Wedding•Reviewed on August 10, 2009•From Foxburg, PA
Just a great night overall. Communication was a breeze. They accomodated our late request for a song that was not on their current setlist. Played great acoustic music for the ceremony, kept the place buzzing during appetizers with mainly instrumental music, and then tore the place down during the actual reception. They got rave reviews from everyone I talked to and the dancing was constant even though we lost the breeze and it got pretty humid and hot later. They also honored the original contract even though the distance they had to travel was almost twice as far as what Gigmasters had stated when we booked them. Total professionals, highly recommended.

Labor Day Party•Reviewed on August 31, 2008•From Hyattsville, MD
Zipper played at our first annual block party. Thanks to the band everyone on the block can’t wait to party with them again next year. A perfect band for family and friends of all ages; Zipper played all the songs we wanted to hear. Every member of the band was 100% professional from the time we booked them until the time they departed. And if the music wasn’t enough, the band manager came with a camera and filled in as the block party photographer! We can’t say enough how satisfied we were!

Zipper were absolutely fantastic every step of the way. They were accommodating during the planning process and masterful in their execution. The band were exceptionally friendly, and their interaction with the crowd was very engaging. They kept the dance floor full for the entire event, and EVERYONE commented on how good they were. I am absolutely pleased with their performance and would recommend them without reservation to anyone!

Zipper played at our home for our daugther's 21st birthday. They did a nice job of reading the crowd and entertaining all ages. They were also very flexible with their setup given an outdoor event. Would definately recommend them for a fun evening!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 8, 2009•From Potomac, MD
Zipper is a 10+!!! We hired them to play for my 50th B-Day party in my backyard and from the moment we booked our gig until the moment they said goodbye, it was a great experience. They showed up early, played great music and even had my kids play a song with the band! All of my friends asked me for their contact info. I want to have another party just so I can have them come back! If you're thinking about hiring a classic rock cover band, hire Zipper!!! They ROCK!

Halloween Party•Reviewed on November 1, 2010•From Washington, DC
We have used Zipper twice: at my husband's 40th BD party, all was set up and then it began to rain. Zipper proved their good humor and professionalism by quickly accomodating to the lousy conditions and providing the fantastic music that kept our guests happy, upbeat and entertained. We could not have had as good a time (a really memorable party at the end) without Zipper. Because they were so wonderful and talented we were delighted to have them play for us at our Halloween party. So many guests came up to me to compliment the band and the music. We will use them at our parties in the future! Highest recomendation without reservation -- Book them!!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 26, 2006•From Occoquan, VA
The band Zipper is an excellant value! Good talent, good time and in my case the high point of my daughter's reception. They play the older songs, but they play their versions of them which was quite entertaining. I think all of those who enjoy rock & roll had an excellent time thanks to them. VERY PLEASED with Zipper.

Cruise Ship Event•Reviewed on May 5, 2006•From Washington, DC
I can't tell you how impressed we are with how professional and talented this group is. We planned a long distance party for our daughter on the Capital Elite cruise ship just ONE WEEK ahead of time and Zipper bent over backwards to help us make it happen. The review from the college students (the toughest critics!)who enjoyed the party was "They were AWESOME!!) Thank you very much, Zipper, for truly "making the party"!

An extremely professional band. They are very talented, and made our event tons of fun! On and off stage, they are a very nice, easy going bunch of guys. They are very easy to work with and showed up right on time. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants great entertainment with no hassel. Worth every penny and then some!
Thanks again,

Zipper was great. It rained on my outdoor party, but they squished in a smallish indoor space, and the party went on. They were lively and fun. The music was just what I expected from the description on Gigmasters. Highly recommend them - and we'll probably have them again for future parties. Dave & Jennifer

Zipper was great. They played on our hockey rink as over 60 kids skated around. They entertained over 180 adults and kids. The music was excellent and fun. Zipper provided us with ample information prior to the event to know what they required. They showed up on time and set up quickly. The entire music event was flawless. I highly recommend this band due to their professionalism and great sound. They are fun to listen to and great to work with.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 24, 2009•From Easton, MD
We booked Zipper for our wedding in MD. Susan was helpful and responded quickly to any questions that we had. The band did not know the song that we wanted for our first dance and offered to learn it (months in advance)- although we were fine to play it from an ipod. This turned out to be a big mistake. They clearly did not spend any time learning it, as most notes were missed and words were made up. We cringed through the whole song. When the band got back to their usual repertoire things were fine and our guests had a good time. All in all it turned out fine, and one day we will probably laugh about how bad our first dance was. Just not yet....

Graduation Party•Reviewed on September 14, 2009•From Sparrows Point, MD
My parents gave me a party for graduating college and I requested a live band for entertainment. Well let me tell you Zipper was just sensational and wonderful to work with. Susan was just lovely,such a positive person. She kept in touch with me from the time of booking to the day of the party. I met the guys the night of my party and they were just great. They were very personable and friendly. Every request I or my family had they followed through all the way. My friends and family just loved them. What an awesome band and what great down to earth people. I just can't say enough great things about them! Thanks a lot Zipper, you all just Rocked!!!!

Zipper, was absolutely fantastic to work with! Susan was so friendly and easy to communicate with. Her responses were always timely and professional. They even learned songs not on their set list for both our first dance and father/daughter dance! They were high energy and kept everyone on their feet the entire night! We loved them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for wedding/party entertainment. Great Band!

Retirement Party•Reviewed on June 30, 2010•From Quantico, VA
Susan Cummins was our point of contact for the band. She was professional and accomodating. The band showed up at our venue early, set up and were playing appropriate music as our guests arrived. They were talented,entertaining, and appropriate for our retirement party that included kids to old folks. They set the gregarious mood we wanted. I had never booked a band before and they were easy to work with and made our retirement party memorible. I would gladly hire them again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 21, 2010•From Manassas, VA
Zipper is a class act from beginning to finish.Pre-event coordination was thorough and the band's manager (Susan) was responsive and a pleasure to work with.The band arrived early & started on time.They are talented musicians, have a great sound/range which provided the perfect punctuation to our party.They accommodated all song requests (and even guest singers).The event was on a sunny hot summer day & even though they were playing outside (in the direct heat), they didn't complain once (we eventually got a tent for shade).Everyone enjoyed their performance and I would recommend them for anyone looking for quality performers to enhance their celebration!
