A gem!
We hired Gerald and The Plus Ones for our ceremony and reception music at Wave Hill in the Bronx, and they were fantastic! Gerald was communicative, warm, flexible, and quick to learn and beautifully perform our requested songs. (a friend came flying over on the dance floor at one point shouting "they're singing Waxahatchee???!!!") Gerald also jumped in day of for some gentle emceeing to introduce our nervous toast making family members, and just generally put everyone at ease and set a great tone for the evening. Highly recommend, and thank you, Gerald!
Gerald Edwards for solo singing guitarist
We hired Gerald as a single singing guitarist for our small (30 person) wedding in Brooklyn after finding him online. He completely over-delivered in terms of expectations. Gerald is punctual, kind, thoughtful, and very prepared. He offered to learn 5 new songs for our package and delivered on all of them flawlessly. He played acoustic guitar for the ceremony and sang/played guitar for cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception after dinner. Everyone at the wedding was incredibly impressed by his talent and he had several nice conversations with the guests in between songs. Gerald elevated our special night in many ways and we were so pleased to have him with us. We 1000% recommend Gerald for whatever your musical needs may be.
The BEST plus ones
The Plus Ones NYC were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Gerald’s communication was friendly, responsive, and professional. He is clearly passionate about his craft and dedicated to making our day special. The trio was incredibly talented and experienced, with Gerald leading the ceremony music and the trio keeping our reception going all night. Everyone was complimenting their performance - they truly completed the vibe we were going for and had an amazing song list that they were even willing to expand on for us. We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our wedding day feel like a movie. Highly recommend The Plus Ones NYC!
Response from vendor•Mar 11, 2025Hi Kari, congrats again to you and Jason! It made my day reading this! It was an honor to be a part of such a beautiful wedding celebration.Absolutely incredible!
We hired Gerald and his 5-piece band ("The Plus Ones") for our wedding last September and CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! From the very beginning, Gerald was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, listening to our requests and going above and beyond to create a personalized setlist that perfectly represented our taste. Gerald’s ability to fill in the blanks and suggest songs that complemented our selections was truly impressive. The band’s seamless integration of our requests created a truly memorable experience for our wedding, one that represented “us” perfectly. Gerald’s solo guitar performances during cocktail hour and the ceremony added a light and beautiful touch to the day’s events. The entire band as a whole was professional and true masters of their craft. The female lead singer has an INCREDIBLE voice and stage presence that kept our guests entertained throughout the night. We received countless compliments on the band, with many people mentioning how much fun they had dancing and singing along. The Plus Ones, with Gerald at the helm, truly made our wedding a night to remember, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic band for their special event.
Response from vendor•Oct 4, 2024Hi Jess! Happy anniversary to you and Brent!! Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding was definitely one of the highlights of our 2023 season!
