Hello Cherie,
Thanks so much for your great review and for how much effort you put into making our time with you so fabulous!
Everyone at Bad River Casino and Lodge (especially you Cherie) treated us so well. The Pulse had a blast and we look forward to making the trip out to northern Wisconsin again soon!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 7, 2024•From Linden, MI
The Pulse band was great, we booked them without seeing them in person and they definitely exceeded our expectations! The setlist was great they had my husband sit in on guitar for a song. Our patio was not easy to set up on and they made it work and rocked it out! Everyone was up and dancing, would highly recommend!

Celebrated my birthday in 80s fashion and it was a fabulous time. Everyone loved The Pulse, the set list was phenomenal and even played my signature song "Amy" for me. Would highly recommend and use them again.

The Pulse Band was so fun and a great group! They showed up VERY early on a Saturday morning to play for an audience of over 10,000 and everyone attending loved them! The band members were so fun! My key stakeholders were very pleased with their performance and I was especially excited with how they interacted with our audience!
Well done, Pulse! Thanks for a great event!!!

The Pulse made made my 50th! In fact, you truly made everyone's night! I lost count on how many guests came up to me telling me "THIS BAND IS AWESOME!"
And then let's go to the PRE-Event experience with Mike, the Lead Singer and point of contact. He was so wonderful!
And let's not forget the 3 songs you guys learned to play, just for me! This band went OVER & BEYOND for me to ensure my 50th was awesome.
I WILL be hiring The Pulse again, and again for any & all occasions throughout my life where a crowd pleasing cover band is desired.
Hire The Pulse before they get booked; you will be so impressed!

The Pulse band is amazing. We had planned for an outdoor event, but the weather did not cooperate. The Pulse was very accommodating and our guests had a BLAST!! We were able to choose songs from their play list, and they even learned a song that we requested. They all have great range and talent. We plan to ask them back next year!

Wow Teri!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review. You and Jim treated The Band as if we were made of solid gold. We really appreciate your support and your hospitality. We cannot wait to party with you all again!
Musically, yours,

The Pulse was great! Mike was so easy to work with. The Band accommodated all of our request and even learned 3 songs for our first dances. We got compliments all night on how great the band was. They played a great mix of everything and was perfect for our crowd.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 8, 2022•From Troy, MI
For my wife's surprise birthday party I originally was going to hire a DJ to play music in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott hotel. My brother had encouraged me to hire a live band...so I searched online, diligently, and one of the first responses that I had received was from Mike of 'The Pulse'. From viewing their videos and talking with Mike I felt comfortable enough to schedule them. I cannot overstate how WONDERFULLY PLEASED I am for hiring this band. Thier talent was better than I had expected and the band kept everyone on their feet for the entire duration of the party. Thank you Mike and guys for making our party a grand and glorious success ! ! ! ! !

Alan,
The pleasure was ours. Your people were so fun and you treated us all so darned well. Hope to work with you again, soon!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on February 27, 2018•From Ypsilanti, MI
The Pulse is a superb group of musicians. Their performance far surpassed my expectations. Their repertoire was polished, but they were also easily able to handle requests and keep the crowd happy. Mike was easy to work with and flawlessly professional in his management of the wedding reception. The band developed a great rapport with their audience and showed that they really cared that we had a good time and that they wanted to create a memorable event for all of us. Without reservation, I would hire the Pulse again and I would recommend them to anyone looking for expert musicians. They handled everything beautifully.

Georgia,
Thanks so much for your wonderful testimonial and your gracious treatment of the band! We felt like part of the family. The Pulse would love to work with you again, anytime.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 7, 2018•From Clinton Township, MI
Mike Martinez and The Pulse were outstanding with handling the music for our ceremony and playing at our reception! They were set up well in advance of our guests arriving at both locations. All of our music selections were played as requested. The bands performance was very professional and entertaining. Mike was excellent with handling the events (our arrival, cake cutting, bouquet and garter, father daughter/mother son dances, etc.) throughout the evening. Our guests really enjoyed themselves, dancing through the last song of the night. The Pulse is a great wedding band!

