    I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty!

    I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty! We had Funk Almighty play at our wedding and they were easily the highlight of the night. The energy, song selection, and sheer talent were unbelievable! Daryl, the band manager, is highly communicative and helped tailor music for every aspect of our day; we had an acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for cocktail hour, and their 10-person band for the reception. We also used Funk Almighty's MC service for the evening and Jared did a fantastic job ensuring the events stayed on schedule. What sets Funk Almighty apart from other bands is their energy, they had everyone on the dance floor! Our guests raved about the music and I can confidently say they were right, Funk Almighty is the best!

    Killer Job!

    Funk Almighty did a killer job! The highlight was how they seamlessly transitioned from hit to hit, like when they went from No Diggity to Yeah by Usher. My husband and I were screaming! And they kept the surprise shift in tunes coming. We couldn’t get enough! They also blended genres and made each moment of the evening feel unique and kept the energy high. Their understanding of the crowd's vibe and how they kept everyone engaged was so appreciated. I could go on forever but I recommend hiring them and finding out for yourselves!

    Unforgettable!!

    Having Funk Almighty at our wedding last year was both the cake and icing on top! It’s not just the usual band experience because on top of the great music some of the band stepped onto the dance floor with us, and that just blew our guests away! They danced and sang with us and our guests, bringing an amazing energy that was both intimate and exhilarating for us!! They even did a dance routine that all our guests caught on too and before we knew it everyone was doing the same dance. We looked at quite a few bands and we cannot recommend them enough because they made our wedding feel more like a shared experience with friends than a formal event. It was a highlight for many of our guests and truly showcased Funk Almighty's commitment to not just performing music but creating lasting memories, which was something Daryl promised us right off the bat. We're incredibly thankful for this special aspect of their performance and cannot recommend them enough if you’re looking for an unforgettable night!

    Would recommend!

    Funk Almighty was just awesome back in our October wedding. They were very adaptable and handled on-the-spot song requests well, and were accommodating when we needed to tweak the schedule. Their flexibility made the day run more smoothly. Would recommend!

    One of a kind!

    We were absolutely thrilled with Funk Almighty at our wedding, especially with their incredible rendition of a Taylor Swift song!!! When we mentioned our love for Taylor Swift, the band went above and beyond and created an entire medley of her hits. This wasn’t just another wedding band playing covers, it became a whole show that added their unique funk twist. I can’t begin express how cool it was to watch our request come to life like that!! Daryl and the team's ability to transform our simple request into such an elaborate and memorable piece was incredible. Easily the highlight of the evening. And it was such a personalized touch that made our special day even more unforgettable. Aside from that working with them was a breeze. The rest of the night was great too but I really can’t overstate how much we appreciate them for going above and beyond with our request. That’s true talent and creativity so we can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and making our wedding one of a kind!

    Best decision for our wedding!!

    Funk Almighty was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! From the beginning, Daryl, the band's manager, was a dream to communicate with – always quick to respond and incredibly accommodating to our needs. On the big day, they exceeded our expectations with one heck of a performance. Their setlist was a hit, blending different genres to cater to our very diverse group of guests. We gave them a heads up and they brought hits from the 70's all the way through the 2000's. What really set them apart was the band's chemistry and enthusiasm were infectious! They were having just as good a time we were and that made the dance floor the place to be all night! Despite a minor sound glitch at the start, they handled it with utmost professionalism. Their performance was a major highlight of our celebration that left us and our guests thoroughly impressed. We would wholeheartedly recommend Funk Almighty for their talent, but even more so the joy they'll bring to your wedding!!!!

    Get them for your wedding or event!

    These guys were amazing. My husband, dad and many other people who attended the wedding and are all musicians were so impressed and guests in general keep messaging me saying how great they were! Cannot recommend them enough. I was so excited too because they ended up playing a Sammy Rae song off the playlist I sent them (one of my favorite artists). We had a few of them play our ceremony too and as soon as heard them play something by the Beatles I immediately started tearing up. Get these guys for your wedding or event!

