HERE IS PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT TIMELESS:

Timeless is an incredibly talented group that provided a wide variety of music for our daughter's wedding reception. The band is very personable and met with us on a couple of occasions to review details of our event. The group communicated with me several times via e-mail and phone calls to finalize the requested details of our event. The band kept everyone on the dance floor all night long and created a perfect party setting for our guests. I highly recommend this band to everyone based on their musical abilities and professionalism. Thank you "Timeless" for a perfect evening! Sherri Hutchens Stenberg -Sherri S, Winston Salem, NC

Timeless was the perfect pick for our wedding. They were professional, easy to work with, accommodating, and very friendly and fun. Musically, they are absolutely top notch. They played jazz during dinner which everybody loved and it was clear that all musicians were completely comfortable and well versed in this style. After dinner we had them play up-tempo funk, soul, and rock and roll music which they played with equal mastery. Finding a band this versatile is not easy but timeless is this band. We could not have been happier. Our dance floor was packed and everybody complemented the music throughout the night. We strongly recommend timeless for your event! -Evan M, Durham, NC

"Timeless was absolutely awesome! Our goal was to find a band that covered all ages and music tastes, while still reflecting that we are a very young couple. Timeless did this with 100% satisfaction....there were 2 year olds and 72 year olds, hard rockers and shaggers, on the dance floor all night long. They were the perfect addition to our reception." Meridith P,

"I would highly recommend TIMELESS. From my first correspondence with them to the end of the event, they were most professional and accommodating. Carol was so helpful. The band enjoys playing together and their enjoyment shows; they are not 'working,' they are performing and they read their audience well. My guests enjoyed their music, charisma, and their genuine love of their art." Lynne Raha

"Timeless is the most professional band we've worked with. They truly care about honoring requests and delivering the party that the customer imagines. They were talented, friendly, and fun. They added spirit and energy to our charming evening." Mary Keever

"Timeless was outstanding! They helped take our wedding reception to the next level. They were fun, entertaining, and extremely talented."
Erin Must Twamley

"TIMELESS was the PERFECT band for our wedding! They played a Huge variety of music which pleased all of our guests and they were more than willing to learn new songs for our wedding. They constantly asked what they could do for me to make the day better. I have never seen a band that allowed kids on their stage but I looked up once and saw my nieces and nephews up on the stage playing instruments! They were WONDERFUL! I was amazed at how wonderful they were! Anyone would be lucky to have Timeless play at their event!" Casey Reed Elrod

"We were very pleased with Timeless at our wedding. Carol was very attentive and quick to respond to emails that I sent dealing with details. Everyone loved the music and commented on how attentive they were with the audience. We would definitely hire them again for another important function and highly recommend them to others as well." Stephanie E, Wedding, Greensboro, NC

Feedback

  • If we could give Timeless 10 stars, we would! From the beginning, Timeless was great to work with. Carol answered all of our questions very promptly and was very professional. They provided a great mix of music, from older dance songs to new music that just came out; they even agreed to learn a new song for our 1st dance, which we were thrilled about! We had a great time at our wedding - numerous guests commented how much fun the band was. We especially loved how interactive they were....they would mingle with the guests to get them dancing/singing (which our guests loved!) To sum it up, Timeless was a GREAT band and we will certainly recommend to anyone! THANK YOU! -- Anna S, Roanoke, VA, 11/5/2011
  • Very well done. Great entertainers, no drama, very professional and their follow up and organization prior to the event took all the worry out of reserving a band via the internet. -- JW R, Winston Salem, NC, 4/7/2012
  • This band was beyond all expection!! They simply, without a doubt, made the wedding reception the huge success it was! We had countless attendees tell us it was the best evening they'd had in a very long while!! My only regret is that I can't keep dancing to their music! I didn't want the night to end! The talent there is fantastic! -- Diane E, Greensboro, NC, 5/17/2008
  • Timeless is a fantastic band. Their level of talent and professionalism deserves 10-stars! For once at our corporate party, the dance floor was packed. Everyone commented on the great music. Hire this band. You'll be glad you did. Paula Barkley TRD High Point NC -- Paula B, High Point, NC, 12/14/2007
  • There is only one word to describe Timeless and that is FABULOUS!!!!! They are not only very professional, they have great sounds. They have a great variety of music and something for everyone. The only concern from my committee was that the band would be too loud to talk to the people at their table but were very pleased that Timeless listened to that concern and was very accomodating. Carol was awesome to work with in setting up our event. I would HIGHLY recomend this band and we will definately have them back next year by tons of request. They are FABULOUS!!!! -- Patty B, Burlington, NC, 11/9/2007
  • We cannot say enough great things about Timeless! They started off the relationship with a personal interest in us, our wedding style, music preferences, and special needs. They responded immediately to logistical questions, played incredible music at the wedding reception and got everyone onto the dance floor, having a wonderful time from the moment they started playing. Everyone at the reception commented on the quality of their music. THANK YOU! Jay and Kimberley -- Jay R, Greensboro, NC, 9/22/2007
  • I cannot begin to say how wonderful Timeless was at our wedding! From the very beginning, they were so accommodating, and willing to do whatever it took to make our day extra special! The variety of their music is amazing - there is truly something for everyone. They are very classy, very professional, and all-around great people who are invested in making a wedding something very unique. There was a lot of personal contact, and they were willing to learn and play "our song" to really clinch the ambiance of our wedding. There is no way we could have had a better band for our wedding! I would absolutely tell everyone I met to book them!!!!!!! -- Elizabeth R, Clemmons, NC, 5/24/2008
