Fantastic!
What a talented duo! They had the crowd up and dancing and the song selection was so on point. Brandon was super responsive and made sure every t was crossed and i was dotted on their end.
From start to finish, The Gibbonses were on board with our vision and made the magic happen!
From our initial meetings via Zoom going over the paperwork, to their attention to detail during our walk of the venue, to the rehearsals that they di...
d with our wedding band that we had pieced together, and onto the final day, these two were one thing: breathtaking.
Some people are singers, some people can play instruments, but The Gibbonses are artists.
Jackie, despite being INJURED was on the dance floor getting people pumped, Brandon was always on point with the scheduling and always stayed mindful of it when moving us through the night.
They never faltered. We knew going through the night that things might go wrong, but we always knew that it would never be them.
Their chemistry is fantastic, and in true artistic spirit, they are collaborative with all parties involved, venue included.
Despite the night being a blur as it is for all wedding couples, my most vivid and enjoyable memories of it were my interactions with Jackie and Brandon.
Do your wedding a favor, give your guests a treat, Call Brandon and Jackie. You will not be disappointed.
The Gibbonses were so easy and fun to work with! They are very talented musicians and they help keep your event lively throughout its entirety. Not only will they make your event even better than you imagined, but you will become friends with ...
these guys! They will get to know you and learn your style and make a lasting memory at your event!! I cannot say enough good things about this amazing trio. Yes, I said trio because their stage manager is amazing as well!

You will not be disappointed! 🤗

Awe! Thanks so much Jackie! We had so much fun working with you guys as well! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day, and I'll be sure to pass this on to Cynthia! She'll appreciate the shout-out! Happy New Year and please keep in t...
ouch! :)
GUYS!!!!! Okay first off my husband and I are HUGE music people. He plays guitar, concert tickets are our love language and music festivals are our hobby. So, we were super nervous about hiring a wedding band. At first when my sister found the ...
Gibbonses I was skeptical, how could two people fill a stage and bring the energy/performance of a full band? OH HOW DUMB WAS I! They brought so much, fun, energy, intimacy and love to our night I was shocked at how much two people could do. They were the biggest compliment we got at our wedding and the absolute best decision we made. Easy to work with and truly listened to what we wanted. I cannot say enough how incredible these guys are and how much they will bring to your day!
Response from the Vendor on 12/13/2021

nd of course, the party was a blast! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day! :)
Hiring The Gibbonses made our day extra special and way more memorable. Just a back story, we already had hired a DJ for a wedding(deposit paid). Few weeks later, I saw an IG story of The Gibbonses performing in a wedding. from a local photogra...
pher. I immediately knew I had to get them for our wedding day! Long story short, we forfeited our contract with the DJ and hired The Gibbonses for their full package( live performance, Emcee, dj). We do not regret it. My husband says that his most favorite part of the night was me walking down the aisle while the band sang the song “How Long Will I Love You” beautifully!!! Several guests were asking how we found them as they were really outstanding and entertaining!
Response from the Vendor on 12/11/2021

