Amazing!! Green Thirteen was the band at my reception and they truly made my wedding unforgettable. Leading up to the wedding, they were very helpful with the planning - very relaxed yet very organized with awesome planning guides that explained everything. They were super friendly and accommodating throughout the whole process. As far as the reception...THEY ROCKED!! The music was amazing--several guests commented that they felt like they had gone to see an actual band play at a venue! They said, "I would buy tickets to see this band!!" The band was also super kid-friendly, allowing some of the younger guests come up and help them "play". Months after the wedding, I'm still getting compliments on Green Thirteen.

Green Thirteen - The Perfect Wedding Band. The band will make or break your reception so, if you want a crowd-pleasing, "dance all night" band, choose Green Thirteen. They're talented beyond words, fun to work with, professional, and not to mention...affordable!!!! Absolutely everyone loved them. As Mother-of-the-Bride, Patrick instantly appealed to me. "You seem like one of us" I kept telling him. My daughter agreed and said Green Thirteen was everything she hoped for and more. We would gladly hire them again!

Hello. My wife Allie and I got married at the Blue Heron this summer on June 25. Thanks for everything. You guys were great! Allie and I wanted to tell you that we've been to a few other weddings this summer and it made us realize how much you guys kicked a$$! We will always recommend you to our friends. Take care.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to you for making Darcy & Tyler's wedding one that will be long remembered by many. Your talents and exuberance radiated throughout the night. As parents, we truly appreciate all you did to add to the night's success. As artists, you guys rock and are, all in all, pretty awesome!

If we were planning another wedding tomorrow, I'd use you guys again in a heartbeat. You were great!
-Nancy Hirsh, 9/18/11, Wedding Reception, Chicago History Museum, IL
Green Thirteen was simply incredible. Very few live acts have the energy they have. From the beginning to the end they were the glue that kept our party together. They are THE premier party band in Chicago and provide a great sound and a great time!
Thank you...you guys are simply the best!

When the dance floor is never empty & the house lights come on and nobody wants to leave, you know you had a blast of a band. Green Thirteen provided professional coordination of our event, included the children at our wedding by allowing them to play drums & guitar and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Camille even made some of our family look good by joining them on the dance floor.
We danced more than we have in years.

Green Thirteen promised and over delivered. they were highly professional musicians, organized, flexible, helpful and most importantly personable. Although talent is essential, being able to channel it to meet a variety of musical tastes and make it fun is a difficult task. We couldn't have asked for more...it was a wonderful evening.
Eric & Randy Hartwig, 9/3/11, Wedding Reception, Wausau WI
THANK YOU!!!! I was blown away by how many people were on the dance floor from the first song. Today is my first day back at work and everyone has told me what a wonderful time they had and even mentioned how versatile the band was. Everyone really enjoyed your music. You guys did a FANTASTIC job! From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!!!!

We hired Green Thirteen for our wedding reception and were absolutely blown away! The performers were very accommodating, handling all of the introductions, and timing for speeches so that I could just sit back and relax. When they started playing live, people crowded the dance floor and didn't leave until the very end of the reception. I had people dancing who I'd never seen on the dance floor before! All in all the music was amazing, I would recommend this band to everyone. It was by far the best wedding I've ever been to, and I owe it to Green Thirteen!

Everyone had a great time - nothing but compliments! Their set up looked fantastic and they really made the reception something we will remember for a long time. I even asked Rob to try to make up a new version of our first dance song so it would sound more modern. After hearing it, I think they should record it...it was incredible! Rob even gave us some insight on the hot spots in Mexico for our honeymoon. Music & Travel Planning! Thanks for everything, Rob! I'll report back on the Don Julio 1942 when we get back!

