Feedback
- The Trip exceeded all of our expectations! Not only were they BEYOND talented, they were so nice and personable.I can't wait to book The Trip again!They made our event!
All the best,
Pam Beeks -- Pam B, Santa Monica, CA, 6/6/2009
- The Trip was Great! They had a smaller space to work with than they are accustomed to, but totally made it work ! They fit right into the celebration and were the hit of the party ! -- Karen E, Huntington Beach, CA, 5/31/2009
- The Trip is an amazing band! My guests had a great time dancing to their music all night long. Three people from my wedding want to use them for other events. They are fun, professional and talented. They rocked my wedding! Thanks guys! - Alexis, San Diego -- Alexis A, San Diego, CA, 5/23/2009
- The Trip made our 40th bash SO much fun! Absolutely everybody loved the band and at certain points, the entire party was on the dance floor! No one could stop talking about how great the band was. Thank you for making our party so much fun for everyone! -- Karin & Dave M, San Clemente, CA, 5/24/2009
- The Trip was awesome! Highly recommended!! -- Fernando L, La Jolla, CA, 5/22/2009
- The TRIP was incredible. I truly cannot say enough positive things about them. I had SO much fun at my wedding and danced the night away-as did all my guests-which is EXACTLY what I had hoped for. They made our wedding so much fun and I received endless compliments from such a wide range of ages and personalities on how great the band was. It was the best money we spent. -- Kersten M, Oceanside, CA, 5/9/2009
- Its obvious why The Trip is the number one band on gigmasters,these guys are awesome.They are not only very talented musicians,but professional,reliable,easy to contact,and best of all way cool peeps.They played at our wedding,and EVERYONE loved them.Dance floor was never empty.If your asking yourself,(like I did)"Will these guys be really as good as everyone says they are,or will they be too hard rock to cater to everyone regardless of age"Don't worry,they're perfect for any occasion you'd possibly imagine.Oh yeah,they also learned 'Faithfully'-Journey,for our first dance,and nailed it.Im trying to think of another party to have,just so I could book them again. -- Mary S, San Diego, CA, 5/1/2009
- The Trip is a great group to work with. Timely, professional and accommodating. The crowd loved them! -- Nicole S, Ontario, CA, 4/4/2009
- The Trip was great. Good guys....Nice, professional, talented. They are very tight musicians and stay on top of the hits, old and new. As th groom, it really felt good because it was our weddding, but it was essentially a concert as well. The attendees of our wedding loved the band. When we ran into our friends and family after the wedding, usually the first thing out of their mouth would be how great the band was. Thanks to The Trip, and when we have another event, we'll hire them again. -- Nathan S, Fullerton, CA, 4/18/2009
- These guys were top notch professionals. Anytime, anywhere, I would hire them in a second. They can all sing, which adds a lot of variety to the music. An they saved my butt. -- Eric Z, Phoenix, AZ, 2/25/2009
- HIRE THE TRIP!!! I am telling you that you won't regret it. We had them for our NY Eve wedding and they were AMAZING! They are extremely professional, very nice, and most of all, talented. Everyone was getting their business card afterwards and was talking about how great they were days later. One of the managers at the Four Seasons where we got married told me that in the 9 years he worked there, it was the best band they have ever had there. I wished they could have played for us every night. They sounded like the bands whose songs they cover. I am telling you-if you want a great event, wedding etc. hire them!!!!!!!! -- Alison S, Scottsdale, AZ, 12/31/2008
- The Trip richly deserves their #1 rating. We engaged them for our daughter's wedding 12/27/08 in Santa Barbara. Not only were they professional, prompt and responsive, but they are an incredibly talented group. We had an equal mix of 20-somethings and over-50s in attendance, and everyone raved about the band. Our photographer (who has shot many, many weddings) said she had never seen so many people flock to a dance floor at a wedding before. Our wedding coordinator, who has worked with many bands but never before with the Trip, said to us, "Great call on the band." Bravo to the Trip. Steve & Peggy, Santa Barbara. -- Peggy B, Santa Barbara, CA, 12/27/2008
- This is the 2nd time I've called on The Trip for a group event - and they always bring the best sound! Everyone loved their sound! I would never hesitate on calling them again and again! These guys are the best! -- Agi C, San Diego, CA, 12/5/2008
- They were fantastic! Great playlist, great showmanship, reliable. They adjusted the tempo according to the energy on the dance floor. My staff has been complimenting them since the party!
