Best Wedding Dance Band Ever
I LOVE this band. They are exciting, tight, playing both old-school r&b, funk and soul AND up to date numbers; the energy never lagged, the band was SO fun to watch as well as dance to. It was my wedding day and I was exhausted, but I could NOT. STOP. DANCING. They even emailed me beforehand to ask what song we wanted for our first dance, and gave me suggestions. And any band that has that much fun on stage should be at your wedding. Great value! Plus, we're as queer as the band is, which is lovely to have that reflection of our community on stage.

The best band ever
Queer as Funk was the absolute highlight of our wedding. Such talent, such energy, such a great party! They have so much fun on stage, but not even close to how much we were having listening and dancing to them. Highly recommend.

Queer as Funk - what an epic and amazing experience !
An evening with Queer as Funk is one of the most fun nights we have had in a long time ! We saw them on New Years Eve and they rocked the Wise Hall ! The energy they put out and how they got the crowd up and dancing was infectious. We were thinking about hiring them for our wedding, and that night we walked home and couldn't stop talking about how they were going to make the wedding something really special.
From the moment we inquired with Alison, she was super informative and professional- she responded to all of our questions quickly, and was really helpful - from helping us decide the best place to set up to ensure the guests had a great time, to providing us with some great song list options. Unfortunately, we have had to put our 2020 wedding plans on hold like many other couples, and Queer as Funk was the most flexible vendor we worked with. During such a difficult and stressful time, they were so accommodating and genuinely supportive- made us feel that they really cared about us even during the chaos and stress of the last year.
We will 100% be booking with them once we are able to re-schedule our wedding.

Ian, this is so kind, thank you! I’m so glad you made it out to party with us on NYE. While we’re sad the big wedding celebration got postponed, we’ll have to have you and Mariella out on another occasion to celebrate your beautiful marriage and family.

Queer as Funk
Hiring Queer As Funk for the after party to our wedding was the best decision we made (after choosing each other, of course). We live on a small island and invited the whole community to join the party. Months later, everyone is still raving about it and asking when the band is coming back. People were up and dancing from the moment Queer As Funk took the stage until DJ Slade closed out the night. Alison was amazing to work with and the band totally rocked it. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat! Queer As Funk was the perfect way to celebrate our queer love, marriage and community.
