Dream come true
9.2.23 The Michael Benson Band is absolutely the best band ever! To start his communication is very easy and professional. He also was willing to accommodate some special requests that required extra time and attention. Everything leading up to the night was easy but the most important best part is their music….they do an absolutely fantastic job! We have been at many events and parties where they have played and we have known Michael for many years but to have them at our event was absolutely a dream come true. The music at dinner is so beautiful – like a giant dinner party and they crank it up for dancing and people of all ages just loved it – everything! Several people involved in managing the orchestrated events of the evening mentioned that the transitions from all of the special things that are done at a wedding like speeches, wedding dances and special announcements were very smooth!! The band knows to when to fade out etc. something that we didn’t even realize until a couple of people mentioned it. Absolutely the best band ever!!!

From the FOB at Shenorck Shore Club: “Everything about Michael and his band is professional and absolutely first-rate. They are all top-of-the-game musicians who can play in every genre. Michael is a fantastic vocalist, and a pitch-perfect emcee to boot. From my guests I’ve heard nothing but praise for him and his band, who have entertained at my two daughters’ weddings. Michael also makes the logistical details easy. He does a lot of the work for you. There are many, many good reasons that reviews of the band are filled with superlatives. If I had another daughter who was getting married, my first call would be to Michael, to save the date.”

Top class, top notch
This band made the first big party for all of our guests since pre-COVID… the party of a lifetime! We put their flexibility to the test with COVID shifts over two years, and they rose to the occasion every time with grace. Then they nailed it! This band is better than a dream come true, they literally played the crowd as if they knew every song that could bring out the happy in each and every person: dancing, smiling, and loving on each other!
