FIVE STAR REVIEW ALERT 🚨

Y’ALL....💃🏼 I can’t thank The Phunky Monkeys enough for making my April 27th wedding at Nottoway Plantation UNFORGETTABLE!! They were FIRST CLASS! My guests did not leave the dance floor all night and people are STILL talking about how AWESOME they were! I couldn’t have dreamed of better entertainment for my wedding. These people are CrAzY talented❗️ I would hire them again and again and again! AMAZING!!

Worth Every Penny!

The Phunky Monkeys are professional, talented beyond belief, entertaining, kind, fun, engaging, and non-stop! As a couple we decided that booking the best wedding band we could find was a priority. The band really can MAKE the party. And, PM did just that. Our guests didn't even want to take a break for the bathroom for fear of missing the next song! They even learned 2 or 3 songs for our first dance and dances with our parents.

Absolutely Mind-Blowing!

I did a destination wedding in New Orleans and have been obsessed with this band ever since seeing one of their videos, but nothing prepares you for how incredible this band is at a wedding. Our coordinator and vendor said they’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor the entire night, we couldn’t stop dancing! I continue to get SO many compliments from our guests on the band and for me and my partner, it made our wedding day.

The Phunky Monkeys were AMAZING!!!

We had the pleasure of having the Phunky Monkeys play at my daughter's wedding last weekend (DiCarlo/Crouch Wedding) in New Orleans. From the beginning of our correspondence (nine months prior), until the day of the event and after, the Phunky Monkeys were exceptionally professional. Michael was extremely easy to work with and was always responsive and detail oriented.

I wish I could give these guys 50 stars

They were phenomenal, professional, and easy to work with. During the mother-son dance, my mother-in-law thought they were playing a record- nope, their Louis Armstrong is that good. They played everything from Prince and Queen to the Friends theme song and SEC fight songs. My uncle said they're the best band he's seen in his almost 50-year career.

The Phunky Monkeys is where it's at!!!!

They played for my daughter's wedding and were phenomenal!. Everyone was pleased and said where they go they will follow. They were so awesome, they interacted with the crowd and even sang to my 90-year-old mother, who never missed a dance in her wheelchair. Best band ever!!! I will highly recommend this band! Our family can't stop talking about them!
