• This event was for my moms 60th birthday. She is a long time classic rock lover. Poetic License were very good and made my moms celebration perfect for her to dance, sing, and even participate with the band. She loved it! If you want a night full of good times and continuing entertainment you should call Poetic License. Good people. -- Maureen O, Sunland, CA, 8/8/2009
• We had weather that didn't want to cooperate, and the band was AWESOME about accomodating the change in plans for the day. We moved them from our stage to a more intimate setting on the veranda, and they handled everything smoothly. Our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful the band was! They definitely made our event a success, and we look forward to having them back at our future events! -- Margaret A, Ontario, CA, 6/6/2009
• Band arrived on time and were nice and professional. The guests had a great time and loved them. -- Annette S, Fountain Valley, CA, 7/3/2009
• This was the second time we hired Poetic License & they were fantastic, again! They even dressed up in costume for our Halloween Party! Many of our neighbors said they loved the music & asked for their contact information so they could hire them in the future! We love them. Very professional, friendly & fun. Thank you! -- Mark D, Aliso Viejo, CA, 10/25/2008
• Just let me say what a great experience I had dealing with Poetic License. All the band members were so professional and polite. They started off by arriving right on time and the evening was flawless. They played all our favorites and offered to take requests. I hope they will return to do our annual block party so more of our friends can enjoy their talent. Hands down, they are a great band. Good luck to you all Annette, George, Dennis and Roseane. Thanks for a wonderful evening. Teresa Dulla -- Teresa R, Mission Viejo, CA, 9/6/2008
• They were AWESOME! Friendly, fun people, great energy, great music. So many people at our party asked where we found them! We are booking them for 2 more parties this year. Thank you all so much! You were absolutely fantastic !!! -- Mark D, Aliso Viejo, CA, 9/13/2008
• My overall experience with the band was excellent. They arrived on time and were friendly to all our guests. They were very accommodating to our musical requests and were able to make the entire party dance the night away. The vocal and instrumnetal sound was GREAT!! Their online video does not fully portray their musical talent. It was an extreme pleasure having POETIC LICENSE perform at our party and would strongly recommend them to anyone who would like to have their party ROCK ALL NIGHT! -- Andrea D, Buena Park, CA, 6/14/2008
• Poetic License was outstanding, everyone was up and dancing the entire night. I couldn't have been more pleased with the variety of music they played. All of my friends were saying where did you find this band, they're great! I would highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again. -- Sue H, Rowland Heights, CA, 12/8/2007
