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

Amazing, talented duo. Great musicians and awesome people, having the Gibbonses perform at our party took it to the next level. The music and energy level was perfectly matched with the event and they were instrumental in controlling the tone of the party. Perfectly engineered sound and musical talent for days, we'll definitely keep track of them musically, hire them repeatedly and recommend them voraciously ;)!

Can not find enough ways to say how amazing the Gibbonses are. The entire performance blew us away! They had the crowd entertained by knowing exactly what songs to play and killed it on the performance the whole time! Their vocals are amazing, they are charismatic, and makes everyone want to get up and dance. I can not recommend the Gibbonses enough! They were a huge highlight for my wedding and make the reception fun, lively and got everyone up and having a great time. They are easily a 10/10!

Thanks Carsyn!! You two were just so cute and fun to work with!

They were a fantastic band that did a great job at our corporate event. They sound awesome and are so fun to watch perform. Our guests raved about how great they were and wanted to know where I had found them. They were so easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for your party or event.

Thank you SO much Shay! We absolutely LOVED this event. It was incredibly well organized and gorgeous. Your guests made it easy to have fun since they were so engaging, even while trying to network and enjoy the food & open bar! Hope to work with you again on the next one. ;) -Jackie (& Brandon)

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! ;)
