A good live band will always get feet on the dance floor. A great live band can etch the spirit of an event into the memory of guests long after the final song. That’s exactly where 10 Spot makes its mark. Hailing from Virginia Beach, VA, 10 Spot is a party band whose primary goal is to create fun and memorable moments at every event. From Motown to classic soul, rock’n’roll to contemporary party hits, this band entertains audiences of all music tastes and has a remarkable ability to connect at an individual level with every single guest. Few bands can effortlessly groove an R&B classic like Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together”, then heat up the party with hip-hop hit like Flo-Rida’s “Good Feeling”, and close with Journey’s epic “Don’t Stop Believing”, all in the course of one flawlessly-composed set. From a slow dance to a fist-pumping jam, 10 Spot’s funky and fresh mix will make guests smile… and sweat. 10 Spot is led by industry veterans Gray Finnegan and Jon Burford. Gray has experience in a variety of bands ranging from jazz combos to 80’s rock bands, while Jon brings to the band a James Brown-type vocal energy, and a Duane Allman-meets-Prince guitar versatility. Jon is a polished showman—when he steps into the crowd and launches into a guitar solo, he helps kick the party to a whole new level. A true family band, 10 Spot’s lineup also features a second generation of Burford talent, as Jon is joined by his daughter Jacqueline on vocals and his son Phil on drums. This special family bond, combined with keyboardist and founding member Glenn Carver and long-time bassist John Stratford, gives 10 Spot a chemistry and authenticity that few bands can offer. Since 2002, 10 Spot has played a busy schedule of parties, weddings and special events that rivals the region’s most prolific bands. Meticulously rehearsing a constantly-expanding repertoire that incorporates both the newest hits along with the most beloved and respected songs in popular music, 10 Spot’s planning and attention to detail ultimately pays off in an unforgettable event.

You guys were awesome. The band easily beat my expectations and the compliments were all over from my friends. The dance floor was packed - that's how you know the crowd likes the band and is boozing! You guys absolutely killed it. The band read the crowd, they knew to keep it fast and lively with a younger (20s) wedding crowd / a bunch of my fraternity brothers there. They were just awesome! We already got you guys more business :) One of Krista's bridesmaids booked/is booking 10 Spot for her wedding next year. I think she might have already done it! Great job! Austin

They were absolutely fantastic. The dance floor was packed for 3 hours with dancing to all our favorite songs. The band played a variety of excellent oldies and soft music during the dinner hour and then went strong afterwards in that I don't think anyone left the dance floor. They made the evening so much fun. The band was professional, kind and considerate to all request and even played one last song after the time they were to finish at the request of the crowd!! Prior to the wedding Gray contacted me to go over the details of the evening which I thought was so nice. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet each band member individually but I was able to say "Thank you" at the end of the evening. If you would extend an additional 'Thank you' for me and express our gratitude for making my daughter's wedding such a great success! I will forward your email to Keri and David to add any additional comments they may have. I will also leave my comments on how awesome it was to work with Sam Hill on The Knot!! You made it very easy, affordable and a great success! Thank you again, Kimberley McAfee

5-star review posted on The Knot on 8/27/19: "We had "10 Spot" for our wedding and they were great! So kind. All of our guests commented on how much fun they had dancing, and the band's range of different genres was really incredible. They also learned 2 new songs for us (one for our first dance and one for the father-daughter dance) and the lead vocalist especially slayed our first dance. Finally, they sang Happy Birthday to my cousin who was turning 6 on the same day as our wedding, which was very nice of them!" Nora, bride Aug 10, 2019 wedding

They were super easy to work with, learned a couple songs for us and even let my husband play the drums for a song. Loved them! Their easy going attitudes and fun loving on stage presence was contagious. The dance floor was never quiet. We had guests asking for their contact info for future events. Please give our thanks to Gray and the whole 10 Spot crew! You guys are the best!!! Maggie and David

