praise for SONIC PLAYGROUND ...
 
 

As soon and we picked a date & booked the venue for our wedding the next mission was to find a band.  We searched for months and saw many bands but they all weren’t very good or were outrageously expensive.  

 

We had the pleasure of finding Sonic Playground at a friend's charity event we were attending and as soon as we heard & saw them ;) we knew that they would be perfect for our wedding!  They didn’t disappoint, Sonic Playground really was AMAZING at our wedding.  We received soooooo many compliments from our guest on how incredible the band was.  The dance floor was packed all night & I think that says it all. 

 

Sonic Playground took our wedding to a whole other level, and we can't thank them enough.  We highly recommend this band, and look forward to having them at our next event!

The first thing we did after booking our venue was book Sonic Playground.  We first saw them in October 2008 at a club in Mississauga.  We knew right away we wanted them playing at our wedding.  This was before we were even engaged!
 
Sonic Playground was the hit of our wedding.  We still talk about it a few months later and still get comments from our guests.  We're certain we will be seeing them at future weddings for friends and family.  They're that good.

We booked Sonic Playground for our July 2009 wedding. They were exactly the kind of band any bride and groom would want - totally professional, easy to work with, great performers and kept our guests of all ages dancing late into the night. We would highly recommend Sonic Playground to anyone looking for a great live band for any occasion.

We were lucky enough to have Sonic Playground provide the entertainment at our wedding in June 2009.  We knew that good food, good music and good people would make our wedding perfect – the band lived up to this and more … Jay & the band blew us away with their sound!

 

Sonic Playground was a hit with all of our guests.  We loved their upbeat, addictive energy and found that most guests stayed on the dance floor all night long – both young & old.  We chose Sonic Playground to be part of our big day, as they have a long history playing together and a great youthful energy that appealed to all of our guests.  They were extremely easygoing and accommodating to all of our requests.  One of the highlights of our day was finishing our first dance and having all 200 of our guests join us on the dance floor – it was quite the dance party!!!!

 

Sonic Playground really did make the night perfect.  We keep trying to come up with an excuse to have them play for us again!  It was a true pleasure to work with such friendly and talented people.

We discovered Sonic Playground at a club in Toronto. It took two songs for me to start harassing my fiance to use them for our wedding - something he initially objected to, as it was the first live band we had considered. After the third song, and watching vocals being passed from female vocalist, to male guitarist, to male bassist, my fiance was now jumping up and down too.

When we got a chance to discuss our wedding; likes and dislikes, we were comforted by the band's easygoing behavior and their desire to give us exactly what we wanted, even incorporating songs that weren't in their repertoire. Going above and beyond what was asked of them, they even met and rehearsed with our cousin John to perform our first dance, something that Jeff and I had envisioned in our first year of dating.

When the day came, the band arrived early and happily assisted with recorded music as our guests arrived, throughout our ceremony (including my walk down the aisle) and during the cocktail hour. We never felt uncomfortable discussing anything with the group.  They are the friendliest and most professional group we've ever had the pleasure working with.

At the end of the evening, with all our friends and family on the dance floor, it felt like friends were performing for us - friends who had a lifetime of knowledge to give us everything we wanted on the most important day of our lives.
 
We are happy to encourage everyone else to work with this band, as we now affectionately call them friends.

On Friday June 28th 2008, the Friends For Life Foundation held its 3rd Annual Charity Benefit in support of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Oncology Clinic at the Hospital for Sick Children.  Our event took place at the Historic Berkley Church in downtown Toronto.

 

This year’s event was extremely successful!  That evening, we raised $65,000 gross revenue for our two charity beneficiaries.

 

Steve, Erick and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sonic Playground for their great performance at our event!  Your stage presence was fantastic and your musical talents created the very energy that Steve, Erick and I were hoping to achieve.  Simply put - you guys were incredible!  Everyone was blown away!  We are still hearing about how great you were.

 

We can not possibly find the words to demonstrate to you how grateful we are to all of you.  Without a doubt, you rocked our party!

Sonic Playground came highly recommended to play at our annual company Christmas Banquet held in November of 2007, and I can honestly say they were a pleasure to deal with and are an amazing foursome.

 

I would recommend Sonic Playground in a heartbeat!  From the first time I spoke to Jay in regards to the event, he was nothing but professional. The band did an excellent job and we were very impressed. They kept everyone on the dance floor with a great mix of oldies and current songs.  We received so many compliments not only on the music, but on the professionalism as well.

 

I can honestly say that aside from being extremely talented musicians, Sonic Playground is one of the classiest bands I have ever seen.

Sonic Playground is a fantastic band and we would recommend them to anyone!   After being very impressed with their performance at a local establishment, we approached them to see if they would consider playing at our wedding. They graciously accepted even though the wedding was out of town. They were very approachable, friendly and professional while arranging the logistics.

 

With their diverse repertoire, they worked with us to create a song list that would appeal to a wide range of music tastes. The best part of all is they know how to create the perfect party atmosphere.  The musicianship was top notch and they were flexible and accommodating during the evening when things didn't go according to schedule.

 

Our guests (of ALL ages) LOVED the band and some even said it was the best wedding they have been to - largely due to the fun and energetic dance party hosted by Sonic Playground.

 

Thank you guys so much for being a part of our wedding day and making it as memorable as it was!!

Sonic Playground is perhaps one of the most talented bands I have seen in quite some time.  I had been looking for a band that is energetic, diversified in their material, professionals at their craft, and of course, willing to have some fun as well to play at our client event.  Sonic sets the bar for these characteristics.  Jay, Tim, Greg and Carolyn are nothing short of dedicated musicians - artists for that matter - that understand relationships with clients and that first impressions are the most important ones you can make.
 
At Bloomberg, we often host clients at seminars and the post-event gatherings are vital to communicating and building relationships.  Sonic Playground received the highest of accolades and compliments of how much fun they were, how talented the band is and questions about where they could be seen next.  The show was a huge success for Bloomberg and our clients.  I would highly recommend Sonic Playground for other events hosted by our firm and count them all as very good friends.  You will not be disappointed.  Satisfaction guaranteed!  Thanks again, Sonic!!!

Sonic Playground have played numerous events here at Blue Mountain, including Employee Parties, Women's Fitness Week, New Years Eve, and weddings.  Their song list is extensive and it's great how they adapt to the crowd.  People are always up dancing.  The band is very professional to work with, making it very easy to recommend them.  That, and the fact thay they are GREAT!!
