WWR was incredible to work with, and we would 100% work with them again. We had them do both cocktail hour and the reception.
We received so many compliments from guests (even mon...
ths later) on how great the band was. Their song selection covers a wide range of music, and there is something for everyone on their set list. However, the cherry on top was them learning and playing 3 songs by request... and they absolutely nailed all 3! The big one was Doses and Mimosas by Cherub at the end of the night and the crowd just went wild.
A couple other highlights:
- they were extremely flexible and helpful on the big day. We had our reception venue cancel on us 3 days before the wedding, and WWR worked with us on figuring out the last-minute logistics.
- their experience takes a lot off of your plate. besides from selecting songs and going through details of the day, they really are very independent and figure things out on their own. If you hire them, I highly recommend trusting them with their guidance. They've done a lot of weddings, and they know exactly what to do.
- they change the songs during their set based on the energy of the crowd. that live feedback loop is the difference between a good & great band
Pat and the team were a huge highlight of our wedding weekend, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to provide an amazing music experience for their guests.
We booked WWR for our wedding band in October and were blown away. The music itself was terrific and curated to what we wanted. When we first reached out to Patrick, he sent us a l...
ist of 300+ songs in their repertoire and we went and highlighted the ones we liked, which ones we didn't like, and songs we were so-so on. They then took those and built out a custom performance for us including their own lighting. They were super responsive to our questions and needs, including providing a PA and microphone for our ceremony. Additionally, they provided the intro music and music during cocktail hour which fit the vibe of our wedding. Would 100% recommend these guys to anyone looking for a great, professional band for their big day!
WhiteWater Ramble were incredible to work with. Pat made everything straightforward and easy. They were even able to supply great equipment for the ceremony site so everyone could ...
hear the blessings. As soon as we met with then we knew we were in great hands for our special day. They matched the vibe of the wedding perfectly and they sound amazing!!! They had everyone on the dance floor all night singing and dancing. We can not recommend them enough!!!
Had the absolute BEST experience working with White Water Ramble! start to finish, loved working with them. As a planner I highly value a smooth and easy planning experience — the...
y were responsive and accommodating, which made coordinating so stress-free.
And the performance? Incredible. Their sound was amazing, and they brought such an awesome energy to the night. The dance floor was packed all night long, the guests and couple had a blast!
Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they're also just a super fun, down-to-earth group of people. I can’t recommend them enough—if you’re looking for a band that will take your celebration to the next level, White Water Ramble is it!
Incredible! Patrick and White Water Ramble were easily a highlight of our day.
They have a great process to really understand your vibe and the songs you like (and don't like!) a...
nd curated a great set list for our wedding day (everything from rock/alt/indie/funk/basically anything). They have a killer sound, amazingly talented musicians playing multiple instruments. We also opted to include a female vocalist, Jessica Jones, they often play with, who was a highlight and many of our guests still mention her.
They played a small bluegrass set outside during our happy hour and then did a diverse set for the main show. They were able to learn three songs of our choosing which were so fun and awesome! Every part of the whole thing was incredible.
Finding the right band was one of the hardest parts of our wedding process and once we committed to White Water Ramble, I knew we had made the right decision. Our biggest initial worry was that a lot of their online videos are Led Zeppelin covers—which we do enjoy—but we were hoping for more variety. And they absolutely delivered. They are so much more than that! Patrick was with us through every step of the process. They were easily our smoothest vendor to work with and felt fully invested in our day just like we were. We look forward to seeing them play again!
We first saw whitewater ramble play at our friends wedding and knew immediately we’d want to book them when our time came! We absolutely loved our experience with Whitewater Ramble...
and working with Patrick along the way. They have the perfect repertoire to take you from the ceremony, to cocktail and to get the dance floor going at the reception! Our guests raved about the bands performance and they were truly the highlight of out wedding!
