Description
When you book Secret Service for an event, you're not hiring a 'typical wedding/function band'. You're enlisting 'event experts' - a group of talented, highly experienced, professional musicians,(and genuinely good guys), specializing in fun and upbeat rock and roll from the archives of the last four decades. Secret Service puts a unique spin on both classic and newer rock, as well as blues, soul, and jazz. Their image and high-energy performances are designed to get entire rooms on their feet, and performances may include props, giveaways, and games to encourage maximum guest participation. The repertoire covers extensive ground, from faithful reproductions of classic songs to unusual variations formulated to get audiences out on the dance floor. Music for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions is also available, in a variety of configurations.

Feedback
- I can offer no review possibly good enough for this band. They took an absolute disaster of a band situation at our wedding and came through with professional grace, courtesy - AND THEY ROCKED!!!
The wedding was October 8th, 2005 at The Driftwood Inn, Bailey Island, ME. The Maine weather had been spectacular for months until the day before, when a monsoon - literally a record-breaking rainfall began. Our tent became a lake...with a river running through it. The power, yes, the ELECTRICTY, was out between 4 and 11 PM. The guests had to share tables in the dining room to eat (by candlelight), and we had to put the band in an adjacent room about 15 feet square in a rickety house on ledges above the pounding surf. This band organized a gasoline generator to use for power (and lights) and THEN gave a full-on 120% effort in setting up properly, playing a tight set, and THOROUGHLY entertaining the crowd. Absolutely spectacular songs. And no complaints, whatsoever. We paid ~$3500, and that was a BARGAIN. If you are considering this style of band, BOOK THEM NOW.
Guys: YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Peace,

- We hired Secret Service for a private party at our open house for about 250-300 people. As a CEO of several corporations, I have been to many functions but have never heard a band as talented as Secret Service. From the moment they arrived, until well into the night, they were so professional and their utmost goal was to provide client satisfaction. They easily surpassed my expectations. All night long, my guests raved to me about how great the band was. People will be talking about the Hendrix solo during the fireworks for years to come. Words cannot even describe the talent of this band. Thank you guys so much for giving it your all. You are the only band I will ever hire again. You truly ROCK!

- As a total music snob, the thought of finding a band to play my wedding reception was a bit scary for me. Secret Service completely went above and beyond my expectations in terms of professionalism and talent. Fantastic cover band! They play a really diverse mix of music, and it all sounded great. They did a wonderful job reading the crowd, and had everyone, both young and old, dancing. Especially great with special requests. They did a great job playing our first dance, and some more obscure requests. I also had a number of musicians at the wedding, and they were always friendly and accomodating when they were asked to step aside and let the guests play. I can't recommend them highly enough. Made a very special evening even more memorable. -- Ben S, Wellesley, MA, 5/7/2005
- "All I can say is WOW." More importantly, that is all I heard my guests say. Secret Service were professional, fun, talented, accomadating and more than we could ever had hoped for. Their ability to please all the kids at my son's Bar Mitvah, the young adults, and the older adults was truly amazing. My guests kept asking, "where did you ever find such an amazing band?" My answer was Gigmasters!
Thankyou for making this beautiful time in our lives one that my son and family and friends will remember for years to come!! -- Jane R, Wellesley, MA, 3/5/2005
- For the first time in over 30 years, we decided to hire a live band for Fall Homecoming at Sharon High School. Secret Service responded quickly, courteously and accomodated all our needs perfectly! The band was not only extremely talented and played a great mix of songs, but they really played to the crowd and were overall nice guys. Their Led Zeppelin medley was truly outstanding and they admitted it was done on the "spur of the moment" to appease the Zeppelin fans in the audience. I would highly recommend them for any occassion, as they have hundreds of songs in their catalog appropriate for a variety of events. The kids have never turned out in such numbers for a homecoming dance! We had well over 500 people turn out for the event and we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Secret Service, you guys rock! -- Dan B, Sharon, MA, 10/2/2004
- Secret Service provided a great night of dancing for our annual party. THEY WERE GREAT. My sister has already booked them for her wedding. If you have a chance to book these guys - DO IT (But only if you want to have a lot of fun). -- Doug L, Ocean Park, ME, 8/14/2004
