Must book!
Throughout the planning process, Rocco promptly responded to all of my questions and helped support us in the planning of the reception. Having played many weddings, he is very knowledgeable about the flow of the night. On our wedding night, Rocco helped with the flow of events and helped make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. He even helped my Maid of Honor play a special recording from a friend who couldn’t be there during her speech. Most importantly, Rocco and the band gave the MOST AMAZING performance- there is a reason they have so many 5 star reviews! Guests were coming up to me left and right during the reception to comment on how talented the band was. With our wedding on the smaller side, only 100 people, my main concern was the dance floor looking empty. Funk Evolution made sure that was not the case! As soon as they started playing, guests were up out of their seats. People were on their feet all night and had an absolute blast! Family and friends continue to comment on the music from that night when we see them. If you are looking for a band for your wedding, look no further, Funk Evolution is a must book!!!

Funk Evolution Entertainment is an incredible, energetic and outstanding performing group that is nothing short of top notch! Bliss Events had the opportunity of working with Christian of Funk Evolution who was always professional and accommodating. The band was able to ignite the crowd from the very beginning of the event and kept them in fire all night long! Each member of the band is truly talented and full of passion! I look forward to working with Funk Evolution Entertainment again!!!!!
I've worked with Funk Evolution and Rocco for over 15 years and several special events and weddings. Not only are they one of the most fun bands in the area to work with but they are also consummate professionals. Rocco is a great MC and really knows how to "work" the room and keep everyone dancing and having fun. I would highly recommend Funk Evolution for your next special event or wedding!
I can not say enough about Funk Evolution. I even find myself going out to their other gigs at times! They are professional, and the music is fantastic and fun. Such talent among these musicians. Your wedding would be complete if you hired them!
