  • Bill & Carl of High Tide where fabulous! All of the guests had a great time dancing to High Tide's music. Being an Event Planner, I strongly recommend High Tide to perform for you. Their music, talent, song selection, and personalities make for an enjoyable evening, one not going to be forgotten. Thanks so much BILL & CARL! Kaylie Taylor, Events To Remember, Sebring, FL -- Kaylie T, Sebring, FL, 7/12/2008
  • High Tide performed at our wedding and did a magnificent job not only performing but also emceeing the event. They did a great job of playing music he guests liked and were receptive to. Highly recommended for any event. Thanks again guys! -- Casey W, Fort Myers, FL, 4/19/2008
  • We've used High Tide twice and each time have been delighted with their choice in music selections. They create a fun, tropical, beach themed ambiance to any event suitable for all ages and audiences. No need to worry about questionable lyrics or offensive material here. There won't be any! Totally professional everytime! -- Wendy F, Tampa, FL, 6/8/2007
  • This was the first time I had planned an event of this magnitude but High Tide made it simple. They answered my questions, made sure to ask for information I might have otherwise not given thought to and was very communicative before the event. At the event, they arrived early, engaged the audience when they were reluctant and was able to cater to the whole group. It was a fun night by all thanks to High Tide. I would reccommend them in a heartbeat and if I ever need a band again they will be at the top of my list. Jeannene Riddle -- Jeannene R, Daytona Beach, FL, 4/22/2006
  • We chose High Tide for our daughter's wedding because their style of music was perfectly suited for a "Beach Wedding." They were willing to travel from Kissimmee, FL to St. George Island, FL (6+ hours!!) We can not say enough good things about Bill and Carl, they were so much more than we expected!! It rained throughout the whole reception....but our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and High Tide made that possible. Their music had EVERYONE dancing and no one wanted to leave!! Their professionalism was incredible and we all felt like they were our friends by the time the evening was over. GREAT JOB BILL AND CARL!!! -- Lisa S, Apalachicola, FL, 4/30/2005
