Bands for hire in Chicago

What a night! Patrick Lentz and the entire band rocked the night – the best part was that they never stopped between songs.

I cannot say enough great things about the Patrick Lentz Band. If you want a band that is easy to work with and knows how to keep the crowd dancing all night, look no further!

Words cannot express how amazing this band was for our wedding. Our dance floor was completely packed the entire night and the energy of our guests was out of control.

I had the pleasure of working several events that the PLB played for, so when I got engaged to be married into a family of musicians, there was no question which band to pick. They transformed the reception into a rocking concert for all ages. They played music from every era, so everyone felt included. When the forecast looked foreboding the day before our wedding we decided to move the ceremony to the reception venue. I called their manager Jeff in a panic and they agreed to play an extra hour at an extremely fair rate and even set up their equipment for us to use for our vows- absolute life savers! I have loved Elvis’ “I cant help falling in love with you” since I was a little girl. I was a little hesitant for Patrick to sing it instead of Elvis, but his rendition was equally if not more lovely. I can’t say enough what incredibly talented musicians they are- high energy and engaging. I feel so lucky and grateful to have had them preform for all our closest friends and family.

Patrick and his band have played at our nonprofit fundraiser called The Pink Party the last two years and have been amazing. They have made the party. Their music makes people want to dance!!! I highly recommend them!!! Truly great!

The Patrick Lentz Band literally made my wedding the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to. They have a way of amping up a crowd and getting people on the dance floor that normally wouldn’t be there because of their incredible talent and broad depth of music they cover. So glad they were part of our day!

Here is the summary: Patrick Lentz and the band was awesome and I could not recommend them more! Here is the extended review: My wife did most of the wedding planning but the band was something that I was really passionate about. We got married in St. Louis and I was not satisfied with the bands in St. Louis so I expanded my search to nearby cities and found The Patrick Lentz Band. My wife and I fell in love with their videos and how the whole video is a medley. Since they were in Kansas City and I was getting married in St. Louis (but live in Chicago), I could not see them live. I asked my cousins to go see the band and they came back with good reviews but were hesitant to tell me to go for them (they did not want that kind of liability). My cousins assured me that the band was just like their video and the video was not some overly-rehearsed-only-happens-once type of show. We ended up booking a 7-piece band (with Sax & Trumpet). While my wife was worried about a lot before the wedding, I was just hoping that my ‘gamble’ with the band paid off. I am not exactly sure what to say about the party except for the fact that it was amazing. The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night. Our wedding was just over a week ago, and we are still getting text messages/calls/facebook messages about the band. We (our guests and us) could not believe how much energy they had and how truly talented they were. I think the best measure of the band by the amount of people on the dance floor and The Patrick Lentz Band scores a 10/10. I am really excited to get the video back from the videographer to watch the party again. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Patrick for my email and I’d be happy to speak with you!

When my fiance told me he was desperate for a band for our wedding, I was apprehensive at first since I’d been to weddings with terrible bands and it was basically a huge buzzkill. However, Patrick put me immediately at ease after we initially spoke with him and we were SO excited to have his band perform at our wedding. We worked out a great itinerary with his manager a couple weeks before the big day and were pleasantly surprised that when our timeline moved up the day-of due to a shorter ceremony than planned, the band just rolled with it! We’ve received nothing but compliments from everyone at our wedding and I honestly have never seen a more packed dance floor. Patrick & team, thank you SO very much for traveling to Little Rock for us. We’re telling everyone about you guys and will recommend you to anyone looking to have an epic party.

The Patrick Lentz Band was the perfect addition to our wedding day. They keep people on the dance floor all night with a great mix of songs for everyone.

I want to take a minute to first sincerely thank the band. Our wedding night was such a blur that I never took the time to really thank them for providing the atmosphere and music that made the night a true party and celebration. So Patrick, and the other amazing musicians on stage, sincerest thanks. Short review: These guys are talented, professional, easy to work with, and literally the life of the party. The talent cannot be done justice in a written review.

As a long time musician myself, I can easily say the entire band was beyond phenomenal. Their equipment is top notch, and I am very picky about great sound quality. They well exceeded my expectations in regards to the sound quality. Great mix of songs for all ages, and they tailored the songs to the crowd on the dance floor. My only regret from the entire night was that we didn’t book them longer. It’s hard not to dance when the band is good and the songs appeal to all ages. In terms of song selection, I asked them to do what they think works. They had everyone, ages 18 to 80, dancing like I’ve never seen at a wedding before. They do modern and classic hits, but by injecting their own style and energy they take things to a whole new level. Like I mentioned before, my only regret was not booking them longer. Most other weddings I’ve been to, people are tired and the energy becomes flat around 10 pm.

At our wedding, the energy and excitement increased with every song throughout the night, all fueled by good music and some friendly alcohol. We booked them for 4 hours, and I can honestly say that at least another hour would have been well worth the money. I would book them again in a heartbeat. We have friends who booked them for a wedding next year, and I’m extremely excited to see them again and pseudo re-live our wedding night. We’re still getting compliments on the band with people asking for their name and contact information. If you want an amazing wedding, skip the DJ and book these guys without regret!

PLB played our wedding in Minnesota at the Aria this past summer and killed it! Our guests had the best time and it was a non-stop dance party. Great to work with and super professional! Can’t recommend them enough.

Our wedding reception would not have been complete without the Patrick Lentz Band! Now, weeks later after our wedding, we are still hearing people rave about how much they enjoyed the PLB! We wanted guests to get out on the dance floor and have a good time at our wedding, and thanks to the PLB, that’s exactly what happened! They played a good variety of classic songs, 90’s hits, and new music too. Our only request was no country music (no offense to any, it’s just not our style), and they honored that request. We paid an additional fee and they brought their own stage and set it up (which in my opinion, was worth it). They are an incredibly talented group of musicians and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a band for their upcoming wedding!

The Patrick Lentz Band kept our wedding guests on the dance floor all night long! Case in point, 4 of our guests split their pants dancing! We had guests from all over the country and we continue to hear from all of them that the band totally rocked. They even agreed to played 20 minutes longer because the guests just couldn’t get enough. Patrick was extremely gracious and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a wedding band, look no further.

Thank you, thank you to Patrick and his band for playing at our daughter Maggie’s wedding! We truly cannot thank Patrick and the band enough for their commitment and efforts making the trip for our event. They traveled from Kansas City to St. Louis, MO on a very snowy, icy, chilly December weekend for our December 17 Christmas-time wedding! I am sure this was not at all exciting and thrilling for them to be on the road for the many extra hours and hours in the snow, then rushing to set-up in a totally new venue in which they had never played before, all the very weekend before Christmas, no less! We are so appreciative of their efforts and dedication and kindness to still make the trip, and their help in making the reception such fun and so amazing. I actually think we would have died without them if they had not made it, with all the other many unexpected happenings throughout our wedding planning, and the wedding weekend. Everyone loved, loved the band, the dance floor was packed all night. I do not believe the band even ever took a break. They were amazing. We absolutely loved working with Patrick throughout the planning as well, he was soooo very nice and personable and such fun. Jeff also! So very helpful and professional. Love them all. Thank you Patrick Lentz Band, xoxo!
