Feedback
- Liquid Blue has definitely set the standard for live performances! The whole band was at the reception on time and ready to go. Very professional throughout. Would MOST DEFINITELY recommend to anyone looking for Top-Notch entertainment for there next event or special occasion! -- Mike A, San Diego, CA, 10/11/2008
- Liquid Blue's show was fantastic. Initally, when I booked the group for my corporate event, I was concerned that our space and the audience would be too small given the size of some of the international venues their site shows them at. I found working with the band from start to finish to be very accomodating and they treated our team and our guests to a stadium-sized evening. They were professional, prompt, very easy to work with and best of all - they delivered a world class, high energy show and rocked the house!
Many thanks to the entire group - my guests will be talking about your show for the next year! I would most definitely book the group again. -- Vicki B, San Diego, CA, 10/7/2008
- 5 stars in just not enough for Liquid Blue. This group deserves a sixth. Not only were they the hit of our corporate event but working with them before, during and after has been a pleasure! Scott was wonderful during the negotiations, Michael was concerned about what our group needed from the music and the entire band was well………WOW.
This group kept both the young and old up dancing for hours. I would use them again in a heartbeat!
-- Richard R, Palm Desert, CA, 10/4/2008

- I was impressed by Liqid Blue on all levels - not only was the music great; they were also the epitomy of professionalism. I would love to experience Liquid again. -- Cecilia P, Los Angeles, CA, 11/17/2007
- Liquid Blue was by far the best entertainment we've had at any of our events, and this was our 107th annual convention. Our big party night is usually attended by 180-200 and fizzles out by 10:30, Liquid Blue drew a crowd of 350 and was still rocking the place after midnight. The members of the band were talented, outgoing, really nice people. Can't wait to get them back for our next event. We highly recommend this band for any function that you want to be high energized and a huge success!!! -- Debbie B, Providence, RI, 10/12/2007
- This group was unbelievable. Best band we have ever had by far at a corporate event. -- Scott D, Palm Springs, CA, 9/12/2007
- An outstanding group of musicians. The entire expereince from beginning to end in working with Liquid Blue has been such a pleasure. The actual performance far exceeded my expectations. The party was a big hit thanks to Liquid Blue. I would hire them again in a second!! -- Dawn N, San Diego, CA, 7/6/2007
- This function at the Ritz Carlton was the biggest event of the year for Estee Lauder so we wanted the very best entertainment. Liquid Blue MADE THE EVENT for us! During the show the company president approached me and stated "You hired the right band". The dance floor was packed all evening! We had requested that the band dress more conservatively than what we viewed on their DVD and they came through with outfits that were just right for this event. Another big plus was their large song selection which included something for everyone. They even allowed us to select the songs to perform! All in all we had a GREAT experience with Liquid Blue and I've already referred them to one of our sister companies. -- Molly L, Dana Point, CA, 3/27/2007
- Super job! The group lived up to all the hype. We had so many positive comments! Thank you, Liquid Blue. -- Sam S, Sacramento, CA, 1/2/2007
- The best group we've had all year. The BlueGirls sang in perfect three-part harmony and their appearance as well as attitude was extremely professional. We would welcome them back anytime they are in San Jose. -- Carl D, San Jose, CA, 12/28/2006
- Great to work with. High energy performance that kept the dance floor full all night. Liquid Blue was the capstone to a perfect evening for my Marines! Most highly recommended. -- Charles J, San Diego, CA, 11/3/2006
- They were great. Liquid Blue really got the party going and made for a very fun night! It made for a great fundraiser.
