Stop your search, because you’ve just found the BEST wedding band in Austin. And it’s not close. Throughout the planning process, I was adamant that the band is the most impactful element to creating a memorable reception for our guests, and Matchmaker delivered beyond our wildest expectations! From communication and planning, to adapting to our needs with music choices and late changes, to keeping our guests on the dance floor ALL NIGHT long, I cannot recommend them enough. I had guests all night coming up to me saying how incredible they were, and their music selections were absolutely perfect for the energy we wanted to create on the dance floor. They also performed our first dance song live (All of Me), and it was even more special than the original recording could have been!
Matchmaker Band is THE wedding band for you. Look no further!
Matchmaker Band added so much to our wedding night! All our guests were delighted by the performance. They were easy to work with and responsive leading up to the wedding. We're so glad we booked them!
Matchmaker played at my son’s wedding in Austin, TX in 2023 and we were blown away! By far the best band we had EVER heard at a wedding. They have multiple singers (both male and female) so they can cover such a wide variety of songs and really know how to work the crowd and keep the party going. We enjoyed them so much in 2023, that we had to hire them for my wedding celebration in 2024! They were just as amazing and really made our night special. I would definitely recommend you hire them! You won’t regret it!
Any questions?
We had the Matchmaker Wedding Band perform at our wedding reception at the Austin Country Club, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From the moment they started playing, they had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away. Their energy and talent were infectious, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that truly made our special day even more magical.
The band's versatility was impressive, effortlessly covering a wide range of genres that appealed to all our guests. Whether it was a classic love song or a modern hit, they performed each piece with incredible skill and passion. Their seamless transitions and ability to read the crowd ensured that the dance floor was always packed.
The Matchmaker Wedding Band was also a dream to work with. They were professional, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our event perfect. They took the time to understand our preferences and delivered a performance that exceeded all our expectations.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band and how much fun they had. We are so grateful to the Matchmaker Wedding Band for providing the soundtrack to our perfect night. If you're looking for a wedding band that will make your reception unforgettable, look no further. They are simply the best!
Thank you, Matchmaker Wedding Band, for an incredible evening!
Our wedding was an absolute smashing success, and we owe a huge part of that to The Matchmaker Band. They went above and beyond by learning our First Dance song—even though it was previously unfamiliar to them—and performed it with amazing musical craftsmanship. It sounded just like the original recording!
Each member of the band is a fabulous entertainer. The way they engaged our guests and encouraged them to P-A-R-T-Y was second to none. Their energy and charisma were contagious, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
In my opinion, The Matchmaker Band is hands down the best event band in Texas. My advice to anyone planning an event: do NOT scrimp on the band. It truly makes all the difference. Everyone who attended our wedding has been raving about how it was the best wedding they have EVER attended. Long after the food and cake are forgotten, our guests will remember the incredible performance by The Matchmaker Band—probably for years to come!
Thank you, Moontower Entertainment and The Matchmaker Band, for making our wedding day extraordinary!
amazing performance by matchmaker. Easily the best investment for our wedding. I had all our guests tell me it was the best wedding band they have ever heard.
Matchmaker was extremely professional and provided outstanding music for our wedding event. Throughout the planning they were responsive and flexible, allowing us to make many changes as the plan evolved.
From the first chord through to the last rambunctious song of the evening, the music and musicians exceeded expectations, and the sound technician was excellent to work with.
A wonderful and unanticipated maneuver was a SEAMLESS transition between Gone to Texas country band, and Matchmaker. It kept the energy high and the dance-floor overflowing. We were afraid of losing guests during transitions, but they were so smooth that we didn’t lose one.
Despite rain at our event everyone involved played and performed in a very professional manner. Our high expectations were not only met, but exceeded!
Fabulous from first contact to end of night! They also played at my older son’s wedding 5 years ago. Professional, great sound, entertaining, easy to work with. Highly recommend for any occassion!
We spent about a year telling all of our friends and family how good Matchmaker was and how excited we were for them, and they did NOT disappoint on the big day. They are truly so talented and know how to get and keep people on the dance floor the whole night. They bring so much energy to the room and know how to engage the crowd and I can't count how many people kept telling us how good the band was. My uncle said "Whatever you paid that band, it wasn't enough". They were a key part of making our wedding a party and we were so thrilled to have them for our day. You will have absolutely no regrets hiring Matchmaker!
