    AMAZING! You NEED them at your wedding

    Where do I even begin... WE are SOOO happy we hired Gold City. They were beyond amazing and really made our wedding next level. Shea was amazing to work with and was open to all special requests. She did not bat an eye when I had multiple song requests that were not on their song list and they played them all beautifully. So many people came up to us during the wedding telling us "this band is amazing!". They really made our night so special and we could not be happier with this decision. If you have any hesitation in hiring a band, don't, and make sure you hire Gold City!!! You'll have the MOST SPECTACULAR TIME.

    We had a 100-person wedding and had a 6-person band, and included a horn. This was the perfect size and still had BIG sound.

    Perfection

    Gold City has it all! They are one of a kind and truly made the night! Their musicianship and performance level is unreal, and they know how to party! They were so flexible with learning new songs and they killed every single one they played! You are getting real musicians, soul, and funk, this is not your average “wedding band”!! The entire band is energetic and you can see how much fun they all have together. The singers truly were incredible and have such a range, which makes them nail every song! All of our guests kept asking who this band was!! Our wedding night wouldn’t have been what it was without them!

    Gold City's reply:

    Julie and Dustin! :) We are so, so happy that you had such a great time! We loved performing, playing and singing for you all. You are true music lovers and DANCERS! Your crew's energy was infectious! Wishing you both happiness and success for years and years to come!

    Best Decision We Made.

    Gold City was my favorite vendor from our wedding day! Sure the flowers were great and the food was amazing, but Gold City really made our reception what it was. The dance floor was packed and everyone seriously let loose. Gold City is an independent band. These incredible musicians have played together countless times and it shows. They are each extremely talented in their own right. Unlike other large wedding entertainment groups out of DC, they don't just throw musicians together and hope for the best. This band cares about your event and will deliver the best experience possible.

    Gold city is epic!

    My jaw dropped in amazement and absolute delight when they first started playing. This was the best band I'd ever heard play at a wedding and multiple guests told me that as well! We could not have asked for a better experience overall; they were incredible people to work (kind, organized) with every step of the way! We booked the band with 7 pieces (4 piece rhythm section, 2 singers, and sax) and had just a 2 part jazz duo to start for the 'cocktail hour' portion. Each performer was individually talented and together they brought an amazing collective energy and style. They had amazing range in song variety and did an amazing job learning the song we requested for our first dance. Shea, one of the lead singers and band manager, MC'ed for introductions and transitions and made everything so FUN, while running smoothly. Hiring Gold City ended up feeling like the most valuable decision we made for our wedding reception. They were worth every cent (and more, truly)!

    Thank you, Sophia!

    The best wedding band!

    Gold City was by far the best wedding band I have ever heard!! Everyone at our wedding can’t stop talking about how amazing of a band they are. Gold city really brought the energy to the party and knew exactly how to keep the dancing going! Matthew and Shea were amazing to work with and made figuring out every detail very easy. If you are looking for an amazing high energy band then look no further, because gold city is everything you need and want in a wedding band!

    Gold City's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words and choosing Gold City!

    We had so much fun at your wedding and wish you all the best!!

    Gold City rocked the night

    After waiting over a year for my son and daughter in law’s wedding last Saturday (10/9/21) it was imperative that the band was amazing. Matt and his Gold City 5 piece ensemble exceeded our expectations and absolutely blew us away. They were incredible. From the first note the reception hall emptied and the outdoor patio was jammed with dancers and revelers enjoying the music. The vocals were stellar, the musicianship was outstanding and the energy level was off the charts. Gold City did everything right, while knowing exactly when to rev up the crowd and when to give everyone a breath catching minute or two they were always right on cue. The group arrived exactly when they said they would, set up without fuss, played two fantastic sets and always made sure the wedding was center stage. Matt is a fantastic guitar player and vocalist and every musician and vocalist alongside him were equally exceptional. I have never attended a wedding where the band was as flawless as Gold City and I could not possibly recommend them with any more sincerity. 10 out of 10, could not be happier.

