Feedback
- These guys were fantastic. Everyone loved the music. They managed to get almost everyone dancing. Chris had the added challenges of not being able to use any amplified sound. We could not have a microphone or evan a piano that plugged in and the sound was still fantastic! I would recommend these guys to anyone! I loved them and so did all of out guests! -- Jennifer C, Portsmouth, NH, 8/22/2009
- The Chis Humphrey Big Band played at our wedding and I can't say enough great things about them. We found them simply through a web search, and Chris' voice was excellent. We considered the price for his talent level exceptional! We purchased a quartet (Chris plays piano and sings, and he brought a drummer, upright bass player and saxophonist. Chris was exceptionally professional, answering emails much quicker than I ever expected, working out all of our questions and the details quickly. Chris was incredibly easy to work with and very accommodating. His music was enjoyed by all and his MC announcements were professionally done and classy. -- Rand W, Rockport, MA, 6/20/2009
- I would have loved to see them all dresses the same as in a white shirt and tie of the same or tuxedos.
I failed to request this I assumed they would all dress the same
music was awesome and loved the band they will play anything you ask.
I would recommend to anyone. except when hireing express the dress for the event.
Hope to have you back soon
