I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty!

I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty! We had Funk Almighty play at our wedding and they were easily the highlight of the night. The energy, song selection, and sheer talent were unbelievable! Daryl, the band manager, is highly communicative and helped tailor music for every aspect of our day; we had an acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for cocktail hour, and their 10-person band for the reception. We also used Funk Almighty's MC service for the evening and Jared did a fantastic job ensuring the events stayed on schedule. What sets Funk Almighty apart from other bands is their energy, they had everyone on the dance floor! Our guests raved about the music and I can confidently say they were right, Funk Almighty is the best!

2024 bride in Denver

Funk Almighty absolutely KILLED IT at our wedding. I can’t even tell you how many guests, both parents/family friends and peers, came up to us to tell us how incredible they were. They bring immaculate vibes and even came out to jam on the dance floor with us for a song which was SO fun. Incredible quality for the value and Daryl, the primary point of contact, was very responsive, flexible, and made sure the night was what we wanted. I’d 100% recommend them to any other couples looking for a band and would use them again in a heartbeat. -Original review on Zola.com

Top Notch Experience

Funk Almighty was no doubt the best booking we made for our wedding. The band was electric and had a sound that can only be made from a group that plays together consistently. Their old funky classics and new hits were excellently played and made the dance floor the place to be! Some of our guests said their favorite part of the reception was the band, just watching them play and entertain was a great show. From initial inquiry, to final performance, they were responsive and professional. They performed live the songs for our first dance along with the father/bride and mother/groom dances as well. Overall they are a major talent and perform a terrific set, all while remaining in budget. Let this review be the one to get you to book this band, you will not be disappointed!
