g! Everyone has raves about how awesome the performance was and several guests asked us for their information for their own future events! They also provided mics, sound, and played our selected music for the ceremony and cocktail hour in additional to the music they performed at the reception.

in plenty of time to set up and sound check before the reception started and were very professional. The best part, though, was that they sounded AWESOME! My husband is a musician and can be pretty critical of other bands - he was blown away by the talent of Chunky Daddy. Our guests danced all night and everyone had the best time. If you have the opportunity to hire this band, do not hesitate!!

floor the whole night. We love live music and knew that we wanted to spend the extra money in our budget on a band. I was a little nervous not having actually *seen* the band live before the wedding, but trusted the reviews & videos - and we were NOT disappointed! Matt was super friendly, responsive & helpful through the whole planning process and delivered on everything, including all our last minute notes/questions. Even when they weren't playing, Matt was a great MC - when I heard him start announcing our wedding party to Thunderstruck, I knew it was going to be an awesome night. And as soon as they kicked off music for the night, we were blown away by how talented & fun they are! They played a great variety of music, had everyone singing along to Sweet Caroline & Wagon Wheel, and even played a special version of Auld Lang Syne we requested for midnight. It was awesome and exactly what we hoped for. Book Chunky Daddy for your wedding!!

or us. They learned a special song for us to dance with our daughter, and it was the highlight of our day. Matt went out of his way to make sure everything would go smoothly for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, coming by the venue the day before to scope everything out. His communication along the way made us feel well taken care of. They are upbeat, fun, and super talented! We wish we could do it all again just so we had more time on the dance floor to relive this experience. You cannot top this band!

Matt was incredibly easy to work with, always quick to respond and a true professional. Although the music and sound for the ceremony and reception were some of the key elements of the day, they required the least amount of thought and planning, thanks to Matt's coordination and expertise.
We would HIGHLY recommend Chunky Daddy!

tment. They were FANTASTIC! Like many couples, we wanted the dance floor at our wedding reception to be hopping and that is exactly what Chunky Daddy was able to provide. Our guests continue to rave about them as well. Aside from their music abilities, Matt was a pleasure to work with. No need to look any further for a band, Chunky Daddy's got you covered!

, and super easy to work with. The band blew my (already high) expectations out of the water! My guests kept coming up to me throughout the night (and texted me days later) about how amazing they were. They interacted with the crowd, helped me with announcements, and so much more. They kept everyone dancing, singing, and having fun for the whole reception! Highlight of my wedding by far. I can't recommend Chunky Daddy enough!!!

It was an unforgettable night and I will 10000% percent recommend Chunky Daddy Band to anyone and everyone!

re just that! I knew from the start after one phone call with them that they would be a perfect band for our special day. Matt and Jeremy were great communicators form the start. They worked well with my day of coordinator & venue directors. They executed the ceremony music perfectly and played every song I hoped for. One of my favorite things is that they performed our first dance songs...I feel that is such a special touch that you just can’t get with a DJ. They also did a fabulous job of mixing up genres to accommodate all ages. Not to mention they are just down right fun!! Our wedding day was unforgettable and Chunky Daddy Band played a huge role in that.
THANK YOU CHUNKY DADDY BAND!!!
Such an awesome band! Their spirit, energy, and of course, sound, were wonderful. Our wedding really turned into a fun party with this group. They were professional, easy to commun...
icate with (not true of every vendor), and were the perfect choice for our wedding. They certainly can play, but what sets them apart is the energy they bring, the crowd engagement, helping make announcements, being flexible, helping me (nervous bride) set up a music stand for a violinist when my hands were shaking. Chunky Daddy knows what they're doing. We've been to weddings where the band can play and give honor to the songs well, but aren't strong in making the night feel personal or engaged with the crowd and couple. From our young friends to the not so young, all had nothing but amazing things to say about Chunky Daddy. Thank you, thank you!
Matt and Jeremy performed at my May wedding and made it very special. They did a phenomenal job playing before, during and after my ceremony! Everyone was so impressed with the sax...
ophone!
We enjoyed working with this band! As a vendor, we see tons of bands perform at weddings. They had an amazing sets and great energy, it made us wish that we were guests!
Chunky Daddy absolutely killed it at our wedding!! Almost every single guest mentioned how awesome they were to us. The dance floor was packed the entire night! HIRE THEM!!!
