He was amazing!

Chris Thomas did a fantastic job playing guitar at my wedding which was in April at Old Town Manor. He had great communication leading up to the event and played songs we loved the most. I got many compliments throughout the night about his performance and how it added to my wedding and reception. I would recommend him for your event.

Couldn’t have asked for more!! Amazing!!

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have asked for better live music for my wedding at Margaritaville Beach House Key West. I chose the Live Musician DJ combo package and I am so glad I did. Chris Thomas sang, and played the guitar at my beach ceremony, and at the cocktail hour. He is extremely talented and had a lot of songs I was able to choose from. He also offered to play whatever song I wanted from the speaker in case he doesn’t know it, which is amazing. Everyone loved him and he truly made my day special. The DJ, Chris Price, did such a great job at keeping everyone entertained at the reception, played music everyone loved (and that was a hard task since we had a very mixed crowd). He followed the timeline I discussed with him prior perfectly and made sure everything runs smoothly.
You can tell they have tons of experience, were perfectly on time, easy to communicate with and very reliable. I would hire them anytime again. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing wedding band!

We got married in Key West in November 2023. We hired the Chris Thomas band to play our reception at southernmost resort. The band was incredible. They played all the music that we requested and and honestly they could not have done a better job! All of our wedding guests commented the same. This is a good band to hire!
