Review by Caitlin S.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on July 18, 2012From Poynette, WI

Everyone, I mean everyone at the wedding complimented us and told us how awesome the band was. They said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I'm sure that's because you guys brought the house down and had so many people dancing. Thank you so much for being such a memorable part of our wedding. I will definitely recommend you to our friends and family. Thanks guys.
