Guests consistently tell us "the band was a highlight of your wedding'

The Directors deliver. Period.

We wanted our wedding to be a dance party, so we over-indexed our budget on getting a great band. Since we don't live in Montreal, we did a lot of 'interviews' with various bands. We also spoke to several friends, wedding planners, and wedding photographers based in Montreal. In the end, it was clear The Directors were THE band in Montreal.

My husband and I were a bit nervous because we'd never seen them perform live. But they blew away EVERY expectation. From the moment they started, the energy in the room shifted. It's been a week since our wedding, and our guests consistently mention our band as one of the highlights of our wedding weekend.

As long as you have the crowd that will give energy back to the band, The Directors are a solid choice. They know how to engage with the crowd and their vocal range/song variety is impressive.

We would hire them again in a heartbeart :)

Amazing band!

The Directors are a class act and the best decision to have at our wedding. They really took the time to ensure the schedule of day would maximize the experience for all our guests. We are so grateful for their professionalism and their incredibly talented band members. Our guests were raving about the choice of music and how much they loved the band. They are talented, so much fun, and get everyone on the dance floor. If you are looking for a band for your event look no further than the Directors; you will be so happy you did!

Absolutely amazing

I can not imagine our wedding without the Directors!! The music was amazing from start to finish! Randi and Tony were so helpful and accommodating throughout the whole planning process and the entire band was incredible the day of our wedding. Our horah was a blast, the band kept it going and all our guests, even my 94 year old Bubby, got into it. The compliments about the band have not stopped since, and they had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. Sam and I had the most wonderful wedding day and the Directors' brought our party to the next level. Highly, highly recommend them!!
The Directors, thank you!!!

Incredible

The Director's are totally incredible! We hadn't seen them live before but after hearing the amazing reviews, watching their performances on YouTube and meeting with Randi and Tony, we knew they would be an absolute must-have at our wedding! Throughout the entire process leading up to our big day, The Director's were extremely responsive, collaborative and helpful. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, reception and dancing, The Director's were on point all night long! Beyond their incredible musical talents, the band's personalities really shined during their performance which drove a beautiful connection between them and our guests. Our wedding took place 3 months ago and our friends are still talking about The Directors! Highly recommend.

The absolute best!

Amazing experience! Hired this band a few weeks before our wedding to play at our ceremony and cocktail and we absolutely loved working with them. Randi and her team were professional, responsive, creative, attentive to detail, and helped us choose the perfect songs that reflected us. The violin/piano trio was beyond our expectations and made our ceremony so special! Would strongly recommend!

One word: amazing!

We hired the Directors for our wedding and it is hands down the best decision we ever made. They were simply amazing! We had close to 400 guests from all ages and cultures, and nearly every single person we spoke to after the wedding commented on how AMAZING our band was. Even if you think you are not a "band person", think again and go watch them perform, you will not be disappointed! Randi & Tony and their acolytes had so much energy and were able to keep the party going all night! Randi and Tony were also very easy going during the organization prior to the the big day, and were really eager to make us happy. My husband and I have been to countless weddings and can attest to the fact that the Directors are the band that you want, to make any special occasion unforgettable! Thank you again to the Directors for the best music and atmosphere we could ever have asked for on our wedding night!!!!

Love them!

From the first time we met the directors, we felt a connection with them and they understood exactly what we wanted. They said yes to all our requests. We had never seen them perform at a wedding but had received such great recommendations that we trusted they would do a great job and they completely exceeded our expectations on our wedding day. The dance floor wasn’t empty for one second, they are AMAZING. All our guests said it was the best party they’ve ever been to. Best band in Montreal!!!
