Nine Mile Smile rocked our wedding! They were the highlight of the party and kept the dance floor packed. Our friends and family still keep raving about them. I've never seen my elderly aunts dance so hard! LOL! Many of our guests have said they wished they had a band at their wedding. It truly was perfect. We had so much fun! BEST NIGHT EVER!

Nine Mile Smile was a great addition to our wedding day! They have a wide range of music and were able to learn several new songs prior to the wedding---including a surprise song. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the band.

Nine Mile Smile was our band for our August 19th wedding at the Homestead and they were amazing! All of our guests have commented on how great they were. A few things that we really loved about them:

- they allow you to pick 4 songs for them to learn - we gave them some tough ones to learn and they did a great job!
- we had a few family members and friends that played instruments and wanted to play at our wedding, and they were very cool with allowing that. I'm pretty sure that jamming with the band was the highlight of my father-in-law's year :)
- Kurt was super responsive - he would usually reply to my emails within an hour
- they were very energetic and kept everyone on the dance floor. I even had a friend comment on how she's never seen that many people consistently dance throughout the night at a wedding

Overall great option!

These guys were awesome. They BROUGHT THE PARTY and were super easy to work with. Kurtis (the band contact) was super nice and flexible leading up to the big day. Whenever I sent an e-mail, they responded quickly and were an overall pleasure to work with.

I got so many compliments on my band. If you are going to get a live band, book these guys, NOW! :)

9MS was phenomenal for our wedding. They were accommodating from the inception, on top of their game throughout the planning process and the day of. It seemed like each guest commented on their great performance and quality sound. They also learn 4 songs for you to play. Wonderful experience, get them booked.

9Mile Smile was the perfect band for our wedding. Kurtis was always in contact and on top of all the planning aspects well ahead of the event. The band performed specific songs we requested, as well as adapted the setlist to be more aligned with the type of music we enjoy. They were the life of the party and all guests were highly praising their talents. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a live band for their event.

We absolutely loved having Nine Mile Smile perform at our wedding! Everyone had a great time and we received numerous compliments on how great the music and band were. Also, my husband, who is not a dancer, was on the dance floor with me almost all night. I was shocked! We had a wonderful time! Additionally, Kurtis is a breeze to work with. Super responsive and very helpful! Overall, if you like live music and having a great time dancing the night away you won't be disappointed!

Hiring Nine Mile Smile was one of the best decisions I made when planning our wedding. They made sure everything was taken care of and ran smoothly, and were complete professionals with their equipment set-up & sound. They do a great job at playing a variety of music, appealing to the wide range of tastes that come with a large event like a wedding. Our guests are STILL talking about how great the band was! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

The one thing I really wanted to have at our wedding was a live band and Nine Mile Smile did not disappoint. They were amazing and had everyone dancing until the very last minute. Kurtis was so easy to work with from the very beginning. He answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend them.
