Lunchbox was such a great band to have here at The Ellis in Columbus, Ohio! From reading the room to keeping the energy up and the night flowing, they did an amazing job making the event feel engaging and fun. As the event coordinator, I appreciated how kind and collaborative Zak and the rest of the band was in helping create a great experience for the guests. Live music can bring so much more to an event, and these guys truly delivered. Thank you guys for being such a great addition to the night!

The absolute life of the party! While some guests commented on the venue, some on the decor, others on food/drinks, EVERYONE absolutely raved about the live band, Lunchbox! The guys were beyond professional and prepared in the months leading up to the wedding reviewing everything in great detail. However, the execution was flawless. If you’re remotely considering a live band at your wedding or any shindig for that that matter, hire Lunchbox NOW! You will not regret it!

n after booking them to see what a full set from them looked like. The samples were great, but seeing them was even better. They fit exactly what we wanted for a set list. Because of this we only asked them if they knew one song to mix in with others that we had already heard them play. I’m not sure what a dj runs anymore, but I wouldn’t bother. Hire them and you will not be disappointed. Our friends still talk about how much fun it was to have a band playing. Thanks again guys!!! We can’t wait to see you all again!

The LunchBox band has everything you want to make your big day a smashing success. Zak and the guys played on Friday 10/27 at our new event venue, The Palomar, and brought so much...
energy, professional, and joy into everything they did. From managing the ceremony music through ensuring every song built upon the next one, each song was perfectly timed for its place in the evening. Also, the music had a wide range and kept everyone on the dance floor and smiling from ear to ear. My heart was bursting when the crowd chanted “encore….encore” and the epic song they ended with ensured the night would be remembered fondly for the rest of their lives. Besides the music, they took such good care of our historical property, treating both the building and the guests with so much love.
I could not recommend Lunch Box any higher. Zak’s warm and easy communication style taught me that bands can be equally energizing and thrilling as they are professional and organized.

eline ready to go over with me. They were amazing all night! A lot of bands that brides and grooms hire can be difficult to work with and take too many breaks but they took maybe one short break during their songs but other than that they played all night and were awesome! At the end of the night, they packed up all of their supplies very quickly and were out of the venue within an hour. Most bands take hours to leave but they cleaned up and left in no time at all. Such a great group of guys. They were so friendly and joked with the staff which always makes for a fun evening. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a band for their wedding.

I highly recommend Lunchbox! They are talented musicians and really keep a fun energy up and the guests dancing.
As a venue manager my favorite thing about them compared to other...
wedding bands is that they are just a 4 person group. Most wedding bands have a staff of musicians that they plug in for events so you get some variability in performance/experience. With Lunchbox, you know you are going to get exactly what you pay for since it's just a group of 4 pals who love playing together!

We love the venue and and the staff. Thank you and we'll be back soon!
