Feedback
- MTF was awesome!!! The music was incredible during the reception and they made our ceremony the one we dreamed of. MTF played all the songs we requested and more!!! Everyone at our wedding from our 82 year old grandparents to our younger siblings ripped it up on the dance floor all night. We have not seen our parents have that much fun in a long time and that is exactly what you want to see at your wedding. We had never seen MTF before and were 100% satisfied with them, we recommend them for every type of event.
THANKS FOR A GREAT WEDDING NIGHT.

Flagstaff, Arizona. -- Ryan P, Pacific City, OR, 6/7/2008
- It's no wonder why they're the highest rated band on GigMasters - they were superb! They learned our wedding song, and performed flawlessly all evening. They even let my friend and I come up and perform with them on the last number. Best wedding band ever. Do yourself a service and hire them NOW. -- Delfin P, Santa Barbara, CA, 4/5/2008
- We are looking forward to having Maurice The Fish come back for many years to come. We hired them to rock out our end of the season Fishermans Party and that is exactly what they did. This was a party that our community will be talking about for some time and we as a staff are very satisfied with our decision to hire Maurice The Fish!! -- Melanie L, Yakutat, AK, 10/5/2007
- The band was AWESOME ... my group had a fabulous time and danced the night away.
I've been a meeting planner since 1998 and Maurice the Fish was by far one of the best bands I've had for my programs.
THANK YOU! -- Lynette R, Vancouver, BC, 5/19/2006
- Let me describe my experience this way: Maurice the Fish is exceptional. Firstly, Julianna is an excellent communicator, which is an important factor. Next. There is the attention to detail. Done. Next. The band and support staff are totally accommodating. They are responsive to your needs. They care. They are flexible. They improvise. They are truly awesome. They deserve your business. Oh, did I mention they are all extremely talented and versatile? Any questions? -- Ken L, Prince George, BC, 6/10/2007
- Maurice the Fish was the PERFECT addition to our evening. They were a pleasure to work with from day one and extremely professional. The tone they set for the military ball was fun, exciting, and celebratory... everything that we asked. My only complaint is that their music was SO good we had some people doing "the Robot" on the dance floor. Literally everyone was dancing! Thanks again to Maurice the Fish for a wonderful event! -- Dea E, Tacoma, WA, 11/16/2007
- I was blown away by how personally involved Maurice the Fish was in helping us to set up our wedding! It truly was above and beyond anything I coul dhave expected or hoped for. They even learned the song I wanted to have for our parents' dance. The music was amazing and got everyone out dancing and having a great time, even past our cut-off point! Thank you for bringing the soul to the party! AMAZING! -- Shannon H, Glacier, WA, 9/8/2007
- Julianna and Maurice the Fish were an absolute pleasure to work with! Their upbeat performance helped created a lighthearted and fun atmosphere for everyone that attended the MS Walk in Seattle. They were extremely accomodating and flexible...very easy to work with. We would love to have Maurice the Fish be a part of the MS Walk again in the future! -- Piper T, Seattle, WA, 4/15/2007
- Maurice the Fish performed at our destination wedding in Kelowna, BC in September. The band was our number one priority and we were not disappointed. We had never heard them in person but Julianna was wonderful and so accomindating to our needs. They even learned our first dance song and traveled 8 hours to our event. We couldn't have asked for more. Everyone was on their feet dancing from the moment after our first dance until midnight. Perfect! Hire Maurice the Fish! -- Allison W, Kelowna, BC, 9/1/2007
- Everyone loved them! Everyone came up to us and said, where did
you find this band? They're great! They made the 50th Anniversary
of our organization a truly special event. -- Ted S, Seattle, WA, 7/5/2007
- These guys were amazing. They were easy to communicate with and were very helpful with making sure everything would work the way we wanted it. They totally rocked our wedding reception. They played guitar for the wedding ceremony as well and it was absolutely perfect. Our guests were very impressed and we were too! Thank you so much Maurice the Fish! -- Ellen T, Portland, OR, 6/30/2007
- Maurice was accomodating, easy to work with, talented, and very professional. Ray Hayden provided piano music for our wedding ceremony, starting with his own amazing work, and even attended our rehearsal! At our reception, the band was incredibly interactive with the guests, coming down into the crowd to play blazing guitar riffs and do the "power slide" with the kids! They brought vibrant energy and excitement to our party, and really made the evening! They even let our son play guitar onstage and be a rockstar for a few minutes! They even invited guest vocalists from the audience! They were amazing and we highly recommend them for any event! -- Jennifer S, Buckley, WA, 11/10/2007
- The band was absoslutely amazing! They were fun and engaging and if only 6 people were on the dance floor you would have thought they were performing for 6,000- their energy was just that good! -- Mariel N, Seattle, WA, 9/2/2007
- Great quality music - very professional, accommodating and friendly people. I received more compliments on the band than any other aspect of my daughter's wedding. Thank you Maurice the Fish - you made my daughter's wedding reception first rate!!
