They were totally awesome! Our friends were so impressed and we received so many compliments about the band. Most importantly though, they helped us have a great time (the highlight was seeing my husband stage-dive). The kids enjoyed the being part of the performance. They also learned two song requests of ours perfectly for our wedding.

JumpStart was simply amazing! This was the first time I have ever booked a band and was a little nervous about doing so over the internet. My fears were quickly reduced by this band's professionalism and then when their wonderful music started. They kept our guests on their feet dancing the entire night and helped to make our fundraiser a huge success. I received so many positive comments from other committee members that I do not hesitate to recommend them for any event. We will definitely use them again next year. Loved the music!

Jumpstart completely exceeded my expectations. The songs they play keep people dancing and they interact with the crowd including them on stage. I had nothing but positive feedback from my guests and I would hire Jumpstart for any event. From the minute I started the process until the end of my event it was seamless. The best cover band out there and I will use them again without even looking further.

FANTASTIC! The most accommodating, cheerful, fun, enthusiastic, professional, entertaining band we have ever hired. They did not put on a concert for us, but rather engaged the entire group of 300+ in an evening of sheer enjoyment, laughter, entertainment, and fantastic, danceable music. They played to a very diverse demographic group and successfully entertained everyone. I heard nothing but rave reviews for a week after our event. Current, hip, classic -- you get it all with this band. We will be hiring JumpStart for our next event and have already been asked by our event venue personnel to pass on JumpStart's information to them for New Year's Eve.

Jumpstart was awesome and they really made the whole reception! They are truly great performers and extemely talented. They had such a great mix of music (something for all ages) and everyone told me how much fun they had dancing. Almost the entire wedding was on the dance floor which include my 85 year old great aunt :) Thank you so much!

I hired this band because my conference attendees were looking for a band that could do all sorts of music, but mostly 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000 rock. Everywhere I read great reviews about JumpStart and I agree with all of those reviews. This band has amazing vocal talent and they were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this band to anyone looking for a great pop/rock band.

These guys totally rock! Other vendors in the Tahoe area generally are flaky, incompetent, and overpriced. But not JumpStart - these guys are pros and it shows. The music was fun, high-energy, and kept our wedding crowd on the dance floor all night. If we could give 6 stars, we would. Hire them for your wedding and you won't be disappointed!

Jumpstart was fantastic. More than one person told me my wedding was the best they had ever attended because of this band.

Had a great time. They sound great and do a good job of getting the crowd involved. They were hands down the highlight of our event.

Hats off to your performance Friday night. This was the first times in years that we can remember having to tell people the event was over and that the dancing had to come to a stop. We think the partiers would have stayed all night if allowed.

As Mom & Dad of the bride, we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed your performance at our daughter's wedding at the Painted Rock in Squaw Valley on September 8th. It has been 3 weeks, and people are STILL talking about how much fun they had. It wasn't a reception - it was a party! Your sound is great, you really involved the crowd and had everyone dancing!! And quite a few of us (parents included) "performed" onstage. I know that "Mick" enjoyed "moving like Jagger" and we loved watching him. You really made us feel welcome and from the looks of the many, many pictures we took, it looked like you enjoyed it also. People who have seen the pictures and couldn't attend are now sorry that they missed the party. It's obvious how much fun everyone had. Quite a few attendees commented that they had never been to a more fun wedding - and we know that the main reason was your band. So, thanks again, for making a memorable day extremely memorable!!! I know we'll be talking about this for years to come!

We had an outrageously great time with Jumpstart at our wedding in July 2010! Not only was the band extremely accommodating to our needs and requests, they can really rock!! All of our guests gave us great reviews of the band and the venue staff did, too!! The only negative thing is that we live in Cleveland, and we may never get a chance to see them play again!

JumpStart was terrific from the get-go. They were communicative and gave me confidence that it was going to be great. They said, more than once, don't worry, we will take care of the music. When you are working with someone you have never worked with before, you tend to be a little nervous. I received many comments "they were the best band we have had". We will use them again. Besides all of the above, they were fun. Good time was had by all! Thank you.

JumpStart added so much to our wedding ceremony and reception. They are an amazing collaboration of extremely talented, great spirited, non-attitude band members. They knew exactly what to play to fit the festive mood of our event! Literally, every song they played had people running to pack the dance floor. I am 100% satisfied with their performance. They are worth every penny and then some. They even played for the ceremony which was an added bonus. Everyone was so touched by their rich and soulful voices. Stan did an excellent job at MC- ing the event as well. He is a charismatic speaker and knows how to organize and time things well. This was a great asset to the evening. Added bonuses included a lot of audience participation such as having the bridesmaids jump on stage and play tambourines and sing, a solo song they let me sing with them, and letting my dad play harmonica and sing a blues tune! What fun. I highly recommend this band if you want a truly magical experience that great music can deliver. I recently attended two other receptions. One had a DJ. It was good but did not have the excitement or personal touch that LIVE entertainment delivers, especially GREAT live entertainment like JumpStart!! The other reception didn't have music at all. It was very mellow. All there was to do was talk for hours and eat. The right music and dancing adds so much more!  They are truly awesome!! I will book them with out a doubt again any chance I get!

