Review by Rachel V.

WeddingReviewed on January 16, 2009From Asheville, NC

Although a week before the wedding the lead singer called and stated she wanted to know if we could pick another singer. We were thrilled with the singer she directed us to. The band was amazing!

WeddingReviewed on May 31, 2008From Cashiers, NC

MsJones & the Velvetones honestly made my entire wedding reception spectacular. Everyone was asking me where I found them. They were so professional and they sounded amazing. After talking about what I wanted I didn't have to think twice, they kept the pace of the day so that I could fit in all the reception essentials. They started out with slow, beautiful classics during dinner and then got everyone out of their seats. Lauren's voice is amazing and the whole group really kept the party going. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Their talent, sincerity, and professionalism are unsurpassed. I promise you will not be disappointed.

WeddingReviewed on May 17, 2008From Asheville, NC

We could not have been more happy with Lauren & the band!! In the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, Lauren was very helpful and communicative about our vision for the wedding. At the wedding reception, she and the band were wonderful! Everyone was dancing by the end of the night, and all were asking me how I found them! Thanks Lauren & the Velvetones for everything!!
