    A Must Have Band For Your Wedding!

    My husband and I had an incredible experience working with Ken and The Funktion! We originally heard them perform at a friends wedding and reached out when it came time to plan our own. Ken was incredible responsive, flexible, and beyond easy to work with, not to mention the best price for the best value! The band was perfectly on time for our wedding, handled the schedule of our day to a T, and had a phenomenal performance! We still have friends and family a month later commenting on how much they loved the music and many reaching out for their own weddings! We cannot recommend this band enough, they made our day all the more special!

    Such an amazing band!

    I got SO many compliments from guests and every single one of my other vendors about how amazing The Funktion band was at my wedding! We were blown away with how perfectly they did all the songs requested, and were so flexible with the many odd song requests I had. Our venue said this was one of the best wedding entertainments they had see in a long time! Ken was so communicative and patient with us through the whole process. I cannot recommend them enough!

    The Funktion Wedding and Dance Band's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kindest of words Erin ! We wish you and Steven the happiest of lives together!!

    Absolutely amazing band!!!

    Can’t say enough about Ken and his band! They blew the roof off of our wedding! From start to finish they were amazing. Our guests could not stop talking about how good they were. Many guests said they were sore the next day from dancing so much!

    Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. Great sounds, great vocalists. Ken, the band manager who is also the trumpet player, was extremely accommodating with our selection of vocalists and how we wanted the ceremony and cocktail hour to run. Everything was great. Thanks so much for making our wedding even more memorable. And yes, everyone was on the dance floor. I would highly recommend The Funktion.

    BEST. BAND. EVER.
    We could barely get our guests to sit down for dinner! They were having too much fun!
    The minute the band started playing, the guests started dancing. It was an unbelievable night and the band was absolutely fantastic.

    If you like great music, fun dancing and happy guests, do yourself a favor and hire them!

    The BEST decision was to hire this band!

    Hiring The Funktion Band was the BEST decision for our disco theme party. They navigated all of the timelines of the night seamlessly even though there were some delays due to the venue but they quickly pivoted and surprised us by throwing in some individual performances while we were eating dinner. Amazing. All of the guests were raving about the band all night and after. They truly made the party what it was. I also loved that they helped dress up with the disco theme! Ken was amazing to work with as well. They are true professionals and are all so talented! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to plan another party to be able to see them again !

    We keep looking through friends pictures of our wedding to see all the funny moments. We've got pictures of the ceremony, the cocktail hour, first dance, father daughter dance and cake cutting. None of the actual party. Why? BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS DANCING! Surely a good problem to have. Everyone keeps raving about how great the band was. I'm still amazed that the Funktion could get people from 10 - 80 to dance to "Love Tran" and a Rihanna/Whitney Houston Mash Up. What a great experience with the Funktion!

    The Funktion is a powerful dance band with a style all to themselves. I've had the opportunity to provide my services as Videographer and ended up with a demo I will use for my own use years to come. Shooting any live band is a large task at hand to achieve a polished product. The Function not only provided Energy, Stage Presence and flawless live sound, but also created a lively, fun, energetic ambiance in the room. A
    Great band for Any Party or Show!

    Ken, with the Funktion, was awesome to work with. From the beginning he was extremely responsive over email and when it came to work out the details for our wedding he was great. The music was extremely important at our wedding and we wanted everyone dancing the whole night and that's exactly what we got! The energy the band brought was amazing and their sound was spot on. They had an eclectic mix of songs and were great about learning our requests. If you are looking for a band guests will be talking about for years after the big day the Funktion is the band!

    Our guests are still raving about the band. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were executed better than I could have imagined and the Funktion worked with our DJ seamlessly. The thing I appreciated most was that they didn't need much direction for me at a time when my other wedding vendors were asking a million questions. I just gave them the play/ don't play list and they completely understood our vision. Also, I appreciated them learning our favorite songs as well. I booked the band based on the performance I experienced at the friend's wedding last year, and the service experience provided for my wedding matched the amazing performance. We will be recommending the Funktion to all of our friends!

    The Funktion was amazing and made our wedding reception a hit. From the very beginning, Ken was easy to work with and answered all questions that we had. The Funktion was able to play a wide variety of music and had people on their feet the entire night (which is exactly what we wanted!!) We've received countless compliments about the band from our friends and family; people who normally would never dance were up having a blast.

    We can't say thank you enough for making our night one to remember always!

    The funkiest, most fun, and sensational band- a breath of fresh air and tired feet from dancing!

    Funktion was everything we had hoped for and more! If you're thinking of chooseing a band for your wedding, look no further because Funktion is your answer. We had people dancing from the minute they started playing and were begging for more by the end of the night. I'm not sure anyone even had a chance to sit down, that's how good the music was. Guests were raving about the band long after the wedding was over. Ken is super responsive and will work with you to make your wedding night perfect.

    The Funktion Band was in one word AMAZING! My fiance and I really wanted an awesome band that would keep the party going and have all our guests dancing. I researched a LOT of wedding bands in the NJ/NYC area and I came across The Funktion online during my research. We watched a few of their video clips online and we were immediately hooked! They definitely stood out among all the other bands which seemed so similar. The Funktion has a unique edge to them, and every band member is extremely talented! Once we reached out and met with Ken the trumpet player, he was so easy to work with! We are both really into Music, and Ken worked with all our requests. They played such a variety of music that EVERYONE, I really mean everyone was on the dance floor the entire night!!! We actually wanted them to keep playing when the night ended, because the party was still going strong! Their brass section is second to none and the vocalists on point. The trombone player was the BEST and was dancing up a storm with us! Everyone said they were one of the best wedding bands they've heard. If I could do it again, I'd definitely hire the Funktion! You won't be disappointed!

    The Funktion Wedding and Dance Band's reply:

    Awesome- Thank you Emily!! We had a wonderful time at your wedding! Best of luck to you and Brendan

    Awesome, amazing, wonderful band! Everyone was dancing before we even got into the room, and continued for the entire night. All my guests kept asking "How did you find them?" and raving about how great they were! Ken was helpful throughout the planning process and always responded quickly to any questions I had, he also was able to work with our budget, play a wide variety of music, and sing all of our special requests. The Funktion made my wedding the incredibly fun, more like a party (which is exactly what we were going for). They will work to make your wedding special and exactly what you want. If you watch them play you can really see they love what they do, they have fun, they bring high energy, smiles, great music, and you won't be able to resist the urge to dance!
