Honestly, what is there not to say about this band!? They promised to keep the dance floor packed all night and did exactly that. It’s been almost two weeks since our wedding and we are still getting comments about how great the band was.
Working with Taylor and Brian was some of the most positive interactions we had throughout our planning process. From our initial interview where they got a feel for who we were and what our tastes were, to the final meeting they were always coming in excited and wanting to make our night match our tastes and personalities. Early on they gave us a clear timeline which really helped push us and keep us on track with first dance/song requests/cocktail hour vibe/etc. They also always had great suggestions any time we asked for them, and they were always tailored to our musical tastes. The final product could not have been any more perfectly matched to who we are, what we like, and how much we like to dance.
I had seen a few showcases of wedding bands prior to hiring GFA and none of them came close to what they came to our wedding with. From the first note they came out swinging as if they were playing to a 5,000 person crowd and didn’t stop for a second until we had to leave the venue.
I could not recommend this band enough, we will truly be remembering them for making the best day of our lives that much better.

Must hire! Bryan and Taylor are the consummate professionals. They are so well organized, responsive, consultative, and lovely to work with.
The band was phenomenal! Their energy and talent was far beyond our already very high expectations.
They kept the dance floor full the entire night and everyone made a point of saying how amazing they were.
If music is one of your top priorities (as it was for us), look no further. Just doesn’t get better than GFA.

My husband and I could not recommend Great Family Artists more. Book. Them. Now! They are organized, communicative, professional, friendly, extremely talented, and are excellent partners in ensuring all your musical wedding dreams come true! We hired Great Family Artists to provide music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The musicians beautifully captured the energy of each event - integrating personalized music selections in our ceremony, enlivening cocktail hour with a classy jazz trio, and truly keeping all our guests engaged and dancing all night long on the dance floor with an unbelievably talented 8-piece band. The transitions from each part of the wedding day were seamless and clearly announced by the wonderful MC, ensuring we never had to worry about what was next. Because the team at Great Family Artists worked with us months in advance to fine tune our timeline, preferences, and musical requests, by our wedding day, we were really able to just be present in the celebration of our love. Music was one of the most important things at our wedding and we are truly so thankful we got to work with Great Family Artists. If you want to leave your wedding as sweaty and as happy as we did, you’ve found your band.

As a wedding planner, Great Family Artists has been an absolute pleasure to work with! Their organization, professionalism, and attention to detail make every step of the process seamless. Jonathan is a true gem—he truly goes above and beyond to personalize the experience and immerse their team in the overall event design. Whether it’s for our clients' weddings or our own personal events, their talent and dedication shine every time. If you're looking for entertainment that is as personalized as it is exceptional, we can’t recommend Great Family Artists enough!

Great Family Artists brought the party to life and kept the dance floor going all night. We first saw them perform at our friend’s wedding and knew they were a must for ours. They exceeded our expectations in every category. Each musician/artist was exceptional and they learned a few specific songs for us and absolutely crushed it, they also play a mean Hora. Almost every guest approached us saying “That’s the best band I have ever seen at a wedding”. It honestly felt like a concert and the dance floor was flooded the entire night. The DJ hour at the end was icing on the cake. They handled everything audio wise and it was all perfect and professional. Communication was easy and they made the entire process fun and less stressful. Book this group, you will have zero regrets!

Great Family Artists is a top notch wedding band! Our wedding at the Greenpoint Loft on 9/7/24 was the fourth wedding in our circle of family and friends that GFA played at if that tells you anything about how good they are. We just can’t get enough.
My husband and I and our circle of friends are massive music fans, with a specific taste in jam band/funk/rock music. So the band for our wedding was one of the most important vendors for us. We didn’t even think twice about hiring GFA. We’ve had such a blast at every other wedding that we couldn’t wait to have the play at our wedding.
GFA really works with you to understand your music taste and the vibe of your wedding to craft a set list that is uniquely created for you. They start with a music survey and provide playlists of songs they can play for you to select from which makes getting started super easy. We had only a few meetings with GFA leading up to our wedding but each of them felt like we were chatting about music with our best friends. GFA was flexible and accommodating in learning songs that were not on their list and worked with us to let my husband sit in on a few songs with them and made him feel super comfortable. For a 9 piece band in NYC, they are very reasonable compared to some of the more popular wedding bands out there.
Day of they absolutely killed it. I don’t think I left the dance floor the entire time.The set lists flowed super well and they kept the energy high the entire time (which is what we asked for). Everyone left our wedding talking about the Band and saying how amazing our wedding was because of them. They really made our special day perfect! If you are looking for a wedding band that takes a song and makes it their own, can jam out the music, and keep the energy high, look no further. Also, they don’t make the party about them like some wedding bands I’ve seen. GFA has always been extremely professional and come to the wedding sounding and looking amazing. I mean, the lead singer wore a full on sparkly suit which matched our disco themed wedding perfectly.
Thank GFA for making so many weddings including ours so memorable. If you are on the fence, HIRE THEM!

