Caroline T - Wedding 6.23.18

Wow! This band was everything I could have dreamed of and more on my big day! They were so much fun and kept the entire party dancing all night long! There wasn’t one person that did not enjoy this band. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Lily H - Wedding 6.2.18

FatPocket was easily one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding! Music was very important to us for our reception, and our goal was to have guests on the dance floor all night. Thanks to FatPocket, we succeeded! FatPocket is easy to communicate with, reliable, and followed our do not play/play list, though we also wanted to make sure they had artistic freedom! They were energetic, learned songs for us, and played on the dance floor. They were great for all ages. Our guests raved about FatPocket —actually, they’re still raving over a month later! Would highly recommend to any bride and groom

Melissa F - Wedding 5.26.18

Wow. Wow. WOW!!!! FatPocket was the icing on the cake of our wedding day. When I say we had a party... we had a PARTY!! We had a wide range of ages at our reception and EVERYONE was on the dance floor from the beginning to the end of the night. They worked the crowd and the horns even came into the audience to play Proud Mary. Was the highlight of the night! Our guests are gushing about the band and saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to. They were the best choice we made for our day and soooo easy to work with. Peter was extremely responsive and so easy to work with. They were so attentive to myself and my husband during our reception and made sure we were taken care of. Many of my guests asked for their contact info to play at future events. I couldn't imagine my day without them. Thank you Peter and all the guys/gal in FatPocket for the best night of our lives!

Meredith M - Wedding 4.14.18

FatPocket is seriously the best wedding band in St. Louis. We are so happy we chose them for our big day. We wanted our reception to be lively and our guests energetic, which is exactly what happened. FatPocket kept not only the bride and groom on the dance floor all night but the entire guest list out there too. They turned the Art Museum into the best party we could have asked for! They play a wide variety of songs that keep all generations entertained. We even had a few engaged couples tell us FatPocket made them decide to switch from a wedding DJ to band. Best decision we made!

Kitty O - Wedding 12.31.17

FatPocket performed at my New Year's Eve wedding and everybody LOVED them!!! I had countless compliments on how good they were. They were great performers and I loved how they utilized our reception space.

Jamie N - Wedding 11.18.17

I would have written this review earlier, but 6 weeks after our wedding and I'm still wiping the smile off my face and resting my legs from dancing all night to the best wedding band the world has ever known. FatPocket was incredible! They started the night off by nailing our special dance songs (Prince and James Taylor back-to-back really highlighted their range) and then brought the funk all night long! The energy was addicting, bringing everyone to the dance floor. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding band, we are so thankful for FatPocket and recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Leah N - Wedding 10.21.17

People cannot stop talking about how great the band was!! I even had a special request for the band to learn a song that my dad could sing and they executed on that request seamlessly! I will recommend them to every bride that's planning her wedding for years to come. Seriously, if budget allows or there's wiggle room for entertainment for your reception, definitely go with a band (specifically FatPocket!) over a DJ. They brought so much life and fun to our reception that just flat wouldn't have been there if we had chosen a DJ for our entertainment. I can't wait for my little sister to get married so FatPocket can make a reappearance at one of our family weddings!!

Emily O - Wedding 8.12.17

FatPocket is literally a perfect wedding band. They played everything from Motown to classic rock to rap (current kind and early nineties kind, so double bonus) to pop hits to dance party favorites. And they were SO engaged with the crowd - the dance floor was full from the second they started playing to four hours later when I had to forcibly kick people off of it. Exceptional choice and honestly can't believe how good the price point was compared to other bands in St. Louis, especially given FatPocket's range of talent and professionalism. 

Amanda S - Wedding 5.13.17

Wow what an unbelievable night!!! We had the most amazing time at our wedding on 5/13/17, and we truly believe that the band sets the tone (hehe pun was definitely intended) for the night. You guys did a phenomenal job and the energy level was consistently high! Can't tell you how many compliments we got about the band! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night!! 5 stars FOR SURE! 

Leslie L - Wedding 5.26.17

FatPocket was the band for our wedding in May 2017 and they were great - our guests loved them too! They were also easy to work with - we worked with Peter leading up to our wedding and he was very responsive to any questions as well!

Riverfront Times Best Coverband 2016!

