Feedback

  • AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! THIS WAS A SURPRISE PARTY FOR MY WIFE'S 50TH BIRTHDAY AND SHE WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED! THE BAND WAS GREAT! THEY KEPT US ENERGIZED AND THOSE WHO CAME TO THE PARTY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT WHAT A GREAT TIME THEY HAD! -- Ronnie L, Fernandina Beach, FL, 3/6/2009
  • Last to Leave is a very fitting name for this group as our participants were literally begging them to stay. For more than two hours, they kept the dance floor packed with a brilliant mix of contemporary hits and the classics that everyone wants to hear. From the very first song to the last, they maintained a high level of energy, with a full, tight sound that defies their size. Last to Leave performs as advertised, with spot-on reproductions of all the great dance songs. The group concensus was they are the best band we've ever had, and we would not hesitate to bring them back for an encore performance. Hire this band! -- Eric L, Sarasota, FL, 4/8/2008
  • We could not be more pleased with The Last To Leave Band. Our wedding reception was varied in ages and the band had everyone dancing all night long. I am the bride,and the groom and I were The Last to Leave our own reception. The music was FANTASTIC and perfect for a wedding reception. We met with the band's coordinator in advance and made our own music play list and they even learned new songs just for us! Thank you for making my wedding reception perfect! Kathryn L. Gray Publisher & Editor, Luxury Living Magazine -- Kathryn G, Ponte Vedra, FL, 4/5/2008
  • I am absolutely impressed and satisfied with my experience with this band. Their talent and versatility is quite amazing. The musicians and vocalists are amazing and I would recommend them for any type of event where you want to get people moving and encourage a good time. I will definitely use them again if I have the opportunity (anniversary party, 40th birthday, etc). All of my guests are calling me raving about the band! I also had a good pre-wedding experience in getting everything organized which was important to me. -- Steffanie O, Jacksonville, FL, 3/30/2008
