The Best of the Best!!!

There are absolutely no words to describe how amazing GBS Party Band is! We had been on quite a journey with John and the band for over 3.5 years (thanks Covid) and they were there every single step of the way lending a helping hand (and ear, John heard lots of tears hahaha) in any way possible! The band was and still is the talk of our wedding, having the dance floor PACKED from beginning to end. We had such a blast at our wedding thanks to The Goody Blue Shoes. We cannot recommend them enough to everyone we know planning their own wedding. No need to look any further, you have found the band you’ve been looking for right here and will never have a worry in the world as far as entertainment goes the days leading up to your own special day! We love you GBS!!

Best wedding band ever

If you are looking for an amazing wedding band that guests will not stop talking about The Goody Blue Shoes are that band! We got married in Cape May 5 hours from where we live. An amazing live band was the most important thing we wanted at our wedding. We are fortunate to live in an area that in the summer has endless bars with live music. It is our favorite thing to do but we are also very picky. We had full intentions of hiring one of the local bands we love and having them make the trip. After one meeting with John of The Goody Blue Shoes that all changed. His energy, expertise, and good vibes are infectious. You can tell that this is more than just a job to him and he goes above and beyond to build a relationship with his clients. Even though he had other events going on we always felt like we were his only couple and he always made time for us. John goes over every detail and was almost like having a second wedding planner. His main goal is to make your wedding day perfect in any way that he can. No is not in John's vocabulary if you want something he will make it happen. We could not have been happier with the whole planning process and John made it as stress-free as possible. The band is incredible, our guests cannot stop talking about the band and how amazing they sounded. We had one guest tell us they wished they had heard them before booking their band. They said they are 300 times better than the band they hired and would have flown The Goody Blue Shoes to Maryland! Another guest told us it took him a minute to realize that it was the female vocalist who was singing during our ceremony not a recording. These are just a few of the many amazing things our guests had to say about The Goody Blue Shoes. They will learn all your first dance songs and even learned a few of our favorite songs that we love to see live. They will not just learn the songs you request but crush them and make them as special as the original versions! John is also an amazing MC, all night he keeps the party rolling and makes sure everything happens as intended. Hiring the Goody Blue Shoes was the best decision we made and we can say confidently that our wedding would not have been the same without them. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and we felt they went above and beyond what we paid them for. John, I cannot thank you and the Band enough for making our wedding night perfect. Right from the beginning we told you we wanted our wedding to be a huge party where everyone was dancing, and you exceeded all expectations. We will miss our planning calls, texts, and Zoom calls but we will definitely be partying with you guys again soon!

An incredible wedding band in talent, professionalism, care, and price

I recently had the absolute pleasure of having Goody Blue Shoes as our wedding band, and I cannot express how incredibly thrilled we were with their performance and presence. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing, and a significant part of that credit goes to the exceptional service provided by John, the band's point person.
John went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding music was not just a playlist, but a personalized and unforgettable experience. His dedication was evident from the multiple meetings we had to discuss our preferences and to customize every detail to match our vision. What truly set John and Goody Blue Shoes apart was his genuine interest in making our wedding unique.
One of the standout qualities was John's incredible memory and attention to detail. He took the time to remember not only our names but even our grandparents' names. He even gifted us with our favorite drink at the reception. This personal touch added a level of warmth and familiarity that made the entire celebration feel even more special. It's these small, thoughtful gestures that truly set Goody Blue Shoes apart from the rest.
When it came to the music, Goody Blue Shoes exceeded all expectations. The band played a curated selection of songs that resonated with our tastes, creating an atmosphere that perfectly reflected the essence of our relationship. Their ability to read the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor throughout the night was something that dozens of guests continue to rave about well after the wedding was over.
If you're in the process of considering a wedding band, look no further than Goody Blue Shoes. The level of professionalism, dedication, and talent they bring to the table is unparalleled. Trust me when I say that having Goody Blue Shoes play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process. They not only met our expectations but far exceeded them, making our day truly unforgettable. Thank you, John, and the entire Goody Blue Shoes band, for making our wedding celebration absolutely magical!
