From the very beginning, Vin and Ant were so easy to work with and great with communication. We even got to FaceTime with Vin before the wedding to discuss s...
et lists, which made us even more excited for the big day.
Our vision was for the night to feel like everyone was at a concert — full of energy, dancing, and great music — and they completely nailed it. The dance floor was packed the entire night! They played our ceremony music beautifully and let us customize our cocktail hour playlist and must-plays for the reception so everything reflected our personalities and music tastes perfectly. They surprised us with some Blink and the dancefloor absolutely erupted! We have a family tradition at weddings for Paradise by the Dashboard Light and the band was on board playing the full song and handing the mics over to us. So fun!
They were also incredibly flexible and accommodating, especially when wedding planning wasn’t the easiest. I can't stress enough that not only are they professionals but they're kind, thoughtful people that just want you to have the best wedding possible. They're a band that loves what they do and it's evident in their work and hospitality.
If you’re looking for a band that brings amazing energy, keeps everyone dancing, and makes your wedding feel totally you, Cause and the Effects is the one! We can't wait to go to local events and watch them play over and over again. Sorry, fellas, you have two newlyweds that are lifelong fans now! Going to recommend you to every engaged couple we meet 🤍
BOOK. THIS. BAND. We’ve seen them a few times in bars around our area and we KNEW they had to play at our wedding. We legit picked our wedding date around their availability. I can...
’t say enough kind words about Vin, Anthony, and the rest of the band. They truly care about your day and want it to be a perfect party. They learned our first dance song just for us, helped us pick a vibe for the type of music to play, and gave timing recommendations throughout the whole night. Vin went out of his way in every form. They played our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They even went over at the end to play my favorite song. We had newly engaged friends text us after because they want to hire them for their wedding!! They’re a genuine group of people that we plan to keep seeing playing and keep in contact with (I think we may be groupies now). If you’re looking for vendors that you want a connection with, have a passion for music, and that feel like friends – this is your vendor. DO. IT!!!!!
THE CAUSE AND THE EFFECTS is by far the best wedding band in the business! 10/10 this band is MUST BOOK FOR YOUR WEDDING!! My guests still cannot stop talking about how amazing the...
y are. From booking to last song this band really makes you feel like family. Wedding planning is stressful enough and music is such a huge part of the reception. Vin had such great input on what works and what doesn’t work. They really know what the people want to hear! He made picking songs so easy. They’ll learn whatever song you want! We opted for the 10 piece band and it was SO WORTH IT!!! The horn section elevated every song! The setlist covered all the decades of music so all my guests, young and old, got what they wanted! Nicole and Anthony have such beautiful voices! The way the guitarists, drummer, and horn section interacted with my guests on the dance floor was AMAZING! This group really found their calling. I can’t recommend them enough! They made my entire wedding a night no one will ever forget!
Cause and The Effects were absolutely amazing! Their communication and professionalism leading up to the wedding were top-notch. On the big day, their energy and talent had everyon...
e on the dance floor all night long. Numerous guests raved about how fantastic they were. If you want a wedding band that will exceed your expectations and keep the party going, Cause and The Effects is the perfect choice!
Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!!!
We got married on 12/10/22 at Normandy Farm, and Cause and the Effects exceeded all expectations both of us had about our wedding band. During the planning process, Vin was a pleas...
ure to work with, and they were flexible and able to meet all requests and needs. The night of the party they were so energetic for the entire night, keeping the party going, and making sure all of our guests had a great time at our wedding. For a long time our friends and family were skeptical about having a band instead of a DJ as our entertainment, and every one of them came up to me and my new wife praising the band and amazed at just how much fun they had. Some of them have even decided to hire a band for their own wedding, this band was that great. If you hire Cause and the Effects, we promise you will have the night of your life.
Cause and the Effects was truly a pleasure to work with! They are professional and SO incredibly talented. I hired a subset of their band to perform during my cocktail hour and r...
eceived so many compliments. They engaged the crowd when appropriate and even let my 5 year old niece come up and sing with them. I received so many compliments on their song selections and I couldn't have imagined my wedding day without them!
We got married on 9/18/21 in NYC - Vin played the piano for our cocktail hour and we booked the full band for our reception. Vin and the band were an absolute pleasure to work with...
. We had to move our initial date due to Covid and the band couldn't have been more accommodating, understanding and easy to work with. They're true professionals from how they prepared the setlist, MC'ed the event and got the crowd fired up and on the dance floor.
Now to the reception...The band was incredible. They did an amazing job learning and performing our off the beaten path first dance song. Throughout the party they were out on the dance floor interacting with the crowd and played a range of awesome songs that got everyone fired up. Multiple family members and friends keep telling us how great the band was! We couldn't have been happier with our decision!
We had a wedding on August 20, 2021, with Cause and the Effects as our wedding band. The wedding was beautiful, great pictures/video, people loved the photobooth, etc. But all anyo...
ne talked about, as the wedding ended, and the days afterwards, was our unbelievable wedding band. It was the story of our wedding. If you haven't seen these guys in action, just scroll through their Instagram account and take a peek at what they provide in terms of entertainment. They don't just play music, it is an experience. Members of the band come out on the dancefloor. People are up onstage with them. These guys don't just play music for your reception, they are there to make it the most memorable wedding you've ever attended. I've lost count of the amount of people who've inquired about Cause and the Effects since our wedding, and the amount of compliments we/they got.
In terms of working with them, I dealt with Vin and Anthony to talk ceremony, dance, parents songs. Easiest experience throughout the entire planning process. I was able to even select certain songs we wanted for the reception, that they threw into their setlist. Incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, and an absolute steal in terms of price when I think about these other boring weddings bands I've seen.
If you are looking for a wedding that will not be forgotten, this is the wedding band you want. There is no one like them out there. I've seen other acts try to be fun, and it's overly-done. This band is as natural as they come, interacting with the dancefloor the entire night and keeping everything fun all the way through.
Thank you to Cause and the Effects for one of the most memorable nights of our lives!!!