This is the best team of people that we could ask for: musicians and artists the night of for sure, but also more than amazing at helping us coordinate the logistics, the timeline, being in three locations for ceremony and cocktail hour and reception, and just really truly kept us sane and organized as they "MC'd" our wedding before and during the event. I'd recommend over and over, and just truly love the many people that were there the night of (I believe ten in total with the sound person?) They were brilliant.

Every single member of this band was a fantastic performer who treated my wedding like a real big time Saturday night gig. They were also great to work with - organized, prepared, totally professional. They learned our songs, played the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music, and provided/set up all of the audio equipment and lights. This was a splurge for us but it was 100% worth it. Everyone had a blast and was SORE from dancing for the next few days!

The number one thing our guests tell us from our wedding was “BEST BAND EVER!” We spent the entire night on the dance floor with all of our family and friends thanks to GFA. Wedding planning can be stressful but Taylor and Bryan were a breeze to work with. They tailored our night based on our music and party preferences. They are quick to answer emails and one of the kindest vendors to work with. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to rocking out on stage- they made our night perfect. If you don’t want to spend money on chairs- ensure you book GFA becuase your guests won’t need to sit if they are performing. GFA has set the bar high for weddings. We couldn’t be happier with them.

This band is AMAZING. From the beginning of our communication together we were impressed. They were well organized with their team lead, Bryan Lipman, who promptly replied to emails, texts and calls whenever we had questions or concerns. They were accommodating and allowed us to attend an event to preview the band prior to our wedding day. We were able to discuss song choices, preferences for the flow of the day, and provide a framework that they then transformed into the best day. We haven’t stopped receiving texts from our guests that our wedding was the first that they had attended where the dance floor was never empty! They provided the energy and excitement we were looking for and were impressive from start to finish. Our day was notably improved by their presence and we will never forget the gift they gave us of the memories on the dance floor all night long. Stop your search for a band for your wedding or next event and book them now! You won’t be disappointed.

From the start, GFA communicated with us exceptionally well and made us feel really comfortable that they were our selection to perform at our wedding in Vail. At the wedding, they exceeded all of our expectations! Every member of the band was extremely talented and the band itself shared the stage perfectly together. Our guests all told us that they were the best wedding band that they had ever heard/seen. It wouldn't have been the party that it was without GFA going above and beyond to make sure everybody had the best time. My wife and I highly recommend GFA if you want a seamless, professional and extraordinary wedding band experience.

Where do I begin?! Music was the most important part for my husband and me, and after phone calls with a number of different bands, Great Family Artists was the obvious choice! They were so detail oriented and went out of their way to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. Their music selection was also so extensive, and on top of that they were even willing to learn 2-3 songs of our choosing for our big day! A friend of ours also sang 2 songs at our wedding and Great Family Artists met with him to ensure he killed it on stage! The dance floor never died down and the energy was constant and that's all thanks to Great Family Artists (I even crowd surfed)!!!

Great Family Artists brought down the house for our CO wedding! We received so many compliments during our wedding night about GFA - “the band is incredible”, “this is the best wedding music and band ever”, “the lead singer is so good” and so much more praise. They made our big day a huge party and celebration! Guests of all ages were dancing all night and the dance floor was completely packed. There were even hotel guests dancing in the hallway outside of our venue because the music was so good! They elevated all aspects of our event, from the gracefulness of the three string quartet during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, to the professionalism and energy of them MC’ing our reception, to the talent and amazing set list of the 8 person band they delivered during our reception. They also made the entire planning process easy and stress free. We worked with Taylor and Bryan to plan the music for the entire day and to ensure each aspect had the correct vibe we were looking for. GFA more than delivered, they care about their clients and want to curate the perfect day for you. I cannot recommend them enough!

