    I can honestly say that having Entourage as our wedding band was probably one of the best decisions I made throughout my year of wedding planning. Three months after our wedding and our guests are still commenting on how amazing our band and music was! From the start, Rasheeda was the best to work with, she quickly responded to all of my questions and was always a pleasure to communicate with. They bring a level of energy to the dance floor that still makes me tired just thinking about. The dance floor was pretty much packed the entire night and it was truly just a FUN night. If you want to bring your event to the next level, don't hesitate in booking Entourage, you are not going to find a better band for the value on Long Island and they are unforgettable!

    These guys (Entourage) were absolutely amazing. We were married Judy 8th over at Land's End in Sayville (best venue ever btw)! The band absolutely rocked. I dealt almost exclusively with the band's leader Rasheeda who was able to accommodate all of our requests including the singing of the national anthem before the color guard and presenting of the flag. Rasheeda was always prompt and courteous in responding to my emails and requests. Everyone was been raving about the band since the wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night and they read the crowd perfectly. We had guests of all ages and everyone absolutely loved Entourage. Don't miss out on these guys! Book them now!

    Stop looking for any other band. These guys are the absolute best. The talent of the musicians is outstanding, and Rasheeda's voice is amazing. They played at my daughter's wedding at the Bourne Mansion, and the dance floor was full all night long. They played softly during meals so we could all speak to each other, and when dancing, they chose great songs that everybody loved. At the end of the night, the crowd would not let them go and demanded an encore! They agreed and ended a fantastic night with "Shut up and dance with me". Our guests raved about the band for days afterward!

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    Hi Peter! Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! What a great night we had with everyone! Thanks again! Rasheeda

    I don't even know where to begin! Entourage is so incredible and made our wedding on July 17th the best night of our lives. Every single person told us how amazing our band was throughout the entire night!! The dance floor was full all night long, and Entourage blew my husband and I away with their versatility and incredible talent. They seamlessly played a variety of old, new, dance, and Italian songs (as requested)! Rasheeda, Eric, Michael, and the rest of the band are amazing people with wonderful talent!! We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone we know!

    We booked Entourage Band for our wedding at Bridgeview Yacht Club and it was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was. They were extremely easy to work with, learned the songs we requested, and made sure to play a huge variety of music. I would definitely recommend this band

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    Hi Lauren!! Thank you so much for a wonderful review. I do have to say that your wedding was a BLAST!! The band was actually talking about it weeks afterwards!

    Decadia was amazing!!!! Everyone is raving about how great they were. They learned our wedding song (a country song totally out of their typical genre) and played it beautifully. They kept the dance floor packed. Band members are so friendly! We were so happy with our choice!!

    Entourage performed at my daughter's wedding on August 16th. From the moment Rasheeda told us the order of entry into the reception to the end of the evening we were excellent hands. The dance was hopping from the moment we walked in to the final farewells. A week later and still getting compliments from our guest about the band.

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We were so happy to be a part of your daughter's special day!

    Entourage played at my wedding on June 27, 2015. The band was AMAZING!! From the moment the reception started all my guests were on the dance floor! The only time people weren't dancing was when they were eating! All of our guests could not stop taking about the band and how great they were. Rasheeda was so incredibly nice to work with and accommodating. I wanted my brother to sing a song and he was being picky and the week before the wedding he decided on a song and Entourage made it work. Out of all of our vendors, Entourage was the best to work with and helped make our wedding so fabulous! I would definitely recommend them!

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    Katie we had a fantastic time at your wedding and can't thank you enough for letting us celebrate your special day with you! Your brother sang great! (can he come sing with us again?? :))
    Once again, thank you and please keep in touch!

    The band Élan was contracted for our wedding after we watched them play during a show case. This band was amazing at our wedding! Everyone had a great time dancing. There were certain types of music that we did not want to be played at the wedding and they really catered to our request. We could not be any happier wih the service we received.

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    Thank you so much for letting Elan be a part of your special day! We had a great time celebrating with you and your guests.

    Elan was great, everyone loved them...to the point that everyone chanted for an encore at the end of the reception! Our wedding day just wouldn't have been the same without them. From day one, they were very accommodating, and they took the time to learn songs we wanted that were not on their list (which already has a great variety on it). They even tried to get me to get up and play once they heard I used to be in a band.

