June 12, 2023Wedding Ceremony
We loved having Grasstime at our wedding! They played music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and did a fantastic job! They let us customize our set and they learned some songs just for us. We’ve also listened to them at a few outdoor venues locally and have always had a great time.

June 10, 2022The best! Hope to hire them again!
We hired Grasstime to play the music during our wedding ceremony and then during cocktail hour afterward. They played 30 minutes of instrumental music in the church before the ceremony started, then played the processionals and all the ceremony music, then hopped over to our reception venue and played an hour+ of great bluegrass while our guests had cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before dinner.
They were fabulous! The ceremony music was beautiful, gentle, and reverent and hit the exact tone we were hoping for. Then they cranked it up for cocktail hour and it was a blast - so upbeat and fun and really got people in the mood to have fun! Grasstime has an extensive repertoire and sounded so great together - plus they were so fun and so easy to work with. They have a deep bench of musicians and instruments and were so flexible. I am SO grateful we came across Grasstime here on Gigsalad and that they were able to be there to make our wedding just the way we hoped it would be! I'd hire them again in a heartbeat - and I hope I will have the chance to in the future!

Heeey Lindsay...Gosh thank you so very much for the kind and sweet words! And please do thank your sweet mother for the voice mail yesterday, as that just made my day. We were so honored that we got to join your family on your special day, and absolutely thrilled that we could play a part in making it memorable.
You and Trina made that so much easier to help ensure that we could give you the experience that you wanted. It was such a beautiful wedding! I do hope our paths cross again, please come out and visit us at the winery! Until then....
Thanks again, and heartfelt congratulations.
Cheers,
Robbie

October 11, 2020you NEED these folks at your event!!
I had heard Grasstime band play live at Arrington Vineyards and KNEW they’d be great at my wedding. I booked them to play for my ceremony and cocktail hour and it was beautiful. My guests really enjoyed the live band and entertainment they provided. They are easy to work with and Robbie is a super kind human. I’d give more stars if I could. Thanks for being a part of our special day!