Great Family Reunion is an amazing band and there is a reason why they are leading the Colorado wedding band circuit! We continually received positive feedback about them from our wedding attendees. Brian was such a great MC for the evening and we loved that working with GFR meant that we had them for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. SO easy not having to find other musicians for different parts of the night. In addition to our wedding we have seen GFR at multiple other friends’ weddings and their curated setlist has been different for all and very unique to each couple. They hit the nail on the head with ours, there was not one song we would have changed and they even learned Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas for our Holiday wedding and wore Santa hats with the guests. This band is so much fun and there is no better band to get the party started, keep the energy high, and ensure that all your guests won’t leave the dance floor. My husband and I could not recommend them more. They are a wedding must if you are looking for a band!!!

What can we say? Best wedding band of all time!! Our wedding guests could not stop.. (and two months later are STILL) talking about how incredible the band was.
From the moment we decided on Great Family Reunion, Bryan and Taylor were helpful and accommodating every step of the way. There’s no need to look any further for a band because when you hire GFR you and your guests are guaranteed to have an amazing experience. Your guests will never want to leave the dance floor! SO MUCH FUN and 5 stars doesn’t do them justice!

GFA crew has been nothing short of amazing from the very initial conversations about playing at our wedding. What stood out the most is the level of detail and dedication to us, even before the contracts were signed.
Post the contract signing - Bryan and Taylor held our hand through the entire process. We worked with them to figure out the music, determine the band composition, and most importantly - to ensure we had a flawless day. And that is exactly what happened!
The GFA Quartet + Brass made our wedding celebration spectacular and nothing short of amazing. On time, as planned, better than we could've hopped - these are the words that come to mind. We truly can't thank enough the GFA team for making our day feel like magic. Thank you!

We got married a month ago and everyone is still talking about our band. "OMG and the band was amazing!" We knew they would bring it, but we were still blown away by their energy, talent, creativity, and fun surprises. Great Family Artists were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were professional, prompt, and fun in their communication with us throughout our entire planning process and helped keep us on an organized timeline. You can tell these artists really take time to get to know their clients so they can provide the best outcome possible- and that is exactly what they did. Jonathan got us started and was so warm right from the start, bouncing ideas back and forth with us about our outdoor set up, instrument choices, and incorporating a second line. Taylor was such a fun addition to the planning process helping us choose our music, and it was evident he put great care into curating a setlist personal to us. Lastly, we worked with Bryan who was there on site the day of our wedding and he was a delight- so fun, helpful, and organized. Everything ran so smoothly and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. If you're considering booking GFA, just do it... and then invite us to the event because it'll be a guaranteed GREAT time.

Attention prospective wedding couples looking for band: you need not look any further and need to go with GFR! We were married in NYC and interviewed several band options. However, GFR immediately stood out due to the warm and kind presence of the team. The team was extremely organized and proactive throughout the process including reviewing timeline spreadsheets live, suggesting songs and playlists. We were able to create our own playlist on Spotify at our convenience and share with GFR which made it extremely convenient. Thus the process was smooth, organized and the people incredibly kind and professional. But most importantly, the day of the wedding was pure magic. The band was spectacular to the point that several guests pulled us aside and asked where we found them and more than a few said it was the best wedding band they have ever heard. We could not have asked for more and I cannot say enough great things or recommend strong enough!

I am still in shock at how amazing this band was.
After the wedding, our guests could not stop talking about how much fun they had due to the amazing energy and talent of the band. The performers were so flexible, kind, and warm. This company is very organized and works incredibly hard to ensure your event will be tailored to who you are as a couple. We primarily worked with Taylor and Bryan. Bryan is INCREDIBLE with communication and has creative ideas on the flow of the evening.
Taylor was so fun to work with and has incredible talent! He was a joy to be around and made us feel that our event was magical!
Hire them! :)

GFR is easily the best wedding band in Denver! We had the absolute best time, and could not have asked for a better band. From start to finish they provided an amazingly professional experience and helped us curate the music that ended up making our night so special. The highlight of the night was the the custom mashup they put together for the father daughter dance. We received many compliments from our guest on the entertainment and talent of the band. Highly recommend!