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    H Anthony! Thank YOU so much for letting us be a part of your celebration. Wishing you many years of happiness!

    Elan is absolutely amazing. Everyone is so talented and friendly. I had a day wedding with an absolutely beautiful day but everyone wanted to stay inside and listen to the band! I got SO many compliments about the band after and everyone shouted for an encore. If I had any other occasion where I needed a band without a doubt it would be them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone in search of a band for their wedding. They were so reasonably priced compared to other bands and they were great! They took requests and tried their best to make sure we were around for any songs that we asked them to play. I can not say enough good things about this band and Frank Wayne Music. My first venue canceled on me and I was so scared I would lose my band if I had to change the date but Frank Wayne worked with me the best they could to make sure I could keep Elan.

    Hi Alexandra! We were so honored to be a part of your wedding! It was such a great party!

    Although it took awhile to write this review it does not take away from the fact that this band was so so amazing!!! John and I knew from the moment we went to see Entourage at a showcase we did not need to look further. they were every thing we expected and more. Our friends and family members are dancing fools and Entourage fulfilled every single persons wish. They had people up that claimed they don't even dance. Everyone keeps telling us how amazing the band was and of course we loved them. Working with Rasheeda was great. She is such a doll. She was so aware of our needs and what we wanted for our day and her guidance was professional and worked out better then we could have imagined. Thank you so much for helping in making our day wonderful and great for John and I and everyone of our guest. If you need a band that will keep your dance floor bouncing all night do not look any where else.

    Rasheeda and the other members of Entourage are absolutely amazing musicians. There was not a moment during our wedding in which the dance floor was not flooded with people dancing. I would highly recommend this band for anyone planning an event. As a matter of fact many of our guests requested the name and contact information for this band immediately following our wedding in order to book them for future events. They are a must have at your wedding!

    We used DreamKast for our recent wedding and were not disappointed!! They learned all our important entrance and first dance songs, which sounded amazing. All our guests were up and dancing the entire event. We had a twilight 2pm-7pm event and some people say the overall mood can be more low key for day events - but that was not the case at all with DreamKast. The production company Franklin Wayne was great to work with. I was able to hold my date and leave a deposit after hearing the band at one of their upcoming showcases. Of course after hearing them, we left a deposit on the spot! We liked the flexibility! Only thing I can say is that Franklin Wayne's motto is "The band you see is the band you get", however that wasn't the case for my wedding. One of the band members had an emergency and was replaced with another singer. My husband and I noticed, however no one else knew any different and the replacement singer was just as good! So, it's good to know that in the, I'm sure rare cases, where a band member can't make an event - they have more than capable replacements ready to step in! My guests had nothing but great things to say about our band choice! Highly recommend Franklin Wayne and DreamKast!!

    Absolutely incredible! It's almost 2 months later and people still talk about how amazing they are! I have no doubt in my mind that they are the best band I have ever seen! If you don't believe me, ask all 200 of my guests.

    Entourage from Franklin Wayne KILLED IT! AMAZING! Such a great group of talented musicians. They were super flexible and open to learning any songs. They rocked it all night. Everyone can't stop talking about Entourage!!

    We recently used Entourage for our wedding last month. I would recommend them without hesitation. I was more nervous that I didn't speak with them often and was using songs from an ipod, as well as them live. But the day of, they were beyond organized and had a flow of music that had my wedding up the ENTIRE night. They played international music and the exact slow songs we picked. They left me to do the minimal things required, which I loved! Our bridal party had foreign names which were pronounced perfect! I think a band and food can make a wedding and Entourage exceeded my expectations.

    The Franklin Wayne Music band "Entourage" was out of this world!!! I worked with Rasheeda, who is also the lead singer of the band, and she was so wonderful to work with (not to mention gorgeous!). This band rocked the house on my wedding day! I chose my exact playlist where I checked off every single song I wanted them to play and emailed Rasheeda to please not veer off my playlist (I was a total control freak at this point). She assured me they were going to 'read the room' to see the type of music everyone likes and to trust her. And I am so happy I trusted her and the band to do their thing because the songs I picked out were great songs but were all types of genres and wouldn't have meshed well. They are phenomenal at what they do and deserve every last cent of what they charge. My guests were so pumped up and their energy and the band's energy were so in sync. Some of my guests ran up to the band after the wedding for business cards. My friends and family still talk about the band from my wedding. All I want to say is...Entourage, you are amazing!!!!!!!!!! I've never seen my husband dance so much in my life and you made me such a happy bride! My words really can't describe how talented you are.

