BearFight

ingle time, at the end of each night, I left sweaty and with sore feet! They never play a bad song ! You just can’t stop dancing. I knew when I got engaged that I couldn’t imagine having the biggest party of my life without them there. People are coming up to me 3 weeks later saying how much fun they had at our wedding. I can’t recommend this group enough. From the band to the dj... cocktail hour to end of night (which we ended up extending) everything was perfect.

entire crew were professional, fun and were the highlight of our wedding! To quote one of our guests, “We didn’t even want to go pee we were having too much fun!!!!” Also, “My Fitbit clocked an entire 2 hours straight of dancing!” Thank you guys for crushing it! #teambearfight 🐻 👊

rific. I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. Thank you!

joys. I had seen Bear Fight before but my fiance had not - he thanks me now! Bear Fight was GREAT!

broke my leg dancing to BearFight, it still would have been worth it!" They got old relatives of mine on the dance floor who we've seriously never seen dance before! We had the time of our lives dancing and singing on stage with these guys. Aside from just an exceptional reception performance, Chris and the crew are just so easy to work with. We had BearFight play an acoustic duo for our ceremony on site. I had picked 3 somewhat obscure songs that they learned, no questions asked. It was so beautiful and special to have them perform live as I walked down the aisle. They also played at our cocktail hour as well. We've gotten SO many compliments about the music. As one friend put it "there are wedding bands -- and then there is BearFight. They were just on a whole different level!" They took care of everything too: DJ to emcee the reception, microphones, speakers, lighting. Not having to worry about any of this stuff was a huge load lifted off of us from a planning perspective. We can't thank you enough! Can we do it all again next week!?!?

ight to play our wedding. We had seen them many times at Lansdown Pub in Boston, and knew they would keep the dance floor packed. This group did NOT disappoint! With a variety of songs to please everyone, and bringing a DJ along to fill in the rest, we had the most incredible night. Even my mother, who is a HARSH critic, yelled to me across the dance floor "I LOVE THIS BAND!". BearFight, we can't thank you guys enough! You kept the party so alive, no one would leave for the first shuttle back to the hotel.

rom my five year old cousin who played with the drummer on stage, to the entire wedding party, to my grandparents and parents, aunts, uncles, cousins you name it) on the dance floor from the first song to the very last. One bridesmaid set it best - too many hits to even use the bathroom without getting serious FOMO. The best part - I did literally nothing to curate this epic party. When these guys say they know how to throw a party - trust them. I chose to let them control their set list for the reception and they nailed every single moment. Their musical talent is incredible, but their party throwing abilities are truly unmatched. So many of our guests have told us again and again that our wedding has been their all time favorite. I credit all of that to the massive party that became our dance floor when BearFight hit the stage. Chris & the rest of the band are so easy to work with - they even helped me pull of an epic father daughter surprise duet complete with sound check and sneaky mic pass. They were so magical that my wedding guests continue to stalk them at their local Boston gigs (MORE LANDSDOWNE PLEASE). Also - it really goes without saying but the fact that their pricing includes top notch DJ services (with a man who has a voice like Morgan Freeman) AND a band? Literally could not ask for anything better. They crushed every single aspect of our big day - ceremony through the last song. You truly will not find a better group of people to be the mastermind behind your wedding day vibes - oh and they give plenty of opportunities for eager guests and the couple to have their 15 seconds of fame. WE LOVE YOU BEARFIGHT. Fans for life. Thank you for everything - we cannot wait until our next party in which we have an excuse to hire you. XO Ana & Adam