There wasn’t a guest I spoke to who did not say - that was the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. You guys put together the best celebration and they were a highlight. Lived up to all top ratings and reviews. My family wants to find their rehearsal spot and company wants them for Christmas party. If you have Ma Maison as the venue, it was like a perfect private concert.
The PDA/Matchmaker Band is outstanding. They were the easiest part of our wedding planning, the most value for our money, and the part of our wedding that our entire family and friends keep raving about, even after the wedding. They all have complete star power. They asked the bare minimum of questions (a very key factor when there is so much to think about and plan), yet they over-delivered a full concert for our wedding. Coordinated dance moves with amazing engagement. They are a diverse group and have fun takes on all the different songs. They were awesome. They took every bit of our top playlist, and the bottom "don't play" and mixed in songs that we couldn't have begun to ask for but definitely wanted. Our family plans on finding them at any other event/ gig that we can in the future.
This group and band is amazing!! We hired Matchmaker to play at our wedding after listening to them at another venue in town. They are so talented and professional - and they have their performance down to a science. You will love it and your guests will love it. Its worth going to one of their shows - you only need to see them once to understand how and why they are so good.
I also want to call out that they are equally as organized and professional in the background. As anyone planning a wedding or an event learns, communication is important. The Moontower team is phenomenal to work with and made our lives super easy.
If the band/music is important to you. I would recommend Moontower and Matchmaker 100%
I cannot recommend Matchmaker Band enough!!! They absolutely KILLED IT at our wedding and our guests still have not stopped raving about them! They really made our day so much more special and fun. BOOK THEM! You absolutely will not regret it.
Matchmaker made the night! They brought the energy throughout the evening and our guests have raved how many talented singers they had. They took our recommendations and learned one of our favorite songs to play!
PDA band was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I would rate 10 stars if I could. I knew the second I watched their preview video that this would be a fun band that would keep everyone on the dance floor. Then, I read their reviews and everyone was RAVING about how fun they were.
PDA was everything I had hoped!! The entire dance floor was filled the full night and overflowing with people. We got so much feedback from guests that they have never seen a dance floor that packed for the entire reception.
PDA is so engaging, high energy, and has the best choreography. It was one of my top priorities to have the reception be a total party, so band was high on my list. It was single handedly probably my best decision to book PDA. If you are thinking about booking PDA, DO IT. You and your guests will have the time of your life and your guests will rave about how fun the dance floor was!
Had Matchmaker Band play at my wedding and they were phenomenal! Couldn’t have asked for a better performance. The energy, skill, stage presence, everything was top notch. I’ve had numerous people ask about them afterwards.
They play every week at a local bar, so if you are on the edge go check them out in person.
I dealt with Amos and he was very responsive and helpful
Matchmaker was AMAZING! They kept the dance floor packed and every guest commented on how great they were. Our reception was a blast because of them. 10/10 recommend Matchmaker!
PDA were the perfect band for our wedding day and we can't recommend them enough!
For starters - the communication from the beginning was excellent. The different options they offer were clear and we had no problem selecting exactly what we wanted. From there, they got a sense of our taste by asking for "must play" and "absolutely do not play" songs to use as a starting point to craft their setlist.
Day of they were professional, punctual, and really set the tone for what was an unforgettable evening.
Our friends were dancing on their chairs before dinner had even ended. It's been a month and a half and they're still talking about how great the band was at our wedding.
If you are looking for a high energy reception, this is the band you want to hire! I was very pleased with my experience and my guests were very impressed with the level of entertainment provided. This band kept everyone dancing until the end of the night. We also had great customer service up until the day of the wedding. Would definitely hire again!
Absolutely amazing- made our whole wedding. So much fun , they're incredible and interactive. Everyone is still talking about how amazing the band was.
I cannot begin to put into words how amazing this band is. One of the few things we knew from the beginning of our wedding planning process was that if we could pull of a live band, that is what we wanted. We love to dance and our friends/family have always loved a good party. Matchmaker band did the most amazing job keeping everyone entertained and up and dancing all night!!
