Wayne Foster Entertainment

Wayne Foster is amazing! We had a 7-​person band play at our wedding and they were ON FIRE! Instead of taking the expected break between sets, the band kept the party going for 2.5hrs straight! They were easy to work with and played all of the songs we wanted them to — and played them perfectly! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and the energy of the band. So happy to have found these guys!

I have always heard how great the WFE group is at making a wedding or event spectacular, so I saved my money to hire them for my daughter’s wedding which was supposed to be on August 1^st in Malibu. However, a horrible accident outside of our rehearsal for the wedding resulted in the tragic death of the groom’s brother/​best man, so the wedding – and band – were suddenly cancelled. The Wayne Foster people were very kind and helped us find a date to reschedule this important day!
In tragedy, the help of others becomes more important than even amazing talent, so I am writing this review prior to the new date for the wedding to let you know about the non-​business side of WFE. Now, I look forward to hearing and dancing to their music
at a different venue, Hummingbird Nest Ranch. I am so happy that I will have professional musicians who can get people dancing even after such a difficult time. I have 100% faith that this band will make the day joyous!

Well worth EVERY penny! We hired Wayne Foster Entertainment for our wedding and it was an unbelievable night! Beyond our expectations. They brought 11 talented performers. I would suggest spending a little extra and getting the props package. So much fun! I worked with Marin and Jackie and they offered incredible customer service from start to finish. They made the planning easy and the night was seamless. The band performed every song we requested. We were so honored to have wayne himself perform on the keyboard! It was a night we will never forget and our guests continue to talk about it. Only a few days before our party, we requested a last minute song for our final dance. We weren’t sure if it would even be possible to play with such short notice, but we thought we’d give it a try and ask anyways. Marin said they’d do their best to include it… and to our surprise they DID! Amazing.

Bonnie Foster helped us put together the incredible band for our wedding. They couldn’t have done a better job! I am constantly getting rave reviews and being told thats the best Wedding Band my friends have ever seen! Honestly Wayne Foster made my wedding Spectacular. Thanks a million Bonnie you are the best! So glad you were able to sing and be a part of my wedding. You are a real Class Act!
Thanks again, the new Mrs. Grier

Wayne Foster is the most AMAZING band in the country, hands down! We recently had them play our wedding reception (and flew them all the way to the Lake Placid Lodge in NY to do so!) and we can’t say enough good things about them… They coordinate everything flawlessly, are incredibly professional, flexible, and consistently go the extra mile to make everything 100% perfect. (In our case, this even meant bringing in an electrician to the venue to guarantee their specific sound needs were met!) The musicians are among the most talented in the business and the work ethic at WFE is unparalleled. We were incredibly particular in terms of our requests and they worked tirelessly to deliver on every single one. I honestly can’t imagine how much time they put into learning our favorite non-​standard (for weddings) 80s/​90s/​indie rock songs (and perfectly at that) — really, truly INCREDIBLE!
In our opinion, music is the single most important element of a party and hiring WFE was the best decision we ever made. We’ve attended a lot of weddings (as have our friends) and we’ve never come across a band that remotely compares. We’re nearly two months out and continuing to hear things along the lines of: «Wow, that was seriously the most amazing band I’ve ever heard… they sounded just like the artists in every song they played.» We imagine people will be talking about «the band at our wedding» for the rest of our lives. Honestly. People of all ages were on the dance floor all night, having the time of their lives. And to us, that’s what great wedding receptions are all about.

Wayne Foster Entertainment is the BEST wedding band in San Diego, period. I have attended many weddings and personally think live bands are the only way to go. It makes the wedding so much more fun and festive then having a DJ — but that is just my opinion! So, having a band was a top priority for our wedding and we knew from reviews and recommendations from vendors and friends that there is no other band to even consider. We wanted fun music, nothing cheesy, and wanted people to dance all night.
They are unbelievably professional and work with you on pricing. They did not scoff at our price range and we worked out a compromise for a full night of live music. And they WAY over delivered on their promises! Everyone was on their feet dancing from the beginning of the night until the very end. The performers’ voices were awesome and they stuck to our «must play» and «do not play lists». They had props that they passed out like hats, funny sunglasses, and sequined MJ gloves which were a huge hit. We heard later that people took the MJ gloves and busted them out at other weddings! We have been told over and over that they were the best wedding band people have ever seen. They made our special day into a legendary event and we are so happy we got to work with them!

These people have perfected what they do. I hired Wayne Foster for my wedding reception. I chose to get the «hybrid» option — which is a DJ and they had 3 singers/​performers. I was worried if this would look like a bad karaōke night… but it was PERFECT!
They offered entertainment for my cocktail reception free of charge. They are pricey — we paid about $ 3400 for this — but it was WELLLL worth it!
The performers rapped with some old hip hop songs, sang along with earth, with and fire, and were able to perform along with the top 40 radio songs. I sent them a list of songs that I wanted to hear that night and they played all of them! They were so friendly and entertaining. We danced all night.
The days leading up to my wedding and planning/​coordinating with WF was a piece of cake. Susan Foster met with us personally and helped us with a timeline for the reception and it was absolutely flawless.
Hope you consider them ;)
When you meet with them though — don’t feel rushed into making a decision and deciding on a price (you may feel like this). Talk prices with them and I’m sure they can give you something within your budget.

This company is right next to the company that I work for and one of my coworkers used them for a special event that he organized and one that I was invited to and attended.
Very professional people and I were to ever have a grand ceremony or wedding (highly unlikely) I would happily fork over some serious cash and hire this company.

My husband is in the music industry so I let him be in charge of picking our wedding band. When he picked Wayne Foster and I saw their prices, I almost died. But I must say it was well worth EVERY PENNY. They were incredible!
I am now 6 weeks post wedding and people still cannot stop commenting how good the band was. They knew what music to play when, and kept everyone up on the dance floor all night long. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone getting married in the southern california area. When people say ‘the band makes the party’ — they are right — so feel good spending your money to get the best band in town.

I have nothing but good things to say about this company. They made my wedding reception amazing!!! The planning before hand was so smooth and I really enjoyed working with all the people there. The music was great and they kept everyone up dancing all night. People are still raving about «the band» and how much fun they had on the dance floor. They gave out tons of props to the audience such as hats, tambourines, sunglasses, necklaces, etc. that really got everyone involved. I was so impressed too by the fact they never took breaks and that they actually did wardrobe changes throughout the night! They were a bit pricey but you REALLY get what you pay for and then some. I can’t say enough good things about the company and HIGHLY recommend them for any event.