From: Lindsay Rupert Date: Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 10:54 AM Subject: Re: 10 Spot To: Mike Miglino Hi Mike, Thank you for the kind email and best wishes! I will certainly give you some feedback on our entire experience. From working with you through Sam Hill during the hiring and booking process to working with the Band personally, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about you all. You were so helpful in answering my millions of questions at the start of things and did a great job guiding me to the right band for our tastes. Everything from the booking process and final wrap up was supremely easy and simple to follow what my responsibilities were. Thank you for taking what could be a major headache to figure out and making it uncomplicated. I could rest easy knowing all the details were taken care of. Gray and the entire 10 Spot Band were PHENOMENAL! Professional, kind, and courteous, every one of the band members stopped to say a personal congratulations and thank you for having us to myself, my husband (weird!) and my parents. They were EXACTLY what we wanted and absolutely made our wedding reception one to remember. The music was ON POINT and they were so fun, interacted with our crowd, and truly made the night. Gray was very easy to get a hold of, listened to my requests, and confirmed any details with me that made me feel 100% confident and unworried about what they were handling. You definitely have my recommendation and will hopefully have another party to plan sometime in the future that we'll need to book a band again. Thank you so much!!! Lindsay

The music playing during dinner was spot on…with just the right tempo and volume. When I saw people getting up during dinner to dance, I knew we had the right band, because I knew what was coming during the next set UPTOWN FUNK and the flash mob from the servers and staff was a huge hit! Then the party really began. The dance floor was full the entire night. Please pass on my gratitude to the band. They were everything we were hoping for…and more! All the best Sharyn O’Hare
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Robert Date: Tue, Nov 6, 2018 at 12:29 PM Subject: Re: 10 Spot To: Andrew @ Sam Hill Entertainment Andrew, We were thrilled with the band! The entire experience with your agency and the band was stress free. The booking process was efficient and communication was excellent. Gray was cooperative and we worked well together. I appreciated your allowing me to hire the extra sax player locally which pleased my wife. We stressed that we had a dancing crowd and they had a packed dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG! Seriously. They were great. Having led a band of my own for so many years, I particularly appreciated Gray's handling of the timing. As usual, dinner ran long so by the time the band started the main dance set, it wasn't long before cake cutting. To their credit, instead of taking an untimely break that would have killed the momentum, the band stayed on stage for the cutting then continued without a break until the end. I had that same mindset when I played - forget what the contract entitles, you do what serves the party best. Kudos to him and the band! We had numerous compliments on the band and I thank you for everything! Best, RJ

It's one thing to have a great band (most are great, performance-wise, right?!), but these guys could follow a TIMELINE without INSTRUCTION! *PRAISE HANDS* :) I'm not kidding - that was what I was most impressed by! They were SO professional, kind and just....all-around 10's from me. I will refer them forever. Their kick-butt music was a plus, as well! lol but from a planner's perspective - just a pleasure.

The band was very easy to work with (Gray Finnegan was our main contact) before the wedding. They accommodated us and our venue very easily. In addition, the set list that they played was perfect. There was rarely a moment when the dance floor wasn't jammed with people. This may count as the second time dealing with Sam Hill... My brother Alex Corini booked another one of your bands for his wedding this past April. All of us could not be more pleased. Thank you so much for following up and doing great work. Cameron Corini

They seriously had the dance floor going all night long and I received many compliments on their performance throughout the night and after the wedding. They are incredible singers and musicians and I was wowed by their ability to choose the best songs for each part of the evening with no input from myself. Even during their breaks, they played recorded songs that were perfect for keeping the party going. Our wedding seriously would not have been as fun without them! I would recommend them a million times over for any wedding or other event. In addition, Gray was a pleasure to work and communicate with. He was flexible, amendable, and incorporated several changes to our order of events in the days leading up to the wedding. He was an amazing announcer throughout the evening and made the process so easy for us! We had a very narrow time frame between the ceremony and reception, and 10 Spot was able to make it work. I have already passed along Sam Hill Entertainment to my engaged friends and will continue to do so! Big thanks to you and your team for helping us nab a dream band for our special day! Best, Debbie

It was a fabulous night and would have been fun, under any circumstances, but you made it just awesome. I cannot possibly recall the number of people who came up to me in the days following the party and remarked about how “great the band was.” Seriously. So, if you ever need a recommendation, any member of my family would be happy to give it. All the best, Alex

Everything went so well and our wedding day was a blast! We loved working with Gray and 10 Spot. Gray was so easy to work with. He reached out prior to the event to get information on our timeline, what kind of music we were looking for, introductions information, etc. We spoke on the phone a few weeks before the wedding to run through all the information and he provided great recommendations. The day of everything ran smoothly and the band did an awesome job. The music was fun dancing music which is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was out on the dance floor and we didn't want the party to end. Our guests definitely love to dance! Thank you so much for all of your help with booking 10 Spot and making sure everything ran smoothly for our event.

