Alexis Sent on 10/08/2024The BEST Wedding Band
We found Rocco and Funk Evolution through a venue we toured in Saratoga, when we told the coordinator we wanted a wedding band she said we NEEDED Funk Evolution, after some research and speaking with friends in the area we decided they were the perfect band for us. From the start Rocco was so responsive and so happy to accomodate all our needs and so enthusiastic about my vision for our wedding. They learned several songs for us without any hesitation. Fast forward to wedding day, Rocco was amazing with keeping up the communication, was an amazing emcee coordinating everything from entrances to speeches and even calming the nerves of those speaking. The band was absolutely phenomenal performers, the music was amazing and every member is truly so talented. They had great crowd involvement and kept the energy up the entire night. They adjusted their plans based on us and the energy of the room and incorporated some fun solos into the night. When dinner went late they adjusted their timeline to accommodate. Our guests could not stop raving about how great the band was. It truly was the highlight of the night. We cannot thank Rocco and Funk Evolution enough for making our wedding so perfect. -

Caroline Sent on 01/19/2025The MOST amazing band!!!
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Funk Evolution was! For our December wedding, my husband insisted on having a band and I agreed! First and foremost, Funk Evolution was so responsive from the start. We had heard from others that they were incredible so we knew that we wanted to book them! When Ryan first reached out, they had multiple other inquiries for our wedding day. We paid our first deposit almost immeadiately to secure them and it was truly the BEST decision we ever made. Leading up to the wedding our communication with Rocco was amazing, responding to us always so promptly. We had a winter wedding with around 110 people. It was important to us that everyone would have an amazing time on the dance floor, and was worried the number wouldn’t sufficiently fill the feel for the space. Funk Evolution absolutely KILLED it, people RAVED and are still talking about them!!! We were all so sad when the night ended because the band and dance floor was so fun. One of our guests even said “I’ve seen Journey in concert and this band is better than them!” That was just the beginning of compliments about this amazing band and even better people. From the initial contact, the lead up to the wedding, the few weeks before, the ceremony music, cocktail hour music, and the reception - I truly couldn’t have asked for a better band. They truly exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier that we booked them. BOOK THEM NOW!!!!! -

Lauren Sent on 01/08/2025Hire this band immediately
Rocco and team were wonderful to work with! They responded quickly, learned a few songs for us, flawlessly orchestrated our ceremony music, and most importantly GOT THE PARTY STARTED AND KEPT IT GOING! My friends and family raved about them. They played a variety of genres and even played a special Phish song for us at the end which made us so happy! Not many bands have that range. They do and they crush it! They also helped us with up lighting which really made our venue look beautiful the night of. I highly recommend this team for all of your music and lighting needs! -

I cannot say enough good things about the Funk Evolution Band. At the end of the night, we literally could not get people off the dance floor! Coming from a musical family, live music was a must for me at our wedding. We also had their sound and lighting team set up additional things for us around the venue that really made the space 'pop'. They did a perfect job, at a great price, and were so professional. Rocco's energy as emcee is electric. He kept everything on schedule and let people know what was going on all night long. He worked constantly to be sure my husband and I were where we needed to be, when we needed to be there and kept our entire night on track in such a super professional way. We never felt rushed or pulled away from what we were doing but he somehow just directed us through the night in the most seamless way. He was also so accommodating and made changes on the fly to some of the special requests we had changed last minute. I have always heard Funk Evolution was the best in town, but I am so glad my guests, husband, and I were able to experience it first-hand. People are still talking about how amazing they were! They truly made our day so special. -

best.night.ever!
1000/10 experience with Funk Evolution on our wedding night in September! Rocco and his team put on a performance of a lifetime that all of our friends and family continue to talk about til this day! We cant express how grateful we are for them! Rocco was beyond proficient, professional and timely from the very first inquiry email until the end of the night. Between the ceremony music & voiceovers through the last song performed, it was all truly amazing. We couldn't of asked for a better group to lead our night and make it one to remember. You had every guest on the dance floor all night long which is exactly what we wanted. You especially gave me (Torrin - the bride) a night to remember with my girls on that dance floor!
We cant recommend Funk Evolution enough to take care of your wedding, party, special event, etc.! You will not be disappointed! Heres to more nights out on the town with you guys, and possibly an anniversary party! Who knows....!! Thank you FE!!!!!! -

Ellen Sent on 11/13/2024Amazing band
I have been to many, many affairs and this was, by far, the best band I have seen. I have friends and family reaching out to say the same thing. They were professional, looked and sounded fantastic and not too over the top crazy. They were so fun, engaging with the crowd and incredibly talented. I would, without a doubt, highly recommend them to anyone! -

Mackenzie Sent on 08/25/2024AMAZING! The perfect band for your wedding!
We had Funk Evolution perform at our wedding, and they were amazing! Their energy, talent, and professionalism had everyone dancing all night. They worked seamlessly with our DJ and smoothly transitioned between live music and DJ sets. Their music was perfect for every moment of the evening, and they were super easy to work with.
If you’re looking for a band that knows how to get a party started, Funk Evolution is the one to go for. They made our wedding day memorable. -

Communication and professionalism was A+. I can’t recommend them enough! -

Funk's management was remarkable to work with from start to finish. Details were worked out well in advance and Funk stayed in contact with the bride and groom to make sure their wishes were being met. The guests didn't know what hit them when the 2 sax players appeared in the dining room and escorted everyone out to the ballroom! The excitement lasted all night, there wasn't an empty spot on the dance floor until the wedding was over. Everyone agreed it was the best entertainment they have ever experienced at a wedding. I am the mother of the bride...Rocco and his crew played an important role in making this the most remarkable and classiest night for the bride and groom. -

Tom W. Sent on 06/24/2024Absolutely Outstanding — Rocked it!
Funk Evolution is an exceptional band—they brought terrific energy to our wedding weekend. All the tracks they played were awesome, had our guests boogieing all evening.
They were also super on top of things with the flow of the evening, MCing, being flexible where needed. Rocco, their band leader and killer saxophonist, was kind, extremely responsive all throughout the leadup, and very professional. Overall, working with Funk Evolution was delightful and a very positive experience. -

You would be crazy NOT to hire FE for your wedding reception. We actually set our wedding date, based on their availability, and we are so glad we did!!!! EVERY ONE of our guests was blown away and said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to!!!!! Rocco and his team were true entertainers; engaging the guests with their dynamite horn section right in the middle of the dance floor. It’s honestly a challenge to sit once they start playing-the beat and their energy are simply contagious.
Prior to the wedding Rocco was consistently prompt when responding to the MANY questions I had. He never failed to offer his own suggestions and/or advice when appropriate-and I went with all of his ideas!!! (Things I would’ve never thought of on my own). They have an extensive song list to pick from and are even willing to learn a song or two, for you, when given a reasonable amount of time.
I cannot emphasize enough just how dynamic this group of musicians is-and fun, fun, FUN!!!!!!! I’d hire them again without a single reservation. You know what they say, “ya get what ya pay for”. Ya just can’t go wrong… -

Funk Evolution was the centerpiece to our intimate wedding. We had just under 100 guests and were worried that there'd be a lack of energy with such a small party. We had nothing to worry about! The energy was so great all night long and as we looked around the room after dinner, there were only 5 people who weren't on the dance floor; they were all at the bar! Funk Evolution had the entire party on the dancefloor for 2 hours straight, we were amazing and so grateful. Thank you for making me the happiest bride ever.