-- Margot S, Orange, CA, 9/29/2006
- An amazing show! The dance floor was packed from the very first number until the finale. They kept the crowd involved & excited and the wide variety of material was staggering. The band moved seemlessly through disco, rock, hip-hop, R&B, motown and even some country! Some memorable medley's as well! The height of professionalism. We plan to hire Liquid Blue for many future events. -- Karen T, Malibu, CA, 8/20/2006
- ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! There are no words to express the professionalism, personalization and entertainment that Liquid Blue delivers. They are overall GREAT people that care about the business and the people that they are entertaining. I would strongly recommend Liquid Blues entertainment to EVERYONE at ANYTIME. They are down to earth people and I was very impressed by the caring they had for our little community. We are a community of 16,000 people and they treated and entertained us like we were part of their family. As I said before, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! -- Michael M, Douglas, AZ, 7/3/2005
- Liquid Blue was absolutely fabulous. Even before we entered the ballroom, people were approaching us telling us how great the band was. They kept the dancefloor packed the entire night. From the beginning they were easy to work with and the incorporated everything we wanted. I highly recommend them and would be happy to be a reference. -- Brooke R, Coronado, CA, 5/24/2009
- Everyone loved the band! They were all very friendly and spent more of the evening playing requests from the audience. Everything from classic rock to hip-hop! We’re absolutely going to have them back. -- Cesar V, La Jolla, CA, 7/16/2009
- They were extremely professional, and made sure everything would run smoothly by being in daily communication the week before. Their performance was exceptional, ...the singing, dance routines, and lights all were top-notch...everyone is sore today (Monday) from dancing so much. I have received so many compliments about Liquid Blue from all those lucky enough to attend. Just an incredible experience! -- Alex S, Poway, CA, 8/8/2009
- Liquid Blue made our wedding festivities truly memorable. There were so many songs to choose from that we couldn't decide. So we chose to let Liquid Blue play to the crowd with a few requests from time to time. Our entire guest list was on the dance floor by the end and nobody was ready to stop when we had to. The diversity of genres this band can play is very impressive. From hip hop to country and everything in between they were spot on. I would highly recommend Liquid Blue for any type of event. They are solid professionals with a lot of talent. Thank you for everything. We had way too much fun!
Sincerely,
Andrew and Kristen -- Andrew F, Vail, CO, 7/18/2009
- They are a great group with an amazing look and sound! They were also very friendly and easy to deal with. We were very impressed with them and would love to hire them in the future! -- Dan F, Pomona, CA, 2/20/2010
- Liquid Blue was Awesome! Our 100+ guest at the Grand Del Mar loved their performance.. in fact I am still receiving phone calls from guests letting me know how much they loved the band. Liquid Blue was professional, easy to work with, fun and amazing talent! We will be using them again. Thank You. -- Edith W, San Diego, CA, 2/19/2010
- Everyone at our event raved about Liquid Blue and want to have them back next year! -- Jennifer C, Kansas City, MO, 2/13/2010
- Liquid Blue (LB) was amazing!! They made our event something more than any of us imagined. LB is such a versatile group and made my brother's eclectic taste of music into a great set list. As one guest said, "You couldn't tell if you were listening to the original band or Liquid Blue. They are that good!" They kept the energy & enthusiasm up all night. Everyone in the band was wonderful to us. It seemed like their goal was to make sure we all enjoyed the event and to get everyone out on the dance floor. Our guests had a great time dancing and jamming to their music. Thank you Liquid Blue for making this an incredible event! You all were amazing!!! -- Asha R, Encinitas, CA, 1/30/2010
- We were so pleased with this group! We had a party for our clients and the music really set the tone for a fun time! The song choices fit the range of ages and musical tastes and the quality of Nikkis voice is unmatched. These guys are true artisits and I loved how many people asked me where I found them! Great job and hope to see you all very soon!!!! thanks -- rana k, Carlsbad, CA, 1/26/2012
- Awesome job!! -- Nikki G, San Diego, CA, 1/20/2012
- I was very pleased with the quality of music and the professionalism of Liquid Blue. There were able to hit all categories of music to get the right vibe in our location. We had several of our customers call back the next day and talk about how great of a night it was for all of them and how much they enjoyed there music. If anybody has any questions or referrals please email me @ Boulos720@aol.com so I can give more detail on this group.
