Feedback

  • Very easy to work with.......GREAT show! -- Mark G, West Point, MS, 9/23/2006
  • Everyone loved this band. Their song diversity worked very well with the crowd of both young and old who attended our reception. One of the reasons I choose them was for the horn. They started with a "dinner set" of light jazz and by evening end had my 82 year old mother asking me to dance! Guests were dancing by themselves on a crowed floor. What fun we all had, including the band. -- Steve C, Duluth, GA, 6/5/2005
  • They were better than I could have imagined. It was terrific. I could not have asked for a better band. Everyone had a terrific time!! -- Robbie B, Dunwoody, GA, 6/4/2005
  • The band was very accomodating with our special requests which made the whole event more unique. Almost everyone of the 350 people attending danced through the evening. A good show! -- Pam H, Hendersonville, NC, 8/26/2006