GFR was amazing! I am not the music person in the relationship and was 100% ok with a DJ. Boy was I wrong! The band’s sound and energy was amazing. Our wedding was the first time I didn’t see people leaving the dance floor. If you’re looking to have a band at your wedding, you have to go with GFR…and don’t skimp out, you have to get the horns! Outside of the event itself, the team at GFR was excellent in the planning and prep for the wedding. We had multiple calls leading up to the event planning out the start of the wedding, the first dance, our concluding songs, what type of music/ sound we like, etc. GFR was great from start to finish. 100% recommend!

When my wife and I were describing our ideal wedding, we aren't very traditional and just wanted to have a big party with our friends and family to celebrate. As long as our guests were having a good time, then we would be. For me, live music was a must, and was really the only thing I got entrusted with.
Taylor, Bryan, and the rest of the GFR crew was amazingly easy to deal with. Straightforward, honest, and to the point. Once we committed to them, they took all the stress out of planning the music, MC'ing, and sound for the wedding. Knowing now all the curveballs and little things leading up to the wedding day, being able to outsource all of that stuff is an amazing value in of itself.
As far as the actual music went, my expectations were high and still got blown away. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was on point - tasteful when it needed to be, and still got the hair standing up my neck during those key moments. The first dance and parent dances were amazingly true to the records, but not too long (just in case you can't dance, like me).
However, the reception sets were simply on another level. Multiple guests told us that it was the best band they'd ever seen, no qualifiers. GFR kept the energy humming from end to end, and it felt like a concert, weaving songs together with the crowd screaming for the encore.
I know I'm just a guy from the internet, but if you've gotten this far, just give them a call and check this box off your list and thank me when you're rubbing your feet and laughing about how sore your legs are from dancing at the best night of your life.

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! I could go on and on about GFR- and so can my guests!
I was initially hesitant to book a band as I've heard mixed reviews of bands verses DJs at weddings. If you are in the same boat, BOOK THIS BAND. Not only did they exceed my expectations the day of the wedding, but their communication, professionalism and organization leading up to the event was fantastic.
I cannot believe the energy they brought to the party- we had many compliments of "the best wedding they had been to" as well as a dozen people asking for more details for their own professional purposes. I lost my voice and was exhausted from dancing so hard- several times I turned around and was astounded at the talent of each musician. The lead vocalist!! The drummer singing??! The solos?!!! AMAZING.
If I have ANY event in the future I will not hesitate to book these guys again. THANK YOU GFR for helping make my wedding the best day of my life.

The Great Family Reunion was absolutely incredible, and crushed it at our wedding. They were by far one of our favorite vendors of the day. We got multiple comments from our guests that they were great. GFR was great at managing the energy on the dance floor, and every single musician was extremely talented. Three of the four musicians were also phenomenal singers. Their version of our first dance song "Honeybee" was even better than the original version. We were also impressed by the drummer singing "Kiss" by Prince. They MADE the party on the dance floor.

I wish there was option for a 6th Star because these guys deserve it! We had around 130 guests at our wedding and I heard at least 130 times how great the band was. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish they were organized, helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and most importantly extremely talented! If you don’t hire these guys, you’re taking a risk that your wedding won’t be as good as it could be!

WOW! Great Family Reunion is THE wedding band, it is the easiest decision you’ll make during the planning process. We got married on New Year’s Eve and were looking for a band that would bring the party energy and keep our guests on the dance floor until the countdown at midnight. Great Family Reunion not only met those expectations, but ended up playing a 3+ song encore because our guests (and the venue staff) could not get enough of them! Bryan and Taylor were so easy to work with during the planning. The questions they asked, the guidance they provided and the time they took to get to know us really showed with the set list they ended up putting together for our wedding. To show their breadth and talent here is a short list of artists they played: Lizzo, The Grateful Dead, Big Wild, Griz, Taylor Swift, Umphreys McGee, Spice Girls, Chris Stapleton, Ginuwine (yes, Pony). Our family and friends are still talking about how fun and talented all of the musicians were.

If you don't hire this band, you are making a HUGE mistake!!! The wedding band was in the top 3 most important things we were focused on for our wedding and GFR could not have been better. Their team leading up to the wedding was responsive, professional, and truly took all of our ideas, suggestions, and wants to heart. Our guests COULD NOT stop talking about how good they were! They even catered to me (the groom) in playing a song with them. The band was on time, on point, and literally were one of the best parts of our wedding. They were better than advertised. Do whatever you have to do to book this band, you won't be let down!

