We had the pleasure of having GSD perform during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were absolutely fantastic. From the planning process through the day of the event,...
the team was professional, responsive, and a joy to work with.
The music was beautiful and helped create exactly the atmosphere we envisioned for our wedding. We've received so many compliments from our guests, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Highly recommend GSD for any special event!

We cannot sing GSD’s praises loud enough! From the moment we started working Greg through the end of our event we were consistently blown away by the ease and quality of GSD’s serv...
ices. A packed dance floor was the number one priority for our wedding and Greg delivered a 3 hour, multi-generational dance floor that was packed the entire time. Literally packed. We were tired of hearing the same songs at every wedding we attended so we wanted to make sure we found a band that could play the music we liked while still keeping all guests involved. Greg tailored our band to satisfy everything we asked (and then went above and beyond!) Months later we still hear from our guests how amazing the band was. Even our wedding planner was blown away with how easy GSD was to work with on all backend stuff. We could write an entire essay on why GSD is the best band to book!!!!! 100/10!!

We hired GSD Music Services to play a live jazz trio for a cocktail hour benefit. GSD Music Services went over and above any expectation we had and curated an incredible night of m...
usic. We let them know the demographics and event type and they took it from there, fully delivering a memorable performance that the crowd couldn't get enough of. GSD Music Services knew exactly what to bring and how and where to set up so we didn't have to manage the logistics throughout the event. They are incredibly talented musicians and absolute professionals. I would recommend GSD Music Services to anyone -- they are at the top of their music game, very knowledgeable about performing for live events, and their pricing is extremely reasonable. I can't wait to hire them again.

My wife is a huge fan of music so I wanted to do something special for her 50th birthday party. I found GSD through a friend of a friend that had used them and they knocked it out ...
of the park! We wanted to do something more subdued for the dinner portion and then bring the energy up after dinner and Greg put together a group of players that were beyond qualified. They played beautiful jazz while we were eating and then slowly brought the energy up with some classic oldies songs that we all knew and sang along to, and eventually even got all of us dancing to Motown classics—my wife's favorite :) Everybody was blown away and the music added so much to a very special night. Thank you Greg and GSD Music!

I have hired GSD Music Services twice now for company functions and will definitely use them again in the future. The first time we had a solo pianist playing holiday jazz and the ...
next year we hired a quartet with a fantastic vocalist. Greg always makes the process easy, answers questions before I even know to ask them, and the caliber of the musicians is always truly top notch. We have several musicians working at our company and they are always excited to hear the groups and ask the musicians questions on their breaks :) I highly recommend GSD if you need live music for your events!

I found GSD Music Services through Instagram and was looking for a salsa band for a dinner party we were having at my house. Greg, the owner of the company, provided an incredible ...
group for us (I believe it was a quartet), that played beautifully and also at a great volume so that we could all talk easily and enjoy dinner, and then after dinner they got everybody dancing until the end of the night. It was EXACTLY what I wanted! Thank you GSD Music! Incredible!
