Code Bleu took our wedding from beautiful and elegant to incredible never-ending fun. Every one of our guests absolutely raved about the talent of the musicians and the quality of the music. Entertaining is an understatement. We fell in love with the band when we attended a wedding they played at two years ago and knew then and there that we needed them at our wedding. So many of our guests told us they had the most fun at our wedding than they’ve ever had at a wedding, and that’s in large part due to Code Bleu. Everyone was up and dancing the entire night, and we didn’t want the party to end. Thank you for working with us and making our perfect day come true. Faith was an incredible MC/show-runner—everything went so smooth, and there wasn’t a dull moment. We wish we could relive the day right now! 1000/10

We couldn’t have a BOLI Summer Soiree at Crescent Beach Club without a steel drummer, and Code Bleu delivered perfectly. The music during cocktail hour brought the best tropical vibes and made everyone feel like they were on a dreamy vacation. The energy and atmosphere they created were incredible and really completed the entire beach vibe of the night. Code Bleu was the perfect addition to this year’s event, and we are so grateful for the unforgettable experience they provided.
Jaislyn – Code Bleu
If we could give Code Blue more than five stars, we absolutely would! From the very beginning, we knew there was no other option for our wedding band. I attended a wedding about seven years ago where Code Blue performed, and I remember leaving that night saying, “When I get married, this is the band I want—no question.” Fast forward to our wedding planning, and we actually chose our venue based on Code Blue’s availability because we knew the party simply wouldn’t be the same without them. That’s how incredible they are—and they still managed to exceed our expectations. Working with Sean and Marissa throughout the planning process was such a pleasure. From the first conversation, it was clear they genuinely cared about making the night absolutely perfect. They took the time to really understand the energy, style, and vibe we were looking for, and they struck the perfect balance between catering to our younger guests while also keeping our older guests engaged and entertained. Their performance was nothing short of spectacular. From the first note to the last dance, they had the crowd on their feet. Every single guest was raving about how amazing the band was—and we couldn’t agree more. Their set list was perfectly curated, and the way they engaged with the crowd added so much personality and fun to the night. It felt less like a hired band and more like they were part of the celebration. They were truly the icing on the cake of our wedding day. It was obvious they were having just as much fun as we were, and their energy was absolutely infectious. Whether it was singing along with our guests, dancing with the crowd, or hitting every musical cue flawlessly, they were worth every single penny—and then some. We are already talking about having them play at future events because we honestly can’t imagine a celebration without them. If you’re considering Code Blue for your wedding or special event, do not hesitate—they are everything you could want in a live band and more. Professional, passionate, incredibly talented, and so much fun. We cannot recommend them enough!

We worked with Faith and Sean over at Code Bleu for a wedding in the Hamptons and could not have been more impressed and grateful for the experience. This team is excellent in every way!

Thomas – Highly skilled, professional and experienced.
Code Bleu is a highly skilled, professional, and experienced band that will bring fun and energy to your special day. They can play a wide variety of musical genres, from golden oldies to modern pump-up jams.Code Bleu worked closely with my wife and me to accommodate special performers from her culture. They also allowed me to perform a few songs for her. Even though I’m not a very good performer, they made it feel — and sound — like I was.

Fantastic group, killer music and super easy to work with. Would recommend working with Code Bleu to anyone!

My wife and I just recently got married a few weeks ago at the end of April. Since then, I think 90% of our guest list has reached out to both of us ranting and raving about the band, and every single one of them seemed to know the name Code Bleu by the end of the night. They were simply fantastic, and as someone who only wanted one thing for their wedding - live music they CRUSHED it. From beginning to end, our dance floor was packed they played the room with no requests, or any music list ahead of time. They were amazing. Our guests loved them so much that a large quantity of our wedding guests are going to see them play in a couple of weeks at a show. Every single singer in the Code Bleu band has a unique sound and style and can tailor any song or genre to your wedding day, I cannot recommend them enough. The talent that this band has is off the charts, and I truly thank all of them for making our wedding night amazing. From beginning to end working with Sean, and everyone else behind the scenes was amazing, they were so kind and helpful to the both of us as we navigated the struggles of attempting to plan a 200 person wedding. We went to the showcase, booked them right there and could not be more pleased with how the entire night turned out. My wife and I will forever look back on booking Code Bleu as the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process. Thank you to Sean and the rest of Code Bleu (Especially Marisa!) for an unforgettable memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Code Bleu did our wedding a few weeks ago on 4/7/24 and we keep receiving so many compliments on how amazing they were! Sean is great to work with and everyone in the band is so talented. I can't say enough good things about them and would tell anyone who is having a wedding to book Code Bleu because they will make your party so memorable 🙂
Michael M
Outstanding performance led by Sean and Faith. Code Bleu was absolutely amazing, we couldn't have asked for a better performance. Sean and Faith ensured our night was the very best. Each member of the band was extremely talented, and our guests continue to rave about them! Highly, highly recommend them for your special day.
Ariel K
My husband and I got married in October 2024, and Code Bleu was truly the star of the show at our wedding. Even 5 months later, people are still raving about them, and all of our guests seem to know them by name. Code Bleu did a fantastic job reading the crowd and playing songs that everyone loved while playing the 6 songs on our must play list and avoiding the songs on our do-not-play list. They kept the dance floor packed all night long and brought so much talent and energy. I loved that Sean and Faith are a father-daughter duo and that the band members have been playing together for YEARS (i.e. who you see at a showcase is really who is going to play your wedding). Marissa was insanely easy to work and communicate with (I was emailing her asking her to change lyrics or songs a few days before and she was so responsive and able to accommodate all of my requests). Some of my friends even thought we had a 20-piece band (it was really 10 pieces) because the musicians are all so versatile—everyone is multi-talented, either singing and playing an instrument (or multiple!). They even had someone playing during cocktail hour (included in the package). There was never a moment without music, even during breaks, and it was very easy to work with them for coordinating the ceremony musicians as well (we did a violist, cellist, and pianist). I would HIGHLY recommend checking Code Bleu out at one of their monthly showcases so you can hear them for yourself and meet them—their sound really speaks for itself. Photography @JeanetteJoyPhoto

Hiring Code Bleu for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They even learned our first dance song, and when they performed it, it was absolutely beautiful, a moment we’ll cherish forever! Sean, Faith and the entire band kept our guests on their feet all night long. Whether it was a romantic ballad or a high-energy hit, Code Bleu knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the party going. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last song, and they even so graciously let our Uncle sing our last song for the night with the band which is a moment our family will never forget! Check them out today at one of their showcases - we promise you’ll love them and Code Bleu will be the band your guests will talk about forever after your reception!

We used Code Bleu for our wedding, and the guests could not stop raving about them! We had them for the entire day, and it was the best we could have asked for. My now husband even worked with the band to surprise me with a serenade. As music lovers, we knew we wanted a band for our wedding, and Code Bleu delivered! The range of music styles they play will have every guest happy. It truly felt like our own private concert of all our favorite tunes!

