Jonny couldn't have been better! I hired him last minute to perform our wedding ceremony in Beaver Creek. When I contacted him, he told me that he already had plans to fly out the day of my wedding to fly cross-country for a wedding the next day. Despite all that, he considered the possibility and ended up rearranging his flight (I paid for the flight difference), made it to our wedding, and to his wedding the next day in Michigan, all without a hitch!
We went off of Jonny's set list that he sent over ahead of time, but there was one song we really wanted that he didn't know ("First Day of my Life" by Bright Eyes), but lowe and behold, Jonny learned the song last minute and played it for us. That was really the icing on the cake that was our wedding, and I always remember that song and that special gift that was part of our wedding.
I had heard about Jonny through my sister, who had hired him and his band for her wedding about 12 years ago in Vail, and it was THE BEST. His band's set list was on point--everyone was dancing, and many people told me and my sister the next day that they felt like they were at a concert. It was so good.
Jonny is a true professional, and a kind soul. He--alone or with his band, either way--would be my go-to for any future event for which I needed musical talent.
5 stars all day!
Jonny was absolutely amazing!! He played for us at our welcome party and everyone loved the music! He truly has such a wide range in vocals and songs he can play which made the evening extra fun. He is a Vail legend and can often be seen around town playing at Après which made it extra special to have him there. We highly recommend him!
Jonny was amazing!! We used him for our wedding at Piney, so great and everyone loved it. Highly recommend!!
Jonny is the absolute best!!! We met him while he was playing shows in Vail last year before we were engaged. He is absolutely an amazing musician and entertainer. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted to fly him out to Ohio for our wedding reception. Planning travel was easy and stress free. Everyone at our wedding loved him and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision.
We had a wonderful experience working with Johnny Mogambo band. Professional, fun, communicative and overall awesome!!!!
Jon and his band played our wedding in Telluride a couple weeks ago, and they were incredible. I think they're the best band I've ever seen at a wedding, and though I'm biased (it was my own, after all), I haven't had a conversation with any friends/family since the wedding where Jon and band were not mentioned as being an absolute highlight. The main thing we asked of Jon was to create a party atmosphere with people glued to the dancefloor, and they absolutely delivered on that. Jon was great to work with and skillfully handled some special requests, among them: instrumentals at the ceremony and allowing my wife to secretly plan and sing a song with them during the reception. If you want to ensure your wedding is a blast with the band at the center of the fun, you cannot do better than Jon and team.
These guys rocked for us. Set list was amazing and they even learned our first dance, mother/groom, and father/bride songs as well. Could not be happier with them. 12/10
We could not have been happier with Johnny mogambo band at our wedding! The dance floor was packed the entire time and multiple guests came up and told us how much they liked the band. From young to old, everyone was dancing and loved the song selection! Great communication throughout the whole time before the wedding, awesome help during ceremony and amazing music during cocktail and reception. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have an unforgettable time!
I was just advising someone who’s planning a wedding to use these guys and realized I never reviewed them. We had a full wedding planned for 2020, and had to reschedule. Jonny worked with us through the whole Covid wedding debacle with kindness and care. Then they played for our 2021 wedding celebration and they were incredible. Dance floor was full the whole time and people still ask me about them. Thank you, Jonny Mogambo Band!
We had the Jonny Mogambo Band play for a private party where they started out during our cocktail hour playing some great acoustic music and then their band came on after dinner and put on an amazing show that got all of our friends and family dancing all night long! Their band is very original in their presentation of songs and when they let that saxophone, keyboard or guitar player take some solos, they were simply amazing to hear. This was like being at a great concert! They were very professional to work with, on time and on point for everything involved with our party. Their experience with all things party related helped make our event run more smoothly. I recommend this band to anyone looking for a high energy musical experience that will give your party that extra edge that will make it unique to all your guests.
The Jonny Mogambo band was such a highlight of our wedding. They both DJed (during the reception and dinner) and played live music and executed both perfectly. Everyone in the band is so talented and our guests raved about how much they loved them. Jonny was professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Couldn't recommend them more!
IF YOU WANT AN AMAZING WEDDING, THEN YOU NEED THE JONNY MOGAMBO BAND!
