    Absolutely Phenomenal

    The Jack Faulkner Orchestra was the best wedding band I've seen. In the lead up to our wedding, Jack met with us and talked about what we were looking for - what style, what songs, what kind of celebration we wanted to have - and was open to our opinions while also supplying his own take on things that he's seen work best over the years. We found this very helpful, and by the end of our conversations felt very sure we were going to get the atmosphere we were hoping for. Where we didn't have a preference, Jack's decisions were always the right ones.

    At the wedding reception, the band was amazing. Everything from their bridal party introduction music to the first dance songs they learned for us (with some customizations included!) to getting everybody out on the dance floor, we wouldn't have changed a thing. They knew every song, they had incredible energy, and were clearly professionals who have been doing this for a long time but haven't lost the excitement of putting on a great show. In the weeks after the wedding, we've gotten innumerable compliments about the band - every person we've talked to has mentioned how people were up dancing before the venue served the salads, and nobody sat down until the final song. I couldn't recommend this band highly enough - we were impressed at every step of the way and every member could get their own review on their musical talent.

    Jack Faulkner Orchestra: The BEST Decision we ever made

    We had the absolute pleasure of having the Jack Faulkner Orchestra perform at our wedding, and we cannot express enough how incredible they were throughout the entire process. From the moment we booked them to the last note played at the reception, Jack Faulkner Orchestra exceeded all expectations.

    First and foremost, the professionalism and enthusiasm they brought to the planning stages were remarkable. Jack and his team were not just musicians; they were partners in creating the perfect ambiance for our special day. They took the time to understand our musical preferences, worked with us to create a customized playlist, and were open to incorporating special requests that held sentimental value for us.

    The night of the wedding was an absolute dream. The moment the Jack Faulkner Orchestra started playing, the atmosphere transformed into one of pure magic. Their musical prowess was evident from the first note, and it set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The versatility of the band was astonishing, seamlessly transitioning between genres and eras, ensuring that every guest, regardless of age or taste, found themselves on the dance floor.

    And what a dance floor it was! From the very beginning to the final encore, the energy was electric, and the dance floor was never empty. The Jack Faulkner Orchestra had an innate ability to gauge the crowd and adjust their performance to keep the party alive. Their infectious energy and dynamic stage presence created an atmosphere of joy and celebration that resonated with every guest.

    The musicianship displayed by each member of the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was truly exceptional. The talent and passion for their craft were evident in every note played. The seamless transitions between songs and the flawless execution of both classic hits and contemporary tunes showcased the depth of their musical expertise.

    In addition to their musical brilliance, the band members were a joy to work with. Their friendly and accommodating nature made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. It felt like they were not just performers but friends who genuinely wanted to contribute to the success of our wedding day.

    If you're looking for a wedding band that goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, look no further than the Jack Faulkner Orchestra. Their professionalism, musical prowess, and ability to create an atmosphere of pure joy are unparalleled. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them, and we are forever grateful for the memories they helped create.

    Jack Faulkner Orchestra - best band ever!

    We booked Jack only based on word of mouth recommendations and watching some content from previous events, so naturally we weren’t 100% sure what to expect. They absolutely delivered on our wedding day! The dance floor was never empty and everyone had a blast! We got so many compliments on our band. They played so many classics, but had such a cool sound, and it never felt like we were listening to a cheesy wedding band. Jack was also so great to work with leading up to the big day - he took time to meet with us in person to discuss our do/don’t play lists, order of events, and made sure our timeline was on track. Can’t thank Jack and the band enough for making our wedding night such a blast!!

    Amazing!!!!!!

    Incredible! Jack was in touch with us every step of the way, was receptive to our song suggestions, provided invaluable advice, and the band rocked the house come wedding time. They were the highlight of our wedding and the dance floor was always packed. It was everything we could’ve asked for. We could not recommend them more highly - everyone was remarkably talented and put on a show.

    Nothing But High Praise for The Jack Faulkner Orchestra!

    The Jack Faulkner Orchestra sounded fantastic. Our guests were dancing from the first song of the evening until the last. So many of our guests told us that they were so impressed with the band. With twelve band members and several singers, the Jack Faulkner Orchestra made each song sound very different from the previous one. We knew from watching the YouTube videos that the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was a great choice. Hearing the band live blew us away and exceeded even our high expectations.