    Gold City's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review Bill! What an awesome rating: 10/10! :) So happy we were the ones to make your day and night so special. Wishing you all the best! You know who to call when you want to party!

    Absolutely amazing

    GOLD CITY WAS AMAZING. I was super picky about the band because the music can really make or break a party, but Gold City absolutely killed it. Our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music and band was and even cheered for an encore after the final song. Thank you Gold City for such an amazing experience from booking to coordinating, and finally performing! Wouldn’t have been the same without you :)

    Gold City's reply:

    Soleine, thank you so much for this review and for choosing Gold City to be a part of your day! :) We're so happy we were the band you went with, and happy to have made your wedding guests dance all night! :D

    Gold city the besss

    Gold City was amazing! They really made our day and can say we will remember them for the rest of our lives. They learned all the songs we requested and played them perfectly! Everyone in the band were super humble and very nice and all around great people. Would totally recommend!! And there set list is a wide variety of different genres, from Miles Davis to Justin Timberlake to Earth Wind and Fire, to The Grateful Dead. They nailed it and had everyone on the dance floor the entire time!

    Gold City's reply:

    Cody! We had such a great time at your wedding! Unforgettable venue, dances, and night! We absolutely loved your first dance pick of Van Morrison's Into the Mystic. Such a wide range of musical tastes and we're so happy we were able to be a part of your big day. Wishing you the best! Thank you!

    The most fun anyone has had at a wedding!

    We had the best experience with our band! The communication and coordination went so smoothly. We felt completely confident in our decision, but were blown away with how much fun they were! Our guests were cheering and even the most bashful got on the dance floor! The photos of the night make me smile so much seeing how much fun everyone was having!! I cannot recommend them enough!

    Gold City's reply:

    Katie! Thank YOU! It's always the best sign when shy family and friends get on the dance floor to cut a rug! So happy to have been a part of your special day. All the best :)

    I can't imagine our wedding without Gold City. We had two musicians play orchestral music before and during our outdoor ceremony which was lovely. A 5 piece band then played at our indoor reception! We were super impressed from beginning to end of our relationship with Gold City. A representative from the band came out to scope out the venue with us since they had never played there before. We loved the band's existing repertoire and they learned 3 new songs for us for our first dance, Father/Daughter, and Mother/Son first dances. They killed it! People didn't want the night to end thanks to Gold City. Everyone had so much fun dancing and we continue to receive compliments on the band to this day. Wow! A night to remember for sure. THANK YOU!

    Gold City's reply:

    Many thanks for this wonderful review, Peyton! :) We're so happy we were able to make your big day so special!

    Perfect for Ceremony and Wedding Band!!

    Matt was great to work with throughout the whole process- he performed our ceremony music while the guests arrived and for the processional/recessional. Even though it was just him on guitar, it sounded like a full room, yet also set a very romantic tone for our evening ceremony. I love listening back to it in our wedding video! The full reception band was also incredible- we have so many great photos and video from the reception because everyone was dancing! We absolutely love Matt- he is professional and extremely talented. His band is tight, funky and fun. Don't think twice- definitely book Gold City!

    Best Part of Our Wedding!

    My wife and I loved working with Matt and hiring his band to perform at our wedding. Our friends are still telling us how much fun the party was and how great the band sounded and it's months later at this point.

    Our best friends that were at our wedding even hired them for their wedding too!

    We also thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony music Matt provided for us. We gave him a list of songs we love and he made them feel classy and appropriate for the ceremony and made it very special for us.

    Matthew is such an excellent musician, I highly recommend him for your wedding! He did my ceremony music and he knows Music Theory so he was able to play the songs we requested exactly how we wanted them played. Not everyone was able to do that. We went out and heard him play a few live shows around town before our wedding and we were blown away! He can play any kind of music and do it well. Don't waste any more time.. hire Matthew Chase! You won't regret it!