I dreaded the idea of music selection but they made it so simple with a list of loves and a list of avoids. This took so much stress off of us and they did such a great job picking songs that matched the vibe we told them we were going for and the songs that we provided on our "Love it" list. They also read the room perfectly and did a great job of matching the vibe of the moment.
Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they are very talented entertainers. The singers had matching dance moves and even came out onto the dance floor to interact with people and get everyone hyped up. The number one compliment we got after our wedding was how amazing our band was, and we have had multiple people ask for their information for future weddings/events. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS BAND AGAIN. They are truly amazing and worth every penny you invest if you're looking to have great music for entertainment and dancing.

Matchmaker Band was our wedding band this past weekend! Not only are they incredibly talented, they also really bring the party. They were really interactive with our group and were super fun. Everyone commented on how great they were! 10/10 recommend!!
Matchmaker was incredible to work with and truly the most talked about aspect of our wedding. They had the BEST energy throughout the night and knew exactly what guests wanted to hear. I can't recommend them enough. Plus, it was so easy to work with them throughout the planning process - they were responsive, timely, and easygoing. 10/10 recommend them!
Matchmaker did everything to make this the most amazing day for us. first of all the sign up process is super streamlined and was easy to add on more products like a string trio. Amos, Drew and Olivia were so responsive about any questions and requests.
Next was the music selection which they give you a list and you pick 10 must plays and 10 do not plays, and they take that and run with it to create the perfect playlist. we also provided first dance, mother son and father daughter dances along with any other details we felt like including like a special request for an intro song.
the day of was seamless and they came in and set everything up. our main hope was that everyone would be out on the dance floor by the end of the night and that was certainly the case with match maker playing. They started off the dinner set playing some great motown classics to ease into the night and with each set they started to play more and more songs to get people moving and shaking. Ultimately reaching a crescendo toward the end of the night with everyone screaming Backstreets back at the top of there lungs (the crowd was mostly 80's and 90's babies). they were so attentive, interactive with the crowd and really just knew what was needed for everyone to have a blast. Highlights: they pulled us up on stage(not planned) to sing one of our requested songs(you don't have to go up there if you don't want, but we were all about it), the soul train dance line that one of the singers initiated. Proud Mary being played where everyone was in a full on dance circle.
couldn't recommend them more!
We’ve seen PDA perform at local bars in the past and they’re always great but wow, they took it to another level for our wedding. It was 90+ degrees and people were hot but every single person at our wedding was on the dance floor all night long! The number one compliment we received from our guests the next morning was that the band was the BEST wedding band they’ve ever seen.
We had the Matchmaker band for our wedding in July and they absolutely killed it. Leading up to the day, Amos, Drew, and team were consummate professionals answering all our emails and being available to us when we wanted to talk things over on the phone. We even asked for a special tribute song before dinner and they did an incredible job. Finally the actual set - Their energy and talent was absolutely off the charts. Can't thank them enough for the incredible evening which could not have been possible without them!
Extremely communicative, easy to work with, listened to all our requests, played awesome music & had everyone on the dance floor all night!
My daughter wanted her wedding to be a big party. I cannot imagine any band making this happen more than Matchmaker band. They had everyone of all ages on the floor dancing and singing all night long. They are each so talented. They bring the whole package with them, even lights. I highly recommend them .

Thank you so much, Dale! We had such a great time!! What a special day :) Thank you so much for including us!!
PDA was absolutely phenomenal. They were the stars of the wedding!! Very professional and FUN!
Amos and the rest of the staff for the matchmaker band were AMAZING to work with. The band was extremely supportive of all of our requests and everyone at our wedding could not stop telling us how much they loved the band!
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2023
We love to hear this!! We had such a great time!! Thank you so much for giving us the honor of being a part :) CONGRATULATIONS!!
The Matchmaker Band was so easy to work with and they did an AMAZING job at our wedding! We have gotten so much great feedback from our guests about the band! They adjusted their song list to fit our preferences and used our playlist to DJ from during the band breaks. The band noticed that our guests enjoyed certain songs during the reception and changed their song list as the night continued to keep people on the dance floor. They really know how to keep the party going and how to pump people up. 100% recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2023
Keeping the party going and the dance floor full is one of the things we value most about our jobs :). We LOVED getting to be a part of your day! Thank you for including us in something so special! Congratulations again!!
