The Trip is honestly the best band to hire on the market. They played our wedding on march 13th it's been 2 weeks and I have alredy had 5 calls from friends requesting the bands name and number to hire for their parties. They work with you on every aspect and are willing and able to play about anything you want. If you want a band to make the party then these are the guys! Couldn't be happier with their proformance. Thanks Guys.

These guys are AWESOME! We had the best wedding that we could have imagined, and a lot of credit is due to the band- The TRIP. They played all the songs we hoped for, and every song sounded like it was the original artist playing. The dance floor was constantly packed.
On top of that, the band was GREAT about conducting announcements, toasts, first dances, etc. I don't have enough good things to say about this band- I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them.

Stop your search now and hire The Trip! You will be VERY glad you did. I'm a producer/musician myself and these guys are THEE tightest cover band I've ever heard or seen. They are all super cool guys, and as professional as any band I've ever come across.(including bands that do originals)
You will not find a band with more diversity that plays everything so close to the originals--your audience will be wowed. EVERY single person at our party commented on how awesome they were, and will never forget it. These guys are worth every penny and more. Wisely cut your budget elsewhere if you can book them! Thanks guys, you ROCK!

Our experience with The Trip was over the top awesome!! Eric, the guitarist played during the ceremony providing a lovely musical setting. During the reception the dance floor was never empty!! From grandparents to friends of the bride and groom everyone was dancing and having a fantastic time!! Our only complaint, we could have danced all night but The Trip had to go home:(
Thank you all so very much for being so nice, so professional and soooo good helping to make the wedding day soooo special!!

If you want the absolute BEST band to play your event, these are the guys. True polished pros. They set up on time, played all our requests and were a blast. Their song mix was right on and their sound mix was perfect. Thanks guys for making our event one my friends will talk about for a long time.

The Trip was awesome! All of our guests (of all ages) raved about them! We didn't discuss a playlist ahead of time, as they said they would play based on their read of the audience, and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. They can play such a wide range of music so well (they even played a Rush song at the request of one of the groomsmen, and they nailed it!). If you're considering the Trip for your wedding, DO IT! It will be so worth it! Best wedding band ever! Also, we had Erik play acoustic guitar for the ceremony and it was also amazing, played perfectly and at the right volume. A big thank you to the Trip from us, you guys made our wedding!!!

Steve and the Entire Trip Team,
I don't know where to begin to say THANKS for such a great event. To this day, everyone continues to comment on how good the band was. The common theme, "Nando, where did you find that Band, they ROCKED!". Anyway, Many Many Thanks for making The Trip up to Lemoore and putting on a great show. I will always keep you guys in mind and if we get the chance again down the road, we know straight where to go, to find you. Your professionalism in every aspect, considering all the logistics and "military" requirements sure made the event memorable and "easy". Thanks again, wish you all the best, and....... KEEP ROCKIN.......Nando!

This is our second time booking The Trip. They are a great band with a lot of talent, very easy to work with. This band has a wide verity of music. We enjoyed having them perform at our Holiday Party. I had a number of guests enquire about the Band. They thought they were great and it truly showed with the number of guests on the dance floor. Thanks again guys we had a blast!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 14, 2010•From Palm Springs, CA
From the moment our wedding was over guests were calling us to say that they haven't had that much fun in years and that it was the band that made the night so awesome! The Trip were absolutely fantastic. They were professional and spot on with every song. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish and our friends and family literally had to be kicked off the dance floor once the night was over or else they would have been up there till the morning came. They covered every song perfectly, with great positive energy, giving you a performance you would only expect from a rock concert at a venue like the Hollywood Bowl!!!

