrats again to you and Drew and let's start planning the anniversary party!

Wedding September 1st 2024

They were incredible at our wedding. They were on time and kind and were great at communicating with us before and during the wedding. Everyone that came to our wedding loved them and thought they were the best band they ever saw at weddings. Highly recommend them!

For an UNFORGETTABLE wedding, look no further!

We had SideOne play during our wedding reception on May 19, 2024 in Vancouver, BC. We opted for the 6-piece band, and we also had their sound technician provide music management during our ceremony and dinner.

Hands down, SideOne is THE way to have your guests still talking about your wedding months later! They absolutely KILLED IT during the dancing portion of our evening, and they are probably the biggest reason why many of our guests told us after that it was the best wedding they had ever attended! The bandleader Rob was super helpful and responsive in the lead up to the big day, coming up with a custom edit of our first dance song and even accommodating the Groom's surprise musical performance for the Bride just before dinner. We are SO happy with our decision to hire SideOne, and we CANNOT recommend them enough -- the memories alone are worth EVERY penny!

Book them!

We still can't believe how amazing this band was!! We booked them for our wedding and literally everyone was asking us - who they hell are these guys (and girl!) and where did you find them?! They rocked it way past our expectations and none of us have danced like that since I don't even know when. SO worth it! It was also so helpful and seamless to have them there for our ceremony, dinner, and reception - not really sure what we would have done otherwise. Hope to see them play again soon!

Awww thanks so much Katie! Congrats to you and Kris and thanks for one of my favourite First Dance songs we've ever done! I wish more clients would embrace the 70's Genesis jams!

Best wedding band bar none

Side One absolutely *made* our wedding!!! Not only did they keep our friends and family on the dance floor literally all night, but they also helped us with sound tech throughout our ceremony and a fun playlist throughout our happy hour, ensuring that everything music-related was professionally handled from beginning to end. They even paid attention to our sample Spotify playlists and played my husband's favourite song as a surprise encore at midnight! 12/10 recommend them—stop thinking about it and just go for it!

Aww thanks so much Haley! We were so stoked to pull out some favs that we haven't played in a while and the playlist gave us a great excuse! Congrats again to you and Nick!!

Best. Band. Ever.

We hired SideOne's 8-piece band for our wedding and it was the best decision ever. They rocked a dance party that everyone noticed. They are excellent musicians, incredible vocalists, and nice people. We gave them a weird inspiration list and they took it and made it amazing, there was nothing I would have changed about my experience with SideOne. They were worth every penny and I am looking for the next thing to hire them for already!

Outstanding - would recommend to anybody

My wife and I had SideOne for our wedding reception at Cornerstone Weddings in Canmore. They were truly one of the biggest highlights of the day! We found that SideOne was incredibly professional, easy to plan with, and kept guests on the dance floor the ENTIRE evening, playing crowd-pleasing hit after hit. We constantly had guests telling us how much they loved the Side One as a live band playing our reception and how much fun it was. I would highly recommend them as a hands-down top pick for a live band to play a wedding reception.

Best dance band ever!

All of our guests are raving about their performance and they were honestly worth every penny. If you are on the fence, GO WITH THEM. Words can't explain how great they were!!

Epic experience

Super professional, the vibe was perfect. They were flexible with us during unprecedented covid challenges. And most importantly our guests loved them, it was the most talked about part of our wedding!

Side One is an incredible band!

Wow. Side One was truly AMAZING at our wedding last month in Seattle. We couldn’t be more happy we choosing to work with them. I only wish I had a set list so I could continue to relive the experience they created for us!!

They brought the energy with great attitudes in not the easiest of days (it was a wet wet day and we were outside) and I have truly never seen a dance floor so packed non-stop for the duration of the wedding. We have had multiple people tell us it was the best band they have seen in a long time. They played an incredible mix of old and new, which made our crowd and us very happy.

Thank you so much, Side One!
