Feedback
- We want to thank you ever so kindly for providing
the band music for our May 28, 2006 wedding. You guys were simply
terrific and we loved the classic tunes you played.
Your renditions of Hava Neglia and Besame Mucho were fantastic.
Everyone had a terrific time listening and dancing to the tunes you
played. And, it was especially fun when you allowed my 98 year old
grandfather to sing with the band!
Thanks so much for making our special day all the more special!

- We could not have been happier with the Sultans of Swing. When bad weather forced us to cancel the original date, they worked with us on changing to the new date. Should we repeat the event next year I am quite confident that we will want to use them.

- Thank you. Sultans of Swing were great, I enjoyed working with them, they were easy to work with on the planning part leading up to the event, and they did a first class job at the event. They are versatile, were able to do music for cocktails, softer at dinner and great swing when some of the folks wanted to dance. I'd hire them back again for future functions. I also would use you all, Gigmasters, you did exactly what your web site promised and all very painlessly and for inexpensive cost. Thanks much!!!
