Testimonials


"We wanted to thank you again so so so so much for making our wedding such an amazing evening! You guys absolutely rock! All of our guests said that Funky Business was one of the best wedding bands they had ever seen! We had never been at a wedding with an encore request so that was truly special and a testament to how hard y'all rock! ... And thank you for taking the time to learn our song requests and absolutely crush them!  We hope to see you all again soon."

-Joel & Kelly (November 2023)


"You guys were incredible and gave us a better experience  than we ever could have imagined. We got so many compliments on the music and the energy you guys brought to the party. We saw people on the dance floor that we’ve never ever seen dance before! One of our guests (my second cousin) has a daughter who just got engaged and lives in Fort Collins and we will definitely be sharing your contact info!  

Thank you again for an amazing and memorable night. You guys are the best and we will be writing a glowing review!" 

-Lauren & Carlos (September 2023)


"Thank y’all so much for making our wedding and reception so special!!! We had the best night of our lives thanks to y’all. Numerous people came up to us saying it was the best wedding they ever went to and that y’all absolutely rocked the house. We certainly are a rowdy crowd so thanks for bringing and matching the energy hahah, the Ole Miss slogan famously is “We may not win the game, but we never lose a party!” We definitely won the party that night. The highlight for me was coming onstage and singing Hard to Handle with you. There are soooo many funny videos and photos of that! We definitely want to see y’all again!! Let us know next time you’re playing a gig that’s open to a crowd and we will for sure come. Sad we didn’t get a picture with you all!! Many thanks again!! Much love.”

"We couldn't have asked for a better band for our Aspen wedding in October 2022. Wedding guests told us it was the best wedding band they'd ever heard. Before the wedding, Funky Business was very easy to work with. They handled all the sound equipment for our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. We had a couple song requests for our first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son dance. They mastered all 3 songs and made them their own. They played beautiful music for the ceremony and upbeat jazz music for our cocktail hour. They were on time and set up everything ahead of time with no stress. Most importantly, they brought the house down for the reception. The dance floor was full all night, which was a testament to Funky Business's skill and energy. They played a wide variety of hit-after-hit that was perfect for our multi-generational crowd. They included friends and family, passing around a tambourine and the microphone throughout the night. To anyone that is looking for a band for their wedding, we can not recommend Funky Business enough."

"Rae and the entire Funky Business Band is great to work with. As a wedding planner, I really appreciated their communication, understanding of wedding day flow, and positive attitude. They make sure guests are having a great time and create a memorable experience. I could tell how much they care about the wedding going well! Rae even suggested a photo opp for all the guests. They put on a GREAT performance and I will definitely be recommending them to my other couples. 5 stars!!"

"Ryan and I just wanted to extend a big thank you to you all for being an amazing addition to our day. Our guests have done nothing but say “that band was awesome!!!” You guys & gals brought the HEAT and really turned it into a party that ourselves and our guests will never forget. I feel so lucky to have crossed paths with you all last November as I can’t imagine anyone else turning the notch as high up on the party as Funky Business did. Your energy & interaction with the crowd truly went a very long way as our friends were visibly having the time of their lives. I know our timeline ran a little longer than expected and for you to skip out on your break to fit in more playing time was very kind and did not go unnoticed by Ryan & I. I hope clean up and the hotels went smoothly for you all. We can’t wait to make a Funky Business part of our yearly tradition as a married couple. Thank you so so incredibly much!!!!!"

“We are SO happy that we booked Funky Business for multiple different reasons. First, the music was incredible!! We went with the full band and we are so glad that we did. All of the musicians are very talented and have great stage presence. They played so many of our favorite party songs and they had all of our friends and family up and dancing all night! They also do a great job of interacting with the crowd. And they totally crushed our first dance song- “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”!

Second, Rae is the friendliest and easiest person to talk with. My partner and I are not the most organized people and Rae helped is with SO many things!! Funky Business helped us with our timeline, provided the PA system for our ceremony (my cousin played live guitar), they emcee’d our whole reception and they helped us problem solve when the weather unexpectedly changed (typical CO)!

We had the best wedding day ever and Funky Business played a big part of that! Book this band!!”

 -Erin and Mitch (September 2022)


“When looking to book a band for our wedding, we knew we wanted one that would bring the party, and we also wanted a horn section. Funky Business brought this and so much more! I cannot count the amount of guests that have reached out to us after the wedding and said this was the most fun they had and that the band killed it! The process of booking them and working with them was so seamless, and they were patient as my partner and I took time to decide about certain first dance songs. They even brought extra equipment and mikes for our ceremony as well. Their jazz for cocktail hour was incredible, and made the event feel even more elegant. I wish I could re-live this reception everyday Thank you!”

