Philip and Good Musicians were truly incredible for our wedding! They provided the string duo for our ceremony, the guitarist during cocktail hour, and a 7 piece band including a male and female singer. Our guests even commented how good the guitarist was during cocktail hour! They played a wide variety of music including Spanish music, classics, country, alternative, pop etc., and nailed every song! They also did the Hora for us as well. The singers (male singer-Philip is the band manager) and the female singer sounded amazing live! The band and the DJ during the band breaks kept the energy alive all night. Philip is very responsive and helped us create our vision and timeline for the reception as well. He was accessible for any questions or changes even up until the day before. We are so grateful we could have them for our wedding. For reference, we got married at The Addison in Boca Raton Florida in September 2024 in the main dining room.
I highly recommend this band for your wedding! They were amazing. We asked for a wide range of songs and they were able to perform what genres we wanted. With a crowd of 60, they were able to keep everyone dancing. They were even out on the dance floor with us! We got so many compliments about how talented this team was and I’m so glad we chose them.
Hands down the best band (music, experience, people) EVER! So many of our guests asked for Phil's info after the event - looks like he will be playing a few more weddings and charity events in my future, and I couldn't be more excited!
Huge thanks to Phil and the gang who were consummate professionals and incredible musicians. Loved every minute and highly recommend.
Any questions?
Good Musicians was the perfect choice for our wedding! We went their fusion concept which featured a DJ, a drummer, a guitar player, a saxophonist and a singer. It was the perfect blend, mixing the vibe of live music with the ability to play virtually any song. They were professional, responsive, open to playing all types of music, and, most importantly, brought the party and had everyone out on the dance floor! Philip was there for us every step of the way and even had an idea that ended up being a hit - he recommended having the sax player move among our guests during cocktail hour and people LOVED it. It set the mood immediately after the ceremony. Highly recommend them.
When we first started planning, my fiancé wanted live music and I was interested in finding a DJ. The solution: let’s do both! RAVE from Good Musicians was everything we could’ve wanted and more! They were so thorough with the song selection and ensuring that there was a good mix of genres that met our taste and variety for our guests. The dance floor was filled all night and they brought the energy and fun! We danced so hard we didn’t want the night to end. Our guests could not stop raving about how great the band sounded! Thank you so much Rave for the most amazing wedding we could’ve ever dreamed of! It was perfect!

We hired Philip from Good Musicians for our wedding and he was phenomenal! Philip played acoustic guitar for our ceremony/cocktail hour and then transitioned to a fantastic DJ for the reception! He did such a great job playing the song requests we had on the guitar, and he even learned a few that was very important for us to be played! We got SO many compliments from the guests of the wedding on how well he preformed- including family members that are singers and performers themselves! Then for the reception, he brought the PARTY as the DJ. He was able to really capture the vibe of what we were looking for as well as what the guests wanted to hear. Prior to the wedding, he was very attentive to what we were looking for in terms of song request and do not play lists. He also provided a very large song library of suggestions, as well as songs he knows how to play via Spotify- this made our lives SO much easier and was such a great resource! We also rented uplighting and cold fireworks for our wedding though Philip, which really elevated the party atmosphere. I highly recommend to hire Philip/good musicians for your wedding, he was such a pleasure to have! I can only imagine how talented his band is as well!!

Steph! You and Devon were so easy to work with! Your creative vision for the evening was really perfect and everything you suggested even down to the songs you chose were so right on the money! I'm so honored to have been a part! The best is ah...
ead for you both!!
Having a band was on my non-negotiables list for our wedding - & Good Musicians Co far exceeded our expectations. Philip was so wonderful to work with - you can just tell by his demeanor that he is ready to keep the energy alive all night long. The amount of dancing at my wedding was something I've never seen before, and I am confident it is all thanks to the band. They played each song we selected for the 'special' dances, and we were simply blown away with talent among the band members. If you are contemplating booking them for your event, DO IT. There are so many details from the night that ended up not being as important as we anticipated - but the energy the band created is something I will truly cherish forever. Thank you Good Musicians CO!

Jackie!
Thank you so much for having us!! You had the most beautiful wedding weekend I think I've ever seen!! I hope you and Kevin are enjoying married life and we hope to see you guys around at the Colony especially New Year's Eve!!!!!
Look no further, this is the band to book!!
We HIGHLY recommend working with Good Musicians!! Not only were they easy to work with, but all our wedding party kept asking for their information to use for future events. They are so talented and able to read a room to ensure the music matched the taste and style of our guests.
Words cannot express how wonderful everything went and how they truly impacted the evening in such a positive way, our wedding would not have been the same without them. The execution was thoughtful and exceeded all our expectations, we cannot wait to work with them again in the future!

