• Mother Mayhem is amazing! They performed at our wedding and all throughout the night we heard "This is the best band" "Where did you find them, they are great" "This band is awesome". One of the employees at our venue said "out of all the bands we have had here, this is the best one!" They really completed the package of having a perfect wedding. Not only are they extremely talented but they are fun, personable and helpful. Chris was great at organizing our event and keeping in contact with us. Thanks Mother Mayhem! -- Holly H, Guerneville, CA, 10/16/2009
