Testimonials
Katie and Josh Cota – John and his team were so amazing to work with!
Our wedding reception flowed so seamlessly.
The team didn’t hesitate to get everyone at the reception up on the dance floor!
Needless to say, everyone is still talking about our wedding! We are so glad we went with John and his team, we couldn’t have chosen a better team for our Special Day!
Love, Josh & Caitie Cota
Brittney & Scott McFaddenI have know John and his family since I was a little girl. Music has always been a huge part of their life. When I got engaged back in November last year, Cathie (John’s wife) reminded me that John had G3 Band and would love to play our wedding. Music is such huge part of a wedding, it really sets the mood for your guests. And let me tell you John and the rest of G3 did a fantastic job! From day one John paid attention to every little detail of the wedding, and he did his absolute best to make everything go off without a hitch! Their music selection for cocktail hour and band sets were perfect for the mix of ages we had attending our wedding. I highly recommend a live band for any wedding! G3 preferably! John’s MC’ing had our guests laughing the night away and engaged in all aspects of our wedding. The band sounded great! We had guests commenting to us days after the wedding saying how wonderful the music and band were! It truly was a magical night, and John and the rest of G3 played a huge part it that! Thank you G3 Band for making our special day so beautiful! Brittney & Scott McFadden
PS those “extra special” DW drums you played all night filled my heart with joy! Thank you for keeping Bryan’s spirit alive for me all night! It truly was perfect!
Jeanette & Scott Yankie John Pinto will go above and beyond anyone you will ever come across in the DJ world. He has such a great passion for what he does! He is always willing to listen to your needs and wants, he is extremely organized, and he gave us the flow we were looking for. Therefore, creating a wonderful, magical night for my husband Scott and I. Again, I just want to give you an extra Thanks for everything you’ve done for us and for giving us the memories we will cherish forever. Jeanette & Scott Yankie
Katie & Sage Swain John did an amazing job at our wedding. He was so helpful in arranging the timeline for ceremony and reception and during the event kept everything running smoothly. He was even willing to make the trek to Santa Barbara! It wasn’t just John who was great though, my hat goes off to the entire G3 band. From the processional music, to the reception, the band was phenomenal. They only took one break and kept that dance floor packed the whole night. I could not be happier with how everything turned out and would like to thank John and the G3 band for making my wedding such a memorable night. THANK YOU!! Katie & Sage Swain
Gary & Toni KaestleEveryone knows that planning a wedding is stressful to say the least, however, if you need to find an amazing DJ and an Officiant, look no further. John is amazing and takes an immense amount of stress off of you. He’s absolutely thorough throughout the entire process. He officiated my wedding in August. We had moved up to the Bay area and all of our family and friends were still down in LA. Through emails, text messages and a physical meeting, we nailed down the ultimate playlist with the help of David “Tewks” Tewksbury and had a complete time line for how the wedding should take place, which went off without a hitch. Everyone at the wedding stated how much they enjoyed the music and how wonderful John and David were. Of course, to us, they are like family and we knew everyone would enjoy them. I cannot express my gratitude enough, thank you John and David for all your help. Thank you making that special day for me, that much more special. We love you guys!!
Shelley ValenciaThe G3 Band and John Pinto are the most wonderful band ever! They get everyone up dancing, they LOVE their audience and play from the oldies to all new stuff! I have had them play at private parties for us and would highly recommend them for your next event. They make it personal and make the whole night!!!!!
Jenn & Shane Weaver Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! We were completely satisfied with everything you, Ashley and David did for us at our wedding. The music sounded great and Ashley was a big help with leading the Cha-Cha slide and the cupid shuffle. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family. Thank you again! See you at the wine bars! Jenn & Shane Weaver
Veronica & Mike Muniz John, thank you so much for making our day so special. We are so blessed to have you in our lives! God has spread His magic around us with your help!! Thank you! Thank you! Veronica & Mike Muniz
Tyler & Katie Whitman Thank you again for making our wedding a day we’ll never forget. We could not have asked for a better DJ. Your kindness and professionalism will always be remembered. We were also told that you and your team helped set up some of the table decorations and for that, we are extremely grateful. You truly went above and beyond. Thank you so much for being awesome! Tyler & Katie Whitman
Steve and Sandy Lenenberg The wedding of our daughter was such a wonderful event. We were surrounded by the love of family and so many special people in our lives. One in particular, our good friend John Pinto. His entertainment expertise and professionalism insured a successful and exciting reception celebration. John along with his staff, took care of our entire entertainment needs. Our guests danced all night and everyone was up for the “Tarantella Italian Dance” that John so precisely directed. We never once doubted John’s ability to entertain our guest. He truly gave his heart and soul to our special day. We highly recommend John Pinto for your next event! Steve & Sandy Lenenberg
Cassidy Butow – “Event Coordinator” College of the Canyons – Thank YOU x a MILLION! There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to the G3 Band. Thank you for being so reliable, professional, and just absolutely AMAZING! As always, you entertained like no other! I am so appreciative for your patience as I navigated hosting my first large COC event, and what a hit it was!
