Seriously the best wedding band around!! We cannot recommend them enough. Gunpowder Soup interacts with the crowd and keeps the partying going ALL NIGHT LONG! The dancefloor was packed and we had so many guests ask for their info after our wedding. If you’re lucky enough to get them booked, your party is guaranteed to be one that you and your guests will never forget. Jeanine is awesome and her attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed when she plans and executes a perfect night.

We are thrilled we chose to work with Gun Powder Soup! Jeanine was professional and responsive leading up to our wedding day. The biggest compliment we received after our event was how interactive and entertaining our band was! Thank you to GPS for making our reception everything we dreamed of!

Gunpowder Soup is the absolute BEST band for any and all of your special occasions!! They brought the talent, the energy and the FUN to my sister’s wedding in Mission, TX! Jeanie was a true pleasure to work with! They do a great job helping curate the best set list for your occasion and make sure the dance floor is always popping! Members of the band get on the dance floor and interact with the guests, it is just awesome!! I can’t thank Jeanie and the GPS team enough for making my sister’s wedding so memorable!

You will not be disappointed when you book Gunpowder soup to play at your wedding, party or any other event. They were amazing from the start, especially through all of the admin work, picking songs, etc. They are very professional and they sound really awesome! Great Great Band. They played at our wedding on 10/17/20 and We are so glad we were able to have them! Nothing but class! They do it all from DJ Services, Emcee, Ceremony Music and of course the Reception music. We had such a great time at our wedding. Thank you Gunpowder Soup!
