Bud's Collective Reviews

Bud’s Collective was the perfect match for our family reunion. Great group to work with and everyone had a great time! I’d hire them again ina heartbeat.

Bud's Collective are a group of seasoned, professional, and talented blue-grass musicians. I was able to give them some special requests for my wedding ceremony, which they played wonderfully - with their own style. Once they arrived at the venue I thanked them for coming, made sure they had everything they needed, and they were a well-oiled machine from then on. For any one looking for some down-home, acoustic music for their wedding ceremony (or anything else) I would highly recommend Bud's Collective. Don't believe me? Check out their soundcloud page or a handful of videos on youtube. Just a quick FYI - they respond better to text/phone calls than email.

Snowstorm Jonas forced us to push back our Bluegrass and BBQ event one week. Fortunately, the venue, caterer and the band were all available. Bud's Collective from the get-go was easy to work, accommodating and professional. And they are a very talented group of musicians. Every time I reached out to Buddy, he quickly put to rest any concerns that I had - i.e. stage, sound, interview, etc. No special treatment on their end was required. They are very nice folks and we had lots of compliments from our crowd of approximately 190 about their music and friendliness.

I hired this band for our wedding because we both love bluegrass, and wanted a band that had bluegrass flavor but would appeal to many people. This group of talented musicians did not disappoint. They were punctual, generous with their time, entertaining, and professional. My family, many of who don't listen to bluegrass, were blown away by this band and I got SO MANY compliments and questions about them. So happy that I went with Bud's Collective and we are already planning on going to see a gig of theirs so we can enjoy their music without all the chaos of a wedding.

Bud's Collective was great to work with - easy communications leading up to the event, very friendly and professional. They provided a unique, authentic bluegrass flavor for our wedding cocktail hour, and agreed to arrange some fun renditions of traditional songs (Canon in D) and classics (Here Comes the Sun and Signed, Sealed, Delivered) during our ceremony. In the blur that was our wedding day we can unfortunately only claim to have caught brief snippets of the picking, but what we heard was really special stuff, and our guests continue to rave about the performance. Bud's Collective was a clear highlight at our event. We would definitely hire them again.

I had a great experience with Bud's Collective both preparing for the event and day of. They're terrific musicians and complete professionals, perfect both for our reception and dance music. Highly recommended!

If there was a way to rate higher than 5 stars across the board, I would certainly do so. Bud's Collective was so professional and easy to deal with from the very beginning. The level of talent in this band is amazing, and they can appeal to young and old alike. I can't recommend these guys highly enough!

I was wowed by Bud's Collective's sound clips and videos online, then charmed by their emails as we planned for the event. They were very accommodating (requests, etc.) and so polite and friendly! Having never heard them beforehand, I was encouraged by the clips but totally blown away by the performance. It was a total blast -- fun, energetic, FLAWLESS bluegrass and absolutely beautifully put together. I am looking for excuses to throw another party just so that they can play for us again! I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with Bud's. True and talented musicians, through and through.

The Band was great to work with and put on a great show. Many of our guests comented on how much they enjoyed the band. I would hire them again for my next party.
