• RamFunkshus was amazing from start to finish. They were the only vendor for our wedding that never gave us a problem, curveball, etc. They are one hundred times better live than any of their samples, Seriously. Their jazz set before the wedding party was introduced blew everyone away. Their sound system is top notch and top of the line. These guys and gal are real pros. They know how to make everyone feel comfortable and have a GREAT time. $350 for and exta hour is peanuts when you consider how great they were. I got complimets all night how amazing the band was, but how great each musician is. Rick was an amazing MC he made us feel like we were in good hands -- Alex P, Santa Monica, CA, 7/25/2008
• I first fell in love with the name, and then I fell in love with the band. Working with RamFunkshus was an utter pleasure from the first time I spoke to Barry (manager/keyboard player) and through the very last song of the evening (when every single guest was on the dance floor begging the band to keep playing). I am thrilled that we chose RamFunkshus as the band for our wedding, and all of our guests remarked how awesome the band was. They were an integral part of an ideal evening. (And during the planning, Barry was ALWAYS there to bat ideas around with me--placement of the band, details of timeline, songlist.) We couldn't be happier with our choice. :) -- Gwen Y, Los Angeles, CA, 7/19/2008
• RAMFunkSHUS were awesome! They played for our annual Gala with more than 500 guests (ages 25-70.) I worked with Barry prior to the event and asked him if they could put together a special LINE DANCE for one of my major donors and it was a HUGE hit. My donor who can be very picky about the entertainment asked me at the end of the night if we could hire them for next year. This event has been held for 14 years and this is the first time that we had more than 50 people stay until the end to dance. It was a great event and RAMFunkSHUS made our fundraiser a huge success. Sean Wiggins has a wonderful voice and can sing just about anything - Yes, even AC/DC. -- Glenda F, Ontario, CA, 3/15/2008
• This band was terrific. We received numerous compliments on the band and how great and professional they are. Their sound is perfect and knew exactly what song to play at what time. They got the crowd into dancing, and when we where eating, we where still able to engage in conversation. There is a reason why they come so highly recommended. -- Laura N, Aliso Viejo, CA, 12/14/2007
• I found RamFunkshus on the Gigmasters website and from the minute I made contact with them I was very impressed. They were COMPLELELY PROFESSIONAL in every aspect of working with our wedding reception. Not only did they provide the fantastic entertainment at our reception, they walked us through how to schedule the different aspects of the reception. They were very willing to offer help when needed or let us take charge where we needed. Then once the reception started -- they creatd the magic that made the evening a wonderful event for my husband and I and everyone that came. It's a month later and I am still getting compliments about the reception. Everyone felt free to dance and party. Looking back at the pictures you can see that the dance floor was packed the whole night and everyone is laughing and having a great time. The band's electricity sparked the everyone else's electricity and then blended together for a great night. The band was hot the whole evening -- never let down. Rick was a wonderful MC with his warmth and wonderful smile. Our group of friends is very diverse -- with half our friends in their twenties to thirties and the other half in their fifties to sixties -- and then all ages sprinkled in. Everyone from the 4 year old to the 85 year old -- said, this was the best wedding reception ever!!! Actually the four year old said, this was the best party ever!! They all loved the band!!!! Thanks Gigmasters for providing the opportunity to find this great band. We will be using them again for other events in the future. -- Roberta M, Northridge, CA, 2/3/2007
• Thank you Ramfunkshus for making our reception such a party! During the reception, my husband and I were trying to make our rounds and visit some long-lost friends and family. I will never forget looking out onto the dance floor and realizing that it was completely full! Everyone was dancing, and I mean REALLY dancing! It was awesome... our guests were truly having a great time (everyone--ages 22 to 62!). Rick was a fabulous emcee, and really engaged the crowd. Everyone in Ramfunkshus is so talented; they made us so proud. I can't tell you how many people came up to us and said, "Wow! You hired a really great band!" -- Kelly G, Laguna Beach, CA, 10/20/2007
• From the initial contact with the band to the final song; Ramfunkshus was the most accomodating, professional, and especially, FUN group of people to deal with. All of our requests, questions and concerns were handled and every detail seen to with timeliness and care. Our wedding was enhanced so much by having Ramfunkshus play for us! We looked at other, more traditional bands, and interviewed quite a few DJs and couldn't have been more sure and ecstatic that Ramfunkshus surpassed our expectations. In our opinion, Ramfunkshus is the best choice for a wedding of any type, or for any occassion where fun, style, class and expert musicianship and vocals are important! -- William W, Malibu, CA, 9/23/2007
