Highly Highly Recommend Great Family Artist's The Family Band NYC

We cannot recommend this band highly enough! They absolutely knocked it out of the park and brought the best energy from the first song to the last. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how incredible they were. So many people told us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen!!

One of the most special moments of the night was when my husband played the drums with the band. Jonathan and the team went above and beyond by encouraging him to do it and even learning a special song for the performance. It became one of the biggest highlights of our wedding and is a memory we'll cherish forever (and it was EPIC)!!

Working with Jonathan and the entire team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They are unbelievably talented, professional, and truly care about creating an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a band that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night and make your wedding feel extraordinary, look no further. They exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful they were part of our wedding day.

Incredible Experience

Spectacular! It’s the only word that can come close to describing our experience with Great Family Artists. This is not a “wedding band” in any traditional or typical sense. What they provide goes above and beyond: This is a group of musicians that deserves far more recognition for their supreme talents and delivery.

Throughout our experience leading up to and during our wedding reception in May 2026, we felt like a part of their close-knit team. Over several meetings, their leaders got to know us, ensured they understood our vision and desires, and ultimately built and achieved them perfectly. That included ensuring they played our favorite songs and carried out our ideas — including a special mom-son dance with a surprise twist. In the end, we felt more like VIPs at a private concert than just another client.

During and after our wedding reception, the first thing all our friends and family said to us was, “How did you find them?!” We are VERY glad we did, and we would strongly recommend that other couples hire Great Family Artists to provide an unforgettable experience. It could be the best decision you make before your event!

GFA is the best!

Couldn't recommend GFA more for a wedding or a party! The band was very professional with planning, setlist creation, coordination with our venue and other vendors. The band itself was incredible from our wedding ceremony, to the cocktail hour to the reception. The setlist was perfect and melded all of the music we wanted perfectly - the dance floor impossible to leave! We had the best night ever and left the dancefloor sparingly. In the weeks after our wedding an overwhelming amount of the attendees told us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. So thankful for GFA - they made our wedding night so special. Could not recommend the team and the band more, they absolutely crushed!!

Great Family Artists - 10/10

From top-to-bottom, Great Family Artists was absolutely amazing. In our initial stages of planning, we were between them and another group, the other one being a little more “famous.” We were generally a little anxious because our venue was not a typical wedding venue (restaurant in Greenpoint, Nura), and we were unsure whether an 8-9 piece band could fit comfortably. Their bandleader Jonathan Huvard fully sealed the deal by offering to trek over to Greenpoint, hang out for a couple hours, and generally assuage all concerns in person. That was the level of care and professionalism we got from GFA throughout. From a logistics perspective, they were willing to cut their setup time in HALF to account for the time constraints of the restaurant. Everything leading up was catered to us specifically—every call was about our musical preferences and tastes, but also about who we were, how we met, our general vibe, etc—in order to curate the perfect wedding experience for us. And that’s honestly what it was. My wife and I both walked down the aisle to relatively obscure songs (she, “I Wish I Was,” by the Avett Brothers, me, “Concerning Hobbits” from LOTR lol), both of which they played acoustically and beautifully on guitar/piano. The actual performance was insane. Escalated perfectly from our entrance song (Shakedown Street) to the very end. Not to mention, we’ve been to one billion weddings, but I’m telling you that was the best hora we’ve ever experienced. All of our married friends were blown away by the performance and the unmarried ones asked about their contact. We’re so lucky to have found them and would be happy to speak on their behalf to anyone!

Great Family Artists Exceeded Every Expectation!

From the intro call to the last song of the night, Great Family Artists went above and beyond every step of the way! We got married at Nura, a restaurant in Brooklyn, and had a very non-traditional set-up for the reception, one that involved a very tight area for the band. I was dead set on having a live band for our wedding but was concerned about the spacing, and Jonathan (owner of GFA) met me at the restaurant to put my worries at ease before I even signed the contract. From the initial call and that in-person meeting, I knew we had a great partnership on our hands. Throughout all the planning calls, we felt like GFA was genuinely listening to our wants/dreams for the big night and they were really tailoring the entertainment to our tastes. I was very adamant about not having a “cookie cutter” playlist and we wanted the music to transition as the party transitioned: from the ceremony acoustics to vibey funk at cocktail hour, then properly building the reception intensity as the guests’ energy escalated, and then eventually delivering the best Hora we’ve ever seen. GFA genuinely exceeded every expectation I ever had! I am so so so indebted to their team for giving us great guidance, incredible setlists curated for us, and delivering an unforgettable night!

If You Want a Party, BOOK THEM!

Where do we even BEGIN?! Great Family Artists was the absolute best part of not only our entire wedding day, but the whole planning process. From our very first call with Taylor, to our check-ins with Bryan, to our very fun musical "homework", everything culminated into an absolutely AMAZING wedding night. We had a jazzy cocktail hour trio playing some of our favorite songs, then a 9 piece band with 2 horns for the reception. One of our guests said he'd "never seen a dance floor that was like velcro all night" before. We are one month out from our wedding and we are STILL getting compliments on our band... they're just that good. Kamal was the band leader and was so fun, talented, inclusive of every guest old and young, and really got the party started and kept it high the whole way through. Every single member of the band was SO talented and FUN! Truly I could go on and on about how absolutely incredible the entire Great Family Artists experience was from start to finish. I'll end with this: if you want a packed dance floor, people from all ages dancing their shoes off (literally), and to hear for a month straight how incredible your band/music was... BOOK THEM!

Loved this band

OH MY GOODNESS. I can't say enough great things about this company and band! Almy family is from New Orleans and we wanted a lively and talented band for our wedding that reminded us of NOLA! GFA KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! Not only was Bryan (our MC and coordinator) incredible but the communication, thoughtfulness, and happiness the whole team brought to the wedding process was amazing. We love this band and will find any excuse to use them in the future. I can't recommend this company enough and truly this team made our wedding night so special and fun! Sending so much love to all the band members and I hope you all know how talented you are!

Most Incredible Band Ever!!!

