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!

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 :)
- Jessica N.
My daughter wanted her wedding to be a big party. I cannot imagine any band making this happen more than Matchmaker band. They had everyone of all ages on the floor dancing and singing all night long. They are each so talented. They bring the whole package with them, even lights. I highly recommend them .
