CelebrationReviewed on July 11, 2016From Freeport, MN

Loved this band! They accommodated to our needs and fit our budget. They had such a great mix of music and was very friendly and fun to work with. So bummed they are booked for our party this year! But would recommend them to anyone that wants to hear music you grew up with and get everyone out on the dance floor to jump around! So much fun.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on February 21, 2016From Owatonna, MN

If you are questioning a band verses DJ, hire them! Pretty good variety for a mixed wedding crowd. They were very kind to work with and had no hidden surprises or fees. On a down note, their transition from song to song was slow, their crowd involvement was minimal, and stage presence was pretty simple; tshirts and ball caps. They are not top notch musicians, but worth their price range. They were also professional in terms of not drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, if any.

Lightning Creek:

I wish we could hit a home run every time we stepped up to the plate. We can't but it never stops us from aiming for the fence! The review is inaccurate in that no band member has ever worn a t-shirt to a wedding reception nor would we. We did manage to leave some beer for the guests though, so at least that part is correct ;-).
