Wow! The Gold Coast Orchestra exceeded all expectations!! The talented singers and horn section interacted with our guests on the dance floor throughout the night, getting everybody up to dance and keeping them there. Everyone was blown away by how talented the entire band was, and it felt more like a concert than a wedding band! The planning with Mike was smooth and easy, and his suggestions were very helpful, and he helped create the perfect timeline. Hiring GCO for our wedding was one of the best investments we made. We are grateful to GCO for a beautiful night we will never forget! Book your venue then book the Gold Coast Orchestra for the party of your life!!
The Gold Coast Orchestra absolutely crushed at our wedding! They made our party a huge success and a fun, worry-free night! Mike was great to work with because he cares about every bride and groom. He was responsive, attentive, a complete pro, and a great emcee, guiding the party from start to finish. Our biggest priority was to have a packed dance floor all night, and the Gold Coast Orchestra made our vision come true. So many of our guests told us the band was the best they’d ever seen at a wedding. I can’t recommend GCO highly enough! The best decision you'll make (besides getting married, of course)!!
We were blown away by how incredible The Gold Coast Orchestra made our wedding day! From the first interaction to the final song, they exceeded all expectations and delivered an unforgettable experience.
Working with them was seamless—professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in ensuring everything was exactly how we envisioned. They took the time to get to know us, understand our taste and created a personalized and perfect event.
The energy in the room exploded from the moment the band started playing! They kept our dance floor packed the entire night! Guests of all ages couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the music was. They masterfully balanced elegance and excitement, keeping the vibe upscale yet so much fun.
One of the highlights was how they nailed our first dance song.
If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your wedding into an unforgettable celebration, The Gold Coast Orchestra is the only choice. Trust me, they will leave you and your guests talking about your wedding for years to come!
Thank you, Gold Coast Orchestra, for making our dream wedding a reality!!
Hiring The Gold Coast Orchestra for our wedding was the most crucial decision to make our wedding a home run! We first saw them at a friend’s wedding last year and were blown away—we knew right then and there we had to have them for our big day. They were our first choice after signing with our venue, and they exceeded every expectation!
From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was PACKED all night long! Their high-energy music and incredible entertainment kept everyone dancing and smiling—from young kids to grandparents. They nailed every song, seamlessly mixing classics with current Top 40 hits. They also paid close attention to our requests and don’t-play list, creating the perfect vibe for our celebration.
During our search, we looked at other "Big Agency" bands, and although they were way more expensive, they didn’t come close to what Gold Coast delivered. They were a dream to work with leading up to the event, super professional, and made the planning process easy and stress-free.
If you’re looking for a band that will keep your guests raving and your dance floor packed, look no further than The Gold Coast Orchestra. I can’t recommend them highly enough! Book them NOW—you won’t regret it!
Hiring The Gold Coast Orchestra was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding! From start to finish, they completely exceeded our expectations. The energy they brought to the party was intense, and the dance floor was packed the entire night. Our guests are still raving about how incredible the music was. They played the perfect mix of songs to keep everyone, young and old, entertained and dancing non-stop.
What truly set them apart was their ability to connect with the crowd. The band sounded phenomenal and got out on the dance floor to interact with everyone, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and excitement. Several of our friends planning weddings have already said they want to book them, so we can't wait to dance to their music again!
Working with Mike, the band leader, was a dream. He made the entire process smooth and seamless, listening to our vision and personalizing our experience. His attention to detail and genuine care made everything stress-free, which is priceless when planning a wedding.
If you're looking for a band that will elevate your wedding to the next level, keep your guests talking for weeks, and create unforgettable memories, The Gold Coast Orchestra is the only choice. Thank you, Mike and the team, for making our night absolutely magical!
Wow! If you’re considering a band for your wedding, you have to choose Gold Coast Orchestra. They are so talented. They play songs based on the crowd and they honor any request that you’ve made for song choices. Mike is such a pleasure to work with and the entire band is so amazing! They really made my wedding so much fun and people are still talking about them. They interact with the crowd and help make eveuthing run so smoothly. 10/10 you must choose them!
Gold Coast Made Our Wedding a Smash Hit!
The Gold Coast Orchestra MADE our wedding a success-a smash hit beyond my wildest dreams! From the moment we booked them, Mike was a dream to work with—so professional, knowledgable, and easy-going. He helped us plan the perfect timeline and nailed the song selection. Their energy was intense, and the dance floor was packed all night! My friends and family still can't stop talking about how much fun they had. Honestly, it was the best wedding ever, and so many of my friends have been asking for GCO's info so they can book them for their weddings. If you're looking for a band that will make your party an unforgettable home run, book the Gold Coast Orchestra!