Great Family Reunion took our wedding to the next level and beyond. They were top notch throughout the entire process. Communication was amazing. Flexibility, suggestions, and collaboration on setlists and how to flow the day to your liking was deeply appreciated. The musicians, singers, lights, day of coordinators, sound engineers and everyone that brings the music and special day to life, was something that we will always appreciate and be thankful for, it was everything and more! We HIGHLY recommend Great Family Reunion no matter the event! Thanks for making our special day so INCREDIBLE!

GFR was our wedding band (& so much more!) in early October. The entire process working with Jordan, Taylor, and Bryan was awesome, they were super communicative and creative, and so accommodating! The band itself was incredible from reception to the end of the night, so many compliments from our guests, and perfect for all ages. We are so grateful and will always be fans! You will not regret hiring them, they're so much better than even the best wedding bands you have heard so far.

We utilized them for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The reception music was performed by an 8-piece band, however they have flexibility to add additional musicians/instruments.
They tailored the music to our eclectic music taste and they delivered an unforgettable night! We can’t speak highly enough about the planning process and overall execution by GFR. If you are looking for the best wedding band in South Florida, we highly recommend Great Family Reunion.

Great Family Reunion was great! We hired a 6-piece band and worked with the GFR team over about 6 months to create a set list and go over our preferences for the wedding. The band knocked it out of the park! Everyone commented on how great they sounded and brought the party. They even learned a few specific songs we requested - and nailed them!
We also appreciated how they covered sound for our whole wedding - from the ceremony, to the speeches, to the band. They brought a sound engineer who made sure everything was perfect. And it was. Would definitely recommend!

What more can I say other than this band brought the house down. We wasted money on nice chairs at our wedding because everyone was on the dance floor all night. They packed in more energy into a wedding than I’ve ever seen. If your wedding has a Hora this band brings the heat and kept everyone going for nearly 20 minutes.

If you are looking for a fantastic wedding band, do yourself a favor and hire Great Family Reunion Band! They played our wedding and absolutely crushed it! The dance floor was packed the entire time these guys were playing. I am still getting calls from friends saying how great the band was.
These guys are great musicians with incredible range. If you want to hear it chances are they can play it and play it well. I'm telling you, if these guys were a touring band, I'd pay a lot to see them.
In addition to being a top notch band, they were so pleasant to work with. You can tell that they actually care a lot about their clients.
Thanks so much, Great Family Reunion Band!

We booked Great Family Reunion's Por La Paz classical string trio for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! They performed classical versions of pop, rock, and oldies, which was incredibly fun, and also played during our ceremony. My fiancee sang in an a cappella group in college, so part of our ceremony was her friends from her old group singing along with Por La Paz as accompaniment. Por La Paz learned the song with no sweat. They are all incredibly talented musicians. It was incredibly meaningful and sounded gorgeous.
Throughout the whole process of music selection and coordination everyone we worked with at Great Family Reunion was fantastic and responsive - with special shoutout and thanks to Taylor and Bryan. I highly recommend working with Great Family Reunion and the Por La Paz classical trio to make your wedding extra special.

I cannot share enough good things about the whole band and employees at Great Family Reunion. They were the highlight of the night! Live music was one of the most important aspects that we wanted at our wedding, and we ended up with the 8 piece lineup that included horns and a full percussion section, as well as Por La Paz for our ceremony & cocktail hour. When I was told, “Ashley, this is your music festival - you’ll get whatever mix of styles you want!”, I knew it was the right fit. The preparation for the event was so detail oriented, and the level of musicianship on the stage was incredible. EVERYONE was on the dance floor and raved about them afterwards.

There are really no words to describe GFR and how awesome they are. We started planning our wedding two years ago (Covid) and quickly fell in love with Jonathan’s style and professionalism.
Over time, we have gotten to know more members of the GFR family (Bryan, Taylor, Liv etc.) and they have all been equally as helpful, talented and charismatic! They helped us with an unconventional first dance song without hesitation, included family members in their performance, and brought so much energy and love to our reception.
1/2 of our night was spent fielding questions from our guests … “who is this band?!”
We absolutely recommend GFR for everyone. They really know how to take your vision and make it all you wanted and more.