    We also appreciated the music before the ceremony, during the reception and dinner. The music was perfect for each specific wedding event. In addition, Jack Falkner did a great job as MC during dinner. Lastly, the quality of the sound system for the wedding ceremony and the speeches during dinner was excellent.

    We have nothing but wonderful wedding memories. The Jack Faulkner Orchestra was one of the key contributors to this fantastic wedding day. We are very happy and grateful. We want to thank all Jack Faulkner Orchestra members for their superb contributions to a great wedding.

    Amazing job at Daughter’s wedding

    We hired Jack Faulkner Orchestra to play at our daughter’s wedding last weekend, and the band hit it out of the park. Many of our guests went out of their way to tell us that the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was the best band they had ever heard. They played for over two hours straight, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. We don’t think you can hire a better band - horn section, singers, Jack’s solo set - all were amazing. We are so pleased and cannot recommend them highly enough. They really made our daughter’s wedding special.

    Best Decision Evers

    Overall experience: Fantastic

    If you are like us, we spent hours and hours listening to bands online. (we no longer can listen to Bruno Mars). Some bands had a great singer but the band was not cohesive. Some had a cohesive band but the singer was not hitting the notes. Some had a singer who was good but the others were not so great.

    We found Jack Faulkner after 4 hours of online searching. The video showed a band that was great, and singers who were spot on. We thought, why can't we find many many recent reviews? Why hasn't our venue heard of them? Well, we met with Jack, we took a risk and BOY DID THAT RISK PAY OFF. The band kept churning out one amazing performance after another. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. People came up to us during and after the wedding mentioning how AMAZING the band was. Jack delivered, as promised.

    If you are sorting through options for bands and you aren't sure, this is THE band. They made our wedding night spectacular.

    Jack and his crew provided such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. People are still talking about how great our wedding band was months later! Had everyone on their feet instantly! Easily the best vendor decision we could have made for our wedding. Worth every penny!!

    Hands down the best.

    Booking Jack Faulkner Orchestra was easily the best decision we could've made for our wedding. Music was one of the most important things to us so we really took our time and did a ton of research around the Philadelphia area to make sure we found the best. From the first call with Jack, he made every single planning component a breeze. During the stresses of planning a wedding during COVID, I found myself listening to the JFO showcase video to get me even more excited for our wedding.
    Come day of, all of the music and energy was perfect! The ceremony and cocktail hour music was exactly what we had hoped for. Now the reception... it was next level! We had our guests coming up to us the whole night raving about the band (and we still do weeks later). Jack Faulkner knows how to throw one heck of a party! We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Jack Faulkner Orchestra, do not wait to book them!

    Just the Best!

    Look no further and choose the Jack Faulkner Orchestra for your wedding day! We had one meeting with Jack and after that, left everything in his hands. He is an absolute professional and knows how to get a crowd on the dance floor. The song list was perfect and our guests had the best time. We are still hearing about how amazing our band was months later! Would absolutely recommend

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    When I went to a friend’s wedding who had the Jack Faulkner Orchestra as their band, I knew right then and there I had to have them when I got married. Fast forward two years and I was engaged and planning a wedding, and I knew the first thing (besides the venue) that I had to book.

    I got Jack’s contact info from my friend and reached out immediately. Luckily they were available on our big day. The entire process was super easy as Jack is very responsive and easy to work with. He walks you through each step and makes sure you are comfortable, and the contract was by far the simplest out of any vendor we used. He also meets up with you a month or so before the wedding to go over your first dance, father/daughter dance, and any special song requests or must haves.

    When the wedding finally came, they did not disappoint. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, all the way through the reception, Jack and his band killed it. They play a variety of songs from classics like Frank Sinatra all the way to modern wedding songs like Bruno Mars. We didn’t have to pick the set list because he is a complete professional. He knows what will get the party started and keep people on the dance floor all night.

    When I say people were dancing all night, I mean ALL night. I’ve never seen a wedding where people stayed on the dance floor from start to finish. People were so impressed and we got so many compliments on the band. We even had a guest that thought it was a track instead of a live performance, because the first few songs were so on point.

    Bottom line if you want to ensure you have the best wedding day possible, contact Jack Faulkner. If you want wedding insurance, and by that I mean there is zero chance it won’t be a blast, then contact Jack. I can’t say enough and can’t wait until one of my friends gets married so I have a chance to see Jack again. Thank you for the most amazing time!

    Best Wedding Band!