The Gold Coast Orchestra was the best decision we made for our wedding! Mike was easy to work with, from planning the timeline to selecting the right songs to keep the dance floor packed all night. Our friends and family are still raving about the band, and we're so excited that we will not only have the opportunity to dance to the band again next year at my sister's wedding, but my Matron of Honor loved the band so much that she hired them as well! So look no further and hire the Gold Coast Orchestra for your next party!!
Working with Mike and the Gold Coast Orchestra made wedding planning a breeze! Our top priority was having fantastic music at our reception, and they definitely delivered. Mike kept us informed throughout the entire process and ensured everything went smoothly on the big day. The band was exceptional and kept the dance floor lively all night by reading the crowd and adapting their music. They were hands down the best band we've ever seen!
Cannot say enough good things about this talented group. After speaking with a few other vendors, we hired Gold Coast after only a brief meeting and seeing a few YouTube videos… days leading up to our wedding my husband and I got a little nervous that we’d never heard them live. Our wedding day came and we were absolutely blown away. We’d choose them a million times over! They exceeded all of our expectations; we were very clear our group wanted to party, and song after song they delivered. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about them either. You will not regret it.
After hearing the Gold Coast Orchestra at our friend’s wedding, they were the first vendor we hired for our special day…and they were even more incredible! All of our friends and family agreed they were truly amazing, but Mike was so professional and accommodating throughout the year leading up to our event and answered every question, helped with our timeline, and basically became my honorary wedding therapist! What a consummate professional, going above and beyond to make our party a dream come true. Music is one of the most essential parts of any wedding, and GCO’s talent and energy made our party unforgettable. They are a band to plan your entire wedding around, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!!
Gold Coast DJ + live musicians really is the best of both worlds! While the DJ rocked the dance floor all night long the live musicians added the energy and intensity of a live band. This was the best decision we made regarding our wedding! I would book Gold Coast over and over again. The music selection was perfect!! The sax player strolled the room and entertained the crowd, and the percussionist added an impressive layer of showmanship. All of our guests raved!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
The Gold Coast Orchestra was amazing to work with. They completely transformed the vibe of our wedding and absolutely crushed it. All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire time, from my little niece to my grandmother!
Mike took us through the entire process and helped us create an effective timeline. I can't recommend Gold Coast Orchestra highly enough. It was easily one of the best decisions we made.
We are still receiving compliments from our guests about the band! They will make your special day truly memorable. Go GCO!!
Gold Coast Orchestra are party animals, and we received more compliments on our band than any other aspect of our wedding. They were the best wedding band we have ever heard, and our guests all agreed. They couldn't stop raving weeks later! They are super talented musicians and vocalists, but Mike and his crew know how to get a party started and keep the dance floor packed all night long. Mike and his team were so easy to work with, from the first conversation to dealing with all of the crazy twists and turns we threw at them.
They know how to work the crowd and get right out onto the dance floor to make sure the party feels like a Manhattan nightclub. They did a great job reading the guests.
This is not your parent's wedding band! These are amazing musicians and entertainers that will light up your dance floor and keep the fire burning until the final encore. Everyone was chanting "one more song" until the venue had to shut the band down to go home and our guests had to get on the shuttle back to the hotel!
Live music will make your party, so stop looking and book the Gold Coast Orchestra for your special day! And how about sending me an invitation so I can dance to their music one more time-LOL! Thanks for making our night so special!
Ever heard the old adage that nothing beats the sound of a live band? I did. And after hiring Gold Coast Orchestras for my daughter’s wedding, and attending too many DJ-focused weddings, I am a firm believer.
Michael Kohn and his group of seasoned, high energy and highly professional musicians made our wedding one to remember. Michael’s one on one involvement in helping my daughter to select a vast variety of appropriate music was invaluable. His final playlist reflected the desires of the bride and groom while satisfying the wide variety of musical styles.
Micheal also showed a genuine interest to ensure a successful event. Our food service and floor plan were less than traditional. Working directly with Michael, we were able to develop an effective program that satisfied the caterers while allowing the band to do there job; entertain, drive folks to the dance floor, keep the energy at a higher level and guests smiling.
Finally, the obligatory “this was a great party” from guests as they departed was expected. But, the sincere and enthusiastic commentary from my guests was frankly, overwhelming. Of particular note were the raves I received about Gold Coast.
