We had Griffin and the Gargoyles play at our wedding in October and they were fabulous! Contemporary Productions made the pre-planning as easy as possible and the band kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Would highly recommend!
Griffin and the Garboyles are the BEST wedding band. They played at both of my sisters' weddings and we brought them back for ours! They read the room so well, keep things moving, and sound amazing. We added horns and an extra female vocalist a...

wn with Griff to talk about the night we had planned and his suggestions were spot on and he completely catered to our other music requests. They were so easy to work with! What we love about this band and that they know how to read a crowd and adjust in order to keep guests on the dance floor. When we ask guests about the night, they always comment on how much they loved the band and how it was one of the best bands they've ever danced to at weddings! We could have not imagined the day without any other band and we promised you won't be disappointed. Many thanks to Griffin and the Gargoyles!!!
We got married this past June and working with Contemporary Productions and having Griffin and the Gargoyles there on our big day to take care of us was truly amazing! We can't thank them enough for being so easy going and willing to do whateve...

Thank you so much Contemporary Productions / Griffin and the Gargoyles for making our Wedding Day unforgetable!
Griffin and the Gargoyles made our wedding! Hiring Griffin and the Gargoyles was a no-brainer for me and my husband. We have seen them at other weddings, also performing around St. Louis. We knew we had to get them right away! We receive...
d so many compliments on having the band perform at our wedding and after the wedding people are still telling us how awesome they were.
The music was high energy and Griffin kept the dance floor full all night. They were so accommodating the I asked for them to learn a special song to dance with my dad. WE loved every second of our wedding and Griffin and the Gargoyles made our night spectacular! If you want a full dance floor all night and tons of happy guests them BOOK THEM NOW! They are simply THE BEST BAND IN ST. LOUIS!
"The dance floor was literally thumping all night long". This reaction is from a friend of mine regarding our wedding reception. We were told from A LOT of our guests that this was the best reception they have ever gone to. Griffin and the Garg...
oyles are the absolute best band-do not think about choosing anyone else. We had guests from age 6 to 80 and everyone in between and the music choices pleased everybody! Our 'must have' list of songs were played and the band members are genuinely nice people. The production company you go through to book is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend! We could have partied all night-the dance floor was never empty!
this is the band to get.
Best band ever!
They made our night.
Well first off, they are the best band. Their ability to play all types of music is awesome and they had everyone on the dance floor. It was crazy!!! And thank you for letting our new grandson up on stage to play the electric piano, it looked ...
like a guitar. He couldn't believe he got to do that and was losing his mind. Nicely done Griffin & the Gargoyles, nicely done!!!!! Wanna do it all over again.
Many thanks
Where do we begin!!! From the moment they started playing until the last song they had the dance floor packed. They can play all types of songs perfectly, so many compliments! Griffin & Gargoyles rock, literally!!!!!!! They had my stepson on ...
stage who is 8 playing the electric guitar, he was beside himself. Thank you Griffin you made our reception beyond perfect.
Griffin and the Gargoyles was everything we could have ever hoped for. Countless guests asked us for the band's information after the wedding, and nobody wanted to the leave the dance floor. The band was easy to work with, accommodated every re...
quest, and read our crowd incredibly well. They brought an unparalleled energy to our wedding, and we would choose them again in a second.
THE BEST IN ST. LOUIS!! Very energetic, great selection of songs, kept everyone dancing all night!
Griffin was amazing! The guests loved the music and everyone was dancing until the end. I highly recommend this band! They are easy to work with, experienced and really added to the atmosphere of the wedding.
Griffin and the Gargoyles know how to keep get the party started and keep it going all night. Griffin and his assistants were really great to work with. We had the best time at our wedding and our guests were dancing the night away till the ver...
y end. We highly recommend this great group. We had Griffin's pianist play our ceremony music as well and he rocked it!
Griffin & The Gargoyles were AMAZING to say the least! They were a delight to work with from start to finish. The band had the dance floor filled the entire night. People, all ages, were dancing and having a ball all night long. They truly know...
how to work the crowd and keep people engaged. Not to mention, they are incredibly talented. We ended up adding the female vocalist last minute and we're thrilled we did because she was amazing. We would highly recommend Griffin and The Gargoyles to any and everyone. We got numerous compliments on the band, and people telling us it was the best wedding band they've ever heard!
They were absolutely amazing and accommodating! We wanted the best wedding band and we definitely had them. Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable!
Griffin & the Gargoyles is legit the best wedding band I have ever heard...and I have attended a lot of weddings. Griffin was so accommodating with us, as we were an out of town bride and groom. He met with us prior to our wedding right before ...
going out of town to get a feel for our personalities. Griffin understood what type of music we wanted to hear on our wedding night and played a great mix of songs that was perfect for wedding guests! My husband and I even got to go on stage and belt out a classic Journey song. We HIGHLY recommend Griffin for a band! The guests will walk away thinking #toolegittoquit
This band MADE our wedding. The dance floor was PACKED non-stop. They were very flexible and easy to work with. They are work every penny!
Griffin was great to work with and kept our guests on the dance floor ALL night! We received SO many compliments on our band! They truly led the event, facilitated the flow, and ensured everyone had a blast. Our uncle loved them so much that h...
e went up to them and offered to pay them $1000 for another hour.
We were lucky to book Griffin and the Gargoyles without ever even hearing them. They came highly recommended and the thing we cared most about at our wedding was music and dancing. They could not have been any easier to work with and were ver...
y accomadating of our choices. They were excellent at our wedding and many of our out of town guests even said they were the best wedding band they had ever heard.
We had Griffin at our wedding in October. They are a fantastic Band. I knew planning my wedding I had to have them. They played at my sisters wedding 5 years ago, at another friends wedding 4 years ago, and each time, they were amazing. They ar...
e pretty expensive, it used to be less, but since they are so popular, the price has increased. But they were so amazing that it's worth it to splurge on this. Contemporary Productions was the company I worked with to book them. Bradley was really nice and helpful. It was frustrating that we payed quite a lot for booking the band, that if they did not know a song, it would cost a lot of money for them to learn it. So we did not have a lot of choices for the Bride and Groom, father daughter, and mother son dances. When they did play though, they sounded amazing and really get the crowd involved.
We had Griffin and the Gargoyles play at our daughter's wedding September 19th and couldn't have been happier with the sound, songs, excitement, fun, and crowd on the dance floor! Our guests had a fabulous time and owe it to G&G for putting o...
n such a wonderful show and knack for getting everyone on their feet. All my daughter's dreams came true; she said weddings are more fun with a great band...and we feel we had the best!! Worth. Every. Single. Penny.
Griffin & the Gargoyles were slightly out of our initial music budget, but I am so glad we splurged! They were outstanding, our guests were raving about them all night, and they created such a fabulous atmosphere from playing standards during d...
inner (which packed the dancefloor between bites) and fun dance music all night long. I would definitely recommend them, even if it's a splurge!
I booked Griffin and the Gargoyles for our daughter's wedding and had never heard them perform. I had read so many good things about them, however, that I knew we were in for a treat. They were simply amazing! They played Rat Pack-type music du...
ring dinner and then switched over to contemporary music and it was nothing short of amazing! The dance floor was filled all night long! Over and over we heard raves about them. We were so pleased with everything about this terrific band. They book up quickly, so don't delay if you know your wedding date and know you want a band that your guests will be talking about for ages to come!

