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!

Best Band EVER!!!

We hired Richard Bascomb & Phase One through Craig Scott Entertainment for our wedding band, and we could not have picked anyone better to perform on our wedding day!

Before our wedding day, Rich took the time to truly understand the vibe we wanted for our wedding to ensure that our vision would come to life. Whether it was song requests, the style of music we wanted played at specific times, special dances at specific times, a traditional request, or a non-traditional request, Rich made sure to take note of every little detail so the band was prepared. Something special about Richard Bascomb & Phase One is that they do not have one set way of doing things – they are very accommodating to your unique vision, and they try their absolute best to fulfill as many of your requests as possible.

During the wedding reception, and even weeks after, our guests (and us) could not stop talking about how incredible the band was. Their talent, cohesiveness, and their ability to sing such a wide variety of song genres is remarkable. Richard Bascomb & Phase One managed to get every guest on the dance floor, and the band was in with the crowd dancing, singing, and creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. The entire wedding reception went flawlessly, and that is all thanks to Rich being extremely organized and the band's obvious preparation for the event.

We put our full trust into Richard Bascomb & Phase One to play a huge part in our wedding day, and they went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We cannot put into words how incredible they are. So, if you are looking for a top-notch wedding band, Richard Bascomb & Phase One is the way to go – you will not be disappointed!

Rich Bascomb & Phase One- 10/10!!

Rich Bascomb & Phase One were the highlight of our wedding- months later guests are still raving about the music! They went above and beyond to work with us and get the details right, from the moment we first contacted them through the end of our reception. We hired them for both the reception as well as our ceremony music (a brass quintet), and additionally had an Italian language singer for the reception. The band brought a fantastic energy to the dance floor. We couldn’t have been happier with how the music turned out. We would recommend Rich and his band to anyone who wants a stellar wedding with music so great you’ll have trouble getting guests off the dance floor!

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