Jonny Mogambo Band crushed it! We went through the whole process with Jon. I wish we could post some videos on here but it was all our wedding guests could talk about. Amazing first dance, father daughter, and mother son. Played a mixed song list for all guests, not just classic wedding songs but went above and beyond with the song choices and REALLY engaging with the audience. All around just the best time and super amazing to work with! We will be going out of our way to find the next time they are playing and look forward to catching you guys again soon! THANK YOU!
If you are looking for a band to get people on their feet dancing than look no further! Jonny and his band are amazing!
Jonny is very responsive and did an amazing job making sure we were taken care of throughout the whole process. They play an amazing list of diverse songs and even got people who "don't dance" out of their seats.
Couldn't have envisioned it any better and had almost every attendee tell us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding.
Hats off to Jonny and his band!
Jonny and his band were great! We had him and a keyboardist play during our cocktail hour and the full band play the reception. He also MC'd the reception which made everything run smoothly.
I'd give 5 stars, but there were specific songs from their song list we shared with him before the wedding that held meaning for my family, but they weren't able to play. With that said, this probably could've been solved with more clear communication.
Overall though, the dance floor was packed and band sounded great!
Jonny Mogambo Band was top notch! They are all incredible musicians who brought the energy and the party. Great song selection and set flow. Jon was easy to work with and flexible during the planning process as well as the event. I was able to sing my wife a song and we had a family jam with the band. What a blast! Definitely made our wedding even more memorable than it already was. I would highly recommend Jonny Mogambo band to anyone who wants to bring their wedding reception to the next level. Thanks again!
We had a fantastic night with the Jonny Mogambo Band! They handled everything from ceremony, cocktail, dinner and reception music while ensuring the night ran on schedule. Jonny was great to work with from the beginning. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. This is a band you do not want to miss!
Jonny Mogambo Band was AMAZING for our wedding! Jonny himself learned a new song so he could sing as I walked down the aisle and the band as a whole was a big hit at our wedding! We can't recommend them enough!
Jonny and his band made our wedding a real party. He and his female singer have amazing voices and the whole band's energy got people onto the dance floor all night long. He learned the father/daughter dance song per our request and performed it beautifully. We can't imagine people having had nearly as much fun without Jonny Mogambo Band!
Unreal is the only word to describe The Jonny Mogambo Band! He was extremely easy to work with, super laid back, but very professional all at the same time. My wife already sent in a review but I felt compelled to give him another one since he was that good. He listened to our vows and created our own song at the ceremony which was absolutely incredible and something we will never forget. He got everyone, young and old, dancing and on the dance floor. Thank you so much, Jonny! I’m going to hire you for my 40th!
Johnny and band were great! He gave us lots of options. We ended up doing acoustic for ceremony and cocktail hour, with 5 piece band— until they kicked us out! They have a large list of tunes, across all genres, so you can select from all your favorites. We got everything from CCR to Daft Punk, and a special home grown tune based of our vows :). Our friends and family all loved the music, and Johnny was super easy and accommodating to work with.. highly recommend!
The band was amazing. They put on a fantastic, high energy show, tailoring the song selections to the crowd's reactions. Everyone had a GREAT time as a result. My only regret is that we couldn't keep the party going longer due to a noise ordinance. I would definitely hire them again.
We don't get married often but if we did, we would hire Jonny every. single. time. He set the tone for the party and seamlessly lead it to a roaring crescendo. His music and energy had every guest gravitate towards the dance floor, if not to dance then to participate in the incredible ambiance that Jonny and his band was crafting throughout the night. Jonny flawlessly transitioned between musical genres to ensure that all guests stayed engaged and was able to put his own special touch on everything he and his band played. It made it seem like every song was uniquely composed just for us and our wedding. He was extremely accommodating to our requests for certain songs that held special meaning for us and even allowed me, the groom, to do a special performance with the band. He was so in tune with the flow of the party that there was never a moment when we felt like we needed to move things along, Jonny was always there to guide the guests to the next phase with always the perfect song selection. The dance party that occurred on our wedding night was one of the greatest that any of our guests had ever experienced. I cannot stress enough how important the music is for any party and with Jonny and his band, you can rest assured that your party will not lack in entertainment. I highly recommend his services for any occasion and always encourage you to seek him out at the many local venues he often plays at.
Fabulous band from start to finish! First, they are excellent performers and musicians! Always knew what music to play to keep the dance floor full. Great stage presence is an added aspect to any event. Know how to MC an event, especially a wedding. Easy to work with and very professional in all aspects from signing the contract to set-up and tear-down.
