    Cafe wha? Was incredible!

    Cafe Wha? Band was amazing! They have the most talented musicians and singers. The energy they brought to our wedding was incredible. Everyone was up dancing the entire night. In addition, the music for the ceremony and the cocktail hour was perfect too. They are so professional and easy to deal work with. There is not one person who I have spoken to since the wedding who has not commented on how great the band was. I would hire them again in a minute!

    Epic party!

    Wow. Mike our bandleader and the entire cafe wha band were absolutely amazing at our wedding. We had a particular vibe we were looking for and both our bandleader Mike and director of musical operations Hap not only listened to us but also exceeded our expectations on delivery. They are amazingly talented and brought tremendous energy - engaging with the crowd, passing off the mic to the bride and groom, etc. The energy was infectious and the night was magical thanks to them!