Best band ! Everyone danced the night away! No one was sitting ! Excellent band !!
I couldn't say enough good things about PDA and Moontower entertainment. All of our guests were raving about them all night. They truly made our wedding day so special! Not only are they talented but also professional, Amos, Olivia, and the entire team were on top of the planning aspect and were super helpful. My now husband and I could not have imagined a more perfect band!! Thank you again!
Absolutely incredible. Cannot say enough about them. All of my guests were raving. I would hire them 10x over!
There are no words to describe how incredibly perfect our experience was with Matchmaker Band for our wedding day in Horseshoe Bay! The communication leading up to the event was amazing, they catered to our song list flawlessly, and delivered a performance unlike any other. They even let the father of the bride, who plays bass guitar, perform with the band for a song! The dance floor was absolutely buzzing all night long and our friends and family continue to talk about how this is the best wedding band they’ve ever seen! And those vocals? UNREAL!!! Thank you Matchmaker for being such an important part of the best day our lives!
PDA Band is the best wedding band out there. They rocked from start to finish and MC'd the night perfectly. Our vision was to have a big dance party where no one left the dance floor and that mission was easily accomplished. We had several people dancing during the dinner set and the whole crowd up for both of the dance sets. Everyone even stayed out on the floor for the intermission while PDA played a playlist we created for them. I even saw some of the band grabbing some photos/video as all the guests sang along with bohemian rhapsody during the intermission! The band absolutely fed off the crowd and vice versa, the energy in the room was intoxicating. 8 months later and I still have people telling me PDA Band was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding and likely will ever see at a wedding. From the rotating singers, to the horns section, to the second line exit and the snazzy sequin tuxedos, nothing disappointed! Hire PDA Band and have a night neither you nor your guests will ever forget!
When I tell you PDA saved my wedding, I am not kidding or exaggerating. My original band that I had hired canceled on my 50 days before my wedding and I frantically started reaching out to every band in Austin to see if they were available for my popular wedding date knowing no one would be.. within MINUTES of me filling out PDA’s contact form, their manager called me and told me that some how, PDA was available. They were even better to me on those short 50 days than my original band was for over 12 months. They’re booking process was so easy- similar to ordering a meal on an app haha. You can easily just click through a list to add anything you want to your day. A jazz trio, ceremony music, horn section. You don’t have to ask for any of it, all of the pricing is right there and you just add it if you want. They knew all the questions to ask. Day of- I can’t even explain how good they were. I was told multiple times it was like a concert and they were the best band they’ve ever seen. FUN songs full of energy and HYPE. Not just typical classic wedding songs. The band even stayed and came to party with us at my after party. Let me get on stage and quite literally rip the mic from their hands to rap my favorite lizzo song. They were iconic. They are worth the money and they will completely change your wedding from a typical wedding to the best wedding anyone has ever been to. Hire them and you will not regret it.
If you are even considering booking Matchmaker, stop what you are doing and just do it. They were absolutely incredible and truly made our wedding day. Anyone I have talked to since has brought up Matchmaker and how amazing they were. Aside from their talent, they really connected with our guests and kept the party going all night. I can't recommend them enough!
Music was one of the top 3 most important elements of my wedding and with this as a priority, we had no choice but to reach out to one of our favorite bands in the Austin area. What a terrific evening as Matchmaker provided the live jazz music during dinner hour, then on to the full band for the reception music. The band is fun, engaging, and talented - our guests had so much fun as we danced the night away! The New Orleans style second line which led the way for our departure was a highlight of the wedding celebration. Family and friends raved about the band for months afterward.
One of the best decisions we made for the wedding! They were punctual, made the party, professionals, great sound, great voices, great energy, FUN! Guests commented on what a great band they were! We would hire them all over again! I would highly recommend!
Don't walk, RUN to book Matchmaker Band!!! We hired them for a jazz dinner set + 2 dance sets and they did not disappoint! The jazz set was groovy and perfect for a mingling dinner. The band could not have been more helpful and easy to work with along the way. We had quite a few special requests -- the band played with my MOH who sung during our first dance song, provided all sound equipment for our ceremony musician and officiant, and all of the equipment for our friend to late-night DJ. We had so many guests ask about the band after the event wanting to book them. Best night of our lives, THANK YOU Matchmaker!
