We hired the Wildside band for our house party and they are an amazing band. They sounded awesome all night and really made all the difference in setting good vibes for our guests.

The Wildside Band
We anticipated a "wedding band", we were blown away at how good they were. The lead singer sang his heart out. They even sang a special request song for me. The auctioneer went longer than anticipated so the band went on stage late but were nice enough to make up for it by staying late. They had the crowd on their feet the whole time. Honestly, can't say a bad thing. My only advice is to get new videos for Gig Salad they are not doing you guys justice. By the way, the band was great to coordinate the event with too!
They totally worked with me on creating the perfect set list for a 40th birthday party! Eli was amazing and friendly and all the band members were professional and fun! They felt like family and they made our event so fun! Everyone had a blast!
The Wildside Band did an amazing job at our company Holiday party! They had such great energy and were able to bring everyone to the dancefloor. The music choice was also great we did top 40 and couldn't be more satisfied with the way they performed. Also the booking process was excellent Flo was great at answering all questions and facilitating the payment process. Thanks guys you rock!
The Wildside is an amazing band, this was the second year in a row we had them play at our company business party and they ROCKED!!! The dance floor was packed until the end, can't wait to use them again.
The Wildside Band was the life of the party! Their were professional and extremely talented. All my guests loved them! I will definitely hire them again.
Thanks to Flo and the Wildside Band team. Our clients could not stop talking about what a great evening they had dancing to the Wildside Band and onboard at the USS Midway. The team was extremely flexible and allowed me to direct the flow according to the audience and our specific needs. Thank you!
We hired the “The Wildside Band” for our wedding.
Originally, my now husband, hired members of “The Wildside Band” (Bizz and Pauline) to sing at his marriage proposal event and they did a great job.
So, when it came to planning our big day, we wanted to plan the perfect party for our guests and knew Wildside would be the perfect band and fit right in.
We meet with Flo and requested a couple of songs that were not on their current play list. The band was willing to learn and incorporate them in the lineup. We also wanted to add 3 horn players to make the party stand out.
The day of the wedding came and they were there to set up early and everything went great. Bizz, Pauline, and Flo all moved into the crowd and kept everyone involved with the music and dancing.
During breaks Brandon, the DJ, kept the crowd going with great music and group dancing. It was very nice to see the members of the band join in and having a great time as well.
Our family and friends are still talking about how much fun they had and how great the music was.
Our wedding was exactly what we wanted, perfect.
Mr. & Mrs. Fidel
I have had the opportunity to hire the band for a few events of mine and they have always been beyond belief and by guests are always quite entertained and on their feet all night long.
The band is fun and is great at getting the crowd excited.
This band can do anything!! We hired The Wildside Band for our Prince Tribute cruise and they exceeded our expectations and I hope they are available next year. Not only did they play a mix of old school funk and top 40, their Prince tribute was amazing. They had the crowd on their feet for the entire event. This event would not have been the same without their brilliant performance.
The Wildside Band played at our wedding and they were incredible! We couldn't have asked for better entertainment. They were very professional leading up to the event and they made things very simple and easy! At the wedding they were so engaging and they kept everyone dancing. They even learned and sang our song for our first dance. They helped make our day perfect! We opted for the additional horn players and we were so glad that we did! All of our guests were raving about the Wildside Band and we were so happy that they were apart of our special day!
I honestly cannot express how wonderful this band is. We booked Wildside for our wedding and I am so glad we did because they MADE our wedding reception. All of our guests LOVED them and could not keep from dancing. From our parents friends to ours, everyone loved the music. Not only is the music fantastic, the Band members are! They felt like family, like our wedding guests, not just vendors. They gave a perfect introduction, got everyone's names correct, played all our favorite songs and wait for it.... by the end of the night they even had my FATHER, the FOB, singing into the microphone!! They wore our wedding colors, black and gold. They did everything to make our wedding perfect. They seriously MADE the party. So much so that we ended up extended our wedding an hour later than planned! Still, over a month later we are getting comments from our parents friends and ours about the band at our wedding. I cannot recommend Wildside enough!! I cannot say enough good things about this band. Not only do I love their music, I love the band members as well. Truly, when you spend 13 months planning your wedding, or some bride's cases planning since they were 12 years old, and you spend all of that money, you want the day to be perfect. BECAUSE of Wildside, our special day was, in fact, perfect! I will never be able to express my appreciation for that.
This band was totally amazing!! Prior to the wedding, they were friendly and very accommodating with our music selections. During the wedding, the performance from the Wildside Band was full of energy and exuberance! My guests couldn't stop talking about how great the band was. I would definitely hire this band again one day. Thank you Flo and the Wildside Band for a fun and memorable experience!! :)
Response from The Wildside Band SD:
It was a great pleasure working with you through the months to prepare for your special day. You and your husband along with all the guests were just so fantastic. Glad we were able to do our best to make it a memorable experience for you both. Thank you so much for being so accomodating as well.
My husband and I wanted a low key and fun wedding. The Wildside band really delivered. They are high energy and professional. They performed a ton of hits which kept the dance floor hopping. Would highly recommend.
The Wildside Band rocked my 50th birthday party. I'm still getting compliments on their performance. They are personable as well as professional and they dress to impress. Was absolutely honored by their performance and would definitely hire them again!!!
Response from The Wildside Band SD:

Thank you again for inviting us to participate as we had a blast seeing all your smiles. We will continue to support fighting back against cancer.
We hired the Wildside band for our 35th class reunion. My initial contact was Flo. She was very easy to work with. I explained my expectations, she provided a quote and we agreed to work together. We had one song that was our anthem in High School and I asked if they could learn it for our party. Of course she agreed and the band was awesome in their rendition.
They played a variety of music which included music from back in the day as well as some contemporary songs. The focus being on Old School, R&B and current Top 40. All very danceable music that kept the crowd engaged on the dancefloor. The band was high energy and we received many compliments from classmates on how great Wildside was.
Their sound engineer, also did a great job as the sound quality was top notch.
Overall, the Wildside band was one of big reasons for the overall success of our reunion.
Response from The Wildside Band SD:
It was a great pleasure working with you David. We are so thrilled to have received so many compliments throughout the evening at your class reunion. We are very happy that you loved our bands high energy performance, song selections and sound engineer Tony. Thank you for your business and we are sure to see you soon in the future.
Everyone who attended my party commented on how good the band was. Wildside provided the perfect amount of energy and I could not be more happy with their performance. Wildside has my highest recommendation possible!
Response from The Wildside Band SD:
