Had a great night at our wedding with the Moon Units!
Found the The Moon Units online and booked them for our wedding and it was a pleasure having them. Dylan was awesome and easy to work with. Always professional and responsive. Everybody At the wedding absolutely loved them, they were the talk of the party other than me and my new wife Hazel. They were the best, and would recommend them with no hesitation to anyone. I want to thank them again for a great night, they made our wedding so memorable. =)The Moon Units's reply:

Adrian T. Sent on 06/11/2024Fantastic Wedding Experience with The Moon Units!
We had the pleasure of having The Moon Units perform at our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! We enjoyed working with Dylan, he was incredibly accommodating and responsive throughout the entire process. From the initial planning stages to our big day, Dylan and the band were very professional, helping us sort out all the specific details well in advance. One of the highlights was when they specially learned a song for our first dance. It was such a personal touch that made the moment unforgettable.
They also performed a beautiful acoustic rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love" for our ceremony, which was perfect. They kept the energy high and the good vibes all night long. They curated a great set list for us and played a wonderful mix of oldies, classic rock hits, and modern pop that we and our guests loved.
We can't recommend The Moon Units enough. They made our wedding night super fun and memorable. Check out their youtube/instagram and see for yourself why you should book them. I suggest just reaching out for an initial email/phone call w/ Dylan, who is friendly and a pleasure to work with.The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you, Adrian! Such an honor to play for you and Vicki at such a wonderful celebration. We loved your taste in music, and we had so much fun playing for you. Thank you again! -

James S. Sent on 04/23/2024Stop looking. You found your Music.
We reached out to The Moon Units to see if they could play our wedding and reception.
Let. Me. Tell. You. This.
We had no idea what a gem we were getting.
From start to finish this group was amazing.
In the very beginning, Dylan reached out to ask questions and get a feel for what we wanted.
We talked through the timeline and "vibe" and with every question he had multiple ideas and options of how to make it work.
Our wedding was very DIY.
So to have someone on the other end that was calm, kind and super professional made all the world of difference to us.
When it came to the music...
They crushed it.
Crushed it.
We had SO many of our guests tell us they were one of the highlights of the evening.
You want to have a calm musical presence that doesn't add stress to your crazy day?

You want your guests to dance all night long??
The. Moon. Units.
I should also say this.
I am a professional musician myself, so this is not coming TOTALLY from a gushing groom that's obsessed with his own wedding.
These guys gave everything we hoped for and more.
Please make it easy on yourself and let your guests dance and have an absolute party.
My wife and I truly couldn't have hoped for a better experience.The Moon Units's reply:
James, you and Austin are simply the best, and we were beyond thrilled to play for you. It was a beautiful day filled with love and positivity, and it was an honor to be entrusted with all things live music. Thank you so much! -

Christine A. Sent on 06/04/2024Best part of the night!
The Moon Units were hands down the best part of our night. They played during and after dinner for us. They nailed the vibe of our party and played music that was a hit with all the guests. The musicians were amazing and they really brought an amazing energy. Everyone told me how much they loved the band and the venue owner asked for their name to recommend to other couples. Communication leading up to the wedding was great. They did an amazing job learning new songs for us (we gave them a real wild card) and brought so much energy. They even played a few bars In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida spur of the moment as a request from my dad. All the musicians were incredible and they were really able to get a solid depth of repertoire. Couldn't recommend the Moon Units more!!!!The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you, Christine! Everyone in the band had a BLAST playing for you and Trevor. An amazing party and an amazing couple. It was an honor to be included! -

Elena C. Sent on 12/31/2023Best wedding band EVER
The Moon Units are far and away the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. They have such amazing talent, such fun personalities, and such mindblowing versatility. Everything about working with them was a breeze, from the song selection to the timeline planning to the last minute adjustments a week before the wedding. A lot of the other groups we researched had a fixed setlist where they play the same thing at every wedding. The Moon Units let us pick our favorites from their enormous song list, and they also learned three new songs just for us. Special shout out to the horn section—they were POPPING the whole night! And I must mention that their saxophonist is very talented and a gem of the band. I really cannot recommend The Moon Units enough. 5 stars across the board!
The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you so much, Elena! We had a total blast playing for you and didn't want the night to end. And I 100% agree about the horn section, and Ross in particular! Thank you again! -