    Book them now!

    BOOK THEM NOW!! I really scoured the internet to find the right band to fit not only our personalities but also our wedding vibe. We truly just wanted to be on the dance floor the ENTIRE TIME and we were! Funk Almighty is what's up. They were incredibly easy to work with and killed our first song, Home. They kept the party going non stop with an amazing playlist and just their pure energy. I don't think the dance floor was empty once. We had the best ceremony and reception because of them. Will hire for other events going forward. Truly, the best! BOOK, BOOK, BOOK!

    We absolutely loved them!

    We hired Funk Almighty for our wedding on 9/3/23, and we absolutely loved them! We got so many compliments from our guests on how great they were. They kept the dance floor going all night long and were so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Highly recommend!

    Pleasure to work with!

    Peyton and his friends were a pleasure to work with and most importantly were very entertaining. We are very fortunate to have such a great group of musicians here in Bloomington for our community events. Music was fabulous.

    Highly recommend Funk Almighty!

    Funk Almighty was amazing for our June 2023 wedding! In the planning phase they gave us plenty of opportunity to go see them perform and know what we'd be getting by booking them. Daryl (the guitarist and band manager) was responsive, flexible, and understanding through all our communication from start to finish and worked really well with our other vendors. They did everything we could think of to be a perfect fit for our wedding plans, guests, and venue. As a musician and live music nut myself, the band was one of my top priorities for the wedding and I was really picky with the band's sound when we were choosing. This group is really talented both individually and as a group, the fun they have up there playing together is contagious, and they're extremely versatile in the music that's in their wheelhouse. They gathered a great sense for the kind of music we wanted from just a few pointers in the right direction. Like their name says, they get the bass line going and the people moving - we had guests out on the dance floor that we never thought we'd ever get dancing! Highly recommend Funk Almighty in whatever configuration and whichever members/size you might be thinking of! We had a great time working with them and wouldn't think twice about doing it again.

    I would highly recommend adding them to your wedding day!!!!!!

    Funk Almighty did an amazing job playing our ceremony and reception! We had a solo guitarist during our ceremony who did an amazing job learning and playing the songs we requested. During the reception, we had the 6-piece band play. The dance floor was always packed and the music was amazing. Outside of the wedding day, they were super easy to plan with, knowing exactly what to do to make everything go perfectly. I would highly recommend adding them to your wedding day!!!!!!

    If you are considering Funk Almighty for a wedding or private event, don't hesitate to book them!

    We hired Funk Almighty to help celebrate a double 40th birthday party for my husband and I. They were amazing to work with and their musical talent is extraordinary! The band was extremely flexible and accommodating when our outdoor event turned to indoors, due to the weather. Wish we could have heard more of them! Can't wait to see them play nearby someday in the near future. If you are considering Funk Almighty for a wedding or private event, don't hesitate to book them! You won't regret it!

    We had a great time dancing to their music at an event. Upbeat and classy without being overwhelming at a large dinner!

    Daryl and the band were outstanding!

    Daryl and the band were outstanding! Played super fun current pop favorites for the kids and lots of 70s funk for us Gen X party animals. HUGE talents here. Tons of horns for the bride's dancing pleasure. They rocked it! We had a blast and recommend highly!

    Wedding Reception

    Funk Almighty performed for our reception last fall and it was an amazing time! The music was great, but what really made them special was the energy and performance they brought with them. Between the choice of songs and the show the put on for us and our guests, we would highly recommend them for anyone looking for top tier entertainment.

    Too Good To Be At Weddings

    Funk Almighty is an amazing band that has the greatest potential to actually make it big. They are extremely talented musicians and singers and have the greatest presence. Everyone was asking us all night for their information as they couldn’t believe how incredible they were. Their stage presence is out of this world that they even had a guitar and sax solo in the middle of the dance floor! I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about them!