These guys were the best. We had a large group from Ireland and they absoutely loved to band. Many said it was the best and most fun wedding they had ever been too. No kidding they were dancing until 3:30 am. Pass my comments along and many thanks!!!!!!!!!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 8, 2010•From La Jolla, CA
We hired The Trip to perform at our wedding on July 4, 2010 in La Jolla. Based on everything we read about the band, we had extremely high expectations. I can confidently say that they exceeded those expectations by about 10 miles. We had the best time ever, and we know all of our friends and family did as well. They are true professionals, excellent musicians and outstanding performers (not to mention being very easy to work with). In short, there is no way they could have possibly done a better job.
If you are considering them for your event, my advice is to book them now.
Feel free to email me at abratt@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on January 1, 2013•From San Diego, CA
They were great... This is the second time I have used them... this time for a house party with a trio, the first time for a big company party on the USS Midway, I think with 5 band members if remember correctly... Both times they were fabulous... both times I received compliments from the guests on the quality of their performance and their repertoire... and they were really fun to work with onsite... the pre-planning was a little low key which is why I put the 4 on professionalism... But Steve got back to me quickly every time... also, it was a rush job for the day after Christmas with only a week's notice... so considering...it was fabulous..

I have had the pleasure of hiring The Trip for 3 events and each time they performed beyond expectations. They were punctual, professional, and their talent unmatched to any other band I've hired. A definite crowd pleaser, this group is fantastic! Don't miss out on a chance to have them perform at your event!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 6, 2009•From Olympic Valley, CA
This was the most fantastic wedding band! After the first dance and the father-daughter dance, the guests literally flooded the dance floor and did not stop dancing until the party ended. They were so so so fun. My mother literally asked the hotel if they were sure we wouldn't break through the dance floor because the room was basically shaking. Also, they can play really different types of music very very well. I would hire them again without hesitation.
Also, they were just easy to work with. They answered the phone whenever I called and were very helpful when the hotel made them set up very early at the last minute. Thanks so much!!!

Steve and the band were absolutely the best. My daughter loved them. They got rave reviews from everyone at the wedding. They learned Sugar Magnolia and it was great. I've got one more daughter and if at all possible they'll be playing at that wedding too.

The Trip is one of the greatest bands ever. They nail every song, every word, every lick. They are truly remarkable. They made our wedding so incredable, that it's hard for me to even describe it. All of our guests could not stop raving about how good they were, and how they couldn't remember the last time they heard a band at a wedding, let alone one so killer. We are indebted to the Trip for being the highlight of a perfect day. Thank you.

We were blown away by the performance the Trip gave at our venue on Saturday, March 5th, 2011! Erik (band member / management) was extremely professional and courtesy to work with. The band arrived to our event on time, equipment setup, and were began to rock the house. Our guests, management, and team members were all having a great time. There cover songs were spot on, and there song choice was spectacular! We will definitely use the Trip, time and time again in the future.

I had heard The Trip was a great band but I never in my wildest dreams expected them to be as amazing as they were. They were so nice to work with, travelled 2,000 miles for our wedding, learned new songs and MADE our night one to remember. I don't know if you're supposed to stay passed midnight at your own wedding, but we couldn't leave the dance floor -- they were just too good! Thank you guys for everything!

The Trip was absolutely awesome and completely lived up to my expectations. They had people on their feet moving and praising their talents. As a backyard event, we prepared for the electrical need ahead of time, unfortunately, the electrician made a mistake and we lost power twice. My heart was broken, but Steve and crew helped come to the rescue by running cords and making the music come back to life. It cut down on the overall playing time, but I don't think anyone remembered since the performance was so strong. The only regret- I did not ask for more time! I am trying to think when we can have them next, don't hesitate if you're looking. Thanks, guys.

You guys were awesome!!! We can't even count how many compliments we received for your outstanding music. Our guests had such a blast! Thank you for being so flexible and playing past the original time discussed and for setting up your equipment twice due to the rain. We could've danced all night long if it wasn't for our venue's curfew. The introductions were perfect too, just how we imagined them. You are all outstanding musicians and people and it was such a pleasure working with you.
With deep gratitude, Doug and Jenna
PS If you are searching for a band that will get your guests dancing then look no further because The Trip is your band!
