INCREDIBLE experience with Craig Scott Band!!

I cannot begin to imagine our wedding without the Craig Scott Band!!! They were simply INCREDIBLE in every way! Nick, Scott, and the team really know what they are doing and their guidance and ideas really made our wedding what it was. We chatted with several bands but after our initial call with Scott, we just knew CSB had to be it! In the months leading up to the wedding, Nick would call to check in often and was SO helpful and patient as we tried to decide on instruments/entrance songs. He was also integral in helping to develop our timeline and I am SO happy we went with his suggestions -- such as, to have our guests up and dancing before we make our entrances, invite everyone onto the dance floor directly following our first dance, etc, as their goal is to keep the energy UP and it is exactly what they achieved! I was a bit hesitant to have the band learn our first dance song, but Nick assured me they could do it and they seriously knocked it out of the park, even accommodating a 'dress rehearsal' a few minutes before the reception started. They also mashed together a few songs for our father/daughter dance -- we could not have made it more complicated for them and it was seriously perfect, down to every beat -- they are really just so impressive! We had a brunch the morning after our wedding and everyone could not stop talking about the band!! Choosing Craig Scott Band was easily the best decision we could have made for our wedding and I could not recommend them more!

We used Matthew Friedman & Uptown Sounds for our October 10, 2015 wedding and could't have made a better choice. The team at Craig Scott Entertainment made the process absolutely seamless from start to finish. A week later, we're still receiving complements from friends and family that it's the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. Matthew Friedman and his band had people dancing from the minute they entered the room until our last song. We have friends calling for information wanting to lock the band up for their upcoming weddings. The professionalism of both the band and Craig Scott made planning a breeze and was the staple in a perfect night all around.

COVID postponement!

With the current situation, and having to postpone my daughter’s wedding until next year, Kathy has been nothing but calm and reassuring through all my frantic emails. Worked with me as I tried to find dates and was so happy when I found out Craig Scott entertainment was available and I could seamlessly update my contract.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Craig Scott Entertainment is by far the best in the business! Their musicians/DJ's/MC's are all well-trained professionals who orchestrate a range of pop favorites to classical ballads. They work well with the bride, groom & their parents to combine musical genres that please the masses. They understand the importance of reading a crowd & adjusting to satisfy their client. They're high energy yet unobtrusive. They're classy/professional vibe keeps the B/G center stage. I have worked with CSE for years & the feedback is always outstanding. I highly recommend Craig Scott Entertainment. Christine Figliuolo Creations By Christine Events
