What people who have Wedding Banned play their Wedding say:
Lary Grimaldi: This is easy. BEST. WEDDING. EVER. We will relive it at every street fest we can get to.
Michelle Lauer: Wedding Banned has such a wild reputation; we had only seen their club show. They did exactly what we wanted, a “G” rated show until the kids left, lol. Hire them, it was the highlight of the night!
Review of Andersonvillle Midsommar Fest 2010: "There were over 50 different performances throughout the weekend, so it was difficult to catch all of them. However, one band stood out among the rest of the crowd: Wedding Banned. The highlight of the concert was front man and lead singer Mayor Manaconda, who regularly takes swigs from a bottle of Jack Daniels between songs and never passes up an opportunity to remind the crowd how drunk he is. He knows how to make the audience laugh, and his antics ensure that everyone in the crowd is having fun watching the band. Manaconda’s monologues between each song give the band a memorable personality. "

“One of their goals was to play some of the major clubs in the Chicagoland area; they have now played and sold out all of these clubs. It is a fantastic accomplishment to have 1,000 people come to see them play. They started with a free show and are now one of the largest drawing cover bands in the area."
- Courtenay Stewart, Bar Life Magazine (Jun 24, 2010)
"Wedding Banned got their start 5 years ago. They wanted to create an interactive show that would constantly evolve. The characters, bride and groom, and songs change with every show. They played their first show for free at the Pontiac Café (now known as the Big Star in Wicker Park.) Although they had never played, word of mouth resulted in a capacity crowd. After one show they were signed by Duff Entertainment and a month later they performed at the biggest fest in the city, Retro on Roscoe. They have played Retro on Roscoe every year since, moving from openers to headliners.”