FatPocket is a full-scale band that brings more energy to the dance floor than any 5-Hour Energy shot ever could. Comprised of Jason Hansen, Jeff Simpher, Jahi Eskridge, Chris Wilson, Mike Curtis, Ryan Murray, Bill Henderson, Peter Schankman and lead singer Eric “E” Williams, the group can put its full-horn, heavy-beat spin on any song from the Isley Brothers’ “Shout” to Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk," with dance moves that make you feel like you're marching in a second line down Bourbon Street. They spread their talent far and wide, from summer concerts in Innsbrook to late nights at Lumiere Live – and most recently made the band an even ten members with the addition of female singer Nikki Glenn. Seeing them on stage, it's clear that nearly twelve years together has given FatPocket a trusted formula of good music and great attitude that works every time.

Rachel B – Wedding 4.22.17 

This band was amazing!! As soon as they started playing, everyone was on the dance floor and no one stopped dancing the entire time. They switched it up through out the night and came into the crowd to dance, sing and play – which was super awesome – and every song was perfect and kept the energy up all night!! We got so so so many compliments on our band and they seriously made our night extra special and beyond fun! I would hire them again in a heart beat! 

Chad G – Birthday 9.10.16 

We can’t thank you enough for being there. You made everyone’s night. 

Kelly S – Wedding 7.30.16 

We had FatPocket for our wedding band in July. They were amazing!! I can’t tell you how many people are still coming up to us saying it was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding. I couldn’t leave the dance floor. It was one amazing song after another. Lot’s of energy, wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

Abby G – Wedding 5.29.16 

FatPocket was the perfect choice for our wedding! From the second the dining room doors opened, our guests danced all night and enjoyed every minute. The band not only learned special songs for our formal dances, but emceed the night expertly, kept the crowd dancing (and singing) the entire time, played a huge variety of songs that catered to everyone, and looked like they were having fun while doing it! Guests loved it and are still talking about it two weeks later. Thank you so much, FatPocket! 

Erin K – Wedding 5.14.16 

We had such an amazing time, and you guys were fabulous. Thanks for all your hard work, and being so open to letting my brother and Cork play with you. We got many compliments on the band. Glad you managed to have some fun too! 

Kassie H – Wedding 4.30.16 

FatPocket did a fantastic job entertaining our friends and family at our wedding. If you’re looking for high energy, a band that plays across genres and keeps everyone on the dance floor all night, FatPocket takes the cake! They were open to traveling to our wedding, their manager was very responsive and the result was amazing. Thanks to FatPocket!

Lauren R – Wedding 

We at Events Luxe want to thank you for your incredible talent this past Sunday at Julie and Cameron’s wedding celebration! We could not have pulled off the amazing event without you! Julie and Cameron loved everything, and could not have been happier with their special day – so thank you. 

Tiffany H – Wedding 

I wanted to thank you for the GREAT work you guys did for their event. Everyone had a fabulous time and I was impressed by the band. I appreciated you guys keeping on the timeline, the band made announcements and emceeing flowed nicely, and everyone looked and sounded great. Lots of guests were asking who the band was and where they could see you again. I hope to use FatPocket again, we were truly impressed. 

Jeff J. – Wedding 5.30.15 (planner) 

Thanks for last night! Everyone there said you were the best wedding band they’d ever seen, including guests from LA and NYC. 

Allison M. - Wedding 5.16.15 (planner) 

I just wanted to thank you and the entire band for a great night last night. You were FANTASTIC and I will definitely be keeping you in mind for future client referrals. I kept having guests come up and ask “who is this band???” and then typing in the name on their phones! Tell the guys they made the night. I hope we get to work together again soon!!! 

Richard B – Holiday Party 

You’re performance at our recent holiday party was outstanding.  From the time I heard you guys down at the Cape I was determined to bring your music to my friends and associates in Terre Haute.  They’re still talking about your great sound and the unique experience of listening to a full band with such tight arrangements. 

Let me include special thanks for your professionalism and the group personality that is so much a part of your efforts to help everybody get their funk on! 

Mercy Hospital Gala 2014 

You guys were awesome!! Thank you so much for coming early in the afternoon to load in. Made the transition and entire set go perfectly! With the weather looming over everyone’s minds Saturday night, it was great that you still had a crowd at 11:30. Speaks volumes for the energy and party you guys put forward!
