Awesome experience!! Absolutely recommend!

I cannot give Norm and the Crown Players enough praise! We hired them as our ceremony musicians for our wedding on 12/30/23. Norm was incredibly communicative, kind, and helpful from Day 1, despite a unique booking circumstance. We exchanged emails and phone calls to make sure they knew exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. They were incredibly flexible to all of our music requests. The guests continue to rave about how wonderful they were. I would recommend Crown Players over and over again!!

Crown Players, take the crown

Crown Players deserve more than just 5 stars, they break the scale! Despite the miscommunication from the venue, they were able to set up and play. They're extremely friendly, too. Multiple guests commented that favorite songs were renditioned more beautifully than they could imagine by the Crown Players, from rock songs like Sweet Child of Mine to classics like What a Wonderful World. It was the season so they accommodated with Christmas songs, too. We do not think their endurance and skillful playing can be matched.
