Wedding (Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach)

“To me a live band was an essential ingredient of a great party. I have been to weddings where a DJ stood in the corner and lights flashed but a live band really adds atmosphere to an event. Especially a wedding reception.

Because our wedding reception was about 10,000 miles from our house, the process of selecting a local band and auditioning them was impossible. Wade was quick to respond to my many, many questions and took the process from impossible to done in no time. A fair rate (compared to others in the area) and even the promise to learn a few country songs for us meant that I knew I had found the band for our reception.

The evening was a great success. The band was there on time, all set up, without us having to help co-ordinate. They let us use their equipment for speeches and the songs they played were exactly what we had hoped for. They started the evening off with a few classics and songs that my Mom even said “oh my, I’m singing along!!” which got the older folks dancing. Then as the night wore on and the drinks flowed they switched gears and kept the dance floor hopping all night long.

Other than one of the girls beating herself to a bruise with a tambourine and a couple of the gents embarrassing themselves singing karaoke between sets, the night was one to remember and one that people still talk about more than six months on.

Thanks you fellas.”
