  • "You guys are so much more than a cover band. You sound like the original artists performing their songs live. You guys are phenomenal! You've given me a reason to go out and see live bands again for the first time in 20 years."
    John 'Skinny' Regan, bass player for Peter Frampton, Rolling Stones, Ace Frehley, David Bowie, and father of the groom

  • "You guys are fantastic! I have to say the best and most fun wedding band I ever heard. I am not a big fan of bands at weddings, I have now changed my mind. I would definitely recommend you to any of my clients, friends or family members who want a fun and professional band for their wedding or special event."

  • "The Bill's Toupee Band is the best club or wedding band I've ever heard!"
    Brent A. Caster, Food and Beverage manager, Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel

  • "Bill's Toupee is the perfect wedding band!"
    Alan of Allyn's Restaurant , Millbrook , NY

As our many friends and clients have said to us over the years-- with a name like THAT, you'd better be good! There is no one named 'Bill' in the band. No one wears a toupee. But we all have bills to pay.

Dear Mike:
The Bill's Toupee Band was a great hit at our daughter's wedding reception. You really understood what moved our crowd and you gave it to them. I am delighted that you could adapt your play list so quickly to keep everyone on the dance floor.

Desaree is wonderful. Her interpersonal skills make her such an asset. She set the pace of the reception and moved us smoothly from introductions, first dance, toasts, through all the events to last dance!

We had so much fun on the last dance, Sweet Caroline. You even slowed the tempo of the chorus so that the gang on the dance floor could sing along (in their own fashion of grunts and hoots)! Everyone was having so much fun, and that says a lot because during the entire reception the dancing group ranged from 12 years of age to 80 plus years!

Doing business with you has been a real pleasure. I appreciate I did not have to do any "hand holding" either before or during the reception. You always knew what was needed and never bothered me with the details! The experience and professionalism of Desaree and The Bill's Toupee Band made my role as mother of the bride so much easier. I was free to enjoy the party!
Thank you so much.
Best Regards, Carolyn Roche, June 1, 2008, West Point Officer's Club

Band - Bill's Toupee Band - A+++.
They rock. They learn new songs if you need them to. They get the guests up and dancing. Their work is quite tasteful and not cheesy at all! Exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend them as well.

Definitely one of the best decisions we made!!! They were absolutely fantastic, and totally flexible. Everyone was dancing, and they weren't too loud during dinner, which was important to us (we wanted there to be background music, but nothing overpowering conversation). All in all, they were perfect, and we'll use them again for any of our big parties in the future!!

4 hours was plenty! They took requests and they learned a song for us. We have continued to get compliments on the selection of using them. They are great to work with. I highly recommend them.
