Just wanted to let you know how FABULOUS Onyx was on Saturday at my wedding at the Hay Adams.
They managed to keep EVERY guest on the dance floor for 2 hours straight. They nailed the music selections and respected the timeline. My clients and their guests had the time of their lives. When potential clients tell me they want a fun dance party this is what I envision. I received so many compliments with several guests telling me it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. Just wanted to let you know. Please share this with the band.

I worked with Onyx at a wedding last month and they absolutely crushed it for 2+ hours, keeping the couple and the guests dancing the entire time. And not only that, but working with them on the ceremony music, the cocktail hour playlist, and the PA needs throughout the night was seamless.

Incredible wedding band!
They got all our guests up off their feet and dancing the whole night. They also provided us with ceremony sound which was really nice not having to worry about leading up to the wedding.
Guests told us Onyx was the best wedding band they have ever seen and we agree! They know how to read the room, and they aren’t playing the stereotypical band repertoire. They are such talented musicians. Extremely professional and reliable. So easy to work with. Book them!!

Book ONYX immediately
If you want to have the most incredible time at your wedding or event and have every single guest walk away talking about your band, don’t think twice and book Onyx. Individually, they are all so insanely talented. Together they create a power band that keep all the guests on the dance floor all night long. They will work with you to play the songs that you want and do not want. They sounds amazing and just you have no choice but to have the best time.

There are countless decisions when it comes to planning a wedding, but choosing Onyx for our wedding band was by far one of the best decisions we made. From the easy and clear communication with the band manager to the insanely talented members of the band, we are so happy and grateful to have had Onyx perform on our special day. My family is not typically the “dancing” kind of family… but with Onyx playing at our wedding, you couldn’t keep people off the dance floor. Everyone had the time of their lives and Onyx made that possible. Throughout the reception and after our wedding, we received countless compliments from our friends and family with how much everyone loved Onyx and my husband and I couldn’t agree more.

For anyone looking for a band to get the party started and keep you dancing all night long- HIRE ONYX. I am not kidding when I say that they made my entire reception. All night long my guests were asking for the name of the band and where I found them. Not only are they amazing at what they do, they bring the energy while making your night run smoothly! David was amazing with communication throughout the planning process, and was such a delight to work with. I also worked with Purnell who was SO delightful and so helpful with booking Onyx. I would recommend Onyx to any single person looking for a band for their wedding or any other event.

Onyx is the best band!
Onyx surpassed every expectation that we had! Our Wedding band was probably the highest priority on our list during wedding planning and we could not be any happier with choosing Onyx!
We saw Onyx at a showcase and saw all of the positive reviews online and were really excited to have them play our wedding – we were blown away by the evening! We had a bit of non-traditional wedding with no sit down dinner, and the band was perfect at reading the room and playing the perfect music for what was happening. We had an epic dance party for HOURS after food was finished and we received compliments all night and in the days and weeks to follow! We heard “this is the best wedding band we’ve ever seen” on countless occasions. They were truly amazing. It is hard to overstate how easy David and Onyx made the entire process. They were extremely communicative, assuaged all of our concerns, are detail oriented, and really just lovely people. Would recommend Onyx millions of times over for any of your needs! They are the best!!

We had Onyx play at our wedding on 12.17.22 and they completely exceeded our expectations! The band immediately had the crowd going! They were interactive with us and our guests! They put on our cowboy hats and sunglasses we handed out, pulled us on stage, came out into the crowd and made us feel like we were at the coolest concert! The instrumentalists and the singers are beyond talented and fun. Choosing Onyx as our band was our best decision. They were communicative with us throughout the planning process, met with us multiple times to ensure they understood what we wanted and learned multiple songs for us. If you want to have the most fun wedding you must chose them!

Amazing experience!
We wanted an amazing live band for our Nov. 10 wedding, and Onyx MORE than delivered!!!! They kept the dance floor full all night long, and they learned 3 new songs for our special dances. Everyone from Washington Talent and Onyx were incredible to work with, and they gave us a very fair price for what was included. I plan to recommend Onyx to anyone planning a wedding. 5 stars across the board.