Thanks so much for guiding us to them. All went perfect and they even performed 10 extra pieces. Some of their greatest effort occurred during dinner which was only enjoyed by the tables nearby so we would reshuffle this with their next visit. All of their team were excellent singers and musicians and the woman performer was so energetic with excellent choreography as well as a great voice. Thanks again Mike and I am thinking we should move forward earlier this year once we pick our date. Best always, Jerry

I had so many people come up to me and compliment us on the band. I have been to weddings where the band made it about them, not the dance party. We don’t enjoy that. 10 Spot was able to judge the crowd, build the tempo, play great oldies as well as new stuff and the dance floor was always full. I just wished we'd had a bigger dance floor. My best friend from NYC, who just had us up for his daughter’s wedding in Sept. and who is a big music fan, was totally taken aback by how great the band was and kept complimenting me on our hiring them. I told them personally before they left and will tell you that I would recommend 10 Spot for any wedding or special occasion. Ann even said she regretted not having another event for which we could hire them in the future. Thanks for getting us such fine music for our event. You did very well. EE

From: Schwieger, Terry R Date: Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 8:42 AM Subject: RE: 10 Spot band follow up To: Andy Jaspen Andy, 10 Spot really hit it out of the park during the reception. They had everyone from the 20-somethings to a couple of 80+ year olds tearing up the dance floor. Their choice of music, from the “dinner tunes” to when they really got cranked up was outstanding. The dance floor was always packed and at the end the crowd was chanting “10 more songs!” They were truly exceptional in everyway. After things wound down, John from the band spoke with both Charlie and me and told us both how much they enjoyed playing the event. John said the band enjoyed themselves so much it was the kind of gig they would have played for free. He also took the time to tell me that he thought Charlie was a great young man and true gentleman which he certainly didn’t have to do. I would strongly recommend 10 Spot for any event and would gladly provide them a recommendation. Terry Schwieger

The entire weekend was amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for your recommendation on 10 Spot. The band rocked it - they played great dance music and the female vocal they added was extremely talented. They were one of the big highlights of the night, for sure. Ending the night with AC/DC "You shook me all night long" was one of the big highlights of the night. Couldn't have asked for a better band on our big day. Gray was really easy to work with and were both very accommodating. Thanks again!! Scott

From: Justin Wiesert Subject: Re: Saturday 18th wedding Date: November 11, 2014 4:46:15 PM EST To: Gray Finnegan of 10 Spot Gray, Not knowing anything about a wedding or where to start, my bride and I chose to book 10 Spot. Music is a hobby of mine and has been from boyhood so I was certainly a critical client. We had a few logistic issues at my wedding, it was held at a private residence and it was outdoors, new construction to boot. I let Gray know and he was more than willing to listen and even suggest solutions. Gray had answers to questions I didn't even know I had. I even gave Gray and his crew the father daughter dance song just hours before the wedding and he made it happen. Thanks! Gray and his guys performed like true musicians and I say this having logged hundreds of live shows in my time. We had a slight problem with a breaker at the house but Gray and his crew were so strong, during ‘Don't Stop Believin’ by Journey the power cut, the crowd was singing the chorus on the dance floor and when the power came back on the band picked up right in sync with the crowd’s chorus, like I said, true musicians and very impressive. Also, the lead guitar player didn't miss a note during ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ which says a lot. Thank you Gray and 10 Spot for making our wedding better than we expected. Thanks for everything!!

