    Matchmaker, our perfect match.

    Matchmaker was extremely professional and provided outstanding music for our wedding event. Throughout the planning they were responsive and flexible, allowing us to make many changes as the plan evolved.

    From the first chord through to the last rambunctious song of the evening, the music and musicians exceeded expectations, and the sound technician was excellent to work with.

    A wonderful and unanticipated maneuver was a SEAMLESS transition between Gone to Texas country band, and Matchmaker. It kept the energy high and the dance-floor overflowing. We were afraid of losing guests during transitions, but they were so smooth that we didn’t lose one.

    Despite rain at our event everyone involved played and performed in a very professional manner. Our high expectations were not only met, but exceeded!

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    Hi Fiona, thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy we could celebrate with you all! The Matchmaker and Gone To Texas mix was definitely one for the books! :)

    The dance floor was packed!!

    Love & Happiness Band was amazing!! We had them at our wedding celebration and the dance floor was packed! They were a pleasure to work with in the planning stages, during the event and after. They reached out with a wide list of songs for us to choose some of our top songs and “don’t play” list then they curated a perfect set list for the entire party. The energy was amazing the whole time and our guests event weeks later are still talking about how awesome the band was. I highly recommend Love and Happiness! A bit thank you to the whole team!

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    Hi Ali, thank you for the sweet review! We are so happy to hear Love and Happiness made your wedding reception all that more special!

    Moontower + Matchmaker is the Best

    This group and band is amazing!! We hired Matchmaker to play at our wedding after listening to them at another venue in town. They are so talented and professional - and they have their performance down to a science. You will love it and your guests will love it. Its worth going to one of their shows - you only need to see them once to understand how and why they are so good.
    I also want to call out that they are equally as organized and professional in the background. As anyone planning a wedding or an event learns, communication is important. The Moontower team is phenomenal to work with and made our lives super easy.
    If the band/music is important to you. I would recommend Moontower and Matchmaker 100%

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    Hi Nick!! We LOVED celebrating with y'all! Thank you for the kind words and we are so happy we could make your special day all the better!

    Unmatched Talent!

    Our wedding planner recommended the Matchmakers saying that they put on an incredible performance. No doubt these this band is was nothing short of extraordinary.
    The musical prowess of the Matchmakers is truly exceptional. They will make a personalized set based on music that you like and that you want to hear on the special day. Their versatility allowed them to effortlessly transition between genres, creating a dynamic and energetic atmosphere that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. The talent displayed by each member of the band was not only evident but also infectious – their passion for music radiated throughout the entire venue.
    THEY BROUGHT THE ENGERY. Their ability to read and interact with the crowd increased and maintained everyone’s energy at the wedding. The Matchmakers had an uncanny knack for choosing the right song at the right time. Their ability to engage with the audience created a connection that made our wedding celebration truly memorable.
    The level of professionalism exhibited by the band was commendable. Leading up to the wedding, they were organized, responsive, and attentive to our musical preferences. On the day of the event, they arrived promptly, set up seamlessly, and worked seamlessly with other vendors to ensure a smooth flow of the entire event.
    The quality of sound and production was top-notch, and it was evident that the band takes great pride in delivering a polished and refined performance. Their attention to detail, from the tightness of the instrumentals to the clarity of the vocals, was impeccable.
    Our guests have not stopped raving about the incredible music at our wedding. Would recommend the Matchmakers to anyone! Thank you, for making our wedding absolutely incredible!

    Thank you so much, Kevin!! We are so happy you enjoyed having us, and we loved being a part of your special day!

    Matchmaker is the Best!

    Matchmaker kept the dance floor packed all night. All of our guests commented on how amazing they were! Prior to the wedding, they were responsive to any questions and easy to work with. You can't go wrong hiring them for your wedding!

    Amazing band!

    Had Matchmaker Band play at my wedding and they were phenomenal! Couldn’t have asked for a better performance. The energy, skill, stage presence, everything was top notch. I’ve had numerous people ask about them afterwards.

    They play every week at a local bar, so if you are on the edge go check them out in person.

    I dealt with Amos and he was very responsive and helpful

    Incredible

    Matchmaker did everything to make this the most amazing day for us. first of all the sign up process is super streamlined and was easy to add on more products like a string trio. Next was the music selection which they give you a list and you pick 10 must plays and 10 do not plays, and they take that and run with it to create the perfect playlist. we also provided first dance, mother son and father daughter dances along with any other details we felt like including, like a special request for an intro song.
    the day of was seamless and they came in and set everything up. our main hope was that everyone would be out on the dance floor by the end of the night and that was certainly the case with match maker playing. They started off the dinner set playing some great motown classics to ease into the night and with each set they started to play more and more songs to get people moving and shaking. Ultimately reaching a crescendo toward the end of the night with everyone screaming Backstreets back at the top of there lungs (the crowd was mostly 80's and 90's babies). they were so attentive, interactive with the crowd and really just knew what was needed for everyone to have a blast. Highlights: they pulled us up on stage(not planned) to sing one of our requested songs(you don't have to go up there if you don't want, but we were all about it), the soul train dance line that one of the singers initiated. Proud Mary being played where everyone was in a full on dance circle.
    couldn't recommend them more!

