We highly recommend Moonshot Band for your wedding or an upcoming event. Working with Rom for our wedding in northern Michigan was fantastic — great communication, awesome set list, and he worked with the band to learn several songs for our ceremony. Our guests were out on the dance floor all night, from kids to grandparents!

To say Moonshot was the highlight most talked about thing for our wedding was an understatement! Moonshot went above and beyond to provide the most detailed, couple centered, love ...
centered, fun centered night for us. They have fun thought through extras and details sprinkled into every moment of the day to make it special. They track list reaches all sorts of genres and ages to make everyone up on their feet dancing and having a good time. They communication was impeccable and they were always making sure to do as much as possible to take stress off of the wedding couple as possible. If you are even slightly considering a live band over a DJ or even if you thought you wanted a DJ look no further as Moonshot is where you need to ensure the perfect day. Worth every penny and every wedding guest has commented how amazing they were.

we couldn't find a song we wanted on Spotifiy. They even made a highlight video of the ceremony that they played during the reception. We all had a lot of fun watching that! And of course what mattered most, they sounded GREAT, and made the evening a lot of fun! I am SO glad I hired them!

nd very kind. They were very in-tune with our guests and seemed to know just the right time to switch to a slow song, and when to pick the party back up. They even made a point to learn our first dance song, so my husband and I could dance to a live version. It was such a special night, and we are so grateful.

From day one our experience with Rom & Kevin of Moonshot Band has been nothing but excellent. We wanted a Live Band, not a D.J. or some ***-ify playlist. Real people playing real m...
usic! Do yourself a favor and book them. We contacted them online and Rom called back within an hour, maybe less. We're located a solid 90-miles from them and they still made the trip and played a set of songs that *every* single one of 91 guests enjoyed -- Seriously, not a single person was disappointed. They bill themselves as a wedding band, but that is such an understatement. They play to a diverse crowd, indulge the occasional guest singer and guitarist, and keep the party rockin'! You can probably find our reviews elsewhere --- I can't say enough good things about our choice in hiring Moonshot Band. Use us for a reference anytime.

“Moonshot was awesome for my daughter’s wedding! They played all night long and recognized the type of music the crowd wanted to hear. Kevin, the band leader kept the crowd engaged...
and the party going.
The day of my wedding the weather was iffy and the band knew my daughter want her wedding outside and helped make the decision with venue to keep it outside. It was the right call!
My wife passed away two years prior and it was emotional planning the wedding. The band was responsive and patient with communication and we had a lot of questions. Kevin and the band knew how special the night was for many and knocked it out of the park. My wife would have been pleased.
Thanks again Moonshot. You are the best!!
