The most amazing and engaging band!!!

I cannot begin to put into words how amazing this band is. One of the few things we knew from the beginning of our wedding planning process was that if we could pull off a live band, that is what we wanted. We love to dance and our friends/family have always loved a good party. Matchmaker band did the most amazing job keeping everyone entertained and up and dancing all night!!

I dreaded the idea of music selection but they made it so simple with a list of loves and a list of avoids. This took so much stress off of us and they did such a great job picking songs that matched the vibe we told them we were going for and the songs that we provided on our "Love it" list. They also read the room perfectly and did a great job of matching the vibe of the moment.

Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they are very talented entertainers. The singers had matching dance moves and even came out onto the dance floor to interact with people and get everyone hyped up. The number one compliment we got after our wedding was how amazing our band was, and we have had multiple people ask for their information for future weddings/events. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS BAND AGAIN. They are truly amazing and worth every penny you invest if you're looking to have great music for entertainment and dancing.

The BEST Wedding Band!!!

I don't know how to begin to describe how incredible Matchmaker was!! They were so communicative and helpful leading up to the wedding, and they are truly a one-stop shop – they provided our ceremony sound system, cocktail hour music, reception music, and uplighting in the room. My husband and I also performed together at our reception, and they provided microphones and had everything perfectly set for us. From the moment the dinner set started, we were transported by their INCREDIBLE vocals and high-quality music from every member of the band. When I tell you I dreaaaam of the way they played "At Last" – I've never seen people stand up and clap for the band during dinner. They MCed the night perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long and brought the absolute best energy and talent!! They brought the quality of our entire wedding up, and everyone I talk to post wedding ALWAYS brings up how they'll never get over our band. Thanks for helping us create a night that no one will ever forget!!
