Feedback

  • Carlos, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! The band was spectacular! Everyone had a fantastic time--people are still calling to tell us how wonderful the music was; I'm sure we will continue to get compliments on the band for some time. You did an excellent job of reading the crowd and playing a wide variety of music throughout the night. Please relay our very big thanks to all the other members. All the Best! -- Los J, San Jose, CA, 8/9/2009
