reviews
We couldn't have been happier with a wedding band, and Nez was so easy to work with throughout the whole process. So many people raved about them -- and they were definitely a highlight of the wedding. We had the ten-piece band and everything was perfect. Even though the barn we were in was warm, EVERYONE was on the dance floor from the beginning of the night to the end, largely because of the band. We are so grateful! They even accommodated a last-minute change and we had a second line exit, which was amazing! Brendan, G., Stevensville, MD
Nez, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. My wife and I’ve never seen a dance floor more packed in our lives. When a band can pull every guest from age 3 to age 97 onto the dance floor and keep them there all night, you know you’ve hired professionals. Katy, S., Washington, DC
Band and band members were highly professional as well as competent musicians. Multiple guests raved about the "great band", "wonderful music", and "tremendous voices". We were also delighted that you dressed to match the event's theme and colors. We appreciated your early arrival and supportive nature. Taking request was also a plus. Thanks for a job super done! Would highly recommend you to others. Call any time you need a reference. Randy, Chevy Chase, MD
Everyone keeps talking about how much they loved our band. They are so talented and were able to keep our guests on the dance floor all night! The band's leader Nez is very personable and responsive. He went over to check out my venue before we hired them to make sure they could fit in the small ballroom of our venue. He also responded to my countless emails and calls with questions that popped up throughout the planning process. Hire this band! You won't regret it! Julie, Fairfax Station, VA