Stephanie D. Sent on 12/28/2023Superb and magical experience working with The Moon Units!!!
What can we say about The Moon Units that would adequately describe our experience of working with them? Next to deciding to propose to my bride, selecting The Moon Units was our next best decision! It might seem cliché, but it feels clandestine that they were to be the band that my bride and I would hire to perform at our wedding. Music is very important us. We believe that music can set the tone for an event, so it was of the utmost importance to my bride and I that we find the perfect band for our wedding. After weeks of searching for the right band, and seeing footage of many competent but corporately concocted “bands” my bride discovered The Moon Units. The name alone had me sold! (My bride and I have had many cosmic coincidences and blessing in our relationship, so the celestial name alone was enough to pique my interest!) That said, once I saw their superb musicianship and that they are an actual working band, my interest was even stronger. After a quick call with Dylan, we were struck by his kind, personable demeanor, his easy, yet very professional manner and inquisitive interest in us as a couple and our musical tastes, we were sold! It was a refreshing experience after weeks of calls and zoom meetings with some impersonal and caustic corporate event organizations. By being extremely flexible with accommodating and collaborative with our special requests, The Moon Units took time and special care to provide a comprehensive approach to ensure that the sound for our wedding was perfect. My bride and I knew that were in such good hands, The Moon Units not only provided the entertainment for our reception, an acoustic quintet made up of members of the band provided music for our ceremony, and Dylan personally handled coordinating the string quartet that played our cocktail reception.
Writer/Comedian Larry David said that when hiring writers for Seinfeld, “many times it came down who was an ‘easy hang’.” In other words, whom would you like to spend so much time with. Dylan and all members of the Moon Units are the definition of an “easy hang.” After seeing their performances, witnessing their superb musicianship and the time that we spent with them at one of their gigs between sets, it was like seeing and hanging out with old friends. The laughs and smiles were quick. After a few minutes they began their second set and we were blown away with their musicianship! Sophie has the voice of an angel yet such incredible range and versatility, Jamey has a superb voice and charisma. Just when you think Mikey is just an excellent keyboardist, here he comes out-front to bring down the house by singing a tune with his rich deep voice. Not since Earth, Wind & Fire’s bassist Verdine White, has there been as great a bassists who can smile, sing and dance all while playing an infectious groove on bass! The Moon Unit’s Brian does that and so much more! Of course, as the legendary James Brown said, “you’ve got to give the drummer some,” The Moon Unit’s excellent drummer Taylor holds it all together giving the show a heartbeat to it all and expertly handing all of the different time signatures. The Moon Unit’s Saxophonist, Ross absolutely nails each solo and the accompanying horn players gave such warmth and depth to the arrangements. Their sound rivals any current Chicago and/or Steely Dan performance.
My bride and I are not what would be classified as dancers of any sort. Many of our hand selected songs were not typical dance music. However, with a band this good, you cannot help but get up and move! Special kudos and praise for their superb rendition of Earth, Wind, & Fire’s ‘September’, one of our favorite songs. Throughout what was a magical evening, the common denominator was the music of The Moon Units. From a stirring rendition of Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’; to Anita Baker’s ‘Same Ol’ Love’ (365 Days a Year); to Paul Simon’s, ‘You Can Call Me Al” (complete with superb bass solo, trumpet and music video choreography; to Duran Duran’s “Rio”; to the New Radicals’ anthem, ‘You Get What You Give’ it all was an incredible evening because of the music, and because that music was played and sang by gifted and talented musicians and singers. All of this is held together by the superb leadership of Dylan, who is a great band leader and a master a putting together a great setlist, understanding and working an audience, and on top of those skills, throw in his excellent playing both lead and rhythm guitar and executing perfect guitar solos.
I could go on and on about our superb and magical experience working with The Moon Units; however, I will just make the friendly suggestion that you see, hear and experience them for yourself! You will not be disappointed. And you will be looking for any excuse to book them again, just like my bride and I!The Moon Units's reply:
Aaron and Stephanie, I want to frame this review. Thank you for these beautiful sentiments. And thank you for choosing us to play your wedding. It was such an honor, and we loved every minute of it. Truly unforgettable. -

William K. Sent on 09/19/2023The Moon Units rocked!
We hired the Moon Units for our daughter’s wedding in Camarillo in early September 2023. We could not have been happier with our choice! Dylan was great to work with, both in the planning stages and at the final event. And the band totally rocked their sets, especially the two lead singers who blew away our guests. And although they’re great performers, we never got the vibe that they were showing off or trying to steal the spotlight; they beautifully made the audience’s dancing and enjoyment the most important aspect. Bottom line: they hit the perfect note for this kind of party.
I’m a professional classical musician, so I had a pretty good understanding of what might be involved with working with a wedding band. Dylan was really helpful and accommodating in the pre-planning to all of our needs and requests. I was pretty amazed at the list of repertoire that they had available: over 500 tunes! And the band learned three tunes specifically by request of the bride and groom, including a tricky and obscure anime soundtrack piece.
At the actual event, the whole group was the epitome of helpfulness and professionalism. We had a pretty complicated setup for the sound tech, including providing live sound for the ceremony area, playback for the cocktail hour area, and a live performance set of family musicians at the reception area. Dave was great to work with, quickly setting levels and mixing the different inputs for the open mic set. And the volume levels for the band’s sets (first, a jazz trio at dinner and later the dance-party set with the whole band) were at the perfect volume to allow for conversation while still being present.
I can’t recommend the Moon Units any higher for a wedding; they were great to work with before, during and after the party, and their price-point was very competitive. All of the musicians were top-level, and the groove of the band showed how much time and experience they have playing together. The singers, especially the lovely woman in the group, were exceptional, both in intonation and style. My advice: book ‘em!
The Moon Units's reply:
This really means a lot coming from you, Bill. We were so honored to play a role in such a special day. Your family put together a beautiful wedding with MANY great musicians in attendance, and we felt so gratified to be a part of it all. Thank you again. -