Jonny Mogambo was an AMAZING addition to our wedding. The live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour were perfect, and the DJing during & after dinner for dancing was on point. All of our guests raved about him. Jon was so easy to work with and so much fun to have at the wedding. He was responsive to questions leading up to the wedding, and was very transparent about his schedule if there would be a delay in responding. Highly HIGHLY recommend him for any event!!!
The Jonny Mogambo Band was absolutely incredible! If you want to have the best time ever and get your guests on the dance floor, this is your band! I was literally on the dance floor all night long! The amount of energy they had was off the charts and they make it all about the bride and groom which was important to me. The Jonny Mogambo Band can throw a party so if you want your guests to keep talking about how great your wedding was for weeks and years after...hire them! We loved them!
I’ve known Jonny for a long time, and grew up listening to him play Apres in Vail. I jokingly asked him to play at my future wedding some day, and once I was engaged, he was the first call I made. Wow does he have talent. He played solo at the ceremony, then during dinner & reception with the band. They had the dance floor jam packed all night long. We are still receiving compliments from our guests for how great our band was. Thank you Jonny for absolutely killing it!!!
Jon was recommended to us by a good friend, and we're so grateful we hired his band. It was a huge load off of my shoulders to know that no matter what mishaps occurred during the day, everyone would forget them in the rocking dance party. They did not disappoint! Jon's classic rock genre did a great job of getting everyone off their feet from Gen-Z to my 90-year old grandfather. Everyone had their favorite band member, but I think the sax player was the "favorite" favorite.
Jon's great to work with, too. He patiently worked with us through a few rounds of revisions & schedules until we were happy. These guys are total pros and you can script things out or just let them flow. At some point, I ran up to the stage and asked Jon to swap out lyrics mid-song, and he happily obliged. Seriously, hire them!! What are you waiting for?
Jon and his band are absolutely the best. My daughter and now husband picked out their favorite songs from Jon’s huge selection of songs and they crushed it. The energy that they bring kept everyone on the dance floor until the 12pm cut of time. No one wanted it to end. If you want an epic wedding you have to have a great band. Jon and his band are the answer. Highly recommend them!!
If you are looking for a band that will get the crowd going, look no further than Jonny Mogambo's Band! We tons of guests tell us how great the band was - Made the night great!
Look no further if you’re looking for an amazing band for your wedding!! We chose this band because they had great reviews and were located in the Vail area. We worked with Jonny for two years and had zero issues. He is so easy and flexible and answered every email and call. We had strings during the ceremony and cocktail hour which was lovely. All of our friends were on the dance floor the entire night and had the best time. The band played everything from Rocky Mountain to country music to current hits. All of our guests raved about the music. I highly recommend Jonny for your special day!!
Note: Jewish friends-Jonny does a mean Hora and knows all our rituals.
Jon and his band was amazing! My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in Almont, Colorado all the way from Michigan (I am from Crested Butte originally), and Jon was a gem! He was always prompt on answering our emails and calls. Also, there was NEVER a dull moment on the dance floor! He brought the party and it totally rocked! We still have guests commenting on how fun our wedding was. Thank you so much Jon! You are the best!
Jonny Mogambo Band were amazing! Our guests were dancing the whole night and are still raving about how much they loved the band, even months after. Jon is so easy to work, he responds quickly and was always very helpful. Jon provided the entertainment/sound system and lighting that we needed and set it up with ease. Thank you so much Jonny Mogambo Band, for making our wedding amazing!
The Jonny Mogambo Band was absolutely spectacular for our wedding in Buena Vista, CO! They sounded amazing and brought great energy to our wedding day, which led to a packed dance floor the whole night. So many of our guests complimented the band. In addition to their awesome performance, Jonny Mogambo Band was also amazing to work with through the wedding planning process. They worked with us through multiple postponements and changes due to COVID. They were easy to work with and responsive the whole time. We highly recommend booking them for your wedding - you will not be disappointed!
We first hired the Jonny Mogambo Band for a wedding 3 years ago--they were fantastic. When planning our other daughter's wedding this year, they were the obvious choice. We were concerned that it might be awkward to have a band for a small wedding. Jon assured us that it would work and they delivered. He had us singing along at the cocktail hour and indulged our ridiculous request to play "Rock the Boat". We all agreed with Jon's comment that it was the most fun you could have with 24 people! They are talented musicians who know how to insure that your guests will have fun.
