TL;DR
-
The
Phunky
Monkeys
are
one
of
the
most
extraordinary
groups
of
musicians
I
have
ever
seen
play.
Every
single
person
at
my
wedding
said
they
were
the
best
band
they
had
ever
seen
at
a
wedding,
and
I
don’t
know
how
a
better
band
could
possibly
exist.
I
recommend
them
with
my
entire
being,
and
if
you
make
a
single
decision
for
your
wedding/event,
make
that
decision
hiring
the
Phunky
Monkeys,
and
everything
else
will
fall
into
place.
—
It’s
been
3
weeks
since
the
Phunky
Monkeys
played
our
wedding
and
blew
the
doors
off
the
place,
and
people
are
still
texting
me
on
a
near
daily
basis
about
how
incredible
they
were.
I
personally
still
can’t
find
the
words
to
express
how
phenomenal
they
were
from
the
first
note
they
played
to
the
last.
I
am
in
awe
of
every
single
one
of
these
musicians
and
can't
fathom
how
they
are
all
in
the
same
group.
My
favorite
weddings
are
the
ones
where
I
never
left
the
dance
floor.
They
are
the
ones
where
we
leave
on
a
high
that
could
only
be
delivered
by
a
great
band
-
a
euphoria
that
cannot
be
manufactured
but
must
happen
organically.
We
made
it
our
mission
to
give
people
that
experience,
so
we
would
do
anything
we
could
to
get
the
best
possible
band
for
our
wedding,
and
we
found
that
in
the
Phunky
Monkeys.
For
two
months,
my
non
working
hours
were
spent
watching
everything
I
could
find
on
YouTube,
Instagram,
TikTok,
wedding
websites,
and
band
websites.
I
read
every
single
review
that
I
could.
I
created
a
detailed
spreadsheet
ranking
every
signal
that
I
could
find,
and
I
kept
coming
back
to
the
Phunky
Monkeys.
It
turns
out
that,
while
this
work
made
me
more
confident
in
my
choice,
it
probably
wasn't
necessary,
as
every
time
I
asked
a
vendor
who
their
favorite
band
was,
they
told
us
the
Phunky
Monkeys.
I
probably
should
have
just
taken
them
at
their
word.
When
I
say
that
the
Phunky
Monkeys
blew
my
expectations
out
of
the
water,
I
am
embarrassed
as
to
how
much
I
am
understating
just
how
much
they
overdelivered
even
my
wildest
dreams.
For
their
first
three
songs,
they
played
You
Can
Call
Me
Al,
where
they
had
a
conga
line
going
through
our
entire
venue
on
the
first
song
(how?!?!?!?),
Shout,
and
Proud
Mary,
and
I
started
to
get
worried.
These
are
supposed
to
be
songs
that
you
build
to,
and
here
we
were
playing
them
out
of
the
gate.
How
were
we
supposed
to
keep
the
energy
up
for
the
rest
of
the
night?
Somehow,
though,
the
rest
of
the
night
got
better
and
better
as
they
tore
through
song
after
song
that
kept
the
dance
floor
completely
packed.
I
don't
think
people
really
ate
at
our
wedding,
and
I'm
not
even
sure
how
much
people
drank.
We
had
210
people,
and
not
a
single
one
of
them
wanted
to
step
away
from
dance
floor.
I
have
truly
never
seen
anything
like
it,
and
guest
after
guest
has
approached
us
to
tell
us
that
our
wedding
was
one
of
the
best
nights
of
their
lives,
and
that
was
because
of
Mike
Taylor
and
this
group.
I
truly
think
our
wedding
could
have
been
a
picnic
with
solo
cups,
and,
if
we
had
them
playing,
people
would
still
say
our
wedding
was
one
of
their
favorite
of
all
time.
I'm
not
being
hyperbolic
-
I
want
everyone
to
know
how
incredible
they
are
because
they
created
the
best
memory
I'll
ever
have
by
being
so
tuned
into
what
we
wanted
and
bringing
the
energy
and
musicianship
to
make
it
happen.
We
were
so
lucky
to
have
them,
and
I
promise
with
all
of
my
heart
that
if
you
hire
them,
you
will
be
so
happy
that
you
did.
To
the
Phunky
Monkeys,
we
love
you
and
can't
wait
to
get
back
down
to
New
Orleans
and
see
you
play.
You
are
truly
the
best
band
I
could
ever
imagine,
and
the
world
is
more
magical
with
you
in
it.