10/10 for Code Bleu!! You won’t regret booking with Code Bleu! After seeing them perform at a showcase and then our friend’s wedding, we knew we had to book Code Bleu as our wedding band. Sean was amazing to work with and was able to curate the perfect combination of songs that fit our genre/artist preferences. Our guests were dancing ALL night long!!! The dance floor was packed!! Faith was also incredible to work with and was the perfect emcee for our evening. She seamlessly worked with our venue to keep everything on schedule and it was flawless! Truly can’t thank Sean, Faith and the whole band for making our wedding so memorable and FUN! Multiple people have since asked for Code Bleus contact information because they loved them so much! You won’t regret booking with them! THANK YOU CODE BLEU!!
Victoria – Book them!
WOW is all I can say! We booked Code Bleu for our wedding this October and they absolutely blew us away. They kept the dance floor ELECTRIC all night & played all our favorite songs. We still have guests texting us saying how it was the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. Sean & the team are amazing to work with and we knew we were in great hands but they still exceeded all expectations! If you're thinking about booking them, DO IT!
Heather F
We used Code Bleu/Skyline Orchestras for our wedding. They were FANTASTIC! All of our guests raved about the band, even for months after our wedding! Would 1000000% recommend!
Pat M
We booked Code Bleu for our wedding at the Bourne Mansion in Oakdale NY and could not have been happier with our choice. They absolutely rocked the house! The dancefloor was packed all night, everyone dripping in sweat by the end of the night. Their song choices and range was incredible. Each song went into the next seamlessly making our party flow perfectly. For anyone thinking about booking Code Bleu, stop thinking and just do it. You will not be sorry! We got countless compliments about the band the next day while we all nursed our hangovers. 10/10 performance!!
Laura H
I was the third sibling to hire Code Bleu for my wedding and they crushed it every single time. Their sets at each wedding were so different but all were incredible and kept the dance floor going. It is amazing how well they read the crowd and keep the party going. They engage the couple and the crowd and make everything so much fun! I had a unique situation with having to project our best man speech (he is currently deployed). The band went above and beyond to help us set up and project the audio for this special speech. Their range is absolutely incredible and so many people commented on how amazing they were and how close to the actual artists they sounded. I even had a few people claim they never though they were "into wedding bands" until they heard Code Bleu. HIRE THEM!
Megan S
We had Code Bleu play at our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Best wedding band on Long Island in my opinion. We told them we liked all genres of music and they played the best variety. Everyone at the wedding was dancing the entire time and had a fun night. They rocked the whole time, so much talent in each of them. I can’t thank them enough for playing a huge role in making our wedding day so special and fun! Thank you Sean, Faith and the entire band!
Debra
We booked with Code Bleu from Skyline Orchestras. Although they were way out of our budget range, we fell in love with them at one of their showcases. People are still calling us and to tell us how phenomenal they were. My cousin couldn't believe how much they sounded like the original artists with every song they sung. They sang songs from Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" to Frank Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight".
Stephanie C
My husband and I got married in April and used Code Bleu for our band….best decision ever! There are not enough words to describe how incredible the band was! They truly made our night unforgettable, and all of our guests commented to us how amazing the band was!!! They made our night better than we could have imagined and so much fun!! I wish we could do it all again!
Jessica M
We looked at a lot of bands for our wedding day before coming across Code Bleu and knew from the moment they started playing that we wanted them for our wedding. They did an AMAZING job at our wedding this past Sunday. Everyone came up to us during, after and the next morning to let us know how awesome our band was! We had the best time. If you need a band for your wedding, code bleu is where it’s at. Thanks for an awesome and unforgettable night!
William T
Code Bleu performed at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. Not only do they have a vast track listing encompassing a wide variety of genres, but they have the experience and ability to read the room and decide on the fly how best to keep the energy up and the dance floor packed. They learned three songs for our wedding, including our first dance which we had specifically choreographed, and they matched the timing perfectly. Additionally, Sean and the Skyline Orchestra team were very responsive during the lead up to our event, often offering to talk on the phone to work through details. If you want to dance the night away, look no further than Code Bleu, just be sure to book early.
Bonnie B
Code Bleu band just played for our wedding celebration. They are fantastic! The selection of music is perfect. The live music continues throughout the evening. No recorded music even at dinner!!!! There is nothing like a live talented band to make a party!!I I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or celebration!
Rachel and Reid P
In the same week, three different people recommended we check out Code Bleu as our wedding band. Unfortunately we were unable to attend a showcase and the band said, “we’ll hold your date, you’ll come see us next month and if you hate us, we’ll refund your deposit.” Well, the next month we went to see them and were absolutely blown away. The entire band is extremely talented, multifaceted and make it look effortless. From Josh Groban to Lizzo they truly played it all. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible they sounded. At our last song, the dance floor was still packed, everyone was having too much fun and wasn’t ready for it to end!

Victoria F
We hired Code Bleu for our 12/10/23 wedding at Water's Edge. Code Bleu was not only amazing to work with, they made our wedding! The dance floor was full the entire night and all of our guests were raving about the music. I especially appreciated how easy it was to work with Sean, Faith and the rest of the band members. My husband and I wanted to incorporate Italian music into our reception and the band learned a few songs IN ITALIAN at our request. They sounded exactly like the originals (if not better). Additionally, I wanted to surprise my husband by singing a song and it was no issues to work this in to the night. Hire Code Bleu! You will have the best night!!!

