"Griffin and the Gargoyles performed at our daughter's wedding on Saturday evening!!!!! They were absolutely incredible!!!!! Our guests can not stop talking about how great they were and have all asked for their information!!!!! Thank you for making Lindsay & Todd's wedding fun and perfect!!!!!! We also had the one member of the band play the keyboard at the ceremony. He was incredible!!!!! Wish they were available for our next daughter's wedding!!!"

"When I ask my friends if they had fun at our wedding, they all say the same thing, "The band was AWESOME!" And it's true. Griffin and the Gargoyles totally made a rockin' reception. Our guests were on the floor from 7 pm until 10:45 pm because the hits just kept on on coming. And not only that, but they were also extremely customer-focused. They learned our first song (in just a week because it was advertised as something they played on their website and I was disappointed they didn't know it anymore), and made all the traditional wedding activities like bouquet and garter toss super fun. You will not regret hiring this band - they are amazing!"
--Katie Rule
"I would highly recommend! The band kept the crowd dancing literally the entire night. Of our entire wedding, our band by far received the most compliments. Could not have been more pleased how they turned out!"
--Kathy Smith
"Griffin and the Gargoyles had our guests talking about our wedding for months afterwards!!! They really rocked it while catering to a lot of different tastes. The grandparents and older guests danced as much as the 20 somethings. Besides being such AWESOME entertainment they were so great to work with during the planning process, coordinating first dance songs and such. I've even had multiple couples consider this band for their upcoming weddings because they were that impressed at our wedding. BRAVO!"

"Griffin and the Gargoyles played at my daughter's wedding on 10/12/13. They were fabulous! They definitely know how to read a crowd. The dance floor was full from the first dance to the last. The guests had a great time, and the smile on my daughter's face as she was dancing was priceless. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!"
