• We had Shine play at our wedding and they were so great! From the time we booked them til the end of the wedding, they were friendly and helpful. They even learned one of our favorite songs for us! They played 80's, 90's, beach music, motown, and the oh-so-favorite dance songs. Shine DJ'd and played live music for us and our guests LOVED them! We heard so many of our guests raving about how much fun they were having. Folks of all ages were out on the dance floor all night long. Shine ended up being so far past our expectations!!!! Thanks, guys! -Sara & Britt from Raleigh, NC -- Sara H, Raleigh, NC, 12/3/2011
• Hiring Shine to play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They were so talented and got the entire party on the dance floor. They were very accomodating and kept the party going all night! I would def. recommend them to anyone looking for a band that has an awesome set list for a very reasonable price! -- Anna F, Charlotte, NC, 6/18/2011
• We booked SHINE for our wedding, and they were incredible! Our dance floor was crowded all night... and we got several great compliments from our guests following the weeding! In addition, they were super accommodating in allowing my Grandfather to use their set-up to sing us a song! Also, due to the inclement weather our original schedule was changed and they were super accommodating and ensured our evening continued on smoothly! We booked SHINE without overseeing them perform live and could not be happier with our decision!! Very, very pleased with heir professionalism and amazing performance! They have a great ability to read a crowd. Would highly recommend!! -- Thayne Y, Wilmington, NC, 4/16/2011
• I couldn't have asked for anything more from a band. The band members were all excited to be there and had a great time pumping up my guests! I got so many compliments for booking Shine; they kept everyone dancing the entire night, and were very energetic and just plain talented. They made the night especially memorable. I would highly recommend Shine based on their professionalism, talent, and ability to entertain any crowd. Thanks for a great night, Shine! -- Rupali S, Raleigh, NC, 12/16/2011
• I would recommend the Shine Band for any event! They were great and really made our wedding reception a hit!! I just cannot say enough good things about them!! -- Amy S, Raleigh, NC, 6/4/2011
• We were a bit scared that our crowd would be a bit too timid to get up and dance. However, we were pleasantly surprised that Shine was able to really get the crowd going. We had asked them to begin with some lighter music during dinner for which they learned some new songs. This portion of the show was great and was perfect background music. As the night progressed Shine got the party going. We couldn't have picked a better band for this occasion! -- Faryn D, Greensboro, NC, 1/22/2011
• Shine was perfect for our wedding! Everyone was dancing the entire time. Many of our guests complimented the band and wanted to know how we found them. The band learned a song for our first dance, and spent hours before the event to personalize their performance for the wedding. We are delighted with their performance and highly recommend that you hire them for your event. -- Kristi B, Chapel Hill, NC, 6/11/2011
• I was very pleased with Shine! The band members were very easy to work with, and willing to be flexible with reception schedule changes. They remained calm and professional at all times, even when rain began to flood the reception tent and endanger their equipment. I was very impressed with their performance, attitudes, and interactions with myself and my client. From a wedding planner's perspective, they were a dream to work with and I will definitely recommend Shine to future clients. -- Natasha W, Willow Springs, NC, 4/9/2011
• I first heard Shine at TirNaNog shortly after becoming engaged and they were so much fun and sounded so great that I asked for their information so that I could book them for our wedding. From the start, they were so nice and made sure to keep me updated on whenever they were playing in the area. I went to hear them a few times before our wedding and each time Mike remembered my name and made a point to come ever and say hello. Closer to the event, Mindy contacted me to get the details of the day and left me at ease knowing she would MC at the reception and keep things on track. The band even learned a new song for my dance with my Father. We highly recommend them!! -- Katie B, Ocean Isle Beach, NC, 5/21/2011
• The band got the party started-- and the energy stayed high all night. Everyone from our teenage guests to our 80-year-old grandparents complimented us on our choice of band. The dance floor stayed packed the whole time. Love Shine! Would recommend to anyone! Thanks, band! -- Andrea G, Chapel Hill, NC, 9/18/2010
• The band was great. They were very accomodating. They learned a new song for our wedding. They helped with all the sound requirements for the day, and they gave our guests a first rate show. Everybody danced, and nobody wanted to leave at the end. -- John B, Smithfield, NC, 9/19/2009
• Shine was very accomodating and energetic. They continually monitored the crowd and changed up according to the needs of the audience. Everyone enjoyed the music selection and quality the of sound / professionalism. Great job! -- Philip G, Raleigh, NC, 12/10/2011
• "Shine" was perfect! We hired them to perform for my fiancé’s 30th Birthday and had a fabulous time! They played a variety of old school rock-n-roll songs and really kept the crowd entertained! "Shine" made sure to meet our every request and need for dancing and even let some of the boys shake their tambourine! We look forward to hearing them play around town and wish them great success as I know they will certainly achieve! Thanks! -- Tonya D, Cary, NC, 4/19/2008
• The band was great. The party was for my husband's 50th birthday and he really enjoyed their music. They played a lot of his favorites from the 70's and 80's. I would definitely hire them again! -- Natalie G, Thomasville, NC, 10/12/2007
• Shine did an amazing job at our outdoor wedding, and I am still getting rave reviews on my choice of band. They stayed in contact with me in the months leading up to the event, and with abiut six weeks' notice, they learned TWO new songs just for the occasion, for the first dance and the father-daughter dance. I cannot recommend them highly enough. -- Joan S, Durham, NC, 9/4/2011
• This band was GREAT fun. Their interaction with the crowd and accommodation of all our requests made this a really enjoyable experience for us. BOOK 'em! You'll be glad you did. -- Lynda S, Wilson, NC, 4/30/2011
• They did a great job communicating with us in advance and accomodating any special requests. All of our guests complimented us on a great band. I'd strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band that gets people on the dance floor. -- Maggie B, Cary, NC, 9/5/2009