-Grace & Vi (August 2021)


“This band is amazing!! Rae is GREAT to work with and an amazing vocalist. If you hire them you will NOT be disappointed. They made our wedding absolutely perfect. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. They even learned several songs for us such as "867-5309." They also had a violinist and cellist play during our ceremony. It was impeccable. Thank you, Funky Business!!!”

“Funky Business Band,
First, you’re the absolute best. In every way. From the first time we met with you at Jessup Farm, we knew we were making the best decision in choosing you to light up the dance floor.
Then, when we thought you couldn’t get cooler, you recorded our first dance song on our should-have-been wedding day.
You all are class, fun, kindness, and cool all wrapped into one. We can’t express our gratitude enough for all of you. AND we can’t wait to dance & celebrate the night away with you!
Thank you so much!”

-Andrew & Ashley (July 2021)


“If you’re looking to get people up, dancing, and having the BEST time...you need this band. Funky Business played my wedding and EVERYONE came up to me and RAVED about how much fun the band was! We had the absolute best time at our wedding!!”

“Funky Business can rock it any where!! Wow, you all know how to entertain and make a crowd move! Thank you for visiting us at Lake 6 for an end of season send off!”

-Michaela (September 2020, 2021, 2022)


“Holy cow! That is all I can think to say! Funky Business did BEYOND an amazing job at our wedding. 95% of the guest were out of their chairs and dancing, even after a delay due to a random windstorm. I cannot speak more highly of this band and the truly fantastic job they did at our wedding! Thank you guys so much! I would recommend this band 20 times over.”

“It was like fate that I got set up with Rae and the rest of the Funky Business guys for my September 2019 wedding. Honestly, they made the entire experience absolutely perfect! Funky Business Band puts their heart and soul into their set list. They had all my aunts and uncles (in their 80s and 90s, mind you) out on the dance floor moving to the beat, there just wasn't a still person in the house. Every single one of my guests came up to me at the end of the night to rave about the band. Literally the most talented, upbeat, energetic, enthusiastic group of musicians I have and am sure will ever enjoy. If you are on the fence about whether these guys are for you, let me just save you the trouble...BOOK THEM! Book them NOW! You will 100% not regret this decision, it will be the easiest you make in your event planning endeavors. By the end of the night, I just wanted to take Rae home with me, that girl can hit some crazy notes even though she's this adorable, tiny little thing. She has a voice like Christina Aguilera! I think we all had crushes on her pretty much from the get go. Thank you guys for being the highlight of my wedding day, and making the night unforgettable (and, from the dancing, the best workout I have had in a long, long time.”

-Carrie (September 2019)


"Funky Business was amazing. Their infectious love of music and performing set the tone for the party. Although ours was a corporate event, and not a dance party, adults and kids alike were tapping their feet or all out dancing. By the end, many were dancing with the band! They're an extremely talented group and they perform "all in". Loved them, will book them again!"

“We hired Funky Business for my sisters wedding and they were AWESOME! They played classic songs that everyone could dance to, sounded great and were easy to work with. Thanks so much!!”

-Talia (April 2019)


“I am still blown away by you and your band. Your level of service and attention to detail leading up to the event was top notch. You kept me at ease and I never once doubted that anything would go wrong. I really appreciate all of your help with the MCing of toasts and your flexibility in the schedule. You guys rocked the house. You did an incredible job with all of the special song requests/first dances, you kept to the schedule, and you got everyone dancing! It was so fun to see you all coming out into the crowd and interacting with the guests. You made everyone feel special and they had an amazing time. Thank you for making my first event easy. I really hope to work with you all again in the future.”

“Funky Business did an AMAZING job for our last minute wedding. Rae and the team were so amazing to work with. They played the music we requested which was different from the traditional wedding music. It made our ceremony so special. I would highly recommend Funky Business again!”

-Lauren (October 2018)


“Awesome, Talented & FUN!!! Fabulous time at The Stanley Hotel celebrating Allie and Reed!!! These guys didn’t just perform, they were interactive, prepared, and inclusive in the celebration. Everything was spot on! Can’t wait to hear Funky Business again!”

"This band is amazing! We were really on the fence on whether we wanted to get a band for our wedding, but this band absolutely made the reception what it was. They were awesome in doing our special wedding dance requests and most of all playing a variety of music from bluegrass to Jazz. Everybody young and old couldn't stop asking us where we found this band. If you are thinking about booking a band, seriously, just ask Funky Business. Thank you for making our wedding reception to special!!"

"Funky Business Band is amazing!! They always have people on their feet dancing! Whether its the smaller part of their band which is jazz or if they have their 9 piece band playing.  The best was at the Rio in Old Town Fort Collins during the FOCOMX earlier this summer.  They rocked the place, everyone was dancing!! Very fun group, very talented musicians! We are huge fans!!"
