I cannot say enough about how amazing this band was on my wedding day! They truly made my reception an event to remember. A saxophonist played during the cocktail hour. They played the perfect tempo of music during dinner, and I got so many compliments from my guests...they even got everyone off their feet when dinner was over, and let one of my close friends get on the mic to get the party started! Howard Franklin, the band leader was the ultimate professional, and very responsive to any and every question I had for him along the way. I booked the band about 10 months out from the wedding and probably called/emailed him the entire time leading up to the day of and he was always curteous and open to my suggestions.

All in all, I'd say the band was one of the best expenses I'm glad I invested in on my wedding day. They were just amazing.

Mr. Franklin made sure that our day was just the way we wanted. They went above and beyond by learning a song they'd never played to ensure that our wedding was the most moving and memorable wedding that our friends and family have ever attended. I would highly recommend!

Howard was great to work with. He and his band members were very professional. To top it off they sound great! I have used them before for a number of events and I will use them again.
