We found Marlon & the Shakes at a friends wedding and knew right away that we wanted them to be our wedding band! They were both affordable as an 8 piece band (but you have many options) and amazing having the wedding guests on the dance floor the entire night! Marlon coordinated everything with us and made it very easy with a template he already built. We let them choose the songs with a few do not play lists. They even let us customize the night including a song they learned for us by our request, singing happy birthday to my maid of honor, and letting my father in law sing a song with the band. It was all so memorable! I would recommend them to anyone, especially if having your wedding in the greater Chicago area! They have a Spotify page and play at a lot of restaurants too if you want to check them out on Facebook to hear them ahead of time!

Marlon and his crew were absolutely amazing on our wedding day! We got to experience Marlon and his magic at my cousin's wedding about a year before my and my wife's wedding, and after that we knew we needed to book him too because he was so great! Marlon also performed an acoustic session during our cocktail hour which was an excellent way to start off our wedding reception. We received so many compliments about Marlon and his crew and the rocking dance floor at our wedding. We cannot recommend Marlon enough!
