The Funk Crusaders

rusaders were communicative, punctual, and professional. Not only are these perfect qualities for a wedding vendor, which can be a highly stressful experience, they were also very affordable for a live wedding band. In addition to playing around 20 songs, they also D.J.-ed a playlist that we created to establish the personal wedding experience we were looking for. It was the best of both worlds and a knock out experience for our guests to get down on the dance floor.

e band correspondent, was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. He gave us the option to request specific songs from their deep catalog or simply allow them to design a setlist for us. He also offered to learn a few songs not on the setlist that we wanted to hear (we requested “Love Never Felt So Good” by Michael Jackson and they nailed it). As an MC, Mike followed our wedding schedule to a T and kept the event rolling at a smooth and unforced pace. During band breaks, he put on a playlist that was programmed to play as soon as they stopped. Sounds trivial, but it kept people on the dance floor with no break in the action. The performance itself was perfect. The setlist they designed alongside our selections catered to all generations. The band specializes in Motown, funk and rock, so our aunts and uncles were dancing just as much as our friends and cousins. We highly recommend choosing the package with brass instruments. It didn’t cost much more than the standard package and was still more affordable than ALL the other bands we looked at. The sax and trumpet did the songs justice and made every song kick. Put your wedding anxiety to rest and pick this band.

rned a few songs special for us. They have tons of great energy and really connected with the crowd all night. The members of the band were all very nice too. All around best experience we could have asked!