• I must tell you, no group of musicians is finer. What an event we had!! If you want a first class event, with no headaches, book this group. THANK YOU RAMFUNKSHUS!!!!!!! -- Stephanie F, Malibu, CA, 8/25/2007
• They were wonderful to work with through the entire process. Because they were so great and showed everyone the best time they've ever had at a school function they made me a hit. There wasn't one thing that could have been better. They were fabuous! -- Kathleen R, Santa Monica, CA, 5/4/2007
• I'm so glad I chose RamFunkshus for my New Years' Eve Party. Not only was it easy to access their videos and listen to their playing on their web site but it was also easy to communicate with them whenever I needed questions answered. The party was such a success because of their talent and energy. My guests were so blown away by their performance that everyone was on the dance floor the whole night. Thank you so very much, RamFunkshus, for such a great night. You will hear from us again for future parties. -- Mary P, Park City, UT, 12/31/2006
• One word . . . AWESOME!!!!! Very professional, accommodating and friendly. They even learned a couple new songs just for our event. They hosted our dance contest and it was a blast. Ramfunkshus is not your run of the mill band, they are VERY entertaining - not to mention talented - musicians. We would definitely book them again for a future event. Thanks for making our event a memorable one...you guys are the best. -- Bobbie S, Santa Monica, CA, 12/15/2006
• This group was excellent. The feedback that I heard from our employees was that this band was "tight"; "their voices were amazing" the music selection was fantastic, everyone was up and dancing through the last song. They definitely left us wanting more. They worked with us scheduling around appetizers, dinner and speeches, making sure that everything was right. They joked with us and even helped us recover from a little mistake in the presentations. I can't wait to use them for another event! -- Sylvia T, Fullerton, CA, 12/4/2006
• Wow, what amazing performers! I was married last Friday and Ramfunkshus performed at our reception. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received about the band. All of the band members were very warm and personable. They have amazing talent. Rick did an incredible rendition of Louie Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" for our first dance. Anyone looking for a great wedding band, look no further. This is the band to have. They truly made our wedding reception unforgettable. Thank you Ramfunkshus!!!! -Emily Smith -- Emily K, Diamond Bar, CA, 11/17/2006
• RamFunkshus is a wonderful band and played a significant part in making our company anniversary dinner/dance a huge success! Two weeks after the event, employees are still talking about what a great time they had and how much they enjoyed the energy that the band projected. The band members were professional and accommodating in every way, and knew exactly what type of music was appropriate for our event without any direction from our event planners, which made it possible for us to focus on other details. We'd definitely consider them for future events. THANK YOU RAMFUNKSHUS for a job well done!!! -- Daphne K, Woodland Hills, CA, 9/30/2006
• WOW!!!RamFunkshus was outstanding!! They were amazing at my wedding and my guests enjoyed every minute of their music.They made our wedding memorable and I can't say enough about them!! They were professional to work with and accomidating to all of our needs. Every guest I spoke with after the wedding commented on how great the band was. I would definately recommend RamFunkshus to anyone who is looking for a band for their event. I could not of been happier with their services.As my husband said, "she had some pipes" (Lead female singer Sean Wiggins)Thank you so much for making my day even more special!! -- Claudine M, Los Angeles, CA, 7/29/2006
• They were absolutely amazing in every sense! I was able to do 100% of the planning with them via email which was so convenient. The wedding went off without a hitch and the band was the main attraction. Friends can't stop commenting on how incredible our band was! Many thanks! -- Cary H, Pasadena, CA, 4/9/2005
• Individually, the band members were very easy going and personable. As a whole, the band was fantastic! I heard more compliments about the band than anything else! I would definitely love to have them back next year! -- Vanessa T, Marina Del Rey, CA, 12/11/2004
• This band far exceeded our expectations. After evaluating several other bands, we chose RamFunkshus to play at our wedding because they seemed to offer the best value for our money. Once the wedding reception started, it was obvious that we had made the right choice by booking RamFunkshus. Their talent, experience, professionalism and great combinations of rock, funk, soul, dance and standards impressed everyone and made the party a blast! I was approached constantly throughout the night by guests asking me "where did you find such a GREAT BAND!!?" I told them about Gigmasters. Things could not have gone better and my wife and I (and several of my friends) look forward to going to see Ramfunkshus play at one of their public gigs. Regards Edward Hernandez Sherman Oaks, California. -- Edward H, Westlake, CA, 10/30/2004