Will definitely hire them again!!! -- Bobbie T, Dana Point, CA, 12/20/2008
- The Trip was nothing short of spectacular. We received complements from every person who attended our wedding, including passers by. The band was fun, professional, accommodating, and truly warm/good people. We were honored to have them as a part of our wedding, and have already recommended them to friends. It was a night we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
Jena and Jeremy Meredith -- Jena T, San Diego, CA, 11/1/2008
- My family and I had such a great time listening and dancing to the band. We continued to receive compliments all evening about how good they sound, the song selection, and their overall attitude. I highly recommend this band for a wedding, birthday, or any party. -- Kara K, Silverado, CA, 10/25/2008
- The best and easiest decision we have ever made was booking the trip for our wedding. My wife and I had the most amazing night of our lives, and it was due mostly to how much our guests, families, and friends enjoyed the night of dancing and killer music that The Trip delivered. This is an amazing band, do yourself a favor and hire them for whatever event you might have coming up... you and your guests will have the time of their lives and The Trip will always make you feel comfortable that you've made the correct decision by hiring them. When these guys aren't playing their many types of events, they are rocking the bars. Go see them play, you'll be sold!!!! -- Tim D, San Juan Capistrano, CA, 10/11/2008
- Besides being an awesome band, these are four of the nicest people I have ever met. So talented and accommodating, I would recommend The Trip to anyone and everyone that wants to have a great party. My guests were raving about them all night. In addition, their professionalism went about and beyond my expectations. -- Beth A, La Mesa, CA, 10/4/2008
- The Trip was the perfect band for our wedding! We wanted a group that would not play all of the standard songs that are always heard at every wedding or event--more classic rock--less cheese. We didn't even have a chance to hear them live first--just took the word of others they had worked with before of how good they were. They responded to all of our calls, emails, and requests quickly and were very easy to work with. They even came extra early to set up and waited several hours to play with no complaints. Everyone loved their music and how they played to the dancing. I would hire them again with no reservations--great group of guys and very talented! -- Mark M, Yorba Linda, CA, 9/26/2008
- The Trip was fantastic. One word that comes to mind is "awesome." they made our wedding extra special. the guests are still talking about how great the band was. the dance for was crowded from the moment they began playing and continued throughout the night. Not only did they play exceptionally well they really helped out with the flow and timing of the wedding. thank to the trip our wedding was phenomenal. -- Megan C, Pasadena, CA, 9/13/2008
- These guys were awesome, professional, fun and rocked. I hired them sight unseen for a high end wedding in Carmel Valley and it could not of gone better. There video on the site does not fully capture how great this band was. We still have people from our wedding asking about these guys. I would recommend these guys 100% for your event! -- William L, Carmel, CA, 8/30/2008
- Since our wedding 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago, we have heard nothing but raving about The Trip! Steve and his crew did such a great job and were very accomodating to our special needs. We would recommend The Trip only to those who want the best band available!! Thanks again you guys, you rock! -- Doug S, La Jolla, CA, 8/23/2008
- The Trip truly made our wedding reception--solid rock classics, great vocals, awesome attitude made for a killer performance. Our collective guests had been to hundreds of weddings, and each one of them said this wedding was the the most fun, and The Trip helped make that happen. My father said he's never danced for 4 hours straight before. If you want a true party, book these guys; I plan to try mightliy to get them to the east coast to see them again. -- Barrett T, La Jolla, CA, 8/9/2008
- All of the Band members are very talented and quite accomodating. Everyone in my 50th Birthday bash had commented to me how wonderful The Trip was. Even the "younger" family members who are not really into Classic Rock and Roll had told me without prompting them how wonderful and talented The Trip were.
They were on time, courteous and professional in every way, and played all the songs I had requested, and even learned a few songs at my request for my party. They are Way too cool, I could not have had a better experience with another band in the Southern Califorinia area. I will ask for them at my next bash which I hope will be sooner than later.
Raul in L.A. -- Raul E, Studio City, CA, 8/3/2008
- The Trip was truly amazing. They were professional, prompt, courteous and played incredible music. We had a great experience having The Trip play at our party. They made my 40th birthday one that I will always remember. Our friends and family are still raving about how good the band was! Thank you for making our party a blast.
Julie and Justin -- Julina B, San Juan Capistrano, CA, 8/2/2008
- The Trip was an amazing group of guys with extraordinary talent. We gave very little direction and they took it upon themselves to show us a great time and succeeded. From the moment the band started until the moment they finished, the entire party was up dancing! I cannot wait until my next opportunity to see them again. The Trip rocks! -- Melony H, Rancho Santa Fe, CA, 7/19/2008
- Booking The Trip for our wedding was the single best decision we made. They were amazing! All of our guests are still raving about them, and here I am on my honeymoon doing an online review because I love these guys SO much and would refer anyone who wants to have the best party of their life to book them! Only problems were that 1. I never got to eat cake because I kept waiting for them to play a song I didn't like which never happened, and 2. I danced my toe-polish off which I didn't even know was possible. Trip- if you're reading this. PLEASE consider a re-lo to NJ so I don't have to fly all the way out here to have my next party! Love, Erin & Carl -- Erin K, Coronado, CA, 6/21/2008
- It was blistering hot outside, and they still rocked it. Plus, they're really nice guys with solid talent. I especially loved their covers of Neil Diamond, Tom Petty, John Mayer, AC/DC... It was awesome, and I would definitely recommend them! -- Mercedes M, Ontario, CA, 6/21/2008
- I am not even sure I can put into words just how talented these guys are. My wife first saw them at a charity event before we were even engaged. She came home and said "if we ever get married, I have our band." From there we saw them at a few gigs around town, and we were immediately fans.
They just know how to play. They were easy to work with, completely professional, yet artists to the core. We had a requested song which they learned in merely one week.