Wedding•Reviewed on May 6, 2018•From Royal Oak, MI
We are so happy to have found The Pulse. Mike was just so easy to work with. Their skill and sound was unbelievable and all real too. No fake-sounding, cheesy backing tracks. They do any type of music and even learned new songs for us. The PA, the lights, wireless mic, all of it was top notch. They made our wedding a huge success and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how great our band was. Everything was simply PERFECT. If you’re having any type of event, do yourself a favor and hire this band. You will be so glad you did. Thank you Mike! Thank you to The Pulse! Thank you Gigmasters!

Thanks to you folks!..lol We were very happy to be part of your special day and hope to work with you again soon. Congratulations!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 31, 2018•From New Baltimore, MI
The Pulse is the most amazing band I’ve ever seen! From the moment I met Mike, he made everything so easy. Their song list is huge. Mike offered stylized shows (Motown, Country, Classic Rock, etc.), but we opted for a variety show. Mike worked with me up until the day of the event. They even learned songs just for our party at no extra charge.
The Pulse were not only the ultimate professionals, they were also so much fun! They played hits from all decades and all categories. We had guests ranging in age from 6 to 73 and everyone danced all night. Their sound is superb! So talented!
We’ve used other bands before, but this is the only band we’ll use from now on.

Kim, thanks so much for your awesome review! We had a great time and are looking forward to working with you again soon!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 5, 2017•From Fenton, MI
We had no experience in hiring a band, but wanted one for my husband's 40th birthday celebration. The Pulse made the process easy. They were professional and made the process easy. The event went off without a hitch, and all of our guests had a great time. I especially liked that they played DJ music between sets to keep the party going while they took a break. The colored light show was an added bonus. We loved their sound and will hire them again for future events! Thanks!

Janelle and Craig,
For not having any experience dealing with Bands, you sure gave us some red carpet treatment. We enjoyed you and your crowd so much and we're really looking forward to doing another event with you soon!
Warmest regards,

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 1, 2014•From East Lansing, MI
The Pulse was FANTASTIC!! They can play everything, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception. They're the only band we could find that can perform a variety of music. We wanted oldies, Motown, and R&B for the older crowd earlier in the night, and then classic, 80's, 90's and modern rock and pop music later in the night for the younger crowd, and this band does ALL these styles PHENOMENALLY!! The plan was perfect thanks to this band: parents & grandparents were living it up the first half of the reception, and our friends, siblings and cousins were jumping around to "All the Small Things" by the end. I honestly couldn't recommend them more!!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 14, 2014•From Northville, MI
We had The Pulse play at our wedding and they were amazing. So very accommodating and professional from day 1. Classical guitar and piano were played before and during the ceremony, softer music during dinner and then more dance music for the remainder of the night. The evening could not have gone better. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend The Pulse and would use them again for future parties.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 3, 2012•From Grosse Pointe, MI
I cannot thank you enough for the great evening you provided my wife and I for our wedding at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. I quickly realized we were not just dealing with any band. Mike was extremely accommodating and put my wife and I at ease. He was accessible for any changes including right up to the week before the wedding. Words cannot say enough about how thrilled we were with their performance throughout the entire evening. Every guest raved about the entertainment, and I have never seen so many family and friends dance for an entire evening. Once they began to play, the dance floor was never left empty.
Thank you for everything,
Daniel & Alda Stahl

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 15, 2012•From Cleveland, OH
You could not ask for a better group to perform at your next event. Not only was The Pulse one of the most talented bands I have seen for wedding/birthday events, but they accomodated all special requests and managed the entire process with professionalism and courtesy.
The band members walked me thru all of the necessary details and was willing to make my event the best I have ever attended. You would have thought that my event was the only event that The Pulse played, or will play this year.
Not one guest did not say that this was the best band they had ever experienced.
Highly recommended!!
