Absolutely Perfect!

We first heard Funkle Jesse at our friends wedding in 2019. Ever since that night my now husband but then boyfriend looked at each other and knew we needed a live band, specifically this band. We’ve seen them play live multiple times at The Bob & Log Cabin. Once we got engaged they were some of the first vendors we locked in!! Funkle Jesse brings everyone to the dance & has music for every, age. Something about listening to live music with all the people you love is an incredible feeling. And also, who wouldn’t want to dance for the first time with their husband/wife to LIVE music?! We couldn’t even tell you the amount of compliments we’ve received on the band alone! Lastly, out of all the numerous of vendors a bride & groom work this, Funkle Jesse’s response time was INCREDIBLY fast which calmed all my nerves. They answered any & every question and even helped with song choices.
Funkle Jesse - we will always support you & continue to see you play live in!!

Love this band

We had the best time with Funkle Jesse at our wedding! They were so energetic and talented and flexible with us. Overall great to work with and GREAT to party with. We had SO many compliments from guests on how great they sounded! Not your average wedding band, instead they're a really good band that will also do a great job at your wedding.

Highlight of our Reception!

When planning our wedding, we had a few priorities, and one was live music. We saw a few bands perform live, but none of them topped Funkle Jesse! We saw them play twice locally before hiring them for our wedding, and hiring them was the best decision! They had every single person on the dance floor the entire night! Our parents, aunts, uncles, co-workers who swore they wouldn't dance at our wedding - all on the dance floor breaking it down! Funkle Jesse created such a fun atmosphere, and crushed every song they performed! I still get so many wedding guests talking about how great the band was! 10/10 RECOMMEND!

Funkle Jesse is THE wedding band

We cannot say enough great things about having Funkle Jesse play at our wedding. They kept the dance floor packed all night and had the best variety of music. Plus they were so easy to coordinate and work with, I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing with them. It's been about 3 months since our wedding and our friends still keep talking about how amazing the were and we couldn't agree more!

Made Our Wedding!

My wife and I were over-the-moon about our wedding with Funkle Jesse last weekend. Brad was incredibly easy to work with, the band was so professional and superbly talented. We received a ton of compliments, and the dance floor was packed full the whole night. I simply couldn't have asked for a better experience. They delivered 125%!!

Pick Funkle Jesse!

Oh my goodness! Picking Funkle Jesse was the best wedding decision we made! Brad was so incredibly helpful planning the best music for our special day! We asked the band to learn our song, and when I tell you, my heart exploded when they sang it - it was amazing, memorable, perfection, and had all the guests in awe. Thank you Funkle Jesse for bringing the fun, the dancing, and all the positive vibes! Simply the best!

Funkle Jesse is THE wedding band!

The decision we made to book Funkle Jesse as our wedding band was an absolute game changer. They were fantastic. From managing the music during our ceremony and bridal party entrances, to keeping the party on the dance floor all night long - they just do it all, and do it well. Not only was their set list great, but they were flexible with mixing in many of our recorded song favorites and requests too. Our friends and family were truly blown away with the experience this band helped create. We felt lucky to have had the opportunity to book them. Good people, great music and even better memories made. Better book them while you have the chance!

The Best Wedding Band

I saw Funkle Jesse perform a few times around Holland and Saugatuck and knew I needed them for my wedding. They did SUCH a good job. My dance floor was packed the entire night and dozens of my guests commented that it was the best music they have ever seen at a wedding. When the lead singer pulled out a harmonica and absolutely killed it, I almost fainted. The guitarist also performed music for the ceremony and at the cocktail hour and did a great job. The drummer Brad coordinates their shows and was super responsive, organized and easy to work with. I can't recommend Funkle Jesse enough.

The perfect band

We booked Funkle Jesse for our 8/7/21 wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! Leading up to the wedding, Brad was helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything. They did a beautiful job playing at our ceremony with the music we specially requested. Then, they blew us away and tore the house down at our reception. We got so many compliments and it meant so much to us to see our dance floor full. They were essential in running a smooth event and we couldn’t have done it without their expertise and talent. We are forever thankful for the wonderful experience and the priceless memories!! Thank you Funkle Jesse

Funkle Jesse is the BEST!

We met Funkle Jesse at our friend’s wedding in 2019 & the second Zach & I got engaged, we knew the first vendor we wanted to book was Funkle Jesse. Brad & his team are incredible to work with. They make the process stress free & exciting. They are extremely talented too! Everyone at our wedding was in awe of their talent & all the great mix of songs they play. They know how to keep people on the dance floor the entire time! We definitely plan on keeping up with their schedule so we can continue to enjoy their talents!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
