On May 11, 2011, TBS ordered The Wedding Band to series with a 10-episode order.[8] Guest stars set to appear in season one include: Megan Fox, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Kurtwood Smith, Donald Faison, Ashley Williams and Molly Sims.[9]
On January 22, 2013, Wedding Band was canceled by TBS, citing poor ratings.[10]
Wedding Band received mixed reviews on Metacritic with a score of 61 out of 100 based on 12 critics' reviews.[11] Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times said: "'Wedding Band' plays too long but has a good beat".[12] In the Daily News, David Hinckley Smith stated the "jokes flow nicely, the music is fun, and the pop culture references will make almost everyone smile."[13] In The New York Times, Neil Genzlinger stated that "Here are two things you don’t see very often: an hourlong television comedy and a scripted sitcom on Saturday night that is worth watching!"