We would like to thank Green Thirteen for playing at our wedding reception and thank Gigmasters for helping us find them! The entire reception was amazing beyond our highest expectations. The dance floor was filled the whole night - even by family members I've never seen leave their seat at a wedding! All we heard the entire night was that we found the best band anyone's ever heard at a wedding. Rob was patient with us and helped us through the whole planning process. He even had the band customize an entire medley for the first dances and it was like something you'd see in a movie. Awesome! Everything flowed together perfectly and extremely professionally.
-Erick H, 8/15/2009, Wedding Reception, Glencoe, IL
We do this event every year and they raised the bar on what we should expect in a band. They were very helpful with announcements and speeches throughout and their live performance was out of this world. Somehow they went from old to new material all night without ever stopping between songs. Everyone loved them and they wore us out from dancing!
-Sarah D, 10/3/2009, Corporate Function, Burlington, WI
This band was fantastic. They played for 4 hours with one 15 min. break and never stopped between songs. They were completely professional. There price was reasonably set. If any thing I would think they could ask more. We all had a great night.
-Thatcher W, 10/10/2009, Birthday Party (Adults), Wilmette, IL
Our company picnic was for 500 people. Everyone enjoyed the music and the band was most helpful. We received a number of compliments about the band and would hire Green Thirteen again. Bill Kay Auto Group

I really had many compliments on the band from guests, and they were very professional, and talented. I would definetly hire them again. They played a wide variety of music to accomadate my guests, and everyone appreciated them. We really had fun! Thanks to Green 13!
-Christina K, 10/31/2008, Halloween Party, Berkeley, IL
I hired Green Thirteen as entertainment for our high school reunion. I don't organize things like that very often and it took a lot of time and planning. I think the best thing I did was to hire Green Thirteen. As soon as I booked them it was like they lifted a weight off my shoulders. I've never had the opportunity to work with such a talented and professional group of people. I got nothing but rave compliments about them all night. They really made me look great. If you had a rating higher than 5 stars in every category I would give it to them!
-John A, 8/22/2009, Reunion, Orland Park, IL
Green Thirteen was absolutely brilliant! They were easy to work with and everyone loved them. They even learned a special song for our first dance that a family friend in from Ireland sang with the band. I checked in to some other well known Chicago bands for our wedding and couldn't be happier that I chose Green Thirteen. My wife is an event planner and said that she will be using them for events in the future.
-Alan D, 8/27/2010, Wedding Reception, Chicago, IL
Green Thirteen was great! The only person not happy was the reception hall manager because nobody wanted to leave! LOL Everything was very professional and fun and the music selection was really great. We even had a few "wedding crashers" from other receptions taking place that night who said that they wished they could stay at ours! Great job guys. I'm so glad we found you and we will see you again really soon!
-Kathy P, 8/21/2010, Wedding Reception, Kildeer, IL
Green Thirteen rocked! They went over all our expectations and our reception kicked a#$! They were very easy to work with and made sure that everything we wanted happened. The bridal party intros were great and they even brought in microphones and speakers for the ceremony which was in the reception hall. I didn't want a cheesy wedding. Green Thirteen was able to make everybody happy and still keep things upbeat and young feeling. I'd recommend them to anyone and we can't wait to go out and see them again soon!
-Bobby C, 8/20/2010, Wedding Reception, Chicago, IL
I can't thank Green Thirteen enough for playing at our wedding reception! The music was amazing - they somehow went from older songs all the way to Usher and the Black Eyed Peas and sounded amazing on everything. Everyone we talked to had a great time! They were also extremely helpful with the planing for the night and they were really professional and organized as everything unfolded. I put a lot of thought and planning into our reception and after seeing how great everything turned out, the BEST decision I made was to hire Green Thirteen!
-Jodi C, 7/10/2010, Wedding Reception, Lake Geneva, WI
Everybody LOVED Green Thirteen! They absolutely made our reception. I would recommend this band to anyone who wants a fun dance band that plays a mix of songs for all ages. The sound equipment sounded extremely full and clear, they were a pleasure to work with and we really feel like our wedding meant a lot to them. We feel lucky to have found a band that was easy to work with, reasonably priced and that made our wedding extra special. Thanks guys!
-Paige L, 6/12/2010, Wedding Reception, Bloomington, IL
Green Thirteen couldn't possibly be more professional, more talented or more fun! The reception was excellent and everyone commented on how great the band was. They were very easy to work with, handled all our requests with ease (they even somehow handled a last minute odd request by my grandmother) and made us feel at ease through the whole day with a sense that they knew exactly what they were doing. The customer service they provided and the "all-inclusive" nature of what they provided for us was well worth having them. We are absolutely thrilled that we chose Green Thirteen for our wedding - they were awesome!
