CLIENT FEEDBACK:
These guys were great to deal with. The space was less than ideal and they made it work. The effort that was put forth to assure a positive experience for the event was above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. I look forward to booking them again in the future.

The Great Imponderables were amazing at our reception. They went above and beyond to make our family and guests feel comfortable, happy and festive. They even had my husband's 82 year old grandparents up and dancing. That itself was a wonderful gift to both of us and will forever be in our hearts and memories. I would recommend this band to anyone who is getting married. They were so very professional, down to earth, friendly and all around nice group of guys. They truly rocked the house! We wish them all the best!
Rick, thanks again. Travis and I hope to catch you guys at a future event!!
Take care,
Lisa and Travis

I Contracted The Great Imponderables for my Daughters Wedding, as a Suprise to her, in Short Notice to the Band and was able to Pull it off with NO Hitches. Rick Creel was Great to work with, very Professional, Informative,and responded to all my needs & Concerns. My Daughter & Son Inlaw had a Special Song that they wanted for the Bride & Groom Dance That was Totally out of The Great Imponderables Style of Music, However Rick allowed the Band to Play the Music & Let an outsider ( Outsider of the band) do the Vocals VERY ACCOMADATING, THanks Rick. I would NOT hesitate to hire The Great Imponderables again. May in the near Future. The band was upbeat, Fun & Kept the dance floor rocking.
Thanks to Rick & Band Members

The Great Imponderables were very good about communicating before the weddng,in a timely manner, making sure all the details were covered, especially music desired by the bride and groom. They were very good about returning phone calls and e-mail promptly. They respected the couple's music choices and also made thoughtful recommendations. Most of all, the guests ( we had 155 guests ) loved the band, their talent and their personalities. They talked to the guests and motivated all to dance and have a great time! No one wanted to leave when it was time for the band to quit!

The Great Imponderables did a very nice job at our wedding reception. They were very professional and informative throughout the planning process. They were also very accomodating on the day of the wedding and even made a last minute change without any problems noted. Overall the band did a wonderful job and were very easy to work with. I would recommend them to use at your wedding reception or event.
