We paid for a 6 piece band, but one of our singers also played keys, so they added in a saxophone player for free! Was such a surprise and we loved it. Herve our main singer also spoke and sang some French and was able to do our first dance song to a favorite French song of ours. I refused to leave until the band did!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

The moment they performed as I walked down the aisle was incredibly special and something I’ll treasure forever. I know there was a lot of coordination behind the scenes, and we couldn’t have done it without the team’s dedication to making our day perfect. The engineers were fantastic, ensuring everything was set for my sisters and I to perform our special number—it went off without a hitch! The ceremony music was phenomenal. They took the time to learn specially orchestrated pieces just for us, making each moment feel truly unique and personal. For the party, they flawlessly performed so many of the songs we had requested, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. I’m so grateful to the musicians for their incredible talent and effort—it truly made the day unforgettable. Seriously, 10/10.

We saw the Jon Bates Band perform at our friends' wedding in Vermont a number of years ago. My now-husband and I knew (before we were even engaged!) that we wanted these guys to play our wedding, should we get to that point together. Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing. I can honestly say that it could not have gone better, nor could we have enjoyed it more. I highly recommend this group of talented musicians.
