Tom Sartori Band

istening to Tom warm up that we cancelled our first dance song recording with Van Morrison, and instead ask Tom to play something live for us. Hearing Tom in person is indescribable. His voice, musical and performance skills are off the charts! Our experience: my wife and I chose Tom Sartori after searching and interviewing many bands for our wedding. Just prior to covid we were planning for a large wedding in the FL Keys and wanted Tom and his band to perform. We signed a contract but then covid happened. I found Tom incredibly professional and understanding of the changing circumstances. He was flexible in coming up an agreement that made all parties happy. We ended up having a very small backyard wedding with just our parents, siblings and daughters. Tom ended up bringing just one other musician (violinist) and wow did they crush it together! I was initially concerned if a band was overkill for such a small wedding but Toms band was absolutely perfect! As my family arrived, the violinist played all sorts of classical and traditional music as well as new and modern genres (very cool on a Violin). Then during the dinner, Tom started playing. My wife and I were so impressed that we last minute cancelled the Van Morrison recording for our dance and said, “Tom, just play something and we’ll dance”. He played “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran...and it was truly “perfect.” I think Tom’s version of the song is way better than Ed’s -honest to God. Book Tom for your next party...you can’t go wrong. This guy should be more famous than he already is!

ecifically for the ceremony, and sounded even better than the original artist. Toms band was a bit more expensive than some of the other bands we shopped, but it was worth every penny! The Tom Sartori Band is absolutely the best wedding band out there All my guests told me it was the most fun reception they've ever been to and I have Tom to thank. People are still talking about the amazing wedding band we had months after the wedding. Thank you Tom for making our big day extra special!

e by the wrong name when he actually did get back to me and would go on and on about how busy he was. That is fine, I'm glad he was busy... I thought that was a good sign. After blowing me off for months, I never spoke with him before my wedding day. He told me he was "too busy" to speak with me so I talked with his violinist (Jaron) and DJ (Danny Bub) who both were actually amazing to work with. However, I hired Tom Sartori for my wedding. Once we got to my actual wedding day I spoke with Danny Bub in the morning to go over final details... it was concerning when he asked me questions that he should have already known, if he had actually spoken with Tom... however it was my wedding day and I was going to stress out. Tom ended up showing up AFTER 7pm when he was supposed to play my ceremony which started at 4, guests were arriving around 330. He was then supposed to provide music for my cocktail hour. Then he's 2.5 hours late to my reception. He made NO effort to contact me during the day and once he did finally arrive he said he was "sick". My coordinator informed his bandmates that they needed to contact me to see how I wanted the day to go since he wasn't going to be there. But no one contacted me or even asked me how I wanted MY day to go now. Tom just did what "he thought was best". I guess he thought I just wouldn't notice that he wasn't playing my ceremony, cocktail hour and wasn't there when my reception started. He was completely unprofessional by announcing to my entire wedding that he had to get "shot up with needles because he was so sick and got in a car accident on the way" and then on break walked around the reception holding his neck causing a huge scene. Bottom line, don't hire Tom Sartori, especially if it is for your wedding. I would give him zero stars if I could. He never offered to make it right, didn't apologize and lacked professionalism in all forms of communication, verbally and written.

re just hoping they play locally soon so we can just go and watch them!!! Thank you Tom!!

hanks Tom!!!

azing the entire night! He even learned our wedding song to sing live that evening... if you are trying to decide if Tom Sartori Band is the best choice for your wedding.... no need to think anymore!! Book them asap.. you will not be disappointed.

"BEST" describes how extremely talented this guy is. It might even be an understatement. I would love to invent a word that combines, BEST, Phenomenal, Sensational, and Freakin Top of the Charts. Tom far exceeded our expectations!! Our entire wedding was on the dance floor the whole night. We not only received rave feedback from how it was the most amazing performance that any of my friends and family had ever seen at a wedding before, but we truly felt like we were at our own front row concert. Tom lit up the room with his style. He adapted to the vibe and the people by playing music that fit the crowd and was versatile in his music strengths to continue to capture the room. What's even more fun about Tom is that he engages the entire dance floor with his upbeat personality. I contribute the entire evening of laughter, crazy dance moves, (seeing even our shy friends perform moves I've never seen before), and the most memorable of songs played live to Tom. If I was budgeting for anything to make your evening as incredible as mine, I'd make hiring his band the number 1 on my list. I can't thank him enough for the impact he made on my wedding night. And I will never forget this experience with him as my band!!!

ne including my tattooed, biker cousin, on the dance floor! Super professional, polite, and amazing talent. Tom is truly gifted when it comes to music. Incredible voice and a master of many instruments. Jared is a violin extraordinaire! The other members did a tremendous job as well. The Tom Sartori Band helped make our wedding an unforgettable day and the wife and I couldn't have picked anyone better! From the ceremony to reception, I can't say enough about them. Thank you so much!

