Choose Blockhead! They're fantastic

Blockhead was amazing! Our guests cannot, even a month after the wedding, stop talking about how fantastic the music was. They kept the dance floor hopping all night. They were incredibly easy to work with, so reasonably priced, and truly just a highlight of our wedding experience.

Made our wedding SO much fun!

We hired Blockhead for our wedding on 10/15/22 and it was easily the best decision we made in the planning process. Can’t say enough good things about this group of talented musicians and our friends and family can’t stop talking about how awesome the band was. From taking care of the sound/gear for the ceremony, acoustic for cocktail hour, jamming out at the reception and DJ-ing our fave hits during the breaks - they did it all. They were professional, responsive, easy going and just an absolute pleasure to work with.
