[...] As soon as we confirmed our wedding venue, 12th Avenue was the very next vendor email I sent. From there, the planning process with them was so enjoyable - they were responsive, organized, and most importantly they were genuinely interested in our love story and the vibes that we wanted to portray on our special day. On our wedding day, 12th Avenue performed the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and first dances, complete with keyboard, guitar, bass, and vocals. I can’t overstate how special it was to have them there throughout our day. Their music is touchingly beautiful and made each moment - walking down the aisle, our first dances - that much more special. We had asked for a few specific songs to be played and then gave general ideas for the type of music for the rest of the time, and they played music that was spot on for the vibes we were looking for. Overall, having 12th Avenue perform at our wedding made it that much more special and intimate, and we could not recommend them more highly to liven up any event.

Had the most amazing experience, Veneshaw was incredibly timely with every reply, on top of every email and was very amenable to every request, she even met me in person to coordinate the logistics in person at a moment's notice. The entertainment provided was above and beyond what was promised and all of our guests were blown away. Thank you so much for everything!!!

We hired 12th Avenue for our wedding, and I wish we could do it all over again!! They are talented, sound fantastic, and truly know how to create the perfect vibe. They have an extensive repertoire, were incredibly easy to work with, super organized, collaborative, and learned the new songs we requested to absolute perfection. Most importantly, they connected with our guests and matched their energy the entire evening. Our guests are still talking about Veneshaw's voice!

We heard 12th Avenue perform for the first time at a restaurant during a trip to Anguilla a year before our wedding. It only took about 15 minutes of hearing Veneshaw's beautiful voice before realizing we needed them to perform at our wedding. While in the middle of dinner, both my dad and my husband's dad demanded that we "go and get their card for your wedding right now!" We are so glad that we did, because in June 2024 12th Avenue performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour at Malliouhana and contributed to the most beautiful day. I will never forget walking back down the aisle with my new husband to them performing "Just the Two of Us." 12th Avenue was incredibly easy to work with - they were responsive and professional throughout the process. But what makes them really stand out is how much they care about you as a couple and how much time they put in to making sure they execute on your vision. It did not at all seem like our wedding was "just another job" for them - they so evidently put their hearts and souls into the day, and you could feel it through their music. Words cannot express how much I recommend hiring 12th Avenue for your special event, it will be the best decision you make! We can't thank them enough for being a part of our wedding day.

We hired 12th Avenue to play our wedding and had an absolutely amazing time. The entire band made us feel like family on our wedding day. V is truly a ball of energy and so talented, her voice is dynamic and engaging. She was out on the dance floor, hyping up the crowd and dancing. 12th Avenue really knows how to tailor the songs to the group and play a wide and fun range. If you are looking for a band for your wedding or event, we highly recommend 12th Avenue.