hem before reaching out and my husband and I would say "Eh, they're OK". Then we found Tom Sartori band and I immediately said "They're IT!". They are truly amazing, crazy talented, SO fun, incredible, out of this world amazing!!! Do NOT look for another band, go with Tom Sartori Band! You seriously can't find anyone better. I wish I could hire them to play at an event for our friends and family every month they are so freaking talented and impressive. They made our wedding out of this world amazing, and they're very kind, humble and fun to work with. My wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. The band/DJ is such a critical part of a wedding, and can make or break it. Tom Sartori MADE IT! They're the best!!!!

dance and his performance was fantastic!!!! Thank you for a great time!!!!!!

k with, and helps you with whatever question you might have and to achieve an extraordinary night of singing and dancing. Booking Tom was without a doubt, the best decision . Thank you for being phenominal .

ver seen perform. I had a beach wedding/reception and gave Tom a general idea of the kind of music I wanted for the night. Rather than bug me with the playlist, Tom took care it himself, knowing I had so many other things to worry about... And it was PERFECT! There were songs for everyone - oldies, country, pop, you name it. I booked the 4 piece band and everything they played sounded so amazing. The entire night I had my guests coming up to me telling me it was the best band they'd ever heard at a wedding, and I agree completely! Half way through the song that my husband and mother-in-law were dancing to, there was a torrential downpour. Rather than stop playing and run for cover to protect their instruments, the band continued to play through the whole song, not wanting to ruin my husband and mother-in-law's moment; that's just how amazing these guys are (not many bands would do that!). To top it off, they moved into our backup venue and played longer than we originally booked them for. Had they not done this, I would have had my guests dancing to songs playing off my phone the whole night. They literally saved the day. They took requests, and knew every single song we asked for. In my opinion, bands either make or break a wedding reception. The Tom Sartori Band were more than I could have hoped for. If you're even thinking about booking them, do it immediately and consider it the best decision you've made in a long time. If I ever need a band for an event again, I will be calling these guys up.

u probably have never met (but communicate over time using email, phone etc.) or may not meet until ‘the big day.’ We did not have the luxury to get ‘local’ recommendations and simply relied upon the exceptional people that we worked with for guidance. Tom Sartori is one such example of an exceptionally talented artist. Here is what you get when you work with Tom: first and foremost expertise; he is a musician FULL TIME. Not like some of these other so-called ‘wedding bands’ where the guitar player is a line cook at the local Olive Garden during the week and plays at weddings for some ‘extra cash’. Tom is a professional, courteous. He was always accessible and able to customize his band and set-list based upon our budget; you can hire just him (which would be more than enough for most events) or ask him to add bass and drums or a full-on 12 piece; scalability is key and a point of differentiation. Most importantly, Tom was humble. He genuinely feels blessed that he can share his talent with others and will consult with you to deliver lasting memories for all. As far as I am concerned, there are only 2 people to consider for your wedding: Tom Sartori and everyone else. Sign him up now before someone else does.

violinist for our ceremony, sax and guitar for cocktail hour and then the full band for the reception. We had a tough time connecting before the wedding but it was not a concern day of. We were very concerned about hiring a band that kept the party going and did not play slow songs and living in NYC for the past 8 years, we've seen our share of great performances. Tom and team are right up with them!

regularly attend concerts and live music events as well as I'm an amateur musician myself. I booked Tom over the multitude of other wedding bands because the others seemed too cheesy. Tom promised over and over that he'd gauge the crowd's interest and keep everyone dancing. Let me tell you, he 100% delivered. Starting with the cocktail hour, it was spot on. Tom is both a talented guitarist and keys player, but his true talent is his voice. He improvises with well-known songs to add to their appeal. For the reception he absolutely killed it. I had numerous people tell me it was the most fun reception they've ever been to and I have Tom to thank. People were tossing around words like "phenomenal" and "amazing". Due to some technical issues during the DJ portion of the dinner (occasional static due to faulty wires), Tom playing his guts out for longer than the contracted time and more than made up for it. If I had to book a band for another occasion, I wouldn't think about looking elsewhere and we hope to get him up here in NYC to perform some time.

3 new songs specifically for the ceremony (songs by Peter Gabriel, Colbie Caillat and Elvis) and with just a few days notice learned another song for the Bride/Father dance (Barry Manilow) and a special request from the Best Man (Queen). All sounded as if he had been playing them for years. Tom performed everything from country to 70's/80's rock to current hits and had everyone dancing all night long. He was professional throughout the entire experience and even had 2 setups so one could already be ready at the reception while he was playing at the ceremony. All ages from our parents in their 60's to 80's to our college age children commented on how great/perfect the music was throughout the day. We couldn't have been happier with Tom. He is the real deal, a talented, professional musician and we would recommend Tom to anyone looking for the perfect solo artist/band. We would give Tom more than 5 stars if we could. Book him and you won't be disappointed. Nicole and Brad

who hires him will NOT be disappointed!!!
