Feedback

  • Very professional, personable and talented -- Gregory P, Dover, DE, 12/3/2011
  • Mutual Fun Band was the life of the party! They were an extraordinary hit at our reception. We were so excited to see that they were not as expensive as many bands out there, but they definitely have the talent! They know how to work a crowd, and our dance floor was packed all night. They were also great with special requests, MCing the whole thing with very little direction, the timeline of the event, and being organized and on time. They clearly KNOW weddings. They worked ahead on our fairly obscure first dance music, and sounded amazing. One of the best decisions we made! I would recommend Mutual Fun to anyone looking for a fabulous wedding reception band. -- Elisabeth G, Vienna, VA, 6/20/2010
  • the best in the area very very good..!! -- Ken M, Hagerstown, MD, 9/4/2010
  • They were incredible and made our wedding so much fun! Thanks -- Heather H, Stevensville, MD, 7/2/2010
  • The Mutual Fun Band was perfect for our wedding. The band was excellent at playing the right music at the right time. They created an atmosphere that helped all of our family and friends celebrate our special day and thoroughly enjoy the reception. We are so glad we found them for our band. -- John B, Alexandria, VA, 6/19/2010
  • Mutual Fun was the perfect band for our company function! They were so versatile playing all styles of music - we have a wide age range of employees with different music tastes/preferences. We almost got a DJ because we could not get agreement on what kind of band to get but EVERYONE said at the end of the night what a great band it was and they all stayed to the end of the night which HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN 10 YEARS!!! My boss even gave me kudos for making the final selection and Mutual Fun made our party a huge success! We'll be hiring you guys again next year! Thanks guys! -- Rodger W, Washington, DC, 1/18/2008
  • The band was truly incredible! I was a hit with all my family and friends for picking them. Great music and they kept everyone dancing all night long. Mixed up the music constantly so that everyone got to hear something they liked. Wow - what a band. You can't go wrong with Mutual Fun!!! -- Maryjane T, Woodlawn, MD, 1/23/2009
  • What can I say that other reviews haven't said? Mutual Fun was incredible! Great selection of music, perfect for the cocktail and dinner and filled the floor during the dancing sets. Great band personalities, very outgoing and lots of stage energy! The bass player even came out and played solos in the crowd with a wireless bass - very cool!Lots of compliments from my friends and family. Loved this group - worth twice what we paid! -- John P, Cockeysville, MD, 1/19/2008
  • This band was OUTSTANDING!!!! I saw them at a friends wedding, but they are far from your typical "wedding band". They completely turned the party to full blast, and that's exactly what kind of time we all had. I hired them for my own party and my friends and family all couldn't believe what a talented, and personable group of musicians they were. They completely made the evening happen and I would hire them again in a second. Nuff said!! -- Billy T, Catonsville, MD, 8/8/2006
  • Mutual Fun is a fabulous band and really made our party a great time for all! This band has an uncanny sense with regard to their song selection...they play all the right music for the occasion. Everyone that I spoke with at our party indicated that they thoroughly enjoyed the band. The overall talent of the band is exceptional as many of the members do the lead singing and several members play multiple instruments. I would highly recommend this band to others and was thrilled with their performance at our party on Sunday, August 6th. -- Pamela M, Marriottsville, MD, 8/6/2006
  • I would like to echo all the reviews I read before hiring Mutual Fun - They were FANTASTIC!! Even though we only needed music for a short period of time, they were so accommodating and played such a fantastic set of music that everyone was simply blown away! Nothing but compliments from our entire group and hard to believe we found a band this good on the web by accident. Excellent job Mutual Fun! -- Mary H, Baltimore, MD, 1/23/2008
  • I can't say enough about the Mutual Fun Band! They were SO Good! When we were shopping bands, they claimed to play music better than the record - THEY DO! What 'till they get to "Funky Music" - It will blow you away! So much energy and lots of "fun" too :) We'll definitely hire them again and a couple of our friends who are getting married are hiring them too so we look forward to seeing them again at their wedding! Thanks guys! -- Rich T, Annapolis, MD, 1/12/2008
  • Mutual Fun Band was very easy to work with. They were very relaxed and calm when we changed the flow of the event (timing of the welcome, speeches, honorees etc.) They accommodated requests from the audience and made everyone feel welcome. We had several wheelchair users who also said they had a blast. I would highly recommend them. -- Mona F, Hanover, MD, 4/21/2007
  • I was very happy with the performance. I would invite Mutual Fun back again and again. They did a great job. -- Donald H, Waynesboro, PA, 3/17/2007
  • Fantastic band. I would use them again if I had an event in the Baltimore. They really got the crowd going. -- Debbie B, Baltimore, MD, 6/9/2008
  • The band was highly professional and entertaining. We would absolutely book them in the future! -- Valerie N, Mclean, VA, 1/26/2008
  • The band was marvelous and key to the success of our fund raising event! -- Lisa G, Chesapeake City, MD, 9/30/2006
  • They did a perfect job and were very accomodating! They played just the right songs and had everyone involved! -- Christine K, Arlington, VA, 11/18/2006
  • They were the right type of band for our Casino night. Very animated, played good music and were willing to play in the 94 degree heat! -- Rebecca M, Washington, DC, 8/2/2007
  • The perfect music from the perfect band. Great song selection, strong vocals and highly entertaining. Hire them! (We did and loved it!) -- Barry M, Annapolis, MD, 1/27/2008
  • This was a repeat performance for the band. We loved them the first time we used them, and even moreso this time! They are so versitile in their ability to play different styles of music, and even different instruments. Great vocals and great stage personality. They come with our AAA+ rating!! -- Billy T, Eldersburg, MD, 9/11/2009
