Feedback

  • The 1969 Band was amazing! They exceeded all my expectations! Not only were they great to work with in preparation for the wedding reception, the performance was incredibly fun and the song selections were perfect! My parents and I have already received numerous requests for the name of the band, so that other people can use them. I could not have picked a better reception band. Almost every guest stayed until 1:00 AM, and no one sat down, we danced the entire 4 hours. If you are having a wedding, you should definitely reserve the 1969 Band! My sincere thanks go out to Bart and all the other Band members! -- Caroline W, Louisville, KY, 10/20/2007
  • The 1969 Band were the greatest. They made the paty! My guest were very impressed with the talent and their range of material. -- Laurie S, Gallatin, TN, 7/28/2007
  • The band was superb. They handled special requests flawlessly and had the entire crowd of 200 people on the dance floor the entire evening. Many of my guests said it was the best wedding reception they had ever attended. I would give them the highest accolades possible. I hope that anyone in Central or Eastern Tennessee will call them first when booking a band for a wedding or for a special occasion. -- Steve M, Lookout Mtn, TN, 7/1/2006
