Saw them in a small venue last evening. they BLEW US AWAY!!! Absolutely THE BEST. Cant wait till I get to hear them again. :-}
We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding! We absolutely loved The Cheeseballs. They listened to our requests for style/vibe (and what not to play - thanks guys!!...
), learned a few amazing songs for us, and totally jammed from classics like September by Earth, Wind, and Fire, to Shake it Off by Taylor Swift. (but don't just take these songs as example - their repertoise is amazing and incredibly broad - we only wish we could've heard even more of it!!). They also did a great job MC'ing the evening.
Our guests had a blast on the dance floor and we never wanted the night to end. We would hire The Cheeseballs for any wedding or event where you want the dance floor to be a key part of your experience - you cannot go wrong.
Finally, including the horns was also the best decision - we suggest not to hesitate, just do it!!
Big shout out to TCB for getting the job done like the bosses that they are (and sorry for the delay reviewing you!). This the band when you want the funk (and soul, and hip-hop, a...
nd rock, and current hits, and country). Eric + JSP and team went all the way for us and we will never forget it.
Just go see them live. End of story. This is a real band with the same players every time (not a fake band, like some here). They had crazy skills, and knew exactly what they were doing.
Recommended all the way.
Thrilled to have locked in one of our favorite bands for our big day. We haven't had it yet, but have seen The Cheeseballs for years (San Francisco, Napa, Tahoe) and knew from the ...
very first moment this was going to be our band. And we have them. I can confidently recommend them as reliable, professional, fun, and just the right dose of funk. BRING IT ON. CHEESEBALLS.
5 stars all the way. 10 if we can go that high.
I wasn't a bride (or a groom) but I have to rave about this band as I just came across their profile, as I am about to embark on looking for bands.
Sadly, they. are booked for my...
upcoming wedding, but I went to two friends weddings where these guys delivered the hits. That was probably the most fun ive had on a dance floor in ages. It was all pure full on dance party, and I loved the way they brought the choreography. They had 3 singers, all of who dance, and what I will never forget is how amazing the drummer and bassist were, all locked into a groove and had us just smiling.
Good vibes and positive energy. Hire them if you can!
The Cheeseballs made our wedding!! We walked into the reception with the energenic tunes playing and it set everyone's moods to "let's have FUN!" They played great songs and were...
the life of the party. We could have danced all night (if there wasn't a noise ordinance at our venue!)
We were so excited to work with the Cheeseballs for our wedding, however due to the pandemic, we never got to hear them live before we had our wedding. We joked when we met the fri...
endly and talented band members that we listened to their music on their website 1x a week...but it was really true!
At our wedding, they had everyone on the dance floor, took our requested music into account, and kept the energy going. Many of our friends flew from NYC and are used to 12 person bands...they ALL told us that the Cheeseballs were the best wedding band they've experiences. Now THAT is incredible.
Thank you, Cheeseballs!
Wow! Wow! Wooooowww!!! Did I say wow already?! We somehow managed to book the Cheeseballs last minute for our Friday wedding in February and they were phenomenal! They had so much ...
vocal talent I thought I was at Coachella! I actually had two wedding guests separately comment to me that they thought one of the vocalists was the real Pitbull! EVERYONE was on the dance floor the entire night and The Cheeseballs really cranked up the party! They were easy to work with, showed up on time, and really made our wedding 10x more fun!
Yikes. So sorry for the delay in sending in this review.
The Cheeseballs were the ABSOLUTE BEST. A picture perfect band for a wonderful day. Funky and flexible, even my mother-in-...
law was thrilled.
I hope she doesn't read this!
Y'all rock. Cheeseballs 5 stars!
The Cheeseballs brought the funk (and soul, and rock, and wedding classics, and hip-hop, and fun) to our wedding WELL beyond out expectations.
Eric and crew are stars. Each and e...
very one of you. Thank you so much.
You will not regret hiring The Cheeseballs!
I've known the cheeseballs since the eary zeroes and have seen them at weddings many times, one time on my recommendation too. If there is one thing they do well is get people danc...
ing. They play everything from 70s funk to contemporary pop. An incredible repertoire and they will play almost evert request on the spot - I've seen it - without hesitation. They exude stage presence and know how to whip a crowd to frenzy.
My husband and I wanted the best band for our sons wedding. My husband is in a band and had high expectations. Many of our friends had seen the Cheeseballs throughout the years an...
d they came highly recommended. We wanted a mix of classic and modern hits. They provided the most perfect blend of songs that had everyone dancing. Not to mention vegas style show costumes and choreography. Classy and fun all in one! I can see why they are rated the Bay Areas Greatest Party Band.
I saw this group at my best friends daughter's wedding and they were fantastic. A very professional group and they had everyone on the floor dancing. I'd rate them an 11 out of 10...

