Extraordinary, out of bounds, 1000 out of 10
I don't even know where to begin. I am a musician and singer, so safe to say I really really cared about the music at my wedding. In all honesty, I initially wanted a DJ because so many wedding bands are just mediocre. However, my husband and parents really wanted a band so I thought 'Okay, if we're doing a band, then it's going to be a GOOD band.' Not one of those bands that just plays Sweet Caroline and calls it a day, you know?
I was in between a lot of good bands, but ultimately hired Paradigm because their manager Kimmie was so dang responsive and nice. She was so easy to talk to yet professional - I just had a good feeling about Paradigm. I also loved how they had multiple singers, so there'd be variety throughout the night.
Well, Paradigm KILLLLLED IT! All-caps, exclamation points, Paradigm killed it. If I could describe their set in one word, it's ENERGY. They were doing CHOREOGRAPHY, folks - like full-on dancing. They were belting out songs, having a blast. I noticed that my guests were never facing the middle of the dance floor like usual, but they were all facing the stage, like a concert! Our dance floor was packed all night and it was seriously because people wanted to watch the band.
Last but absolutely not least, I arranged in advance to sing a song with them, and it was a huge hit. I sang "What's Up?" by 4 Non-Blondes and our guests were absolutely losing their minds at this. The Paradigm singers were singing backup for me and dancing along, it was insane. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment that I'll never forget. Thank you for making my wedding what it was, and for fulfilling my pop star fantasy!
