ADDITIONAL BAND REVIEWS

We wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful job your band did playing at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception. We all had a fantastic time.

It was exactly the kind of evening we were hoping for. People kept dancing the whole night long. From the five year old flower girl to the eighty-three year old grandmother, you provided fun for everyone. Many of our family and friends told us you were the best wedding band they had heard in a long time.
We loved the variety of songs and your willingness to take requests. There were a couple of times when you said you didn't know a song and then before too long you surprised us by either playing it or incorporating it into a medley.

You did a great job of keeping everyone involved as you moved around the reception hall as you performed. And it was a great treat for the groom when you invited him to sing along with the band on his favorite song!

Thank you also for being available for the entire evening even before the official start of the dancing. Being the MC for the evening by introducing the couple and their wedding party and the special events such as the cake cutting was very much appreciated.

We plan on recommending your band to anyone we hear of who is planning a special event and would like to have a band.

The bride and groom thought it was the most perfect wedding and reception ever. What more could we ask for? We want to thank you again for helping to make that happen.

Sincerely,
Dean and Barb Moore

Hi, Ralph- we had such a nice time at our wedding dance! Thank you for making it fun! We had numerous people say how much fun they were having and ask, "Where did you find this band?"

Music selection – we appreciated you playing our requests as well as responding to what people seemed to want to hear.

Assistance with scheduled activities and announcements – perfect. We weren't quite sure how to run the speeches and dollar dance – you gave us suggestions and then took the lead when it came time for it.

Professionalism of the musicians – very good. Good interaction with the crowd – funny yet professional and enthusiastic.
Musicians attire – perfect –

Other Comments – Your band plays with energy and heart and that translated to our guests having a great time!

Thank you!

Every guest, and I mean every guest, had only the highest praise for your performance. You made the wedding what it was. Without your stellar performance, it would have been just an ordinary wedding, but you made it extraordinary. Thank you so much. We ALL had a great time.

• We thought the Crossfire Band did a wonderful job. The music sounded great. They are very talented and interacted well with the crowd. It was great to see so many of our guests on the dance floor. The band was also very organized and had all the equipment set up in advance of the ceremony and reception. -- Rebecca L, St Paul, MN, 10/14/2011
• Ralph and the rest of the band were fantastic at Wayne's retirement party! They delivered on everything they advertised! I think Crossfire is one of Minnesota's finest bands, not only from a musical perspective, but they are simply really good people! I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks Ralph and the rest of the Crossfire band for an exceptional performance Friday night! P.S. Thanks for letting me play the drums! I had a blast! -- David S, Mankato, MN, 2/17/2012
• Had Crossfire perform at our wedding reception and they were BRILLIANT!!! They had the place rocking from start to finish with all ages dancing. They took the time to learn specific songs beforehand, requested by us, which they didn't know. They communicated very well with us before the wedding, and catered to the setting and audience very well. They made a great night even better. We were pleased with their flexibility and enthusiasm for our day. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fun evening. Thanks to Ralph and all the guys! -- Juliana T, Kenyon, MN, 6/18/2011
• This band did an awesome job!! we had age range from 2 to 85 and everyone was having a grat time. They were very open to music we wanted and asked if volume and such was ok during the breaks. They were dressed very nicely and it was neat how they went into the guests and played. Everyone I talked to had a wonderful time and there were a lot of people dancing. thank you so much -- Jodi K, Owatonna, MN, 1/1/2011
• every member of the crossfire band is finely tuned and full of talent. We could not have asked for anything better, they over exceded all our expectations! they really know how to get a crowd going from ages 8 to 88! our feedback from our guests was all A+ but needed not to be said just because of the expressions on there face when they were dancing all night! we cant express our happiness enough!! crossfire rules!!!! -- Ryan J, Owatonna, MN, 9/25/2010
• They were totally accomodating to all our requests. They were friendly, energetic and kept all the guests dancing throughout the evening. The went an extra mile in playing extra time for us. -- Carrie K, Minnetonka, MN, 4/15/2010
• We really enjoyed having Crossfire Band at our reception. We were extremely happy with how everything turned out and had a fabulous time! We had many great comments from guests regarding the band. The only thing I would change is that many guests commented that the band should display their name because they wanted to know who they were! The band was very accomodating with special requests and interactive with the guests without being cheesy! Great band! We highly recommend! -- Kristine M, Albany, MN, 6/25/2011
• The Crossfire Band was absolutely terrific. They made our wedding a huge success. I can't say enough good things about their performance and their talent. We had 20 year olds and 90 year olds that were dancing all night. Talk about 4 great guys that made our wedding one of the most fun times that our guests have experienced in years. The music selections were both modern and reflective. Ralph was so easy to work with, and very accommodating to all of our requests both before the date and all the last minute details. We even had the groom sit in as the drummer for a couple of songs that was most entertaining. Book them now to make any music venue a success. -- Jan H, Hillman, MN, 9/24/2011
