Review by Tessa Z.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on July 14, 2010From Saugatuck, MI

We hired Hark up for our Wedding music on the beach and for our jazz band at the reception. WE LOVED THEM! The acoustic guitar for the beach ceremony was beautiful. Great job! For the reception, we wanted jazz music as more of a background sound so people could mingle and socialize without trying to talk or hear over the music. It turns out, during the evening some wanted to dance, so Hark Up adjusted, played up tempo, turned up the sound a little, and we danced the night away. The bands ability to adjust to the mood of our guests was fantastic! We would hire them again, and we would recommend them to anyone who asked us!
