reviews
My wife and I cannot thank you enough for the show you put on. You guys were absolutely incredible. My only regret is that the party wasn't a few hours longer! I've had several guests say how amazing the band was and that this was BY FAR, the best dance party band they've ever seen at a wedding. You all are true professionals and really know how to throw a party. We are actually on our way to the honeymoon, but when we get back is there anywhere, we could write a review? Corinne and I can't recommend you guys enough and we would really like to do everything we can to make sure you guys are at every wedding that we ever have a chance of attending. Corinne, Vienna, VA
The band was great in every way. I like MoTown Music and they played the music just like the original versions. They are so good that many of the guests asked for their cards for their events. The band is very professional, and talented. They made my event spectacular! They also add in other more current songs, so they appeal to every generation. These are such talented people that you will get blown away by their performance. They are also on time, and very limited breaks. My parting thought was after they played the entire evening, I wish they would of played more just because of how good they were. Gerri S., Washington, DC
They were so accommodating and easy to work with leading up to the wedding and so fantastic on the wedding day. They kept the crowd dancing and entertained all night; I think we got more compliments on the band than anything else. They worked with us on all of our last-minute changes to help keep our stress levels down. We could not have picked a better band. Their live performances are amazing! Such a great band and great group of people to work with. We cannot recommend them enough. Marc C., Leonardtown, MD
This band is incredible. They performed at our wedding, and were one of the great highlights of the event. They accommodated a last-minute schedule change, did a great job with MC, announcements, and engaging our guests, and most importantly, are a tremendous collection of honestly professional caliber musicians. From the moment they struck their first note to the final chord we had a great time, and they got all the wall flowers out and dancing for hours. Another very positive aspect of the band is that they accomplished all this enthusiasm and excitement while never drowning out conversation or forcing anyone to shout to speak. True consummate professionals. Joel U., Gettysburg, PA
We were all AMAZED by the quality of this band! I would highly recommend. They are beyond accommodating given I confirmed the party the day before. They will not disappoint! Every single person in the party made excellent comments about the music and the performance. No details left behind. They arrived with plenty of time to setup, were very courteous with our guests and absolutely rocked it! We know the crowd and it's not easy to get them dancing. By the end of the night everybody was dancing. They are worth every penny and double that! We will surely be hiring again in the future and so will our guests! Barbara C., Annapolis, MD
