Feedback

  • Mack Grout did a fantastic job playing at our wedding. Mack and his band members traveled all the way from Seattle, WA to Astoria, OR to help make our wedding a special day. The trio was punctual and very professional the whole evening. They did an amazing job integrating the Beatles songs we had requested into their own repertoire of music. Throughout the evening we heard numerous compliments about the band. They truly did an incredible job and were a perfect fit for our event. I would recommend Mack Grout to anyone looking to hire a band. The immense range of music they can play will leave any client feeling satisfied. Thanks for everything Mack! -- Gina R, Astoria, OR, 6/27/2009