My husband and I have seen a lot of live music (and still see a fair number of shows every year) so we really wanted to prioritize having a live band for our wedding. WhiteWater Ra...
mble exceeded our expectations (we knew they were good but, heck yeah they were awesome!!). They were super easy to deal with, super professional and made our wedding exceptional. People are still buzzing about how good the music was and how much fun they had. I highly recommend them, I would even rehire them for events in the future. Being able to put on a private concert for all the people you love is pretty incredible but having a band like WWR really nail it home made it that much better.
We go see A LOT of live music and for as long as I can remember my wife has said all she wants at our wedding was an open bar and a band. Needless to say, the band was probably the...
most important decision we had to make for our wedding. To say Whitewater Ramble exceeded expectations would be an understatement. They played acoustic for the ceremony, roved around playing for cocktail hour and provided a legit 2 set concert experience for our reception. All of it was truly incredible! Their ability to find out what we liked and know exactly what songs to play blew us away! All the music we love, none of the typical "wedding songs". You've probably never hired a band, which is why dealing with Patrick is such a pleasure. He was quick to respond to questions, provided the guidance we needed and kept us informed about how things would go down. I can't say enough about Whitewater Ramble, and neither could our guests. They truly made our wedding an unforgettable experience and I would recommend them without hesitation.
WOW! My partner and I really love seeing live music and we wanted a wedding band that was more than just a "wedding band" and these guys delivered! We saw White Water Ramble at a...
nother friends wedding and were really excited to book them for our own, unfortunately, they had already booked another wedding that date. They put together an ensemble of other band members to do our wedding and I was nervous that they wouldn't be as a good, but they EXCEEDED our expectations. All of our guests were raving about the band. They brought us all on stage for a more intimate experience and it was hands down the best night of our lives. I would hire them again, just for fun! :). Thanks for the spectacular evening and for learning some of our favorite songs!
WWR was an absolute joy to work with. They gave us a list of songs to pick from for my daughter's wedding reception which was quite extensive and covered many genres. They took the...
time to learn 3 of our favorite songs to add to the selections for the evening.
Their performance was fabulous! They played great and added their own riffs and flourishes to create a fabulous time for all. We danced and danced.
I received many comments afterwards about how great the band was.
Thank you for making our evening memorable!
WWR was such an awesome choice for a wedding band. They learned all of the songs requested (even some weird ones) and worked on the fly to account for a short time for sound check....
Everyone at our wedding is still raving about the band and how fun they were. The dance floor was the place to be all night! Patrick was a very responsive and organized leader. He was super easy to work with.
The one thing everyone brings up about our wedding is how good the band was. WWR was amazing to work with. They even learned 3 new songs for us! They kept everyone on the dance flo...
or and we are so thankful we chose them. Highly recommend to anyone who is sick of the traditional wedding song list that every DJ offers.
If I could give more stars I would. Throughout the booking and planning process, Pat was extremely professional. I went in with high expectations, and somehow and someway they ex...
ceeded those expectations. The band dealt with a rainstorm and re-routed and still made the entire evening an absolute blast. The dancefloor was packed and everybody kept telling me how much they loved this band!
I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding the best party of the year. If you can hire them....DO IT!
We LOVED these folks. They had the perfect blend between blue grass, rock, and folk, all infused with incredible talent and spirit. Our guests went wild for this band. Patrick was ...
also very organized, professional, communicative, and easy to work with. They even learned an original jazz song that my Dad wrote on the piano which they adapted for our father-daughter dance. So special. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Right of the bat I could tell that Patrick and WhiteWater Ramble would be phenomenal. Patrick was so lovely to email with. He was very communicative and responded promptly. They se...
nt over hundreds of songs to learn our "vibe," and learned the songs that we requested for first dances. We had some not so great weather at random points throughout our wedding, and they were so flexible throughout it all. They even continued to play their live set later after the weather delay. After that, they DJ'd until the night was done. The amount of guests who raved amount them is endless. We even had people asking for their name to hire them for their own weddings. 10/10 would recommend WhiteWater Ramble. I hope to attend a wedding where they play again.
