Review by Brian K.

WeddingReviewed on October 4, 2014From Carmel, CA

Many attendees at the wedding remarked during and afterward how good the band was. Martin was very accommodating in the song list and even added a few tunes that were special to us that the band had to learn making the event that much more special. Overall a solid performance with a good range of styles.