This is by far and away the best wedding band I have ever heard. I'm not just saying it because it was our wedding. From the very beginning they spent time getting to know us as a couple and understand our music taste. From there it was a completely curated experience. My husband and I are huge music rans and met at a Bruce Springsteen cover band and having a few Bruce songs were important to us. They not only played a few but we also got to go up on stage for the last song and sing with the band! They also recommended having a private last dance just us and the band at the end and it was one of the most memorable moments of the day. They did an amazing job incorporating songs we wanted them to learn but also build a setlist that had a range of songs to get all the guests involved. Every single guest was on the dancefloor (even family members that usually don't get up from their chairs). They sounded AMAZING, and got the crowd involved any chance they could. We had a conga line that was absolutely electric. They are anything but a typical wedding band. If you want a curated, off the beaten path wedding band experience (and the most fun party of your life), GFA is for you. I had multiple people come up to me after and tell me it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. And a few of my friends who are engaged ask me for their contact info. They are the best kept secret in terms of wedding bands and we are so honored to have worked with them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great Family Artists just played at our Rocky Mountain wedding and they were AMAZING! The team was easy to work with from the start, and they curated an amazing vibe on the dance floor. Throughout the night guests kept complementing on how fantastic our band was!

Greatest Band Ever

We absolutely loved having GFA at our wedding. They absolutely crushed it. The dance floor was full the entire night. All of our guests said it was like they were at a concert. We had a Jewish wedding, so having a great Hora dance was a huge priority and they helped us to accomplish that. For many guests it was the longest Hora they had ever done.They did an incredible job of taking our ingredients playlist to make a great setlist for the party. It was a combo of newer and older songs and a song that they learned just for us. They ended the night with so much energy and they brought us up on stage to close out the night. They also worked with one of our family members so that she could sing a tribute to their grandmother. They were also great at being organized and keeping us organized about prepping before the wedding. They met with us a multiple occasions to make sure we were all on the same page and offered great advice about what music to play at different parts of the day and they all turned out to be great suggestions. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we highly recommend hiring them for your wedding.

Best Band Ever

GFA performed at our wedding in Boulder earlier this month and they were the highlight of the day. We have been to several weddings all over the country with bands and GFA is by far the best one. So many people have made comments that they’ve never seen every single guest (and we had 161) on the dance floor and having so much fun. So many conversations after the wedding consisted of sharing what everyone’s favorite song the band played and we all decided it was too hard to choose because they were all bangers. Working with GFA leading up to the wedding was a complete breeze. They were prompt with email responses and incredibly professional. This band was worth every penny and we highly recommend booking them for your special day.

The perfect wedding band for ceremony and reception

From start to finish we had a great experience with Great Family Artists for our wedding! In the build up to our wedding day, they were so responsive, we met with the music director several times and talked about what we wanted for our ceremony and reception. They have extensive Spotify playlists to review and we had several great conversations about our song choices for key moments on our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the band was so nice and professional, the music was beautiful and they played every song perfectly. Their energy had everyone out on the dance floor the whole night and so many of our guests have told us how much they loved our band. Thank you GFA!

Gfa rocks!

GFA Rocks! We had GFA for our wedding in Aspen. They kept the dance floor packed the whole night and brought such great energy to our wedding. We did a cocktail hour with a DJ/saxophone which was killer. The band played all the hits and really read the room with great songs. We closed the night with DJ/sax again which was an awesome way to go! Cannot recommend them enough. From the initial planning through the wedding day itself GFA kept us in the loop and really personalized the whole event. Rest assured you'll get a great event with them. Our only issue was picking a non-classic first dance song which seemed poorly rehearsed or just different from what we expected to what we practiced to.

We had a perfect wedding thanks to GFA! They were extremely responsive throughout our wedding planning and curated the perfect band for our night. GFA was extremely flexible to move our ceremony indoors on short notice due to weather, wonderful MCs, and made for a packed dance floor!

bsolutely incredible – the best decision we made for our wedding!
From the moment we met the team at Great Family Artists, we knew they were going to own the night—and they absolutely did. They didn’t just perform; they curated a show that felt like us. Rather than relying on a cookie-cutter setlist or routine, they personalized every detail to fit the vibe of our wedding.

One of the most unforgettable moments was our first dance. We had asked them to perform a unique rendition of a classic song, and not only did they learn it from scratch, they delivered it in a way that was beyond anything we could’ve imagined. It was magical. We cannot think them enough!

I wish everyone could have GFA as their wedding band!!

When we were deciding on the entertainment for our wedding, we were torn on DJ vs band, due to budget. But as soon as we chose Great Family Artists, we never looked back.

Right out of the gate, the GFA team was responsive and on top of all details for our special day - timeline, ceremony logistics, happy hour vibes, special dances, they knew what questions to ask and how to help us move forward with our decisions. They were so organized and made us feel confident that all would run smoothly day-of. Jump forward to our wedding, they knocked every performance out of the park. The ceremony music was beautiful, cocktail hour jazz was perfect, and WOW did they get the people dancing for our reception.

All the artists were absolutely incredible - with amazing voices, exceptional solos, fun stage presence, they brought the party. One of our main priorities for our wedding was to have everyone dancing until the very end of the evening and that is exactly what happened - all thanks to GFA. We are so grateful for each GFA team member, from the logistics team to the sound crew to the musicians. If you are looking for a band that will get the people dancing, decrease your stress on the day of the wedding, and blow you away with their talent, GFA is the band for you.

Best Wedding Band of All Time

The band played our wedding and they we're amazing! They were the talk of the night and everybody loved the classics. They let one of my wife’s friends sing with the string trio while she walked down the aisle. And they let me play a song on the drums to surprise my wife/everyone at the wedding. Without a doubt the best wedding band I’ve ever heard play.

Grand County, CO June Wedding 2025

Great Family Artists played my wedding in Colorado at the beginning of June, 2025. Starting from the music welcoming the crowd to their seats for the ceremony, the band’s tunes did not let down. They played three songs during our wedding party’s walk down the aisle, and one escorting us back out to Cocktail Hour.

They played instrumental, crowd pleasing hits from multiple genres and decades based on the taste profile we had given them, discussed, and readjusted based off our discussions for the entirety of cocktail hour.

We had them take their first break during our dinner hour. We then met them where we were having our dance party for our private first dance, which they played perfectly and provided the perfect atmosphere for. Once it was time for our parent dances, they were able to accommodate both live and clicking play from a recording.

