Collision Six is a professional, versatile and high-energy band operating out of Metro Detroit. Simply put, we are passionate about being the best at what we do -- creating unforgettable experiences for our clients and their guests!
We do that by collaborating with our clients to bring their unique vision to life. That includes taking the time to learn and understand what they're looking for before we sign a contract, and then locking arms to make sure that vision is realized.
We take a professional approach to the planning process, guiding our clients through the design of their timeline and the song choices that make their night special, and we're going to make it easy and fun for you. On event day, we'll be there early to make sure everything looks and sounds great before any of your guests arrive. Then, it's party time!
We are NOT a group of hired-gun musicians or a group of individual musicians assembled for an event. Our band performs together every weekend and rehearses during the week so we can do things other bands simply can't do. Our performance builds as we transition smoothly from song-to-song, and our song selection includes music from every generation that is mixed and mashed up in ways that will keep people on their feet (and on their toes!). The best part? -- it's all done with 100% live music (no computer tracks) so we can keep our attention on the vibe in the room, and we can pivot if a song doesn't hit the way we thought it might. Add some interactive lighting and the high-energy showmanship, and you're ready for a party people are going to be talking about for years to come!
Collision Six provides options for services and pricing that can be customized to suit your needs and preferences. That includes music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. It can include additional musicians beyond our core 8-piece group and lots more! We also include an MC, a sound system and audio engineer, interactive lighting and a planning meeting with Matt (band leader + MC).

- Matt RappaportBand Leader / MC / Guitar / VocalsIn October 2000, after too many mundane weekends, Matt decided to do something more productive with his time - learn to play guitar. After several years of experimenting with other instruments, Matt feels he finally found his home with the old six string. Matt is a career Collision Six Man - helping start the band back in 2002 and remaining the only original member of the group. If you're looking for lots of energy and a sincere projection of the love of music, direct your attention to Matt's side of the stage.
- Sarah RappaportVocalsSarah started singing in high school and has since performed classical music in various choirs, the National Anthem at Chrysler events and Detroit Shock basketball games, and in a variety of local events. Sarah originally started filling in for c6 in June 2007 and was quickly asked to remain a full-time member. If you want energy, excitement and a voice that will ignite your party, look no further than Sarah.
- Brandon "Showtime" BlandKeyboards / VocalsBrandon "Showtime" Bland has performed and traveled with gospel, R&B, rock, pop, jazz, blues, country and hip-hop artists and productions from all over the globe. Throughout grade school, music took priority in his life and led him to Rock Valley College in Rockford, IL and Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, where he double-majored in Music Performance and Music Technology. He honed his musical craft in Detroit, where he was discovered professionally. Brandon joined Collision Six in 2019, ready to help take the C6 brand to the next levels. He is also Minister of Music at Citadel Of Faith Church in Detroit, and performs with JukeBoxx Inc and EnTune 313. WHEN ITS GO TIME.......IT'S SHOWTIME!
- Evan ShermanMusic Director / Guitar / VocalsEvan got a guitar from his parents for his 12th birthday, shortly after music and guitar became his obsession. What sets Evan apart from many guitarists is his ability to improvise, assuring that every Collision Six show is a new experience. Before Evan joined up with C6, he studied guitar performance and music education at Berklee College of Music where he studied under world class musicians. You may have also seen Evan playing with his original band Bloomill. Today he teaches private lessons on guitar, piano, bass, and drums through his company Mobile Music Education and shares his love of music with his students.
- Amir EdwardsDrums / VocalsAmir Edwards is a multifaceted musician, producer, music director, singer, and songwriter. Hailing from Detroit, Amir was immersed in music at an early age. By 14, he was already booking gigs, setting the stage for his lifelong passion. His talents have graced prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall. Amir's versatility allows him to perform and tour globally with artists across various genres, including country, rock, Afro-beats, hip hop, blues, jazz, pop, classical, and gospel. Additionally, he serves as the minister of music at Embassy Covenant Church Intl. Amir is thrilled to be a part of the C6 family!
- Kerry SrotVocalsKerry spent several years building up some serious pipes. After starting in small chorus groups as a child, he continued his vocal training at Macomb Community College, performing with the showchoir called The Macombers. Kerry was also a member of local bands Dealey Plaza and Sydney in Color. Needless to say, Kerry feels right at home on stage. Shortly after responding to an ad for a lead singer in early April 2009, Kerry won over the members of Collision Six and never looked back. Look for Kerry rocking out the vocals next to Sarah and helping with those 3 part harmonies all night, every show, one hundred percent.
- Michael Scott TaylorBassMichael Scott Taylor was born and bred in Detroit. After years being involved in the Detroit music scene, he joined C6 on keyboards in 2015 and completely transformed the Collision Six sound. In 2019, Mike finally moved over to his true passion on the bass, and he raised the bar yet again. Outside of the band, Mike performs with Jukeboxx Inc. on bass, key-bass, and keys. You can also see him performing weekly at Celebration Church and Oak Grove AME.
- Nick "Stone" WilczynskiSaxophone / EWINick is a saxophonist and EWI (electric sax) player who studied with both Detroit's George Benson and Donald Walden. He has performed extensively throughout the world since 2000. Nick was a part of the touring band for singer Ne-Yo from 2009-2011 and then joined R&B legend Charlie Wilson as saxophone soloist from 2012-2017. Everything changed for Nick in 2014, when he began performing with Collision Six. Now off the road, he's a full-time member of the band and brings a dynamic element to the eyes and ears.

