• We recently booked The Zen Band for our June wedding downtown. I cannot express enough how highly we recommend the band! We received countless compliments throughout the evening last night about the band. We had a HUGE percentage of our guests not only still in attendance, but having a blast on the dance floor at 11pm when the reception ended. I have to give 100% of the credit for that to the band. They were VERY accommodating and listened to all of our requests. They did their best to make sure everything happened the way we had envisioned. We had a lot of friends our age (mid twenties) but also a lot of people our parent’s age. EVERYONE loved the music! -- Kelly R, Columbus, OH, 6/18/2011
• The Zen Band was high energy and related well with our crowd. Their song choices were great and their musical talent had our audience celebrating. The best part was their encore, they continued to play great music past the concert ending time because our crowd wanted more. -- Saundra M, Delaware, OH, 8/4/2011
• This band was amazing and made our graduation party so memorable! They were very accommodating to the weather and the small performance area. Everyone loved the band and danced the night away! -- Katharine M, Delaware, OH, 5/8/2010
• The Zen band far exceeded our expectations. Kellee was incredible with her desire to make the night memorable for us. Every member made a great contribution to the evening. Did I mention, we loved them!!! My friends told me that they voted our wedding reception as the best they had been to because of The Zen Band! I look forward to hearing them again. Special thanks again, we LOVE them!!! -- Sally W, Columbus, OH, 10/22/2011
• The Zen Band performed at our 2011 Holiday Party and was a success. The band did everything they were asked. They were accomodating with all of our requests, in set-up, using their PA system and the wonderful entertainment and music they provided. I highly recommend this band for any event you might have. Thank you from all of us at THK Manufacturing of America. -- Swen A H, Hebron, OH, 12/17/2011