While they did play a fantastic hora, my favorite part of GFA was there ability to take a playlist of 75-80 songs that my wife and I selected from their hundreds of songs and a few that were not on their list and they were able to craft the perfect blend of songs to get everyone out on the dance floor and keep us out there while they played. They played two wonderful 90-minute sets for us and our guests, separated by a thirty minute break, and closed the night out with songs from ABBA, Chappell Roan, and Elton John in quick succession - creating the best atmosphere we could’ve dreamed of.

They take the words of their contract very literally, so you can rest assured that what is says is what they’ll do.

5/5 would find a reason to hire them again.

True masters of their craft! Cannot recommend enough

I cannot recommend Great Family Artists enough! From the beginning, they were such a joy to work with, I felt like I was in good hands immediately. They accommodated our requests for special songs, everything felt like a personalized concert just for us. My wedding guests still havent stopped talking about how amazing the band and its been a month since our wedding. One thing that really solidified their excellence and mastery was how they would read the crowd and when people, they just kept riffing and improvising the tune to let the fun we were having on the dance floor play out. Thank you all again for everything you did to make our wedding day extra special!

Wedding Day

GFA was absolutely phenomenal — professional, organized, and an absolute blast from start to finish. Bryan and Taylor made the planning process feel effortless, and their guidance helped create some of the most unforgettable moments of our entire day. The band brought incredible energy, from the second line to the final song, and the horns were a major highlight. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so special!

Boulder, Colorado Wedding

Wow—Great Family Artists absolutely rocked our wedding! We had an incredible time dancing for three straight hours—their sound was amazing, and they brought so much energy and fun to the party.

Beyond the performance, GFA was a dream to work with throughout the entire planning process. Taylor and Bryan were especially fantastic—super knowledgeable, organized, and full of great insights when it came to both music vibes and logistics. Every call we had with them was not only productive but genuinely enjoyable.

We also highly recommend having them emcee! Sean was our emcee, and he was outstanding—well-prepared, engaging, and totally in tune with the flow of the evening. He handled last-minute changes (like announcing us sabering champagne!) with ease and enthusiasm.

If you're looking for a talented, professional, and all-around fun team to bring your wedding to life, we can’t recommend Great Family Artists enough!

Far exceeded expectations!

To put into words how elated my wife and I feel about GFA is virtually impossible but I'll my best today so those that are in search of a band (for whatever event) know that this team should be your only option.
My wife and I shopped around quite a bit to find the perfect wedding band that not only performed music well but to accomodate a few of our "non-negotiables". After speaking with our first point of contact, Jonathon Huvard, we knew right away that this team would be a great fit for us. Though, GFA was not the cheapest by any means they were Very fairly priced for the experience we received.
There are some outstanding attributes about this team that I'd like to highlight.
Firstly, I am a musician so my standard for live music can be said that it is elevated than the average listener. Taylor Fredrick, GFA's appointed lead guitarist and conductor, scheduled multiple zoom meetings to ensure our the night was going to flow as smoothly as possible. He, through a few of our song requests, curated the PERFECT playlist that satisfied every age group. Taylor and his band of 8 (2 singers, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, saxophone and trumpet) also far exceeded my talent expectations! For our first dance we chose to have Taylor play and sing "Joy of my life - Chris Stapleton". As you closed your eyes you can almost see Chris Stapleton himself singing to you. No one in this world can sound better than Chris but Taylor gave him a run for his money! Tears come to my eyes as I relive that moment. The rest of the night for the next 2hours was the one of the best concerts our loved ones have ever attended. Their words not mine! One of our guests pulled me aside who saw a touring band the night before and said "These guys are better than the main act I saw last night!". That comment should give you an idea of what kind of performance it was.
Secondly, my wife is a professional event coordinator who was blown away by the production value GFA brought. By default, she assumes some things may go awry in any given event but GFA pulled off the night flawlessly. Bryan Lipman, the coordinating manager, met with my wife and I multiple times on site prior to the wedding to nail down every granule detail. Bryan's natural calm composure and professionalism put us all at ease and made it easy for us to trust that they were going to pull it off!
Lastly, the customer service was impeccable. My wife and I are professionals in our respective industries who are client facing and strive to be referrable. We believe that customer service is non-negotiable and must be provided to every client. GFA did just that. I guess that's why I'm passionately sitting here recommending them to any one in search of an event band. Their communication and organization let us know that they were always 3 steps ahead.

We can't THANK the GFA team enough for helping make our day completely perfect!

Smiling from ear to ear,
Ryota and Liz Nishimura

Amazing band!

Bryan and Taylor are the ultimate professionals. From the minute we held our first call with Bryan we knew we'd have a solid timeline and the best team. He is focused on logistics and you really want this for your big day. Taylor the music director was so fun to work with during the planning phase. And he was our MC and guitarist! The 6 piece band crushed it. All our guests were raving about how they were able to cover the most difficult songs to cover and sounded amazing. We had the best time dancing all night!

Absolutely Incredible – A Band That Delivers Beyond Expectations!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Great Family Artists perform for my grandfather’s 90th birthday celebration, and I cannot say enough good things about them! From quoting with Jonathan to music selections with Taylor to logistics with Bryan, they went above and beyond to make the event unforgettable.

The party was a 1920s-era themed celebration with 100 guests, and not only did they coordinate their attire perfectly to match the theme, but they also curated a stunning setlist tailored to our requests. They took the time to learn older songs to appeal to the crowd and handled on-the-spot requests with ease, showcasing their incredible versatility and talent.

Even though the event took place on a Sunday afternoon (2-6 PM), they brought the energy, got the crowd moving, and created an atmosphere that felt electric and true to the vibe of the era. Their sound engineer also ensured that everything was seamless, and the quality of music was truly unmatched no matter where you were in the room.

As a wedding and event planner, I know firsthand that the vendors you choose make all the difference—and when vendors choose other vendors for their personal events, it’s the highest testament to their caliber and professionalism. I am so glad we chose Great Family Artists. They delivered beyond expectations, and I would highly recommend them for any event where top-tier musicianship and a flawless experience are a must!

Best Band Ever

I can't recommend Great Family Artists enough! We had a five piece band for our wedding in Idaho Springs on 10/13/24. The band was absolutely incredible. All the artists were incredibly talented singers and musicians. Guests all raved about the band and we could not stop watching the drummer. We had contacted and met with a few other bands prior to going with GFA, and they all just seemed pretty uninterested in answering our questions. The moment I met with Taylor from GFA I was sold. Him and the whole team met with my husband and I and answered all our questions, made us feel at ease, were SO responsive to emails, and not one thing went anything but according to plan. If you are having a wedding you NEED them there!

