Kathryn (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH July 2011 "Sean and his band mates made the entire process so easy (and fun). They even wanted us to pick and choose all music for their breaks. Great recommendations were made by Sean for entry music and introduction music. Also but together a very solid schedule that helped us stay on track all night long!

I know you guys were the ones keeping the party going so we really appreciate it." - VIDEO LINK Emily (bride) - wedding - Indianapolis, IN June 2011 "Working with you for this outdoor wedding with its unpredictable nature and the problems the weather could have created was assuring. Your group is so professional and helpful ... It was so easy to work with you over email too. The music was just what Blair and Chris wanted. What a great time they and their friends had. So sorry it had to end. Again many many thanks." Rita (Mother of the bride) - wedding - Hamilton, OH June 2011 "After our guests warmed up at the reception, the dance floor was full of people getting down! Sean was so interactive with our guests. He came down to the dance floor and sang, gave our guests a blow up guitar so they could play out their air guitar moments, which the little kids loved. We could not be any more pleased with their performance. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to throw a fun party ...I have heard so many compliments from our guests about how much fun you all were." Blair (bride) - wedding - Hamilton, OH June 2011 "You guys were fantastic and kept the dance floor full until you played your last song. You and the band far surpassed the high expectations that Rob & I had for the music that evening, Thank you, Thank you THANK YOU!" Stephanie (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH June 2011 "Thank you so much. You guys were great!" Deanna (bride) - wedding - Jeannette, PA May 2011 "Next Exit was PERFECT for my wedding reception! I wanted fun, interactive, and live entertainment for my guests and they DELIVERED. I thought their price was more than fair for all they did. They are professional and were well prepared for the event and they listened to what we wanted. They were a perfect package since they were also able to do the talking before we got to the dancing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and no-worry reception." Kristen (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH May 2011 (posted review on Weddingwire.com) "You guys were amazing and so fun, exactly what we were looking for in a wedding band. Please, let me know if you ever need any references. Austin and I and our families would be more than happy to provide one. We were all thrilled and had the best time!" Allison (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH March 2011 "Thank you for the wonderful performance the night of our wedding. Job well done! Your band appealed to all generations! Thanks for helping to make our big day PERFECT!" Stacey (bride) - wedding - Worthington, OH October 2010 "We had seen Next Exit several times before our wedding, so we knew what we would be getting. They are a lot of fun and helped us plan our wedding reception perfectly. Sean, the lead singer, had a worksheet for us to fill out so he knew what we wanted to do (or not) at our wedding. They interacted with the crowd at the reception by handing out tambourines and blow up guitars. That made for some fun pictures. They play a great mix of rock music that people know. I highly recommend Next Exit!" Review from Weddingbee.com - September 2010 Voted one of the top 3 wedding bands in Columbus for 2010. "The Knot" - national wedding site (and we weren't even paying to advertise there!!!) "Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. We're big fans and it was awesome that you provided our reception music." Andrea & Zahn (bride & groom) - wedding - Reynoldsburg, OH September 2010 "Hello and thank you soooooooo much! You guys did a great job and I got alot of comments on how well you guys did.... Also, our parents and grandparents loved you guys which made me especially happy." Staci (bride) - wedding - Bascom, OH September 2010 "Thank you so much for the awesome job at our daughters wedding last night. The ballroom was dancing and rocking from the minute you started and til the last song...even had an encore for them!" Teresa (mother of the bride) - wedding - Bascom, OH September 2010 "... As I mentioned to you Saturday night, Next Exit was outstanding. You found the perfect songs and certainly kept everyone dancing. Everyone I talked to, including my critical brothers, loved the band. We could not have asked for anything better." Richard (father of the bride) - wedding - Galloway, OH September 2010 "... The band was so much fun, and we got compliments all night about how great you were! ... Thanks so much for being the perfect band for our wedding!"

