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.

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.

Best experience ever!

If you need an incredible band to set the mood for your incredible party or wedding, you CAN'T go wrong with Queer as Funk. Having them perform at our wedding was amazing and I can't picture the day without them! They are all phenomenal musicians on their own, and together they're mind-blowing! Book them if you can!!

best band ever!

These guys ROCKED our wedding. Not only were they TOTAL pros, handling the delays and unexpected turns required of a big party, but they were sooooo nice and accommodating of our every request. They played requests, and even learned a tune for the occasion. They played a great Hava Nagila for a big Hora dance, were super nice to our guests, and gave a great show that kept us all dancing right till the end of the party.

Incredibly talented, fun, unique band and GREAT at throwing a party!

My wife and I are SO happy with our decision to hire Queer as Funk for our wedding reception. What a blast it was. They played songs for all generations and are extremely talented. They are also interactive and fun - real crowd pleasers. Alison was incredibly helpful and responsive before the event as well, and even met us for coffee to chat about exactly what we wanted from. We couldn't be happier and can't wait to see them again when they are playing next near us!

Best Wedding Band You Can Hire!

They are amazing. The dance floor was full and hopping all night long. I have had many of our guests come up to us at and after the wedding to say how great the band was. They were a joy to deal with as well. If you want a great band for your wedding, HIRE THEM!!!!!!!

This group of fabulous people know their stuff, they put their heart and soul into their performances and your family and friends will talk about YOUR wedding for a long long time!!

You need Queer as Funk at your wedding or next event!!

We hired Queer as Funk to play at our wedding in August of 2018 and we can not say enough good things about them. They truly made our wedding an amazing experience and our guests are still talking about them months later. They were a pleasure to deal with, responded quickly to all of our emails and addressed any questions promptly and professionally.

They were, without a doubt, the highlight and our favourite part of our wedding and we can't recommend them highly enough.

Simply, the best

When we envisioned getting married, we always imagined having Queer As Funk as part of the day. We are longtime fans of their music (greatest dance band in town!), their politics and the band members as people. Everything about working with them exceeded our expectations. They were flexible, professional, full of great song suggestions and ideas, and most importantly their music was exquisite. We strongly recommend them for any occasion.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
