Amazing performance and so easy to work with

We had such a great time working with Funktastic Productions. They have a huge backlog of songs, and for the ones they didn't already know that were important to us, they were able to learn them quickly and put on an incredible show. They're professional, but also a lot of fun. Absolutely worth making them a part of your event.

Stop looking and book funktastic!

If I could give 100 stars I would! Mike and the entire Funktastic family are unbelievable! If you are in the process of looking for a high-energy, professional band for your event that will keep the dance floor PACKED the entire night, BOOK THEM NOW! if you don't, you are making a HUGE MISTAKE!! I'm still riding the high of my son's wedding this past weekend. I literally cried while speaking to the lead vocalist at the end of the night. I told her how much I loved our evening and it was because of them! The vocalists, musicians and sound engineers were insanely fabulous! It is now 3 days later and I still have friends and family raving about this band. They are so easy to work with as well. They take the time to listen to the bride and groom and really get a feel for the vision they have of how they want the night to be. Funktastic has a very extensive catalog of songs they know, and they are willing to learn a few new ones for your event. We wanted the band members to interact with our guests and they did. The main vocalist came out onto the dance floor and the crowd went WILD! We had countless guests tell us they were the best wedding band they have ever heard! As my friends are now the age where their kids all start to get married, I will absolutely be encouraging them to book Funktastic. I can't wait for my next two sons to get married because I have the stress of choosing the right band DONE! Thank you, Mike and the rest of Funktastic for giving us a night that we will never forget!

The highlight of our dance floor!

Mike and the Funktastic crew were So impactful on our wedding day. Mike, the owner, is so accommodating and knowledgeable and helped guide us to ensure our special day was exactly what we envisioned. DJ Aaron was a HIT!! Our guests raved about his music and playlist that kept the dance floor packed all night!

The sax + dj duo you need

Funktastic Productions might just be my new go-to recommendation for DJ and event production! The live DJ and saxophone combo was absolutely unforgettable—unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Aaron was amazing, keeping the energy high and guests entertained and dancing all night long. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their event extra special!

Look no further, this is the best band for your Wedding!

Funktastic were amazing! It’s been a month since our wedding and people are still complimenting them. They are top notch musicians of course, but what my bride and I were really impressed by was their impeccable professionalism throughout the entire process. Simply said, they are remarkably easy to work with. From the moment you begin working with them, it’s clear they want to make your day special. They provide you with an exhaustive song list for you to choose from, and on top of that they actively encourage you to pick songs for them to learn for you. So back to their musicianship, all I can say is “wow”! While we had a relatively small wedding, Funktastic made it feel like it was a full on dance party! So no matter what size your wedding is, Funktastic will supersede all of your expectations. Bonus tip: we got their jazz trio offering for our cocktail hour and they were amazing for that as well. Well worth it if you’re considering live music for that part of your wedding.

Book them!

Book them. That's it, that's the review. They are incredible, from the preparation, the pre-wedding support, the AMAZING music, and the versatility, Funktastic is incredible every step of the way! Our dance floor was packed the whole night. Well worth the price, an absolute highlight of our celebration!

(For reference we booked: 6 piece band + 3rd Vocalist + 1 Tenor Sax, Jazz Trio, & Photo Booth w/memory book)

Best Wedding Band Out There!!!

We had the pleasure of having the Funktastics for our wedding and it was an all around amazing experience. They provide an easy to use app to pick music you do and do not want. They will also learn up 7 songs of your choice that are not on their provided set-list. One of our favorite things about this band was their openness and flexibility to do something new! Both my husband and I had some requests and they were eager to help! Everyone was also super responsive and willing to meet as much as we needed. Then at the wedding they absolutely exceeded all expectations. The dance floor was full the whole time. Amazing vocals, amazing instruments, and very engaged with the crowd. 10/10 recommend!!

10/10 Experience All Around!

From start to finish our experience with Funktastic was incredible. Our wedding was almost 2 months ago and people are still commenting on the band and how great they sounded. Huge thanks to Amber for leading the party and keeping people on the dance floor all night. We will recommend Funktastic to everyone!

Book them now!

All I can say is WOW! All of our guests agreed that Funktastic was one of their favorite parts of our wedding. From the very start, Mike wanted to make our special day extra special. The dance floor on the night of the wedding was PACKED! The rap song mashup that funktastic was nothing I’ve ever heard of at a wedding and our guests LOVED it. If you want a band that is not just going to play ordinary wedding band music, then I highly recommend going with Funktastc- they are worth every penny and more. Thank you for making our wedding SO amazing!

Awesome Sax Player

We had the last minute idea of hiring a sax player to play alongside our DJ. The DJ we had already booked didn't offer this, but suggested we reach out to Funktastic. Definitely one of the best decisions we made. They were quick to respond, easy to work with, and had no problem working with our DJ to make this happen. Most importantly, their sax player absolutely killed it at our wedding!!! He was able to play along with every song the DJ played, it was seriously impressive. We got so many compliments on such a unique and fun experience. So glad we did it, I highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