Code Bleu is the absolute best!!!! From the moment we made contact with them the band was extremely responsive, organized, and professional. Planning with them was a breeze. As for the day of, they brought the house down. They kept all 200 of our guest dancing the entire night to the point where guests were demanding an encore at the end of the night. Code Bleu went out of their way to make the day special for my husband and I. They learned my husbands and I favorite song and surprised us with it. I could not recommend Code Bleu enough. They are worth every penny.
Claudia P
The number one thing my husband and I wanted was good music. We booked Code Bleu for our wedding pretty much on the spot after attending one of their live showcases. We loved their energy and their wide variety of songs. They were incredible the entire night of our wedding. They kept the party going all night long and our guests are still raving months later. 100% recommend Code Bleu to any couple!
Abigail – Code BLEU is the Way to Go!
I LOVE Code Bleu! They are a MUST! They are a family business, where they played at my parents wedding in the 80s and my older sisters, so it was a no-brainer that I had them play at mine. They are super knowledgable so please TRUST their flow. They called me 3 months prior of what vibe I wanted and I told them to play whatever gets EVERYONE on the dance floor. I had variety of age groups at my wedding and they got all those from 80s to 20s out on the dance floor. Faith sang my first dance song and she was AMAZING, not a dry eye in the room when she sings slow-dance songs. Highly recommend if you want to feel like your at a concert and show off your best moves, you gotta hire Code Bleu!
Sarah C
When I tell you Code Bleu is the most incredible band I have ever heard, it's as simple as that. They were the house band for our venue and they truly had us all dancing the entire night! The rang of this band is incredible, not to mention the infectious energy they brough to each performance, and their ability to learn any song you want. Every transition between songs was so seamless. We even got to have a private first dance with the band when we got to see our ballroom for the first time, and I had chills! Their version of HOLY by Florida Georgia Line was better than the original, like I was in tears by how amazing they are. If I could book them for every single event I would.
Marissa G
I feel that one of the most important aspects of having a great wedding is who you choose for entertainment. My husband and I knew right away after seeing Code Bleu at an intimate band showcase that they would be perfect for us. All of their musicians are very talented and can play everything from classics to current hits. You can tell they love what they do and are having fun. Our guests keep talking about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. The dance floor was packed and it felt like it was your own private concert. Sean (guitarist) was amazing to work with throughout the whole process and made everything stress-free. Our first dance song was not common so the band learned it from scratch and absolutely nailed it! Sounded exactly like the actual song and was so beautiful. Also, all of the entrance and parent dance songs were wonderful too. I highly recommend choosing "Code Bleu" from Skyline Orchestras for entertainment at your wedding! You will not be disappointed.
Jordan S
Just an amazing day in no small part due to this most amazing band! It is amazing how a band so proficient with so many years of experience is able to bring so much energy and passion to what they do. Take it from me, these guys are the real thing--they put their hearts and souls into their performance and I can assure you, will NEVER let you down! Kudos to Sean and the crew!
Sarah & Ben B
We had an absolute blast celebrating our wedding with Code Bleu! A band was one of the most important parts of our day, and we are so happy we went with them. They kept the dance floor full all night, and our guests are still raving about how amazing they are. Working with their team was great, they were very easy and quick to communicate, and worked with us and what we were looking for. We highly, highly recommend booking them for your wedding!
Rachel – Amazing night!
Code Bleu is amazing! They kept the party rocking all night long. The music never stopped. We highly recommend Code Bleu. The band was easy to communicate with, extremely responsive, and gave us assurance that they’d be able to make our choreographed go smoothly; they did not disappoint! If you want to leave your guests wanting more, hire Code Bleu.
Samantha – Hire this band. Do not think twice!
I have no words for how INCREDIBLE this band was.Firstly, the performance was so great and all of our guests were commenting about how fun and talented they were - which we already knew because their reputation precedes them 🙂 The set list was perfect and the dance floor was full all night. Secondly, however, I had some drama with the venue. The band (FAITH in particular) quarterbacked us through all of that. She had my back and kept things running smoothly - which was not her job, but she did it anyways. Third and final, the band worked with my Dad and husband on a special performance by them (they are also musicians!) and it was one of the highlights of the night. Hire them. Don't even think twice.
Molly W
WOW! Code Bleu was easily the highlight of our wedding party. Friends and family are still talking about how great the band was. Prior to the date, Sean was very communicative and flexible on set up and really put us at ease. Day-of, Sean, Faith and the whole band had everyone on the dance floor all night. Can't recommend them enough!
Estee – Rocked All Night
I worked a wedding almost 6 years ago where Code Bleu by Skyline Orchestras performed and I knew then, that I wanted them to perform at my wedding when the time came. Code Bleu was incredible, they also are extremely professional, and had the dance floor rocking all night.
Nicole F
TO CODE BLEU We just wanted to sincerely thank you again for a spectacular performance. It was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The band sounded unbelievable— better than the original version. You kept your promise— no one came off the dance floor the entire night and everyone raved about the band being the best they have ever heard. All of the music choices were perfect. The singers voices and all of the musicians were off the charts incredible. Thank you for being so easy to work with and for making the process so easy. You and your band are top of the line. I know we will see you at another wedding! Thank you so much again. You made the wedding a night we will NEVER forget!!!!

We hired Code Bleu for our wedding this past August, and WOW we could not have been more impressed! From the jump, Sean and his team were reassuring that the music would fit the mood and the crowd perfectly. He took into careful consideration our suggestions and requests, while still guiding us with his thoughts based on his professional knowledge. Sean and the band's experience is evident throughout their performance, because they read the room absolutely perfectly, while holding up the promise that we would have a huge dance party. For real, we danced all night start to finish, only to pause for the special dances. Code Bleu's energy is unmatched and the music itself was unbelievable, this is such a talented band. We got so many compliments about them (and are still hearing them!). We LOVED working with Code Bleu and hope to see them at another event in the future! Thank you!!
Jacqueline – Amazing Experience!
Sean, Marissa, and the whole Code Bleu band were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They made the planning process so easy and hands off for us. For the day of our wedding, their performance was even better than we expected. Everything from the keyboardist during our ceremony, to the entrance music, the first dance, and parent dances, were all perfectly done. We picked a particularly unique song for our first dance, and the band could not have done a more terrific job, sounding exactly like the song we chose. They read the room and kept the energy right throughout the night and most importantly had people dancing the entire time. Every single person we have spoken to about our wedding has mentioned that the band was the best part! I would most definitely recommend Code Bleu for anyone looking for a fun and talented band.
Stacy M
Is there a way to give 100 stars??? My son and daughter in law got married 4 day ago and I still cannot stop reliving it. CODE BLEU blew us away!! Their musicality, their voices, their ability to read the room, their song choices.... everything about them was amazing! They promised us they would rock the room all night and boy did they ever. Not to mention working with Sean- he was so attentive to all of our questions and responded to all of our special requests perfectly. BOOK THIS BAND!!

WOW! If you want get your guests up and dancing this is the band for you! They performed at my daughter's wedding at The Vineyards at Aquebogue this past weekend and everyone said it was the best wedding they ever went to. The music makes the party and boy did Code Bleu nail it. They are extremely authentic and talented. You won't regret it!!
Marrissa R
Code Bleu was amazing. I had the best time and am so glad I hired them. Music was the most important thing to me at my wedding. They were so good to work with, professional and their personalities are all fantastic. It was nice to have a band that looked excited to be there and kept the crowd dancing. The size of the band is impressive and they continuously play which is really nice and harder to come by. I cannot recommend them enough. Hire Code Bleu for an easy way to wow your guests and have a guaranteed fun time!
Stephanie S
WOW! We are still blown away by how amazing Code Bleu was! It's been 3 months since my wedding and I am still getting compliments. They have the utmost professionalism and were an absolute dream vendor to work with- made everything so easy and didn't have to worry about a single thing. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. Can't stress how much everyone loved them- even my other vendors complimented them! By far the BEST decision we made was to have Code Bleu play our wedding. Can't thank them enough for making our special day perfect!
Jeanine H
Code Bleu played at our wedding on Jan 4th 2020 and if I could give them more then 5 stars I would. They were INCREDIBLE. The entire wedding, the dance floor was full with people. They knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. They also played a beautiful rendition of "A Town I Loved So Well" which is an Irish song that means the world to my family- it brought everyone to tears and was just so special. Every single person at my wedding told me how amazing the band was. I can not recommend them enough. They really made my wedding a party to remember!!
Kim – Spend the money!!
We used code bleu as our band and we loved them and I don’t regret spending the extra money! They were worth every penny. They are actually one of the more affordable bands and they play a wide range of genres (which was a big concern of mine). I am still getting compliments on them!
Roslyn – Code Bleu Band
Code Bleu band was one of the first and best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! We were very picky about finding the right live band, as it was a huge priority for our wedding to be a big dance party. After we went to a Code Bleu showcase in NYC, we realized that if these talented folks could brighten up a room of tired, sober couples on a Monday night after a long work day and get them to dance and sing along, then they would be a necessity and perfect for our wedding. Working with Sean and his team was extremely easy throughout the entire process, and we trusted them to deliver a good time, especially since we have a very eclectic taste in music and our guests ranged in all ages and cultures. Code Bleu certainly delivered and was able to satisfy every genre and taste to ensure everyone had a blast. So many of our guests commented on the amazing band, and we would not have had as great of a party without Code Bleu!
Jennifer – Amazing band!
My brother and sister in law had hired Code Bleu by Skyline Orchestras for their wedding, and I remember being blown away, dancing and thinking, "Wow, I keep forgetting this is band, they sound exactly like the actual song! One day when I get married, I am so hiring them too". Lucky for us, they happened to be available when we booked our wedding on pretty short notice in March of 2019. Not only were they all very nice people and certainly knew how to get the crowd having fun, they sounded incredible and could perform literally anything. They even learned our wedding song for us which was relatively new at the time, and they sounded just like the actual song. Their performance through the whole evening was really so amazing and made our day so magical. We HIGHLY recommend Code Bleu especially, but I know all of the bands in the Skyline family are equally as great. Another family member recently hired another one of their bands for her December 2019 wedding and I cannot wait to go see them perform!
Kacie Y
If my husband and I could give code bleu 6 stars- we would! Sean and his team were so incredible! They had people dancing all night and SO many of our guests came up to us at the end of the night saying they couldn’t even tell a lot of the songs they sang were covers because of how phenomenal they sounded. I couldn’t have been happier choosing code bleu to provide the entertainment of a lifetime. We will never forget how we danced the night away!! Thank you!!!
Anne F
We had Code Bleu for our daughter's wedding and it was AMAZZZZIINNGGGGG.....The band is incredible- every member thoroughly enjoys playing and entertaining- the passion and love of music are contagious!! The guests were blown away by how good they are! Thank you for a memorable night! You guys rock!
Lia – Absolutely amazing and diverse wedding band!
Code Bleu kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. The amount of music they can play is incredible. If you are looking for music for your wedding I recommend booking them now! The party did not stop and people were raving about how great they were. Highly recommend!

