*** WEDDING TESTIMONIALS ***

Hackberry Road played for our wedding this past weekend! They were absolutely amazing!!! There was someone on the dance floor from the first song to the very last. Everyone came up to my husband and me all night long, and said how awesome they are and asked where we found them...I referred them to Gig Masters of course! Hackberry Road helped to make our special day that much more special and we would recommend them to anyone. They played a variety of songs from rock and blues all the way to Texas Country, which was exactly what we were looking for in a band. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good band and a good time! -Ben C, Satin, TX

We had nothing but good things to say about the Hackberry Road Band. they worked with us on every part of our wedding. We asked them to learn special songs and they did it without a hitch. A very Professional band when it came to taking care of our Wedding needs. They setup early and were willing to stay as long as we needed them. Everyone at the wedding was asking about who they were and how we found them. We would refer them to anyone who wants a band. A++++ -- John R, Pilot Point, TX,

This is an amazing band. They are extremely professional and so talented. They played for the ceremony, during dinner and the reception. I have gotten nothing but compliments from everyone who attended the wedding about how wonderful the band was! Their rates are above reasonable, they are true musicians and go above and beyond to make the event special and worry free. I would recommend this band to anyone who is looking for musicians for any event of any size whether casual or formal! Thank you so much for being a part of making my wedding picture perfect! -- Alison W, Dallas, TX,

• An excellent band with incredible talent — extremely professional and fun. I book bands from all over the country every year for our annual conference and Hackberry Road is simply the best! It is amazing the big sound that comes out of just 3 guys. They are just too good for words. They know how to read a crowd and adjust their level and song selections to perfectly match the mood. If I can bring them to another conference, I will do so. They rocked it! -- Shari L, Dallas, TX, 10/21/2009
