I hired Onager to do a corporate event and there really aren't words to express how absolutely phenomenal they did, they got people who normally aren't dancers out dancing all night. I had seen them several times before at Whiskey Creek so I knew they were great but they really are "next level". If you want to take your event to the next level you won't go wrong hiring Onager.

Everyone loved you guys & you seriously made our night. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts from going above & beyond for us. I am so happy you were able to play for our big day!

Deanna & Zach,
On behalf of all of us It was truly our pleasure to entertain you, your family and friends at the celebration of your marriage. We wish you the best as you start a new pathway as husband and wife.
We hired Onager band for our company Christmas Party and had countless compliments on how great they were. There was not one song that had an empty dance floor. The songs and variety were amazing. We will recommend this group to anyone looking into hiring for music. In my opinion- 10+ stars!

Response from Onager:
Thank you Carrie and please share our thanks to all of your fellow employees. It was a great time for all of us!
We booked Onager 30 days before our wedding after the band we had booked decided to break up. While I was in freak-out bride mode, Onager came to the rescue! Luckily they were available for our date, were extremely professional, and did an excellent job of keeping our reception on track...in addition to keeping the dance floor packed all night!! Everyone loved the band & complimented us repeatedly on our band choice. We couldn't have been more happy to have Onager play our reception, and plan to see them at one of their shows in the near future! Definitely recommend this band, A+ talent!!

Paul Suits and Onager were a pleasure to work with for the 2014 Baldwin Troutarama Beer Tent. They played a great range of hits that kept the beer tent crowd entertained for the whole night. They are an extremely professional group and I would recommend them for any venue.

Onager was the perfect addition to our outdoor wedding this past weekend!! They were extremely professional, easy to work with and went out of their way to provide the vision we wanted for our wedding. Many guests told us how great the band was and wanted to know how we found them. They also allowed me to make a personal dream come true and helped me amaze our guests by letting me sing a song with them. The experience was out of this world and neither us nor or guests will ever forget it. We love Onager!!!!
Wedding Band
Thank you very much for making our wedding, cocktail hour, and wedding reception perfect! Everything was extremely professional and we appreciated the great communication to put our mind at ease. I would highly recommend hiring Onager for any event because live music is an amazing choice!

I always try & attend where ever Onager is performing as this group gets the crowd on their feet and on the dance floor! Adding a female singer a while back added to their depth and increased their song selections. I even own a couple of their band t-shirts! Onager Rocks!!!!
Thank you for another great year at the Bow Hunter's Ball. You kept everyone on the floor and you guys sounded great. I could not have asked for better. You get a thumbs-up every year in my book. Excellent job as always. Hope to see you next year.

Great work. The band sounded great and kept everyone on the dance floor. The amount of people that come to see/hear Onager play keeps increasing every year. Fair price and the band is willing to do the gig every year. Excellent work. Awesome fun.

I booked Onager to play outdoors for a charity golf outing event in July 2011 at the Manistee National Golf and Resort in Manistee MI. The outing involved several high profile business vendors to come support local charities in and around the Manistee County area. Onager was right on target with their sound, professionalism and delivery. This is a hard venue because it was in fact a golf course but they helped create a fun and exciting atmosphere playing while guests golfed and never one complaint on the volume or the song set choices. This band is very friendly to work with and highly professional and I attribute a lot of the event success to their overall presentation and performance.

Dude, these guys blew me away. They sounded just like their studio recordings live! I anticipate putting in my nightclubs rotation for a long time. Guaranteed to get great customer feedback. They work the crowd great with awesome interaction and excellent musical precision.

Both times that I have seen Onager perform, they did an excellent job. They played a great mix of music from several genre's. The sound quality is great. Very professional. I will definately be on the lookout for the next time they play.
ONAGER ROCKS! WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE WE WILL DEFINATELY BE WATCHING THEM AGAIN!
Onager was amazing. We traveled from lower South West Michigan to catch the show...and it was every bit worth it. They had a sound and their lead vocalists rocked. I like how they had the crowd going with their great choice of songs, they kept everyone on the dance floor, including us.We would definitely love to see them play again.
ONAGER WAS GREAT! THEY BRING IN LOTS OF PEOPLE EVERY YEAR FOR THE BOWHUNTERS BALL. THEY PLAY GREAT MUSIC AND THE DANCE FLOOR IS ALWAYS FULL. THANKS ONAGER FOR MAKING THE BOWHUNTERS BALL A SUCCESS YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!

Onager has been a part of our Brethren Days Celebration for the past few years & have always provided a great performance. They keep all the people on the dance floor & having fun!
Onager was our feature entertainment for Saturday night at our annual Maritime Festival this summer and they did a great job! The crowd really liked them... people kept asking "where did the great band come from!?" They played a wide range of music and they sounded awesome! Onager was professional and we will defenitely have them back.

They were awesome!!! Will definitely be going to more shows. It was a great experience!!
The band played classic rock songs that had people out dancing from the 1st song on.would highly reccomend them.
This band was great... I have tried to go see them again but haven't been able to make it to another show of theirs. Classic rock with great energy. Everyone had a good time. If these guys would have released the songs that they covered they would still have been hits. Five star for sure, I just wish they played closer to Grand Rapids.
