The Funk Crusaders were phenomenal in their performance, DJing, MCing, correspondence and overall professionalism for our wedding reception. The night would not nearly have been as lively and fun (and affordable) with any other band.
Mike, th...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.