The band was my daughter's number one priority! We hired Matchmaker without hearing them live, so we were a little nervous! We watched YouTube videos and thought they were good. Well their performance at our wedding exceeded our expectations! They were AMAZING! They engaged the crowd and played all the songs we requested! All of our guests thought they were the best wedding band they have ever heard! I even had a few contact us on Monday inquiring about hiring them for their next event! I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding!
Matchmaker is the best and we can’t thank them enough for such an AMAZING show on our wedding night! I can’t even count the number of guests who told us how incredible the band was. They helped make our wedding night so special and far exceed our wildest dreams! Highly recommend having them for your big day!
Matchmaker is the BEST! Perfectly set the tone and mood of the room, and had the dance floor packed all night. Hiring Matchmaker was one of our best decisions!! So professional, easy to work with, and beyond talented.
WOW literally the most amazing wedding band ever!! We received multiple comments from guests that it was the best wedding band they'd ever heard. The dance floor was packed all night long and everyone was having a blast thanks to Matchmaker!
Matchmaker Band exceeded our expectations for our wedding! They were so much fun, kept the energy going all night and performed the absolute best songs. My husband and I received SO many compliments on the band/guests were raving about them all night. BOOK THEM!!
Best wedding band ever! The band learned a song for our mom/groom dance which was awesome, perfection! They also accommodated the grooms dad to sing a special song and made it happen! Could not have been any better! Excellent does not even say how great this band was!
Matchmaker was our wedding band and they were next level. I can’t say enough positive things about them. Their talent is unmatched and they completely made our reception. Hiring them will be the best decision you make!
If you are debating to get a DJ or any other band, STOP NOW. Matchmaker Band made my wedding the most incredible party ever. Not only did they naturally get everyone on the dance floor and having a good time, they were SO kind and helpful. Their positive attitudes made the night so stress free. I can’t tell you the amount of people that have reached out asking who the band was and how amazing they were. They are worth EVERY PENNY AND MORE! I can not give a high enough review for them. Thank you Matchmaker Band for making it the wedding reception of my dreams!
Response from the Vendor on 12/02/2021
Hi Callie! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We remember your wedding like it was yesterday, and we are so happy we got to celebrate your special day with you!
The Matchmakers were absolutely incredible. They kept everyone dancing all night long and our guests were blown away by their talent. We had so many people say it was the best cover band they’ve ever heard. They were easy to work with and curated the playlist specifically to our needs. I was a previous event planner in Austin for years and have seen my share of other bands and can vouch for them as the best!!!
There aren’t words to express how incredible The Matchmakers were at our wedding. 3 different guests got their info that night and more have been asking us for it. Their voices, their dance moves, their energy, their song choices, even just the overall A/V guy were absolutely spectacular. 100% you need them at your wedding. Best decision ever!!
Hands down the best wedding band in Austin. I first saw them live at a friends weddings (loved em!); then at another friends wedding (loved em more!), and when it came time to plan my own wedding - well, it was pretty obvious who I would choose. Some of the guests liked them so much that they regretted their own band choices!
We booked Matchmaker band for our wedding and I cannot say enough about how fabulous they were!! They absolutely brought the party and exceeded our every expectation. The whole crowd (all generations!) was on the dancefloor all night and all of our guests raved about how it was the most fun night they've had in ages!! Highly recommend!
THIS BAND IS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. I CAN LITERALLY NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM. Do you want people on their feet and dancing at your wedding? Do you want a band that brings the heat and engages with the crowd? Do you want to dance on stage and maybe even crowd surf? Honestly... Do you want to have fun? Because if that is true, you have to book Matchmaker Band for your wedding. They were extremely professional and timely and listened to all my preferences for what I wanted the atmosphere of the reception to feel like. I told them I wanted a dance party and they BROUGHT THE HEAT. At one point, I am not kidding, every person in the room was on their feet breaking it down on the dance floor and singing along. It brought joy to my heart knowing that all my guests were enjoying the party just as much as I was. Marriage is a celebration and there is no better way to celebrate than with an extremely talented and lively band and lots of dancing and singing.
Matchmaker exceeded our exceptions! They had all ages out on the dance floor all night! Our guests could not stop talking about how GREAT the band was....no one wanted the night to end. My brother in law is usually the first one to pull the disappearing act and he stayed until the end wanting to hear more music! You will NOT be disappointed if you choose Matchmaker Band for your event!