Nadja, thank you so much for trusting us with your entertainment! I told you before, but your ceremony was truly one of the most beautiful moments I've ever experienced and your reception really was a non-stop party! I know you and Adrien have ...
the best years ahead! Hope to see ya'll in Hawaii someday! Mahalo!
Philip Bixby went the extra mile to make our wedding amazing. He knew just what to play to keep the party going with little guidance from us. He went out of his way to learn songs to play and sing himself rather than just playing recordings. He sounded great and made it extra special. 100% pro and super talented! Thanks Philip!

Thank you Nick! You and Anna were spectacular hosts and it was an honor to be a part of your wedding! Cheers!
We loved having them at our wedding! They were not only super accommodating as to the type of music we wanted and the overall vibe, they played live during our cocktail and reception, where they interacted with the guests, and made our day even more enjoyable with excellent music and overall disposition that was simply put, outstanding!

Natalie thank you so much! Congratulations again!!!
Good Musicians recently handled all of our entertainment needs at our wedding in Bonita Springs, FL. Good Musicians handled everything from the string trio at the ceremony and cocktail party, the band at the reception, to the DJ at the afterparty. All of our entertainment went off without a hitch and our guests are still raving about the entertainment almost a month after the event (the dance floor was absolutely packed!). Philip is fantastic to work with and listened to all of our needs and requests leading up to the event. We are beyond satisfied with our experience with Good Musicians and we would HIGHLY recommend them for your future entertainment needs!

Thank you so much Emily! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day! The best is yet to come for you and Eric!
We hired Good Musicians for our wedding in key Largo they were extremely professional, excellent communication, and amazing talent. I requested multiple songs from my Spotify list to be played by the band and they did not disappoint! Even if they did not know the song they told me that they would learn it. Good Musicians definitely got the dance floor started and interacted with all of our guests. We couldn’t of pick a better band to be a part of our special day! Would definitely hire good musicians again!

Stephanie! Thank you so much for having us! You and your family and friends were some of the most genuine and fun people! We loved every minute of your reception! Congratulations to you and Rory again!
I don't think that I can put into words how awesome Philip was as our wedding DJ, singer/guitarist, entertainer, MC, etc. First off, after talking to him a few times before our wedding and after hearing from our wedding planner how great he is, I trusted him and knew I wasn't going to need to put a whole lot of work into directing him. He picked up on our style and completely blew us and our guests away with how great of an experience he helped make our wedding. Philip came with all his fancy equipment, another DJ, and he really knew our venue and other vendors well. Most of all, our guests had the time of their freaking lives. He totally made everyone get onto the dancefloor and HYPED up the crowd. We will forever remember Philip as a big part of our special day. I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism and experience as an entertainer. He was the absolute best and I hope if you're reading this review you lock him in right away for your big day or special event!

Femke, Thank you so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure being a part of your wedding! You guys were amazing to party with! Best of luck to you and Patrick!
Philip was such a highlight for our special day! Music is so important to John and I, and we knew that the songs we picked for the wedding and cocktail hour were going to really be special to us as a couple. I came to Philip with several requests and he played and sang them so beautifully. It really helped John and I be in the moment with our wedding ceremony. Philip even went along with a last minute request from me when I asked him to play a song in the middle of the ceremony. He was ready and it was a great touch. Philip is a talented and trustworthy musician you should for sure hire!
We would choose Philip Bixby over and over and over. Three months before our big wedding in Minnesota during Covid we decided to downsize and move our wedding celebration to Florida. Philip was extremely responsive, understanding, accommodating, and helpful. We were still hesitant to plan much knowing that restrictions could change and we would have to change plans again. One month before our Florida wedding, we had to change venues due to covid restrictions. Philip provided me with a list of other options and was, again, responsive, understanding, accommodating, and helpful. We chose one of Philips recommendations, and the wedding was perfect. All of our guests complimented the band and said they would consider a destination wedding solely to have our band. It was a blast. Every minute of the wedding was so much fun. I highly recommend Philip Bixby. He made planning an out of state, Covid wedding easy.

Libby! thank you so much! You guys were so much fun and it was all my pleasure!
We were delighted to have Philip Bixby play the acoustic guitar and sing during our wedding ceremony on the beach in Islamorada and all we could say was WOW! His musical talent was on point and he was extremely accommodating when it came to singing specific songs when we walked down the aisle. I highly recommend him for weddings or other events that require a live acoustic guitarist!
