Reviews
They got every detail exactly as I wanted-include a music mix for my Father/Daughter dance.
As a former wedding coordinator, I was very particular that I wanted our music to be the “key feature” of the event- after all, that’s what people remember the most!
Wedding day came and they killed it- they performed our first dance which was a country song- a bit out of their element but you’d never know it! (Dan & Shay, From the Ground Up).
The kept the crowd on the floor the ENTIRE night- including my 85 year old aunt!! At the end of the night, my guests were literally yelling “encore, encore”. When else do you see that at a WEDDING?!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. I can’t think of anyone else that even compares to the level of entertainment they provide.
I can 200% guarantee that if you book them you will love them just as much as I did- well a close second anyways.

I knew bands would book up fast, so I booked them on a whim.
There were other people looking at my date so I had to act fast, but I experienced slight fear afterwards that maybe I should have looked around.
My wedding was this past weekend and I can be rest assured that there is NO better band. I am the first to admit when I am flawed, and I will say I was a pretty annoying bride when it came to the music.
I was very nit picky and gave them a ridiculous amount of requests. They treated me like a Queen. Throughout the wedding planning process they were awesome to work with. Sean and Art responded to every e-mail and call extremely promptly and listened to everything I had to say.
When it was time for the main event, the band absolutely CRUSHED it. They were so fun, energetic, kind, and insanely talented. I literally had to drag people off of the dance floor. My guests will not stop talking about how awesome the band was.
They played all the right songs and really took my requests into consideration to create the perfect setlist for the type of wedding I wanted. The MC was so organized and kept everything flowing smoothly. Timing is huge at a wedding and it was an absolute flawless execution.
I could go on for hours. Morale of the story is, they rock. If you haven’t booked them already, what are you waiting for??

We hired them for our wedding.
Fabulous music, great energy. The band obviously just loves to play and it comes through in their performance.
They also handled the recorded music for our ceremony and played the piano and saxophone during cocktail hour.
They had a flat rate for the whole night and were totally flexible with us when we had last minute changes, which we really appreciated!
Art and Sean are so easy to work with and respond very quickly and provide a detailed questionnaire and rundown ahead of time.
The saxophonist also did some amazing improv that had everyone clapping during the reception. It’s like getting a show!
We highly recommend them!

Private Event
We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.

Wedding Reception
Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.

Festival
Great, super easy, and the video/songs in artist’s log were super helpful!

Pub – Bar
We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.
