Perfect Wedding Addition

We hired Rowdy Mountain Band for our camp wedding and our experience from booking to the end of the night was wonderful. JT was super easy to communicate with and came up with the perfect plan for our day. The band was incredible and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests for two different performance locations. They performed an acoustic set for our ceremony and a full band set for the reception. The music itself was amazing and all of our guests loved it. We would definitely recommend hiring Rowdy Mountain Band and JT for any of your bluegrass needs.

Super fun and highly recommend!

JT and his bandmates were an absolute blast at our wedding reception! JT was especially great to work with and came out before our event date to walk an unusual landscape and determine best spots. On the day of, his group of four showed up and put on an amazing bluegrass show for our wedding reception guests in the perfect musical accompaniment to lift the energy of the party. They walked the property, played in different spots, and even moved inside for an impromptu session in our living room while a bit of weather came through. Highly recommend connecting with JT and Rowdy Mountain to add some fun and great music to your day!

Great band!

We loved having Rowdy Mountain at our wedding! The music was wonderful! They even worked up a cover of Time After Time to play while our friends sang. It was really special.

Communication was easy, and they were very friendly. All around a great experience!