Matchmaker band is truly the best wedding band! From the very start they were so easy and helpful to work with! Due to the pandemic, we were not able to listen to them live before we booked the band, but they made us feel so comfortable and sent us videos that proved they were amazing! We were SO excited to have a band at our wedding and Matchmaker exceeded any expectations we had! They kept the party going the entire night and SO many of our guests said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard! It felt like we were at the best concert with everyone we love! I would highly recommend doing the Second Line Send off as well! It was such a great end to the night and amazing way to start our send off! I cannot imagine our wedding without Matchmaker band and am so thankful they helped us celebrate our wedding! If you are looking for an wedding band in Austin, do not look any further!!
When the pandemic hit and we had to change our son’s wedding date, we chose a date that this band could accommodate because we wanted them so badly! We’ve since had the wedding and the band was the big hit that we knew they would be. Everything about working with them was a dream!
Matchmaker was SO fun!! They kept the party going all night long at our wedding. Their choreographed dances were awesome and the song list was perfect!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Matchmaker! They were wonderful to work with and we had the absolute best time with them at our wedding. Our guests still haven't stopped talking about the band!
When planning our wedding, there were lots of bands to choose from but I am so glad we found Matchmaker! They were worth the price and I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!
Hiring a band for our wedding was THE top priority for me and my husband... and The Matchmakers absolutely DELIVERED plus more!!! They were so much fun, have loads of talent, extremely entertaining, and our guests couldn't stop raving about them! They were honestly our favorite part of our wedding and would recommend them to everyone! My husband and I can't wait to visit Austin to go see them during Motown Mondays. If you're looking for a band for your wedding that delivers a party and gets everyone on the dance floor... book them now!!!!
The Matchmakers are INCREDIBLE! We feel so lucky that we were able to have them play at our wedding. We were originally planning a 200+ person wedding, but pared down to a 50 person, mostly family wedding instead due to covid19. The Matchmakers DELIVERED. We anticipated playing mostly dinner music given the smaller guest count, but they read the room and pivoted to dance music by the end of the night, and we had the time of our lives! All of our guests were raving about the Matchmakers the rest of the weekend. They are the most talented. Look no further if you're in search of the perfect wedding band, regardless of your guest count. We would 100 percent recommend!
Holy cow, Matchmaker are incredible. We hired them for a 200 person party of a wedding and then... Covid. Somehow, they managed to bring that same spirit to our 19 person minimony. I was worried that having a live band for a tiny group of our immediate family who were masked and socially distanced would be weird, depressing, and the opposite of fun, but man did Matchmaker deliver!
All our guests were raving about the band all night and everyone was having so much fun dancing (despite masks, distancing, and 100 degree heat) that we extended our dancing time.
Matchmaker was extremely professional and easy to work with. They were on top of everything, lovely in every interaction, and flexible with adjusting around Covid. They figured out a new band construction that would be appropriate for a smaller wedding and revised the song list and approach to be just right for the wedding we had.
The performers (from the cocktail hour / dinner jazz trio to the full band for dancing) were unbelievably talented. They were some of the best musicians I've ever heard perform and brought so much energy and enthusiasm to our event.
If you are thinking of having a band at your wedding, please do yourself a favor and hire Matchmaker. They are not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. If you're able to invest, you will be so happy you did!
We had been checking out a few wedding bands when a friend recommended we check out Matchmaker where they play every Monday night at the Highball. We went, and could hear them through the walls halfway across the parking lot, so we knew before we even got in that they were the real deal. They have a following of regulars who go every week just to dance to Matchmaker! They are all really professional musicians and a cut above the rest of the wedding bands we heard. When we had to postpone our 3/21/20 wedding due to COVID, they were so flexible and easy to work with in rescheduling. When we finally had our wedding on 10/4/20, it was a much smaller crowd, but even at the end of the night when there were only 5 or 6 of us on the dance floor, they kept the party rocking as if there were 500 or 600 people. I cannot say enough amazing things about Matchmaker, and can't wait until they're back at the Highball! If you want to give your guests a rocking party, look no further!
