Things people said....
'I can’t rate Anthem Band NZ highly enough! We had an 1950s-themed end-of-year event, so the band learned new material and even dressed up to join in the vibe.
From the very first song to the third encore they had the crowd on the dancefloor. The band was energetic, fun and engaging and were integral to the success of the evening.
I highly recommended Anthem Band NZ to anyone wanting a polished, yet down-to-earth band for their special event. They really delivered!'

Anthem was the perfect choice to close out our wedding reception. They had a super professional setup and played a wide range of songs that all our guests could sing and dance along to. We particularly loved how interactive they were with our guests and how they kept the party going right until the last minute. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

" We had Anthem Band perform at our Tompkins Wake Christmas party, and they were absolutely amazing! Their vocals were incredible, and they brought such a fun, high-energy vibe to the night. Everyone was up dancing and singing along—it really made the party something special. Wayne and the team were super easy to work with and completely nailed it from start to finish. If you’re looking for a band to bring great music and a fun atmosphere to your event, we can’t recommend Anthem Band enough "
