Professional Musicians

I am so glad I hired the Mike Davis Trio for my wedding. They are excellent musicians and so incredibly talented. But on top of all of that, they are professionals. You don't have to spell things out for them -- they know how to work a crowd, when to take appropriate breaks, and were very communicative in the planning stages. They are also so friendly and we had a few of our guests say that they took time to chat with them and loved their energy. 10/10!

Everyone Loved Our Cocktail Hour Music

In planning the music and the general vibe of the reception, my mother in law suggested we start the event off with some live music. We agreed that live music, especially a jazzy group, would go very well with the decor of the Stafford Perry. She was able to find the Mike Davis Trio, and with just a few suggestions and the venue information, they showed up, played beautifully, needed no assistance in their setup or tear down, and we got beautiful music at our cocktail hour! They even started a few minutes early when the ceremony wrapped up a little more quickly than we had said in the original quote.