My family and I made a lot of good decisions regarding my daughter’s wedding. Rest assured all your plans will fall short if the musical component is not effective. My decision to use Gold Coast was the best one I made by far.
We were so happy with Gold Coast orchestra!! They were so flexible, easy to get in contact with. They also were there every step of the way to make your event perfect and to make it exactly they way you dreamed of it to be. My husband and I highly recommend their band !! We received so many compliments on this band for our wedding!
Our wedding would not have been the same without the Gold Coast Orchestra! They were indeed the life of the party, and the band was incredible. Working with Mike was a comforting experience since we had to change our wedding date twice due to Covid. He could not have been more accommodating throughout these difficult times and really put us at ease. They kept the dance going all night long with 10 amazing musicians and vocalists. Their level of energy and interaction with the audience was terrific. The band was the most talked about part of our entire party, and the compliments keep coming. The whole evening was executed flawlessly. Thank you for sharing our special day and creating memories that will last a lifetime. They made the wedding perfect, right down to our first dance and parent dance requests. I’ve already recommended them to multiple guests, so we hope to dance to the Gold Coast Orchestra again soon.
My husband and I got married on 2/14/21. We decided to push forward with our covid wedding, and we are so happy that we did. We knew that we wanted to have some form of entertainment, being that there was no dancing allowed. Our venue recommended Gold Coast for live music, and we could not be happier with this choice. Mike was so accommodating and worked with us to put together a four-piece band. The music was amazing, and our guests continue to rave about how great the music was that night. We weren't sure how it would work in a covid world, but our guests (and us) had so much fun. If you are looking for live music, we highly recommend Gold Coast. They were easy to work with and did an amazing job. Thank you, Gold Coast and Mike, for making our wedding feel special, especially during such crazy times!
The Gold Coast Orchestra was absolutely AMAZING!!! We knew that we wanted to go with GCO because they played at my friend’s wedding and we were blown away. They exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. Throughout the entire process, Mike was a pleasure to work with. He was very prompt with responses to any questions I had. When the reception finally came, the band was unbelievable. They had the dance floor packed the entire night and our friends and family keep complimenting how great the music was. If you’re looking for a wedding band, go with the Gold Coast Orchestra and you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable wedding!
This band is AMAZING! Mike was so great to work with! Everyone from our wedding has been calling and telling us this was the best wedding band that they have ever seen and multiple people asked for their name and contact info. The vibe from the band was great, the tables were always empty because everyone was on the dance floor which was exactly what we wanted. We can’t thank Gold Coast enough and we would highly recommend them to everyone!
Having a live, fun, energetic band was very important to us for our wedding, and the Gold Coast Orchestra was the absolutely perfect choice We had about 250 guests of all ages and they were all up dancing to a wide variety of music, from classics to current hits. Our dance floor was packed from the moment they opened the doors to the reception! Michael also did a fantastic job from start to finish leading up to our special day, guiding us through the planning stages, and making sure the band flawlessly performed our special dance requests. Everything was exactly as we envisioned. Hiring the Gold Coast Orchestra was one of the best decisions we made for our party!
The Gold Coast Orchestra made our dream wedding a reality! Truly an outstanding and entertaining band!! Not only great music that kept everyone dancing all night long, but a professional, personal touch in the planning stages. All of our requests were played perfectly, even last minute on the spot songs our friends wanted to hear. Booking the Gold Coast Orchestra was the best decision we ever made (besides marrying each other, of course :=) ! Guests have been telling us ever since what an amazing time they had dancing, and it was the best band they ever heard at a wedding. I would absolutely highly recommend Michael and his band!!
When we started to discuss what was most important to us for our big day, it came down to a fabulous venue and a fantastic band that would keep the party going throughout the evening and make sure nobody would want to leave the dance floor. The Gold Coast Orchestra truly delivered an awesome and energetic show! Michael was exceptionally accommodating, guiding us through the entire process, and keeping our wedding flowing exactly as we planned. People are still talking about our party and the band! We were very impressed with what a kind, talented, and professional group all of the musicians were. We highly recommend the Gold Coast Orchestra to anyone throwing a party!
The Gold Coast Orchestra was AMAZING! This band rocks....literally! From start to finish, Michael and his band provided incredible, friendly service, music and entertainment. This wasn’t like your typical wedding band, but the kind of show you would pay to see in concert! Michael was meticulous with every detail of the evening and easy to work with, giving our wedding that extra special touch. Our guests of all ages are still complimenting the high-energy band over and over! If you want your guests to dance and have a blast, this is the band to hire. The floor was packed all night long. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
