Feedback

  • Z and the Party Faktory were the best!!! They played for our daughter's wedding reception and were so good at involving the audience and had just about everyone in the place up and dancing. They communicated in a timely and professional manner. They handled several special requests and were just plain fun for such a special day! Except for a few songs, we left the playlist up to them, and they knew just what our varied generation guests would like. Thanks, Mr. Z, you and your musicians are a remarkable group. I'd have you again in a minute! -- Pat G, Birmingham, AL, 1/30/2010
  • Z and The Party Faktory accommodated every request and were extremely professional. SUPERTALENTED and sounded GREAT! Their motto is true, "you bring the people and they will most certainly bring the party!!!" I would recommend them to anybody and everybody. My nieces and nephews (ages 4-9), my parents and mother in-law, and all my friends danced all night long. Any age group, any request! My wife and I heard positive things all night about how GREAT our band was! If you want a great band for your event BOOK THEM NOW!!! Because they are worth every penny! Thanks again guys!! -Ben -- Ben W, Tuscaloosa, AL, 1/9/2010
  • Z and the Party Faktory were WONDERFUL!!!! They are great performoers and really got the whole wedding party and guests involved in the music. They were great about correspondence, punctual, and extremely willing to accomodate any specialrequrests! Many of my bridesmaids told me they were the best band they had heard in a long time!!! I would MOST DEFINITELY reommend them! They were perfect!!!!!! :) -- Lois Ann R, Huntsville, AL, 10/24/2009
  • We had so much fun with Z at our wedding! Our family and friends are still talking about how great the band was!!! I'm already thinking of what I could hire him for next. -- Brittany H, Birmingham, AL, 9/26/2009
  • Wonderful! Fun! Professional! We had many compliments about this band. I would recommend them for sure. I talked with Charles on the phone several times and he was always accomadating to our needs. Thanks Z and the Party Faktory - We had a blast partying with you!!! Tracy -- Tracy B, Meridian, MS, 7/25/2009
  • Z and the Party Faktory performed this past weekend at our daughter's wedding reception and they were absolutely fabulous. We have received numerous phone calls and comments from friends and family in attendance in regard to how great the band was and how much they enjoyed themselves. Charlz kept the party going right up until 11:00pm. I should also note that he was very flexible and great to work with prior to the wedding. We had several special requests regarding introductions of the wedding party, etc. and they pulled it off without a hitch. We loved them and would highly recommend them! -- Debra P, Tuscaloosa, AL, 7/18/2009
  • They were the best! We had people dancing at the reception that normally would not be on the dance floor. I had several calls in the week following our event asking for the name of the band! They were so nice, and fun, and extremely talented!!! -- Amy G, Meridian, MS, 1/3/2009
  • Couldn't have asked for a better band to get (and keep) the party started!! We also received several compliments from our guests on our choice of band. If you're looking for a band to keep people on the dance floor, then look no further. Thanks Z! -- Adam S, Birmingham, AL, 12/13/2008
  • Z and the party factory was great. We would recommend them to anyone for there wedding. -- Andrew S, Mountain Brook, AL, 8/23/2008
  • They were fantastic!! Everyone had a wonderful time dancing to their music and I would highly recommend Z to anyone who is looking for a band. -- Sarah J, Birmingham, AL, 5/31/2008
  • I can't say enough good things about how good Z and the Party Faktory performed at our wedding. They were OUTSTANDING, and everyone at the wedding was asking me where we found them!!! I will definitely use them again when we have another party!! They WERE EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! -- Brandy R, Tuscaloosa, AL, 4/26/2008
  • They were great and easy to work with - Would love to have them work another party of ours -- Neal B, Vestavia Hills, AL, 12/31/2007
  • Our daughter's wedding reception was wonderful and Z and the Party FaKTORY were fantastic. SUch a great band and played all types of music for all ages. The dance floor was full the entire night. We would highly recommend them for other functions. -- Patti W, Hoover, AL, 12/31/2006
  • I've been to (and in) alot of weddings. I can honestly say that Z and the Party Faktory is, without a doubt, the best wedding band I have ever heard. The band is extremely talented, the song selection was the best we saw of any band on the internet (c'mon, who plays the oldies, Prince AND Led Zeppelin in the same night?!?), and Charlz and his crew were very accomodating. My wife and I had a few special requests and the band fulfilled each of them without question. If you're looking for a band that will have the dance floor full the entire night then look no further. My wife and I were on the dance floor until the very last song. We're still getting comments from family and friends about how great the band sounded. Lance and Sasha Birmingham, AL Married 10-7-06 in Huntsville, AL -- Lance W, Huntsville, AL, 10/7/2006
  • Wonderful Entertainment!! My wedding reception was a blast--thanks to Z and the Party Factory. -- Ashley R, Birmingham, AL, 6/10/2006
  • Z and the Party Faktory was GREAT. The guys were easy to talk to before the wedding, and they did a wonderful job on all of our specially requested songs ("You Send Me" in particular). There were some problems with the van, but thankfully they worked with my father-in-law to work that out. Best thing I can say about the band: they promised to get people out dancing and delivered. It was a flat out great time. Every picture I have from the reception is people smiling or laughing while sweating their butts off on the dance floor. We brought the people; Z brought the party. -- Mitch M, Dothan, AL, 8/2/2008
  • A very good group. It was especially comforting to have the ability to stay in touch with the band before the event for planning purposes. They were responsive at all times...and then put on a great, versile show. A class act that I would recommend. -- George M, Anniston, AL, 5/24/2008
  • Great band. I think several people at the wedding got there card so they could book them also. Highly recommend. -- David B, Greenville, MS, 5/19/2007
  • I think they did a great job. Lots of positive feedback from the guests. -- Paula P, Leeds, AL, 9/24/2011
