Feedback

  • Bill and the guys from the Big Zephy Band were amazing. They performed Country music for my Western Event and I will be using them again for our Independence Event as a rock band. Multi-talented and professional...and they set up early which is always a plus in my book! -- Lauren S, Peoria, AZ, 3/26/2011
  • Band manager responded promptly once my RFQ was distributed via GigMasters. I appreciated a direct call in addition to email about pricing and availability, as it allowed me the opportunity to talk through our particular set-up requirements and audience. The band was a pleasure to work with, I would absolutely hire them again for another event. Enjoyed doing with business with them, strongly recommended. -- Karen O, Glendale, AZ, 11/14/2010
  • They were ABSOLUTELY wonderful! Talented, flexible, fun and we will have them back again! I can't say enough good things about Bill and the crew. They were great and went above and beyond to make our event great! -- Theresa D, Scottsdale, AZ, 11/6/2010
  • The band absolutely made our wedding! First of all, Bill always called to check in and follow up to make sure things would be done and ready before the event. When our other vendors were lazy or remiss in responding, the Big Zephyr got in touch with them and made things happen. Their playlist offers something for every generation. I have never seen such an age range dance at any wedding. Everybody commented on how wonderful the music was. A plus for Big Zephyr if you want to have everybody dancing at your party. Thanks so much you guys! -- Madeleine W, Sedona, AZ, 11/8/2009
