Feedback

  • Excellent Band!!! Everyone had a great time!! They know how to get the crowd going. We for sure will use them again!! They were awesome!! -- Cathy H, Callao, VA, 7/4/2009
  • We absolutely loved having Premiere play for our wedding. EVERYONE enjoyed the music. Even my grandfather (who is hard to please with music anymore) commented on how good the music was. I loved that they played dinner music as well as great dancing music. They were so pleasant to work with and made everything just go so smoothly. I would recommend Premiere to anyone who asked or said they were looking for a band to play their wedding!! It was great, there was always someone on the dance floor and my husband and I just couldn't have asked for more! -- Kourtney W, Culpeper, VA, 10/18/2008
  • Whatever your event you could no better than by Premiere. First, communication was exceptional. At first contact Jeanette asked for the theme of our event, how we would like them to dress, reviewed our musical taste by genre and title, and then worked hard to fulfill our expectations. They did and more. It's hard to find a professional classic standard, southern rock, Motown, Funk, country band these days but we did. Wow, Etta James, Hank Williams Jr. and Sam the Sham in the same set. Who woulda' thought. Great group! -- James H, Stafford, VA, 10/11/2008
  • Premiere played for my wedding and they were excellent! The thing I really loved was that they played something for everyone-the whole crowd spent the night on the dance floor! The band members were very friendly and the night went off flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this band to anyone planning a wedding or party! -- Sarah M, Kill Devil Hills, NC, 8/9/2008
  • These guys were great. I was very impressed and so were all of our guests. We hired them for a Capital One Holiday Party on Dec. 5, 2008 and they showed up with plenty of time to set up and practice before everyone arrived. They changed into holiday/festive uniforms. They performed with lots of energy and really knew what to do to get folks up and moving. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and work contacts. And, their price is very reasonable. Thank you Premiere!!! -- Linda C, Richmond, VA, 12/5/2008
  • This is a very talented group. I would recommend them to anyone having a function. -- Darius P, Charlottesville, VA, 2/14/2009
  • The band was excellent - they played something for everyone. That's really hard to find. The performers were well-dressed and friendly.

  • Premiere performed at our Source4 Chistmas party on Saturday, December 15. They were awesome!! Very professsional, accomadating and talented.

Janice Rakes Director of Marketing/Special Events Source4 Roanoke, VA -- Janice R, Roanoke, VA, 12/15/2007
  • Premiere was wonderful at my wedding. They had everyone out dancing on the dance floor, and I mean EVERYONE!!!

  • The band was very accomadating to the unexpected rain and was flexible to our requests. The selection of music was very fun and the talent of the band was overwhelming. I would definitly not hesitate to recomend Premiere to anyone for any event. Overall, I was very pleased with the expierence and heard nothing but excellent feed back from everyone at the party. -- Erin E, Richmond, VA, 6/3/2007
  • We would definitely rebook the Premiere Group for future parties and have already recommended them to our friends! We could not have been more satisfied. Great playlist. My guests raved!!! Teresa and Dennis Haynes -- Teresa H, Richmond, VA, 12/8/2006
  • I have nothing but fabulous things to say about Premiere Band - they arrived early with plenty of time to set up, were extremely friendly, and kept the crowd smiling and dancing all night! I would recommend them to a friend as well as personally use them again. -- Bridget B, King George, VA, 10/14/2006
  • THese guys were great. we asked a lot of them, and they came through for us. totally awesome working with them. would recommend them to anybody for any event. awesome. -- Melissa A, Glen Allen, VA, 6/14/2008
  • This is the second year we've used Premiere for our July 4th event, and it was a success! They play a wide variety of music, and it appeals to a wide audience. They arrived well in advance to set up, and the overall performance was great! -- Katey L, Gloucester Point, VA, 7/4/2006
  • Premiere Band was responsive during our initial search, completely accommodating of our requests to add additional players (horns, fiddler) and incredibly flexible during our event. Our program was a bit "fluid" and Premiere remained responsive and flexible throughout. I would strongly recommend them for anyone looking for great covers from the 50's through the 70's/80's and/or a country western flavor. -- Mary Beth C, Washington, DC, 3/11/2006
