Reviews for Parkside Drive

Parkside Drive is an amazing band!!! If you want to ensure a great party at your Wedding, honestly do yourself a favour and lock down this band. David is incredibly professional and will spend quality time with you prior to the wedding to get a solid understanding of the types of music you want to them to play. They will even learn a few new tunes if timing allows! Not only did they play amazing music the entire night - they strategically performed specific sets that got people up and moving from the minute they started to play - Funk/Soul/Oldies/Rock/Top 40/Etc...
The lead singer even got down and was singing in the crowd...dancing with everyone. The energy was incredible. Our family and friends are still talking about it.
Great band. Incredibly professional (it is their business!). Guaranteed party!
Thanks Parkside Drive...we'll be seeing you at your next show in...

Parkside Drive was nothing short of amazing from the moment I contacted them. Within minutes of sending an email to get more info on the band, David Barnes called me. That responsiveness continued even after our wedding (Dave thanked us for selecting them!). From the outset, my husband and I loved how youthful the band is compared to so many other wedding bands! We wanted a fun band that would keep our guests dancing all night. They did not disappoint us! The lead singer Megan even sang and danced right next to us (which everyone loved). Parkside Drive is comprised of an undeniably amazing group of musicians, and to top it off, they are remarkably professional. Our family and friends are STILL talking about the band two months after our wedding! Book this band! It's the best choice you can make!

Parkside Drive is an awesome, talented band that really got everyone up on the dance floor and having a blast. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a real shaker of a wedding.

Parkside Drive was outstanding! Many people at our wedding asked us " Where did you find this band, they are amazing?" The band made the night, it was the cherry on top to our perfect evening. They were professional, very accommodating, and extremely engaging. I would highly recommend Parkside Drive to anyone looking for the perfect wedding Band.

Dave was an absolute professional. The band was flexible and accomodating with all of our requests. They have a great energy about them and had a very contemporary repertoire. During the ceremony, they were very responsive to the feel of the crowd and played music to fit the audience. We had a flawless experience with them! Highly recommended!

Parkside Drive was by far the highlight of our wedding. From start to finish they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They were so organized and always got back to us quickly when in the planning stages. On the day of the wedding, the ceremony, cocktails, and after dinner dancing were executed flawlessly. We are so thankful to have had Parkside Drive be such an important part of our big day. All of our friends and family could not stop talking about how great all the music was. We danced the night away and would recommend them to anyone having a wedding looking for an amazing party!

I cannot imagine our wedding without Parkside Drive. These guys were impressive from start to finish - they were professional and easy to deal with, and seamlessly set the music for our day, from the ceremony all the way to the dance floor. They have an AMAZING repertoire of songs - everything from old classics that our parents would appreciate, to the latest popular hits. They bring an energy to the room and know how to get people on the dancefloor. We especially loved when their lead singer was down on the dance floor, singing amongst us - very cool. We received a ton of compliments from our guests and have reommended them over and over again. They make us want to get married all over again! Thank you Parkside Drive!

I just wanted to tell you how amazing your performance and everything was at our wedding.
The songs were great and so very engaging to the entire audience. You and your band have been great to deal with from the planning stages, repertoire, financial - right down to the wedding day.
I can't thank you and the band enough for playing the extra songs when the audience was calling for them. It really ended the night perfectly.
People at my wedding have told me that they will be considering Parkside Drive's bands for their wedding entertainment in the future. I told them that this is a great idea. Please let me if you are ever in need of a reference or if you would like a glowing testimonial for your website, etc - please don't hesitate!
It has been great working with you through all of this, you really made this a stress-free part of the wedding preparation and your performance...

Dear Parkside Drive
We have internet at our hotel in Honolulu (just woke up on our first day!) and wanted to send you a quick note to thank you SO much for playing at our wedding!
The Parkside Drive bands MADE the ceremony and reception absolutely amazing!!! Everyone had so much fun and we heard nothing but wonderful things about your performance! We both have quite a few friends who are engaged too and getting married in the next year so hopefully you get some referrals!
Anyways, thanks again and we'll send you some pictures of the dancing and the band when we get them back from the photographer.

I just want to say that we had Parkside Drive as our wedding band and they were absolutely AMAZING!!! I saw them play at a venue in Toronto and I was so blown away with their performance that I decided to book them for our wedding. This band was extremely professional, organized, considerate of our music requests and really knows how to get people dancing (even those guests that don't normally get up and dance). The whole process was made incredibly easy due to their experience and attention to detail. I didn't have to worry or do anything, they did it all! I still have people asking me for the name of the band so that they can book them for their weddings/private events. Thanks for making our wedding such a great night!

I want to let you know that we already got one request for you guys and will be putting all your info out there via Facebook as we get back pictures and videos.

"Hello Dave and Parkside Drive,
our most sincere gratitude for the celebratory and joyful mood you created at our wedding. We loved the band and judging by the people on the dance floor, and all our friends and family asking "where did you find this amazing band?", our guests loved you guys too.
In advance, we knew we could plan and organize most aspects of our wedding; such as location, food, who is attending, etc. So we knew we would have a great day. One area of concern for us in the planning stage was entertainment. This part of our day could potentially continue or stop the celebratory mood. We knew we wanted a live band as it brings a certain energy to the party, something that a recording or DJ cannot do. As soon as you played the first few notes, we knew it was going to be a great night. Your professionalism is evident before, during, and after the gig. Your passion and love of music comes alive when you are performing. You guys truly have something special, and we are so grateful and pleased to have had you play on our wedding day.
You surpassed our expectations of what a wedding band can be. You guys sound and look great on your online videos, but they don't compare to seeing and hearing you live. We would recommend you to anyone we know looking for a band. As a matter of fact, two of the guests at our wedding are interested in booking you for their wedding.
A special thank you from Steve for letting me come up and play 'Superstition' with you guys. I didn't think the day/night could get any better, but that topped it off! If you ever need a sub keys player for a gig, the GTA is not too far a drive for me! :)
Once again, we just wanted to say a huge 'THANK YOU' for making our wedding reception complete!"

We want to thank YOU so much. You guys were fantastic. Everyone was raving about you. Dan and I couldn't have been happier. Working with you has been such a pleasure. You are so professional and are so good at what you do.
We hope you made it back to Toronto safely. If there's anything we can do for you in the future let us know. We'd be happy to write a reccomendation.
Thank you thank you, "