We hired Collision Six for our NYE wedding and they were amazing! They knew how to bring the best energy, performance and song choices for our guests. Beyond that, they were so wonderfully professional, organized, and supportive throughout the whole process (planned with them for a little over a year). I highly recommend this band for any type of event!

We had Collision Six for our wedding reception and we could not be happier with the experience! Matt was so thoughtful, professional, and thorough in the preparation and planning phase. He walked us through everything (we didn't even know where to start), answered our questions, and bounced ideas off us in multiple video conference meetings ahead of the event when we needed help and direction. He also coordinated with the venue staff ahead of time to make sure they were all on the same page. When it came to the wedding day, they did their own thing for arrival and setup with no issues at all. They were able to set all their equipment and run a sound check in only an hour of stage availability time before the dinner service began in the main room. Matt was a great emcee for the night and did not miss a beat. When it came time for the music in the wedding reception - they wowed everyone in attendance. They crushed it! It was like a full blown concert for our reception, which is exactly what we wanted! They got everyone moving, dancing, and singing on the dance floor. It was an exciting, fun, party of a night cap to our perfect wedding day. We will look so fondly back on our wedding day with big smiles on our faces, and it would not have been anywhere near the same without Collision Six. We are not alone in this thought, seemingly everyone we've seen since the wedding talks about how great the band was and how much the party on the dance floor was rocking! The venue staff pulled us aside and told us that they do weddings with live bands almost every weekend, and this by far was the best band they've ever seen in their venue. We could not recommend them enough for your wedding; it completed ours!

Thank you so much for your amazing review and for asking us to be part of your wedding day...
! We love that you felt the love during the planning process, and that it translated to the experience you envisioned on the dance floor. Not every couple wants that "full-blown concert" experience, but we're down if you're down, and that was a blast! Knowing that your guests loved it and the venue staff said we were “the best band they’ve ever seen” is the ultimate compliment. Thanks for asking us to celebrate with you!

They had everyone on the dance floor the entire time, including before we announced our wedding party. Thank you to Matt and the entire band for all their hard work on making our wedding the best day of our lives!

We hired Collision Six to play at our wedding and it was easily one of the best decisions we made! From our very first phone call to the day of the wedding, Matt was extremely well organized, thorough and went above and beyond to make sure his band nailed every single detail. His communication with both us and our vendors was excellent, and the work behind the scenes really paid off as the night truly couldn't have gone any better. The music was amazing, and the dance floor was packed all night. Months later and we are still getting complemented on how incredible our band was. Would highly recommend Collision Six for any event!

I’m a music teacher and performer who comes from a lineage of musicians. My wife and I heard about Collision Six from their stellar performance at the NFL Draft in Detroit, and later celebrated our wedding with them in the summer. Naturally, the family bands and I wanted to join C6 on stage to play a few songs at the reception. Matt and the rest of Collision Six went through great lengths to ensure everything was perfect.
They maintained thorough rapport with us, learned specific song arrangements in rapid time, and even took the time to meet with the family bands for rehearsal before the big day. At the eleventh hour, a wide array of vocalists, instruments, and audio outfits were cycled through C6’s mixing board. In spite of the tall order, their audio engineering skills were fluid and impeccably adept and the entire night was an unforgettable hit.
Matt is an incredibly patient band leader with a keen attention to detail, and the members of Collision Six maintain a state-of-the-art standard for performances and private events. I cannot recommend a better group, nor sing their praises highly enough.

