Who?
The Chuck Taylors is a professional wedding band in Cincinnati.
If the number of weddings we've played means anything, it's that we're experts.
As 'experts' we know no two weddings are alike.
One thing that is always alike, though, is the joy of people dancing, singing, smiling, and celebrating.
That's why started playing music in the first place.
Why?
The Chuck Taylors have one goal: to make your party something you, your family, and friends will talk about for years.
Non-stop music and no band breaks makes us different from other bands. But what guests remember most is how we connect with them, how we bond. We celebrate right along with you.
The most important thing we've learned in 20 years of weddings is that it's all about you.
What?
A rare combination of skilled musicianship with high level of entertainment and engagement.
We create lifelong memories with you.
Yours is a once in a lifetime celebration. We treat it that way.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Whistleblower
GREG
Don't get scammed by a "franchise type" of band. There is too much at stake.
They aren't who they appear to be (or sound to be).
A growing trend in the music business that is causing a lot of mistrust is the deceptive and risky practice of a 'bait and switch' wedding band. Yes, it is a 'thing'. Here is how it works.
An talent agency starts by creating a band name. They stage a photoshoot with models holding musical instruments. They hire musicians to professionally record demos. They hire website designers along with a promotion staff. The site containing the promo material goes live. Voila`, a new band has been created.
Meanwhile, the agent creates a data base of musicians, a pool of players. The preferred demographic, but not always, for this database is young musicians, students, those who might be willing to work for less money.
So, you search for a band online and the ''fake' band is listed at the top of the page, which is what large advertising budgets can do for a product. The band looks and sounds amazing. There is even a disclaimer that reads 'save thousands by booking direct'. Who wouldn't be impressed? Sign me up! You book them under the impression you are hiring the people that you see and hear. Well, you won't be getting them at your event.
After a client requests information, the agent sends out a message to the data base asking 'who is available' and 'who wants the job'? The first one to respond gets hired. The musicians are instructed to not mention any of this at your event. In fact, they are instructed not to introduce themselves to each other in front of clients or staff. It is often times the first time they have met, meeting for the first time, just minutes prior to your once in a lifetime event.
With The Chuck Taylors, on the other hand, who you see here is who you get. You don't get website models (obviously). You get friends who have played together for nearly 20 years who have developed chemistry, not to mention the polished presentation that only comes with experience of thousands of performances.
Our website videos and songs were recorded live. You are hearing the exact musicians who you will be hiring as opposed to some other wedding bands who hire 'studio musicians' for their videos and demos. We do not use 'studio trickery' or enhanced instrument tracks of any kind.

"They are the best."
When I am asked for a live wedding band reference by a Bride and Groom I always tell them, The Chuck Taylor Band is the only wedding band in the tristate area that sells out every Friday and Saturday. NEED I SAY MORE!?"
That said if you are wanting a live wedding band that is high energy and keeps the party hopping, look no further. They are the best." - Jeff Thomas, owner of Jeff Thomas Catering
