Fast Times

Fast Times was voted one of the top wedding bands on Bay Area A-List. We can do a Formal look or our typical Rock Star look or match your color scheme, which ever you prefer. We also do costume changes and perform songs from the 70s to Now, mostly 80s, or all 80s. We can learn specific songs if requested in advance. We can provide our sound system, lights and a sound technician along with the performers, and our travel expenses. We can play CDs or IPods from our collection or from yours to DJ on our breaks, during dinner, and cocktails. We can provide a toast mic and MC the event. Fast Times loves to perform at weddings, birthdays, corporate events, conventions, fundraisers, customer or staff appreciation events and other public and private events. Fast Times regularly performs all over Northern California and Northern Nevada and the band can travel just about anywhere in the world for your event.

Tell Me Something Good
“I’ve hired Fast Times for a number of events, from private events such as weddings to larger public fairs / festivals, and I have always found their team to be reliable, communicative and completely professional. The band is really fun, accommodating and a really fun high energy show, that our clients have all appreciated. Mike and his team are an excellent choice as a band for an event. Thanks Fast Times.” From Jay S. via Yelp review (five stars)
“You guys are incredible. Everyone LOVED your music and had a fantastic time grooving to the songs. We sincerely appreciate the energy and fun that you brought to our event. We hope to have you back out next year for some more fun!!!” - Marissa M. Event Planner
“Fun, Flexible and Fabulous! We hired Fast Times to play at an 80s-themed corporate event and they were a hit all around! Their communication was great, they arrived in plenty of time to be set up and ready for go time, and they were very flexible and adaptable to specific requests we had. The songs were great and they kept the crowd going all night. When they were all done, they even acquiesced to the group request for ‘one more song!’ and hit the finale out of the park. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend!” - Mindy N. Corporate Event Planner 5 Star Review