Our wedding was a giant party, and The Trip played right into it. They were warriors, going basically non-stop for over three hours - they kept the place dancing and never stopped. Thanks Guys! -- Michael G, Brentwood, CA, 6/14/2008
- We booked The Trip for our wedding reception in San Francisco in May
2008. We were a little hesitant to book them at first since we hadn't
seen them perform live ourselves. But we had a feeling from their
press kit, playlist, and feedback from other clients, that they were
the high energy and talented band we were looking for to help make our reception a great party. They really delivered! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire time and even got an enthusiastic encore! The songlist was great. They performed our special request songs which aren't on their playlist without a hitch! They were professional, on time and great to work with. Book the Trip! -- Jennifer C, San Francisco, CA, 5/31/2008
- I booked The Trip to play at my yacht club, Balboa Yacht Club, opening day party and they made the event! They were on time, very professional, and they where good sports about participating in the theme of the party. They have amazing singing abilities, every member was a strong performer and the drummer was remarkable. The next day I ran into some of the residents on Balboa Island and they even enjoyed the music from across the harbor! Everyone was dancing until the final song. This is an amazing accomplishment because the demographic at our club ranges from members in their 20’s to the most senior of members. Even the Commodore was dancing until they finished ther -- Candice C, Corona Del Mar, CA, 5/9/2008
- The Trip was an amazing band to work with. Their positive, helpful attitude coupled with great talent made for a fantastic event! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality cover band. Thanks for everything gentlemen! -- Halley P, San Diego, CA, 5/28/2008
- The Trip did an amazing job...They Rocked our Corporate Cruise to the max...They took every request that we threw at them and then some...Their musical chops are incredible and they are some very cool guys...I would book them again in a heartbeat!!! -- Savoy B, Newport Beach, CA, 5/21/2008
- Dear Trip:
Who says you can't dance to Led Zepplin? Or U2, Pink Floyd or the Beatles? Can I say you guys rock?
My wife and I disagreed about our choice in music and bands for my 50th recently. Luckily it was my birthday and I won out.
We enjoyed everything about our night with you all and your performance made my weekend even more special. You guys are pros yet not pompous and VERY accomodating. Thanks for letting my 13 year old drum with the band and even a no-talent old rocker like myself get up there and sing (lipsync) to some of my favorite tunes. All our friends raved and talked of flying you to Chicago for another gig. Simply the best. Sincerely, Ron Thauer -- Ron T, San Diego, CA, 4/12/2008
- Steve Fazio and all the members of the Trip were fantastic. Professional, extremely talented, flexible and fun!!! Our guests loved, loved, loved, them! Would hire or recommend again in a heartbeat. Very talented yet audience friendly. Thank you guys!! -- Deb R, Carlsbad, CA, 4/7/2008
- It is a rare that I would book a group without seeing them, however the Trip came so highly recommended that we took the chance. The band was early for the set up and sound check, very flexible with their playlist, and even allowed one of our attendees come up and play with them. We definitely look forward to working with them again!! -- Brett J, Carlsbad, CA, 2/9/2008
- We were so impressed with this band. We hire a band each year for this annual fundraiser. As the coordinator of the event, I field all the complaints when the crowd is not pleased with the band. The Trip received RAVE reviews from all those in attendance on April 18, 2008. The fee was slightly beyond our usual budget, but the gamble totally paid off! They were great, wonderful, talented, professional, charming and flexible. We thoroughly loved them! ...a really, really good band. I would certainly hire them again and recommend them to anyone who asked. -- Brenda M, Yorba Linda, CA, 4/18/2008
- UNBELIEVABLE! Our crowd never stopped dancing and cheering! They are most rocking band we've have here for a very long time! People are already calling to find out when they can hear them again. The energy and attitude that The Trip brings for every gig is unmatched and incredible. The song selection was perfect and they also played a ton of newer songs that no other bands perform. They are a pleasure to talk to and work with. We will continue to hire THE TRIP as much as possible. They really surpised us that they lived up to the hype. If you want a GREAT BAND with no worries and don't want the "same old same old" wedding type bands, hire THE TRIP! -- Chip P, Laguna Beach, CA, 3/14/2008
- The Trip is great. They are an exceptional band. We had them perform for our wedding and they put together a play list that was fun to dance to. In addition, they handled our special requests with ease. You will not be disappointed by hiring these guys!!!!! -- Brent K, Rio Rico, AZ, 3/29/2008
- Great Band but a better bunch of guys. They really made my birthday party a success. I would and will rehire them in a second. -- Tom E, Long Beach, CA, 1/12/2008
- The Trip was a terrific band. They were accomodating with the time, travel, risers and music list. The Gigmaster video of them was great so my husband went to Laguna Beach to see them in person. He was wowed and we booked them right away.
Our event was on Aug. 11 and our guests are still telling us what a great band they.
We'd definitely use them again and recommend them.
Pam and Ron Segni -- Ron S, San Diego, CA, 8/11/2007
- These guys were absolutely awesome! Great music, great interaction with crowd; moreover - impressed corporate executives with their talent & sound! Easy to work with and a crowd favorite - WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone! -- Agi C, Rancho Santa Fe, CA, 10/6/2007