r quite some time! ;)
Where do I even begin... Brandon & Jackie are absolutely AMAZING!!!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. From the very beginning of my wedding process at our first meeting they were professional, so kind, responsive and flat ...
out just a BLAST to work with. I originally had an outdoor wedding planned and the night before the wedding it was a complete flooded, downpour. I of course panicked, called Jackie and told her we had to move locations. They were completely understanding and simply said "send us the new address and we will be there." I can't tell you how calming that was to this anxious brides heart! and they did, they showed up and put on a SHOW, at the end of the night I was begging them to stay longer! we did not want the night to end. Brandon & Jackie completely led my ceremony and reception and it went off without a hitch. It was perfect, they keep the crowd dancing on their feet and everyone had a blast. since my wedding I have had several people that attended reach out and ask for their contact information because they want to use them again at their own events! I would get married 10x over again just to have Brandon & Jackie play again! Do not hesitate, book them, you will not regret it one bit!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/11/2021
Wow Kayla! Thank you soooo much for this amazing review!!! You and Jud we so much fun to work with! As far as the great flood and last-minute venue change...we were SO IMPRESSED with how you guys not only pulled that off in 15 hours but you i...
t was done so BEAUTIFULLY! And though I'm sure you were freaking out on the inside, you didn't show it one bit! Such a good time! We'd be more than happy to play for you two 10xs over! ;)
Jackie and Brandon are the BEST wedding band we’ve ever encountered. From initial consult, Jackie was the most understanding, professional, and humble musician we consulted when it came to finding a vendor who would listen and provide all of ou...
r needs for live music, DJ, and MC. What we loved the most about our experience with the Gibbonses was their ability to help us every step of the way from detailed reception timeline planning, consulting, and providing suggestions to make the reception run as smooth as possible with their own expertise from their many years of experience. Live music was my number one priority in choosing our music vendor and I really hit the Jackpot with this team. They filled our day with such joy, love, and breath taking memories due to their amazing flexibility and adaptability to follow the mood and vibe of the party. It was truly outstanding how they took all of the stress away that day to help run the reception so smoothly so that my husband and I could just enjoy our time to celebrate together worry-free. They were able to play live music for the entire cocktail hour and a 3-hour reception with endless compliments from our guests and family about the vocal quality, adorable chemistry, and amazing performance energy the entire day. They will not disappoint in making your wedding day as special as possible.
After booking the venue, this was our next stop! The Gibbonses were absolutely AMAZING! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them. They are so professional and got their ish together! I mean, it was flawless. They do it ALL! Aside from their t...
alent, I wanted honest, fun, and caring people to be at our wedding. Jackie and Brandon are just that and more! It made our day even more special having them apart of it. I would pick them a thousands times over. You should too! 🤍

😭😭😭 I’m totally ugly crying now Lisa! You and Jordan were so stinking easy and awesome to work with! It was seriously an honor. 💜💜💜 don’t you dare be strangers. (And have Jordan call Brandon for those guitar lessons😉.)

I absolutely cannot wait to find another event to partner with this dynamic duo on! The Gibbonses were professional from start to finish. As an event planner you sometimes worry that a vendor will not fulfill 100% of what they have promised, ...
this was NOT the case here! They gave us more! Their music is perfection and the timing of songs were the perfect flow for the evening. Thank you guys for being awesome and keep being YOU! BRIDES, hire them! You WILL NOT regret it! Let's do it again soon!

I can't excited enough now much everyone LOVED LOVED LOVED the Gibbonses at our wedding. They are 100%, hands down one of the BEST decisions we made while planning our wedding. They are both so amazing and down to earth, FUN, FUNNY, TALENTED...
& flat out the highlight to our night. From working with a friend of ours who sang during our ceremony to making sure the game for was constantly full. They didn't disappoint. We threw them a curve ball at the end of the night and they hit a home run. I promise, you won't be disappointed. They now feel more like family than just a vendor. Their energy is contagious and you'll end up keeping their originals on your Playlist, I promise. We just loved these two and can't wait to hopefully see them in concert somewhere. ❤