Wow - this means so much coming from someone who REALLY knows what they're talking about. ...
It was an honor to celebrate with you, to share the stage with you, to make music and memories. What a night! It was so great to be surrounded by such great people, seeing the smiling faces and the dance moves, and getting to watch you perform as well. It was a night we'll never forget. Thanks for asking us to celebrate with you! I'm so glad we did you proud!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Collision Six play at our wedding, and they were amazing! From the moment we reached out, Matt was professional and prompt in all responses. He took the time to understand our music preferences and played all of our requested songs.
On the day of the wedding, they arrived on time and set up efficiently. The energy they brought to the reception was electric! Guests were dancing all night long, and we received countless compliments about the band from our friends and family. Their song selection was perfect and kept everyone on the dance floor.
They sounded incredible and it felt like they were genuinely enjoying themselves, which made the experience even more enjoyable for us and our guests.

Truly the most incredible night of our lives thanks to Collision Six and Matt for making our wedding day an incredible and unforgettable experience.From the moment we first engaged with Matt and his team, it was clear that Collision Six was going to exceed our expectations in every possible way.
Matt, you were nothing short of extraordinary. Not only did you and your team deliver an outstanding musical performance, but your support went well beyond our expectations. You were like a second scheduler for our same-day coordinator, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. Your meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach kept the energy high and the party moving, which is exactly what we wanted. Your commitment and professionalism made a world of difference.
The performance itself was simply spectacular. The music was flawless, with each song perfectly executed to keep the dance floor packed all night. The energy that your band brought to the party was absolutely infectious. Our guests are still raving about the music and have not stopped talking about how fantastic Collision Six was. We received countless compliments, with many saying it was the best band they’ve ever heard.
Laura and I are beyond grateful for everything you did to make our wedding so special. Your ability to read the room and keep everyone engaged was impressive, and the feedback from our guests only solidified how exceptional your performance was. We can’t thank you enough for your talent, dedication, and the way you made our wedding day truly magical.
To anyone considering Collision Six for their event, we wholeheartedly recommend them. They are not just a band—they are a key ingredient to a perfect celebration. Thank you, Matt, and the entire Collison Six team, for everything. You have set the bar incredibly high, and we are so grateful for the memories you helped create.

Collision Six made our wedding! They not only brought the music but they brought the energy. Everything was perfect! The ceremony music was beautiful and the party music was exactly what we were looking for. Matt did an amazing job helping us to feel prepped and comfortable leading up to our special day.

Collision Six absolutely killed it on our wedding night. The entire process working with Matt was first class. From the initial meeting getting to know each other all the way up to the wedding night, it was clear that Matt’s primary focus was to have a collaborative process culminating in a night to remember. Matt was meticulous with all the details leading up to the big day and truly made it stress free for us. Most importantly though, the band is incredible. When we wanted our first dance to be to a Greta Van Fleet song, we assumed they would just play a downloaded track. But instead, the band learned the song and Sarah’s vocal performance was spectacular. The dance floor was packed all night, especially during the last hour when they rocked the house with 2000s punk rock hits (our favorite). We cannot thank Matt and Collision Six enough for making our wedding party an unforgettable night. If you have the opportunity to book them, do it!

What an amazing band! We had Collision Six play our wedding this past Memorial Day weekend in Detroit! From the very beginning, Matt and his team were easy to work with and enthusiastic for us throughout the entire process. For the wedding day, they handled everything behind the scenes (setup, coordination with the venue and photographer, creating and learning our special songs, etc.) to emceeing and creating an unforgettable live music experience. We truly were able to enjoy the day and take in all the special moments with our loved ones.
We spent a lot of time getting to know Matt throughout the process. He made sure we were creating the wedding celebration we wanted and was always willing to collaborate with us on our ideas. For example, we decided to have live piano for our ceremony music and ended up selecting some pretty unique songs. When we pitched them to Collision Six, they had no problem learning them for us and played them perfectly! It made for a beautiful ceremony!
Matt and team created fun playlists for our cocktail hour and dinner music, with Matt emceeing throughout the night. They followed up with the most amazing 3 hours of live music that kept our dance floor packed all night long. They played a wide variety of songs that kept all our guests (from ages 2 to 91!) a part of the celebration.
Their talent for music speaks for itself and is elevated by their ability to execute our event to perfection.
There is nothing like live music. It truly made for an unforgettable night, not only for us but also for our friends and family! If you’re looking for a band to play your wedding, we cannot recommend Collision Six enough!

We had some little groupies up front dancing with us all night that were so smily and singing along. Super fun! Amazing night, and we're grateful that you trusted us to deliver for you and your families!