I cannot feel my feet because I never once sat down!

Perfect wedding band!

We got so many compliments on the band at our wedding!! Great Family Artists were a pleasure to work with and elevated our wedding from a great weekend to a spectacular one. The band that showed up was professional, worked quickly to get everything ready under time pressure, and most importantly sounded great all night long. They really understood how to keep people on the dance floor and the momentum going. Beyond the dance music, they worked with us to emcee the whole day and smoothly coordinated music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner with a pause for speeches, reception, and even after party. We had several people reach out to us afterwards asking for their contact information in hopes of hiring Great Family Artists for their own wedding. We can't recommend them highly enough!

AMAZING!! The perfect wedding band!

Everyone and everything about Great Family Artists was absolutely amazing!!!!!! They were extremely easy to work with and great at communicating during our wedding planning process. They were a huge highlight of our wedding day and we continue to hear amazing things about them from all of our guests. The musicians are extremely talented and they were the most fun wedding band I have ever seen. I cannot recommend them more!

Best Wedding Band!

We had the most incredible experience with Great Family Artists at our wedding. The setlist was perfect, and the performers were not only talented but also so much fun. They truly made our day special by being accommodating and making sure to include our favorite songs.

Throughout the process, the team at Great Family Artists was professional and responsive. They listened to our requests with great attention and really understood the vibe we were going for. This made us feel heard and valued as clients, which was very reassuring.

Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect and unforgettable!

GFA is the Gold Standard

It’s difficult to put our appreciation for Great Family Artists into words on a review here. They were absolutely amazing for our wedding. Their attention to detail, attentiveness on planning and communication, and musical expertise is unmatched. Their management team comes from the live music industry and has mastered the ability to pair musicality with event planning - all while handling crazy requests and family members with a smile.

We come from a long background of live music (and so did our guests), and everyone was blown away by GFA and their song selection. This is no generic band operation. They understand the fluid and intricate nature of event planning and work directly alongside you to ensure everyone is where they need to be down to the minute.

They worked with our videographer to share audio and had musical and PA solutions for every step of the night.

Plus they just absolutely brought the funk. Such a perfect set that played to all generations of taste.

The preliminary musical selection process with them was super fun and easy as well. They have done this before.

Audio quality went off without a hitch across musical and vocal PA needs, and it was clear the band understood how to read the crowd and room and play to our energy (best hora ever played).

GFA set the tone for one of the best nights of our lives and the feedback from our guests validates our investment in them. If you are serious about your music choice - don’t mess around with anyone else. Seriously. It’s worth it. GFA will get it done for you. We’re so grateful for them.

Dance the night away!

We hired GFA to perform for our wedding and they more than exceeded our expectations.

Besides being extremely talented, the band's passion and enthusiasm in their craft was infectious with our wedding guests. They had everyone across all generations dancing and signing the entirety of the evening.

Even a week after the wedding, our guests still can't stop talking about them!

Great 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!!!

Get 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!!!

The Best of the Best!!

We hired the Great Family Reunion for our wedding and I could not recommend this group enough. We felt special and cared for from the very first meetings about a year out, all the way through to our wedding night. Bryan and Taylor worked with us to set the tone for our wedding through our music and it was incredible. It's been a month since the wedding and we are still hearing about how electric our dance floor was and we owe it to the band for their set list curation. Thank you Great Family Reunion!!!

Amazing, perfect, and fantastic.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this band. Each individual member was a star- talented, professional, energetic, lively, and kind. The communication was fantastic throughout the process. It felt like we had our own private concert — it was seriously the best live music it’s hard to grasp they played at our wedding. They break the scale on the 5 star rating, we’d give them a million if we could!!

The most special band I have ever seen at a wedding

The dance floor was full from the first set to the last! They were tremendous! I had over a dozen guests ask where we found the band. I cannot stress enough how phenomenal Great Family Artists were. From booking to curating the setlist, it was evident that they have a calculated system to get the party going

Unbelievable!

All I can say is WOW!!! GFR was absolutely incredible at our wedding. We had a 9 piece band including 3 singers. The dance floor was never empty, the range of music was INSANE, the musicians were beyond talented, the energy was electric and the band truly made the night. Not to mention, we had countless guests tell us that GFR was the best wedding band they'd ever heard and we couldn't agree more. GFR blew our expectations out of the water! We also had a live second line and hora that were the cherry on top. The musicians played and sang insanely well. Just WOW! Couldn't recommend GFR enough!!

They were also so easy and communicative throughout the entire planning process.

We had the honor of having them play at our wedding in August at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. They were INCREDIBLE. We got soo many compliments from our guests about how great the band was. They were so easy to communicate with from start to finish and truly a breeze to work with. I would highly recommend using them for your wedding or event!

GFA is THE band for your wedding

Could not have had more of a positive experience with GFA for our wedding. 1000/10. After speaking with multiple wedding bands it was evident that they were the only company in Denver that would be willing to work with us to the extent of our expectations to curate the perfect musical experience for our special day. The band nailed every cover, and sounded absolutely electric the entire night. Huge shout out to their GM, Bryan Lipman for his exceptional customer service and seamlessly delivering the organization's services. And also to Music Director, Taylor Frederick for putting together the perfect collection of songs that resulted in the best night of our lives.

More than we could have dreamed for!

We were married in NYC and interviewed several band options. However, GFR immediately stood out due to the warm and kind presence of the team. The team was extremely organized and proactive throughout the process including reviewing timeline spreadsheets live, suggesting songs and playlists. We were able to create our own playlist on Spotify at our convenience and share with GFR which made it extremely convenient. Thus the process was smooth, organized and the people incredibly kind and professional. But most importantly, the day of the wedding was pure magic. The band was spectacular to the point that several guests pulled us aside and asked where we found them and more than a few said it was the best wedding band they have ever heard. We could not have asked for more and I cannot say enough great things or recommend strong enough!

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!

Amazing wedding band!

