Craig Scott Entertainment, Rochelle Park NJ

We LOVED The Craig Scott Band! We have received so many compliments from our wedding guests about how amazing the band was! We cannot say enough how appreciative we are of them, they got the party started and never stopped! Days later and people are still reaching out and messaging us about how much fun they had and how great the band was! Thank you Craig Scott!

The Craig Scott Band played at our wedding in December 2023, and we couldn’t imagine having any other entertainment. They were absolutely phenomenal! Just a few songs into the wedding, people were already asking us who they were and if they could have business cards. Our wish was that the night would be filled with dancing, and the band had no problem making this happen. Nick made the whole planning process incredibly easy, and he was just a joy to hear throughout the night. Scott was incredible as well, and they were both so sweet to work with. The singers were amazing. We truly credit the fun of our wedding to The Craig Scott Band!

Craig Scott Entertainment is the best in the game — great people, incredibly talented artists and an attentive team!

I have used Craig Scott Entertainment on two separate occasions and I can't recommend this company enough! They always come through (even on last minute requests) and the quality of their artists is truly superior. Scott and Kathy are an absolute pleasure to work with and are full of helpful suggestions. Most recently, we booked Uptown Grooves for a small second wedding and they were great! Exactly what we were looking for.

Wow! Absolutely amazing!
Fun, high energy best wedding ever and the band was a huge part of making this wedding so incredible! Thank you

The Craig Scott Band made our wedding. We received countless comments from guests on how amazing the band was. I did not sit once during my wedding because we were having the absolute best time on the dance floor because of the band. I would recommend this band ten times over. Nick and Craig were so wonderful to work with during the planning process. Absolutely amazing, worth every penny!

Absolutely incredible! We booked with the Phase One Band and our guests raved about how amazing the music was. We were on the dance floor the entire night! Thank you so much for making our night so spectacular!

THE BEST WEDDING BAND! Seriously, hire them! So great to work with pre-wedding, the day of had amazing energy and have been getting amazing feedback from family and friends since the day of. I was SO particular about the band, wanted amazing music and good energy and the Craig Scott Band went above and beyond my expectations!

“This band is AWESOME! ”……is the refrain heard from many guests at our wedding celebration! “What voices! ”…. Spot on said other guests! What’s better than live music? ! We highly recommend Rich Bascomb and Phase One for a wedding! They were excellent, kept everyone dancing and having fun but not overwhelming. During interludes of the meal; one was a guitar soloist playing, then the bassist and keyboardist collaborated. Again, just the right songs and pace. What musicianship!
Rich and the band catered to our demographic and genre!
The front office of Craig Scott Entertainment is friendly, timely and easy to work with from Nick, Kathy and Craig himself. A slam dunk, one less thing to worry about. Thank you Rich and Phase One. A party we’ll never forget.

We had Phase One Band for our wedding and they were incredible. They picked great songs that were a great mix of more modern and some older hits. People of all age groups raved to us about how great they were. They engaged with the crowd which was so much fun. On top of all of this they were easy to communicate with in the weeks leading up to our event which made everything run smoothly. Could not recommend more highly!

We loved working with Rich and Phase One. We knew from the minute we talked to him he was the vibe we wanted for our wedding band. They let us request a bunch of songs to play, and we also trusted them to feel out the room in the moment. The room was electric from the first song to the last. Everyone was up on the dance floor (including the bandmembders) from the very beginning which was all we every wanted. We also added a DJ for our after party which was amazing vibes. He played the exact style we wanted and took requests from the crowd as well. We would recommend Phase One to anyone looking to have the BEST vibe at their wedding.

