November 2, 2025Best Wedding Band Ever!💗🖤
GLITz gave us the best gift ever in a nostalgic and memorable wedding that we will never forget. Guests still talk about it years later as the best wedding ever because of GLITZ!
From planning to execution, the whole process was smooth, professional, and seamless. Band singer even did all of the announcements before the ceremony, as well as playing the dinner music we chose.
The band then put on a freaking amazing rock concert featuring the music that my new husband and I listened to in the era in which we fell in love. After waiting a long 30 years for this wedding, it was only appropriate that we had the VERY BEST 80s hair band play after rekindling our love just a few years before that spectacular day.
You will not find a greater group of guys who love what they do while also being phenomenal at it. Vocals, sound, stage effects, musicians.....all incredible. No karaoke here. Just pure 100% talent. And that drummer? ANIMAL!
At this point, we have seen GLITZ play too many times to count. From shows to private parties to our wedding. It never gets old. We love them like family! So much fun!

Monica, this review absolutely made our day! Your wedding was one of our all-time favorite shows - the energy, the love story, the fact that you waited 30 years to celebrate together... we were honored to be part of it.
Thank you for trusting us with such an important night and for being part of the Glitz family all these years. Seeing you and Mark at our shows never gets old for us either! 🎸🖤
Here's to many more concerts together!

As a venue owner, I’ve hosted a lot of live bands over the years, but Glitz stands out as one of the absolute best. They bring the full 80’s hair metal experience — incredible musicianship, authentic sound, and top-notch showmanship that keeps the crowd engaged from the first chord to the final encore.
These guys are true professionals. Communication and setup were smooth and easy, and they showed up prepared, organized, and ready to rock. Once they hit the stage, the energy was off the charts. The crowd loved every minute — people were singing along, dancing, and asking when we’d be bringing them back before the night was even over.
Glitz not only nails the look and sound of the 80’s but also brings a contagious enthusiasm that makes their show feel like an arena concert in an intimate setting. They draw a great crowd, keep people buying drinks, and create a party atmosphere that lasts all night.
I highly recommended for any venue looking for a high-energy, professional band that knows how to entertain and deliver. Their schedule fills up fast! So don't delay.