We hired Jon to play a duet during our cocktail hour/pre-ceremony, and then the full Jonny Mogambo Band performed for us after dinner and they did not disappoint!! My husband is a musician and I was a little nervous if anyone could meet his high expectations, but even he loved every minute. Jon was great in the lead and engaging our group. The whole band were terrific musicians including sax and the female vocalist on keyboards, and they definitely took our reception to the next level... I didn't think our group was going to be much for dancing, but Jonny and the band proved me wrong. We danced and sang and had a great party, didn't want it to end... Highly recommend them for your wedding or any private party!!
Jon and company are quick to respond, have great music, we’re extremely helpful in coordinating dances for our wedding reception including mc’ing details. Would highly recommend !!!
Jonny and his band are top notch - super fun dance band, lots of energy and great to work with. I highly recommend them.
Jonny and the band were absolutely amazing! We had the BEST time with them. Very entertaining, talented and fun crew. They honestly went above my expectations which is always a great surprise. The experience working with him from start to finish was also easy and great. No complaints ! Would highly recommend him and his band to anyone and if I had to do it over I would certainly choose him again.
We love Jonny!! He played at our mountain wedding this summer and could not have been more professional, punctual, and fun! He can play ANYTHING and sound exactly like the original artist. Our guests were overwhelmed with his talent. If you are lucky enough to have Jonny play at your event, you will be blown away!
Jon and his band were absolutely phenomenal, I really can't say enough good things about them! Jon plays by himself in Vail village during the week, we went to see him and were incredibly impressed that he had everyone in the bar up on their feet dancing, performing on his own. He is super friendly, down to earth, easy to talk to, and a great performer. We booked his 9 piece band for our wedding, and we got several compliments and comments that ours was the most fun wedding they had been to. Whether you decide to book Jon or his full band, you can't go wrong. 5 stars is an understatement.
The Jonny Mogambo Band delivered the perfect experience for our wedding and our guests. We told Jonny, "we want to dance," and Jonny said, "say no more!" Song after song the dance floor was packed and by the end of the night everyone was buzzing. Jonny was incredibly accommodating. He coordinated with his saxophone player to play our ceremony, which was beautiful, and he ran all the audio for the ceremony, which was pivotal. All in all, he and his bed made the night incredibly memorable. What's a great wedding without THE greatest band? Thanks, Jonny!
I'm a wedding planner in Buena Vista, Co and it was a pleasure to work with Jonny and his band! He actually was the DJ and band all wrapped into one. He did a wonderful job at the ceremony and reception! Highly recommend he and his band for a classic fun time!
The Jonny Mugambo Band played played our ceremony and reception music and they were exceptional. They learned our first dance song, which really made our night. A great band can really make or break a wedding and Jonny knows how to read the crowd and keep the excitement and fun going. He was engaging and all our guests commented on how amazing the music was. Jonny worked within our budget to meet our needs and even made it to the top of A-Basin! We are so thrilled that we picked the Jonny Mogambo Band!
THEY WERE AMAZING! We could not have asked for the music at our wedding to be anymore perfect. We had so many of our guests come up to us during and after the wedding to tell us how great the band did! In addition to a great performance, there were a few select songs we requested that were not on their provided song list and Jon was more than happy to learn these and perform them during our ceremony/reception. They were very interactive with our guests, especially our 5 year old son. Jon even showed him how to play his guitar. I would highly recommend them!!
Jonny Mogambo was such a hoot at our wedding, we had the WORLDS best time. Jon is also very easy going and very talented. We can't wait to make an annual trip up to vail to watch him play again.
Jon and his band played our wedding at Gorrono Ranch in Telluride this past summer and were absolutely incredible!
The dance floor was packed the entire night. They truly have an ability to read and play to the crowd (including folks of all ages), our guests were amazed by their talent. It's obvious Jon and his entire band really enjoy what they do - from Jon's MC and lead vocals, to their diverse repertoire, and the instrumental solos - particularly the saxophone, wow wow! These guys rock.
Jon was also incredibly responsive and accommodating during the planning process. I would highly recommend the Jonny Mogambo band for your special day!
