Someone at our wedding came up to me and said "I didn't know a wedding band could actually be good…read more This band defies the wedding band stereotype, like what you see in The Wedding Singer." I think that says it all. Our guests absolutely raved about Phase 5. They are true professionals and so incredibly talented. Their versatility is amazing and they have a huge list of songs they can play. They played for our cocktail hour and then 3 hours straight (!!!) during the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire time, they read the crowd so well, and for the end of the night Josh did a fantastic job DJing based on the musical genres I requested. They also went above and beyond what we expected and saved us from a wedding disaster. We had a steel drummer booked to play during our ceremony. When he didn't show up until 5 minutes before our ceremony was starting, Phase 5 jumped right in and handled the music for when guests were arriving and during the ceremony. As for me? I was already a huge fan, having seen them perform around Tampa for years. For that reason, I chose my wedding date based on when Phase 5 was available and I booked them within a week of getting engaged. They traveled all the way to the Keys for our wedding, too. If you want a band at your wedding, this is who you need to hire. Be sure to act fast because they are in high demand -- they were doing 4 weddings the weekend of our wedding!

I think the ultimate compliment to them came when our reception was crashed by people wanting to see what kind of amazing party was going on! :) Even better, my husband and father-in-law are both finicky musicians themselves, and they wholeheartedly approved of Phase 5. Josh was so friendly and easy to contact for setting up all the details. Highly, highly recommended!!

This is an amazing Tampa- based band. You have to check out their original music on Spotify but…read moresuffice to say was super psyched they were playing an acoustic set in their "hometown" of Seminole Heights. Their style is a blend of rock and roll, alt country with a touch of pop. It's a 5 person band and every member is a great musician but their combined musical talent really makes the band. They mix their original songs with some covers- but their covers are off beat and they make them their originals. They are upbeat and fun and I can't say enough about them- check them out on Spotify, Facebook, Twitter and ReverbNation. GREAT original music and catchy tunes- become a Flanatic!