We had Great Family Reunion Band play our wedding on 7/15/23 in Keystone, CO and could not have been more happy with their performance. The whole team were absolute professionals. From the early music planning calls to the sound on the day of, everything was top notch. The band learned at least 4 songs for us and performed them like they had been playing them together for years. It felt like going to a concert tailored exactly to us rather than just another wedding band. Worth every penny!

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.

Best 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.

Amazing!

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! I could go on and on about GFR- and so can my guests! I was initially hesitant to book a band as I've heard mixed reviews of bands verses DJs at weddings. If you are in the same boat, BOOK THIS BAND. Not only did they exceed my expectations the day of the wedding, but their communication, professionalism and organization leading up to the event was fantastic. I cannot believe the energy they brought to the party- we had many compliments of "the best wedding they had been to" as well as a dozen people asking for more details for their own professional purposes. I lost my voice and was exhausted from dancing so hard- several times I turned around and was astounded at the talent of each musician. The lead vocalist!! The drummer singing??! The solos?!!! AMAZING. If I have ANY event in the future I will not hesitate to book these guys again. THANK YOU GFR for helping make my wedding the best day of my life.

PHENOMENAL 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.

Bringing the energy & the talent!

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.

Incredible band/day of audio

Great Family Reunion took our wedding to the next level and beyond. They were top notch throughout the entire process. Communication was amazing. Flexibility, suggestions, and collaboration on setlists and how to flow the day to your liking was deeply appreciated. The musicians, singers, lights, day of coordinators, sound engineers and everyone that brings the music and special day to life, was something that we will always appreciate and be thankful for, it was everything and more! We HIGHLY recommend Great Family Reunion no matter the event! Thanks for making our special day so INCREDIBLE!

Best Wedding Band in South Florida

We worked with Jordan and Taylor with Great Family Reunion leading up to our wedding. Their deep understand of music genres, composition, flow, cadence and overall atmosphere resulted in an amazing experience.

We utilized them for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The reception music was performed by an 8-piece band, however they have flexibility to add additional musicians/instruments.

They tailored the music to our eclectic music taste and they delivered an unforgettable night! We can’t speak highly enough about the planning process and overall execution by GFR. If you are looking for the best wedding band in South Florida, we highly recommend Great Family Reunion.

What more can I say other than this band brought the house down. We wasted money on nice chairs at our wedding because everyone was on the dance floor all night. They packed in more energy into a wedding than I’ve ever seen. If your wedding has a Hora this band brings the heat and kept everyone going for nearly 20 minutes.

The best wedding band of all times!

If you are looking for a fantastic wedding band, do yourself a favor and hire Great Family Reunion Band! They played our wedding and absolutely crushed it! The dance floor was packed the entire time these guys were playing. I am still getting calls from friends saying how great the band was.
These guys are great musicians with incredible range. If you want to hear it chances are they can play it and play it well. I'm telling you, if these guys were a touring band, I'd pay a lot to see them.
In addition to being a top notch band, they were so pleasant to work with. You can tell that they actually care a lot about their clients.
Thanks so much, Great Family Reunion Band!

Great 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.

Great 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

Book gfr now!

There are really no words to describe GFR and how awesome they are. We started planning our wedding two years ago (Covid) and quickly fell in love with Jonathan’s style and professionalism.

Over time, we have gotten to know more members of the GFR family (Bryan, Taylor, Liv etc.) and they have all been equally as helpful, talented and charismatic! They helped us with an unconventional first dance song without hesitation, included family members in their performance, and brought so much energy and love to our reception.

1/2 of our night was spent fielding questions from our guests … “who is this band?!”

We absolutely recommend GFR for everyone. They really know how to take your vision and make it all you wanted and more.

Fantastic! Brought the house down!

Truly cannot say enough great things about Great Family Reunion. They put on an incredible show that people are still talking about a month later. It is such a great great feeling to walk through your reception and hear everyone talking about how awesome the band is. Taylor and Bryan were incredible to work with. It is very easy to get in touch and schedule calls with them, and their enthusiasm in the lead up to the wedding really helped get us excited and not just stressed. During one of our first calls with them I mentioned a couple songs that I really liked from John Mayer and expressed that I didn't think they would make good wedding reception songs. To my surprise they had noted what I had said and found a way to make one of them work and it was one of the best parts of the night for me. Do yourself and your guests a favor and book this band.

Best wedding band ever!

WOW! Great Family Reunion was everything we hoped for and more! The planning process was so effortless thanks to Bryan and Taylor! When we got engaged, the one thing we really wanted was an awesome band and GFR did not disappoint! They were so easy and flexible to work with and accommodated to every we wanted. Our formal dances were so perfect and the entire night our crowd was on the dancefloor. Everyone at our wedding is still raving about how amazing this band way! I would recommend GFR to ANYONE! They are absolutely amazing! I did not want them to stop playing and I wish we could relive this day!!

Absolute legends

wow wow wow wow. This is the best wedding band ever. Everything was completely custom and they knocked everyone's socks off. My husband and I were looking for a band that could play Grateful Dead & Phish jams, but most importantly keep EVERYONE on the dancefloor - and they did just that. We still have friends, grandmas, and even our OTHER vendors asking us who our wedding band was, because they were just THAT good. The planning process with GFRB was so fun and easy, every person we met with was professional, knowledgeable, and just really cool people!! If you're looking for an epic party totally customized to your music taste, hire GFRB!

Insanely Good

Simply put, GFR was a HUGE reason why our wedding was so fantastic. Every member of the band was so good and they brought an incredible energy to our reception. Whether it was fantastic vocals, the wild horn solos or just the general vibe, GFR exceeded our expectations (which were high to begin with!!). The dance floor was packed the entire night and the flow of the setlist was perfect and the right mix of exactly what we were looking for. I cannot recommend them any higher, they are a crazy good value for the unbelievable experience you receive. If you are a smart person you will book GFR for your wedding.

GFR Will Absolutely Blow You Away

I wish I could give GFR six stars! The band was absolutely incredible and had everyone dancing all night. I would insist that anyone I know getting married book GFR, as they made our wedding truly unforgettable. Also, Bryan and the rest of the GFR management team made the planning process leading up to the wedding seamless and easy, and we always came away feeling confident that they were going deliver the rocking concert that we were looking for. Thanks again!

1000% Recommend having GFR play your wedding!

GFR killed it! They made the whole process very smooth and actively worked with us to tailor our setlist based on our music preferences. Everything from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and finishing with the epic reception was just unreal! Wish we could do it all again.