ct quote from one of my wife's older aunts who was pleasantly surprised when the 'rock band that does weddings' that we hired got the dance party started at our wedding in Cape Cod this past August. My wife and I are both BIG music enthusiasts with a broad range of artists we like and so when we got engaged in April of 2017 we knew we wanted the focal point of our wedding to be the music and dancing. Here were our criteria: We definitely wanted a band, but we also wanted some original tracks to be played so the duality of having DJ would be helpful. My wife is a drummer and I play bass/guitar so we also wanted a band that would be open to the idea of us performing with them at the wedding. On top of that, we also wanted a band that might be open to learning more than 1 or 2 new songs for our wedding which is also a bit of a tall order. My wife and I had a phone call with Chris, the lead singer/manager, and he was one of the nicest, most accommodating people I've ever spoken to. He laid out exactly what BearFight could offer and it was way more than anything we heard or expected to hear from any other band. He told us they would provide a full band with DJ combo, could get a female vocalist added on per my wife's request, he encouraged us to perform with the band when we told him we also played instruments and told us BearFight could likely learn a few new songs at our request. When our wedding finally came around in August 2018 they ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT! They learned 7 new songs just for our wedding at our request and their DJ/MC was brilliant with the wedding party introductions and the timing of songs in between band sets. On top of all that, my wife and I performed with the band together and separately for 5 songs and even had some last minute requests from our friends asking if they could play guitar or bass for a certain song, which the guys in BearFight welcomed and offered their instruments without hesitation. Our wedding of 259 attendees had easily 220+ of the people on the dance floor during the reception. My 71-year-old father kept saying, "BEST. WEDDING. BAND. EVER!" after the wedding after being a bit skeptical about having a "rock band" as our wedding band, but BearFight really knows how to throw a party by reading their audience and their environment. They are extremely humble guys and will put you, your family, and your friends in the spotlight for your special day before themselves. They don't come off like a band that was hired to perform at a wedding, they carry a presence as "the most fun guests at a wedding that got everyone dancing...they just happened to also play instruments" as one of my groomsmen said. Ultimately, if you want a band that can do literally ANYTHING and does it all well for your special day that also happy to be just good people don't think, don't hesitate, don't wait. Hire BearFight and you're not just getting an unforgettable wedding, but you'll have acquired some unforgettable friends for life as well.

dow. I met the band on the phone in February and that same day, they confirmed they were ready to make the 5 hour trek to the Adirondacks, stay the weekend, and ultimately knock our wedding guests socks off with energy and talent. I hardly even worked with them in advance outside of recommended songs and descriptions of expectations. They just took the reigns and connected with other vendors and made the day spectacular. We are in our mid 30s and the majority of wedding guests were between 25-40. I had numerous people tell me it was the best band they had ever encountered and even Grandma wouldn't get off of the dance floor! They also handed me the mic for fun during the incredible final songs. Hire them. You won't regret it.

e guys at Landsdowne 8 years ago for the first time and clearly they left an impression because there was no doubt in my mind who we were booking when it came to our wedding. Chris & Alex were so easy to work with in advance and everything went perfectly day of. They were even gracious enough to let my 13yr old sister play saxophone with them. We wanted a hell of a dance party and we sure got it. These guys rocked 3 full sets - 4 hours total of music with the band and the DJ with a full dance floor the whole time. YOU ARE THE BEST Chris, Paul, Kevin & Rob. Can't wait for an excuse to hire you again.

most importantly playing so well everyone from every age group at my wedding was dancing and rocking out all night long; I couldn't recommend them enough. The DJ/Band combo is an awesome way to dance the night away and not too many bands would pull your violin playing cousin up on stage to perform a couple songs. They are the best of the best.

zing time. From the first guitar chord to the third encore (yes, the attendees demanded 3 encores), they commanded the room like no other event entertainers I have ever witnessed. Chris and the band engage perfectly with their audience and weave songs from a perfect set list into one, long, sing-a-long dance party. And what a dance party it was. I have gotten less exercise doing triathlons. I couldn't provide any better or stronger recommendation, unless of course, you want a reception that just isn't fun. If you do want to have an amazingly good time, this is the band and DJ for you. Don't make a mistake ... book BearFight the second you set your wedding date and then never worry again about whether your guests will have the time of their lives.