100 stars!!! Code bleu is AMAZING. end of story. we went to about 5-6 showcases before our wedding and went to see them just THREE days after! we love them. YOU NEED THEM!!
Emily – Stop Looking and Book Code Bleu
“Canes? Where we’re going, we don’t need canes.” – This was the quote of the night after Code Bleu had our 96yo great-aunt dancing her heart out on the dance floor.A good measure of a band’s quality is the number of people on the dancefloor. For our reception, Code Bleu had everyone – young, old, and everyone in between - dancing all night. They truly excelled at reading the room and adjusting accordingly, playing a good combination of music from “Fireball” to “Will You Be My Girl.” The band members were engaging and often joined guests on the dancefloor to keep things lively. They nailed our first dance song, and made our parents cry during the father-daughter and mother-son dances. We were truly blessed to share our wedding with Sean and the rest of the band! They are truly the best in the business. Suggestion to anyone booking them – if you can swing it get everyone (the extra vocalist, trumpet, etc). They are truly something special. Sean/Donna if you read this – Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Code Bleu was the absolute perfect band for our wedding ! They kept everyone dancing and engaged all night just like we wanted and they sounded phenomenal ! I would definitely recommend using them for your wedding if you’re looking to have an all around good time !

What a hit! My guests could not stop talking about the band and how amazing they were! Even after we got back from our honeymoon, people were still talking about them. We went to a showcase and met with Sean, the director. He was great! We knew right away we really wanted them because they were able to adjust their style based on the audience and my mom absolutely loved them! Knowing that I have a family who doesn’t dance, I knew that we were looking for more than just a band to dance to but a show as well. The week leading up towards the wedding, we met with Sean and we still had some things that we were unsure about; he was able to make us feel a lot better about some of those things. We booked our ceremony music, a string trio, and our cocktail music, their amazing keyboard player, through them. During the reception, you could tell that even though people spent more time socializing, they really enjoyed the music!

I had one request from Code Bleu, we wanted every guest to wake up the next morning with sore feet from dancing all night. Code Bleu did just that. Sure enough, not even 40 minutes into the reception, women’s heels were off, and guests were getting down on the dance floor. At one point everyone was dancing – I’ve never seen my family having so much fun as an entire group! My family has worked with Code Bleu for other weddings, so I knew before booking them they are amazing. This band is truly talented- guests can sense their passion for music as they are smiling at one another as they jam- their vibe is infectious! Leading up to the wedding, Sean (Band leader/Guitarist) was very responsive with every question that I had. They have a very interactive website that you used leading up to the wedding that gave them an idea of what kind of music you would like. Sean and I spoke a few days before the wedding to go over last minute items. I asked Sean over the phone to play whatever the band thinks is best (since they are the professionals) and to just keep people on the dance floor all night. They did exactly that. The band members themselves are all young good-looking musicians. Pam (one of the female singers) has a beautiful range- similar to Christina Aguilera. Donna (female vocalist/Sean’s wife) has a soulful voice with hints of Etta James or Ella Fitzgerald influence. Shelly (male vocalists) has an unbelievable voice that nails every note. One of the members of the band is a former American Idol contestant- Anwar Robinson; his voice is breathtaking. Our guests kept coming up to me complementing me on the band. I am so thankful to have come across these guys!! If you are unsure, go see them perform at one of their showcase gigs. We went with the 9-person band. It was worth every dollar and then some. The value of this band CAN NOT be beat. They also had a pianist playing a jazz session during cocktail hour that was spot on. Do yourself a favor and book with them now- they book quickly (so much so, that my cousin who tried to book with them could not because they had been booked on their wedding date months prior to his attempt). The reception music had all of our guests complimenting us about afterwards. They kept the energy up until the very end and read the room just right in terms of what the crowds needed when for throughout the night. In addition to the actual night of the wedding, I have to rave about the communication leading up to the wedding day. They have a great planning page that you can go in and adjust whenever you want to add more info, songs you want to hear, music you don't like, etc., and it keeps everything so organized and easy. Your contact person with the band is notified every time you save new content to the page and then you have a call to go over everything in the week leading up to the wedding. Donna came up to my husband and I during the reception to ask us how we liked everything, and to offer us well wishes- this was so sweet! Oh, and they played until the very last person (my husband and I) walked out of the room…and they still continued playing until the end of the set. I heard them playing as we were in the elevator heading up to our suite; they are so professional! I didn't worry about a single thing. I just enjoyed the night and the awesome performance- it was exactly as planned, and yes my feet hurt too because I was on the dance floor for most of the reception! Thank you, Sean, Donna and Code Bleu!
Kaitlyn S
We had Code Bleu play for our wedding and they were amazing! They kept everyone dancing all night long! All of our guests continue to tell us how wonderful the band was and how much fun they had! My husband was so impressed and felt that they sang songs better than the original! I would recommend Code Bleu to anyone! Such a fun and kind group of people!
Alexandra Z
Code Bleu was amazing! Sean and the rest of the band was the highlight of our wedding and even two months after the wedding, people are commenting to myself and my husband on how awesome the band was and that they stole the show! If you are looking for an amazing band to play at your wedding, stop your search and reserve Code Bleu, trust me it is worth it and will be the best decision you make. We can’t thank Code Bleu enough for making our wedding so special! - Alex and Justin
Caitlin B
Sean, Donna and the whole crew of Code Bleu made the wedding day ROCK! Our guests jaws are still down to the floor from how amazing the band sounded. The vibe was exactly how my husband and I had wanted for our evening. From cocktail hour, entrances, dinner and all night dancing - smiles were glued to all the faces in the venue. Thank you a thousand times over for making the soundtrack to our big day! We've already had people requesting your information for their next events! Caitlin & Ryan