GFR is the best!

My guests are STILL talking about how incredible Great Family Reunion band was during our wedding. The dance floor was lit up all night long and they played the best motown bangers to keep the crowd going. I cannot recommend GFR ENOUGH! Not only are their musicians incredible, but working with them prior to the wedding day was seamless -- they were responsive, professional, and fun. Not only that, but they even let our friend join the stage during our wedding to sing Prince's song "1999". 5/5 stars!

Great Performers, Great Planners

We cannot recommend GFR enough! They were top notch performers and took our rough idea for song choices and turned it into a coherent stream of bangers. They kept the dance floor full from the second they went on until the end of the night. GFR was also incredibly organized and made our lives that much easier as we planned everything else. We would give them 10 stars if we could.

Best Wedding Dance Party EVER

GFR put on an AMAZING show for our wedding. The music selection and energy met our high expectations and we were thrilled. Multiple guests of all age groups said they were fantastic and the best wedding band they’ve seen. We are so happy with the memories we made from the GFR’s performance. I would 100% recommend GFR for any event in the future.

Best Wedding Band Ever!

We had really high hopes that Great Family Reunion Band would turn our wedding reception into a party... And they totally exceeded our expectations in every way.
I can't tell you how many people at our wedding approached my wife and I to ask about the band and rave that it was the best wedding band they have ever seen.
This team of talented musicians handled music for every aspect of our wedding, from a two-piece acoustic set at our ceremony, to a three-piece instrumental group for cocktail hour, and finally a five-piece band for the reception. The band covered genres from pop and R&B to rock and even jam band music.
Besides the sheer musical talent of the band members, what impressed us most was the song choices. They clearly took the time to research the music that we love based on our initial phone calls and emails.
With that said, the communication leading up to our wedding was incredibly professional by their band manager, Bryan. He asked all the right questions to determine what type of music we enjoyed and what vibe we wanted to create.
Overall - Regardless of your musical taste, GFRB will guarantee an amazing event for you!

Highly recommended!

These guys are professionals, and if you hire them, you and your guests are guaranteed to have an amazing time. You want a great band for your wedding because they will have a huge impact on your wedding day, and GFR goes above and beyond to deliver.

First off, GFR has incredibly talented musicians. The musicians have a large repetoire of music that they play from which spans any genre you'd want, they're able to take special song requests that they'll learn and arrange, and probably most important of all, they're a tight band and sound great.

Second, working with Jonathan was fantastic. He made the whole process easy without sacrificing attention to detail. He's organized, friendly, can read the room, and is a great MC. My wife and I had a lot of questions throughout the planning stages, and he always had a great attitude and was there to help. He's prepared for anything.

Third, the rest of the GFR team is great. They're there so you don't have to get in the weeds on things like logistics, coordinating with the venue, curating every song on the setlists, etc. They handle all that so you can focus on the big picture and let the professionals take care of everything else. Between Jonathan and his team, you'll be in great hands.

From start to finish, whatever band you hire will help tell the story of your wedding. They'll set the tone leading up to the ceremony. They'll get people comfortable during cocktail hour. They'll set the pace for the dance sets during the reception. They'll play one of the biggest parts of the day, and GFR will do an exceptional job at all of that and more, with ease. They will match your vision of your wedding if you have one, and they'll help you figure out what that vision is if you don't. You and your guests will have time of your lives with GFR. Highly recommended!

Absolutely Incriedlbe!!

I can't even begin to explain how amazing Great Family Reunion was! We got married end of June at a ranch in Colorado Springs and they fit our vibe perfectly. It was honestly like being at a concert and our dance floor was packed all night! They completely made the wedding. All we heard about from our guests after was "that band was the best we've ever seen!!" You can't go wrong with this crew. They will do everything you ask and are able to take the ideas you want for music and bring it to life perfectly. BOOK THEM!! Worth every penny!!! -Kelly & Derek

Impeccable soundtrack to our wedding

I don’t have enough words. This band is everything you could hope for - each are impeccable musicians in their own right and the ensemble is professional, clean, and literally so good is just go see them play any old time! The crew supporting them is just as too notch and handled every over the top request I threw at them. 10/10 would recommend.

Great Family Reunion absolutely crushed it at our wedding! They were so entertaining and played a set that was perfect for us and our wedding guests.

Best Band Choice You Can Make!

Hiring Great Family Reunion was the best decision we made related to our wedding. They were amazing to work with throughout the entire process and absolutely crushed it on the wedding night. They nailed all of our specific song requests, played exactly the types of songs we said we were hoping for and they had amazing energy the entire night! Many of our guests said it was the best wedding band they had ever seen and guests at the wedding of all ages stayed until the very end of their set! (~midnight). Do not look any further, hire this band!

Mishawaka Concert Venue Wedding Night

The Great Family Reunion absolutely crushed it for our wedding day! They were easy to deal with, very professional, and prepared. They played for our ceremony and reception which really made our wedding unique! We had a crazy good time, and they played a great mix of music. I also appreciated their ability to integrate the right amount of requested music with the style they brought, it really made a full experience. I left the dance floor for about 15 min of the whole night. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for quality, classy night of Music! My small wedding party was calling for on-cores like they forgot it was a wedding and they were at an actual concert..... Need I say more this crew rocked!

GFR is the Best!

Great Family Reunion absolutely rocked our wedding! The band was a huge part of our wedding day and super important to us and they did not disappoint. From our first call with Jonathan to the big day, they were extremely professional and also extremely helpful through the entire process. We're a music loving family and group of friends, and we have received non-stop compliments about how awesome the band was. Would highly recommend GFR!

If you're considering hiring them, just do it.

I can't recommend Great Family Reunion enough. From the start, they were a coordinated and professional partner, walking through timelines and getting a feel for what we wanted on our wedding day. We even sprung a few last minute changes on them and they were flexible and understanding. I can't even count how many people raved about the band, said it was the best music they'd seen at a wedding, or asked where we found them. They truly made our wedding what it was and our dance floor was LIT. I can't recommend them enough. If you're considering hiring them, just do it.

The absolute BEST decision for our wedding jams!