Diana -- Diana B, Lincoln City, OR, 4/8/2007
- Great energy and interaction with the crowd - at one point they gave out musical instruments (wooden sticks, bell, etc) so we could be involved with the music.
Good choice of songs - upbeat & fun; made you want to get up and dance.
Skilled/quality musicians - knew their stuff and obviously enjoy what they do.
They were fantastic to work with; extremely professional and accommodating. They were very flexible, and seemed to truly care about providing our guests with a positive and fun experience. We would hire them again in a heart beat!
-- Leslie J, Seattle, WA, 3/2/2007
- Maurice The Fish is a top band, very professional and flexible, They have good tight sound, fun energy, creative and good party band over all. It was good to work with them,
They where able to be flexible with time, and setup. Over all I am very happy with them.
Thanks so much, and people are still coming up to me asking me what cool band that was and wanting to know more about them.
-- Gummi B, Seattle, WA, 10/27/2006
- Maurice the Fish was awesome! They provided all of our wedding music needs from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, dinner and the reception. We had two special songs not on their normal play list and they added them just for our special day! They were easy to work with, professional and went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. We would definately reccommend Maurice the Fish!
Nicole and Edmund Doucette -- Nicole W, Eastsound, WA, 9/3/2006
- As my father said - the band was the best money we spent on the whole event, they were awesome. They got the crowd involved and they were very gracious when I got up on stage with them and tried to sing myself! They knew exactly how to flow the whole event and helped transition the reception from cocktails to dinner to toasting and cake cutting and all the other traditions we participated in. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! They were great to communicate with and did their best to meet all my needs! Ayme Hooper -- Ayme A, Husum, WA, 9/2/2006
- What a wonderful group of people Maurice the Fish was. Not only fun and professional, they went out of their way to make everyone including the kids have the best time. So many people at our party commented that seeing the kids included and the persnality of the band made watching them as much fun as listening to them. They did not just show up to work, they made us feel like they were really getting into it as well. We would recommend them with the highest regard for anyone looking to make a party special, like they did for my wifes party. Maurice, you guys are the best. -- Tom L, Entiat, WA, 8/19/2006
- They rocked our wedding and everyone had a great time. We've heard nothing but great things about the band from our guests. We're very happy with our decision. -- Keith G, Portland, OR, 8/12/2006
- The band was great! They even dressed for the occassion which was a nice touch and the interaction with the crowd was a hit! -- Stacey D, Bellevue, WA, 6/10/2006
- Maurice The Fish was awesome! We hired them to play for our University
of Washington Business School Fundraiser. This is a very high-profile
corporate event for the Retail Management Program, with over 15 major
companies represented. They impressed everyone with their talent and
professionalism. As the Event Director, they made me look good, the Dean of the Business School was very impressed, AND they helped us reach our financial goals! They played a great full-band cocktail set, solo music for the dinner hour, and great dance music that everyone enjoyed at the end of the night. They are talented, professional and accommodating - and added to the FUN atmosphere of our whole event. I am promoting them to our corporate sponsors, clients and Board Members, and can't wait for the next event to have them back!

- We hired Maurice The Fish to play at our high school prom. From the monment I made contact with Julianna, everything was about what WE needed, what WE wanted, and how WE wanted it. They were extremely accommodating. Their music was exactly what we wanted for our prom pleasing both students and chaperones. In fact, the chaperones were so amazed because they didn't have to chase down students all night long. The kids were all to busy rocking out on the dance floor. Maurice The Fish is so professional that when they found out that the prom would end an hour earlier than originally planned, they re-organized their song list and didn't take any breaks except to give us time to crown our King and Queen. Maurice The Fish is the premier band for any event but we would HIGHLY recommend them for any event that has teenagers. They completely catered to the young crowd. We are beyond 100% satisfied. -- Debbie H, Cloverdale, OR, 5/6/2006
- Maurice The Fish was excellent! Our corporate party wouldn't have been nearly so successful without the great entertainment they provided. They accommodated all of our musical needs; soft, low-volume hits during cocktail hour, acoustic guitar/piano duet for dinner hour, vocal/piano for dessert time, and then they kicked it up with high energy dance music for the rest of the night. Everyone danced and had a great time. They played last year, and we will definitely hire them again and again! -- Pam T, Portland, OR, 12/3/2005
- Maurice The Fish was AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!! They played at our Halloween party..They kept the crowd happy, dancing and singing! We can't wait to have them back again. -- Carrie K, Klamath Falls, OR, 10/29/2005