They were absolutely outstanding at our wedding this past July, and we cannot recommend them strongly enough. Those who’ve been to at least a few weddings with live bands will appreciate how important the band is to the energy and atmosphere of the reception. A great wedding band is truly memorable, setting the stage for the whole evening, making every moment pop, getting people up out of their seats with a collective feeling of joy and energy and vigor. By that measure, Code Bleu is a great wedding band. They absolutely nailed the song for our first dance, which was “Tenerife Sea” by Ed Sheeran. The song has a gorgeous finger-picked guitar riff that Sean got exactly right, and they also made sure to maintain the same tempo as the studio recording, which made it a lot easier for my wife and I to get through our choreographed dance. The feedback from our guests was unanimous: the band was incredible. Everyone was blown away. To quote one of them: “They did songs that your grandparents will love, they did songs that teenagers will love, and everything in between.” More than one guest told me that at points during the evening they assumed the band had taken a break and put on a studio-recorded track, only to turn around and be surprised to see that it was in fact the band playing the song live. Ours’ was also a crowd that had plenty of musically proficient individuals with discerning ears. One of the groomsmen is an outstanding guitarist in his own right, and he was totally blown away by Sean, finding himself zoning out for minutes at a time listening to a couple of his solos. Code Bleu gave us confidence throughout the whole process. My wife and I invested a great deal of time and energy in picking a band; we read a lot of reviews and went to a lot of showcases. There were a few things that stood out about Code Bleu from the start. The first thing is that the whole band sings. This is an easy thing to undervalue, but it gives them a ton of flexibility: the sax player sings Latin songs, the keys guy is a dead ringer for Billy Joel, the drummer does Dave Matthews—and then you’ve got also got dedicated vocalists. With most of the other bands we saw, the lead vocals did all the singing—maybe one or two of the musicians sang a bit of backup—and as a consequence they were more limited in the types of songs they could really nail. It was also reassuring to my wife and me that the band members are consistent. Many of the other bands we saw were a rotating cast: on the day we saw them, they had one or two outstanding talents, but couldn’t guarantee that they’d be part of the ensemble for our wedding months later, because at any point they might leave for a different opportunity. Code Bleu seems almost like a family—they’ve been together for many years, and they seem genuinely to love what they do. You know what you’re getting with them, and Sean himself is a warm, passionate and patient professional that never gives you any reason to doubt that they’re going to deliver an incredible performance. They do a great job with arrangements, and know how to use technology to produce an authentic sound. They know how to read a room and make sure everyone is up and engaged and having a good time. And they also know how to make sure that the focus and spotlight is on the bride and groom, and how not to make the show about themselves. So, again: if they’re available, book them.

So we booked with Code Bleu. LITERALLY THE BEST WEDDING BAND EVER. I had known about them from my sister's wedding (6 years ago) where everyone danced and had a good time. They are like a fine wine, they get better with age. They are fun loving and talented group of musicians and singers. They are managed by Skyline Orchestra. You can choose how many performers you want for your wedding which is nice and budget friendly. They vibe with a good crowd and make the experience so much better. All everyone could talk about was how great they were. Everyone was on the dance floor having a good time.
Daniella
Code Bleu is incredible! My husband and I fell in love with the band when we saw them over two years ago at a friend’s wedding. I told my husband that night … we are using Code Bleu for our wedding! Sure enough, when we started our search for a band, our first (and only) stop was Sean at Code Bleu. Even though we heard them at prior weddings, we still went to their open showcases just because we love their music! We worked closely with Sean to coordinate our day of music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Sean was attentive to all our questions and concerns, he fulfilled all of our requests, and he was extremely communicative and helpful during the whole process! You always hear during wedding planning … the band makes or breaks the wedding … well Code Bleu gave us an INCREDIBLE party! The dance floor was filled the whole night and they made it so fun by interacting with guests during some of the songs! The band can play such a wide variety of songs to accommodate everyone’s preference, it made the night so enjoyable! The band filled the room with high energy and truly made the party. They are extremely talented and we highly recommend them. My husband and I asked for recommendations throughout the whole process and Code Bleu’s name always came up first as a recommendation! Unforgettable night, thank you to Sean and Code Bleu!

Code Bleu is UNREAL. My husband and I both have musical backgrounds and were having a hard time finding a band. I went to see Code Bleu at a wedding showcase and could not have booked them any quicker (literally it was 5 minutes in) for our May 2017 wedding. My husband worked closely with Sean and he was extremely communicative and wonderful. He perfectly executed my dream of having my sister sing my first dance song, going the extra mile by rehearsing with her a few weeks before the big day. Every time we see someone that attended our wedding the first thing they talk about is the band. The dance floor was always full and they read the crowd perfectly. Pay the extra for the additional female singer.... its totally worth it :).

Code Bleu was the best band we could have dreamed of to play at our wedding. They are equally as talented as they are entertaining. The dance floor at our wedding was crowded for the entire time, something that everyone from grandparents to the head chef at the venue commented on. If Code Bleu is available, you must book them for your wedding!
Tom B
Sean and the band were absolutely fantastic and were a pleasure to work with. Our wedding was almost a month ago and we still have guests telling us it was the best wedding band they have ever seen. They are extremely hard-working and come not just to play music, but to throw a party. After having Code Bleu, you are never going to want to go to another wedding with a DJ.

Code Bleu is absolutely fantastic! Great personalities and a truly talented band. We got married on the hottest day of the year. Our guests were boiling but Code Bleu still managed to get most of our guests up and dancing and we had such a great time. We heard nothing bu wonderful reviews about how great our band was. Do not hesitate to hire them. You will not regret it.
Jason
They made the party! All of our guests complimented the band saying they were the best band they'd seen. We had seen Code Bleu at another wedding and knew we wanted to book them as they were the best band we'd seen. Not only do they sound fantastic but they keep the flow going great and get people on the dance floor with the right mix of new and old songs. Thankfully they were available for our date and I came away being even more impressed after having worked with them. They are so easy to work with and go above and beyond. We had a song that we wanted them to learn and they did no problem and it sounded great. All day of coordination they made it really easy and took care of everything. I would highly recommend Code Bleu! If you book them you will not regret it.
Maren
Music is the MOST important part of a wedding for me so it was KEY to have a knockout band. My husband and I went to a showcase of Code Bleu and knew we had to have them at our wedding. We were even willing to change venues, wedding dates, etc. to have them! If you are interested in Code Bleu BOOK THEM ASAP! I have had two friends who weren't able to get them because they've been booked so far out.Sean was super easy to work with and knew exactly what kind of music we wanted. They learned songs that I specifically wanted played too which was very important for our Mother/Daughter dance. My friends and family felt like they were at a concert because all of their voices are so authentic. The day following my wedding, one of my friends texted me to say "Thank you so much for having Billy Joel at your wedding last night." HAHA! I can't say enough about Code Bleu, I would recommend them to ANYONE looking to book a wedding or special event!

