Theresa  · Married on 03-04-2017 

We couldn't be happier that we booked Derek and Heather for our wedding! They totally made our wedding perfect. The dance floor was completely packed for the entire reception. They played our ceremony and cocktail hour and then we used the full band for the reception (5 piece). Once we told them our general vision for the wedding, we totally trusted them and they knew exactly what to do. They were so extremely accommodating and fun to work with. They learned our first dance and even let our musician brother in law play a special song with them. All of our guests have been raving about how great they were. Best decision we made for our wedding was booking them!!

Nicolle  - Married at Edison Estate/The Westin 12-02-2017 

Heather and Derek made my weddding amazing!!! We met before hand which I hear is pretty rare :-) we went over a lot of stuff but they were also super flexible with all of my crazy bride last minute changes! They were patient, kind professional and charismatic. I felt like I have known them my whole life! They not only did my ceremony but they played live at my cocktail hour and DJed the reception. everybody was just raving about how wonderful they were! They even worked with my officiant so we could have a surprise song to play at a specific moment during the ceremony and it was awesome! Thank you guys so much... you deserve all the praise and then some!

Anna  · Married at at Shangri-La 01-22-2016 

If you want live music AND a DJ - JUST HIRE GMB ALREADY! I had very little requests in music for Derek and Heather, a few of them were actually songs I wanted them to learn to play at my wedding (4 to be exact) the rest I just trusted in their judgement as musicians and entertainers. I was SO IMPRESSED by how they delivered each music requests with passion and everyone loved them all night! A lot of people came up to me and told me they loved all my music requests and I just smiled - because I told Derek and Heather to "Do what they do best". I had live music during my ceremony (They sang 3 songs for our ceremony that I requested and they sang our first dance song as well) and they played live music throughout my entire extended cocktail hour (90 minutes). They were amazing MC's and really kept my guests' and my own considerations in mind when selecting music to play. I am SO GLAD I hired GMB for my music and I would recommend them to everyone!

Derek and the band are awesome! He MC'd the reception and the band rocked the house. They are excellent musicians and singers. They go with the flow well and are perfect for weddings. Derek played and sang during our ceremony and was flawless.

Eric  · Married on 04-11-2015 

Boy meets girl rocked the house. They are great people to work with. Their vocals, instrumentals, and dj'ing made our wedding perfect.

Missy  - Married on 03-28-2015 

Derek of GMB did a great job! Music is important to us, so it was an important element of our wedding. He gave us so many songs to choose from, and tried very hard to make sure he didn't play anything we didn't like. It was awesome to have both live acoustic for our ceremony/cocktail and DJ for dinner/dancing. It really was the best of both worlds! He even played my favorite Clapton tune, a special request :) From beginning to end, the music was great. Thumbs up!

Ashley  · Married on 03-21-2015 

I have been watching this band play for years so obviously when it was my own wedding I had to have them play! They are always the best! You have to pick boy meets girl!

Hadley & Dan Lolli - Married at Lely 12-8-14

Derek, 

I cannot say enough about how wonderful you and Heather were this weekend. Guests were raving about you guys and I am so happy that you were a part of our special day. From learning new songs to providing extra audio equipment, you really went above and beyond to make our wedding special, and I can't thank you enough. Dan and I will definitely keep in touch and come visit you guys at the Beach Club, and maybe we can go see Marc Broussard together next time he comes to Florida. Thanks again so much for everything. You guys really helped create a magical ambiance and an unforgettable evening. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. All the best, Hadley

Elizabeth  - Married on 11-23-2014 

Derek was INCREDIBLE!!! Things got crazy the last couple weeks before the wedding and I did not give him as much info as I should have (didn't even tell him what time during my 9min processional song to start it) and he handle everything perfectly!!! He was soo talented with his live music and extremely experienced in reading the crowd and making sure everyone was having fun!!

Sandra & Steven Jahnes - Married at The Boca Grande Club 10-18-14 ​

Derek and Heather,

Stephen and I enjoyed a relaxing mini-moon in Florida after the wedding and have just now finished our first week back in the real world.  Sigh...  Despite all this we still stop and smile all the time over just how perfect the wedding weekend was.  You both, as well as your other band members, were simply amazing.  In fact, we're somewhat at a loss of words as to how to thank you!  Starting with the beautiful beach music, Heather, your The Way I Am had me tearing up - it's was just perfect.  Everyone loved the cocktail hour and, as I understand, some of the family got their dancing off to an early start which is great!  The reception was unbelievable in the way that you got everyone young and old onto the dance floor from the beginning of the night all the way to the grande finale Piano Man.  We wouldn't change one thing about the night and can't thank you enough for your professionalism and talent.  You went above and beyond (Derek, you were our savior delivering the wedding programs!) and for that we are so grateful. We wish you the best! Sandra & Steve

Ann Renner (Mother of the Bride Kelsey Renner) - Collier's Reserve 05-31-2014 

Derek Trenholm and his band were fantastic!! Not only did Derek meet us for coffee well in advance of the wedding (yes, really!) to meet the bride and talk about the music, but he seemed to really CARE about what we were looking for. He actually did two of our daughter's weddings and made it fun, festive, provided fantastic music, and kept it classy!!! He was an energetic Emcee and kept things moving and kept the crowd dancing...We love to see him around town....he really "MADE" both weddings!! By the way, he is as nice and personable as he is talented!

Dave Renner (Father of the bride Kelsey Renner) - Collier Reserve 5-31-14
 

We can't say enough about how pleased we were with Derek and the band.  The dinner music was perfect, entertaining but soft enough to carry on a conversation.  Derek an was excellent MC, smoothly coordinating the flow of the night and adapting as needed, like when I had to do a two part toast and needed him to adjust. And the dance music was unbelievable.  We have had many people say it was the best wedding and the best dancing they have ever seen at a wedding.  As Derek would tell you, I think the dance floor was full for most of the post dinner period, and we probably could have gone to 2:00am with a full group. We also had a couple of the HS/College age guys say it was the most fun they have ever had anywhere!
Thanks again to Derek and the band for making it a complete night!

Kristin  and Brian · Married on 03-22-2014 

When my husband and I got engaged, we knew that we wanted to hire Derek and Heather for our wedding. Since it was a second marriage for both of us, we had a smaller wedding ceremony and the reception was held at our home. We hired Derek as a solo guitarist (Heather was already booked). Derek played for our ceremony and our reception. Leading up to our wedding, Derek was extremely responsive via e-mail, text and phone and he even came to our house to meet with us the week before the wedding. Derek not only provided song suggestions but he also offered to learn songs he didn't know. In addition, Derek helped coordinate the small details and was willing to act as an MC to keep our party going. 

I was somewhat concerned about having live music in our backyard but Derek did an amazing job at keeping our guests entertained - he even interacted with our guests and took song choices from them which everyone loved. We had so many compliments from our guests about how awesome he was! 

My husband and I have been watching Derek and Heather play for many years and they are incredibly talented. They are an infectious couple and you would be lucky to have them for your special day. LOOK NO FURTHER - Derek and Heather are the best! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! 

Thank you Derek and Heather for making our wedding perfect! 

Kristin and Brian
