They made my wedding even more elegant and absolutely perfect. You won't regret hiring them! Unfortunately Nathan was booked the night of our wedding so another DJ Justin was included in our band package. I regret this decision greatly and cringe at my wedding video. He played all the songs the band played as the DJ- so multiple times throughout the night we heard "The cup of life" and "cheshmaye Nazet." Completely unnecessary. Both songs we never asked for or were within the vibe of what we wanted. Also, why are you playing 25 year old songs? If I could, I would give Justin 1 star. We even had a 30 minute long conversation with what songs we wanted played and he didn't play 1 of them. Definitely upsetting. They for sure need to improve on their communication with the client and take proper notes of what clients want played.

From start to finish, they kept the energy high, engaged the crowd, and played a great mix of music that appealed to all ages, dual languages and all genres.

We received so many compliments from attendees about the live entertainment, and they played a huge role in making our event such a success. If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and crowd-pleasing live band for your next event, we highly recommend The Band. We look forward to working with them again!

They absolutely killed it, remained completely professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process, and brought so much joy to our big day. I cannot recommend them enough!

We also appreciate her and the DJ team for editing our song playlist for our Song Bingo game, which made it fun for our guests. We didn't even need to tell them to edit the songs, and they did anyway! Vy added some surprises on the day of the reception, which I LOVED, since it made the event unpredictable (in the most fun, stress-free) ways. She had a calm demeanor about her, which made everyone feel at ease. She even picked up on things like my guests clinking their glasses/plates to signal my husband and I to kiss (which is a Chinese thing we both were unaware of), and she encouraged it throughout the event. Definitely hire Vy and her team for your Viet/Chinese wedding!

On our wedding day, Huyen Vy communicated with the restaurant for us so that we didn't have a single worry about scheduling. She and DJ Jason were dynamic and kept energy levels high and emceed like a family member to make everyone comfortable! I highly recommend her services.

During that time Maylynda, the owner, stayed in touch and reassured me. When I finally met her at a site visit, she was warm, professional and assured me that the music will make the event fun and spectacular. She did not exaggerate. Two weeks before the event, I was informed that the female vocalist I had chosen was pregnant and considering COVID, was not comfortable attending a large event. Maylynda offered me 2 choices (including herself) and then offered me an additional vocalist at no charge. I listened to some links and chose Maylynda. The band and vocalists were awesome performing with beautiful, strong voices, energy and style. I highly recommend Maylynda and the other two vocalists: Malcolm and Aaron. Aaron was the surprise as he was added at the last minute. Gorgeous voice! JMV also provided a huge song list from which to make selections and they were open to learn songs not on the list. Many of the songs we chose were performed at least as good as the original recordings. JMV Entertainment was easy to work with and provided an exceptional musical experience. There was dancing all evening and so many people commented on how great the band was. In addition to the quality of their performances, band members and vocalist looked sharp and professional. I also appreciated the value. At this level, they were not the cheapest band I considered but neither did they approach many that were significantly more expensive. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend this group for any significant event