    BOOK them. If they are within your budget, you will be over the moon that you were lucky enough to have them play your wedding. They played at a sibling’s wedding, and while we listened to several other bands in NYC and Philly, in the end, we just had to get the Jack Faulkner Band. Jack even kindly worked with us on our budget so that we could book them. We heard non-stop compliments on the band throughout the night and afterwards. They had our dance floor jam packed all night long. Even friends and family I’d never seen get on a the dance floor were ready to dance and sing with this band. Jack was also a great MC and has so much experience in guiding the night smoothly (from meeting with us in NYC to discuss the evening, to answering all our questions, to taking the temperature of the room to know what to play and what time). Their repertoire is huge, and they even learned new music for our first dance. All around fabulous.

    Amazing Band!

    We honestly didn't know where to begin searching for wedding bands. When we stumbled upon the Jack Faulkner Orchestra, we knew almost immediately because they stood out from the rest. After speaking directly with Jack, we knew we had made the right decision! He made the entire process so easy and relaxed. He answered every single question we had and worked through our wedding timeline with ease.

    The night of the wedding was absolutely perfect! We got millions of compliments from the guests about how much fun they had and how amazing our band was. When Jack tells you that your guests feet will hurt from dancing all night – he means it!

    One last note – the Jack Faulkner Band does not stop playing the entire night. There were no awkward band interruptions which meant the entire evening flowed seamlessly for everyone. Our wedding night was amazing and a HUGE part of that is because of this great band!

    If you're considering Jack Faulkner and his amazing orchestra. Stop all the consideration and choose Jack! THIS is the band you want at your wedding.

    I guarantee you that all of your guests will be singing, dancing, and having a GREAT time with this band. Our wedding was about a month ago and people are STILL talking about what a great time our wedding reception is. Some people have even been looking up where they can see them perform next.

    We even worked with Jack to provide music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the full band for the reception. Honestly, Jack does NOT over promise. If he says the dance floor will be filled, he's 100% right.

    Thanks Jack and crew - you were all AMAZING. Definitely the highlight of the day!

    During one meeting with Jack prior to our wedding he promised that our guests feet would hurt the next day from dancing so much. After an amazing night where we got tons of compliments on the band, we can say for sure that Jack was true to his word. After watching videos for a few different bands, we knew when we saw the Jack Faulkner Orchestra that we wanted them - their energy and sound was just the best that we saw. Jack met with us multiple times before our wedding to get every little detail of names, special requests, and even a custom intro song that we wanted (which the band nailed by the way). We really can't say enough about how great the Jack Faulkner Orchestra was, and we'd highly recommend them.

    They played at our wedding on NYE in Philly. My wife and I had a lot of good feedback from our wedding, but the one thing everyone kept asking us was "who was that band?!" They were beyond great. My wife hired them and I didnt really know what to think, but they were beyond my expectations. They had everyone on the dance floor. Jack asked for some info from us but we told him that we trust him and to play whatever he thinks will get the party going, and he did. Cant thank them enough.

    Worth Every Penny

    I could not have asked for a better musical experience at our wedding. A band can certainly make or break the event, and The Jack Faulkner Orchestra did not disappoint. They had our entire wedding dancing from the start and no one left the dance floor all night. They were worth every penny. I can't recommend The Jack Faulkner Orchestra enough.

    The Jack Faulkner Orchestra helped make our wedding an event to remember. Jack himself promised that he would keep the dance floor packed all night, and he delivered! We've been to many weddings and have experienced many wedding bands, but few of them can hold a candle to the Jack Faulkner Orchestra.

    The music never stopped all night, literally. They kept the party rolling without taking a break. Song after song, our guests packed the dance floor and everyone walked away impressed. The music aficionados in attendance made a point to comment on how great the band sounded. Whether playing Motown classics, 80's favorites, or Top-40 hits, they are on point and they know how to design a set list that makes everyone happy.

    We worked with many vendors in planning our wedding and Jack's professionalism and expertise stood out. Throughout the process, he was flexible and quick to respond. When we had questions, Jack's expertise, insights, and opinions made the tough decisions easy.

    We had heard great things about the JFO but none prepared us for how incredibly fabulous they were for our wedding reception. I am sure that every person in the ballroom was dancing within the first 15-minutes of the reception - and some (like me) rarely sat down all night. It was so fun and we really cannot give enough thanks to Jack and his talented, energetic band members for their hard work, professionalism and incredible job extremely well done.