If you are looking for an amazing, energetic, talented and unforgettable band for your wedding....look no further....and book Jonny Mogambo Band!!! From the beautiful acoustic ceremony and cocktail hour to the ROCKIN' party with the full band for the reception, they were unbelievable! They had EVERYONE of all ages on the dance floor the entire night with songs ranging from classic rock to pop to even rap covers (they played a classic rock version of Gin and Juice which made the bride VERY happy)! We have had so many friends and family members tell us it was the best wedding band they have ever heard, and had several future Colorado bride and grooms asking us for their information! On top of throwing a great party, Jon was incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the entire planning process. We could not recommend Jon and the Jonny Mogambo Band more, we are forever grateful that we chose them as the band for our special day!!!
My family and my husband's family are both full of musicians, and I am a music teacher myself. Needless to say a great live band was crucial for our day. We never got to see the band play live before we hired them, but watched a lot of videos and got a pretty good idea of what we were getting. Still, going into the day (and having had my heart set on a different band that ended up not being available) I was a little nervous. But the entire night was perfect from the ceremony music to the cocktail hour to the reception everything was AMAZING. The band was terrific and really read the room and played funk all night to keep up with our dancing friends. I may be a little biased but my wedding was the most fun wedding I've ever been to in part because of our awesome band.
We found Jonny Mogambo and were so excited he was local to Vail. We were able to see him play at a local bar while we were up for our engagement photos and tasting. He had such a way with the crowd! We knew we had found our band and are so glad we did. Our wedding turned into such a dance party, our only regret was that it didn't go later! We still regularly have people tell us that it was the best band/energy they've seen at a wedding. Johnny, thanks for creating the vibe I dreamed of and setting up some of my favorite dance photos!
Absolutely Awesome!!
All Occasions Music/Jonny Mogambo is a fantastic band to work with. I am a professional in the wedding industry and I do coordinate a lot of weddings and events in the Vail Valley. This past month I had a pleasure to work with Jonny Mogambo Band( Vail Golf Club & The Vail Wedding Island)
Working with Jonny the Band Leader was a true pleasure. He is very punctual, responsive, talented, full of fantastic energy, and Super fun to work with.
His band was so exciting on stage and they got the people going! Not only did they put on a fantastic show, but they also engaged the crowd the entire time.
The guests stayed on the dance floor until the very end.
If you’re looking for a band for your wedding look no further. Jonny Mogambo Band is an amazing group that creates a high energy party for everyone in the room.
I would highly recommend Jonny Mogambo Band for any Event!!
Jon and his band were great! They learned special songs that my couple requested and kept the party going! They were on time and prepared for the night's festivities. They have you covered from ceremony to after party! Highly Recommend.
Jonny Mogambo and team rocked out so hard that the guests were bowing to the band by the end. You are probably clinically insane if you don't hire these guys to play your wedding.
Great band - super fun and easy to work with! They kept the dance floor alive through the whole wedding!
Our wedding guests could NOT stop talking about how wicked cool this band played! Jonny Mogambo's music at my daughter's wedding reception at The Vista Arrowhead was AMAZING! They also play a FABULOUS Hava Nagilah!! I highly recommend them!
Jonny Mogambo rocked our wedding in every way possible! He created a calm regarding song choices, listened when I said what I didn't want played and had a great demeanor during the planning process with me and the planning crew. For the big day, he showed up with professional equipment and lighting and an amazing 8-piece band. He did great on MC'ing the event in a fun (but not corny way) and everything was perfectly timed! Once they started playing, our feet never stopped moving! We loved him! Practice pointer...always go with a horn section!
Jonny and team were fantastic - they kept everyone on the dance floor and was happy to play songs during our ceremony that they weren't aware of. I would highly recommend!
Jon was helpful, punctual, and most importantly, talented beyond expectation. We had a wedding guest who's been working sound and lighting for major corporations for decades and noted from first note, this is the best band he's heard. No Cha Cha Slide or line dances here! He gave us a comprehensive and vast list of songs from which to choose and also allowed us to send in some requests one month prior to the big day. We had a challenging setup for his band, but he worked with the space to maximize room to dance. We could not be more pleased with Jon and his band - you must book them. They'll keep your guests dancing all night.
Jonny Mogambo Band made our wedding in Telluride so special, from the ceremony music to cocktail hour to dancing all night. We even extended the party because everyone was having so much fun dancing. He learned several songs that were not on his song list at my request. It was a great experience and band to work with for such an important day!