Booking Collision Six was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day. We booked them immediately after booking our venue because of their experience managing the acoustics at our venue. From that first discussion with Matt Rappaport we knew we were dealing with real professionals. Matt understood everything from the creative aspects to making a wedding day come to life to the logistical and technical details and considerations to making the day run smoothly. He also manages other bands in the area and was able to provide several options for us to see which would be the best fit. I especially appreciated his very structured and organized process throughout which kept us on schedule and never stressed about any decision making or detail being missed. The band was our top priority so we had a lot of opinions and preferences on what we wanted maybe unfortunately for Matt we were so picky haha). He would listen to our concerns and preferences and then provide his expertise and recommendations, which we relied on. Matt was our MC and he executed PERFECTLY in keeping the energy levels of our large number of guests high. Collision Six the band itself is hands down one of the best wedding bands (I promise I’m not biased, even the NFL chose them as their draft day band) they are so great live and many of our guests commented on how good they were. C6 played all three of our first dance songs live and we had a packed dance floor until the very end. We’re so thrilled we went with Collision Six and can’t recommend them enough!

Thanks for complimenting our approach to creativity, logistics and tech; it's truly a passion and a crazy thing to juggle it all, but we love it! Working with you to draw out your ideas and make sure they created the impact you wanted was so much fun, and we're happy that you included us in the brainstorming process. Your pickiness (your words, not mine!) made it personal and special; it was great, really! So happy to hear the MC'ing was on point, and most importantly, that the band created a great experience on the dance floor. We aim to earn YOU compliments, and we're happy to hear that delivered for you. It was a great party, with lots of energy! Thanks for asking us to make this a top-notch DP for you! Haha.

Collision Six and Detroit Event Company did an outstanding job performing at our wedding, but what really sets them apart was their professionalism, communication/organization skills, and enthusiasm every step of the way. Matt is direct and goes out of his way to make sure you know exactly what to expect and never leaves you hanging, unlike many vendors in the creative / entertaining space. He was very intentional and enthusiastic in getting to know us so that he could ensure we got exactly what we wanted... and we did!
They did live music at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and the dance floor was packed until the venue kicked us out! We loved that they learned our first dance songs and even provided some lists of suggestions, which was very much appreciated, since making so many decisions with wedding planning can be overwhelming.
They performed at the NFL draft in April, which made us extra excited to have them play live at our wedding!
Overall, you can expect 10/10 performance AND service/professionalism throughout the whole process when you work with Matt and Collision Six. Since Matt also manages other bands in the area, he can help you find something to work with your budget and taste, even if Collision Six is booked or out of your price range.

We're even more happy that you enjoyed the music, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the dancing. The NFL Draft was an amazing experience, but getting to celebrate with a couple on the best day of their lives is truly special. Thanks for the honor of doing that with you!

WOW. I struggle to find the words to describe how incredible Collision Six is. Leading up to our wedding, Matt was extremely professional, organized, and positive. He knows how to ask the right questions to understand what the couple/client wants for their event, and boy do they deliver! Collision Six kept our guests on the dance floor all night. They are so talented and really know how to read a crowd when choosing songs. They also played during our cocktail hour which was so classy and lovely, and the set up professional lighting scaffolds on the dance floor which really elevates the space and makes it feel like a concert. Our wedding day was perfect, and it was in large part due to Matt and the whole amazing band of Collision Six! THANK YOU!!

If you're in search of a wedding band that goes above and beyond to elevate your special day, look no further than Collision Six! From the moment we booked them, their professionalism and commitment to making our wedding unforgettable were evident.
Their musical talent is truly exceptional, delivering performances that were nothing short of amazing.

Even more impressive was their willingness to learn new songs for us, adding a personal touch that made our day even more special.
Working with Matt leading up to the wedding was an absolute pleasure. He was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was perfect. His communication was prompt and clear, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
On the big day, the band transformed our wedding into a concert-like atmosphere, helping create memories that will last a lifetime! Their passion for what they do shone through every note, and it was evident that they love what they do!

WOW! Collision Six was amazing! Our dance floor was packed the entire night. They certainly know how to create an energy on the dance floor. From song choices to execution, it was perfect! Matt and Detroit Event Company were so easy to communicate with throughout the entire booking/planning process. Their pricing was transparent. And the day off was better than anything we could have ever imagined. We can’t recommend them enough!!! Thank you for the best day ever!

Collision Six did an amazing job for our wedding and making sure it went off without a hitch. They played during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and kept everything moving along smoothly. Everyone was on the dance floor all night singing along to the music. They brought such a great energy to the room and we got so many compliments on their performance. Our friends and family will be taking about them ending the night with Seasons of Love for years to come. Matt was a pleasure to work with and made everything easy for us. We would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a band for any occasion.

