Euphoria truly fulfilled all of our wedding band dreams. From our initial contact with them to the day of our wedding, they were extremely quick to communicate which was a stress reliever for all of the busy wedding planning to -dos! They kept ...
our entire reception on schedule, which was extremely important to us! The dance floor was never empty. In fact, we had 100+ people still on the dance floor at the end demanding more haha! We received many compliments on our wedding band choice and a few guests have reached out for their contact info! If you like an up-beat band who applies to all different generations, Euphoria should be at the top of your list!

Euphoria are the real deal. 11 out of 10
Having them was absolutely one of the best decisions we’ve made. Gary was a big part in preparation. He was like an invisible wedding coordinator. Very good communication, never said no. Very accommodating and responsive. I don’t know how he do...
es it and the whole band, but they will rock the party and everyone really enjoyed it and gave good compliments. If you by chance have a doubt, you’re missing half of an important part of a party.

Holy cow, what an incredible, immensely talented band! Our dance floor was always packed and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. The whole band was extremely professional, especially Gary (the band leader). Gary was so friendly, helpful...

We can't recommend them enough!

Thank you Kassie!! What a great day it turned out to be. From the beautiful ceremony to the party, it couldn’t have been better! The after party was awesome too! All the best to you and Carter!!
Gary is so easy to work with. Out of the wedding vendors I dealt with, Gary by far blew them out of the water. Their performance is second to none! If you need a band, this is your choice!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2021
Thank you Lane!! We had such an awesome time too! It was great to see Liv, Drew, and your parents again! We wish you guys nothing but the best!
Holy Moly! Euphoria blew our socks off. I am still hearing how awesome they were. Gary, the lead contact and artist was awesome! His communication was so quick and professional. He was so cool on the day of the wedding and made everything perfe...
ct. They were honestly so good, so interactive with our guests and played such a cool variety!! I highly recommend them!
Absolutely amazing! The dance floor was packed from start to finish. From the beginning Gary made the entire process so simple and stress free for us. They truly cared about making this a night to remember. Highly, highly recommend Euphoria, ...
they took our special night to anther level!
I can't say enough about how amazing Euphoria was at our wedding. Gary invited my husband and I out to hear them play prior to booking and we loved how the band connected with the audience. The entire booking process was easy and Gary guided us...
through it all. Any questions we had were immediately answered and that really but my mind at ease. Not only did Euphoria pack our dance floor for the entire evening, Gary also was the best MC! Numerous guests have told us that our wedding was one of the best they have attended and Euphoria definitely played a major role in the success! If you are looking to book a live band, your search can stop here, Euphoria is the best!
We had Euphoria perform at our wedding and it was the best decision we ever made! They completely made our wedding! They had our guests dancing the entire night and people could not stop talking about how talented they are. If you are in need o...
f a band in Chicago, Euphoria is without a doubt the best in the entire area. They were even willing to let me sing a song with them that made the night even more unforgettable. 5 stars!! 10 out of 10!! Can’t wait to see them live again soon!
Euphoria is amazing! They knocked it out of the park at our wedding on New Year's eve. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we continue to hear raving comments from all of our guests. Highly recommend!!!
We loved working with Euphoria for our wedding! From first contact, they were incredible to work with. A few things, in particular, put them a step above the rest: 1) We wanted to see them play live before booking. Without hesitation, they offe...
red us complimentary tickets to a performance they were doing. 2) They were willing to travel from Chicago to Stoughton, WI, a 2 hour trek, for no extra charge. 3) Adding additional musicians (in our case, a sax) was super easy and affordable. Their repertoire is super diverse, and they sound great. The dance floor was packed all the night!
WOW! Euphoria was incredible! I probably had over 30 people tell me it was the best wedding band they had ever been and have had many ask me for their contacts. The band was so lively that on their first song almost everyone was dancing... 200 ...
people! Gary was absolutely wonderful to coordinate with, my husband and I did not know all the steps to the wedding and he gladly helped us along and always followed up when we forgot to reply. His playlist was a smash and the whole dance floor was pack from the first song all they way till the last. Everyone said they had never seen anything like it. Also, Euphoria was half the price of other wedding bands we were considering, so I feel that we received a huge discount on an incredible band. Thank you Euphoria for making our wedding the party of our lifetime!!