The Jonny Mogambo band exceeded our expectations in every possible way. They put on an excellent, lively show from the pre-ceremony music all the way through the end of the night. Their musicianship and showmanship are incredible, and they're just a great group of people. They also did us the incredible favor of learning three new songs for our ceremony! Could not recommend them more highly!
I apologize that it has taken me so long to tell you THANK YOU so much for bringing all the music and energy to Jordan and my's wedding last weekend. It was so perfect! People are still talking about how wonderful you and the band were, and I have to agree - you made the night! I can't thank you enough!
Jonny MADE our wedding! He played beautiful acoustic during the ceremony and kept the party going during the reception! We still get people asking us his name and commenting how FUN he was! We are looking for another excuse to use him again!!
Jon and his band was great! He was easy to communicate with, custom tailored his band to our needs, learned our song to play live and most importantly, brought the house down during our reception.
It meant a lot to us that they were willing to learn our first song to kick off the party. We are still receiving compliments about the Jonny Mogambo Band!
I had Jonny perform his solo act at my wedding in Ridgway State Park. He has a fantastic vibe and enthusiasm for what he does. He was extremely flexible during what was of course a quite chaotic time and was able to go with the flow even in the moment when I was running around. I found both his help and sound helped to aid in making my wedding so memorable. Everyone who attended said as much too, which is no surprise because he got everyone dancing. I would absolutely hire him again for future events and recommend him to anyone else who is considering a live musician for their reception.
Amazing, amazing band! Great music, incredible energy, and completely professional. Really dynamic too - they handled our ceremony music and MC'd the evening in addition to rocking the dance floor! Highly recommend!
The band was one of the highlights of our wedding - they did a great job of reading the room and understanding what to play based on the vibe. Everyone had a blast at the reception. He even let one of the guests sing a couple songs (with our permission). These guys did a great job with very little direction from us, which was a welcome change from our other vendors.
Jonny also played our ceremony solo on acoustic guitar and did a great job. He had a long list of suggested songs, and even learned one we specifically requested for the processional. He was flexible when we asked if he could perform without an amp so we didn't have to run an extension cord out to the field, which was a huge help with all the other things we were worried about.
Finally, there was a third area set up for the dinner reception, which he got set up with a separate PA so we could have music and speeches. He DJ'ed for dinner which, again, was done very well to fit the vibe without any real direction from us.
Overall these guys were great and the cost was very reasonable for what we got from them. Would definitely recommend them for any party.
WOW! So much fun. We had a mountain-top Colorado wedding and thought that the views would be the highlight for our guests, but sure-enough, J. Mogambo and crew were everyone's favorite part.
Jonny played the processional and it was so beautiful as I first laid eyes on my soon-to-be wife. Pure magic.
Later to the reception, we had EVERYONE on the dance floor (even our elderly guests) and Jonny knew exactly how to work it.
THE BEST PART OF ALL - we were going to hand him the iPod to play our first dance and "parent-dance" songs, when Jonny said "NO NEED!, WE WENT AHEAD AND LEARNED ALL OF THEM!" I mean c'mon, that's incredible! It was so beautiful and I have never danced so hard.
I wish they ventured down to Austin, TX for every party we want to throw.
Thanks, JONNY!
They played really well and we all had a lot of fun! Great energy!
This band had the whole wedding party on the dance floor all night. Awesome fun!!!
First of all, when you have a wedding guest come up to you after dancing for the last hour and says, "man, this is a great show" you know the band is fantastic!
The band was the hardest thing for us to find, as we are big music lovers and just needed to find the perfect band (and one that could cover the Grateful Dead successfully without our family of Deadheads being disappointed in their performance). And, they did just that!!
Jon and his band were absolutely amazing! I would recommend him to anyone looking for live music at their wedding. As someone that's gone to 5+ weddings in the last year alone, this is by far the most dancing I've ever seen at a wedding. Usually it's just a handful of people, but Jon was able to get everyone up and on the dance floor all the way until lights out!
Jonny Mogambo and the rest of the band absolutely rocked our wedding! I can't say enough good things about them. They helped us with audio for our ceremony, provided an acoustic set for the cocktail hour, and then helped us tear up the dance floor after dinner. They have a great set-list and will work with you to get the vibe you want for your wedding. They also really know how to play the room and keep the party going. Our wedding guests still talk about how great the band was and how much fun they had. Hire this band.
