• Dear Mike and Blues Racket Band, Thank you so much for your amazing presence at our wedding! Everyone was phenomenal and I cannot thank you enough. Every one of you has such tremendous talent, energy, and charisma. The floor was packed and everywhere I looked, I saw feet moving and smiling faces. You guys really took our party to a level of fun we had not even imagined. My parents and I have received literally dozens of calls complimenting your style, music, and presence. Tina and Clarissa, you girls were phenomenal. Your song selection, passion, beauty and professionalism are to be commended. My parents asked for your website info because they are now groupies and want to go out with a group of their friends and dance some more! Thanks again for everything you did. You added so much fun and life to our wedding and we will be forever appreciative. Sherianne and Scott Burton -- Sherianne B, Whittier, CA, 7/16/2005
• The Blues Racket Band was very easy to work with. They were outstanding entertainers and displayed a high level of professionalism. We had many comments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the band at our daughter's wedding reception, in addition to playing during the ceremony. There was constant dancing throughout the evening, with lots of high energy songs, providing lots of fun for our guests. We would highly recommend the group. A big thank you to each of you!! The Sebek family -- Ann S, Newport Beach, CA, 8/14/2005
• A very talented group of professionals who know out to light up a party. They performed for our daughter's wedding reception and the guests were very complementary about how much they enjoyed the music. Everyone from age 3 to 88 were dancing up a storm. Ron Mills -- Ronald M, La Mirada, CA, 12/30/2005

• The band was fantastic! We'll definitely book them if we have this event again next year. Awesome show! -- Sandra S, Newport Beach, CA, 10/24/2005
• Our dream wedding came true in part because we had amazing music for the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception thanks to the Blues Racket Band. They were so accommodating to our requests, especially learning a new song for our first dance. Not only did they learn the new song but Kim sang her butt off & our crowd went crazy for her vocal showcase. Our dance floor was packed all night long; guests of all ages were coming up to us during the reception & telling us what a great band we choose. They had excellent song choices & knew when to kick it up to get the party going. True professionals. I'd recommend this band for any event and will hire them again. -- Kristina L, Fullerton, CA, 10/8/2011
• This was an amazing band to have for our ever. Songs were great and versatile for all ages. We had a ceremony at the end of our event and the lead singer was great in making it extremely special for all participants. I know that a lot of our guests had a great time because of their performance. Thank you guys so much for everything!! Hope to see you next year! :) -- Parker P, San Bernardino, CA, 5/4/2012
