First of all, I can not tell you enough how great you guys were during our reception after my wedding on December 17th! Everyone I spoke to kept talking about how great the evening was, and how wonderful the band was.
I just want to say thank you for doing such a great job! The song you learned for our first dance was perfect, and everything else throughout the night was just as perfect. You set the mood we wanted, and you were able to rock when we needed it. And thanks for taking requests from my friends. I will always recommend you to anyone I know who needs a band. Thanks!

Ken & the band - Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our wedding reception at Watercolor. From the impressive vocals to the amazing music, you sure made us and our guests want to dance! And to think we booked you through viewing your online wedding demo! Well, your demo doesn't even begin to do you justice and we are so glad you could be a part of our big day. Thanks to you, our reception was a big hit! Take care and thanks again!

I just wanted to thank "Meet The Next" for doing such an outstanding job at my daughter's reception. I had so many people come up to me and ask who you were because of the wonderful variety of songs you performed. You exceeded my expectations and I will highly recommend you to anyone who is seeking a band for their event! It was a pleasure working with you

We loved dealing with "Meet the Next". They were incredibly professional, they gave us plenty of options for how we wanted to do things, they arrived early, looked great, and most importantly sounded wonderful. They have a great range of songs and performed flawlessly. They got nearly everyone in our shy/conservative families onto the dance floor, which made our reception far more fun than we had hoped it could be. Especially if you like smooth Sinatra-esque tunes or classic rock, these guys are perfect. Highly, highly recommended!

We lost our band 24 hours before our prom. These guys were willing to do so much to give us a great prom. The music was great! The dance floor was full of happy teenagers! After the kid's left the prom, the grown-ups hit the dance floor. "Meet the Next" plays great music for all generations. Book this band! You won't be sorry! I want to thank these guys for their kindness and professionalism. We were so stressed out after losing our original band. They came in, told us not to worry another minute because they were going to make sure our students had a great time. They were so right!

We hired Meet The Next for our courtyard wedding in New Orleans, November 6, 2010. From our initial contact and through months of planning, Ken Gilmer was extremely helpful and supportive through the entire process. He was quick to respond to emails, and accommodated by learning our first dance song. These guys are total professionals - I highly recommend using them for your event!

We were totally pleased with "Meet the Next". Their music was great! They were very professional as well as a fun and entertaining group. They kept our guest engaged and dancing the whole night long. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Unfortunately, our venue was extremly hot because the fans were not working properly but the band did not complain or slow down at all. The temperature of the venue was an issue but we did not have to worry one bit about the band. They did a fabulous job. I would use them again if I ever had an occasion to do so and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Well, being that it was my wedding I can't say I remember a whole lot. But the band was really great. The music was good, and people were dancing. They had a good variety and I had absolutely no issues with them. I recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band
-Nathan K, 6/19/2010, Wedding Reception, Birmingham, AL
I would definintely hire this band again and recommend them to everyone! They were wonderful.

We had an amazing time and enjoyed every minute of our wedding reception. We have heard many many many praises from our wedding guests on how wonderful everything was. Our family, especially, loved that you played their request before departing for the evening. Thank you again, Michael and Adelyn Dinkins Oxford, MS May 15, 2010

We could not have been happier with the kindness, talent, patience, and personality of these guys. We were a crazy crew and lots of speeches and requests - and they were so patient and laughed along with us! Unbelievable talent and so fun. Truly made the best night of our lives that much better. We couldn't have asked for a better band to fit all of our personalities. We're mostly from Los Angeles, so they also fit our crowd more so then anybody we could have hoped for. Thank all of you guys for being AMAZING. Anybody who is debating on a band, we wholeheartedly tell you Meet The Next is your only option!
-Heather P, 5/1/2010, Wedding Reception, Dothan, AL
Meet the Next is the best, most versatile band you could find. The sound was perfect, not too loud but loud enough. They learned a special song for us, and were very accommodating in every way. They are genuinely nice people and amazingly talented. Our guests, who ranged from college frat boys to people in their 80's, were all dancing and begging for more! If you want the dance floor crowded all night, this is the band for you. If you want people still talking about how much fun they had at your event days later, this is the band for you. I honestly cannot say enough about Meet the Next, except that you will not be disappointed in any way!
-Phyllis C, 1/23/2010, Wedding, Birmingham, AL

Meet the Next was fabulous! Since the time we booked them, they were always in contact with us and we never had a doubt they would be fantastic! They were complete professionals the entire time and very helpful. They took the time to learn a special song for us and did a great job with it. If you would like to book a band and not have to think twice about them doing the best job, you'll be very pleased with Meet the Next!

Meet the Next was a great addition to our wedding reception! Everyone had such a great time! Everyone was dancing! We really didn't stick to our initial plan at all. We altered our plan to the amount of guests sticking around etc. Meet the next was happy to alter their plans with us! I would definately give Meet the Next two thumbs up.

Meet The Next was WONDERFUL!!! They were great to work with & really made the reception fun! Even my dad (who is not a dancer) took a few spins on the dance floor. They were especially helpful & flexible when I got off my "schedule", any they managed to make everything seamless. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Meet The Next for any event!!!!
-Courtney C, 10/4/2008, Wedding, Birmingham, AL
Excellent choice for a wedding reception. All my friends were begging for more at the end. The band was very professional, always returned calls promptly, learned songs I requested, and even followed cues for our choreographed wedding dance. I have nothing but high praise! Thanks so much for making my reception fun and memorable.