Collision Six makes your wedding the party you always dreamed of! They are amazing! We did our homework and went to watch multiple bands before making our decision. Collision Six was far and away the best. We were so happy with our decision. Ever since we booked them, Matt was extremely professional, organized, and prepared. He is a pleasure to work with. Everything came together perfectly for the wedding with the party going all night. We had so many people tell us after that the band was the best band they have ever seen. They always had the dance floor packed for an amazing wedding! The band is the life of the party, so hire the best, Collision Six!

Collision six made my wedding the best night ever. They met with my husband and I multiple times before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect for the wedding day. They thought of every detail and had great suggestions for ways to time things, order of events, etc. The music itself was an absolute hit! They kept the dance floor packed all night long. It was so much fun I wish I could rewind and do it all again!!

Matt and the band played every possible song we could have ever wanted and the energy from the band is contagious. The dance floor was packed all night and we received endless compliments from our guests about how great the band was.
Matt was so thoughtful and attentive throughout the entire planning process. He had everything planned out from the grand entrances through the entire night and everything flowed so seamlessly.

The evening of the wedding was an absolute blast, and it's all thanks to the band's high energy and undeniable talent. From the moment they started playing, they had the entire crowd on their feet. It was like they had an innate ability to gauge the crowd's energy and tailor their performance to keep everyone engaged and excited. Their setlist was diverse and catered to all ages, ensuring that no one was left out. Matt's charisma and stage presence were infectious, making it impossible not to get caught up in the fun.
But perhaps the most impressive feat was their ability to keep people on the dance floor all night long. It's not an exaggeration to say that we barely saw an empty space on the dance floor from the first dance to the very last song. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the band's enthusiasm was contagious. Our guests are still raving about how they've never had so much fun at a wedding before.
In addition to their musical prowess, Matt and his band members were an absolute joy to work with. They were professional, friendly, and approachable, making our experience feel personal and tailored to our vision. They exceeded our expectations in every way possible.
If you're in search of a wedding band that will leave your guests talking about your special day for years to come, look no further. Matt and his band are more than just musicians – they're memory-makers, dance-floor-fillers, and all-around exceptional entertainers. We are endlessly grateful for their contribution to our wedding, and we can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making our night unforgettable!

A band is definitely something that can make or break your party and was a decision I really wanted to make sure we got right. Picking Collision Six was a huge part of making our wedding such an amazing time. We kept our reception going until 1am and the band made sure to keep the people out on the dance floor all night long. Not only are they super talented artists (singing & playing) they were also super easy to work with. Matt made us feel like we knew the gameplan going into the night which was definitely comforting. He was extremely organized with timeline and getting all our speakers looped in ahead of time as well. They went above and beyond and surprised us with learning & playing an extra (very obscure) song we wanted to hear which made us super pumped on the dance floor. We got a ton of compliments on them from our guests and couldn't have been happier with them! If you're considering a band look no further - they absolutely crushed it and made our night.

We also appreciate the kind words about our approach to planning and organization, and we're so happy that you felt confident heading into your wedding. The compliments are the best, and we're grateful you passed t hem along. Hope to see you both again sometime soon! Congrats again!

We first heard Collision Six a few years ago at a wedding, and we immediately knew that we needed them for our own wedding. From the moment that we reached out, Matt was incredibly helpful in the planning process. He covered every detail with us and helped make sure that our wedding day went off without a hitch. Matt went above and beyond to make sure that our special requests were incorporated. We were incredibly excited to see how the band would pull everything together for our wedding.
Once the wedding day approached, everything was perfect. The ceremony music was beautiful and helped to set the tone for the day. From the moment that our reception started, the band kept the energy up. Their setlist was perfect and kept the dance floor packed all night! They even handled a last second request for our grandmother in stride, helping to make an incredible memory for our family. The energy never wavered, and it helped make our wedding a day that we’ll never forget.
Booking Collision Six for our wedding was one of the best choices we made, and we’d make the same choice if we had to do it over again. Thank you so much to Matt and the band for making our day perfect. We can’t wait to catch another Collision Six show!

HIRE COLLISION SIX FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! From the moment we signed our contract, they were readily available to answer any of our questions and they truly held our hands through the entire wedding planning process. Not only did they function as a band, but Matt essentially functioned as a second wedding coordinator and was absolutely fantastic to work with. We had multiple in person meetings where he not only went into specifics about music/lighting/stage, but he also set up our entire wedding day timeline. On the day of the wedding he made sure that we knew exactly where we were going, what was coming next, and that the entire wedding ran on time. AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC AND ENERGY that they brought! They really read the room and played a perfect mix of oldies, classics, top hits, and slow songs. There wasn't a moment where our dance floor wasn't PACKED. My family and friends cannot stop complimenting the band and how it was the best wedding music they've ever heard. Amazing music, stellar dance moves - just an all around phenomenal performance!! We keep replaying all of the videos we have, singing and dancing, surrounded by all our family and friends! Collision Six literally made our wedding day the best day of our lives! We are already looking into their upcoming public performances so my entire family can go watch them perform again, and I'm trying to convince my husband to hire them every year for our anniversary. THANK YOU COLLISION SIX <3