Hiring Whitewater Ramble was far and away one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding weekend. Our guests won't stop talking about them! The band planned (with our input) a 3...
-part set that escalated from dinner-friendly music to a full on dance party -- our guests were even moving tables out of the way to make the dance floor bigger! WWR has everything from authentic bluegrass, to classic rock covers, to modern pop songs. My husband and I both love music - and are a bit particular about wedding bands - we really hit the jackpot here. The best part was how they expertly read the crowd and played to such a wide range of musical tastes. We had guests from the Rocky Mountains to Argentina to New York to South Korea and EVERYONE was on their feet.
Leading up to the weekend, the band was super communicative and professional - they really worked with us to get an idea of what kind of atmosphere we were going for, and they absolutely nailed it. As soon as we received the song list, we knew the party was going to be amazing. These guys are true professionals and incredible musicians, not to mention a great value. Well worth the investment - if you're considering hiring them look no further!!
This was the perfect band for our wedding! We enjoyed every step of the process with them, and our guests loved them on the big day! They cater to many genres and all of our guests...
were dancing and having a fun time. They were pleasantly surprised and talked about how great the band was after the wedding. Their unique bluegrass twist was just what we were looking for to make our night a success. Our caterer even said our wedding was in the top two for 2023, and I think a big part of that was because of the music!
Definitely worth the money! Would love to see them again when we come back to Colorado. Thanks again!
WhiteWater Ramble was amazing to work with from the minute we reached out to our private last dance as husband and wife and every step along the way. They were extremely responsive...
, professional, and made our day so special. Music was something that was so important to my now husband and I and we spent a lot of time researching and meeting with bands. WWR offers a different sound than a lot of the wedding bands out there, which was much more our vibe. They have a wide range of songs that they know and learned to play many of our favorites, even my instrumental request for a Taylor Swift song to walk down the aisle with. They were open and honest with what songs might be better as a Spotify song if we wanted to capture the love for the original, and I appreciated that. We met with them several times, ironed out every detail and timeline and they exceeded every expectation I could have asked for. We have already recommended them to several other couples looking to book a band next year and would recommend them to anyone. All our guests loved them and danced all night with us. My dad even danced so hard he said had to tighten his belt so his pants wouldn't fall down. Thanks for making our night so special!

owers for our first song was absolutely perfect and we got so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful they were. Patrick was extremely easy to work with and put us at ease when we were making out last minute arrangements. We cannot recommend WWR enough and can't wait to see them play again.
We cannot recommend WWR enough for your dream wedding!! They put on a show of a lifetime and were so responsive/easy to work with. We couldn't have dreamed up a better band or setl...

organize and MC'd sections of the night and kept it all flowing. All of his suggestions were perfect. But most importantly, they rocked! Our guests loved the music and danced all night long. We never left the dance floor! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Thank you, WWR!

xcited to make any of our ideas happen. Not to mention incredible musicians!! Every guest at the wedding was raving about the band. They made it so fun for all ages. I cannot say enough good things about WWR! Do not hesitate, they'll take your wedding to the next level.
Where to start!! Pat and his team were an exceptional group of musicians who really set the tone for our wedding and made it a joyful celebration for everyone! We had a slightly le...
ss traditional ceremony order - we greeted our guests as they arrived for an initial cocktail hour, then did our ceremony, mingled with guests again during the second cocktail hour, and then had dinner and dancing. WhiteWater Ramble provided fabulous bluegrass music during our cocktail hours and such a fun true "dance grass" set after dinner!! Their renditions of our first dance song (Tyler Childers, All Your'n), our mid-dance slow song (June Hymn, The Decembrists) and our last dance (Cover Me Up, Jason Isbell) were also magical and truly made our evening. They responded promptly to our messages, worked with us even when we were sharing last-week changes to the exact timing of the day, and were fair and honest about their pricing - we felt like the service was exceptional throughout the entire process. We enjoyed their music so much that we plan to seek them out at other non-wedding venues over the next years! Thank you again Pat and WhiteWater Ramble team, you made our wedding day an absolute joy!

