Our band was voted by "Cincy A-list" as one of the top 2 bands in Cincinnati and Several of our Weddings have been profiled in " Cincinnati Magazine!"We love what we do and it shows!! For years we've been serving up our unique blend of current and vintage tunes ranging from Adele to Pharrell, Stevie Nicks to Stevie Wonder, with a dab of MoTown, Etta James, and Sinatra on the side!! We are a tight 6-piece band that features outstanding vocals and music, creating a fun, exciting atmosphere with our menu of very "dance-able" tunes from the 60's to current Top 40 songs!
We can make your Reception an event to remember!
We were fortunate enough to have Dana, Sam, and the Saffire Express Band perform at our granddaughter's adoption party yesterday. It cannot be said enough how amazing they are. I received texts all evening and throughout today from our guests who agreed. Thank you all so much for making our family's day perfect. Can't wait to see you again at future concerts.

Saffire Express Band did an amazing job hosting my wedding. They went above and beyond what was expected. They played all the requested songs and more. They got the crowd going and provided fun souvenirs and wonderful memories for all at the wedding attendees, especially the bride and groom. Thank you so much for such a fun and special day!
Response from Saffire Express Band:
Thanks for the great review Rachel! You and your husband were so sweet and your family ( especially Mom and Dad!) were a joy to work with!! You made it very easy for us !
Sam and Dana
The Saffire Express Band played for our parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone had a blast! They played music from every decade. They gave out fun props to keep people entertained throughout the evening and they are great musicians and singers. I would absolutely hire them for another event!
Response from Saffire Express Band:
Thank you Kelly! We thoroughly enjoyed playing for your party- what a great family!!!
Sam and Dana

Sam & Dana
We were fortunate to have Saffire Express Band play the cocktail hour and reception part of our wedding. Not only were they extremely professional through the planning process, they also were genuinely kind, wonderful people. They worked with us to create a fabulous playlist, even learning a song for our first dance. Throughout the night, we (and our guests) danced and commented on how AMAZING they sounded and how much energy they brought to our group! They were one of our favorite parts of the wedding by far. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Response from Saffire Express Band:
Thank you so much!
You and Ben were a joy to work with! We loved meeting your family and friends and being a part of your Celebration- you all made it easy to have fun!
Best wishes to you a your families- you are truly a special couple!

The Saffire Express Band
We had so much fun with Saffire Express playing at Ashley and Luke's wedding several years ago that we knew we would want to book them again when the right occasion (think party time) came along. Sam and Dana and all were again over the top with their music and interaction with our crowd. They do so many little things to engage their audience with favors, tossouts, guitars for the little ones to play along and also audience participation in singing along.
If you are watning live entertainment .......... look no further than Saffire Express.
And if your guest lists has any openings please call us as we would love to hear them again and again!!
Saffire Express is a great band playing music across multiple decades & genres very well. Saffire Express has performed at our festival for many, many years. I think the best thing I can say is that as soon as we finish our event we book them again for the following year.
I absolutely love Saffire Express and for so many reasons. First of all, they're good, really good. And then They have the ability to get literally everyone on their feet dancing, which to me is the best part! Their play list is second to none, and they're always engaging with the audience. Look no further my friends, you found the perfect band right here! I've hired them for my wedding, I've seen them at events, and I have since hired them for a private birthday party. They are simply the best!