All I have to say is WOW. My wife and I were absolutely blown away and all of our expectations were surpassed. We are both huge music lovers and we knew the band was going to be the most integral part of our big day. From Grateful Dead, Phish, Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, multi-generational hits, etc. GFR could play it all and they added a few surprises in their setlist for me that had the energy with our friends and family at 1000%. Our initial discussions with the band helped build our vision and vibes we wanted through the night and how the tempo would build up from start to finish. The whole team was amazing to worth with, communication was excellent, and we could not be more grateful that they were a part of our special day. I'm even more excited I'll get to see them again in a couple weekends for a friend's wedding that I recommended them for. We did an 8-piece band and everyone was so energetic and amazingly talented. They are seriously worth every penny and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Bryan, Jonathan, Taylor, the band, and everyone else involved so much.

I only left the dance floor for water...then it was straight back to dancing

I cannot say enough good things about Great Family Reunion. From the first interaction, to planning, all the way through end of wedding night, the team was highly communicative, helpful, direct, and just a pleasure to work with. And then there’s the music- which was KILLER!!! I had several people tell me they’ve never seen a dance floor so packed for so long at a wedding. I barely left it myself. They accommodated our song requests, MCd the night brilliantly, and generally kept up the party vibe we were looking for. We went for the 8-piece band, along with the new lighting package, and it was 100% WORTH IT. I cried at the end of the night, so happy and grateful for all the musical fun they brought for me and my favorite people. Thanks so much to Bryan and team for all their hard work and beautiful music

Excellent decision!

The Great Family Reunion was an amazing decision for our wedding! They performed for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. My goal was to not leave the dance floor once they started, and I never did! It was so much fun! Even those who swore they weren't dancers joined us on the dance floor! While I didn't get to hear the music before the ceremony, almost every person I spoke to brought up how beautiful it was without a prompt. Taylor and Bryan were incredible to work with leading up to our wedding day. They made sure that the entire day was tailored for us, our tastes, and the environment we wanted for our big day! This was an excellent decision and I would 1000% recommend the Great Family Reunion!

Best Wedding Band Out There

5 stars and beyond. Great Family Reunion were the highlight of our wedding. First, we called GFR over a year out from our wedding and Bryan and Jonathan were so incredibly helpful and thorough from the start. We had several calls together over a year that helped us plan the perfect music plan for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Most wedding bands are corny as hell. This band is not! They set the perfect tone for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and then rocked the hell out of our reception. All of the band members are supremely talented and left our guests amazed, and then tired from all the dancing. Book this band and you won't regret it!

The Best Choice You Could Make!

Booking Great Family Reunion was one of the the best choices we made for our wedding! The solo guitarist at the ceremony was perfect; the jazz music during cocktail hour got the party started; and they kept people dancing all night during the reception with a great setlist. Great Family Reunion handled everything from sound equipment to keeping the night moving smoothly with the emcee. Best of all, they are incredibly talented individuals. Our guests raved about the band. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, high quality band for their wedding or event!

Book gfr now!

Great Family Reunion was AMAZING!!! We were a COVID reschedule couple and GFR was beyond cooperative in helping accommodate our new date with no extra charge. They were extremely communicative throughout the planning process. Bryan was on his A game from the first conversation to the day of. We are general music lovers so we weren't very particular about setting a playlist before hand and GFR did not disappoint. Everyone said they loved the band and the songs we selected and without hesitant we gave credit where credit was due... the band just knew how to keep the party dancing and having a great time. I would 100% recommend GFR and would not hesitate to use them again.

Vail, CO 12.11.21 Alexandra & Treavor

Where do we even begin! GFR was hands down the best band we have ever heard at a wedding... and maybe we are biased because it was our wedding, but they truly knocked it out of the park!

We had a lot of special requests that they were more than accommodating with! From a custom mashup song as our first dance, to a slowed down version of "eyes of the world" for our father daughter dance, to letting one of our groomsmen get on stage and sing Jack and Diane, we truly could not have had a better evening. Not to mention the difficult reception location! They loaded EVERYTHING onto a gondola!

From start to finish GFR was a class act. Responsive, attentive, accommodating, professional, the list goes on and on! And their VOICES! Wow!!

We hope we work together again one day. You simply amazed us.

Love,
Alexandra & Treavor 12.11.21 Vail, CO

GFRB Took It to Another Level!

Summary: GFRB was one of the best and most memorable parts of our beautiful wedding.

GFRB, from the initial introduction through to the last (encore) song were extremely professional, well prepared and experienced, and created a beautiful sound backdrop to our ceremony and fun night of dancing.

When my then fiancee and I were beginning to feel overwhelmed by the number of vendors and choices we had to make in preparation for the wedding, GFRB came in and immediately knew how to approach choosing the type of music, the ceremony songs, the first dance, and the rest of the lineup that made our lives so much easier. They also had a wealth of choices and varieties of music conveniently set up for our listening on Spotify.

GFRB were also willing to work with us on the day, keeping things open regarding our chosen ceremony music (something we couldn't lock down until a week or two prior to the day) and where they setup. They were able to learn a particular song we chose in the end within that last week or two (totally down to our indecisiveness and definitely not recommended) and played it beautifully. We also had an outdoor wedding that was threatened with cold temps and possible rain. They worked with us to wait until the last minute, and thankfully, the weather cooperated and the chance GFRB took in keeping to an outdoor setup under a tent made for the perfect ceremony and dancing late into the night.

And as for the band's performance, we (and every single one of our guests) were quite simply blown away. Every piece of the band and the two (2) singers were incredible, played great songs, and made it feel like our own big concert. This will live long in the memory, because as much as we tried to make everything about our wedding weekend special for us and our guests, the band's performance took it all to another level. It felt almost like being transported away from the hectic wedding prep we had been inundated with over the prior months and had an absolutely great time, truly leaving it all out on the dance floor.

This isn't just a wedding band. GFRB know what they're doing, all the way through, and we owe them so much for making our special day truly memorable.

Thank you to Bryan and the team. Thank you so much! Cheers!

Hands down best wedding band!

Great Family Reunion is the BEST WEDDING BAND OUT THERE!! Words cannot express how awesome our entire experience was in working with them! From the planning stages, to a month out, to the week of, and finally the day of, their crew was right by our side bringing our vision to life!

They executed our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to perfection!! Our wedding would NOT have been the same without Great Family Reunion!