I cannot begin to describe how amazing this band is. The music throughout all parts of our wedding was absolutely perfect and they KILLED IT during the reception. They were dialed in the whole night and made sure my wife and I and our guests had an unforgettable time. Besides the talent, energy, and pure hype they brought to the actual wedding night, they were instrumental in helping us plan and always provided a calming presence throughout an otherwise stressful process. Could not imagine celebrating our wedding or going through wedding planning with a different band. I wish I could give more stars because they deserve it!

We absolutely loved working with Matt and Collision 6. Leading up to the wedding, Matt was incredibly detailed and organized, helping to walk us through all of the options he had to offer and learned about our vision to help us choose the right package for us. Additionally, Matt helped us with a detailed walkthrough of the timeline of the day and how he and his team will help move everything along to keep it on schedule. That all came to fruition on the day of our wedding, and beyond stellar organization and high quality sound during our ceremony, Matt and the band were incredible. The live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful, and the band had the whole party dancing all night long. It was so fun listening to all the songs we had picked out for them to play, and to hear how they had weaved it together into an amazing set list that kept the party raging all night. Overall, our time working with Collision 6 was a joy and we truly loved the performance.

I am a wedding photographer and recently photographed a wedding at the Dearborn Inn with Collision Six. This was our first time working together as vendors and it was a great professional experience. But more importantly, they were AMAZING. I'm lucky to hear a lot of great bands at weddings but Collision Six was top notch. Me and my 2nd photographer stayed over an hour beyond the time we needed to for photography just because the music was so good and for us, the crowd was dancing like crazy, which makes for the best photos.
Not only were they amazing musicians, but they were good as MCs, and "hosting" the evening, the sound was great throughout the entire space and they had a variety of genres of music in their repertoire. If I were planning my own wedding, Collision Six would definitely be at the top of my list and I'll be recommending them to future couples for sure.

When we first started wedding planning, I told my husband that one of my deal breakers was having a live band. We found Collision Six through my cousin who had them play at her wedding, however, we were unable to attend due to COVID restrictions at the time. When we first met with Matt, we knew we would be taken care of. The process he has designed and laid out in choosing a band was very clear and easy to follow. Matt also offered his advice when we were torn between two venues which I was very much appreciative of. Matt was always available via email even though his schedule was probably just as busy as ours. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and we are still getting compliments from our family and friends to this day!

I will admit that I was nervous about paying up for Collision Six's prices, as it was easily the most expensive part of our wedding outside of the venue itself. Not only did they make the night incredible, but they were AMAZING to work with and talk to. It was very much a group of people who seemed to love what they do. Matt and the team did everything they could to make every part of our day special and easy. We asked all of the right questions and was basically responsible for moving the day along. I could not say enough great things about them, please book them for your event!

I cannot express how Collision Six blew us out of the water on our wedding day!! Matt and his team were so incredibly helpful and thorough throughout the process of planning our wedding. Even from the very first consultation call with Collision Six, they were putting us at ease for our wedding. Throughout the process we always felt that Matt and his team really cared about the performance that they would put on and wanted us and our guests to have a great time, probably almost as much as we did. They were prompt to send us an extensive catalog of songs to choose from for both DJing and the Live band. All communication with Matt and his team was prompt and very helpful. They are the epitome of professional.
Now get to the wedding day…. the reception was off the charts!!! Every song choice fit perfectly into the flow of the reception, and they kept the dance floor packed all night! The band even played live for all the first dances which was very special. They were very fun and high energy, and we've received countless compliments from guests about how much they loved the band. Matt even jumped onto the dance floor (which I loved!!). My husband and I did not get off the dance floor once as the party was rocking! Hiring Collision Six was one of the best choices we made, and you cannot go wrong with them as your band!

Collision six was an outstanding band, from the planning stages all the way until our wedding. Matt, the band leader, is remarkably thorough and professional. He was very interested in getting a feel for the type of wedding that my wife and I wanted and making that vision a reality. His planning process ensured that everything would go perfectly the day of the wedding and it certainly did. Myself, my wife, and all of our guests were blown away by the band. It wouldn't have been the same wedding without them. I would recommend Collision Six without reservation to anybody looking for a band for their wedding or special event.