Code Bleu performed at our wedding on November 21st 2015 and weeks later, our guests are still raving about them! A friend of ours said "I've been to many weddings, and your band was the best I've ever heard!" Relatives who NEVER dance at weddings were out on the floor dancing. I know the band is one of the components of our wedding that has remained in the forefront of our guests' memories, one of their favorite aspects of the evening.Sean, Donna and all of Code Bleu simply blew our guests away with their talent and skill -- performing while being out on the dance floor, keeping everyone dancing, and playing all of our requests. They even performed 2 encores! They truly want to work with you as a couple and honor your requests. Music and live music in particular are important to my family, and we were thrilled with our decision. Code Bleu had worked at our location, the NYIT de Seversky Mansion, frequently and completely knew the space -- questions about logistics never even arose. I highly recommend booking them as soon as you can!
Katie M
We had an amazing time with Code Bleu at our wedding! Everyone loved them and couldn't believe they were listening to a wedding band because of how perfectly they played all genres of music. They totally nailed our first dance and kept the party going all night long! We are so happy that they were part of our perfect day!
Jessica
Incredible!!! If you're looking for a band to play at your wedding we highly recommend Code Bleu. We received so many compliments. Someone even said, "They sound like they should be playing on ShowTime at the Apollo!" We told them what we wanted and they played almost every song that we asked for. They sounded incredible and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. They all had so much energy and looked like they were having a lot of fun. Everyone loved seeing Sean play his guitar while standing on the speaker! My sister dedicated a song to us and sang with the band. Sean spoke with her before and she said that they were amazing to work with.Sean was so easy to work with and was always available if we had any questions. We had special songs that we wanted the band to learn to play that day and they had no prob
Lauren D
Code Bleu was amazing from start to finish of our wedding reception! It was also a pleasure to work with Sean, Donna and Marissa while planning our wedding. If you don't choose Code Bleu, you are missing out!!
Janel
Hands down, the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning was booking Code Bleu. They made the process stress free and then ABSOLUTELY made our reception!!! Our entire party was up dancing and every single person commented on how incredible our band was. We couldn't recommend them more. BOOK CODE BLEU!!!
Maria
Our daughter and son-in-law used Code Blu at their wedding at Martha Clara Vineyards. They filled the barn with the most outstanding music for four fantastic hours!!! Every person in the barn was on the dance floor. Most of them....all night long!!!!! They were extremely wonderful to work with!
Tina A
Love, love, love! Absolutely AMAZING. Don’t even consider another band…seriously! We received so many compliments on Code Bleu. “Where did you find them?” “They sound just like the radio.” They played almost every song that we asked for and just went with the overall theme of the songs/artists that we told them we liked. Sean is the main contact person prior to the wedding and goes over the worksheet we got to fill in our music choices. He’s great! Easy-going and has tons of experience, so will tell you what songs work and don’t work for specific things. Donna is Sean’s wife, and she was our point person at the venue. She double checked the pronunciation of all the names and how we wanted certain things announced. Also very nice and calm, which is very helpful in the chaos of 270 guests! Code Bleu is so awesome! I can’t praise them enough. They sounded amazing! The packed the dance floor all night, and best of all, they looked like they were having a ton of fun too! My only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to dance as much as I wanted. I really hope that we attend a wedding where Code Bleu is playing because I will dance the night away!