Chris and the rest of the guys are so great to work to with and really accommodating. I would highly recommend Bearfight to all future brides and grooms!

wedding. 100% recommend, thank you BearFight!

to me... things that could have easily slipped through the cracks, but they are far to thorough for that! Definitely a major contributing factor to what made our wedding night so special!! Makes us smile just thinking about it... We would hire them again in a heart beat. Thanks for everything Bear Fight!!! You guys are awesome!! Janna & Mac

't think any truer words have ever been spoken. We knew how great they were going in and trusted them to help make our wedding vision come true. They somehow exceeded every single expectation. Both in terms of us but more importantly every single review from our guests If you're looking for a kickass band that plays wedding, your search can end here.

the best yet. Guests have not stopped talking about how amazing they were. People have told me they want to book them for their weddings. This event is different than the weddings they're used to playing and they rolled with the punches and even incorporated a donation based song request system and donated everything to our cause! I don't have enough good things to say about them and have already put a hold on them for next year's event. Seriously, if you're lucky enough that BearFight is available for your date, book them!!!

compare to Bearfight. The guys are so great to work with and our wedding was just amazing because of them. We have lost track of how many times our friends and family told us how awesome they were and even had an uncle say to us the next day, "you know, I've been to a lot of weddings and this was the best one I've ever been to!" From start to finish Chris and his team were so helpful and organized. They made the whole process smooth and easy. Chris even helped us to find other vendors when we needed ideas. The DJ/band combination was awesome and the dance floor was packed all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band for our day!

ve them for our wedding day, so when the time came to start planning we scheduled our wedding day based off of Bearfight's availability! That's how important this group is to us!!! We cannot praise these guys enough for the love, laughs and pure excitement they brought on our wedding day! The floor was packed throughout the night and the stage was crashed by many! You guys are AMAZING! We're still reliving this day and our guests are still talking about how amazing you were! Thank you so much!!! Cheers!

of Bear Fight were accommodating, easy to work with, and so excited to be a part of our special day! John spent many nights on the phone with my husband and I answering questions about timing/format, song selection and countless other topics- he is not only an amazing musician, but such a kind and caring guy! On our wedding day, guests raved about the acoustic duo as we talked to everyone during cocktail hour and once the band started after dinner we danced the entire night! I can honestly say the best memory I have is getting on stage and dancing with my new husband to the amazing music of Bearfight as our closest friends and family rocked out! I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Bearfight- if you want to have the most unbelievably fun night of your lives, BOOK THEM!

venue. I would hire them allover again in a heartbeat. Their professionalism, energy and talent totally made the day so much fun and attributed to everyone saying that it was hands down one of the most fun weddings they've ever attended. We now have people who attended our wedding getting engaged and asking for their information. One more important note - they don't play any songs that would make you want to take a dance break, so strap on your sneakers and get ready to dance ALL NIGHT LONG.

ted to get married; just that BearFight would be our band. No joke, when we finally found our venue I didn’t even book it until I checked with the guys to make sure they were available. I was a little worried when we later found out that Chris wouldn’t be able to make it, but they did not disappoint. Our photographer even commented multiple times that this was the best band he had ever heard at a wedding. A noise complaint from a few floors above in the hotel proved just how hard they rocked out. Easily the best and easiest wedding planning decision we made. Thank you for being such great guys and so easy to work with. To anyone out there looking for a band, just book BearFight now you will not regret it.

st money spent on the wedding. From start to finish they were super cool and professional and totally understood the exact "vibe" we were going for. They were able to get the party started and keep it going. I was very nervous about having a wide Agee range- small children to elderly- at the wedding and trying to keep everyone's interest with dancing and music, but everyone had a blast! We keep being told it was an "over the top" and "best wedding ever" thanks to Bearfight! I can't wait to go to their local shows now that the wedding chaos is over.

ed to have them play at my wedding- mind you, I wasn’t even engaged at the time! I asked if they played at weddings and kept their card. Fast forward two years later, and I still had that card when I became engaged. The first major wedding decision I made was to hire BearFight as our band (before we even had a venue or a date)! My fiancé (now husband) hadn’t heard them before, but trusted me enough to hire them! And boy, was he happy I did! We had the BEST wedding I could have asked for. From the moment they started playing, guests of all ages crowded the dance floor. Even when it was time to shut down, the majority of guests were yelling “10 more songs!” We just didn’t want the party to stop! Our guests are still raving about how AWESOME they were! Not only was the band great, but the DJ was amazing as well! I can 100% say our wedding would not have been as memorable if they were not there. The guys were super friendly, professional yet fun, and easy to communicate with. They were more than willing to travel to upstate NY, which had to be at least a 4-5 hour drive for them. If you are looking for a great band and to have A LOT of fun, these are your guys!