r of TLC's Chasing Waterfalls and we both teared up during the songs they learned/arranged special for us.
The band was professional throughout the booking process, showed up on time, and packed up on time. They are a seasoned wedding band who knows their stuff! Our guests will not stop raving over them. If you are looking for live music for your wedding or event (which you should definitely!)- look no further. WhiteWater Ramble is the way to go!

I would highly highly recommend White Water Ramble. I hired them for my Colorado Wedding and Patrick was wonderful to work with right from the start. He got back to me immediately ...
with pricing and he stayed in great communication throughout the whole process. These guys can read the crowd which will keep your guests dancing all night. Everyone at the wedding was on their feet and just raved about their performance. They can play tons of wedding cover songs or throw in some of their great, original music. They played my ceremony, cocktail, and reception. I am in the events industry and would 100% recommend these guys for any event: wedding, corporate retreats, incentives, reunions, rehearsals…etc. They are fun, they work the crowd, fabulous communicators, and very skilled musicians. BOOK THEM.
We cannot say enough great things about Whitewater Ramble! Top notch musicians with an excellent ability to create custom arrangements and work the crowd. They were professional an...
d responsive throughout our time working together, which goes a long way during the craziness of wedding planning. They covered our ceremony with background string covers and then got the dance floor rocking for the reception. In both cases they were phenomenal. This is not your average wedding band, if you are looking for an incredible and unique musical experience at your wedding then look no further!
We hired WhiteWater Ramble to play at our wedding party, and they were absolutely outstanding! Everyone loved them and we had so much fun dancing to all of their songs. They were a...

Do yourself a favor and book WhiteWater Ramble for your wedding. We had SO MUCH FUN dancing to them all night at my wedding. They were extremely easy to work with, attentive, under...

My husband and I actually met at a WWR show, so we were thrilled when we found out that we could book them for our wedding. We knew they were going to be amazing but they still over delivered and exceeded our expectations. They played plenty of different genres and kept the party going all night. Even our family members and guests that were weary of having a live band couldn't stop raving about them. Thank you Patrick and band for making our wedding perfect! We can't thank you enough.
We can not recommend WhiteWater Ramble enough! They did a fantastic job from start to finish. Their positive energy and quality of their music had everybody on the dance floor! The...

e most fun wedding they’d been to and I can’t imagine a better experience than what we had. Thank you Whitewater Ramble for making our wedding the best time of our lives.
If you are a fan of live music, this band will make your wedding one of the best shows you've been to in a while! If you've never been to a concert if your life, get ready to live!...
WWR will play pretty much any songs, bands, styles, that you like. My wife and I have a deep connection with music and having a band at our wedding was very important to us. WWR did a string quartet during our ceremony that was beautiful, nailed every dance song (first dance, dances with parents, personal requests) that we selected to perfection, and jammed out well into the night with a full concert experience! People were dancing like they've never danced before! We could not have asked for a better band to work with and are so grateful that we picked WWR to be part of this special day with us.
As far as planning goes, we had to reschedule our wedding 3 times over the course of 18 months (COVID), and WWR was a breeze to work with through this challenge. Every communication was responded to within a day, and literally everything we asked for they were able to accommodate. 100% professionalism and a joy to work with!
Any couple who's looking for a versatile, fun, and incredibly talented band should look no further. Do yourselves and your guests a favor by booking these guys for your wedding. You won't regret it!
WhiteWater Ramble brings the heat! After delighting the crowd with an acoustic performance during the ceremony and cocktail hour, they served up two sets of supremely danceable, st...
ringy goodness. This is an amazingly talented group of musicians that exceeded our expectations and made our wedding a truly special and unforgettable event.
