Knocked it out of the park! 10/10

Buford T. Judd and The Dumptrucks were an outstanding team to work with for our September wedding. They received exceptional feedback from all guests and several guests asked for their contact info after hearing their music and lively vibes. They were extremely responsive to our needs, prompt in their communication and arrival time, and put on one helluva show! This Chicago band exceeded the bar in entertainment and customer service and would recommend them to anyone in need of booking a band for any event. Thank you, Chris and Team!

Danced all night long!

From start to finish, these guys kept the dance flooring full and played the best variety of music! There really is nothing better than a live band and these guys killed it. Made the experience personalized, communicated with us, played all of our requests, set-up and tear down was seamless and we truly just had the best night!

Shoutout to Buford T for making our reception the absolute best!

Great people, great music!

Chris and the band were absolutely perfect on our wedding day! First of all, they were very friendly, responsive and professional from the start. Second, they were prompt to arrive for set up to the site and even had to do a quick shift from outdoors to indoors when there was a little bit of rain, but they did it so fast it hardly disrupted the night. They MC'd and gave the announcements for the night and they did a great job. Finally, the music was amazing. They're all so talented! We had so many people compliment us on the great music days and weeks after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

Hire these guys!

You dont have to be a musician to know that Buford T Judd & The Dumptrucks have talent!

We hired them for our outdoor wedding reception on a local patio and they sounded amazing!

Chris coordinated the timing well in advance and provided guidance on how many musicians we would need. They also sent us a list of about 200 songs to choose from so the band could curate a custom play list geared toward our party.

My husband turned this into a fun weekend game, sipping wine and listening to all the songs they could play.

The day of the party the band showed up about 2 hours early to set up and played almost the entire 3 hours with a few intermissions.

Everyone at the party enjoyed the music and commented on how great they sound!

Thank you for your professionalism and the excellent show!

Awesome Wedding Band!!!

My wife and I booked them for our wedding ceremony and reception. They handled all audio and music playlists for the ceremony. Chris did a great job of emceeing all the necessary moments throughout the reception as well. Lastly they performed live for 4 hours during our reception. Guests as well as hotel staff throughout the night and days following were commenting on how good they were and how much fun they had. They were the full package and everything we could have asked for, which allowed us to just enjoy the day/night. I would recommend them for any occasion where a live band is wanted.

They helped make our special day way better!

They were amazing at our wedding and we would easily hire them again! They responded in a timely manner and checked in multiple times prior to our day to go over the plans and name pronunciations. Their performance was awesome and we received many compliments afterwords from guests saying that the band was perfect!

Rocked the night away

All of our guests were SO IMPRESSED with the band. We got more compliments about them than anything else. They were prompt, hassle free, stuck to the songs we selected, and REALLY good. I recommend 10/10 especially if you want a band that doesn't play the "typical" wedding band songs.