UNBELIEVABLE talent. They took our wedding to a completely different level. Each member was so unique in their talent and presence - they are all the real deal. We wanted a band with soul, that lifted people up and was non stop fun (after the rough year so many have navigated) and they did exactly that. There is no way this band could disappoint. And they also accommodated a last minute ceremony requested, flawlessly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Matchmaker Band, you make dreams come true.
HANDS DOWN BEST WEDDING BAND!! Matchmakers has performed at several of my family members weddings and they truly make the night. They sure know how to bring a crowd to the dance floor! They are super easy to work with and are always willing to go the extra mile to make your big day super special! They made our wedding one people will never forget!!
Matchmaker band is THE BEST BAND EVER!! They played at my sister’s wedding 4 years before mine, and I knew I HAD to have them when I got married. They were the first people I contacted to make sure they were available for my wedding date. At both mine and my sister’s wedding, our guests said that Matchmaker was the best band they have ever seen! Nobody left the dance floor all night, and our reception was 4 hours long plus a cocktail hour beforehand. Jerry even sang and played the guitar during my wedding ceremony, and it was beautiful. They exceeded all of our expectations. Look no further!!! This should be your wedding band!!
Matchmaker is AMAZING! Besides the whole getting married thing, this band was the highlight of our wedding. Matchmaker created incredible memories we will cherish forever -- like learning our first dance song and pulling us up onto the stage for the final song! Not to mention, their MC skills are top notch -- they kept everything running smoothly all night. Leading up to the wedding, Jerry and Amos were always super responsive to our questions and were such a joy to work with. We loved that we could book our ceremony string quartet and cocktail band through Matchmaker -- only having to deal with one vendor for music made life so much easier. Book this band -- they will give you the dance party of your life! Our friends are still talking about it.
The very first comment we heard from EVERY guest about our wedding was how amazing Matchmaker was. I echo every 5-star review - they are more than worth the budget allocation. Professional, FUN, extremely talented and clearly very passionate about what they do.
We utilized them for our ceremony (piano music, so beautiful and brought me to tears) , jazz trio set during our cocktail hour (SO FUN and fancy and set the mood) , and of course the full 10-piece band during our reception. People were swaying in their seats and singing along even during their dinner set, and the dance floor stayed packed the rest of the night. They MC-ed the whole evening and made it seamless. The DJ during set breaks was awesome.
One of the groomsman has a wedding coming up and grabbed their card. SERIOUSLY, BOOK THIS BAND!!!
Matchmaker is far and away the best band in Austin!!! Amos, Jerry and Drew were so easy to work with on song choice and creating a custom feel between cocktails, dinner, and the party. The band blew all of our 120 guests away -- every vocalist created a special vibe and feel that kept the crowd dancing. I can not recommend them enough! Book them now!
The Matchmaker Band absolutely blew us away. Our guests RAVED about them, and they kept our dance floor packed the entire night. If you want a memorable wedding, look no further - this is your band. We had at least thirty guests tell us this was the most fun reception they had ever been to. We were so thrilled with their performance and our decision to book them; they made the night.
Band was amazing! They got the crowd going. Would highly recommend.
Matchmaker was incredible! The load-in and tech crew were thorough, timely, and constantly tweaking to make sure they were delivering the best quality possible. The band was perfection! I have no other word for it. We had really high expectations after an outstanding experience 6 months ago at our son's wedding (with a different band), and were nervous that we could not meet that high bar; Matchmaker did not disappoint! From the dinner set to last song, they provided a sound track that continues to conjure up amazing memories. They were energetic, engaged, flexible, fun, and above all sounded AMAZING!
Matchmaker Band is Awesome and one of the best bands I have heard. They are energetic , fabulous singers and musicians and we danced all night! They really know how to get a crowd going. They are on the pricier side compared to others in the area but their talent and musicians speak for itself. They have an extensive song list and genres and very easy to work with and very communicative. They will not disappoint!
Hands down the best band in Austin or the surrounding area. They played our wedding over a week ago and my family is still saying their feet are sore because matchmaker kept them dancing all night long. They learned three songs for our wedding night and they were played to perfection. Jerry was in close contact and was super helpful in the planning of our special night. I cannot day enough good things about these guys. AMAZING!!!!!
