Feedback
- Everything was wonderful. Bob was very professional and easy to work with. The band had no problem learning new songs for our special dances and the mix of music played was great. We also had the band break down to a jazz trio and play during our cocktail hour. Whoz Playin is a great value for everything you get. Everybody told us how great of a time they had dancing and listening to the music!
-- Ryan H, Eau Claire, WI, 2/21/2009
- The band was great. They let me join in playing guitar all night and they kept people dancing. Our wedding was a success. They accomodated any request and seemed to really enjoy entertaining our guests. -- Richard S, Eau Claire, WI, 11/1/2008
- It was actually my High School band teacher who led me to Whoz Playing. There was no question about hiring them. Email and phone contact was very timely and reliable. We planned our Wisconsin wedding from California, so this contact was very important. Beyond their extreme flexibility, is of course, pure talent. We had two special request songs which Whoz Playing pulled off without a hitch. Of all the crazy elements in planning a wedding, it was a relief to have these guys make the music part so easy. The event would not have been the same without out them! Thanks so much for the memories you helped provide!
-Patrick & Beth Higgins -- Beth H, Madison, WI, 10/18/2008
- I want to thank Whoz Playing for making our wedding so special.
They were so easy to work with. From the beginning they were great communicators. They kept in touch throughout the whole process. I was stressed out with last minute wedding details and they were so professional - they have done this for so long that they waited until I was able to get the last minute details to them and were even able to accommodate a last minute song request! I can't even begin to tell you how flawless the evening went and the caliber of the show and their talent. And how many requests we got to give their info to friends! Thank you again. Highly recommended. Willing to be a reference -- Shelly W, Wausau, WI, 5/16/2008
- I can not say enough good things about Whoz Playing. They are an awesome band! They were very accomodating to what we wanted for our party, trying to please us in every way. They are great musicians and we had such good comments about them from our crowd. They rate a 5 star status from me. Thanks again to the guys of Whoz Playing! -- Kathy B, Beaver Dam, WI, 7/23/2008
