Feedback

  • West Street Band truly made our wedding a special event. Their song selection was diverse and they were more than accommodating in learning our special songs for the reception. All of the guys were really nice and Mike was very easy to work with through the planning process. We received so many compliments about WSB from all of our guests. For two families that know how to have a great time, they definitely gave us one that will never be forgotten! Peace, Love & Rock-n-Roll! ~Robbie & Cassie Kelley -- Robbie K, Wilmington, NC, 5/24/2009
