Weddings
Recently profiled on theknot.com
So… you’re getting married. This is HAPPENING! Congrats! You and those helping plan for the big day are probably investing a ton of time, energy and cash into making your wedding unforgettable. Ceremony, venue, itinerary, decoration, outfits, speeches, food, drink, THE dress and… a D.J.?
Really? A D.J.? Kinda screams “typical,” don’t you think? Wouldn’t you rather have a fun, energetic, unforgettably unorthodox rock’n'roll cover band knock the socks off those supporting you in this important commitment you’re making to your spouse on your wedding day? We’re that band.
One very important thing to understand about us is that being a “fun, energetic, unforgettably unorthodox rock’n'roll cover band” pretty much precludes us from being your typical wedding band. Let me say that again: we’re not your typical wedding band. We honestly have no interest in being a “typical wedding band” with a predictable wedding song list. If this means we play fewer weddings, we’re cool with that. We aim to play the right weddings. The FUN weddings! Everyone in this band really enjoys what we do on a fundamental level. We love the songs we choose to play. We jump. We sweat. We illogically expend far more energy than necessary. Grandma might think we’re a bit loud, but we have a hell of a lot of fun doing this and it’s absolutely infectious to anyone watching. Including your family and friends.
“How do I know if you’re the right band for my wedding?”
Log in to Facebook to check out an album of wedding photos and make sure to head over to our video page if you haven’t yet caught our live show. Also, take a peek at our song list to find out if we’re a good fit for what you’re after. If you’re still not sure, it might be good to come out to one of our upcoming shows to get the full idea of who we are and what we’re all about.
“What about the ceremony?”
We realize what a pain it is to organize music for a reception as well as a ceremony. Don’t worry, you’re covered. We’re just as experienced serenading the situation with acoustic songs during ceremonies as we are at rocking out receptions. We’re a bit more flexible when it comes to ceremony songs and work closely with couples to choose these. Just don’t ask us to learn Sergovia. We’re honestly not that good. 
Here are some examples of our acoustic stuff: Hall & Oates – Making my dreams come true | Gavin DeGraw – More than anyone| Tom Petty – Free Falling (performing on Good Day Wisconsin) | Train – Hey, soul sister | Leonard Cohen / Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (performing on Good Day Wisconsin)
“Got any references?”
Yup. Check ‘em out below. We can provide their email addresses/phone numbers upon request.

We live in New York City so we anticipated a challenge planning for a Minneapolis wedding. Our search for a band was focused on “non-traditional” wedding bands: bands you’d typically find in a bar that can really rock. We quickly found Flashmob online and from the beginning were impressed by band’s responsiveness and willingness to work with us planning the event. Early in the process we spent about 30 minutes on the phone with the band explaining what we were looking for and what types of music we wanted them to play.
Over the following months we worked closely with the band to create a custom play list: the band even learned a few songs for the party and also learned two acoustic songs for the ceremony. While creating the song list the band was extremely helpful in providing feedback as to what songs they thought would work best. They also suggested adding a few new songs along the way.At the wedding the band worked hard to get everybody involved and they totally succeeded: from the first song through the last song, our guests danced nonstop and everybody was asking “who is this band!?” Overall we could not be happier with Flashmob and how they rocked our wedding!Thanks,Annie and Bryan

Matt and I want to thank you for rocking our wedding at the Fine Line! We will never forget the moment you all took the staged and killed it with that Black Keys song!! See you soon!! Xoxo
You are the best! Thank you so much for performing at our daughters wedding last Friday at the Fine Line. You made Matt and Erin so happy and made some wonderful memories for them. So many of our guests asked about you. Everyone loved you. Thank you again so very much. We love the photo booth pic. Good Luck to you all!-Ernest and Cathy (parents of the bride).

We selected some of the guys from FlashMob to play during the ceremony at our destination wedding in Florida after seeing them play several different shows in Minneapolis. FlashMob was clearly the best choice going in, and we were blown away by their performance. The FM guys contributed a great, unplugged vibe to our ceremony. We spoke with the band members several times during the planning of our wedding. Their energy and excitement around the ceremony was appreciated. They were entirely responsive and willing to make my day and the ceremony perfect. They even learned a couple new songs for me. As further testimony, my wedding consultant who didn’t even attend the wedding heard about their performance and wanted to know if she could work with the band in booking more weddings.Ashley and Brad

My wife & I hired the lead singer and lead guitarist of FlashMob! to play a very special song for us at our wedding ceremony – Today – by Joshua Radin. We had an embarrassingly large Catholic wedding, and as usual, FlashMob! knocked it out of the park with an amazingly touching and beautifully played rendition of the song in front of 300+ guests. FlashMob! was professional, flexible and very fun to work with in the chaos of the wedding planning and day.As for performance quality at live shows, we’ve seen FlashMob! play quite a bit and can say they are talented, versatile, fun and engaging! Playing a diverse mix of current favorites and rock and pop classics, they are a blast to see live. They perform with purpose – with the goal to get everyone out on the dance floor and tear it up. We could not give a stronger endorsement of FlashMob! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Good luck and enjoy the wedding ride!
Best regards,
Sean & Anne

We do special events too:
FlashMob was a hit at the first annual Rock Cancer event held in Little Chute, WI. We had six bands play throughout the day with FlashMob as our headliner. They were the only band at our event that wasn’t from the area, and we were a little concerned that people would leave after the local band that played just before. People stayed and FlashMob exceeded everyone’s expectations. Excellent musicians and vocalist, they are very energetic on stage and get the crowd involved. They play a great mix of music from 70′s rock to today’s music that will have the crowd dancing and singing along with every song. We asked that they learn a particular song for our benefit (Train’s “Calling all Angels”) and they nailed it, had people in tears. I would absolutely hire them again, in fact I did, for Rock Cancer 2010. —- Jim Spierings, President, Spierings Cancer Foundation
