“Mike is a consummate professional. I originally found him off of the bash, and of course, I just decided to book him independently so that things would be easier communications wise.
I remember the first phone call that we had, I had to laugh, because as I myself and weddings And Events Violinist, he is so similar to me. He stays organized, asks all the right questions, is very good at communicating back right away, even during odd hours, and was very good at being upfront about pricing and sending over the contract in a timely manner.
He had a full song list, prepared and organized by genre, which I appreciated, and I appreciated even more that he and the band can learn any song without an extra charge even if it’s not on the list.
His suggestions and his knowledge about how the Wedding Reception is organized really helped me out, since to be honest, I was pretty clueless about when certain things like the speeches, the cake cutting, and the bouquet should be.
During the phone call with my mother, he assured her that he would help us to negotiate with our venue to get a discount on the outside entertainer fee. We were successful with this, and in that regard, I appreciate that he saved us a lot of money.
It was very clear to me from the beginning that he loves what he does, and is in it for the love of music, rather than for hearing the word, Wedding and automatically thinking how can I charge a ridiculous fee just because it’s a wedding.
For an eight piece band, they’re extremely affordable, and I love that we even had to say in what they would wear.
Overall, the flexibility, ease of communication, and attention to Details made it a really fun and stress-free process and made for a fantastic Wedding Reception.
He went above and beyond when we had to find a new Officiant at the last minute due to issues with our existing one, and found two options for us within a few minutes, we already ended up finding someone else, but the fact that he did this when I asked, even without being obligated to, shows his strength of character.
The wedding day was simply fantastic, the band had so much energy, and they even came onto the dance floor and interacted with myself and my husband, it was just that extra touch of magic, and everyone was on the dance floor at one point, they kept the energy going, and I believe they even stayed later than contracted, which was not expected, but was very sweet of them. What a fantastic group of individuals!”
