Absolutely incredible!

Without a doubt, an absolute highlight was having Parkside Drive play at our wedding. Guests could not stop raving about how amazing they were – we’re still getting compliments!! The dance floor was going all night long- it was fantastic. They were absolutely incredible to work with- very professional, on time- working with us every step of the way. We could not recommend them more – we will be recommending them to friends and family for years to come! Thank you so much Parkside Drive for an absolutely incredible experience!

Looking for a touch of class for a formal event?  The Live Jazz band performs a blend of jazz standards and timeless pop classics.  Perfect music to enjoy a glass of wine, and mingle with co-workers and friends.  The Live Jazz combo is also an excellent starter course for afternoon-evening events, where the larger band (such as the large ensemble or our dance band) will take to the stage later on.  

Instrumentation includes: 

• Keyboard
• Upright Bass (Double Bass)
• Drums

Other instrumentation, such as saxophone, available upon request

Absolutely Amazing Band!

We love Parkside Drive! Prior to planning my own wedding I had been to 4 weddings where Parkside was the band and we absolutely had to have them play for our wedding as well. From the get-go the responses were so quick and Dave was so helpful I felt very at ease on the day that they would make our wedding amazing. They handled the ceremony music, the cocktail hour and our reception/party. They even played our first dance song (as a last minute request), I was so pleased with how the entire experience went with Parkside. Our entire wedding danced all night and I would highly recommend them for any event. Very professional and they have a great way of getting the group engaged and up and moving! Thank you to Dave & the Parkside group!

Fantastic!

We had seen Parkside Drive perform at 2 weddings prior to us booking the band. They were fantastic! They were the first thing we booked for our wedding. They had excellent communication prior to the wedding and on the wedding day. They used an organized online booking system which kept our invoices together and up to date. Our guests could not stop raving about the band after the wedding! The live band was interactive and kept the dance floor busy all night. We also booked the band to play for our ceremony. They were willing to learn all of the songs requested. We could not say enough great things about this band. It is truly worth the money spent! It was a fantastic experience.

Parkside Drive rocked our wedding! They brought down the house with their great playing and singing. The only downside was that they had to take occasional breaks to cool off! Many of our guests buzzed to us about the band and how excellent they were. High praise from a cultured crowd. Big thanks the Dave and the band for helping to make our wedding a night to remember in Muskoka.

Best Wedding band ever!

These guys are fantastic. Dave and team easy to work with. They’re super nice and are wonderful humans. They even learned a whole bunch of songs for us. We had the best time at the wedding because of them, they kept the mood up and everyone danced all night. Whenever we hear that others are getting married, we always recommend Parkside Drive! They’re the best! Thanks for being a big part of the best days of our lives!