First of all, it’s hard to put into words how amazing Collision Six's overall performance was – they truly were the highlight of our wedding reception! The experience from start to finish with Collision Six was second to none. They made an extremely conscious effort to develop a relationship with my wife and I prior to the wedding and ensured that their music selection was tailored to our preferences. The time Collision Six spent with us prior to the wedding really made for a seamless performance the night of the wedding! In addition to the music selection, Collison Six spent a lot of time making sure that knew every single detail about the wedding reception and their responsibilities (e.g., names of everyone in the bridal party, timing of specific announcements / reception events, etc.). This took a lot of stress off my wife and I as we never had to worry about announcements or key events being missed!
From start to finish, every single song Collision Six performed was phenomenal – the vocals and instruments were absolutely perfect! Every single person at the wedding commented on how amazing Collision Six was, with wedding attendees remarking that Collision Six was the best wedding band they had ever heard! The range and variety of music Collision Six performed was amazing and they did an incredible job of reacting to the vibe of the dance floor and tailoring their music selection accordingly! The dance floor was packed the entire wedding reception and Collision Six was the main reason for that! My wife and I can honestly say that the best decision we made was choosing Collision Six as our wedding band! Anyone looking to plan a big event or wedding should book Collision Six Immediately!

So much energy from you, your friends and your family; it made the entire evening so much fun for us too. Congratulations again; we definitely hope to see you again in the future!

There are not enough positive things I can say about Matt and his team at Collision Six. My husband and I wanted to have a wedding reception that was memorable, filled with laughter, dancing, and love. Matt and his team were able to provide all of that and more. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone kept sharing that this was the best band they have ever heard! They even learned new songs as a group for our first dances and for the live music during our ceremony.
Throughout the entire planning process, Matt was incredibly professional. He listened to our vision and requests and delivered on anything we asked. Matt was critical to keeping our reception on time so we could have as much time as possible on the dance floor with our friends and family. As a bride that cared a lot about staying on time and little details, this helped me relax and enjoy the night.
I would recommend having Matt and Collision Six as your wedding band to anyone that asked, you will not regret it!

Collision Six performed at our wedding on June 18 and our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing they were! “Best wedding band I have EVER heard” has seriously been on repeat — and food good reason. Our wedding literally broke the dance floor … that’s how much fun we were all having. Matt Rappaport was an absolute pleasure to work with as well and put a lot of time and energy into ensuring we had planned the day perfectly. I could not be more thankful to the whole C6 team for being such an important part of our special day and for making it so much fun!

We couldn't have envisioned our wedding band performance having gone any better than it did with Collision Six. From the very beginning, working with Matt made the planning of the event smooth: he has great experience, is very thorough in his process, and is especially thoughtful of his clients' desires.
At our wedding, C6 was spectacular! They played an amazing set with a ton of energy that kept the wedding party dancing all night. After only our grand entrance, guests were already raving about the band, and we've heard even more great comments for days after the wedding.
We highly recommend C6 for weddings or any other events.

So cool that people starting raving about their experience so early in the night and that it carried forward in the days after. Thank you for including us in your special day. Congrats again!

From start to finish, it was a seamless process with C6 and their performance and energy were a critical element in making our day perfect. We felt like we were in amazing hands with Matt and trusted him completely, always leaving our calls feeling super excited. Everything on the wedding day itself was super smooth and exactly how we hoped it to be, from the ceremony music and hora to the dance sets. The band was absolutely OUTSTANDING and everyone was dancing the entire night. C6 brought incredible energy, talent, and passion-- and everyone was raving about them the entire night and afterward. We felt like we could dance for 4 more hours when they announced it was time for the last song. We wish we could have more parties and events so that we could work with Matt and the entire C6 family-- it was truly perfect. Everyone told us that C6 was the best, and they sure delivered and went above and beyond. If you want the most jamming dance party and a silky smooth planning process with people you can trust, go with Collision Six.

My daughter's wedding would not have been as much fun without Collision Six. Matt was collaborative and professional during planning. He kept us all on track with great suggestions. The band members are not only wonderful people, but amazing musicians. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end. As the mother of the bride, I felt confident as soon as I met Matt that we were in good hands. He gave me a gift at the wedding, which was not to worry and have fun- and I did. I would recommend them to everyone.

It was an amazing party, and we're so glad you trusted us to deliver a great experience for your family. Congrats again!

Collision Six played our wedding this past weekend in Cleveland, Ohio. We did a ton of research to find the right band for our event and decided on them after meeting over Google Meet a couple times with the band leader Matt and talking with others who had used them for the wedding.
Collision Six blew our expectations out of the water. They fit the exact vibe that we were hoping for for our wedding and kept the dance floor going the entire night.
Matt was extremely organized and walked us through the entire process from initially booking them to the day of the wedding. He was thorough in understanding what we were looking for and making sure he was giving us the perfect experience.
I cannot recommend Collision Six more. They made our wedding a spectacular time and something we will remember forever. Thanks again Collision Six!