The Gibbonses absolutely rock. Jackie and Brandon are incredibly talented, organized, put-together, and above all — so fun! Working them was a breeze. We had a few calls with them before the wedding to chat about our vibe as a couple, what we h...
oped for for the reception, etc. They asked questions I would never have even thought about and learned a couple of my husband’s and my favorite songs to play at the wedding. Our guests RAVED about them — seriously, these two have serious singing/guitar/drumming/you name it skills. Their set-up is perfect, and Brandon MC’d our entrances, toasts, dances, etc. You can tell that these two know and LOVE what they do. Their coordinator also was present at the wedding and got some of the songs on video, which was such a lovely surprise to see when it was all over. I hope I get to throw a big party and work with them again!!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2021
Ahhhhhhh!!! ☺️🤸🏻♂️✨ thanks darling! Such sweet sweet words! You were such a dream to work with with your organization as well! You MAN did you look so beautiful! Took my breath away when you entered.. I’ll never forget it. ☺️ I can’t imagine...
ending 2020 any other way than the thrill of Stacy’s Mom and the energy in that room!!
-Jackie
Jackie and Brandon may have been the highlight of our entire wedding! They were both SO fun, easy to work with, took the time to get to know us individually, and learned custom songs just for our ceremony and first dances. They knew exactly how...
to set the tone for the whole evening. We have been to several weddings where the mic stops working mid-ceremony or there are technical difficulties and we had such a fear that that would occur at our wedding, but nope! Brandon and Jackie nailed everything to a T! During the cocktail hour, they played a beautiful acoustic set, and when it was time for the reception, they brought the party. Jackie has so much energy and got the whole room moving and having an amazing time. And not to mention, she’s an unbelievably talented singer. Brandon absolutely crushed the DJ set too. I’m not lying when I say that every guest at our wedding took the time to tell me and my wife how much they loved the Gibbonses. We can’t imagine our day having been without them, and I cannot possibly recommend them more highly.

’t wait for the 4 of us to share drinks & memories in Seattle!
FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! We had lots of variety in our set list and people who NEVER dance were dancing that night. They perfectly executed our ceremony by keeping everyone on track and helping the entire wedding flow naturally from event to event....
There was nothing stuffy about them and everyone said it was the most unique/FUN/Concert like/but intimate entertainment they had seen at a wedding. They provided mc services, ceremony music, live music and a DJ booth!! Their voices are insanely great!!! Sooooo much to offer and they over delivered what they were selling!!! Seriously a flawless setup! They also had their own coordinator to be the eyes and ears during the wedding and she was awesome too! Such a professional group of people and insanely fun!! Not only would I hire them for your wedding but any event they would absolutely CRUSH!! So happy! Look forward to hiring them again for our next big event!
Response from the Vendor on 11/28/2020

Amazing, talented duo. Great musicians and awesome people, having the Gibbonses perform at our party took it to the next level. The music and energy level was perfectly matched with the event and they were instrumental in controlling the tone o...

re the best to work with, easy to communicate with, and just flat out incredible at what they do! Myself and our guests couldn't stop raving about how awesome they were and for them to only be two people, yet output the sound of a 10 person band. It's just unbelievable!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Ahh Alyssa, this is so sweet!! Thank you for making our jobs so easy and enjoyable! :))
Ps You looked SO beautiful!!!
Can not find enough ways to say how amazing the Gibbonses are. The entire performance blew us away! They had the crowd entertained by knowing exactly what songs to play and killed it on the performance the whole time! Their vocals are amazing, ...
they are charismatic, and makes everyone want to get up and dance. I can not recommend the Gibbonses enough! They were a huge highlight for my wedding and make the reception fun, lively and got everyone up and having a great time. They are easily a 10/10!

Ahhh!! Thanks Carsyn!! We had SO much fun too!!! ♥️
Jackie and her husband were the perfect duo for our wedding. They performed during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was an outdoor wedding in sweltering heat, but people were dancing all night! Jackie and I hit it off during our f...
irst phone call. They are super organized and I knew they genuinely cared that this day be as stress free and perfect as it could be. They did a site visit with me that they offered to do. I definitely don't plan weddings every day, so the organizational documents they provided ahead of time had me thinking of all the details that I probably would have missed otherwise. They also have an amazing equipment setup that just took the pain away from thinking of things like microphones for the officiant and us. Extra equipment to handle moves between different sites on the venue (ours had three different areas they had to prepare!)
The ceremony was beautiful and simple, and the reception was setup for live band (they sound much bigger than 2 people!) and DJ. Even when they were transitioning to DJ, Jackie and Brandon kept the party going. They were very engaging, and they truly tailored the evening to me and my husband.
They are genuinely nice, talented and energetic people. We received tons of compliments from our wedding guests!! I would hire them again in an instant!