I have received so many compliments on the event, people had so much FUN!!! They loved the band so much! I heard things like “that is the best vocalist I have ever heard,” “this band is REALLY great!”, “who is this band, I need their information!.” People absolutely loved the music! And of course, I loved the music too and had so much fun dancing, and really enjoyed watching everyone enjoy the music.
Melissa & Zack Wims John really came through for us on our big day. I have never seen a more energetic and pumped up audience than that night and its thanks to John and the music he delivered. He was a great MC and really cared about making sure everything was perfect. I am someone who didn’t really want a whole lot of MCing and even I was impressed. He managed to be on the mic exactly the perfect amount of time. My favorite thing was the fact he let me choose the music that was played during the happy hour and dinner portions of the evening. I hand selected the songs and he had no problem playing them. During the time the dance floor was open, John kept the party going. The 24 by 24 foot dance floor was packed for nearly 3 hours! The music never stopped! He played classic hits, group follow along, and even had a special slow dance song designed to get my grandparents up and dancing (They had been married the longest at the whole wedding). John was easy to communicate with and really brought down the house. I would recommend him to anybody who wants their guests dancing all night! Thank you so much John. We had a great time and I will never forget that night!

Jordan and Brian SaltsThere is not enough praise in the wedding world that could justify the excellence of the work that John and his band do. From the first phone call with John, all the way to a week after the wedding, John made sure that our day was absolutely perfect. John made sure that every detail was accounted for in the weeks before the wedding. When I woke up the morning of our wedding, I felt that everything was taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. As for the day of the wedding, the entire day was flawless. Thanks to John, everything was right on time and everyone was in their place and knew exactly what to do.
If all of this made John sound good, wait until you hear about the band!! G3 far exceeded amazing. Karen, their lead vocalist, impressed all of our guest with her ability to sing any song perfectly. The entire band knew exactly how to catch a crowd and definitely did a fantastic job entertaining our family and friends.
I would 100% recommend John and G3 over and over again to anyone and everyone. You will not regret your decision to hire them for any event. I can guarantee that they will far exceed your expectations. Thanks John! Jordan & Brian Salts
Greg & Erin Mueth John and The G3 Band provided a lovely and fun evening of entertainment for our wedding. We booked The G3 Band because we had been to a previous event they played that had been a great evening of music and dancing for all generations! The G3 Band was extremely versatile and learned several songs that we requested and performed them fabulously! We have gotten so many compliments on the band from guests at our wedding. We also had the band play for our wedding ceremony. They were able to adapt to a softer, yet still upbeat style seamlessly. The entire band was professional, classy and fun! They were the perfect selection for our big day! John was great throughout the planning process. He was extremely organized and stayed on top of deadlines and requests we had made. John was great about listening to our ideas and bringing them to life. With all the services that John is able to provide he was able to emcee for our event and provide background music throughout the night when the band wasn’t playing. He created IPOD play lists for our cocktail and dinner hours incorporating songs we had requested and adapting the play lists to our taste and typical fan favorites. We didn’t have to worry about any of the music or entertainment for the entire evening. Many thanks to John and the entire band for a job well done!!! Erin & Greg Mueth
Jena & Steven Liebig Everything was perfect and it was so special to have someone we know handle our most important day! Everyone had a great time, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Thank you so much again! Jena and Steven Liebig
Ryan & Tiffany Hodges We wanted a live band at our wedding and the G3 Band had played at my sister’s wedding. The G3 Band did such a wonderful job at my sister’s wedding, I knew that they would be a great fit for our wedding. The G3 Band performed live music for our ceremony and took care of the reception. They are professional, kind and will do an outstanding job. Everyone at the wedding loved the band and loved the song selection. Thank You for making our wedding memorable.
Ryan & Tiffany Hodges

What an honor it was to have such an amazing man officiate our wedding for us.
John Pinto has the most wonderful way about him and truly made our day so very special. We were able to personalize our ceremony and put in all the special touches that were the most important to us. He is easy going and was passionate about helping us throughout! He was thoughtful, professional, patient and fun, making sure our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be! Set up a meeting with him and you will see within minutes why we highly recommend him!
Sincerely,
♥️ Deana and Tony ♥️
Cassidy & Brian Butow – From the minute I got engaged, I knew I would have the G3 Band at my wedding! From the start of planning, John was amazing to work with and helped provide much needed organization and structure. John was so helpful in making sure we had a timeline and all of the important pieces like what announcements needed to be made, when to transition activities, who would be speaking, and what songs were played when. I would have been lost without him! John was able to assist with the audio and cues for the ceremony and reception, as well as providing top-notch entertainment!
The G3 Band is the best, they provide high-quality entertainment, with music everyone loves! Every time G3 Band is at an event, people are having fun and dancing, and it was the same at my wedding. They are absolute pros! My guests and I had an absolute blast dancing to the G3 Band. I made such wonderful wedding memories out on the dance floor!
Thank you G3, for bringing so much fun and happiness plus being professional and always reliable.
