    Best band ever

    My husband Ian and I absolutely loved Universal Crush. We will be recommending them to every one we know looking to have a band at their event. Everyone was on the dance floor and it was the best performance. Our families also loved the professionalism. Universal Crush genuinely cared about making everyone happy and that is hard to come by. Thank you so much for everything. Blair is incredible.

    Hands down, best night of our lives. Thanks to Universal Crush

    Blair, et al,

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for giving us the BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES. The music, the performance, EVERYTHING was incredible. I asked for a concert and you delivered that and more. Everyone, and I literally mean everyone, has been nonstop talking about you and your group of amazing performers. Thank you again for giving us the best night ever, we sincerely mean it.

    Love,
    Miles + Brielle

    Best Wedding Dance Party

    Blair and Universal Crush had our wedding party dancing from song #1! Our friends all commented on how great the party was with UC. Blair was great to work with and listened to what we wanted unlike other bands we interviewed that only wanted to do “their thing”. You will be happy you chose Universal Crush

    Best. Wedding. Band. Ever.

    We knew before our wedding day that Universal Crush were incredibly talented and looked super fun based on their amazing video reels. We knew they were kind, fun and easy to work with based on our initial conversations with Blair leading up to our wedding. However, nothing could have prepared us for how insanely amazing they are live! It just cannot be overstated...everything about their performance is absolutely incredible! The energy, the talent, the wardrobe changes, the stage presence...it is literally impossible to believe that any other wedding band could match them. They were SOOO amazing that our guests all screamed for an encore at the end of the night. I've NEVER seen that happen at a wedding before, but it happened at ours...and was totally warranted. After the wedding, we got lots of compliments on the food and how fun the day was overall, but the most common thing people said to us was, "Oh my God. That wedding band...!" My husband and I even hung out for a few minutes after our reception when the guests left the ballroom to thank Universal Crush again and tell them how much we love them. It was truly a sensational performance! Now we're just left trying to figure out how we might see them perform again...and we're not above crashing someone else's wedding to do it!

    The BEST Wedding Band There Is!!

    As a wedding planner with 100s of weddings under my belt, I can confidently say that Universal Crush is the BEST wedding band there is. Blair, the lead singer and manager is amazing to work with. He is easy-going, yet professional, thorough and detail oriented. He takes time to ask about the little details to make sure the entire reception is smooth and perfect. He is on point with his announcements, and goes with the flow when there are changes to the timeline on the day of. Many bands we have worked with have large egos and completely unrealistic expectations, making it a complete drag to work with them - but that couldn't be further from the truth with Universal Crush. They were an absolute joy to work with. And to top it all off - their performance was the BEST I've ever seen. It was full of energy from the minute they start to the second they stopped. They read the crowd perfectly, played a full list of top hits and kept the dance floor packed the entire night! Universal Crush is THE BEST wedding band there is! Can't wait to work with them again!!

    Crushed it!

    By far the best wedding band we've ever experienced. They made our day truly special and were an important part in making our night one that will last in our guest's and our memories forever. They are very professional, super easy and fun to work with, and will make your dreams come true. They really put on a fantastic performance and have the perfect wedding setlist. I would highly recommend them to anyone, so worth it!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Where do we even begin! From the moment I met Blair his enthusiasm, know-how and skills were evident and completely contagious. He knows how to get the party started and go all night long. I knew that Blair and the band were great but they BLEW ME AWAY. Not to mention- mother nature was not in our favor for the outdoor event....they not only set up but took everything down last minute and re-set the stage in another spot (which is unheard of).
    The week of the wedding our client had some special request and Blair was open to new song requests and his band learned the new music in a matter of days! They were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond. Universal Crush is every wedding planner's dream and more! They are more than 5 star - excellent choice! You won't be sorry and worth every single penny!

    The absolute BEST!

    Universal Crush absolutely exceeded our expectations and truly “crushed” our wedding. When we booked UC, we knew we were getting a very talented group with great vocals, but we didn’t realize they were also going to deliver such an amazing, high energy performance. Everyone in the group is extremely talented and can more than hold their own performing at a wedding or in front of a sold-out crowd at a large concert. Everything they did was first class, from their dancing, vocals, wardrobe changes, and overall fun and outgoing personalities. Our wedding crowd was on their feet dancing all night, and UC really helped make our special night that much more special. We highly recommend UC and look forward to seeing them again when we get to Nashville.

    Simply Amazing!

    Universal Crush performed at a wedding we produced and did an amazing job! They set the tone for the night, had high energy and the guests danced all night! They were also very professional and extremely easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them for a wedding or any corporate event!

    Amazing! A+++ Highly Recommend

    Universal Crush was amazing. Anytime we needed a call they were available. They traveled from Nashville to Savannah and absolutely "crushed" it! Playing a mix of oldies, country, pop, and more! They had the dance floor rocking all night long with a ton of high energy. They made the night for us! From being easy to work with to actually performing great we highly recommend Universal Crush!

    Awesome band with great energy and presence - memories for a lifetime

    Universal Crush and Blair Gilley absolutely CRUSHED it at our wedding at the Hermitage Hotel. Don’t walk - run - to book them. They are a newer band but set any reservations about that aside - all are experienced musicians who truly rock. Of all the bands we considered, they had the best playlist, and worked with us to pick songs from the list that were our favorites. Even people who had never heard the songs before raved about them, and I can’t say enough positive things about Blair’s demeanor - in addition to being a top notch performer, he was incredibly responsive and a true pleasure to deal with in planning. I grew up in Nashville and have been to shows large and small, from Coachella and Bonnaroo to small strip mall venues, and they’re not just a fantastic wedding band, they are an unbelievable band. Only love for these folks. Lisa Miller - April 18, 2018

    You are awesome!


    I had my first wedding with Universal Crush on Saturday and they hit it out of the park! The planner came on board after the band was booked and was a little nervous since she’d never worked with them before. Well, she just emailed me and said the band was fantastic, and she’s going to recommend them for all of her weddings. She also said the venue would be calling me to book them for an upcoming event.
    Congrats, Blair! Awesome job – thank you so much!