Gray was great with communication and following my instructions and timeline and they were beyond cooperative with equipment set-up. The family loved them and one of the guests (I learned this yesterday when talking to the bride’s mother) said there were moments when she turned to see if the band was actually playing - she thought she was hearing a cd or recording of the song instead of the band - they were so good. And the song they learned sounded better than the artist that recorded it, in my opinion. They were a pleasure. Bravo to 10 SPOT! Thanks for asking! I had already called Gray to be sure they got home safely and thank him for everything. I am most happy to report all positive feedback! Patti Davis

You guys were flexible and worked with us early on when we had some technical issues and just made everything easy. Thank you. 10 Spot was great. They were also easy to work with. More so, though, they were just really good. Everyone I have spoken with—younger and older-- has immediately mentioned how good the band was and what a good time they had as a result. I really think it was a huge part of our wedding being a success. They also learned two songs for us—both our first dance song and one for my dance with my Mother. We were 100% expecting the first dance song to be played on a CD, but when we heard them rehearsing it, it was really cool. Plus they sounded great. It was a really, really good experience all around. I would not hesitate to recommend both Sam Hill and 10 Spot to anyone I know looking for a live band. Thanks, Andrew! Spencer Bolander

The only let-down from our guests was that they weren't coming to our after party which was a rumor someone started, ha! Their music selection was a perfect blend of oldies and modern and their finale with "Shout" was the icing on the cake.

We could not have been happier with the band. They are great musicians and total professionals. They had the dance floor jam packed from the start of the reception. Laura and I particularly like how the energy levels built up over the course of the evening. They played a lot of songs early in the set that really encouraged some of our older guests out on the dance floor (but the songs were really fun ones, so everybody was up on their feet). The songs got faster/livelier/newer over the course of the evening and everyone just continued to dance the night away. It was awesome. Please pass along our sincere thanks and appreciation to the guys! A couple of highlights for me: My 76 year-old dad being twirled around the dance floor by this beautiful young French woman (wife of friend). My dad said he thought he might have a heart attack, but at least he'd die with a smile on his face! I also got to dance with Laura's 93 year-old grandmother, which was incredible because we thought she might not even be able to make the wedding due to age/declining health. But she was on that dance floor for a good while! Thanks again for all your help in arranging the band. They were perfect for the occasion and all of our friends have given similar feedback about how great they were. If ever we are throwing a party with a band, we would definitely come back to Sam Hill and 10 SPOT would be at the top of the list. I do not know anyone getting married in the near future, but if and when I hear such plans, I'll definitely recommend they check you out. Cheers, Brian

We have spoken with at least 10 friends since the wedding who all loved the music choices, the band's stage presence/mood, and their willingness to tolerate my stupidity on the microphone (you'll have to ask the band for the details). In all seriousness they conducted themselves in a highly professional manner, were perfectly on time, and were super flexible the night of in terms of our on the spot special requests. Please send them our thanks and gratitude for a job very well done. Best, Patrick

Super talented, incredibly versatile, and no room to spare on the dance floor! Their version of our first dance song, Sea of Love, was really one of the best I've hears, if not the best! In addition, Gray was great about helping me wrangle the crowd--for special photos, to cake cutting, etc.--super flexible and on the ball. Thank you so much for working with us! Jordan

I don't think I missed one song :) As the band was one of the most important details of our wedding we were definitely thrilled that we decided on 10 Spot. Wish we could do it all over again!

I think the thing that was probably most surprising is the serious RANGE they had - from a decades perspective, from the multitude of genres covered... these guys are so great. I have never had so much fun dancing... in fact, I think I blew off talking to my guests because the band was so fun. Thanks for your help! Kyle

I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Gray was very accommodating and easy to work with through the whole planning process. I am very detail oriented and he was patient with all of my questions. He made me feel confident that everything would go as planned and that I would have nothing to do the day of. When I arrived at Veritas, the band was set up and ready to go. They were all very friendly and professional. Most importantly, their music was amazing! There were people on the dance floor from the time they started playing until the end of the night. In fact, we saw guests that typically don't dance having the time of their lives dancing. As a bride and groom, it is very rewarding to look around and see that all of your guests are simply having a great time. Besides the fun crowd, I would attribute a lot of this in our case to 10 Spot and their music. We greatly appreciate all of your help in finding us a band that suited our personalities and we couldn't have been more pleased with 10 Spot. Thanks for your contribution to our special day - it was truly amazing! Brooke Harris

