The Walk-ins

Joe & the walk-ins were absolutely amazing! Joe knows his stuff & was able to assist us with choosing songs & even the timeline of the day. On the day of he kept us running on time & kept the events (and guests) moving on schedule. The music was absolutely great and they kept people on the dance floor all night. We received so many compliments on the band and we would recommend them to anyone More...

Joe Matise and the Walk-Ins were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We booked them without ever hearing them live because we were so impressed with Joe's professionalism, organization, friendliness, and general competence with all things party! During our first meeting with him, he said "I don't want you thinking about anything on your big day, if anyone has problems or concerns they come to me and I will solve them." We were able to put our confidence in him and his crew that they would make the reception run as smoothly as possible. And they did - Joe provided constant gentle reminders of timing throughout the night so that I never felt rushed but also never felt behind schedule. He makes a great MC and his transitions were wonderful. And the music - he kept everyone on the dance floor even during the band's breaks when a playlist was on. Also, I wanted to surprise my husband with a song during dinner accompanied by the band, and texted Joe ahead of time about this. He immediately was encouraging and supportive of my plan and it went off without a hitch (apart from me almost breaking down in tears multiple times during the performance)! I highly recommend the Walk-Ins for your wedding, as they will provide not only great music but also wonderful organization, MC-ing, and a sense of peace that the night will go exactly how it is meant to because if anything happens Joe and his crew will fix it without you even knowing. Pure professionalism! More...

The absolute best decision ever - they are amazing. We had a smaller wedding (less than 100 people) and it didn't even feel like it - the dance floor was PACKED. We got the full band (plus horns & female singer) and they just killed it. We would recommend them any day. Joe was a pleasure and it was a wonderful experience. More...
