Feedback

  • These guys were AMAZING!!! Hire them for your event. They were so much fun at my wedding and so talented. Everyone at my 145 person wedding told me how great they thought the band was. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole time they played. They were very easy to work with and VERY accomodating! My guests could have danced into the wee hours of the morning to them. My Husband and I could not have had a better band for our wedding! Do not hesitate to hire Small Time Dave and the Windy City Groove, they are FANTASTIC!! -- Beth S, South Bend, IN, 6/21/2008
  • Great party band!!! Worked the crowd extremely well---diversity of instruments makes for an amazing sound, and the vocals were spot on as well. We had soooooooo many compliments from our guest on how incredible the band was. You guys definitely know how to entertain. Thanks for making our wedding reception one to remember! -- Connie S, Lafayette, IN, 9/30/2006
