Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 31, 2018•From Union, WA
They were absolute perfection. They read the room and played to the crowd. We hired them for our small wedding (50 people) and they set the tone from the beginning. Before the event they made sure they were clear on expectations. Several of our guests commented on how wonderful they were and asked for their info. If we have any excuse to hire them again we will!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 14, 2019•From Poulsbo, WA
Half Pack Live were amazing! We had always talked about having a live band since we started planning the wedding, and after doing some research we found them. With all the wonderful wedding things happening on the day, we just walked into the reception and they were all set up and ready to go, after the dinner and speeches. We had requested a few songs and also asked for some Bluegrass music, that was certainly a highlight! Our guests loved dancing to well performed live music and it certainly left another magical mark on our special day. They even played an impromptu leaving song which ended such a wonderful day in a meaningful way. Thank you Half-Pack Live!

This was my first time hiring a band for an event but Rachael worked with me to figure out how much time we should have recorded music vs how long the band should play. She helped me to create a set list for the band and completely handled the recorded music, which was very nice. Once the band started playing, it was amazing! These guys really are great! I would absolutely work with them again and would highly recommend them to others.

Thank you!

We hired Half Pack Live for our New Year's Eve Wedding. We love the old standards and Motown. They performed excellently - the guests loved the music and they had them on the floor all night! I had many guests tell me it was the best party they had been to in years and I know this band was a big part of the fun! I would recommend them to anyone.

My husband and I felt that having live music at our wedding reception was a priority, and I am so glad that we found Half-Pack live. Half pack live looks and sounds even better than the videos that are offered through GigMasters website for your viewing. It was very easy to communicate with lead band member Rachael regarding details, and the special requests turned out better than I could have imagined. We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Half Pack Live!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 1, 2016•From Seattle, WA
We presented Half Pack Live with a movie theme for our Christmas party. They took the idea and turned into a mini production that made you feel like you were in the movie. They truly went over and beyond what was expected of them and delivered one of the best performances of the year here. They have a rich sound and great personality to match any environment. Thank you Half Pack Live for making the evening so special and memorable for our residents.

They are very talented and very professional! I highly recommend them and would hire them again in a minute. They provided music for a Celebration of Life and many guests commented on how wonderful the music was and how much it added to the event. Thank you so much Half-Pack Live for making the Celebration a true celebration of my husband's life.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on January 14, 2014•From Tacoma, WA
This band was excellent. They're great musicians and were so much fun to watch that their performance ended up being one of the highlights of the party.
They were also really easy to work with: friendly and accommodating, adapting to all our requests with enthusiasm and grace.
In short, they communicated clearly, arrived on time, looked & sounded great, and best of all, played a fun set that got even our parents dancing!
We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I cannot say enough about Half-Pack Live! Rachael worked closely with me to tune the music to my party needs and sent me music examples to help me visualize her ideas. The band was on-time, professional, and even dressed in the party theme on their own. I would hire them in a heartbeat!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 23, 2014•From Seattle, WA
To the Half Pack Live Crew... a HUGE thank you. We had a blast! For review purposes, the band arrived on time, set up in fine condition even with our unique stage arrangements. Song selections were well thought out for the crowd and enthusiastically received inspiring many people to dance, as they should. Beyond dance, the band set a tone of class for the evening, and that's a big part of what we were striving for. Musical talent runs deep and was on display for the evening. Even if you weren't dancing, you appreciate the musical talent. The result is a fun event enhanced by a great band.
Well done and cheers.

Troy and the Band were fantastic! They totally set the mood for the event - nearly everyone asked "where did you find these guys?" and everyone said that I had "set the bar way too high" for the party. It was such a pleasant evening and everyone LOVED the music - I could NOT have been happier with Half-Pack Live!!! Not only would I recommend them to everyone else, I hope to hire them again in a heartbeat!

Half-Pack Live! gave us a stellar performance - exactly what we expected with the songs we expected to hear. This is always a great relief when planning an event as this was the first time we contracted with Half-Pack Live. They communicated with us regularly before the performance, arrived on time and as promised, and their performance was fabulous! They had amazing energy on the stage and their songs were right on target with our needs. I would recommend Half-Pack Live to anyone who asked! They were spectacular! Great voices, terrific energy, fabulous performance! Thank you Half-Pack Live! You made us look good and for that we appreciate you!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on January 17, 2009•From Portland, OR
If there were more than 5, I would rate them higher on every single count. Half Pack Live were PERFECT for my corporate party. We had people from 3 states there and all night long I heard comments that this band was amazing, incredible, perfect, great, fantastic....the superlatives went on all night long. When not one person out of 260 says a negative thing, and actually go out of their way to seek me out and tell me that their feelings on the band, I know I've made the right choice. Mark Haynie was a pleasure to deal with, and the entire band was very accomodating with a couple of glitches in the schedule that I had to throw at them that evening.