The Matchmaker Band was awesome! My wedding planner highly recommended them and after checking them out in Austin, I was sold. They have great energy and their sound is flawless!
The night of our wedding they knocked it out of the park. All of our guests commented on how awesome the band was and we had tons of fun dancing with them. I highly recommend the Matchmaker Band!
Where to begin... Matchmaker was out of this world amazing!! We looked at 12-15 bands before finding Matchmaker and NO ONE compares to them!!! Each band member is extremely talented, engaging with the guests, and SO much fun!!! There were people telling me they would have PAID to be at our wedding because they are that good. Jerry and Amos were my main contacts and they were unbelievable to work with. They made our wedding everything we could had hoped for and more!
Matchmaker Band will be sure to make your wedding the best ever! They are a pleasure to work with--so kind and accommodating. The band is an absolute blast. We love Matchmaker!
Besides actually getting married, Matchmaker Band was the total highlight of our wedding day. They are so talented and every single guest at our wedding spent the whole night dancing - I'm still getting comments from friends and family five months after our wedding about how fabulous they were. I really can't recommend them highly enough!
This band is fire! Being a professional touring couple ourselves, my wife and I had high expectations for the live music portion of our wedding. We had seen Matchmaker at a few events in Austin and already loved them as performers and musicians. Having them at our wedding was a dream. Super pro, prepared, flexible, friendly and most importantly FUN. I think the whole party collectively wished we could have dance all night with them. Unequivocally one of the best wedding (or any event) bands out there today. Do yourself a favor and hire them immediately!
MATCHMAKER BAND was absolutely the VERY BEST and came VERY, VERY highly recommended by our awesome wedding planners, TRES EVENTS, and we took their recommendation and went to listen to them at Highball and knew immediately they would be the perfect BAND for my daughter's wedding. They were so cordial when we met them and immediately followed up on my email and were so thrilled to play for our daughter's New Year's wedding. From the moment they played "Dance with Somebody" for the "first dance" to "Shout" for the very last song the entire dance floor was packed all night long!!!! It was truly a FABULOUS night for all of our guests. We are still receiving RAVE REVIEWS on how AMAZNG MATCHMAKER BAND was and they played every single song plus so much more that we wanted them to play , especially Mo-Town which is our favorite!!! We are over the top HAPPY and TRILLED that MATCHMAKER BAND played at our daughter's wedding and I agree with the accolades that they have received as "the very BEST band in Austin" as we sure think they are!!!! Our venue was the absolute BEST that began when we chose our awesome wedding planners, BROCK & CO. that soon merged to become TRES EVENTS, to the FABULOUS MATCHMAKER BAND to Renee with the awesome FOUR SEASONS and their amazing staff who prepared a delicious dinner to our fabulous singers with COURTNEY SANTANA and the BARTON STRINGS QUARTETTE for the beautiful ceremony at SMITH FAMILY CHAPEL to PAMELA HULTS PHOTOGRAPHY to Diane and Gary with CRESCENT FILMS to the most delicious wedding and groom's cake ever from Judy Lee of SIMON LEE BAKERY, to the sketch artist VOGUE VIGNETTE and balloon artist KIWI'S PARTY to our great hair stylist CAROLYN TAYLOR HOLDEN and fabulous make up artist DONNA BRUNS who had all of us looking so beautiful to our transportation with UPTOWN VALET. Every single vendor that TRES EVENTS had for our amazing wedding was the very BEST and Becky, Kacy, Kat and Wendee who magically transformed the ballroom with gorgeous flowers and a fabulous balloon backdrop ALL worked relentlessly with my daughter to create and orchestrate every single detail that she envisioned for her dream wedding. It was truly a FABULOUS wedding and our daughter and son-in-law and entire family were over the top HAPPY and we would love to relive it again with all of our dear friends. And the good news is that we now can with the awesome video we will have from CRESCENT FILMS and the fabulous pictures and album from PAMELA HULTS PHOTOGRAPHY. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to EVERYONE who was a part of making my daughter's "Black Tie and Sparkles" magical New Year's dream wedding come true!!!! I am One VERY, VERY HAPPY Mother of the Bride and my husband is One VERY PROUD and ELATED Father of the Bride!!! And if this was not our last of 4 weddings, we would do it all over again EXACTLY the SAME!!!!
