Rich M. Sent on 06/29/2023Best Band Ever
When my wife and I were describing our ideal wedding, we aren't very traditional and just wanted to have a big party with our friends and family to celebrate. As long as our guests were having a good time, then we would be. For me, live music was a must, and was really the only thing I got entrusted with.
Taylor, Bryan, and the rest of the GFR crew was amazingly easy to deal with. Straightforward, honest, and to the point. Once we committed to them, they took all the stress out of planning the music, MC'ing, and sound for the wedding. Knowing now all the curveballs and little things leading up to the wedding day, being able to outsource all of that stuff is an amazing value in of itself.
As far as the actual music went, my expectations were high and still got blown away. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was on point - tasteful when it needed to be, and still got the hair standing up my neck during those key moments. The first dance and parent dances were amazingly true to the records, but not too long (just in case you can't dance, like me).
However, the reception sets were simply on another level. Multiple guests told us that it was the best band they'd ever seen, no qualifiers. GFR kept the energy humming from end to end, and it felt like a concert, weaving songs together with the crowd screaming for the encore.
I know I'm just a guy from the internet, but if you've gotten this far, just give them a call and check this box off your list and thank me when you're rubbing your feet and laughing about how sore your legs are from dancing at the best night of your life. -

Tess S. Sent on 01/20/2024Great family reunion is a must hire!
Great Family Reunion is an amazing band and there is a reason why they are leading the Colorado wedding band circuit! We continually received positive feedback about them from our wedding attendees. Brian was such a great MC for the evening and we loved that working with GFR meant that we had them for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. SO easy not having to find other musicians for different parts of the night. In addition to our wedding we have seen GFR at multiple other friends’ weddings and their curated setlist has been different for all and very unique to each couple. They hit the nail on the head with ours, there was not one song we would have changed and they even learned Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas for our Holiday wedding and wore Santa hats with the guests. This band is so much fun and there is no better band to get the party started, keep the energy high, and ensure that all your guests won’t leave the dance floor. My husband and I could not recommend them more. They are a wedding must if you are looking for a band!!! -

Clare D. Sent on 10/15/2023Get the party started with GFA!!
Great Family Artists made our wedding truly unforgettable! The music was the most important element of our wedding and we talked to many bands before deciding on GFA. They were amazing to work with from the start and created a perfect setlist that matched our music taste (even learning a couple of our favorite songs to make our day extra special). During our reception, there was never an open spot on the dance floor. They kept the party going ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! If you are looking for a personalized experience matched with INCREDIBLE talent, look no further. GFA will blow your socks off. It has been a month since our wedding and people keep on telling us how GFA was the best band they have ever seen!!! -

Best wedding band ever
From our initial conversation with the GFR team to their delivery on our wedding day we had an exceptional experience. This is not your normal wedding band in the best way possible. They were specific to capture our vision, playlist and recommendations while being proactive and quick to reply with any questions. You’re in great hands to trust the GFR team with all parts of your special day, they are true professionals and made our wedding a blast for guests and stress free for us. Thanks again to the GFR team! -

Lauren D. Sent on 07/17/2023Just WOW! Great band to work with!
If you’re looking for a great band in Colorado Spring, look no further! Bryan and his team were absolutely incredible to work with and brought the party all night long. Before our wedding, we had personalized calls with Bryan and Taylor to identify our style and how they could put together a personalized playlist for our reception. At the reception they played all the best hits, had incredible vocals and musicians, and had the dance floor packed all night. Truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. -

Alexandra G. Sent on 04/30/2023PHENOMENAL band - 10/10 would recommend
The Great Family Reunion was absolutely incredible, and crushed it at our wedding. They were by far one of our favorite vendors of the day. We got multiple comments from our guests that they were great. GFR was great at managing the energy on the dance floor, and every single musician was extremely talented. Three of the four musicians were also phenomenal singers. Their version of our first dance song "Honeybee" was even better than the original version. We were also impressed by the drummer singing "Kiss" by Prince. They MADE the party on the dance floor. -

WOW! Great Family Reunion is THE wedding band, it is the easiest decision you’ll make during the planning process. We got married on New Year’s Eve and were looking for a band that would bring the party energy and keep our guests on the dance floor until the countdown at midnight. Great Family Reunion not only met those expectations, but ended up playing a 3+ song encore because our guests (and the venue staff) could not get enough of them! Bryan and Taylor were so easy to work with during the planning. The questions they asked, the guidance they provided and the time they took to get to know us really showed with the set list they ended up putting together for our wedding. To show their breadth and talent here is a short list of artists they played: Lizzo, The Grateful Dead, Big Wild, Griz, Taylor Swift, Umphreys McGee, Spice Girls, Chris Stapleton, Ginuwine (yes, Pony). Our family and friends are still talking about how fun and talented all of the musicians were. -

Mani C. Sent on 11/15/2022Great Family Reunion and their Por La Paz classical trio are amazing!
We booked Great Family Reunion's Por La Paz classical string trio for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! They performed classical versions of pop, rock, and oldies, which was incredibly fun, and also played during our ceremony. My fiancee sang in an a cappella group in college, so part of our ceremony was her friends from her old group singing along with Por La Paz as accompaniment. Por La Paz learned the song with no sweat. They are all incredibly talented musicians. It was incredibly meaningful and sounded gorgeous.
Throughout the whole process of music selection and coordination everyone we worked with at Great Family Reunion was fantastic and responsive - with special shoutout and thanks to Taylor and Bryan. I highly recommend working with Great Family Reunion and the Por La Paz classical trio to make your wedding extra special. -

Ashley S. Sent on 11/13/2022Great Family Reunion was the highlight of the night!
I cannot share enough good things about the whole band and employees at Great Family Reunion. They were the highlight of the night! Live music was one of the most important aspects that we wanted at our wedding, and we ended up with the 8 piece lineup that included horns and a full percussion section, as well as Por La Paz for our ceremony & cocktail hour. When I was told, “Ashley, this is your music festival - you’ll get whatever mix of styles you want!”, I knew it was the right fit. The preparation for the event was so detail oriented, and the level of musicianship on the stage was incredible. EVERYONE was on the dance floor and raved about them afterwards