Kate M. Sent on 03/15/2023The band was the best part of the night
Want your wedding to be unforgettable? HIRE THE MOON UNITS! Of all of the details of my reception, the one element that ended up being flawless was their music. This band is so incredibly talented, and there is nothing like live (and awesome!) music to fill a space. We had the absolute best time of our lives doing Live Band Karaoke. It's such a unique element to add, and their song list is insanely vast! I'm so grateful to this band and their talent for setting such an awesome vibe for me and my guests. What a night... thanks to The Moon Units.The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you, Kate! We had so much fun... with such a fantastic group of people! An awesome celebration for everyone involved. :) -

Best Wedding Band Ever!!!!!
Truly the best wedding band that I've ever seen. We had the pleasure of hiring them, and it took our whole wedding to the next level. Their song list is what sets them apart and makes them so great. Even a month after our wedding, people are still raving about how good The Moon Units were.
In all my life, and all of the weddings that I've attended, I've never seen a dance floor packed from beginning to end. I also got to have one of the best moments in my musical career by playing guitar on stage with them.
So if you are still considering what band to hire, stop now, and just hire the Moon Units. You will not be disappointed, and will have the time of your life!
The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you so much, Luke. It was truly an awesome wedding from start to finish, and we had a blast! So glad we got to play for you. -

Andrew C. Sent on 09/06/2022The Moon Units, a band full of sincerity, heart, and class.
The Moon Units are a real class act. Charismatic, enthusiastic, sincere, and full of gusto. Their range was incredible and played the perfect songs for each portion of our wedding to get the right vibe and energy for the moment. Dylan the band leader worked closely with us in the months leading up to the wedding to select the perfect set list, coordinate with our wedding venue, and accommodate the moments we had planned to make our day special and personal. During the entire experience he was nothing but professional and kind. He was a true gentleman. His band plays beautifully and brought a ton of energy to the wedding. My guests were razzled and dazzled all night and had nothing but positive things to tell us afterwards. Sophie and Jamey sang so beautifully that I was moved to tears. Brian performed an amazing guitar solo to a cover of Bye Bye Bye and my guests were eating it up the whole time. Curtis was killing it on the keys. Each and every band member that I had the pleasure of meeting during the wedding were so kind and so friendly. Everything went ahead smoothly and we were able to work with Dylan and the band to find solutions and alternatives to all the hiccups that naturally occur when planning such an important event. The Moon Units come highly recommended from both my wife and myself. We could not have been any happier with our decision to choose live music over hiring a DJ. The band was one of the most memorable parts of the night and the experience would have been completely different without them. I could feel a true sincerity from them and their performance. They were having a great time and it came through in every song. The dance floor was never empty. If would book them again for another event if I could. In fact I hope my friends and family book them for their own weddings and events. If any of the band are reading this please know I loved every minute of it and you have my deepest thanks for everything you guys did, especially playing the song I requested for that personal moment. Thank you all.The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you, Andrew! We had a wonderful time celebrating with you and getting to spend time with you and Lisa. Hope we get to see you soon! -

Jeff L. Sent on 09/05/2022The Moon Units were the absolute highlight of our wedding celebration and perfect in every way!
This is truly a special group of people and an incredible band. Their high-level energy and talent made for such an unforgettable time. Everything about the experience was top-notch and professional. Dylan, the band leader and point of contact leading up to our event, was wonderful to work with. He always stayed in constant communication and worked with us directly to get every detail right. Obviously, a lot of planning and preparation goes into a wedding, so it was comforting to know I could rely on him and not have to worry about that aspect of our wedding at all. They have an epic catalog of songs to choose from to craft a perfect playlist, and they even learned a few additional songs just for us! Their rates are also extremely reasonable relative to what you find around Los Angeles (and I did a TON of research). Overall, it was by far the best investment we could have made, and the memories The Moon Units were able to provide for us and our guests made for what is surely one of the best nights of our lives. Thank you!The Moon Units's reply:
Thank you, Jeff! It was such a wonderful night, and we were honored to be a part of it. Beautiful stuff, all the way through. -

I would hire The Moon Units again and again. They made our wedding an absolute blast and everything we could have imagined. We rescheduled our wedding 4 times due to the pandemic, and they were constantly gracious and accommodating and nothing short of wonderful. They were amazing performers and our guests loved the karaoke and can’t stop talking about it. Price was the same as a DJ and we got an unforgettable experience and dance party.The Moon Units's reply:
Thanks so much, Courtney. It was a wonderful night from beginning to end, and we were so happy to play a role in it.
