t. We have had multiple wedding guests ask for their information after our wedding!! Highly highly recommend.
If you’re worried about getting the right entertainment, The Gina Glocksen Band is your answer. Of all the things going on in the day, don’t let the music be one of them. Gina and ...
her guys truly knocked it out of the park for our wedding. The gauged crowd and played music that everyone would love. I have been to a lot of weddings and I have never seen so many people on the dance floor for the entirety of the wedding. They brought so much energy and were a hit. The band is the easiest to work with and truly are there to help and please the bride and groom. Gina’s voice is out of this world but more impressively she is very versatile — she will rap and then slow it down, and not miss a beat.
Look no further than the Gina Glocksen Band - you won’t regret it!

Our wedding was last night! We woke up this morning and felt so passionately about leaving a glowing review for this band that we haven’t even left our hotel room yet! Every single...
step of the planning process with Kyle was done with care, humor, and professionalism. We cannot express our gratitude enough for how amazing this band made our reception. They were phenomenal! Our friends and family were raving all night long about Gina Glocksen and her band! Gina has an enormous personality and her voice is unforgettable. Many of our friends said they wish they had hired this band for their own weddings. For those that truly love music and dancing, I would start and end here with your search for the perfect band!
We were honored to have GGB play at our wedding. From the very start of planning our reception Gina and the band were so professional and easy to work with, they made the whole pro...
cess simple which took a lot off of our plate.
The day of the wedding (which was on New Year’s Eve) they blew us and our guests away. All The playlists from the cocktail hour, dinner music and then dancing, they nailed. They captured the exact ambiance and vibe we were going for and made sure all our favorite songs whether they played them live or dj’d, we heard them. As a bride what I especially appreciated was the job Gina did emcing the night. She was exceptional, organizing the speeches and making sure who needed the mic had it and it all went off without a hitch!
They were more then just a band, mc or dj, they partnered with us creating the vibe we wanted for the best day of our lives. We would recommend GGB to anyone and my advice to couples out there going if you are unsure or on the fence,know that GGB is a band full of remarkable people and that band is an amazing investment that ensures you will have the time of your life at your reception.
We used the Gina Glocksen Band for our wedding in 2013 and we still agree that was the best decision we've ever made. Still 5 years later, people always tell us how great the music...
was, how engaging the band was, and how much fun the wedding was because of the band. I've been to weddings before where the music has been subpar and you will see most people sitting at tables or standing on the sides, even going home early. But our dance floor was 100% packed the entire night and we even extended our wedding 1 extra hour during the event just because everyone was having so much fun. My wife and I highly recommend using Gina and her band for any wedding...you won't regret it!
When my Wife and I began planning our wedding we already had The Gina Glocksen Band as our #1 priority. Having already seen the band in action at two previous weddings, we knew we...
had to have them perform at our own. Before we booked our venue, Gina gave us their availability for possible days so we were sure they were available. The GGB had all the right pieces: entertaining, great song lineup, experience, and affordable. During it seems that at every wedding we have experienced The GGB the dance floor was filled all night long. Gina is a true performer and knows how to engage the crowd. The song lineup made for great entertainment for guests of all ages and Gina was accommodating if we wanted to choose some songs for them to play. The band was both professional and accommodating for my Wife and I. They offered suggestions when we asked for them and made changes when we asked for them. As always when planning a wedding, the majority of couples have a financial budget and we were no different. We knew we wanted this band over a DJ and had the understanding that we would be paying more for that. When talking with other friends who were currently planning weddings and looking at other bands I noticed that these other bands were quoting them 50% to 100% higher then what we booked Gina for. It was truly a win-win situation. We could not have been happier with our experience and my Wife and I would recommend The Gina Glocksen Band to any Bride and Groom.
I had Gina Glocksen band play at my October 2016 wedding. They were amazing! It was great to be able to work with the band creating an individualized playlist based on what we want...
ed to hear and knew our guests would love. They were very professional and easy to work with. The reception was awesome. They showed up early to get set up, and even brought glow sticks for all the guests. Everyone was up and dancing the entire night from when the band started. We had about every single guest tell us how great the band was and how much fun they were having. We even had a groomsmen get up on stage and sing with them. I would highly recommend GGB for your next event. They will help make it incredibly memorable and unforgettable for you and your guests!
“Listen up Brides and Grooms! Serious, listen… If you want the most amazing band to play at your wedding you must hire the Gina Glocksen Band, hands down! Our wedding is now a mon...
th past and guests are still raving about the GGB band. It was easy to see the entire band puts all their effort and heart into their performance. They rocked it all night long! Planning the night was a breeze with the GGB center stage. Gina has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard and she did an exceptional job as the DJ. I felt like I had one of my best friends up there. I have hired several well-known Chicago based bands for large corporate events and the GGB exceeded all expectations. Hire them now before their prices go up!”