Truly cannot say enough great things about Great Family Reunion. They put on an incredible show that people are still talking about a month later. It is such a great great feeling to walk through your reception and hear everyone talking about how awesome the band is. Taylor and Bryan were incredible to work with. It is very easy to get in touch and schedule calls with them, and their enthusiasm in the lead up to the wedding really helped get us excited and not just stressed. During one of our first calls with them I mentioned a couple songs that I really liked from John Mayer and expressed that I didn't think they would make good wedding reception songs. To my surprise they had noted what I had said and found a way to make one of them work and it was one of the best parts of the night for me. Do yourself and your guests a favor and book this band.

WOW! BEST BAND EVER!! Great Family Reunion was everything we hoped for and more! The planning process was so effortless thanks to Bryan and Taylor! When we got engaged, the one thing we really wanted was an awesome band and GFR did not disappoint! They were so easy and flexible to work with and accommodated to every we wanted. Our formal dances were so perfect and the entire night our crowd was on the dancefloor. Everyone at our wedding is still raving about how amazing this band way! I would recommend GFR to ANYONE! They are absolutely amazing! I did not want them to stop playing and I wish we could relive this day!!

wow wow wow wow. This is the best wedding band ever. Everything was completely custom and they knocked everyone's socks off. My husband and I were looking for a band that could play Grateful Dead & Phish jams, but most importantly keep EVERYONE on the dancefloor - and they did just that. We still have friends, grandmas, and even our OTHER vendors asking us who our wedding band was, because they were just THAT good. The planning process with GFRB was so fun and easy, every person we met with was professional, knowledgeable, and just really cool people!! If you're looking for an epic party totally customized to your music taste, hire GFRB!

Simply put, GFR was a HUGE reason why our wedding was so fantastic. Every member of the band was so good and they brought an incredible energy to our reception. Whether it was fantastic vocals, the wild horn solos or just the general vibe, GFR exceeded our expectations (which were high to begin with!!). The dance floor was packed the entire night and the flow of the setlist was perfect and the right mix of exactly what we were looking for. I cannot recommend them any higher, they are a crazy good value for the unbelievable experience you receive. If you are a smart person you will book GFR for your wedding.

I can't say enough good things about GFR!! Our family and friends raved about this band and so many people said it was the best wedding band they've ever heard. Our dance floor was packed all night. They also learned songs for our ceremony and first dance and played them perfectly. Book them now, you won't regret it!

The entire GFR team was both incredibly fun and easy to work with on our wedding. Would fully recommend! We worked with Jonathan to plan the music for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He is essentially a musical (and adminstritive) sherpa... expertly guiding us to exactly the vibe we were looking for. The entire process was seamless and even mundane tasks like billing etc were professionally managed and the team had very clear communication. Most importantly, my fiance and I wanted a PARTY and the GFR band absolutely delivered. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, the muscians were all extremely talented and the setlist was perfectly curated for for the mood. Thanks team!

I wish I could give GFR six stars! The band was absolutely incredible and had everyone dancing all night. I would insist that anyone getting married book GFR, as they made our wedding truly unforgettable. Also, Bryan and the rest of the GFR management team made the planning process leading up to the wedding seamless and easy, and we always came away feeling confident that they were going deliver the rocking concert that we were looking for. Thanks again!

GFR was absolutely incredible. They made the whole planning process super easy. As big dead and phish heads we wanted to incorporate jam music into our wedding while still getting everyone on the dance floor with some classics. They took our recommendations to heart and tailored an unreal experience that didn't alienate anyone. The duet for the ceremony was beautiful, the Trio was awesome for our cocktail hour and the full 8 piece band just killed it for the reception! We didn't want it to end. Thank you Taylor, Bryan and Jonathan for truly making our wedding one to remember.

My guests are STILL talking about how incredible Great Family Reunion band was during our wedding. The dance floor was lit up all night long and they played the best motown bangers to keep the crowd going. I cannot recommend GFR ENOUGH! Not only are their musicians incredible, but working with them prior to the wedding day was seamless -- they were responsive, professional, and fun. Not only that, but they even let our friend join the stage during our wedding to sing Prince's song "1999". 5/5 stars!