You were a big part in making the evening unforgettable for many of our guests." Brittaney (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH June 2010 I'll tell you what, the website doesn't do you guys justice. You sounded amazing. Jessica & Chad (bride & groom) - wedding - Columbus, OH June 2010 Mike and I both received a lot of compliments!! You guys did a great job... I don't think I left the dance floor after the first dances. And thanks again for being so accommodating to the constant changes. Lindsay (bride) - wedding - Celina, OH May 2010 We had so much fun and I know a lot had to do with the atmosphere you set. So many people told us how much they loved "the band". We feel so lucky to have found you by just surfing the net. Thank you again! Kristen & Chris (bride & groom) - wedding - Dayton, OH October 2009 Just wanted to say thank you!!! Everyone loved you guys! You were all very professional and entertaining. Even people who don't normally dance were up there dancing! We keep getting more and more compliments on your band and we gave your contact info to some people who are planning weddings in the future. I hope to see you guys around Pittsburgh again! Thanks again, you guys couldn't have done a better job. Allison (bride) - wedding - Pittsburgh, PA October 2009 Just had to write a note to tell you guys how much we loved your music, and our guests did, too. Many asked where you were from and how to contact you, so hopefully more gigs will come from the beautiful time you provided our guests. Many thanks! Got 2 more daughters to go, so I'm sure we'll be in touch. Jennie (mother of the bride) - wedding - Pittsburgh, PA October 2009 I just wanted to personally thank you all for doing such a GREAT job at my Sept 4th wedding. You went out of your way from setting up for my ceremony as well as my reception, to the great music you played, and just 100% pure entertainment! I would recommend you to ANYONE looking for a great band....and too all brides looking for a great band for your wedding.....you can stop here and hire these guys! You WON'T regret it!!! Thanks again! Stacey (bride) - wedding - Hilliard, OH September 2009 It was the best wedding & you guys did a super job. The dance floor was full all night & you played a great variety of songs. We had family come in from Atlanta to California and they commented what a great time they had & that you kept the crowd dancing. Thank you so much for making Derek & Monique's wedding very memorable. Kathy (mother of the groom) - wedding - New Bremen, OH August 2009 We had so much fun on Saturday and you did such a great job with the ceremony and reception. Everyone really loved you guys, so thank you! I would be more than happy to be a reference. The pictures are great too! Monique (bride) - wedding - New Bremen, OH August 2009 Well, Sarah and Jeff left for their honeymoon today but they still can't stop talking (along with everyone else) of how much fun they had with you and the band! Molly came in the kitchen with the tambourine on Sunday and I asked her if she stole it from the band and she said that you guys had given Sarah and Jeff that for a remembrance gift. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!! You guys were awesome and I couldn't have asked for anything better that night!! Everyone had such a great time and I think the dance floor was covered 99.9% of the time. I'm sure you guys must have known everyone was having a great time. Again, Thank You So Much for providing not only great music but great entertainment! Pat (mother of the bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH August 2009 I can't tell you the number of people who told me how much they enjoyed the band's performance. I'm so sorry that I didn't get a chance to speak to you at the end of the evening to personally thank you for your professional approach to this event, and the excitement and fun you generated in the room. Please tell each band member how much everyone enjoyed their music and energy. I'm 54 and loved the music. My daughter and her friends are mid-twenties and they loved the music. A father of a friend of mine is in his eighties, and he loved the music. And finally, my 2 1/2 year old grandson absolutely loved it - he couldn't stop moving!!. Your band's age group demographic is quite impressive! Ron (father of the bride) - wedding - Lexington, KY June 2009 Our experience with Next Exit was one of utmost satisfaction. They were professional from start to finish and so accommodating with all of our questions and requests. We greatly appreciated their input along the way and the band truly made our daughter's wedding reception a great party. She and her husband thoroughly enjoyed the band, as did all of our friends. That's what it's all about! We would certainly recommend Next Exit for a wedding reception or any other event. Linda (mother of the bride) - wedding - Findlay, OH June 2009 I wanted to personally thank you for making our wedding an absolute blast! You guys are amazing and really know how to play to a crowd and get people dancing! We hope you had as much fun as we did and a special thank you for playing "Brown Eyed Girl" a second time!! We have gotten compliment after compliment about you and can't thank you enough for making our wedding so perfect! Leah (bride) - wedding - Minster, OH May 2009 Great job at the wedding in Dayton last weekend. I was the assistant photographer there and I have nothing but good things to say about your performance to everyone I see. A lot of bands I hear are either too loud, distorted, or one instrument seems to dominate. You guys were balanced and together the entire time. Richard (photographer) - wedding - Dayton, OH May 2009 Love the band. First time I've seen you guys play. All of you are tremendous musicians. I would have to rank you guys as one of the very best that I've seen in Columbus. Sarah - Night Club - Reynoldsburg, OH March 2009 Wedding stuff was running late, however having paid for the band to actually perform, they cut their break short and played especially well. Had a blast would highly recommend. Charlie (groom) - wedding - Cincinnati, OH October 2008 We were expecting Next Exit to be amazing after we saw them perform at