Thank you Euphoria band for setting up the energy and keeping our guests dancing all night. We still get feedback on how great the music, band and the party was. Gary did a fantastic job in hosting and keeping the flow going. Euphoria is very e...
asy to work with, very professional group of talented and high energy musicians. I highly recommend Euphoria and will hire them again in the future!
Our experience with Gary Tu and the Euphoria band was beyond our expectations. We went to see the band at the Blue Chip Casino and while we liked them a lot, much of what we heard would be foreign to our crowd. They provided their playlist an...
d we were able to find roughly 50 songs that we thought would work for our wedding reception. They confined their playlist to these songs plus requests. In addition, they learned to play "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" for our first dance and Kool and the Gang's "Celebrate" because we wanted to hear it. Gary played DJ and announcer for the ceremony and dinner, and everyone raved about the music they played. We are so happy that we chose Euphoria and are so pleased with their contribution to our perfect wedding.
This band is amazing. They played at my niece's wedding and they "rocked" it. We danced all night long. At the demand of the crowd at the wedding, they played for 1 extra hour. "Best wedding ever" because we had the "best band ever"!!!! T...
hank you Euphoria for the best night of our lives.
Euphoria- Where do we even begin? We selected Euphoria only three months into our engagement and noticed that there were not too many reviews about them. So we decided to see them play before hiring and were blown away. Since that moment, Ga...
ry was nothing but attentive and enthusiastic about our wedding. He ensured that our vision would be met and went out of his way to prep for our day (i.e. found us a violinist for the ceremony and MCed during dinner).
But the best part was by far their performance. The band had as much fun as our guests did and they played with such enthusiasm! The dance floor never emptied and they played a variety of music. At the end of the evening, our guests even chanted for an encore.
This was the best decision in our wedding planning process. I would hire Euphoria again in a heartbeat. You will not regret this decision, Euphoria is the best!
Fantastic entertainment from start to finish! Our guests charged the dance floor right as Euphoria hit the fourth note of their very first song played! Honestly, the only time our guests left the dance floor was due to the fact they needed a ...
refreshment and a quick return to the floor every time!
Euphoria was crazy good. Every person at the wedding was up and dancing the entire time. Not only because the band was so great, the dj service was fabulous. Gary could have been the wedding planner, he ran the entire reception. I can't tha...
nk them enough.
Hiring Euphoria Band for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision we could have made made! They were perfect from start to finish. Melissa and Gary were beyond professional and excellent in communicating with me prior to the event, whic...
h was a little more challenging as we were planning our wedding from 1800 miles away. And then come wedding day, Gary was spot-on as DJ and "coordinator" of the event and made sure everything ran smoothly. His DJ skills during the ceremony and dinner were great but then when the band started, let me tell you...NON-STOP FUN for the remainder of the night. They played something for everybody; the dance floor stayed packed all night and nobody wanted to leave! Over and over we kept hearing (and are still hearing), "Yours is the BEST wedding I've ever been to!" Don't waste your money on a DJ; I guarantee Euphoria Band will see to it you have the best night of your lives. Thank you to Euphoria Band for making our night so memorable!
The Euphoria Band was above our expectations for our wedding. Gary met with us well in advance to go over logistics, and was prompt emailing back and forth, no matter how small or large of questions we had. I would highly recommend them to any ...
one looking for a wedding band that has a wide range of songs to appeal to all crowds. Thanks Euphoria for making our wedding day so special! May, 2017
Hiring Euphoria for our wedding was easily the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Not only was Gary super easy to work with, but he helped us every step of the way from choosing songs for our dances and coordinating the timeline with our pl...
anner. Plus, Gary is a BEAST on the guitar!!! Our friends would not stop raving to us about how awesome the band was! They played such a great mix of songs that everyone from my grandmother to my little cousins got down on the dance floor. If you want a band to take you wedding to the next level, then look no further. Thank you Euphoria, for making our wedding such a memorable night. Our friends will be talking about for years to come!