I went to check them out on St. Patty's day 2016 , we knew on the spot they would be a perfect fit for our Cape Cod wedding. Planning with Chris was honestly one of my favorite memories from the entire wedding planning process - he was familiar with the unique layout of our venue, respected my concern of wanting to appeal to all of the age ranges of the guests (and delivered on!), and he was professionalism while still being beyond approachable. I loved that they gave us free reign of song selection while still guiding us on what works well for a wedding set list/DJ combo - I could go on and on! We spent our engagement following them around Boston and formed a great friendship with the guys - I got emotional when I first saw them as I walked through the reception space for the first time. Our wedding day would not have been the dream it was without Bearfight!

ption. They kept the party going and people were dancing all night long Highly recommend! If you are thinking about booking bearfight, do it! You won't regret it

ce(!) too man sing alongs to count, and the most incredible love-fest song list! Chris and the guys were an absolute dream to work with and made the process so easy. We even changed up a planned song the morning of, and they didn't bat an eye. So many people complimented us on the band, and truly the biggest compliment was the dance floor was PACKED past end time. We had such a great time working with them and I know if you hire them, you will too!

oor and having a great time the whole night. They were super easy to book, and were incredibly accommodating. Everything they do is professional and easy on the bride and groom. We are so happy with the band, they added so much in making our reception a blast. I cannot rate these guys high enough. There is not a single negative thing I can think of in dealing with BearFight. My wife and I can't wait to go see them play again. Do not hesitate in booking this band for your wedding, they are amazing.

ily my now husband was on board with the plan! Chris was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and I did not have any stress about the music at all. Having a fun party was my number one goal and Bearfight made that possible! The entire crowd was dancing all night and everyone was talking about how great the band was for the rest of the weekend! I highly recommend Bearfight if you're looking for an amazing band - they made our wedding unforgettable!

e our wedding band. Fast forward ten years later, we just had the biggest party of our life thanks to these guys! Our vision for our wedding was very, non-tradition, in that all we wanted was a party. No sit down dinner, no buffet, but grab food as you want and dance your you know what off. Bearfight was totally on board, saw our vision, and without hesitation pulled off the biggest party of our life! Cant thank these guys enough. We have friends and family STILL saying that it was the best wedding that they have been to and that their feet still hurt, raving the band and their energy. Thank you guys! ❤️

going all night long with a fun mix of music!!! I am so happy that they were highly recommended to us by a friend who scoured the country for her wedding band and found them! After seeing all of their reviews and performances, we knew we had to have them and booked them immediately (best thing we ever did)! Since the beginning of our wedding planning, we have felt well taken care of and they truly listened to every single request (BIG and SMALL)! The highlight was when I requested they play 'Love Shack,' as that is my power karaoke jam. Not only did they learn the song for me, but invited me up on stage so I could rock out at my own wedding!!! BEST DAY EVER and it's all due to Bearfight!!! We can not thank them enough!!!!!

hey have great experience and gave great advice while allowing us to individualize every aspect of our day. I can't think of a single thing more we could have asked for!

amazing to work with throughout the entire process and helped make our wedding night unforgettable. We had so many people raving about them during and after the wedding. They provided music for the ceremony as well as an acoustic set during cocktail hour which everyone loved. I cannot recommend Bearfight enough!

