WeddingReviewed on October 21, 2019From Woodbridge, VA

Where do I begin? Chuggalug exceeded all of our expectations and we received so many compliments! PJ and Charlie were beyond accommodating with every request we threw at them, even some that were outside of their comfort zones! Anyone that hires this team will not regret it. There's nothing they cannot do! From ceremony violin and acoustics, officiating, and learning songs for us, to DJing, and rocking out as a live band later in the night! Their price for everything they did for us was extremely fair and we were lucky to have them. Thank you guys again so much for everything you did to make our day perfect and so very much 'us' ???

Chuggalug:

It was truly our pleasure to be a part of one of my absolute favorite weddings. While all of the aspects to your special day were wonderful, you two are the epitome of the perfect newlyweds. May you and your families always have health, happiness, and each other. We can't thank you enough for letting us join in your celebration!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on January 2, 2019From Haymarket, VA

We wanted a band instead of a DJ for our daughters wedding reception at the Regency at Dominion Valley, Haymarket, VA, in December. Chuggalug was found through Gigmasters. After an interview with PJ, we were impressed with her professionalism and hired them immediately. The rate was fair and communications was seamless. Chuggalug worked with my daughter and son-in-law to choose a playlist and learn new songs. They played violin and acoustic guitar for the wedding ceremony itself (beautiful), then emceed the reception and played cover music. THIS BAND IS VERY GOOD! All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music throughout the evening. FIVE STARS!

Chuggalug:

Thank you so much for your kind words, and the opportunity to be a part of your daughter and son-in-law's wedding! It was a beautiful affair. We in Chuggalug immensely enjoyed ourselves, and we're so appreciative to get to work with fun and thoughtful clients like you. Happy new year to you all!

This was the best decision I made in the planing of my wedding. The band was upbeat professional. We had huge expectations and PJ and the band were more than accommodating . Thanks for making our special day.

Chuggalug:

Thank you so much for letting Chuggalug be a part of your special day! We truly had a great time, and appreciate your kindness more than you know.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 21, 2016From McLean, VA

These guys were great!!!! PJ is an extremely talented pianist and vocalist!!!! For my mom's 50th Birthday we were looking for something a little light to be played over dinner and kind of transition into something we could dance to and the band did an AMAZING job. I couldn't have asked for a better performance. Their youtube video's don't do them justice. If you get a chance to hear them live take advantage of it. They are super entertaining and Charlie their lead guitarist did a good job with PJ reading the crowd. My favorite part was Kim on the drums when they played "Hotel California." Kim, PJ, and Charlie all did a PHENOMENAL job! Definitely will book again!!!!

Chuggalug:

It was our pleasure to play for Milton and his family. The event was wonderful, and we were so happy to get to be a part of it. Many thanks for all of the kind words!

Retirement PartyReviewed on April 6, 2015From Curtis Bay, MD

Chuggalug was awesome! We needed a band last minute- they were prompt with getting back to us and provided a great performance. Everyone loved the band. We will definitely be working with them in the future! Great band, great sound! Great presentation!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 8, 2014From Beltsville, MD

Chuggalug was great! Simple as that! I had to plan an office Holiday Party on short notice, and PJ (Vocalist) worked with me to plan things so they went off perfectly. The band was friendly and fun, yet professional, and everyone had an awesome time because of the live music. We started off slow with some holiday instrumentals, but Chuggalug really kicked once the party got going. Our office space isn't the best acoustic venue because it's like a big warehouse, but the band handled it well and it sounded great. I am so happy I found Chuggalug to play for us, and I look forward to calling them the next time we have a big party!

Chuggalug:

Chuggalug is so grateful to have met this corporate client and all of the wonderful guests. It was truly our pleasure to provide live music of varying genres throughout the evening as the event progressed. Thank you for the opportunity!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 3, 2014From Coraopolis, PA

I thought Chuggalug was awesome in every possible way. From the moment I first contacted PJ, she was completely professional and answered every question I had. She responded to my many emails quickly. The day of the wedding, there weren't any issues with setup even though they had to set up three different places for the ceremony and reception. it all worked out well. PJ worked with the photographer and officiant to make sure everyone knew what was happening throughout the day and everything went incredibly smoothly. We had bandeoke and everyone loved it. The band was great and we couldn't have asked for anything better. I was impressed with the whole process.