Skyline Orchestras' band Code Bleu provided the music for our wedding reception and they were fantastic! Leading up to the wedding Sean did a nice job talking to us and getting a feel for what style of music we wanted at our reception. The day of, they did a great job of keeping things moving and on track with the introductions, first dances, and speeches. They also did an excellent job of transitioning between slow and fast songs, classics, and modern hits. There is a certain presence only a live band can bring to a party and Code Bleu delivered. Everyone at the wedding raved about how much they loved the band. We are so glad we decided to use Code Bleu for our wedding!
Dana
Sean and team were too awesome for words. People have not stopped raving about them. My mother in law even asked if one of the songs was a track or the band. Their enthusiasm is contagious. Their talent is undeniable. One of the best decisions we made!!
Nicole
Code Bleu is AMAZING. We were really concerned about the music for our wedding - we knew we wanted to have a band, but knew that the music would make or break the party so they were going to have to be good. Code Bleu was one of the last bands we saw when going to showcases - we had been so-so on all of the previous bands and as soon as we saw Code Bleu we knew they were the ones. Based on all the reviews we read we knew that they were going to be awesome, however, they more than exceeded our expectations the night of our wedding. Everyone was raving all night, and weeks after, about how awesome they were and how it sounded like we were at a concert. Sean and Donna are both so nice and so easy to work with. We just hope we will be at a wedding with them again soon! You cannot go wrong booking them!
Alexis
First and foremost, I have to say how much FUN everyone in Code Bleu is! They were on the dance floor with our guests, snapping photos with us in the Photo Booth, and seriously rocking out our entire wedding. The entire night our guests were on the dance floor! People are STILL calling me talking about how amazing the band was, and my friends are all using them for their weddings! We booked them on the spot at one of their showcases and we are SO glad we did!Sean was a doll to deal with, and Donna did such a phenomenal job MC'ing our event. They are each so lovely, and I can't wait to see them again in February at our friends wedding! We cannot recommend them enough! Book them, see them, and you'll love them like we did! Thank you Code Bleu for an amazing night!!!
Megan
Code Bleu was absolutely incredible. We weren't at the reception for 5 minutes & my husband and I were being told how amazing they were by our guests. They played every song we asked for and then some. They had everyone (from an 8 year old to a 94 year old) on the dance floor the entire day. We are still getting rave reviews about how amazing they were. Thank you so much Sean, Donna & co. for such an incredible time!!
Tanya
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HIRE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!! Music is the most important thing to me in life and also for my wedding so selecting a band was at the top of my list. I am somewhat of a music snob and this band delivered and completely exceeded my expectations. Every single person came up to me during and after the wedding about how incredible they were and forgot for a minute that it was a live band playing and not the radio recordings. We entered our wedding reception with "Welcome to the Jungle" and everyone couldn't believe how incredible they were. I walked down the aisle to "Love of my life" by Queen and the second they started to play it, I cried. It was so spot on and perfect I couldn't believe it.
Michelle
I would definitely recommend code bleu. They were worth every penny. The dance floor was full all night. We got tons of compliments on our band choice.
Erin
Code Bleu was recommended to us by our reception venue. We went to one of their showcases and we were instantly blown away. Choosing Code Bleu was the easiest decision we made. A few months prior to our wedding, they sent us a worksheet to let them know which songs we wanted and what artists we liked. My husbands family traditionally does Romanian dancing at weddings and Sean told us that it would be no problem. We provided them with a CD and I spoke to Sean about how we wanted to play it. The day of the wedding was pure perfection! The ceremony music was beautifully played. They rocked the reception. Donna came up to us a few times to make sure that we were enjoying everything. The pianist got sick a day or two before the wedding and Sean feverishly found a replacement and worked with him to make sure our songs were perfect. Everyone had a great time, dancing and singing along. I can not thank Sean, Donna and Code Bleu enough!
Rebecca
Code Bleu played at our wedding 6/22/14 at Martha Clara. They were beyond phenomenal. Guests of all ages were raving that night, and continue to let us know how much they enjoyed the music. One guest even said we could have had nothing else but the band, and they would have had an exceptional time.The band was very helpful throughout the planning process and made choosing music easy, and fun! They played everything we asked, and left out what we asked them to leave out! The variety of music from swing to reggae to current top 40 and oldies, was incredible. That night, everyone in the band was very nice and the guests enjoyed not only their music, but their company. I was concerned about the volume of a band with some of my older guests, and on multiple occasions they asked me if the volume was ok or if i wanted it adjusted, which seems like a small detail but I so appreciated it. Worth every penny, I would recommend them in a second!
Tracy E
Such a talent group! They sound amazing and will get your guest really going. We loved every moment of working with Code Bleu.
Justin
Alll I can say is WOW. These guys truly rocked our wedding. We used Code Bleu and Sean was just awesome to work with. He helped us with everything from not only our music selections at the wedding, but recommended our photographer that we would use as well! Anytime you had any questions or concerns Sean was willing to take the time to talk about it and ease any of your concerns. Everything at the wedding was top notch. Even during the ceremony people were shocked to hear that the music playing was live and not a recording as all the music sounded absolutely perfect. Code Bleu had all of our guests talking for days after the wedding about how much fun it was and I recommend them without hesitation!
User1652864
I heard Code Bleu at a wedding several years ago and when I got engaged they were my first phone call. We didn't even consider looking at other bands and it was the best decision we made. Sean is so easy to work with and the band listens to whatever preferences you may have (but they really do not need any directions, these guys are pros). They span from the classics to current pop without missing a beat. I loved this band because they knew how to get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there! Every member is incredibly talented. My husband got up and sang a few songs with the them which Sean was very cool about. You will not find a better band than this. Also, I would recommend adding the horns and female singer. They are worth every penny!
Daniel
We were referred to Code Bleu by a friend who had used them for her wedding, and stubbornly insisted that they are "the best". I was skeptical, but agreed to check out their next showcase. After seeing them, my then-fiancée and I decided that they were amazing and booked them on the spot.In the time leading to our wedding, Sean was always incredibly receptive to my inquiries. I was particularly annoying about our first dance song ("Life's a Happy Song" from The Muppets), which the band agreed to learn for our wedding. The Groomzilla that I was, I asked if it'd be possible to get a recording of the song to practice to before our wedding, and they graciously accommodated us. Of course, their version of the song was amazing (I actually prefer it to the original movie recording). Everyone at our reception raved about how good Code Blue was. Even the staff at our venue (receptionist, bartenders, waitresses) repeatedly remarked to me: "Who is this band? I've worked here ______ years and they are the best I've ever heard." After the wedding, my new wife and I were idly talking about how we could end up with another excuse to book Code Bleu for an event. "Maybe if we get divorced and then quickly remarry and have another wedding . . . .?" my wife mused. I've afraid that I'm coming off as hyperbolic regarding how good Code Bleu is, but in briefly looking at their other reviews, I can tell I'm the norm. They are that good. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Sandy
There are no words to describe Code Bleu on our wedding day at the Westmount CC. Beyond AMAZING! We fell in love at the showcase, and they went above & beyond & blew us away during our cocktail hr, & reception. The 3 piece jazz trio was just as amazing during the viennese hr. We wanted to keep the party going, & keep it upbeat, & they nailed it. Sean was extremely easy to work with while planning, always professional, & accommodating. He never said no, and even made great suggestions at times. Code Bleu was always easy to get in touch with through the planning process, and always very quick to respond to email inquiries. This put me at ease. We liked Code Bleu because each band member alone was amazing, and put together 'perfect'. They each have a great voice and have their own specially.. they can cater a wide range of music. We wanted the oldies, mixed in with the new age club music, and everything in between. They promised us an amazing wedding, and they came through better than we ever could have imagined. The dance floor was packed, and we have had non stop calls since Saturday asking who the band was, and where we found them, and where they could even travel to listen to them play again. We have had numerous, numerous guests tell us that this was the best band they have ever experienced at a wedding. There were even rounds of applause at times during the reception. Billy Joel 'WOW'. If you are considering a band, Code Bleu is the only way to go! We wish we could do it all over again already. During the planning process, we had many people try to sway us to what they thought were the 'best' bands in NJ and NYC... to be honest when we called those suggested bands they were rude and all about getting booked and how popular they were. We went with our gut and chose Code Bleu. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE said that this band was the best they ever heard... better than what they originally thought was the best from their past experiences and other weddings.
Tara R
This band was incredible! Sean was so great to work with and the dance floor was packed all night long. We are still getting praise on the band. Highly recommend!
Tracy
Code Bleu is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! People are still talking about how amazing the band was at our wedding!! They were loaded with energy all night and made our wedding extraordinary!! Code Bleu went above and beyond to make our day special for us. Sean was super helpful throughout the entire process, and was always there to run something by, about music or anything wedding related! He spent hours with my husband and me going through various songs that we liked and didn't like the vibe we wanted for the night (dance party all night long!!); he's such a great guy and we had a blast planning it out with him! He has such an innate talent for knowing what to play and when to play it to keep the dance floor packed!! The band learned multiple songs for us and even collaborated with the string quartet I had for the ceremony!! There is really nothing musically that they can't do!! They are a suburb group of kind, passionate, and extremely talented people- A MUST for your wedding!!!!
Rob G
Code Bleu was the first showcase we saw, and they could not be beat. Sean was extremely easy to work with while planning, and very accommodating for special requests. Code Bleu is able to cater to a wide variety of musical tastes, and our wedding was perfectly suited to ours. We were put at ease, and they maintained a professional yet easy going manner throughout planning and the wedding itself. On the day of the wedding, we never had to worry about the music at the ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. Everything was run perfectly. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and guests are still raving about how great the band was in quality and music choice. Code Bleu is simply the best way to go for your wedding music.
Liliana R
Every guest keeps raving about our band!! They truly were amazing and even people that swear they do not like wedding bands say that they LOVED Code Bleu. Sean and Donna the owners are amazing to work with and treat you so nice from day one. You can tell they really want every event they play to be fantastic. I am very, very picky and I saw over 30 bands before seeing Code Bleu and boy am I glad I did. They always have free showcases which is awesome!! This is the best wedding decision that we made and I will always have an awesome video with great music thanks to them. Thank you Code Bleu. I'd give you 10 starts if I could!!
Kaitlyn
Code Bleu is amazing and kept our guests dancing all night long. Many, many people told us that Code Bleu was the best band they ever heard at a wedding! Most wedding bands have 2 or 3 members who perform vocals, and by the end of the night songs start to sound the same. Not the case with Code Bleu -- nearly every (if not every) member of the band is also a vocalist, allowing Code Bleu's performances to sound extremely close to the original artists. Sean is very easy to work with and was extrememly accommodating in adding an extra horn section to our package as well as a DJ for our after party.

Music was the MOST important thing to me when planning my wedding, which is why I am so glad my maid of honor recommended we check out Code Bleu. They did an AMAZING job. I never told them what to play - they just read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night. Also, Sean was so nice and helpful; he made the whole planning process easy and stress free! I highly recommend booking with Code Bleu!!

