Les was fun, professional and flexible. He jammed like a rockstar and organized like an accountant. We would recommend him to anyone looking to have a special night.

Les Baxter Factor is great!! We hired them for our wedding and could not have chosen a better band. We met with Les beforehand to go over our requests and timeline and he had so many suggestions for us! Our friends and family are still talking about them. A truly magical night in so many ways that would not have been the same without the Les Baxter Factor!! Amochip played the sax as the wedding party and myself (the Bride!) walked down the aisle. What a surprise for our guests! Definitely not traditional but it was our request and had people talking! We hired them for an extra 2 hours because everyone was dancing up a storm. Les also DJ'd the evening after the band finished their sets. We would recommend them to anyone who loves to "get down"!!

The Les Baxter Factor played at our wedding. After a lengthy review of several entertainers we decided upon the Les Baxter Factor because of their professional manner and enthusiasm about playing in Texas. Once we booked the group we found them extremely accommodating with our location, time and selection of songs we wanted played. Les was awesome to work with in arranging all of the details for the event and followed through on every detail that we agreed upon. The day of the wedding we were very confident in the band, which was a relief to have one less thing to worry about. The actual entertainment from the band was way more than we expected. We loved this band!!! We were blown away!!! Our guest were very impressed by the band and kept asking us where we found these guys! Overall, we had a wonderful time at our wedding and the Les Baxter Factor was a big reason why. We highly recommend them for any occasion where you need great entertainment from incredible people!!! Thanks so much LBF...hope we get to catch you guys again sometime. --Amanda & Brian Kelleher

Having a band play at our wedding reception was very important to us. After researching bands for a long while, I found The Les Baxter Factor and I just had a feeling about them so I booked them right away. Boy was I right about them! Not only are they so talented, but they are so much fun! The Band really made our party a celebration and we could not be more pleased. We really want to thank the band for being so easy to work with, being so professional, and most of all giving us some great music to dance to!

Les and his band are amazing. Our awards dinner was elegant and sophisticated and thats all I had to say for this band to conform to our event and make this experience a memorable one for our guests. The vocals were a new twist for us that I was very excited about. Les has a great voice. I look forward to working with them again in the future. Thanks Les!

Les and his band were amazing performers -loved their original music ,great dance music, constant music that was dj'd not piped in and, played back-up for me to sing. But, it was their easy attitude and consistent help and understanding that makes them stand apart from the rest. We needed the first half of the wedding to be live background music and a dance banc the second half. They accomodated in both band size, style and price. They understood all of the constraints of our room, as the band and dance floor were in an ajoining room to the dining room. The Arizona Inn was delighted with there service and professionalism, as well.

Besides my beautiful bride, The Les Baxter Factor made the entire wedding. I am still getting compliments on the music almost a month after. Les and the band interacted with my guests in the most professional way bringing them into the spirit of the party. Their professionalism and dependability was of the highest degree. Les maintained contact with me prior to the occasion, and afterwards followed through to make sure it was everything I expected. I would highly recommend the band for any occasion, and look forward to booking them again.

The Les Baxter Factor made the party! We received so many positive comments about the band from our guests. They were very accomodating - starting off with jazz music while we had cocktails and dinner, and then dance music started and I don't think there was a sole sitting down! Great entertainers, professional, fun and talented. I would highly recommend The Les Baxter Factor.
