Book Into The Night Immediately!

We first heard Into The Night play at my sister-in-law's wedding in 2018, and we knew immediately we needed to book them! Sal and his team at CCE were responsive and gracious even through a pandemic postponement. The night of our wedding in June 2021, the entire dance floor was packed, and every guest commented on what an amazing band we had! Definitely book them for your wedding!

The band "Into the Night" was fantastic! The band successfully got people out of their seats and onto the dance floor with wonderful upbeat music that kept the party going all night. The band interacted with the guests having them sing parts of songs into the microphone and made the crowd excited to be out on the dance floor. Many people at the wedding were asking for their name and said they were fantastic. They kept my party moving and everyone enjoyed them. I would highly recommend this band for any event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Each facet of the service benefits from years of experience and each detail that makes for a truly perfect wedding has been thought through and mastered by each person making the music happen. CCE works with experienced, professional musicians who care about the details that make your event memorable. I strongly suggest consulting CCE when considering live music for any event - they have the know how and the experience to do it right.