Here are a few of my thoughts! Band was very responsive before hand- Gray was the contact and he was very good, thorough, responsive, etc Payment was easy They were super nice and fun the day of Did an EXCELLENT job with introductions. We chose a kind of different song to play during our introductions (Dallas Mavericks intro tune, because we live in Dallas and they won the NBA last year!) and they downloaded it on iTunes, and believe me I was SO excited when I heard it start for introductions. I believe Gray was the one that did all the names and he got them all correct. Anyway, they had an AMAZING presence with doing all the "MC"-ing and were so so so so much better than a DJ I requested 2 songs and they played them both, live, and they were amazing!!! "Party Rock" by LMFAO (fairly new song so I'm impressed they knew it!) and "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. These were two big highlights. They did a great job, basically, they kept the dance floor packed and I felt like they played a lot of songs. They were amazing. I almost chose "Another Level" because I had heard them play at a friends wedding, but I am SO glad I chose 10 spot. I can't say enough great things about them, so feel free to send anyone my name and email if they are debating using them. I think everything went well with the venue coordinating with them- Veritas staff loves having them play there, so it all worked out flawlessly, in my opinion! Let me know if you have any other specific questions or if there is anywhere else I can go to rate/ recommend them! Thanks!!! Lauren

We had an amazing time at the wedding and reception -- the honeymoon was pretty awesome as well. 10 Spot was, in one word, perfect. No less than a dozen people came up to my wife and I after the wedding and told us how incredible the band was. Most important to us, they played straight through the last hour and a half of the wedding (which we requested), so Ashley and I were able to dance a ton. This meant a lot to us that they would stick to the schedule we had proposed. Other than that, their song choices were outstanding, and they interacted with everyone in a courteous and energetic way. We wouldn't have changed anything about their performance. I will absolutely recommend Sam Hill and 10 Spot to all of my friends. I'm certain that many will be asking about the band at our wedding in the future, so I'll be sure to pass on the good word. Thanks again for all of your help and advice. Take care and hope you're doin' well. Best, Scott and Ashley Kelly

We gave them last minute special request songs that they performed excellently. Also, they worked with our time schedule to maximize play time. Everyone in the band was extremely professional. We had a smaller wedding - approx 98 people including us and our bridal party. Our concern going in was that people would be too reserved to dance and our wedding would be boring. 10 Spot made our wedding a huge success. There were a few times - especially towards the end of the night - that I looked out and not a single person was sitting down - everyone was on the dance floor. My in-laws were breaking it down with my parents to OutKast! Even our wedding coordinator at the venue was impressed! They did a phenomenal job of gauging the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time. Everyone has had only the greatest things to say about the band. I can honestly say that 10 Spot made our wedding reception a success. It was a pleasure to work with them - especially Gray, who really went out of his way to make sure that we were happy before the reception in terms of the timing, etc. and during the reception. I will highly recommend 10 Spot to friends and family. My parents even plan to see them occasionally, as they live in Virginia Beach. Thanks again, - Scott Wagner

Even the recorded music that they played on their short breaks was so good people kept on dancing! It was like having a band and a DJ! The music never stopped. Gray Finnegan was so nice to work with, answering all questions and emails promptly. He also did a fabulous job as an MC, announcing the wedding party and all other items throughout the night. You know a band has done a great job when at the end of the evening and last song the guests start chanting, "One more song, one more song!" Much to everyone's delight they did play "one more song!"

10 Spot: Thanks guys for being a part of the best wedding our family has had over the past 40 years. This includes family and friends weddings dating back to 1970 back in New York. Our family has gotten many compliments not only on the House Mountain Lodge but also the 10 Spot band. The dance music was great and your group entertaining.

I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the songs they played, their interaction with the crowd, the instrumental abilities of the guitarist and bassist, etc. I had a few of my most musically savvy (and musically picky/snobby) friends tell me how good the guitarist was and that they found themselves just watching him play. We definitely had a good crowd at the front of the dance floor the entire night and it was in large part thanks to the band. Erin and I actually were forced to leave during the end of the night by the wedding coordinator so they could prepare for our "exit" because we didn't want to leave the dance floor. I think they had just gotten done playing Billy Jean and were starting Sweet Child of Mine. Erin's parents also received numerous compliments on the band.

We would love to have them back again. We were thinking about having an adult prom in the spring sometime... they would be perfect for it. Thanks again for everything!!

