We were fortunate enough to have The Band Etc. as our wedding entertainment and they kept the dance floor packed all night! Large variety of song options, very flexible to work with, and Darren was the perfect MC for the evening. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

If you are looking for a band, look no further than the band etc!!! We made the best decision in hiring them for our Indianapolis wedding this past September. Both Larry and Darren went above and beyond and made our wedding day a night to remember. They were so easy to work with and answered all my questions. Our venue was split level and they were so accommodating and our guests were never without their talent.

We hired them to play at our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. They helped us customize our ceremony music and helped curated the most perfect playlist. They helped transform our ceremony into the most beautiful and romantic space. They even learned new songs as we requested so more modern "hits" for our ceremony music. Our guests are still telling us it was the most beautiful music they have heard at a wedding ceremony.

Next they entertained all our guests at cocktail hour and mc'd dinner. They were so helpful at keeping the event on track and helped move all our guest out of their seats and on to the dance floor. Once people were on the dance floor they never left!

Even months after our wedding, our guests have said they were the best band they have seen at a wedding. If we could give more than 5 stars, we definitely would! We highly recommend the band etc. for any event!

Couldn’t of asked for a better band for my Wedding day. That is now their third wedding they’ve done in my family, and they have done a phenomenal job each and every time. They were truly the only part of my wedding that I was not stressed out about. Great communication, and they made the process very easy. But the most important part is that they literally killed it. Great job,
Would highly recommend! Thanks again

Thanks John. With your crowd we could do no wrong. It was a blast for us as well. Best to all of you. Now get your remaining single siblings engaged so we can do it again. 🙂

My husband and I are so grateful for this band and all of the fun that they brought to our wedding. They sounded absolutely amazing and you can really tell that they have been playing together for a long time. They were completely open to playing the kind of music that we were hoping for (disco, classic rock, and a little bit of today sprinkled in there) and the setlist they came up with could not have been more perfect. Their energy kept people on the dance floor the entire night. We would choose them again and again! We highly recommend them for any event.

The Band Etc performed recently for my daughter's wedding at our home. They were absolutely outstanding in every way! Their personalities really connected with our guests and the music was awesome. I can't wait to bring them back for our next event! Thank you for making it a wonderful event.

Hear what our clients say

“The band etc… was amazing. They kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night! They played a great mix of songs that related to all age groups and sounded incredible. We couldn’t have been happier booking them.”
– Lauren

“They were extremely professional, excellent musicians, and created a party atmosphere that unfortunately had to end at the stroke of midnight because the wedding venue closed. We could have listened and danced for another two hours, probably. I would recommend this band to anyone who appreciates live musicians who are excellent at not only playing, but creating a great party atmosphere. 5 out of 5.”

“etc… played during the Heartland Film Festival 25th Anniversary Celebration. This was by far one of the best bands I have worked with for a special event. Larry was always accessible for pre-event logistics and his team was easy to work with in general. The music was perfect for our event, and the selection of music was spot-on! The crowd loved this band and actually danced throughout the entire evening.”
