"Having Alex to play solo trumpet at my wedding ceremony in Ontario was one of the best decisions we made. The moment his beautiful trumpet sound filled the space on September 13th was absolutely unforgettable. It created the perfect, classic atmosphere we had always dreamed of. Beyond his incredible talent, Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, communicative, and completely took the stress out of our music planning. We received so many compliments from our guests and couldn't have been happier."
— Lisa Sommers, Bride

Great vibes for a casual wedding
We hired Peter and the Sidewalk Crusaders for our casual wedding reception in July 2025 and they were a hit with all of the guests! Not only was Peter easy to communicate and plan with, but the whole band were super positive and a great addition to our celebration. We had them play a few sets, both as background music during appetizers and also as dance music after dinner. The band really elevated the celebratory and fun nature of the party and played a lot of upbeat songs. We would definitely hire Peter and the band again in the future!

Dennis has had a very successful contract leading the jazz trio. They have consistently been well received
by our guests and been a positive part of our entertainment program. In the future I would suggest that
Dennis work on his comfort on the microphone and his on stage interactions with the guests. I thank you
for a great contract and would be happy to work with you again in the future.

I've listened to all the videos of Highway 48 Band and liked all of them.
The music, the songs put me in a nice relaxation mood after my busy day.
I enjoyed listening to all the old-time songs and I was slowly dancing for them in my apartment. And was imagining that the band is around me and playing just for me.
I've had a very lovely and uplifting time of my day during this afternoon and thanked many times to this NEW BAND – in my mind – that they let us know their existence by posting it on the FB.
Thank you very much once again.
My real favoured song was "I Will Always Love U." How beautiful it was to listening to it again. Do you remember the movie about this song? I saw that.
Highway 48 Band, I wish you lots of happy time and enjoyment – while you're playing – with lots of success too!