By the official start time on the big day we had over two feet of snow, the most in half a century before Christmas in Roanoke. About half of the guests had cancelled, the ceremony had to been moved to the hotel at a later time, and the rehearsal had been canned. At some point, the hotel began urging us to arrange for their in-house DJ to take over the music duties because there was “no way” the band could make it. It’s a good thing we didn’t listen. We picked the 10 spot because we knew what we were getting. Several friends had seen them perform at an earlier wedding and they came highly recommended. What we didn’t expect however was the tremendous dedication they showed in making it to Roanoke from Va Beach (~300 mi) in the worst snow storm anyone can remember. Our party was extra special. We had the right mix of people there, all dedicated, excited about being snowed in together, and ready to party after a day of making last minute adjustments. Gray and the gang hit the ground right on time (amazingly) to an already filled dance floor (waiting with anticipation) and didn’t let up for three hours. In the end we were all drenched with sweat, ears ringing, and still wanting more. Maybe it was the craziness of the day but several guests have gone so far as to say that it was the best reception that they have ever been to. Any band that travels through that mess (for who knows how many hours total) to deliver such a quality show gets the highest recommendation we can give.... to anyone. -Dave and Sara Epperly

The band was perfect as always. The dance floor stayed full all night and the music was top notch. I have known the band for about twelve years now and knew it would be a first class show. They are a great bunch of guys, that I can call friends. Will be booking them again in the near future. Thank's, Jeff

Charlie, 10 Spot was a fantastic band - the music was great and we received a ton of positive feedback from everyone that attended. They were easy to work with and very professional. Once our wedding day arrived, it was seamless and their performance heightened our experience. Also, one of the guests at our wedding asked for some information on the band for a future wedding - we’ve passed along your information to make sure you get the credit if they decide to go in that direction.

They seemed to feed off the energy of the crowd. We even got them to play a short encore. The variety of the music they play is really fun. You never know what they are going to play next. They were gracious wrt to taking requests and even learned a new song for our first dance. Gray is a great band leader. I could not recommend them more highly. 5 stars! I will certainly refer Sam Hill and/or 10 Spot to friends looking for a band. Feel free to reply if you'd like any other information. Cheers, Matt

Gray was a pleasure to work with and attentive to detail while putting me at ease. The band members were friendly and fun. The music was one of my favorite parts of our night and I had numerous comments from guests about how great they were. The band could not have been more "Spot" on for us. I will certainly keep them in mind for other events and pass their name along as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for all of your assisstance. Take care, Lisa Edwards-Soblotne

The dance floor was full all night long and everyone loved them. Some of our guests remarked that they'd heard larger bands that weren't as good or as engaging. They appeal to a wide age range, even the groom's 81 year-old grandmother danced and everyone had a great time. Again, many thanks to you and 10 Spot. Because of you, our daughter's wedding reception was the celebration she'd dreamed of! Most sincerely, Kaye Rhodes

There were 90% of young people and all were dancing all night. The music, sound and the guys were the highlight of the wedding. And one of Davy’s friends got to sing 2 songs with them. Davy even played drums!!! He actually wanted a band just so he can play drums but we didn’t plan on doing it at all. Everyone was so excited seeing Davy playing with the band. We paid them more to stay and play little longer. We couldn’t ask for better band and better day. The songs were just perfect (since I picked most of them). They announced everything just like agreed and hope that they enjoyed the wedding as much as us and everybody. We would definitely pass along only the best information about sam hill and 10 Spot. Thanks so much for all your help! Ivana Nichols

From: Holly Braly Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 2:18 PM To: Andy Jaspen @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: RE: 10 Spot at Lahucka-Nichols Wedding Hi Andy, 10 Spot was great. Everyone had a great time and the mother of the groom ended up paying for an extra half hour because people wouldn't stop dancing! The band was very accommodating. The groom is an amateur drummer and when one of the groomsmen told the band leader he brought him on stage to play a song. Everyone loved it and it was very nice of them to personalize it like that. They played the perfect songs for the age group of attendees as well (mostly late twenties) -- especially towards the end of the night. Earlier when the older crowd was still there, they made sure to play songs that would appeal more to them so it really was a great fit. Thanks so much, I'll definitely keep you guys in mind for future events as I've always been pleased with your bands. Thanks, Holly

Again, they were very easy to work with and were set up by the time the guests arrived at 7PM from the ceremony. They started playing around 9:15 or 9:30 and played until almost 1:00AM. We were going to end the event at midnight, but decided to extend it the day of the event to 1:00AM. They were very accomodating to this change.