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    Hays, you've really made our day with this wonderful review! We’re over the moon that Matchmaker could help make your day a bit more unforgettable, and seeing everyone out on the dance floor is what we love the most! A huge thank you for having us, and here’s to many more dance circles and soul train lines! 🎉

    Band of the Year

    We had the Matchmaker band for our wedding in July and they absolutely killed it. Leading up to the day, Amos, Drew, and team were consummate professionals answering all our emails and being available to us when we wanted to talk things over on the phone. We even asked for a special tribute song before dinner and they did an incredible job. Finally the actual set - Their energy and talent was absolutely off the charts. Can't thank them enough for the incredible evening which could not have been possible without them!

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Sam!!!! We had a fantastic time entertaining you and your guests on your special day!

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    Matchmaker Band blew us away! We didn't get a chance to see them live before we booked them for our wedding as we live out of state--but they truly were so amazing!! One of the best bands we've seen(we go to A LOT of weddings) & we're so happy we went with them. I don't think there is one guest who didn't mention how great they were. They were easy to communicate with and created an awesome setlist that kept the party going all night. Highly recommend :)

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    You were amazing! We had a great time performing for you and your guests. Congratulations once again, and we wish you all the best!

    Matchmaker made the party!

    We are SO glad we chose Matchmaker for our wedding. We had them play a jazz trio during our cocktail hour and then the full band during our reception, plus the New Orleans Second Line send off at the end of the night, which was a really fun finishing touch! They made the night and our reception just wonderful. Our guests had a fantastic time and have raved about it afterwards. They were so accommodating, responsive and easy to work with the entire time. The quality of the singing and the music is outstanding. We can't recommend them highly enough. Book them - you will be so glad you did!!!

    Matchmaker Band's reply:

    Congratulations & thank you for trusting us!!! We had such an amazing time it really was a dreamy wedding.

    Incredible

    This is the best band in America. I am not kidding. They are amazing. All of my guests were RAVING. Did not take too many breaks either. Cannot say enough about them.
    Also-Torri sang vocals at my ceremony, 10/10 would recommend. So so good.

    Our dream wedding band!!!

    There are no words to describe how incredibly perfect our experience was with Matchmaker Band for our wedding day in Horseshoe Bay! The communication leading up to the event was amazing, they catered to our song list flawlessly, and delivered a performance unlike any other. They even let the father of the bride, who plays bass guitar, perform with the band for a song! The dance floor was absolutely buzzing all night long and our friends and family continue to talk about how this is the best wedding band they’ve ever seen! And those vocals? UNREAL!!! Thank you Matchmaker for being such an important part of the best day our lives!

    Matchmaker Band is the band to HIRE!

    We hired Matchmaker Band for our daughter's wedding at The Arlo in Austin, TX. This band was fabulous! They had everyone dancing all night long! Their energy was contagious and their talented singers and band members made the reception/dance a true party! We highly recommend this band for a fun event.

    Best wedding band ever!!

    Matchmaker is the absolute best wedding band you can imagine. They play every genre of music and the dance floor was packed from beginning to end! And they were so great to
    work with work during the planning stage, allowing us to fully customize our music list from
    Must Haves to Don’t Plays. They even let the father of the groom sit in on guitar for one song! The band received rave reviews from all of our guests and made it a night to remember!

    Absolutely Supreme!

    For my daughter's wedding reception July 2nd, 2022, Matchmaker was absolutely electrifying, stunningly terrific! EVERYONE was on the dance floor all night! As Mother-of-the-Bride, I am from the greatest musical generation ever, MOTOWN, and their renditions of the classics were superb. I truly respect and love this group and recommend them at the highest level possible.

    Absolutely amazing experience

    Every one of our guests told us that Matchmaker was the single best wedding band they have ever heard and made for one of the most fun weddings they've ever been to. I listened to a handful of wedding bands live to make a selection, and the moment I stepped out of my car in the parking lot at Far Out Lounge where they were playing, I knew they were the one. Matchmaker was phenomenal through every stage of planning - super communicative, great to work with, friendly, and even gave really helpful suggestions on my day-of timeline. The performance at the wedding itself was just unbelievably good, so engaging and incredibly talented musicians. Not a single person was sitting the entire reception.

    One of our best wedding decisions!

    The band was one of the best parts of the wedding. They made the party, they are professionals, it was a complete package, great sound, great voices, great energy, FUN! Guests would comment on what a great band they were. Some guests asked if we had their contact information for booking. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND! One of the best decisions we made for the wedding!

    Fabulous band!

    The band was my daughter's number one priority! We hired Matchmaker without hearing them live, so we were a little nervous! We watched YouTube videos and thought they were good. Well their performance at our wedding exceeded our expectations! They were AMAZING! They engaged the crowd and played all the songs we requested! All of our guests thought they were the best wedding band they have ever heard! I even had a few contact us on Monday inquiring about hiring them for their next event! I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding!

    Don't walk, RUN to book Matchmaker!!

    We hired them for a jazz dinner set + 2 dance sets and they did not disappoint! The jazz set was groovy and perfect for a mingling dinner. The band could not have been more helpful and easy to work with along the way. We had quite a few special requests -- the band played with my MOH who sung during our first dance song, provided all sound equipment for our ceremony musician and officiant, and all of the equipment for our friend to late-night DJ. We had so many guests ask about the band after the event wanting to book them. Best night of our lives, THANK YOU Matchmaker!

    Our guests raved about the band!

    Matchmaker Band was exceptional! We first hear them at Motown Monday in South Austin and immediately knew we wanted to have them as our wedding band. All of our guests were blown away by the band's performance and we had a blast dancing to the variety of music they played. I would 100% recommend Matchmaker Band for any wedding or event. They know how to put on a show!
