Short story: HIRE BLIND DATE.

Longer story: We saw Blind Date perform at a friend’s wedding and immediately knew we wanted to hire them. We were only a couple of months out from our wedding, so we got incredibly lucky that they had an opening available for our date.

It’s hard to convey via words how Blind Date set the entire mood of the reception, keeping everyone on the dance floor throughout the night. We had over 200 guests and Blind Date kept almost all of them on the dance floor with how good they were!

Mark was so easy to work with and scheduled check-in calls with us to ensure that we were on the same page for the vibe of the night. The band has such a wide repertoire of music, which is what makes them ideal for any kind of event.

We had wedding guests (and vendors) tell us over and over again that Blind Date was the best band they’d ever seen perform and could not believe a wedding band could be that fun, versatile and talented. Even our venue, which hosts hundreds of weddings a year, told us that Blind Date was the most energetic band they’d seen, and they’d be recommending them to future couples.

Blind Date was also able to work seamlessly with our DJ, passing off their equipment for our DJ to plug in during their breaks (we wanted Latin music during the breaks so hired a DJ that could do that).

As two brides, we were conscious of hiring LGBT-friendly vendors and we can vouch that Blind Date was just that! We were always treated with kindness and excitement about our upcoming wedding.

We will never forget getting on the stage and singing songs alongside the band members and our families. Our wedding night would not have been the same without them.

I was a little iffy about having a band, I was so worried about people not dancing or not having a fun time. Boy was I wrong. This band was absolutely incredible!!! I had so many people asking me their name and commenting on how fun it was. My sister told me she has never been to a wedding where people never left the dance floor. The band really made this wedding amazing. Due to covid we only had about 53 people total and we were so worried for nothing. The band had me the groom up on stage singing and dancing with them. We had gone through their list of songs and marked which ones we liked/disliked, but with all the craziness of the wedding I never got around to sending it. This made me even more nervous because I hoped they wouldnt play things no one liked. Again, so wrong. They knew exactly what to play, they played classic rock, current pop, 90's music, some Motown, R&B, Sinatra for dinner set. They knew what would get people dancing. My husband who is a huge Alabama fan got pulled up on stage to sing sweet home Alabama. He loved it! We both agreed all night that this was the perfect choice. We were absolutely blown away with them! Definitely a must book for your wedding

On 5/11/19, Blind Date out of Austin, TX played at my daughter's wedding reception. They were incredible. Chelsea and Taz's vocals were impeccable. The musicians were great. And, their willingness to allow the bride and groom to share the stage at times made the event even more personal and memorable for all of us.

I know one our first calls when planning our next daughter's wedding will be to Mark and his band mates.