WOW!!!!!! Jonny Mogambo turned our wedding into a dance party! The photographer had to move their set up back to make more room for everyone on the dance floor. They did an absolutely amazing job - everyone had such a fun time dancing their hearts out :) Not only was it fun, but they also did a wonderful job inserting some sentimental music choices in and played our first dance song perfectly. I would highly recommend for a very fun, happy time!
Jonny and his band are fantastic!! They seriously brought so much energy to our wedding and all of the guests keep talking about how great they were. The dance floor was packed all night because of them! They're just a super solid band and they know what they're doing. Definitely recommend!!!
Best Band! I would highly recommend Jonny Magambo band for any wedding. They played for our wedding in May. Jonny was a pleasure to deal with. He was very professional and went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was everything we wanted it to be. Almost everyone was on the dance floor the whole night!! The band is great at interacting with the guests and keeping everyone up and dancing! People from our wedding still continue to talk about what a great band we had!
I cannot say enough good things about Jonny and his band! They played for our wedding on July 2 and the Sonnenalp, we added the full horns and female vocalist and they were outstanding!
My husband and I have attended countless weddings and music was extremely important to us. I feel that it can make or break the evening. To say that he exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. Everyone was dancing from the first moment the dance floor opened. Many guests have made a point to tell me that they were the best wedding band they have ever seen! And we have a lot of music snobs in our group. They were so wonderful, our guests chanted "One more song!" when the wedding was over.
Jonny worked with our budget and was easy to plan with, answering all my questions and transitioning seamlessly to our month-of coordinator.
If you want your reception rocking and your guests on the dance floor all night, then you want the 8 piece All Occasions Band.
My wife and I, as well as our guests and families, could not have asked for a more perfect wedding band, as we wanted the party rocking and dance floor full all night long, and it certainly was!
Jonny let my wife's uncle on stage to sing, was engaging the crowd, and kept the party going. We had a few specific requests, and he was able to accommodate 95% of them.
Jonny can be a bit hard to get in touch with at times, as he seems to be constantly on the move and performing, but we still give him 5 stars for the performance, experience, and ambiance.
The two most important aspects of our wedding were location & music. I was planning our destination wedding in Vail from Kansas City so not knowing the bands in the area made a me a little nervous. We wanted a fun band that would entertain us and create a great dance party. From the minute I talked with Jonny I felt at ease and so excited, he was organized, had great energy, and was able to see what I was envisioning for our day from the get go. The Jonny Mogambo Band blew our expectations, and I am so thankful we chose them for our ceremony & reception. Jonny always responds quickly, easy to work with, and can make adjustments without a second thought. We ended up having two members play at our ceremony and the amount of stress that took off my hands was incredibly worth it. Our reception venue made setting up for the band a little difficult but it never came across as a problem and they did just what they had to without hesitation. The selection of music is endless, the band was entertaining all evening, and needless to say the dance floor was packed. I heard so many compliments from our guests of how much fun the band was, which is exactly what I was hoping for! I would highly recommend Jonny Mogambo Band to all brides, grooms, & families! They will make the music portion of your wedding stress-free and you & your guests will have a blast having them be a part of your day! Thank you Jonny Mogambo Band! -Lydia & Ross Kelling
Jonny Mogambo and his band did a fantastic job playing music at my wedding. They played a huge range of songs from recent hits to older classics. Jonny was also very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would hands down recommend using the Jonny Mogambo band!
Jonny is a man of many talents....when we reviewed his band's playlist we were impressed but we really only wanted live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour...for the reception we preferred to have a DJ instead. Jonny was happy to do both and did it really well! I was a bit OCD with the preset playlist for the reception but he was very accommodating and played what we wanted to hear...he's a true crowd pleaser and the always-full dancefloor reflected this. For the ceremony we had a friend who sang for us and Jonny even spent the time practising with him beforehand so that it would sound perfect. I really recommend Jonny for your wedding.
Outstanding work by Jonny and band. Really had great energy and played a broad array of music. We had Jonny play the ceremony and cocktail reception which was an added acoustic bonus.
Hiring Jonny Mogambo to perform at our Wedding Partly was the best choice. Without Jonny it would have been an average party. Many of your guests commented that it was the best Wedding Party they have ever attended! He had kids from 10 years old up to adults 70+ years old, out on the dance floor.
