  • The Best Performer & Band we have EVER worked with

    •Verified review
    •Dominic I.•Dec 4, 2025

    I help our family by running two different companies that often have the need for live music. For 16 years we have hired Marlon and the Shakes to help with our events and it has been nothing less than Fantastic. So much so that we have also hired Marlon and the Shakes to help with our Family events as well including my 40th Birthday, 50th Birthday and two Celebrations of Family members Lives. Marlon and his Family & Team are more than talented musicians, they are fantastic people and we are lucky to be able to reach out time and time again to help our company or family events to be the most memorable for ourselves and our guests as well. You will be lucky to be able to contact and hire Marlon and the Shakes for any event you have coming your way. 10 stars out of 5! -Dominic

    We found MATS at a friends wedding and knew right away that we wanted them to be our wedding band! They were both affordable as an 8 piece band (but you have many options) & amazing having the wedding guests on the dance floor the entire night! Marlon coordinated everything with us and made it very easy with a template he already built. We let them choose the songs with a few do not play lists. They even let us customize the night including a song they learned for us by our request, singing happy birthday to my maid of honor, & letting my father in law sing a song with the band. It was all so memorable! I would recommend them to anyone, especially if having your wedding in the greater Chicago area!!
