Being a musician and playing in bands since 8th grade, I was put in charge of finding a band for my High School class's 50th Reunion. After searching for several weeks, I decided on Top Tier. Their demo music on their website was tight and talent was outstanding. Communication with JD was very cordial, professional, and made me feel like we were long time friends!
When our event night came, the band couldn't have been friendlier and the music couldn't have been better! Our class of 1967 wanted mostly "Oldies" music, of course and they did not disappoint! The mix of music was great and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! They even had me up to sing "Duke of Earl"! Great time!
My concerns about choosing the right band were alleviated early, as all my classmates raved about how good the band was before they even took a break!
Would definitely have them back again! Best Reunion we've ever had! Top Tier...The Best!
Response from Top Tier:
Mark, Thank you SO very much for your kindness and the wonderful compliments!! It means the world to us! We had an absolute blast playing for the reunion and and truly appreciate how gracious everyone was to us!! We sure hope to see you again for a future event! All the best to you and the class of '67!! -- JD
TOP TIER was so good my dad busted out a handstand in the middle of the dance floor - no joke! JD made this entire process so easy from the get go. They sent us a form to fill out a few weeks before the wedding to get the information they needed and everything was taken care of from there. Our dance floor was packed All. Night. Long. And then some. We had only scheduled them for the standard 4 hours, but the party didn't stop just because the Bride & Groom left - they apparently kept going just because they could tell that everyone was having a blast! Everyone loved TOP TIER! They came out into the crowd and interacted with everyone, which was a huge hit! They played a great mix of old and new songs so even my grandparents were out shakin' a leg! I cannot recommend them highly enough. We looked at several different bands that were closer to our wedding venue and none of them could beat the service, price, and professionalism of TOP TIER! Book them - now - you will not regret it!
Top Tier was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved the music and we will definitely hire them again for future events. JD and the band members were great to work with, so genuine and professional. Exceeded everyone's expectations and I just cannot say enough good things about them. A huge thanks to JD and the Top Tier group for traveling all the way to Tompkinsville, KY, everyone loved you!
We absolutely LOVED having TOP TIER play at our wedding. Having seen their online promo videos, as with many bands, I was unsure, but then had the chance to hear them in person at another event and knew that we had to have them for our wedding!! They handled everything regarding setup with our venue so that I had nothing to worry about and played and played all night. They read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed from the first song to the last. I would absolutely hire TOP TIER again in a heartbeat! Excellent service and performance!
Top tier perform at our annual company picnic and did an outstanding job. We will definitely have them back fir future events.
Top Tier is an entertainment juggernaut!!! From the multiple genres of songs to choose from to their passionate, heartfelt delivery. I commented to my new wife afterwards that I have never before attended a wedding celebration where literally everyone danced from the beginning to the end. We had guests tell us that they have never had so much fun at a wedding before. JD was a pleasure to work with...great with correspondence, accommodating, punctual and true to his word. We couldn't be happier with our decision to select Top Tier for our wedding. Hands down the highlight of a truly unforgettable day!
Top Tier completely blew us away at our wedding reception. We knew we were getting an amazing band for our wedding, but we had no idea that they would so absolutely fabulous. When planning our wedding, the most important component to us was our band. We were well aware that a band can make or break your reception. Top tier actually brought our reception to the next level. Not only do they have amazing talent that can basically sing any song you could ever imagine, but they are engaging and have a way of making your reception the most memorable occasion for everyone involved. My husband and I were hoping for a fun-loving memorable night consisting of an amazing time with friends and family. Top Tier provided us a top notch night that is not only the most incredible memory for us, but our friends and family cannot stop talking about it.