a local bar but they exceeded all expectations on our wedding day. Even before they big day- they were quick to respond to e-mails and extremely accommodating. Next Exit has tons of energy and are a blast to watch. They are so talented and engaging proved by the full dance floor they had all night at our wedding. Without hesitation- I whole heartily recommend Next Exit for any special event (especially if your group likes to dance!). Abby (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH July 2008 I keep hearing from people about how much fun they had and that is thanks to you guys! Jodi (bride) - wedding - Columbus, OH July 2008 Thank you! At the risk of sounding redundant to all the great reviews on your website - you guys are great! Many of our friends and family who notoriously refuse to dance at weddings were out on the floor which is a true testament to the quality of music and performance that you guys put on. Sean, I have been impressed through this whole process at how professional and responsive you have been to questions and emails. Next Exit was always the item on my list I did not have stress out about. Thanks again! Emily and Erik (bride and groom) - wedding - Beaver Creek, OH June 2008 Thanks for the killer show you guys put on for our wedding. Also, thanks for letting me jam with you guys! Everybody had an awesome time and loved your music. Molly & Brian (bride and groom) - wedding - Piqua, OH June 2008 Thank you! At the risk of sounding redundant to all the great reviews on your website - you guys are great! Many of our friends and family who notoriously refuse to dance at weddings were out on the floor which is a true testament to the quality of music and performance that you guys put on. Sean, I have been impressed through this whole process at how professional and responsive you have been to questions and emails. Next Exit was always the item on my list I did not have stress out about. Thanks again! Emily and Erik (bride and groom) - wedding - Beaver Creek, OH June 2008 In my 15+ years of weddings you are one of the best bands I have heard. That includes all of my travels too. I have shot weddings in London, Geneva Switzerland, Monte Carlo and throughout the US. Greg Allen Photography - International wedding photographer - Fort Wayne, IN June 2008 The band was great, sounded fantastic, involved the crowd and really made the night fantastic. A great addition to our wedding! Jamie (bride) - wedding - Hilliard, OH May 2008 I can't tell you how much we and our guests enjoyed the music. You guys did a phenomenal job. Between the two of us, we had probably 20-30 people come up to us and tell us how good you guys were and how awesome it was to have a live band at our wedding. Kelly (bride) - wedding - Columbiana, OH May 2008 I have been in charge of our Company Christmas celebration for the last 5 years. I would have to say that this is the first time that I did not have to stress about the band. They were very professional and worked with us to make this a very big success. I have had nothing but great responses from everyone that attended. Great job Next Exit. Sharlene - Corporate Party - Clarksburg, WV December 2007 Next Exit is full of energy and they know how to get a crowd dancing! They are a blast and we didn't want them to stop playing. We could have partied all night with them. We couldn't have chosen a better band for our wedding and would definitely hire them again for another event! Sandy (bride) - wedding - Fort Loramie, OH December 2007 Great band & highly entertaining. Located in Ohio, but came all the way up to the castle for us. Knows how to work the crowd & Highly recommended Natalie & Torrey (bride & groom) - wedding - Charlevoix, MI August 2007 The band did a superb job. Many at the wedding reception asked about the band and said how good the group sounded. We have been to many weddings over the years and several this summer. Next Exit is about as good as it gets. They kept the reception lively and interacted well with the crowd. They were so good that a number of our non-dancing friends were on the dance floor for a while. Our club management was very impressed and may well ask them to come back for a club-sponsored affair. Also, they were very easy to work with and extremely polite and polished. The song list was super. I would hire them again in a minute. Hal (father of the bride) - wedding - Springboro, OH July 2007 Next Exit really does rock! We had an enormous client appreciation party with over 900 guests and I'm still receiving rave reviews! Additionally, they were extremely professional and provided a contract immediately upon agreement of terms, and communicated continually with me during the planning process. All I can ask is that if you plan to hire them, save dates for us as we will be using them as much as possible! Latonna - Corporate Event - Lexington, KY July 2006, January 2007, June 2007 Next Exit was fabulous. They were great emcees and excellent performers. We had so many comments from our wedding guests as to how good they were. We couldn't have been happier with any other band. They were also willing to work with our budget. That meant a lot to us. We want to book them all over again! Erin (bride) - wedding - Monroe, MI June 2007 Next Exit was excellent! We hired them without ever hearing or seeing them in person. We were not disappointed. Sean was very easy to work with and extremely organized, I think maybe even more organized than I was! We had around 170 guests at our wedding, a lot of them from Chicago, and I think all of them wanted to know how and where we found such a great band. Everyone was out on the dance floor and seemed to have a really great time. It's almost worth having another wedding just to have them come play again. We can't rave about them enough. Andrea (bride) - wedding - Fort Wayne, IN June 2007 We were so thrilled with Next Exit's performance. People have been calling and asking where we found them and how they can contact them for upcoming events. They were fun, personable, professional, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. They helped make our wedding exactly what we had dreamed. Amanda (bride) - wedding - South Charleston, OH October 2006 |
