Our guests say "Best Wedding Band Ever"
Our guests said our wedding was the most fun they've ever been to, and we know it wasn't because of the cash bar. Pay the Reckoning brought even the Presbyterians out on the contra dance floor, no sauced conga line needed. Your friend's ex's cousin who DJs on the weekends will NOT bring the infectious energy of Pay the Reckonings' jigs and reels --- there's a reason these tunes are Euro dance hits for 300 years running. This band also sets the stage for a lovely ceremony too --- move over Pachelbel and Christina Perri. Foreboding name aside, an absolute pleasure to work with! If you want to have a wedding soundtrack beyond the tried and typical, look no further.