I am getting married in a year, so I am just leaving a review of what it’s like to work with Patrick so far. Everything has been so smooth & easy, and every convo I’ve had makes me...
even more ridiculously excited for the wedding. Best decision!!!
We booked for ceremony & cocktail hour & they offer completely fair pricing considering how epic of a band they are. I HIGHLY recommend working with them to add the something extra & memorable that you’re wanting for your wedding.
The WWR were the highlight of my daughter's beautiful Breckenridge wedding this month. They played acoustic strings for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then full band for the re...
ception/dance party.
Weeks later people are still talking about "the band" and how great they were. We had talked about the music our families like and they took our requests and also said they would "play to the crowd" and they certainly did, our dance floor was basically jumping for joy all evening.
I had worked with Patrick for almost 2 years since we had to postpone and reschedule the wedding. Over that time he was always very prompt getting back to me and super flexible and willing when it came to any of our requests.
I can not say enough about how much we loved this band. Our friends and family are trying to figure out another excuse for a party so we can enjoy them again!
We've been big fans of Whitewater Ramble long before we knew we could have them play at our wedding, and they absolutely didn't disappoint! They were very professional in planning,...
and made our day that much more fun. We got so many compliments on our band! THANK YOU WHITEWATER RAMBLE!!
Our wedding would not have been the same without this band. They brought it to life, and we have never danced so much in one night. All we had to do was give them a few guidelines ...
on what kind of music we wanted (bluegrass focused), and they ran with it. They also covered a few songs upon request, one of which was our first dance. One of my biggest regrets of the night was not having it recorded. It was phenomenal. You will not regret working with White Water Ramble, theyre the real deal.
WWR was a major highlight of our wedding! Working with them was straight forward and easy, and they brought so much fun and life to the dance floor at our reception. Our guests abs...
olutely loved them and were singing their praises for weeks after the wedding. The guys are all super nice and friendly and just were so so so much fun to have playing at our wedding!
WWR is awesome! Easy to work with and music is great. Always on time and very professional. You and your guests will dance the night away.
My wife and I saw Whitewater Ramble play a few shows throughout CO. We are big fans of their original music and we were excited to hear that they were willing to play during our we...
dding reception. Patrick and band are extremely talented, have an extensive list of cover songs and had the guests (young&old) dancing the whole time. Music selection was the most important part of our wedding planning and I couldn't be happier with our choice. Book whitewater ramble for a memorable bluegrass dance party!
WWR is an AMAZING choice for ANY occasion! First, they are incredibly easy to work with and are excited to cater to your music needs. Second, they are a blast to have at your we...
dding/event! They keep the energy high all night, or slow when you need it. This is my THIRD time booking with them for an event (2 fundraisers and my personal wedding :) )....I would recommend them all day every day!
My friends/family still rave over our wedding, 6-months later. The most common compliment we get is "you had the BEST BAND"! And we couldn't agree more! They were easy to work w...
ith, I highly recommend them for any wedding that you want people to dance at! Bluegrass is one of those genres that get everyone on their feet, dancing, clapping, swinging! A trio from the band played processional/recessional music, which gave our basic outdoor wedding a more intimate & joyful energy. And everyone was sore for days after dancing our hearts out! This band is a Denver/Front Range legacy. You've probably seen them at different festivals or at one of the many popular music venues. Just having "White Water Ramble" on our website made us feel cool! Nobody remembers our decor or parting gifts or what everyone was wearing.... They remember our band! And that's what we wanted - a CELEBRATION / PARTY to remember! THANK YOU WWR!
WhiteWater Ramble absolutely made our big day!!! Tyler and I are huge music lovers and picking the right band was the most important thing to us. The guys in WWR worked with us to ...
make sure our story and our favorite songs were intertwined with their setlist for the night. They played a beautiful acoustic set for our ceremony and a killer set at the reception that had EVERYONE dancing. They are a wonderful, talented group of people and they would be an ideal addition to any wedding.
