FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! We had lots of variety in our set list and people who NEVER dance were dancing that night. They perfectly executed our ceremony by keeping everyone on track and helping the entire wedding flow naturally from event to event. There was nothing stuffy about them and everyone said it was the most unique/FUN/Concert like/but intimate entertainment they had seen at a wedding. They provided mc services, ceremony music, live music and a DJ booth!! Their voices are insanely great!!! Sooooo much to offer and they over delivered what they were selling!!! Seriously a flawless setup! They also had their own coordinator to be the eyes and ears during the wedding and she was awesome too! Such a professional group of people and insanely fun!! Not only would I hire them for your wedding but any event they would absolutely CRUSH!! So happy! Look forward to hiring them again for our next big event!

WOW. Megan this review is equally Fan-Freaking-Tastic!! You were SUCH a joy to work with. I loved our calls and all of our prep work together, and our texting-Gif-game so much!! Your wedding will stick out to us for years to come. You could just feel so much love and support for you and Ruben's marriage, and all that you had accomplished as a couple already. You certainly over delivered on your end too with turning a brand new piece of property into a wedding reception!! Thanks for everything. And may your marriage be as epic as your wedding day! - Jackie

The Gibbonses absolutely rock. Jackie and Brandon are incredibly talented, organized, put-together, and above all — so fun! Working them was a breeze. We had a few calls with them before the wedding to chat about our vibe as a couple, what we hoped for for the reception, etc. They asked questions I would never have even thought about and learned a couple of my husband’s and my favorite songs to play at the wedding. Our guests RAVED about them — seriously, these two have serious singing/guitar/drumming/you name it skills. Their set-up is perfect, and Brandon MC’d our entrances, toasts, dances, etc. You can tell that these two know and LOVE what they do. Their coordinator also was present at the wedding and got some of the songs on video, which was such a lovely surprise to see when it was all over. I hope I get to throw a big party and work with them again!!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing starts at a 2-hour minimum and our quotes include all travel and accommodations unless otherwise specified. Payments can be made by check, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle. Credit/Debit Cards are also accepted but will incur a 3% transaction fee.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You will always start with phone call with me, Jackie, where I learn about your ideas and visions for your event and decipher if we are the best fit to help you bring it to life! If it's a go for both of us, I send you a contract and ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to officially lock in your event and take the date off of the market. Leading up the event, we chat details and make sure we all have the necessary information we need to ensure a successful event! We typically show up 2-3 hours prior to the event start time. We set up, soundcheck, collect the final payment. Then – WE ROCK 'N ROLL, BABY!!!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Jackie was formally trained at The Boston Conservatory for Musical Theatre. Brandon was formally trained at Hartford Conservatory of Music. Both received the training that's ACTUALLY needed for this business while working as musicians and upper management in a Top 40 cover band for Carnival Cruise Lines! ;)
