Made our wedding SO much fun!

We hired Blockhead for our wedding on 10/15/22 and it was easily the best decision we made in the planning process. Can’t say enough good things about this group of talented musicians and our friends and family can’t stop talking about how awesome the band was. From taking care of the sound/gear for the ceremony, acoustic for cocktail hour, jamming out at the reception and DJ-ing our fave hits during the breaks - they did it all. They were professional, responsive, easy going and just an absolute pleasure to work with.

Talented musicians and a great performance!

Blockhead was AMAZING. We cannot recommend them enough, and we credit them with making our wedding SO MUCH FUN. They played such a great variety of music that we had teens and seniors breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Every guest we’ve spoken to since the wedding can’t stop raving about how fantastic they were. Several people told us they don’t usually like wedding bands but Blockhead was a totally different experience. We love that they perform locally so we can go for a date night or out with friends to see them again! They also performed an acoustic duet for our ceremony and cocktail hour and our guests were recording videos of them playing and singing along. The whole experience was easy, personal and exciting. It felt more like a special event to have a great band play at our reception versus a DJ. Anyone who is on the fence about booking a band or having trouble finding the right one, look no further. Blockhead is everything you need and more for an incredible value!

John and Todd were easily one of the greatest experiences at our wedding!
The acoustics for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner were absolutely perfect. It was good music of great quality!
All correspondents go through John and he is quick to respond via email. He even set up a phone call because we were unable to meet in person.
They were so easy to work with in person. We had a few last minute changes, no problem.
Would highly recommend!! John and Todd were the perfect mix of acoustic music and DJ-ing when it came time to dance. Thank you both!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