I cannot begin to imagine our wedding without the Craig Scott Band! They were simply INCREDIBLE in every way! Nick, Scott, and the team really know what they are doing and their guidance and ideas really made our wedding what it was. We chatted with several bands but after our initial call with Scott, we just knew CSB had to be it! In the months leading up to the wedding, Nick would call to check in often and was SO helpful and patient as we tried to decide on instruments/entrance songs. He was also integral in helping to develop our timeline and I am SO happy we went with his suggestions - such as, to have our guests up and dancing before we make our entrances, invite everyone onto the dance floor directly following our first dance, etc, as their goal is to keep the energy UP and it is exactly what they achieved! I was a bit hesitant to have the band learn our first dance song, but Nick assured me they could do it and they seriously knocked it out of the park, even accommodating a 'dress rehearsal' a few minutes before the reception started. They also mashed together a few songs for our father/daughter dance - we could not have made it more complicated for them and it was seriously perfect, down to every beat - they are really just so impressive! We had a brunch the morning after our wedding and everyone could not stop talking about the band! Choosing Craig Scott Band was easily the best decision we could have made for our wedding and I could not recommend them more!

Uptown Sounds was absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to accommodate our playlist and our guests. They were awesome to work with and I will be recommending to all my friends. The guests at my wedding RAVED about this band for days, after dinner not one person was in their seat- the band had EVERYONE dancing. Love them!

The Craig Scott Band from Craig Scott Entertainment was the best part of our wedding! When we first time we met Scott at our initial meeting, he was very honest, helpful, flexible, and generous. We are now 1 month past our wedding date and have received endless compliments about the Craig Scott Band. Guests from all ages were on the dance floor the entire night- the energy was high, the musicians were phenomenal, and we were extremely impressed with the MC and band's ability to assess the energy in the room and who was on the dance floor and change the music accordingly to make sure there were no lulls in the night. Nick, the MC, was very organized, accommodating, and supportive in making sure the flow of the night was smooth, personal touches of the reception were included, and the party was able to continue for the entire evening. I could not recommend the Craig Scott Band more, and our guests inquired about this vendor more than any other vendor we used at our wedding. We wanted our wedding to be lively and inclusive of all of our guests, and the Craig Scott Band far exceeded our expectations.

Phase One was the best wedding band, not only by my standards and my husband's, but by every one of our wedding guests. They kept our entire reception on time from the introductions, speeches and cake cutting to making sure that there was plenty of time on the dancefloor. I was so impressed with the band's wide variety of music and they took the time to prepare the setlist based on our preferences and musical tastes of our guests. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them for another large party because your entertainment is completely taken care of when they're in charge!

We hired City Heat through Craig Scott Entertainment for our April 2023 wedding and it was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. Scott and Kathy in the office were very responsive and friendly, which made the process fun and smooth on our end. Kyle and Matt from City Heat were so easy to work with and incredibly responsive to any request we had, big or small. They kept the dance floor alive the entire night and people are still raving about the talent! You can't go wrong with Craig Scott Entertainment.

The Craig Scott Band was absolutely amazing! Our guests could not stop raving about the music. The musicians were extremely talented and actually came out onto the dance floor to engage the guests, which was a very fun concept. We had used Craig Scott Entertainment for all our music including ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and a DJ for the afterparty. The staff is very accommodating and responsive and our band leader helped design a schedule of events to make sure it included everything we wanted, answering all of our questions. Would highly recommend them again and again!

Craig Scott band played at my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. They were amazing. Initially guests thought the vocals were recorded! The voices of these singers are outstanding. The horns…Wow! Put all the pieces together and they cannot be beat.
These folks had everyone on their feet, they were truly engaging.
We gave them very little guidance and told them to use their judgment…they could not have done a better job.
More than I could have asked for…they were just terrific.

Phase One played at our wedding on Jan 21st 2023. We told Rich the band leader that we wanted a party - gave him some suggestions, but basically said we trust their judgement, and get everyone on the dance floor. They were incredible! Weeks later, everyone is still raving about how fun our wedding was. It was such a good time and Rich and the Phase One team is a major reason why. Someone told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. They are all so talented - everyone kept telling us the female singer should be famous, and multiple of our guests said the male singer did the best, most fun shout rendition they’ve ever heard. We would book them 100 x again - go book phase one!