You know that perfect day you dream about as a little girl about having the perfect wedding day? This band made it 10x better than I could have ever imagined. They let me pick out ...
all our favorite songs and we’re so professional. They provided our ceremony and dinner sound as well and really made our lives easy having a one stop shop for all our sound needs.
My sister (the bride) and I went to go check these guys out. They were just what we were looking for. They were already booked for the day we needed them for so we were bummed. So ...
if you’re thinking about hiring them, do it fast!
This band was totally what my family was looking for. We are all dancers and The Cheeseballs didn’t give us a chance to get off the stage. Constant party. Really current song choic...

These guys are the real deal!
Saw The Cheeseballs at my cousins wedding. These guys are not a wedding band. They are a dance til you drop, funky, bouquet of all the songs you could imagine wanting to dance to w...
ith your closest friends and family. All the best hits from every decade. They know how to keep the party going. All the singers had killer voices and great dance moves. Really seemed more like a show than just a band. Can’t wait til more of my friends and family get married so I can see these guys again!
An amazing band that has the best of all music genres. Gets everyone on the floor dancing the entire night with great energy. While they were not cheap, they were worth the money....
If you're going to splurge on anything, this is it. Always a pleasure to work with.
The Cheeseballs were awesome. They were a rare combination of super high-quality and easy to work with, which is hard to find when wedding planning.
For music, they have a wide r...
ange of songs and our party had a healthy mix from Whitney Houston to LMFAO.
The lead singer was also the MC and was both funny and entertaining. They had great energy the entire time and made sure that the guests were up and dancing. We received many compliments about them from friends and family.
Working with The Cheeseballs (and Jay Siegan Presents - their manager) was great! One of our main goals for our wedding was to make sure that everyone had a great time and throughl...
y enjoyed their evening. We decided that a live band, rather than a DJ would really add to the atmosphere at our formal wedding. When choosing a band, The Cheeseballs stood out due to their large range of music options; however, what really sold us was their renditions of some oldies-but-goodies. We wanted everyone out on the dance floor the whole night and we got just that with The Cheeseballs.
At our wedding we opted to have the additional horn section, which I do think made a difference, but the band as a whole was amazing! Their energy was great the entire evening, they even had a costume change.
The band was easy to work with and pretty accommodating when it came to booking them and the requests they had for day of.
The Cheeseballs were awesome at our wedding - worked with us to get our song list and other music preferences, and they got everyone dancing right away and kept everyone on the dan...
ce floor for two 90 minute sets. We couldn't have picked a better band.
The Cheeseballs were amazing to work with, and put on such a great show. They ran through oldies to start, all the way up to really new songs and kept the dancefloor packed the ent...
ire time. Even both grandmas were dancing, no matter what they were singing! Such a great band, they will be our best memories from that day. We would love to have them back for an anniversary party down the road!

5 stars all the way.
This band is AMAZING!
They are so lovely to work with. They keep the energy high, and get everyone dancing all night!
A great band is the best thing ever, but a bad band can ruin the wedding. Everyone was on the floor the entire night. While they were not cheap, they were worth the money. The r...
