Reviews for Side One Entertainment

Side One did an amazing job at our wedding. They helped us pick songs for everything, and even did a few awesome requests. All I keep hearing about is how great the band was. They are amazing and play a great selection of songs. I would highly suggest Sideone for any event and would gladly hire them again

The band made our wedding so unique and memorable! Everyone was a joy to work with and Rob was very accommodating with my sister singing with them. All of our guests loved them!!

SideOne was one of the best parts of our wedding!!!!! Rob did the guitar solo during our ceremony and the songs we were able to choose added a wonderful personal touch. He also was an ipod DJ during the dinner and he took care of all the details of fading in and out for speeches.
Once the band got going for our first dance, the dance floor was packed for the rest of the night and didn't empty until it was all over. We had a blast, it felt almost like being at a totally awesome concert that was just for us :)

Wow, thank you Kathleen! Not just for the review, but for introducing us to the awesomeness known as the Tallest Man on Earth. I was mildly familiar with his music before, but I ended really getting into him after your request.....possibly the hippest processional tune of all time.

sideONE is the BEST band ever!!! They did an amazing job at our wedding, our guests are still talking about how awesome they were. From the ceremony music, to the acoustic set, to the party band, we couldn't have hoped for anything more. And, they were so easy to work with and really accomodative in learning a few new songs that were special to us. I highly recommend them and if you book them for your event I promise you won't be sorry!!!

Aww, thanks Kate! Such a great and beautiful wedding. I especially loved your father in-law's speech about "the meaning of weddings" and of course your Dad's epic slideshow.....absolutely, without question, THE GREATEST SLIDESHOW OF ALL TIME! And who could forget the Pulp Fiction dance. Awesome. Hope you guys are well, say hi to Paul from Erin and I.

Side One was everything I was looking for in band I wanted to hire for my wedding. Im not a huge music guru but I love live music. They met with me and my fiancee once, which is all we had time for, and they went over likes and dislike and on the wedding day they rocked out. There wasn't a bad song. Guest who I never expected to be dancing were on the floor all night. Everyone I spoke to was raving about the quality of music. Side One is awesome in the true sense of the word.

A fantastic band. A very professional band that was committed to making our wedding successful. Very open to feedback and suggestions regarding our playlist choices. We received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from our guests concerning the band

Amazing as always! As a wedding planner, my clients look to me to recommend the highest quality vendors for their events. K&C booked Side One Band based on my recommendation alone - without having ever heard them play. They were completely BLOWN away at their wedding! The band had all of their guests rocking the dance floor until the venue closed at 1am. They keep their set lists up to date with current top 40 songs as well as have a some of the long-time hits. I will happily and confidently recommend Side One to my clients in the future.

You will never regret spending a little extra dough to have Side One at your wedding. Side One had everyone on the dance floor all night long, and people weren't just hanging around they were dancing! Side One learned our requested first dance song (from a YouTube clip) and they absolutely nailed it! Side One is not your typical 'wedding band', they are professional musicians that now how to make a wedding unforgettable! Thank you Side One!

I wish I had seen this wedding, Erin claims it to be the greatest crowd we've ever had. Thanks so much for the review Karly and for helping us keep Erin's severed thumb together!
Lover's Spit - Broken Social Scene: hippist first dance choice of all time......man, I regret not being there.

Best decision ever! They were amazing!
Vendor response to review
We are still recovering from this wedding. I can honestly say, this was absolutely the funnest wedding I've ever played. The dancing never stopped and all of you had so much energy and we have video to prove it!! It's always great when the couple has the same taste in music as we do...thanks again. The Sam Cooke for the last tune was also a nice touch.

Side One provided the entertainment for my wedding, and everyone agreed that they were the most memorable part of the wedding.
We gave them total control of the song list, as well as a rough sketch of the type of people coming to the wedding. There wasn't a single song the entire night that didn't have half of our guests on the floor dancing.
If you're undecided, do what we did and check them out at one of their many free casino or wedding show performances. Watching the wide spectrum of people they appealed to is what sealed it for us. For anyone considering a band, you can't go wrong with Side One. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, completely professional, and exceeded all of our expectations.

Thanks so much Cam. I remember you guys becoming the first Side One groupies of sorts. From Indie I Do to coming out to casino nights to finally rocking your wedding. Hope you guys are well, say hi to Karen from Erin and I!
Always a party when Side-One is playing! Great talent, professional, and a wide variety of music for all groups.
Want the best band in town that'll get all your guests up and dancing all night long? SIDEone is what you're looking for! We had them at our wedding, and to this day our guests still rave about the dancing! As a photographer, I've shot them at many weddings, and I can always be sure that I have tons of killer images of dance floor fun!
If I could have any band play at every wedding, it would be Side One - without a doubt. We had the pleasure of enjoying Side One at a wedding last year at a Swan-e-set Bay wedding and they wow'd all the guests. The music was lively, upbeat, extremely popular, and it got everyone moving on the dance floor. As a wedding photographer, I attend a lot of weddings and hear a lot of DJs and bands, and Side One is by far my favourite in Metro Vancouver. If you want music at your special event, you must contact Side One, you will not be disappointed!
Having a DJ at a wedding seems like turning a walkman (remember those?) up on full blast plugged into a tiny speaker in the corner of the room when compared to having Side One in charge of the dance floor. It just can't compare.
These guys are an incredibly talented group of performers, and your guests will be talking about them for years. Beyond...
SideOne was cofounded by Filosophi Events to fill the need in the market for an event band that wasn't the usual stereotypical cliche, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Not only is the band among the most affordable in town, they are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to musicianship and material. They manage to play songs that everyone loves will avoiding the overdone to death ones. We wholeheartedly recommend SideOne to all of our clients as time and time again they have absolutely owned the party at the events we have worked together on, and our clients are always left raving. :)
About Side One Entertainment
Having a live band is a must if you want your party to be a party, but it needs to be the right live band. We won't rail at you for several paragraphs with the same words everyone uses like dynamic, energetic, engaging, polished and infectious - though all would apply. The point is simply that this band is made up of extremely talented and experienced musicians, and the sets were crafted for the sole purpose of packing a dance floor, while avoiding entirely the typical cover band cheese. With a repertoire covering ground from Aretha to Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon to Queen and literally everything in between, SideOne will customize the set to appeal to your guests and at no point will there be any YMCA-ing, promise. SideOne is about the music, and the audience, and will rock your event for a price that won't make you gag.