Collision Six kept the party going at our wedding all night long! Matt was very responsive and easy to work with, and they were receptive to our fairly specific requests regarding "must plays" and "do not plays." The saxophone was a huge hit, and my husband and I never left the dance floor all night. We would highly recommend booking Collision Six for your wedding!

We loved working with collision six as our band! Matt made the planning process so easy and straightforward, and the band was amazing! I have already had multiple people reach out for their contact info from our wedding. We had many musicians there who all complimented the band as well. The price is high, but you seriously get what you pay for with Collision Six. Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives!
response 05/12/2022
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! We had so much fun celebrating with you (and ...
the planning was fun too!). It's a bigger compliment than you know that other musicians said good things about our group; other musicians are the toughest critics, so we love hearing that. So glad you felt the cost carried the value, and MORE glad that you had the best day of your lives. Thanks for asking us to celebrate with you!

Matt is very attentive to the point that at the beginning I wondered if we were in some kind of music couples therapy. :) But TRUST ME, there is a method to his madness. He took the time to get to know us, understand our musical tastes, and understand what kind of wedding we wanted and then, most importantly, delivered. He also kept in touch through the entirety of our (long) 18 month engagement, which really helped ease any anxiety.
We had some odd things to coordinate such as a New Orleans style second line to lead people from dinner to the dancing portion of the evening, and they executed on this flawlessly. I highly recommend splurging on the horn section. I had so many people tell me, "I hate wedding bands and this was NOT a wedding band." Truly, they are a wedding band for people who think they hate wedding bands. It was more like a concert with truly talented musicians. Hire them! You will not be sorry!

aha), and we're grateful that you joined us on the journey so we could make your wedding dreams a reality! We loved all the little details you pulled together, including the amazing second line to get the party started! That was AMAZING! Maybe the best part of this review is something so near and dear to our hearts -- that we're a wedding band for people who think they hate wedding bands. Wedding bands are LAME! And we're not that. Thanks for noticing! And congrats again!

Collision Six made our wedding what it was! Their energy was at 100% all evening, in fact their final set had everyone on their feet and singing their hearts out even harder than the first! Matt was great to work with from start to finish and made the entire process seamless and easy, and as the bride it was so much appreciated that I did not have to worry about a single thing that day. We also had a jazz trio perform at our cocktail hour which created such a fun ambience for our guests. Matt communicates closely with the wedding planner and other vendors so that everything is completely streamlined and that is a huge weight off the shoulders of the couple. I could not recommend C6 more!

Also love the shout-out for the jazz trio! They're great, right? We're so glad that you appreciated our approach to communication, planning and executing with the other vendors. It means a lot. Thanks for writing this awesome review!

When we first got engaged we went over things that we wanted no matter what, a live band was at the top of that list. Collision Six and Matt checked all of our boxes if not more. We moved out of Michigan soon after we got engaged down to Virginia, so our local wedding now became a destination. Matt was AMAZING to work with! From late night zoom calls to work around our schedules, to learning our first dance song that they had never played before, to Matt's Dad and My Dad becoming friends along the way since we were out of state. It was amazing from start to finish. Matt kept the dance floor full from the first song to the last. My husband and I have been hearing non stop about how amazing the band was and how great the singers were! I would recommend Collision Six to everyone and anyone.
Thank you again for everything!

We just had Collision Six perform for our wedding, and the band was spectacular. People kept telling us what an amazing band we had picked the whole night of the wedding and the days following. From the time we originally hired the band (pre-Covid), Matt was very responsive and provided great advice and guidance. Due to Covid, we ended up pushing the wedding a year, and the band was easy to work with in rescheduling.
We had the unfortunate circumstance of having the MC and lead singers test positive for Covid the day before the wedding. They found replacements who had played with the band in the past and who performed phenomenally. Our only complaint was the pushback we received when we asked that the rest of the band get tested for Covid the morning of the wedding, as a precaution to our guests. Ultimately, the rest of the band did get tested and the day went off without a hitch! We would definitely recommend and use Collision Six in the future!

We're also happy that you appreciated our approach pre-event, including dealing with the craziness of last-minute lineup changes because of COVID. We often talk about the importance of open and honest dialogue and being able to give push back, and we appreciate you going through all of that with us so we could land at a solution that ultimately made sense. So glad everything worked out and you had an amazing party! Thanks for choosing us!
