Gerald & The Plus Ones were incredible!
I found Gerald and The Plus Ones here on Zola, and from the first time I saw a video of Gerald playing the acoustic guitar, I knew I wanted him to play at my wedding. He has the most amazing voice and acoustic song selection, which perfectly matched the vibe we were looking for during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Communication with Gerald was incredibly reassuring, he was always quick to reply, offered great ideas, embraced our vision, and was genuinely excited to play at our wedding. Luckily, he also has an incredible band playing with him, which made our reception complete! Their song list had exactly the 70s and '80s/funky vibe with a touch of '90s millennial classics that we wanted for our party. They kept absolutely everyone dancing - from my 5yo nephew, to my mother-in-law and her friends, to our friends. Plus, they will learn any five specific songs you want for your day. As a Brazilian, it was really important to me to bring some Brazilian music elements into my wedding day. Gerald learned a Bossa Nova song for when we walked down the aisle and included several other tracks during dinner. On top of that, because my husband is Jewish, we absolutely had to have the Hora. The Plus Ones delivered it with mastery! It was so fun and exciting, and everyone had an incredible time, it was definitely a highlight of our day. Thank you, Gerald and The Plus Ones, for making our day even more special! We are so happy we booked you guys.

They Made Our Wedding Unforgettable!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing — there are truly no words to capture how talented, professional, and genuine The Plus One’s Band are. We had the trio of Gerald, Jan, and Katie, and each of them was outstanding. From the very beginning, communication was seamless and professional, and on the wedding day they were not only exceptional musicians but also wonderful people who fit right in with our celebration. They brought incredible energy and artistry, performing our song list beautifully while also going above and beyond by accommodating guest requests on the spot. The songs they learned specifically for us were performed so perfectly, many of our guests said they sounded even better than the originals. At one point, they even had the entire venue singing along — an unforgettable moment that we’ll cherish forever. Their talent, professionalism, and warmth created such a joyful atmosphere, and we feel so grateful to have had them be a part of our day. We recommend The Plus One’s Band without hesitation to anyone seeking extraordinary musicians who will make their event truly unforgettable.

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!