We hired Jon to play acoustic for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, then DJ at the reception. Also, we hired a violinist through him for the ceremony to have more traditional sound. The violinist cost more money but absolutely worth it.
Jon is very talented & has an obvious passion for music! We live outside Colorado; as a result, we heard Jon play for the first time at the wedding. Amazing! We were so pleased & excited for our guests. The ceremony music was beautiful! Cocktail hour was great & engaging. At the reception, the music brought people to the dance floor the entire night--which we definitely didn't expect with our group. Also, he did introductions & all that as well. The compliments received about the music have been numerous! I can't recommend Jon enough.
Jonny and his band were awesome! They really made our party memorable. Everyone was dancing and they understood what the crowd wanted and delivered. Several guests told us it was the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Jonny was a great communicator, always professional and arrived early to get everything set up day of. Highly recommend as it was the best money we spent!!
Amazing band! Felt like we were at a concert during the wedding. Everyone immediately got up and started dancing to kick off the night. The guitar solos, bass, drums, and sax were absolutely amazing - each played solos and were jammin hard the whole time. Played a good mix of new and old songs. In retrospect we actually felt like we didn't even need any other activities during the wedding because everyone just spent the whole time dancing. Jonny also played for the ceremony and cocktail hour which I highly recommend. Would recommend them again and again and worth every penny!
You won't regret booking the Jonny Mogambo Band for your event! Jon Linder is a professional through and through! I was very impressed with his flexibility to match our budget and with the quality of the performance he gave! Our reception truly rocked! He was on time, brought all of the necessary equipment and provided all of the details to make our ceremony and wedding reception unforgettable! The music was top notch and kept everyone dancing until the last note was played! He really went above and beyond our expectations! Do yourself a favor a book the Jonny Mogambo band!!! You can't find a better value!
Last month the Jonny Mogambo Band played at Katie and Rocky's wedding at the Piney River Ranch near Vail. Jonny played for the ceremony and he and the band rocked out the reception. Jonny's voice reminded me of Glenn Fry of the Eagles. As a wedding photographer I see and photograph lots of band every wedding season, I would highly recommend hiring them to play for your wedding!
I have included an email below that I sent to Johnny after our wedding. He was amazing to work with and did a wonderful job performing at our wedding. Our family and friends are still talking about the band. My husband and I highly recommend this vendor.
Hi Jonny, We just wanted to say thank you again for playing at our wedding this weekend! You did an amazing job playing at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had several compliments from ALL of our guests! They loved you! Many guests were saying, "This is the best band we have ever seen played at a wedding!" We were very impressed and could not have asked for anything more. It was a great party! Thank you again for working with us, we had a blast!
Jonny is a gifted musician and performer who really connects with the crowd. He got everyone out on the dance floor and made our reception a memorable event.
Jonny is very professional and great to work with. I highly recommend him solo or with the band to create a great event.
I had Jonny Mogambo play our daytime, outdoor wedding (12-4pm). I chose Jonny because I have seen him (and his band) perform après ski in Vail and was confident that he could create a fun environment. Daytime + outdoors can be a challenge with music, as most people think "fun" weddings are only a night time affair. Plus, acoustics outdoors aren't ideal. However, I was right! Jonny was able to create the perfect wedding environment. He arrived early, set-up, and played the ceremony. He also learned our first dance song. He was able to read our guests and play music that fit our wedding reception scene perfectly!! Our guests still rave about Jonny and what an awesome reception we had!
If you want something entertaining and different than the typical 'wedding band', I recommend Jonny Mogambo and the Jonny Mogambo Band. They will play your traditional covers that YOU want but will also rock your reception! I had heard them before but when they played the reception they customized their performance just as we had requested. They get people involved, they are diverse and awesome musicians.
If you want traditional and stuffy, these guys aren't for you. If you want to host a rockin' wedding party your friends won't forget, book these guys!
Thanks Jonny!
The Jonny Mogambo band was very professional and fun to work with. They played our ceremony and got everyone at the reception dancing all night long. I haven't had that much fun dancing in a long time. It was great night and a great band!
This is not your typical wedding band, they rock!!! We chose a selection of music from artists including the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Norah Jones, and The Beatles, and the songs were spot on… it was like being at a live concert! We were going back and forth between hiring a band or a DJ… we definitely made the right decision, The Jonny Mogambo Band truly made our night a memorable one!!