Great band with a great playlist. Very upbeat and kept the dance floor packed from the minute they began playing. I highly recommend JumpStart for any event. You won't be disappointed.

JumpStart absolutely ROCKED at our wedding reception (Very professional). The good energy they created was infectious. They had the dance floor packed all night. We would refer this band to anyone looking for an awsome time.

JumpStart kept everyone dancing all night at our wedding! We have received so many compliments on how great they were. Our dance floor was like a sauna, I just couldn't believe that everyone kept dancing considering how hot it was, but JumpStart kept them going! They were a really fun, entertaining band, they love getting the bridal party up on stage and really play to the crowd. They weren't always the most responsive during the wedding planning process, but they really brought it the day of our wedding!

Thanks again for a wonderful show! You guys did a great job and picked out perfect songs to keep the folks there and dancing. I have never seen so many people stay that late with this group. I am looking forward to working with you guys again with our other groups.

Simply awesome. Easy to work with, accommodating, great energy and talent, and music selection was on the money. The only other thing we can say is - were we to hire a band in the future for this type of event, Jumpstart is the only choice. Everyone at the party (100+) raved about them.

Wow...Jumpstart really delivered!! They were exactly what our convention needed. I can't tell you how many members complimented me on their performance. They kept the audience involved and dancing the whole night. Jumpstart also did a great job connecting with our 1960's theme. Every band member was dressed in costume which added to the overall effect. I was also very impressed with the talent all the members brought to the stage. Many of the cover songs they did rivaled the originals. I would definitely recommend Jumpstart for any event.

JumpStart was amazing at my wedding. Their attention to all our little details really made our party special, not to mention that all their individual talent is amazing! Their new female vocalist has an amazing voice. I was so lucky to be able to hire them! With their blow up plastic guitars for the audience, incorporating my guests, and keeping the party going...we had so much fun. Thank you thank you thank you! We didn't have to worry about a thing, such professionals!

​JumpStart most certainly deserves their reputation as the best event band in the Sacramento area. Their whole operation is well practiced, extremely professional and very easy to plan with. Stan, their organizer, was very understanding and helpful in the months before our wedding and delivered on everything he promised on our big day. The energy in their act was infectious and genuine and their music was perfect for our crowd, so much so that the only two places people went during our reception were the bar and the dance floor. They produced the best performance I've ever witnessed at a public event, let alone a wedding, and I give them my highest recommendation to anyone who is lucky enough to book them.

​They were great from start to finish!! We had a very unique venue to work with, and they were more than accommodating to make sure everything went off without a hitch! They played songs that were requested, as well as the classic party songs, and kept the party going well into the early morning hours, and with the wide range of age groups we had there, it was hard to do! They were professionals, and you could tell that they really enjoyed what they did, which is always nice to see. I will definitely use them again at our next company party, hands down! Thanks for a great night JumpStart!!

We hosted a wedding at Edgewood Club, South lake Tahoe NV. We had guests from the California Coast, Mid West and the East Coast. To a person all our guests said this band was THE BEST they had ever experienced at a wedding venue. The bride and I felt that JUMPSTART could not have been easier to work with. Stan Freeman, Amy and Tiffany were 100% accommodating, friendly, helpful and professional. Our music started a little later than we expected because of the Edgewood Club, but once the band started THEY NEVER STOPPED for 2-3 hours. From the very first song the dance floor stayed packed. Everyone had a blast including the band members. We could not have been happier.

From start of the planning process to the end of the show, JumpStart was amazing! Made our wedding the best party ever. A little more expensive than some of our other options, but worth every penny and then some!

JumpStart made our party so much fun! They are high energy, have a great playlist and sound incredible! They are so talented and everyone had the time of their life. I can't thank the band enough for not only being professional and easy to work with, but amazing performers! I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to everyone! If you want everyone at your event to have fun, hire JumpStart!

The band was great and a lot of fun. The families enjoyed the music and kids got up to dance, play the blow-up guitars, and join the band on stage. Jumpstart was easy to work with, showed up on time, were professional and provided a great sound system, lighting, playlist and fun evening for all.

Jumpstart completely rocked my wedding reception. Stan was the emcee during the reception and he was absolutely amazing, he had the crowd engaged and laughing the entire time. The band was able to go with the flow so well, and had the dance floor packed by the end of the night. They did an amazing job, they were definitely worth the money. Book them, I promise you won't be sorry.
