Couldn't Recommend Enough!!!

We could not be happier with our experience with Marlon and the Shakes for our wedding! They were so easy to work with and a highlight for us and all of our guests. They played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and everything was wonderful. Our reception was on a boat too, so the logistics I'm sure are trickier than most and they brought the house down! So much fun and such a great band. Our band was the thing most people raved about after the wedding at brunch the next day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
