Couldn't recommend them more!

When we saw The Philly Funk Authority perform at our cousins' NYE wedding, we knew we had to have them and we were NOT disappointed! Gary was so easy to work with through the planning process and worked out every detail on our behalf. The band was as professional as they come. They worked the room and rocked the house. They learned three songs for us that weren't on their repertoire. We would recommend Philly Funk to anyone and everyone!

Fantastically Funk-Filled Wedding

In choosing a band for our wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to think twice before selecting Philadelphia Funk Authority. They are an incredible band and really know how to spice up every second of your big day. From a variety of soft ballads accompanying myself and our wedding party down the aisle, to taking time to learn mine and my husband’s “song” for our first dance, to playing a variety of hits from every decade at the reception, Philly Funk covered every moment perfectly. Communication with Gary before our main event was thorough and smooth and every member of the band played their part in keeping the night a joy and our family and friends on their feet! Every guest still tells us what a blast the band was and how they wished the party didn’t have to end! You’ll certainly love Philadelphia Funk Authority for your wedding and they will easily help make it a night you will never forget!

As soon as we found the Philly Funk Authority, we knew we had found our wedding band. Their song catalog was almost overwhelming but they completely nailed every song we picked. From the opening notes they had our dance floor packed. We're still getting compliments and praise from guests that it was not only one of the best wedding bands they've ever heard, but one of the best bands in general. Gary was extremely easy to work with and went out of his way to do anything specific that we requested, we'll be seeing this band for years to come and can't thank them enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
