The most amazing and engaging band!!!

I cannot begin to put into words how amazing this band is. One of the few things we knew from the beginning of our wedding planning process was that if we could pull off a live band, that is what we wanted. We love to dance and our friends/family have always loved a good party. Matchmaker band did the most amazing job keeping everyone entertained and up and dancing all night!!

I dreaded the idea of music selection but they made it so simple with a list of loves and a list of avoids. This took so much stress off of us and they did such a great job picking songs that matched the vibe we told them we were going for and the songs that we provided on our "Love it" list. They also read the room perfectly and did a great job of matching the vibe of the moment.

Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they are very talented entertainers. The singers had matching dance moves and even came out onto the dance floor to interact with people and get everyone hyped up. The number one compliment we got after our wedding was how amazing our band was, and we have had multiple people ask for their information for future weddings/events. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS BAND AGAIN. They are truly amazing and worth every penny you invest if you're looking to have great music for entertainment and dancing.

The best decision ever!

We had the Matchmaker Wedding Band perform at our wedding reception at the Austin Country Club, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From the moment they started playing, they had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away. Their energy and talent were infectious, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that truly made our special day even more magical.

The band's versatility was impressive, effortlessly covering a wide range of genres that appealed to all our guests. Whether it was a classic love song or a modern hit, they performed each piece with incredible skill and passion. Their seamless transitions and ability to read the crowd ensured that the dance floor was always packed.

The Matchmaker Wedding Band was also a dream to work with. They were professional, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our event perfect. They took the time to understand our preferences and delivered a performance that exceeded all our expectations.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band and how much fun they had. We are so grateful to the Matchmaker Wedding Band for providing the soundtrack to our perfect night. If you're looking for a wedding band that will make your reception unforgettable, look no further. They are simply the best!

Thank you, Matchmaker Wedding Band, for an incredible evening!

A Night to Remember

Our wedding was an absolute smashing success, and we owe a huge part of that to The Matchmaker Band. They went above and beyond by learning our First Dance song—even though it was previously unfamiliar to them—and performed it with amazing musical craftsmanship. It sounded just like the original recording!
Each member of the band is a fabulous entertainer. The way they engaged our guests and encouraged them to P-A-R-T-Y was second to none. Their energy and charisma were contagious, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
In my opinion, The Matchmaker Band is hands down the best event band in Texas. My advice to anyone planning an event: do NOT scrimp on the band. It truly makes all the difference. Everyone who attended our wedding has been raving about how it was the best wedding they have EVER attended. Long after the food and cake are forgotten, our guests will remember the incredible performance by The Matchmaker Band—probably for years to come!
Thank you, Moontower Entertainment and The Matchmaker Band, for making our wedding day extraordinary!
