Amazing - deserve way more than 5 stars

We hired the 3 piece band for our small wedding in October, and I cannot thank and praise Gary and the band enough. Super knowledgeable about the dances, picked a great set for us making use of our small space, and had everyone up dancing and enjoying.

I wasn't sure if having a band would be too much as we only had 40 people (including) us but it was one of the best decisions we made. Truly made the night!

Could not recommend these guys enough, thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable and fun.
