• ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!! Is all I can say. The Rhythm Edition made my wedding. They were extremely PROFESSIONAL and HELPFUL. Dennis the leader of the band worked very closely with me on everything from a song list right down to the itinerary so that everything would run smoothly. EXCELLENT VOCALISTS AND MUSICIANS! They rocked the place! They were willing to learn a couple of requested songs that I was wanting. All night long my guests kept asking me "Where did I find The Rhythm Edition? They are jamming!" They are not just a band, but entertaining also - very nice touches all night long. They play to a wide age group from my 80 year old grandmother to my 17 year old cousin. If you are looking for a band that will keep the dance floor packed then I suggest you consider The Rhythm Edition. -- Shirley M, El Mirage, AZ, 11/25/2006
• The Rhythm Edition created the exact mode I was looking for at my wedding reception---which was high energy and fun. Everybody got on the dance floor! The band is very entertaining with their diversity of band members and different lead singers (the female singers were great!). The band gave a large songlist several months prior to the wedding that I could choose from; and they really created a great mix of tunes. All of my wedding guests were talking about the band the next day. Thank you Rhythm Edition! -- Katie M, Carefree, AZ, 10/21/2006
• Awesome group! This band went way beyond expectations. They went out of their way to make the party enjoyable for everyone. They're very professional and really know how to play music enjoyed by all. People danced that hadn't danced in years. Many of our guest never got off of the dance floor! By the end of the evening no one remained seated. The guest talked about the party for days, with many comments about how the band made the party happen. Thanks guys. -- Kelly J, Phoenix, AZ, 5/13/2006
