Meet the Next did an excellent job. The Summit where the reception was held while a spectacular view and a sophisticated setting, also represents a difficult and challenging venue: Dancing requires transferring guest from the dining area to another room. Ken did an admiral job in leading the transition, flow of the wedding and bringing guess to the dance floor.
Ken's professionalism, quality of work and dedication to the event was superb.

Prom•Reviewed on March 27, 2011•From Louisville, MS
We lost our band 24 hours before our prom. Gig Master helped us find a replacement within 3 hours. These guys were willing to do so much to give us a great prom. The music was great! The dance floor was full of happy teenagers! After the kid's left the prom, the grown-ups hit the dance floor. "Meet the Next" plays great music for all generations. Book this band! You won't be sorry!
I want to thank these guys for their kindness and professionalism. We were so stressed out after losing our original band. They came in, told us not to worry another minute because they were going to make sure our students had a great time. They were so right!

We hired Meet The Next for our courtyard wedding in New Orleans, November 6, 2010. From our initial contact and through months of planning, Ken Gilmer was extremely helpful and supportive through the entire process. He was quick to respond to emails, and accommodated by learning our first dance song. These guys are total professionals - I highly recommend using them for your event!

We were totally pleased with "Meet the Next". Their music was great! They were very professional as well as a fun and entertaining group. They kept our guest engaged and dancing the whole night long. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Unfortunately, our venue was extremly hot because the fans were not working properly but the band did not complain or slow down at all. The temperature of the venue was an issue but we did not have to worry one bit about the band. They did a fabulous job. I would use them again if I ever had an occasion to do so and would highly recommend them to anyone.

We could not have been happier with the kindness, talent, patience, and personality of these guys. We were a crazy crew and lots of speeches and requests- and they were so patient and laughed along with us! Unbelievable talent and so fun. Truly made the best night of our lives that much better. We couldn't have asked for a better band to fit all of our personalities. We're mostly from Los Angeles, so they also fit our crowd more so then anybody we could have hoped for.Thank all of you guys for being AMAZING. Anybody who is debating on a band, we wholeheartedly tell you Meet The Next is your only option!

Meet the Next is the best, most versatile band you could find. The sound was perfect, not too loud but loud enough. They learned a special song for us, and were very accommodating in every way. They are genuinely nice people and amazingly talented. Our guests, who ranged from college frat boys to people in their 80's, were all dancing and begging for more! If you want the dance floor crowded all night, this is the band for you. If you want people still talking about how much fun they had at your event days later, this is the band for you. I honestly cannot say enough about Meet the Next, except that you will not be disappointed in any way!

Meet The Next was WONDERFUL!!! They were great to work with & really made the reception fun! Even my dad (who is not a dancer) took a few spins on the dance floor. They were especially helpful & flexible when I got off my "schedule", any they managed to make everything seamless. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Meet The Next for any event!!!!

Excellent choice for a wedding reception. All my friends were begging for more at the end. The band was very professional, always returned calls promptly, learned songs I requested, and even followed cues for our choreographed wedding dance. I have nothing but high praise! Thanks so much for making my reception fun and memorable.

Prior to the wedding when we were in the planning stages they responded promptly to questions. They provided a great planning document to provide information regarding a play list, directions and requests form the band.
They did a wonderful job at our daughter's wedding reception. They had a good sound and struck a nice balance between energetic dance music and slower more romantic slow dance numbers. The music was just what we expected. Our guests enjoyed the music. The bride and groom were very pleased. We would recommend them highly.

Meet the Next was fabulous! Since the time we booked them, they were always in contact with us and we never had a doubt they would be fantastic! They were complete professionals the entire time and very helpful. They took the time to learn a special song for us and did a great job with it. If you would like to book a band and not have to think twice about them doing the best job, you'll be very pleased with Meet the Next!

Meet the Next was a great addition to our wedding reception! Everyone had such a great time! Everyone was dancing! We really didn't stick to our initial plan at all. We altered our plan to the amount of guests sticking around etc. Meet the next was happy to alter their plans with us! I would definately give Meet the Next two thumbs up.

We loved dealing with Meet the Next. They were incredibly professional, they gave us plenty of options for how we wanted to do things, they arrived early, looked great, and most importantly sounded wonderful. They have a great range of songs and performed flawlessly. They got nearly everyone in our shy/conservative families onto the dance floor, which made our reception far more fun than we had hoped it could be. Especially if you like smooth Sinatra-esque tunes or classic rock, these guys are perfect. Highly, highly recommended!

Well, being that it was my wedding I can't say I remember a whole lot. But the band was really great. The music was good, and people were dancing. They had a good variety and I had absolutely no issues with them. I recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band.