    Suzanne (10/26/2013)

    Hi Suzanne! Your wedding was amazing and we were so happy to have been a part of it! Thank you for choosing Entourage!! We had a great time!!! Thanks again!! Rasheeda & Entourage

    We listened to a lot of bands for our wedding but kept going back to Frank Wayne’s Dreamkast. They were amazing!!! Frank Wayne’s slogan is ‘the band you see is the band you get’… but unfortunately that was not the case for our wedding. We found out at the end of our wedding that one of our favorite band members was sick & could not preform so they sent a replacement. Although none of our guests would have known, my husband & I were very upset & knew certain songs could not be sung without the one singer. I wish Frank Wayne would have called/emailed to let us know or someone from the band should have told me prior to the wedding when I asked them during set up. Instead they told me he was on his way. For as much money we spent on this band, I would have hoped everyone was there.

    From the very first showcase, ENTOURAGE proved to be a highly versatile band. My fiancee at the time, my parents and I fell in love with their style and amazing voices and music. I had seen two other bands but nothing compared to Rasheeda, Mike and Ray and the rest of their band members. They all have fantastic personalities and really know how to move a crowd. I recommend them 100% and will always be grateful that they played at my wedding.

    Booking a wedding band was a difficult decision. My fiance and I sat through many showcases during our engagement. Entourage was the best we could find so we went ahead and booked them. The night of the wedding the band far surpassed our expectations. They truly sounded amazing and we have gotten nothing but positive reviews from our guests. The dance floor was packed the entire night and our friends and family convinced the band to play two encores. As a couple in our young 30's we wanted a band that could play all genres of music while still being able to play current popular songs. Entourage met that desire! We can't thank Rasheeda and her "entourage" enough for making our wedding a huge success.

    Franklin Wayne Music's reply:

    Diana & Matt,

    We can't thank you enough for having us perform at your wedding! We had such an awesome time with you and your guests! Wishing you the best!

    Thanks again!

    Rasheeda and the entire "Entourage" band

    We loved Dreamkast! We booked them for our wedding and were not disappointed. Our guests are still talking about the band - it was definitely one of the best parts of our wedding and they really made our party come alive. It was so fun to treat our guests to live entertainment and trust me, they were blown away by the talent of the Dreamkast band. Genessa was a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding. I would book them again and again, and highly recommend them for any event you are planning.

    After searching and checking out many bands, we choose Entourage with Franklin Wayne Music. About a year ago when my fiance and I first got engaged, we went to a wedding expo. It was then that we became familiar with Franklin Wayne's bands. At that time we saw the band Heart and Soul, and were completely blown away. The band performed, and was immediately followed by a DJ. It was this very moment that my fiance and I looked at each other and decided that live music was the ONLY way to go. Prior to attending that bridal expo, my fiance and I would have never even considered getting a wedding band (mostly because we had never seen one live), and we completely had our sights set on a DJ.

    Over the next year we attended many band showcases, through a few well known companies and none of them were able to compete with Franklin Wayne. We focused our efforts into checking out each and every one of their bands to see which would be the best fit for us and our guests. We needed a band that can do everything, flawlessly, and for us that was Entourage (their latin music sounded great!)

    Even though, our wedding is still over a year away, we are confident in our decision and cannot wait until that day comes! Dealing with them has been delightful. Each and every email and/or phone call has been responded to in a prompt manner, They have been more than accommodating! After booking them, and talking with friends I found out that a coworker of mine has used the same band and her guests are still raving about them! One thing that stuck out to us was that they were understanding to the fact that a wedding band is a big cost and held the date while we checked out other bands (other's were not so willing to do so)

    If you are looking to have something different at your wedding, and are not into the loud obnoxious DJ's, give live music a chance... you will not be disappointed!
