The Chicken Slacks

Several guests came up to me at my wedding and remarked "I'm not even drinking and I'm having more fun dancing than I ever have". If this testament to the fun the Chicken Slacks bring to weddings doesn't sell you on the importance of having a phenomenal band at your wedding, their professionalism will. Jeremy and Curtis worked closely with my husband and I to make sure our reception was a party to remember. All our love, Sarah and Devon

The Chicken Slacks were the first decision we made when planning our wedding - we knew above all else they HAD to be our wedding band. My husband and I frequented The Cantab through college, where we'd come to see The Chicken Slacks on Thursday nights, and we always left with a memorable impression of what a great night it was. Throughout the entire planning process, from initial outreach, to our meeting with Jeremy, to our wedding day - The Chicken Slacks were professional, helpful in guiding us through song choices (which made my life SO much easier!) and were such fun to work with. Our wedding guests were raving about the band, we have everyone on the dance floor because the music appealed to all ages - it was an awesome feeling to have that! We truly believe The Chicken Slacks were was took our wedding from "great" to "the best wedding we've been to"! Jeremy, Curtis and everyone else - Thank you guys SO much for making our wedding night a BLAST!!!

The Chicken Slacks absolutely made our wedding. We had a non-traditional wedding set up in that we eloped and had a party at our family farm a month later, for which we hired the Chicken Slacks. Despite it being an extremely hot summer night, 100% of the guests were dancing until the final song. They were a total crowd pleaser for both young and old; their energy is totally amazing. A year and a half later, we still have people commenting to us about what an amazing night they had at our party "because of that awesome band." They were the best decision that we made in the whole party planning process, and I would recommend them to anyone.

We could not have been happier with our decision to hire the Chicken Slacks for our wedding! They were incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work with leading up to our big day, and their performance definitely exceeded our expectations. We loved that they are not a traditional wedding band and their music appealed to all our guests, young and old. The band was one of the most complimented parts of our wedding – several of our guests asked where they could buy CDs and are planning to make trips to Boston just to see the Chicken Slacks perform! We can’t recommend them enough.

Before we booked anything else for our wedding, we booked the Chicken Slacks. We’d seen them a few times at the Cantab and knew they would put on an amazing party. Leading up to the wedding, they were highly professional and communicative, and raised several issues that we hadn’t thought of, so we could troubleshoot in advance. They also worked closely with our caterer and other vendors so that we didn’t have to direct them day-of, which was great, because we didn’t have a planner. At the wedding itself, they were unbelievable. EVERYONE was on the dance floor from the first song to the encore. Most people when they talk about our wedding now reference how great the band was. We would highly recommend the Chicken Slacks for your wedding/party/whatever. You are guaranteed to have an amazing time.

You guys were positively flawless. A dream to work with, so flexible on the day (we were anxious about our timeline changing up so much and you were so reassuring and supportive). And obviously you made our wedding a celebration. It was important to us that everyone love the music; we wanted it classic, irresistable, and intergenerational. Personally, I’ve never been to a wedding before where everyone (literally!) got up and danced between salad and dinner!!! When it was still light out!!! We were amazed and delighted. You guys WERE irresistable. Thank you for making everyone’s night.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. For me, there were two important aspects in planning the wedding, the drinks and the music. If there is one thing that all our guests commented on, it was how great the band was. Simply put, you guys were professional, polished, personable, a boatload of fun, and you just rocked! There was so much going on that day and Jeremy I can't tell you how much easier it made it for us that you were able to keep the night moving with the formalities, announce everything, and adjust on the fly. Every member was really "on key" that night and all of you brought such an energy that the entire crowd was swept up in the energy. I saw people getting down who I would never imagine dancing in most settings. Because you guys bring so much energy, the music is fun, and you guys are clearly all having a great time, all the guests feel free to cut loose. It was great that a band of your talent level and energy was willing to play our little wedding. The personalization was also really really nice. The shout outs from Jeremy (loved the encore shout!!!!) and Sweet-T, really made it feel like you guys were just there for a paycheck, but also that you were having a great time as well. I want to say the sound guy did a great job as well. We thought it sounded better than the Cantab, with each instrument being much more distinct and at the same time, the overall volume level wasn't too loud (often a problem with live bands in smaller settings). He also did a great job getting music going between sets. We could not have been happier with the decision to have you guys; we thought the whole night was just a huge huge success and are looking forward to reliving it back at the Cantab. Thank you again and look forward to seeing

The Chicken Slacks MADE our big day! They got everyone dancing, including my father, who I don't think has danced at a wedding since his own in 1976. :-) We have received so much positive feedback from our guests-- many commented that it was the best dance party they had been to in years. We had so much fun with the Slacks!! Not only that, I can confidently say that they were by far the easiest, most flexible, and most understanding vendor we worked with. They went out of their way to arrange for a sound system and keyboard for my uncle, who played at our ceremony. Indeed, when we thought we might have to rent a keyboard, they even offered to pick it up for us (instead they ended up providing their own personal keyboard for our use!). Curtis was incredibly gracious and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding and Jeremy was a wonderfully calming and joyful presence on the day of-- a very valuable skill set for calming jittery brides. I cannot go on enough about how terrific the Chicken Slacks were. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them! If only we lived in Cambridge and could go see them at their regular gig at the Cantab Lounge. ;-)