Chuggalug:

Hi Heather and Dylan! Many thanks for your kind words. Your wedding was beautiful and so much fun. Thank you so much for choosing Chuggalug for your wedding. Charlie and PJ

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 14, 2014From Westminster, MD

We were very happy with the band. They were crowd pleasing and professional. I was very impressed with their quick communication and they were on time to our event. We would definitely use them again. Thank you Chuggalug!

Dinner DanceReviewed on July 7, 2014From Davidsonville, MD

The band interacted well with people during performance as well as while on break. They played an encore that rocked the crowd and then chilled out with us for some fireworks. We hope that next time they utilize the "Option" and to swim in our pool and hang out with us for our bonfires. Really enjoyed them on and off stage and can't wait to have them back again soon as we can!!! This is a band that is a professional and just plain fun for the Party too. They are rare so People should really enjoy their talent and charm. Thanks from MAHESO!

Me and my guests had a wonderful time having chuggalug band playing at my birthday party. They are very professional and accomodated all my requests! We all had a blast dancing to their tunes, infact they were the life of the party that night. I will surely hire them again for another party and will recommend them to others as well!

FundraiserReviewed on November 22, 2013From Frederick, MD

PJ and Charlie are an awesome pair. They played our non-profit's fundraise and EVERYONE loved them. It was a great match as they set our event off well. They are very entertaining and I would suggest that you take the time to see them play, either at your event or at a local night club/bar. I sure will be looking out for their next gig in town. We have made friends for life:)

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 20, 2013From Philadelphia, PA

I hire a band every year for my birthday party in Philly. I hired Chuggalug because I was intrigued by the Bandeoke and felt very comfortable after speaking to PJ, the singer. They had no problem traveling to Philly and I was in direct contact with PJ throughout the process leading up to the party. What an absolute blast!! They were by far the most fun band I had ever hired. I cannot recommend them enough! They were just so talented and engaging and everyone had such a great time. I cannot wait to hire them again for my next party. Seriously, they left everyone with a smile on their face. 5 stars all the way around.

Community EventReviewed on June 18, 2013From Chevy Chase, MD

Chuggalug:

We had a wonderful time doing Chuggalug Bandeoke for this event! It was a beautiful day with a wonderful community of families enjoying the entertainment. It's always a challenge to showcase our personal talents when performing with the general public as lead singer. Plus, we're a full-band trio, meaning that we up front are working twice as hard. Yet we sincerely enjoy being the backup band for people who never knew they were rock stars! It was our pleasure to play this event and we're very grateful to have had the opportunity.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on February 23, 2013From Lynchburg, VA

Our company had an amazing time with Chuggalug as our bandaoke entertainment. Their catalog was well rounded and very large. They certainly have a gift of getting the crowd motivated to sing and participate. This was our first experience with bandaoke and I'm certain Chuggalug has set the bar high for any other groups. Our employees have reported this years annual conference party was the best due to the entertainment. Lastly Chuggalug was early and set up well in advance even though they had to travel over 3 hours to our event. Thank you Chuggalug and PJ for traveling to share your great talent with us and providing excellent entertainment and fun!

Chuggalug:

It was Chuggalug's great pleasure to play for such a fun and friendly corporate party! What a privilege to be included in the festivities. So many thanks for choosing Chuggalug Bandeoke for your party!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 8, 2012From Frederick, MD

Having Chuggalug at our wedding was the best decision we ever made. PJ and the rest of the band were all so nice and friendly and accommodating. They played all the songs my husband and I requested and worked with us to figure out the best decisions for our day. Even though Chuggalug is a rock band, they altered their playing list to match the type of party we wanted. PJ and I were in constant communication and she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. When our wedding coordinator failed to coordinate, PJ stepped in and helped us out in our time of need. She was a key role in the success of our wedding day. We would recommend Chuggalug to anyone!

Chuggalug:

So many thanks for the kind words, and congratulations again Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Nestor! We in Chuggalug have had the pleasure of playing hundreds of weddings, and your reception was truly wonderful and full of family, friends and fun. It was a real treat to work with you both and your families. Best wishes for a long and healthy life together. Thanks so much again for choosing Chuggalug!