Look no further than Great Family Reunion for your wedding!! From start to finish, GFR was absolutely INCREDIBLE! During the planning process, the team was extremely helpful and responsive. My husband and I knew we wanted an awesome band with a packed dance floor all night, but that was about the extent of what we knew. Jonathan was able to guide us through the process of timeline set up, song selections, and other logistics. He was SO friendly, easy to talk to, and knowledgable. GFR was always on top of everything during the planning phase, including reaching out to all of the other vendors to coordinate everything that went into the wedding night. We also had some special requests for our first dance song & parent dances, and the GFR team sent us several different cuts to choose from. On the night of the wedding, they delivered far beyond what we could have ever dreamed of. They kept the party going all night long, their energy was electric, and they were just plain awesome. Every guest was raving about how great the band was. At the end of the night, our guests were chanting "One More Song!!" We did not want the party to end thanks to GFR. Seriously - book them for your wedding!

We cannot recommend GFR enough! They were top notch performers and took our rough idea for song choices and turned it into a coherent stream of bangers. They kept the dance floor full from the second they went on until the end of the night. GFR was also incredibly organized and made our lives that much easier as we planned everything else. We would give them 10 stars if we could.

I would 100% recommend GFR for any event in the future.

We had really high hopes that Great Family Reunion Band would turn our wedding reception into a party... And they totally exceeded our expectations in every way.
I can't tell you how many people at our wedding approached my wife and I to ask about the band and rave that it was the best wedding band they have ever seen.
This team of talented musicians handled music for every aspect of our wedding, from a two-piece acoustic set at our ceremony, to a three-piece instrumental group for cocktail hour, and finally a five-piece band for the reception. The band covered genres from pop and R&B to rock and even jam band music.
Besides the sheer musical talent of the band members, what impressed us most was the song choices. They clearly took the time to research the music that we love based on our initial phone calls and emails.
With that said, the communication leading up to our wedding was incredibly professional by their band manager, Bryan. He asked all the right questions to determine what type of music we enjoyed and what vibe we wanted to create.
Overall - Regardless of your musical taste, GFRB will guarantee an amazing event for you!

These guys are professionals, and if you hire them, you and your guests are guaranteed to have an amazing time. You want a great band for your wedding because they will have a huge impact on your wedding day, and GFR goes above and beyond to deliver.
First off, GFR has incredibly talented musicians. The musicians have a large repertoire of music that they play from which spans any genre you'd want, they're able to take special song requests that they'll learn and arrange, and probably most important of all, they're a tight band and sound great.
Second, working with Jonathan was fantastic. He made the whole process easy without sacrificing attention to detail. He's organized, friendly, can read the room, and is a great MC. My wife and I had a lot of questions throughout the planning stages, and he always had a great attitude and was there to help. He's prepared for anything.
Third, the rest of the GFR team is great. They're there so you don't have to get in the weeds on things like logistics, coordinating with the venue, curating every song on the setlists, etc. They handle all that so you can focus on the big picture and let the professionals take care of everything else. Between Jonathan and his team, you'll be in great hands.
From start to finish, whatever band you hire will help tell the story of your wedding. They'll set the tone leading up to the ceremony. They'll get people comfortable during cocktail hour. They'll set the pace for the dance sets during the reception. They'll play one of the biggest parts of the day, and GFR will do an exceptional job at all of that and more, with ease. They will match your vision of your wedding if you have one, and they'll help you figure out what that vision is if you don't. You and your guests will have the time of your lives with GFR. Highly recommended!

There aren’t enough stars to give this band justice. We had a call with Jonathan to learn more about the band and he laid out a vision with our feedback that sold us right away. After booking them Brian and Taylor executed the plan and music choices reducing our stress level considerably. During the wedding, the sound was great for the ceremony. The band then killed it at the reception no one wanted to leave the dance floor at the end of the night. If you’re debating wedding bands in the Denver area, don’t think twice, book great family reunion!

I can't even begin to explain how amazing Great Family Reunion was! We got married end of June at a ranch in Colorado Springs and they fit our vibe perfectly. It was honestly like being at a concert and our dance floor was packed all night! They completely made the wedding. All we heard about from our guests after was "that band was the best we've ever seen!!" You can't go wrong with this crew. They will do everything you ask and are able to take the ideas you want for music and bring it to life perfectly. BOOK THEM!! Worth every penny!!! -Kelly & Derek

Hiring Great Family Reunion was the best decision we made related to our wedding. They were amazing to work with throughout the entire process and absolutely crushed it on the wedding night. They nailed all of our specific song requests, played exactly the types of songs we said we were hoping for and they had amazing energy the entire night! Many of our guests said it was the best wedding band they had ever seen and guests at the wedding of all ages stayed until the very end of their set! (~midnight). Do not look any further, hire this band!