Don't really have to say much, but that these guys are the best. They are very professional, play an amazingly wide variety of music, and get your whole wedding on the dance floor. I can not recommend them highly enough, like I said, they are...
just simply the best.
Griffin and the Gargoyles recently played my wedding and kept the crowd dancing all night! They know a great variety of music and are all talented musicians. They even let my husband play drums with them!
We first heard Griffin & the Gargoyles at Café O at the Chase. We were so impressed with how they engaged the the people on the dance floor for the entire evening!!! We have used Griffin for 2 of our daughters weddings and have booked them for...
a 3rd wedding next summer. We feel they are part of our family! We LOVE,LOVE,LOVE them!! They are incredible musicians, singers, etc. and interact so well with guests out on the dance floor. Our guests of all ages were out on the dance floor until the end of the evening and are still talking about how much they enjoyed them. We can't wait to dance the night away again with them next summer!
When I ask my friends if they had fun at our wedding, they all say the same thing, "The band was AWESOME!" And it's true. G&G totally made a rockin' reception. Our guests were on the floor from 7 pm until 10:45 pm because the hits just kept o...
n on coming. And not only that, but they were also extremely customer-focused. They learned our first song (in just a week because it was advertised as something they played on their website and I was disappointed they didn't know it anymore), and made all the traditional wedding activities like bouquet and garter toss super fun. You will not regret hiring this band - they are amazing!
Griffin and the Gargoyles played at my daughter's wedding on 10/12/13. They were fabulous! They definitely know how to read a crowd. The dance floor was full from the first dance to the last. The guests had a great time, and the smile on my...
daughter's face as she was dancing was priceless. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Griffin and the Gargoyles are absolutely amazing! Professional, fun, and most importantly great musicians! If you are having a wedding in St. Louis and they are available, book them. They will not disappoint!

We found Griffin and the Gargoyles via their website as we were planning our wedding in St. Louis from Seattle. We actually crossed our fingers and booked the seven piece band prior to us seeing them perform live (we were able to get to St. Lo...
uis and see them live prior to the wedding). We couldn't have been more pleased with their actual performance during the reception! I think I only left the dance floor for one song (as the bride)! Griffin coordinated with us prior to the reception to find out which songs we loved and which to avoid. Our first dance song they played was AMAZING! (Sister Hazel - This Kind of Love). The dance floor was always full and their song versatility (country, rap, 80's rock, etc.) is second to none. We would 100% recommend them to any bride/groom planning their wedding.
I would highly recommend! The band kept the crowd dancing literally the entire night. Of our entire wedding, our band by far received the most compliments. Could not have been more pleased how they turned out!
Griffin was everything we could have hoped for. I highly recommend them. My only regret was not confirming punctuation for names at the introduction.
My father said they are well worthy every penny.
Griffin & the Gargoyles had our guests talking about our wedding for months afterwards!!! They really rocked it while catering to a lot of different tastes. The grandparents and older guests danced as much as the 20 somethings. Besides being...
such AWESOME entertainment they were so great to work with during the planning process, coordinating first dance songs and such. I've even had multiple couples consider this band for their upcoming weddings because they were that impressed at our wedding. BRAVO!
We had Griffin and the Gargoyles travel to Chester, IL to play at our wedding. They were outstanding. Everyone in town is still talking about how great they were and how much fun they had at the wedding. I would definitely recommend this band...
!
Coordination was not very easy, and they didn't play many of the "must play" list, and ended up playing some of the "do not play" list. Was happy with how they sounded and how they kept the guests dancing.

The best ever!!!! Totally recommend...they are worth every penny! Our dance floor was so crowded ALL night long!
We hired this band to play at our wedding in July. They were great-draw a big crowd on the dance floor. However, getting ahold of them is the problem; it took about 2 weeks to reach them after I had signed my contract and gave a down payment. G...
riffin wanted to go over details the morning of my wedding, which absolutely didnt work for me! If you can pin them down, they are worth the stress!
