FRONT. OF. HOUSE. (Microphone drop.)

I can’t say enough great things about FRONT OF HOUSE! This incredible 11-member band, led by the talented David Sherman, exceeded every expectation. During the planning stages, David went above and beyond, helping us fine-tune the evening’s itinerary and carefully curating a perfect playlist based on our preferences—both songs we loved and ones we wanted to avoid.

FRONT OF HOUSE even learned a few new songs we requested, including the Father-Daughter dance, which made our celebration even more personal and special. On the day of the wedding, they brought an infectious energy and professionalism that had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Their enthusiasm was palpable, and their talent undeniable.

We especially loved their on-stage choreography—it was clear they were having as much fun as we were! Their ability to read the room and create the perfect musical vibe made our wedding reception truly unforgettable. The energy they brought was lively, joyful, and exactly what we dreamed of for our daughter's big day.

A huge thank-you to Rebecca Richey, Katherine Anderick, Bret Zweir, Curt Bley, Brian Danzy, Tom McCarthy, Josh Hettwer, Josh Jern, LeTroy Jackson, Rebecca Brown, and of course, David Sherman. You all were the heartbeat of our celebration, and we wouldn’t dream of hosting a wedding without you!

Best vendor decision ever!!

A big 'thank you' to you to Indigo for such an incredible night! There was a theme among our wedding guests' compliments we received about the day, and Indigo was by far a highlight!

I can confidently say booking you all for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We said we wanted to throw a party and have everyone talking about the entertainment, and that is exactly what happened!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Indigo - Amazing Band!

Oh what a night! Indigo is amazing! Our wedding guests were so impressed with them - from the jazz trio during dinner to the high energy music that kept everyone on the dance floor. Kendall knows how to start a party and keep it going until the end of the evening! Their range of music and ability to play to our guests was so impressive. We are so glad that we decided to select the 11 piece band - the horn section was fantastic! And then they ended the evening with a private dance for the bride and groom that was so special. They are definitely a five star band! A big thanks to Kendall and Indigo for a very special evening!
