Tampa Bay Wedding Entertainment Spotlight: Phase5 Band

Hosting a memorable Tampa Bay wedding is all about experience and nothing compares to having live entertainment at your wedding reception. For those couples who place an emphasis on live music, they'll love the professionalism, experience and energy that Phase5 Band provides. This five to nine piece band specializes exclusively in weddings and special events, performing at 80+ weddings per year.

Phase5 Band includes two lead singers, a male and female, giving couples an even wider range of songs to choose from. They can learn any song for your special dances to make the your wedding day personalized and memorable.

“We loved having Phase5 Band at our wedding! The lead singer Josh Walther was amazing to work with. We had very unique requests, and they were able to learn the songs for us. Josh and the band knocked it out of the park during our first dance; they really blew us away. It was such a special moment; one of my all-time favorites from our wedding that I will cherish forever. Everyone loved their energy and vibe; our guests were on the dance floor the whole night. I am so grateful to have had Phase5 at our reception; they were absolutely fantastic!” -Lauren and Joe | Contemporary Blush Pink and Burgundy St. Pete Beach Wedding | Don CeSar

The band offers music options for the entire day from ceremony to cocktail to reception and can provide a DJ to play during breaks to offer the best of both worlds.

In addition to playing locally at venues around Tampa Bay, Phase5 Band has performed at events such as Ringling By The Bay, The Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Food & Wine Festival and they have even performed with the famed Beatles singer Sir Paul McCartney.

“Choosing a live band over a DJ was probably the easiest decision of the whole wedding! We chose Josh Walther & the Phase5 Band because we liked that they weren’t just a wedding band, they’re a local Tampa band! We loved going to see them play at other venues before our own wedding and knew that they were true professionals. They kept everyone dancing all night and made our wedding such a fun atmosphere.” -Jessica and Evan | Green and White South Tampa Wedding