To this day, our wedding guests are still RAVING about how awesome GFR was! It's not very often that you attend a wedding where every guest of ALL ages is out on the dance floor within 10 seconds of the first song! On top of that our dance floor was packed all night long and that is credit to the professionalism, creativity, and strong performers/musicians that GFR puts into their planning for each and every event.

Hiring Great Family Reunion is guaranteed to give you an amazing experience you will never forget, and one that your guests will not forget either!

The Best Band for Music Lovers

Having a band was an absolute must for our wedding, and these guys delivered! In addition to providing an incredible band, they seamlessly coordinated different musician arrangements at different times and places around our venue and learned our requested songs. They were responsive, professional, and were the absolute highlight of our wedding. All our guests were blown away and the dance floor was packed all night long! They truly go above and beyond to make your experience the best. Thanks to Jordan, Jonathan, Bryan, and the whole GFR team for making our wedding one to remember!

Perfect music for every portion of our wedding

When we started planning our wedding we knew that the music was going to be such an important piece of the event and Great Family Reunion nailed every element of it. From the outset they were responsive and professional - especially during a year postponement due to COVID. Jonathan and the team were super easy to work with and accommodating in shifting to the new date and communicative throughout. They were also very effective at coordinating with our venue (which was kind of new to weddings) and arranging everything so that all went smoothly on day of. Then on the day of they absolutely crushed it! They prepared several unique arrangements of personal requests for the ceremony songs and they sounded amazing - it was so special to have those tunes playing during that part of the event. Their ability to capture the mood of each part of the night was impeccable. From the customized ceremony songs they transitioned to a laid back and smooth jazz during cocktail hour, which perfectly set the scene. They easily blended this part of the night into our first dance, which was again a personal request that they made into a beautiful arrangement. Moving into the evening they absolutely crushed the house party vibes for the dancing. Their song selection was spot on for what we wanted and fit the tastes of all our guests - they had everyone at the party dancing all night. But beyond that, they are such talented musicians. We had multiple guests come up to us and comment on how incredible the band sounded in addition to how fun it was. Thank you, Great Family Reunion we could not have asked for a better band to capture such an important element of our wedding. Highly highly recommend!

GFR is the dream team you need for your wedding soundtrack! They took their time truly getting to know us, and understand how we envisioned our wedding day. They brought so much incredible high energy to the wedding and all our guests were having the time of their life (as were we)! We had two separate guests book GFR after hearing them perform at our wedding. The music was even better than I could've imagined. Look no further than GFR :)

Guests thought we were at a concert!

If you want your friends and family on the dance floor the whole night, look no further. GFR was the best wedding band and had everyone on the dance floor! Guests came up to me saying it felt like a real concert. You know they were great when friends asked where they could get the covers to some of the songs...wink ("Atlantic City"). The level of professionalism and talent were through the roof! Could not recommend a better band to play at your wedding.

Best band ever!

BEST WEDDING BAND EVER! Great Family Reunion absolutely killed it. The dance floor was full the entire night. Our wedding guests cannot stop raving about the music. They were able to entertain and appeal our friends, parents, AND grandparents. Our goal was to play some classic wedding hits with jam band and funk and Great Family Reunion hit the nail on the head. On top of that they helped us incorporate a Nola style second line and brought in extra brass players to make our vision a reality. They were so easy to work with and made our wedding absolutely perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Jonathan and his team. They made the night INCREDIBLE!!

Professional and extremely easy to work with!

Both ourselves and our guests could not believe the energy that the Great Family Reunion band brought to our wedding celebration. From the get go, the energy was through the roof and it only went up from there!! This band had everyone on the dance floor and kept it that way the entire night. The quality of there performance was equally met with the pre wedding communication and support. After our first phone conversation with Jonathan, we knew we had made the right decision. He took the time to truly understand what type of music fans each of us are, his professionalism carried on from our first conversation until the end of our wedding night, and he helped put us at ease during our wedding planning. I can not overstate enough how amazing it was to work with this group, how unforgettable and perfect the music was, and how good the Great Family Reunion band is at what they do!!!! Thanks again for everything and who knows maybe theres a second performance in store for our 20th anniversary!

Choosing a band?? This is the single most no-brainer decision of your whole wedding

If you are currently thinking about picking GFR or some other band, you clearly haven’t done your homework. The answer is obvious GFR 10 times out of 10. You will get the most incredible live performance you’ve ever experienced, with big and approachable energy, incredible vocals and range (definitely add the horns section BTW, you won’t regret it), not to mention the most down-to-earth and great client service. These are true musicians who take pride in what they do, and it shows from end-to-end - most especially on your big day.

No doubt 100% recommended!

GFR Band was truly the better than we could've dreamed of in a wedding band. They had multiple calls with us ahead of time to make sure they got to know our music styles and that we felt prepared and in good shape heading into the wedding. At the wedding, they were nothing but professional and allowed us to just show up and enjoy the good music and the best dance floor. We have friends who are musicians who came up to us multiple times throughout the night to talk about how tight the band was and the dance floor was literally packed from start to finish throughout the event given the great playing AND the top-notch playlist. NO DOUBT 100% RECOMMENDED!

Outstanding all around!

We contracted GFR for our entire wedding from start to finish. Bryan Jordan and the team were incredibly accomodating, quick to respond, and helped craft an unforgettable evening that was 100% personalized for us as a couple. Their musicians and singers are incredibly talented and really knew how to read the room to maximize engagement and high energy throughout the night. To top it all off, Jordan was able to arrange for a lighting director and DJ to keep the night going into our after party. The end result was nothing short of perfection. TL;DR - if you have the opportunity to do so, go with GFR you WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Unparalleled Musical Experience!

I can't say enough about the professionalism and quality of this band and its crew. Our wedding planning process spanned over two and a half years - before and throughout the entire pandemic. We rescheduled our wedding twice, but our relationship with Jonathan, the band leader, only grew stronger over that entire period. We never lost touch and were able to stay on the same page with our goals for our wedding evening, and boy, did the band deliver! From the sound check to the main event, the energy of our room was elevated to concert levels and we danced the night away. We loved the openness to ideas and high level of communication we received throughout every phone call in the planning process. The quality of musicianship was unparalleled and anyone looking to bring the "WOW" factor to their wedding, hire Great Family Reunion and rest assured you've made the right decision for not only your spouse, but everyone in attendance.