ion and I had seen The Gibbonses perform in Dallas at The Rustic whilst enjoying a nice Saturday afternoon with friends and cocktails! After 3 songs, I knew I HAD to have them play at our wedding. This incredible Husband and Wife combo had the sound of a 10-piece band with Jackie playing a FULL drum set standing UP (which I've NEVER seen in all my days of live music) and her husband Brandon jamming guitar, bass, harmonica, and what sounded like turn tables! Jackie's voice is angelic hitting very strong powerful vocals while Brandon guitar soloing like he was Jimmy Hendrix! They played songs from every genre you could imagine, and the energy NEVER stopped. Our wedding seemed like a 20,000-capacity amphitheater concert with The Gibbonses playing live, we danced for hours and hours and could've partied until sunrise! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend The Gibbonses for any wedding band as they do NOT disappoint. They can literally play ANY song, from any genre, from any time period AND they have killer original music as well. Book them fast because someday they will be big time and not playing weddings anymore, they are pure talent!
Response from the Vendor on 06/09/2020
WOW!!! My goodness Howie... thank you!! This is such an amazing review, I’m literally speechless! You guys were awesome to work with and we had as much fun as you did, so thank you again for having us!!
We were introduced to The Gibbonses just 6 weeks before our wedding and were so impressed with how quickly they jumped into action and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. And, their music is AMAZING. A seriously talented duo...
.
The Gibbonses communication and attentiveness was top-notch. Jackie and/or Brandon responded to emails within minutes or jumped on quick calls to make sure everything was covered. My fiancée and I can be indecisive and the Gibbonses were able to recommend songs for certain parts of the ceremony and reception that we went with. They knew exactly what kind of music & mood we were going for and quickly learned a handful of songs that were special to us. We even threw a last-minute request in and they were so accommodating and professional.
The Gibbonses (and their awesome sound engineer, Cynthia) exceeded our expectations on the day of the wedding. They have a clean, stylish setup and immediately picked up the energy with their music. My fiancee is not a big dancer yet they somehow found a way to make her comfortable getting on the dance floor. We can’t even remember how many people came up to us to ask us where we found them and to tell us how amazing they were. Book The Gibbonses for your next event. You will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 06/17/2020
Thanks Max! It was such a beautiful venue and you and Melissa we're SO easy to work with.
The Gibbonses are hands-down the best duo in Dallas! As a wedding planner, they are extremely easy to work with leading up to each wedding, always quick to respond and are true professionals in every aspect. They work hard to ensure they are pr...
oviding everything the couple wants and more. Having their sound tech on-site helps a ton for ease of communication and timing. Jackie and Brandon are so talented and always blow me away - guests love Jackie on the drums! They are truly versatile and perfect for soft background music, ceremony music and getting people on the dance floor. I highly recommend The Gibbonses and can't wait to work with them on the next one!

Ahh thanks Dan! Such sweet words. You two were the easiest, kindest couple EVER and I just love how much our friendship with you and Amanda has blossomed since!
The Gibbonses were SO easy to work with and so positive through our entire planning process! They balanced our preferences and their experience and insight to create the perfect event that we wanted but couldn't quite describe. Additionally the...
y were clear and upfront about their preferences, advice, and limitations from our first conversations, which was extremely helpful to make sure that my vision was realistic and realizable.
Jackie was super responsive from our very first contact, and she and Brandon fit perfectly into our reception vibe. They even called to make sure that they dressed properly for the venue and event! Not only do they sound amazing, but they're clearly excellent musicians; and they were able to improvise beautifully when our guests migrated away and we needed to re-set up their performance space. Plus they were awesome at recognizing the flow and timing of our event, put together a great playlist, and timed any urgent questions at just the right down moments.
My husband is still talking about how happy he was that we found them, and our wedding was over a month ago! I can't recommend the Gibbonses highly enough, and I would absolutely recommend them for any event without reservation.

Daniella, this is SO So kind!! You were gorgeous, organized, communicative, and a dream bride to work with! ❤️ can’t wait to see the photos! It was such a gorgeous wedding!
