Review for Will and the Exclamation – Wedding at Rosemary Beach, FL (October 2024)
PreWedding Logistics
From the moment we booked Will and the Exclamation, we knew we were in great hands. Leila, the band manager, expertly handled all the logistics in the months leading up to our wedding. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfectly accounted for.
Will himself went above and beyond to make us feel confident and at ease. He expressed genuine gratitude and enthusiasm for playing at our event, which meant so much to us. He even offered to meet with us ahead of the wedding to discuss our vision and ensure everything would exceed our expectations. This level of collaboration was so comforting—it completely eased any worries we had and allowed us to fully trust them with such an important part of our day.
Performance
What can we say about the performance except WOW? Will and the Exclamation delivered a night that was truly unforgettable. The energy was through the roof, and from the very first song, the dance floor was packed. They nailed every single detail, including learning and performing our first dance song perfectly, which was such a special moment.
They didn’t just play music—they MC’ed the entire evening seamlessly, ensuring the night flowed flawlessly. Their professionalism and charisma made everything feel effortless. Guests were raving about the band, and we lost count of how many people came up to us saying it was the best wedding band they’d ever seen.
The joy, energy, and sheer talent of this group kept everyone dancing until the very last note. It wasn’t just a performance; it was an experience, and one that we and our guests will always remember.
Recommendation
We cannot recommend Will and the Exclamation highly enough. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to making our day beyond perfect were unmatched. If you want a band that will leave you and your guests talking about your wedding for years to come, look no further. Thank you, Will and the Exclamation, for giving us a flawless, incredibly memorable night!

Hi Lauren I will let the boys respond separately but from my perspective (parent), we could not have asked for a better set of musicians. Will was extraordinary and transcended all of our age groups which was not an easy task.
I wish I could have sat and listened more
Will was a master at choosing the songs to fit the mood absolutely perfectly. He laid the groundwork with the guests entrance and effortlessly matched the flow of the evening.
I would not hesitate to hire them again and will gladly 'sing' their highest praises.
Will & The Exclamation are true professionals and artists and it was a pleasure dealing with you and Will.
Thank you.

Will & The Exclamation were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day SO much fun! Will was incredible to work with and everyone had so much fun. We were truly blown away with them I wish I had another event coming up to book them for!! I will definitely book them again when that opportunity presents itself, as well as share your/their information with friends.

Lauren,
I don’t even have the words to express how truly incredible W!ll & The Exclamation was. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and i’ve never experienced a band quite this amazing. They were fun, outgoing, they brought such great energy and they let me get up on stage several times!!! Highlight of the night! I want to get married again and experience it all one more time!
Thank you so much again for setting this up. I will forever refer you guys!!

Hi Lauren,
There are not enough words to describe how incredible the band was at our wedding. We attended a wedding a year ago where they performed, and they were so good we wanted to have them at ours. They were great then, but they were spectacular at our wedding – I did not think they could get better, but they did. The dance floor was packed the entire night and that’s exactly what we wanted – a giant dance party – and they delivered. Every song they played matched our vibe perfectly. Without requesting it they played some of our favorite songs and it made us so happy. They also played all of our requested songs, which is greatly appreciated. They do a fantastic job of playing a mix of old hits, today’s hits and millennial anthems (we are millennials and the millennial throw backs were perfect). I continue to get texts from guests talking about how amazing the band was and that they are the best wedding band they have ever seen and we agree! Not only do they play, but they also do choreography and it was like being at a private concert just for us. I handed out these funky pink glasses during the party pump and every member wore them for the rest of the evening and I loved it! Little touches like that mean a lot. I cannot recommend this band enough for not only a wedding, but any event! I hope I get to see them again. We are happy to give further testimony or reviews if needed as I cannot recommend them enough.
Kyle and I cannot thank them enough for being part of the best night of our lives and for making it the hype, dance party rager we had dreamed of.

Leila and Will,
The kindest words ever oh my gosh! Your whole team has proven yet again how to make an event run so flawlessly from the day the client signs on until you head out the door from the venue on Saturday night. Thank you to your team as well for being so punctual, kind, and receptive of all of the venue's rules and so go with the flow of the timeline. We see so many bands but our whole staff can confidently say the pleasure is OURS to have you all there! Leila, you will have to make the trip some time :)
See you all again hopefully real soon!

Lauren,
Our whole experience with you and the band was superb!! From the booking to the details and of course, showtime, everything was topnotch!
We have received many, many comments from the guests saying how wonderful the band and the event as a whole were. The musicians, the vocalists, the choreography, the interaction with the guests, and how well they read the room were excellent! The music was very well performed and kept the audience super involved! I had the chance to shake W!ll’s hand at the end of the event 😊
I hope that they had a great experience with the venue, the green room and the food we provided. Your help throughout the whole process was very professional and timely! Thank you for that!
We will, for sure, keep you in mind for our events.
Thank you all! 😊
Thanks,
Gloria

Hi there
They were AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved every minute of working with them!
From the numerous back and forth and phone calls, they were patient and kind and knowledgeable. Then, when they got on site they were early, kind, etc!
Plus!! Will did a surprise move by jumping off the stage and coming into the dinner area to pull guests in it was just wonderful!
High remarks and please recommend them to me for future events when we request bands!
Loved them!!

Lauren,
Working with you was an excellent experience and you are so charming. I loved the banter back and forth and everything was very professionally handled.
Will and the exclamation was OUTSTANDING. They were a phenomenal band. EVERYONE commented on how great the music was. They have a fun presence and are engaging with the crowd. We LOVED them. Easy to talk to and energetic. I would recommend them to anyone. One of my guests said “the band was phenomenal!”.
They played the “hora” to perfection. My husband had requested they play an OLD favorite song of our daughters from around 2008, the Barbie girl song, and they did a great version.
Not one thing to fault.

Hi Lauren,
The band was AWESOME!!!!! I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful they are to work with.
I was on every email between them and the Bride & Groom and their due diligence was incredible. They really went deeper into the details more than any other band and in a good way. They didn’t over step what the Bride & Groom wanted. Also, on site they are the nicest group of people. AND THE MUSIC!!! I am a little mad!! The next day my knees were killing me from dancing on the side. LOL!!!! They may have just become my new #1.
Thank you for recommending them to my client and I will be recommending them again! And of course ALWAYS Sam Hill!

Will Preyer is a true professional in the world of musical performance. It is rare that you come across a vocalist and band who are the whole package. Incredible vocals, work ethic, great attitude, and Will is very handsome! Kayte Burgess (Toronto, CA), 8/27/22
Will Preyer is both an absolute genius performer and producer! I have performed with Will for nearly 17 years now and with every show his entertaining skills are exceptional. He certainly knows how to engage with his audience. Chris Mitchell (Atlanta, GA), 8/13/22
Seeing Will & The Exclamation perform was amazing. Will brings great energy to the stage and I can tell he is having fun. Will is the kind of performer you don’t see everyday. His style, charisma and talent all shine very bright while he is on stage!
Chris Davis (Houston, TX), 7/16/22
Talented, driven, determined, persistent and consistent…These are the qualities that come to mind when I think of Will Preyer. From performances to music production and podcasts, everything we’ve done together is given nothing less than his best. When he’s in performance mode he knows exactly what to do to captivate the audience and put on a great show, as well as in front of the camera. It’s a pleasure and an honor to work with an elite professional like Will.
