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.

Everything was Amazing

Matchmaker was such a key part of what all our wedding guests said was an unbelievable evening. Everyone said it was the best band they ever seen at wedding. Their breadth and depth of music, skill and execution was impressive. Amos and his team were super easy to work with and added zero stress to the wedding planning process. They also provided for us Dueling Pianos for the rehearsal dinner that were a big hit to kick the weekend off, strings and singer for the ceremony and DJ for the after party. Amos and his team were a key part of the whole weekend and it went seamlessly.

Matchmaker is da bomb

A band was our #1 priority. After the venue, it was the first thing we researched and booked. Matchmaker exceeded all of our expectations. Amos and the team were amazing to work with, and I really appreciated their personalization, allowing us to pick entrance songs, pre-ceremony songs, make our own playlist for cocktail hour and deal with our extremely detailed DO/DO NOT play list. Because of the venue setup, we chose to have the string trio play during dinner and only have the full band perform during the two-hour dance party. Even though 15-minute breaks were expected, the team took none. We noticed. It was incredible. We've received non-stop comments after the wedding about it being the "best band I've ever seen." Can't say enough good things. Music is so important to us and we found a band that GOT IT.

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!!

Absolutely Amazing!

Matchmaker played at my son’s wedding in Austin, TX in 2023 and we were blown away! By far the best band we had EVER heard at a wedding. They have multiple singers (both male and female) so they can cover such a wide variety of songs and really know how to work the crowd and keep the party going. We enjoyed them so much in 2023, that we had to hire them for my wedding celebration in 2024! They were just as amazing and really made our night special. I would definitely recommend you hire them! You won’t regret it!

The band's versatility was impressive, effortlessly covering a wide range of genres that appealed to all our guests. Whether it was a classic love song or a modern hit, they performed each piece with incredible skill and passion. Their seamless transitions and ability to read the crowd ensured that the dance floor was always packed.

The Matchmaker Wedding Band was also a dream to work with. They were professional, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our event perfect. They took the time to understand our preferences and delivered a performance that exceeded all our expectations.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band and how much fun they had. We are so grateful to the Matchmaker Wedding Band for providing the soundtrack to our perfect night. If you're looking for a wedding band that will make your reception unforgettable, look no further. They are simply the best!