Fight. We got so many compliments on the band, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. You can't go wrong with these guys!!

remember looking around and seeing a packed dance floor - they are that good! We hired them for the ceremony and reception. They played exactly what we wanted. One family member even commented "whatever you paid for that band was worth every penny to see everyone dancing like that!"They come with their own DJ and he is awesome! I would highly recommend them for any event!

veness were top notch, and they made song selection and request very easy. Day of they were able to do all three aspects (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). We were dancing all night, and everyone kept saying how amazing the band was. Our reception was situated over the general store for the resort. One of our guest went down there during the reception and the woman working said it was the most rowdy wedding she has ever heard. Which I take as a good thing! We are so happy with their services and that they were willing to travel all the way to Vermont! I would recommend BearFight to anyone looking to hire a band for their wedding!

out what we wanted we agreed on one thing immediately and that was bearfight! Chris was always so quick to respond to every question I had. All of the guys were so friendly and didn't seem to care when all of our friends decided it was appropriate to get on stage with them during our wedding. They made our wedding a huge party and we can't thank them enough!

erything you could ever want from a wedding band, and you really get the whole package. To give you a sense of how flexible they are, Chris accommodated our last minute request to come to our venue (4 hours away!) to play acoustic at our welcome party the night before our wedding. AND when my dad wanted to surprise me and sing during his speech, Paul learned the music to the song...in less than a DAY! Our one requirement for our wedding band was that they bring the energy and keep the party going all night long--and they didn't disappoint! I'm not lying when I say I was dancing for 3 straight hours, and so was everyone else! I can't tell you how many of our guests told us that BearFight was "the best wedding band they ever heard!" A number of our friends have asked us for their info for upcoming events since - and one already booked them for her wedding next summer! We can't thank BearFight enough for helping to make our wedding weekend the best ever! I can't wait to refer them to everyone I know!

ey were great to work with before the wedding, and took our song requests and filled out the rest of the setlist to seem custom tailored to our crowd. We have had multiple people ask for the set list! We had a few kids at the wedding and they really enjoyed being called out from the stage, and at the end of the night the drummer gave them his drumsticks. Not sure how much the others on the bus ride home felt about that, but we know for sure it made the kids' night, week, year... We couldn't recommend BearFight enough!

ight long. It's two months later and we're still hearing from our guests how much fun they had and how awesome Bearfight was! Thanks for a legendary night, Bearfight!

ly the highlight of our wedding. We had an outdoor venue that required speakers to be off at 10pm. I was so sad that they couldn't play all night!! Book this band for your wedding and you will not be disappointed!

ts. We also liked that they offered the unique band/DJ combo which is really the best of both worlds. Bear Fight really brought the entertainment value to our wedding! They were so easy to work with and very good about responding/communication which any bride/groom really appreciates when you have a million other things you are trying to coordinate. We had a scheduled phone call the week of our wedding just to go over the specifics which I really appreciated. They had a ton of songs to choose from in their set lists from Dave Matthews and alternative, to Country, 80s, 90s and today. They were such great performers that interacted with us and our guests which helped to fill up our dance floor and get everyone up and dancing! Their DJ was great too! I had a particular mood in mind for the cocktail/dinner portion of the evening (Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc.) They provided me with a spreadsheet and I was able to fill in all my specific song requests (which I had a ton!) or leave it up to them to select the songs based on my general style requests. I also hired their DJ to come out for our ceremony to play pre-ceremony, processional, mid ceremony and recessional requests of mine which he did a beautiful job of! Lastly, our wedding ceremony was outside at a different venue then our reception, the weather forecast was very iffy that day and we were going to make a day of call a few hours before if we were going to proceed with the outdoor ceremony. It meant so much to me that Bearfight was willing to be flexible in terms of their set up time incase we had to move the ceremony indoors and worked with my onsite wedding coordinator instead of stressing me out on my wedding day over these sorts of details. These guys are definitely professionals! My husband and I along with our families and guests all highly recommend Bearfight for your MC, DJ and wedding band!

ght was the absolute best to work with. They are incredibly flexible, accommodating, and take so much time to make sure all music details are perfect. They truly set the tone of our reception and carried the party throughout the night. All of our friends and family could not stop talking about how Bearfight was the "best band they had ever heard" and "where did you find them!?". We had numerous friends and couples get their information as well as they wanted to hire them for their own upcoming weddings. Honestly, Bearfight's vibe, spirit and talent is incomparable to anyone else out there. We cant thank them enough for their tremendous role in our wedding and for creating the best party of all time. Thank you Bearfight!!
