The Toast reviews

"The BEST vendor we worked with! Seriously, stop hunting for a band and book The Toast RIGHT NOW. Easily the best vendor we worked with during the entire wedding process. Not only are they a great band, Andrew is a pleasure to work with. He’s punctual with his communication, organized, and really takes the time to learn what his couples are all about. We had 100% trust from our very first inquiry, which continued through the end of the reception. This cannot be emphasized enough when planning a wedding! The ease of communication, the trust, and the expertise makes all the difference in your vendors! Andrew was willing to work with us on all of our ideas for the reception, knew how to roll with the unpredictabilities that happen with every wedding day, and handled all the logistical items necessary for the band directly with our reception venue. Therefore, the biggest thing we had to worry about regarding the band was picking the song for our first dance. Not only was Andrew and team the best of our vendors to work with, the MUSIC and PARTY they led was amazing. We received so many compliments at the end of the night, many from our friends and family who are musicians themselves. The Toast has a set list that is very classic - everyone at the reception will know and want to dance to these songs! They kept the dance floor full and guests entertained ALL night long. Thank you to The Toast for your exceptional service and for making our wedding reception a party to be remembered."

"Andrew and The Toast were PHENOMENAL! Andrew responded to our initial inquiry on the same day, and had a contract ready for us to sign within 24 hours. We had multiple meetings with Andrew, hashing out all the details of the night. Having Andrew MC was integral to the flow of the night. Each of the members has INCREDIBLE talent - they are world class musicians that have years of experience in the music industry, gigging, touring, and recording all across the nation. The Toast is worth every penny! My wife and I didn’t have a single conversation with our 150+ guests that didn’t include the phrase, “WOW - where did you find this band, they are AMAZING!” They had people out on the dance floor that more often than not refuse to dance."

"Andrew was consistently professional, timely, and overall amazing to work with. We received endless compliments on the band’s sound and it is thanks to Andrew and his amazing ensemble that our wedding had the electric atmosphere that it did. We cannot thank The Toast enough for how wonderful they were to work with."

"We could not have asked for a better band to perform on our wedding day!! The Toast absolutely killed it and Andrew was a pleasure to work with during the planning process. We had seen a lot of the musicians of this band perform around the Lincoln and Omaha area and they are all extremely talented and successful. The first time we saw them play together at the Zoo Bar in Lincoln, we knew they were the only right choice. The chemistry between the band was great and the dance floor was packed from start to finish. I had so many of our friends and family tell me this was by far the best band they had ever seen at a wedding. If you can’t decide on which band to pick, THIS IS THE ONE. We can’t wait to rock out with them again soon. Seriously phenomenal."

"Andrew and his violinist were great! The ceremony performance went off without a hitch and the music was beautifully played! Highly recommend if you are looking for instrumentals for your wedding!"

"I keep telling people the only regret of my wedding day was that I could not have danced to The Toast for another 8 hours. Trust me when I say, you’ve found the band that will take your reception to the next level and keep the dance floor popping all night long. Andrew was so easy to work with — responsive, responsible and so accommodating to our ideas for the music. These are professional musicians that care about delivering music that will blow you and your guests away — so many people have complimented them in the weeks since our wedding, some have even said they felt like they were at a concert!"

"Wow, you will not regret hiring the toast! We, last minute, chose to hire a band. The process we experienced was exceptional. My first interaction was directly with the owner, who asked about our vision and broke down all the “unknowns” over a phone call. After that conversation, an assistant keeps in contact with you. Ours happened to be one of the musicians on the night of (not sure if its always like that). Very responsive and really organized. I sent many emails updating information, and they were on top of it (shout out to Alex!). Also, I had a very tight music list I was okay with (Christian), and a lot of those songs were not on their websites list. They really do take requests of songs, and the band made it sound like it was their personal favorites/always played. The band truly enjoyed the art, and you could tell they were having fun! Also, one of the band members had an emergency (a unexpected death, so a legitimate reason) hours before our wedding. They subbed in another band member, and you could not tell the difference. Our venue had a lot of sound bouncing issues, that they came early and set up beautifully so that it wasn’t noticed at all. They know their trade. Also, they are so receptive to the crowd’s response, and will tailor the music accordingly. It truly was worth every penny, and forever grateful to them. Also - to note - people from our wedding who weren’t able to dance told us it was like a concert for them and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only regret was not being able to thank them in person more, as it meant so much to us (but being a bride/groom keeps you busy!! haha)."

"Wow, what can we say? Andrew + The Toast made our wedding night INCREDIBLE. We had the jazz quartet play during our cocktail hour and they incorporated Christmas music for our December wedding. During the reception, Andrew MC’d throughout and the band kept guests on the dance floor all night long! If you’re thinking of adding the horns, just do it. The Toast was easily the best money we spent for our wedding and truly made our night. Leading up to the wedding Andrew made the planning portion a breeze and went to visit our reception venue to view the space, going above and beyond what we expected. We can’t recommend them enough!"