Code Bleu was fantastic. Everyone that came to our wedding kept saying, "the band is amazing!" 2 months later and people still gush about how wonderful our band was because everyone was dancing the WHOLE TIME. If you want people to dance, go with Code Bleu. We had our wedding in an airplane hangar and they could not set up until an hour before the reception and they had no problems. They arrived on time, were professional, accommodated requests and brought the party to our reception. Seriously, worth every penny. I would have paid more if I had known how good they turned out to be.

We cannot say enough about Code Bleu... My husband really wanted to have a band at our wedding, while I had not ever heard one at a wedding before. He spoke of a different band that his cousin and friends both used, but Code Bleu was highly recommended by another one of his friends. When we attended their showcase, we were told that there was another couple there with our wedding date. When they started playing, my husband could not sit still in his seat. We wanted to get up and dance right then and there. Finally I could picture the reception and how much fun everyone would have in that long dance hall, dancing to Code Bleu. Our info card went to Sean, the owner of Skyline Orchestras and lead guitarist of Code Bleu, along with the card for 2 other couples. Luckily we were first on his list of couples to sit and chat with. He never left our table and we're glad that he didn't. We knew we wanted them to entertain our guests, and we knew we wanted ALL the members who had performed that night. The reception was so much fun and Code Bleu was accomodating enough to play music for the traditonal Filipino money dance, that went on 4-5 songs. My husband's cousin loved the music so much, he offered to pay them to play a little longer. We could not have imagined our reception without Code Bleu!

When I got engaged the first thing my parents told us was we needed a band. DH and I groaned and immediately thought of cheesy wedding singers, but when we came across Code Bleu and the Skyline Orchestra family we were sold immediately. Simply put, Code Bleu is phenomenal. They were fun, high energy and played amazing music. They really kept the dance floor moving the whole night. I have no complaints about their musicianship, performance, etc. I would recommend them 1000% over and over again. My mother in law is still raving about what a wonderful job they did with the mother groom dance and really made the song sound just like the original artist. They are really a remarkable talent!

There are no words to describe how AMAZING Code Bleu is. My family and friends are still telling us how much they loved our band! We went to one of Code Bleu's preview shows at Westbury Manor (our wedding venue) and booked them right after they were done playing. Every single member is great and we just love them!!! Sean is friendly, easy to get a hold of, and if you ever have a concern, he will make that go away really quickly! I had a ton of people at my wedding who are going to be getting engaged pretty soon and I know that if any of them want a band, they will totally use Code Bleu!! Thank you for making my wedding day absolutely perfect and FUN!! I never thought that my 1:30 reception would feel like a night wedding and people would be dancing the entire time!!! You guys are THE BEST!!!

Originally I thought I wanted the band my sister chose for her wedding, but they were booked on our date. A friend of mine recommended Code Bleu, and (in my opinion) they were so incredibly impressive and even better than what I originally wanted. You need to go to one of their showcases to know what I'm talking about. Five minutes in you'll have goosebumps, you foot will be tapping, and your head will be bopping. We brought my future Aunt and Uncle with us to the showcase, and they told us if we didn't book them they were going to renew their vows and have a party and book them themselves. I think they still go to showcases haha- they had such a good time! They dress like professionals, act like professionals, they know almost any song you can think of, and they get back to you right away when you have questions or concerns. They are expensive ($7,100 for extra amazing singer Pamela, ceremony, etc.), but definitely worth it. The biggest problem you'll have with them is seeing if they are available on your date.

Code Bleu was absolutely fantastic! They are incredibly talented and have a large repertoire allowing for a great variety to choose from. Skyline provided a beautiful string trio for our ceremony, an amazing pianist for our cocktail hour, and a 9 piece band for our reception. They were able to go from pop, to rock, to classics. They kept everyone on the dance floor and made sure that all of our announcements ran smoothly. Definitely a must!

You know a band is amazing when you think they are playing a CD while on break and then you realize nope it's the guitar player! We saw Code Bleu at my friends wedding and knew we had to have them at ours. They learned songs for my husband no questioned asked. Sean was a pleasure to deal with during the planning process and was there for any questions we had. You will not be disappointed with this amazing band.

Absolutely amazing! They played at my brothers wedding, and were still amazing the following year at mine! Everyone is still talking about them! Sean is so nice to work with and very helpful!

AMAZING! Guest are stilllll raving about them.We booked the band without seeing them live. We live out of state so we couldn't really go see anyone. My parents had gone to a wedding where Code Bleu was playing, they fell in love with the band. We tried to book them but they were already taken for our date so we went with Skyline Orchestras. We had our doubts when we booked them, I was a little worried since we didn't actually know what they sounded like. needless to say, we had a lot of questions. They were so responsive. Answered any and all questions we had and also answered questions we didn't asked, but should've. We used the keyboardist for both the ceremony and cocktail hour, he was fine. We did a classical ceremony, so it wasn't anything special. the Reception was Phenomenal! They kept the dance floor PACKED the entire time. It was incredible. I can't put into words how much fun we had. We had a photobooth with props and by the end of the night, most of the band has a piece on! You can tell that the band was having a great time as well! I'm SO glad we booked them and would recommend them to ANYONE! They are a band with talent!

Skyline Orchestras CODE BLEU is outrageous. They play a perfect assortment of music that will suit everyone! I had a full dance floor the entire night and EVERYONE I spoke to durning and after the wedding could not stop raving!

Code Bleu is an unbelievably fun and talented band. It sounds like you're listening to the actual songs, and many times, it's even better. People are STILL raving to me about how amazing the band, Code Bleu,was.

Everyone at the wedding absolutely loved the band! They played an array of music and they are so good that you feel like you're at a concert! The band members look like they're having so much fun and get the party rockin'! People asked if they had a soundtrack because they wanted to buy it!! They were the first band we saw and we went to see them 2x after we booked just for a fun evening!! LOVE SHAWN, DONNA, TOMMY, DREW, and everyone! They also provided our ceremony music and cocktail hour music. AWESOME
Valerie C
Everyone loved the band. We had a very specific first dance song and I was concerned how they would cover it but I honestly could not tell the difference. The band I had was Code Bleu and I would recommend them to everyone.
Samantha
Everything ! Every song they played was awesome. They have great range in ability and alot of energy.;They didn't play everything from our must play list.

Skyline Orchestra's has a few different bands to choose from. I used Code Bleu. They sounded so much like the original artists that everyone was up and dancing the entire time! They catered to the types of music you want played and they also learned a special song for the father daughter dance. I gave them a copy of the song a month before the wedding and they played it flawlessly! They have a book of songs that they know and will ask what you like so they make sure to play it. THE only thing I said was to make sure everyone danced and had a fun time and they certainly kept their end of the deal!ked for

The band was great. Everyone had a great time and raved how good they were. A few quirks throughout the evening but only that we noticed because we planned the evening. We saw this band at one of their showcases which sold us on them. At the last minute, they changed one of the band members without really telling us. The new guy was amazing too but we were a little disappointed that they did not bring this to our attention. When booking this band, I would just be sure to really lay out what you want and be clear so there is no confusion the night of your wedding. Also, we recommended a few songs and we're a little let down with the performance. The best thing is to let them stick to the music they know best because that music and their voices were amazing!!!!

They learned specific songs just for us and they kept everyone on the dance floor.
