The most amazing and engaging band!!!

I cannot begin to put into words how amazing this band is. One of the few things we knew from the beginning of our wedding planning process was that if we could pull off a live band, that is what we wanted. We love to dance and our friends/family have always loved a good party. Matchmaker band did the most amazing job keeping everyone entertained and up and dancing all night!!

I dreaded the idea of music selection but they made it so simple with a list of loves and a list of avoids. This took so much stress off of us and they did such a great job picking songs that matched the vibe we told them we were going for and the songs that we provided on our "Love it" list. They also read the room perfectly and did a great job of matching the vibe of the moment.

Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they are very talented entertainers. The singers had matching dance moves and even came out onto the dance floor to interact with people and get everyone hyped up. The number one compliment we got after our wedding was how amazing our band was, and we have had multiple people ask for their information for future weddings/events. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS BAND AGAIN. They are truly amazing and worth every penny you invest if you're looking to have great music for entertainment and dancing.

Matchmaker, our perfect match.

Matchmaker was extremely professional and provided outstanding music for our wedding event. Throughout the planning they were responsive and flexible, allowing us to make many changes as the plan evolved.

From the first chord through to the last rambunctious song of the evening, the music and musicians exceeded expectations, and the sound technician was excellent to work with.

A wonderful and unanticipated maneuver was a SEAMLESS transition between Gone to Texas country band, and Matchmaker. It kept the energy high and the dance-floor overflowing. We were afraid of losing guests during transitions, but they were so smooth that we didn’t lose one.

Despite rain at our event everyone involved played and performed in a very professional manner. Our high expectations were not only met, but exceeded!

The dance floor was packed!!

Love & Happiness Band was amazing!! We had them at our wedding celebration and the dance floor was packed! They were a pleasure to work with in the planning stages, during the event and after. They reached out with a wide list of songs for us to choose some of our top songs and “don’t play” list then they curated a perfect set list for the entire party. The energy was amazing the whole time and our guests event weeks later are still talking about how awesome the band was. I highly recommend Love and Happiness! A bit thank you to the whole team!
