As good as you ever imagined

Steve and his band were amazing! We sadly had to move our wedding twice due to covid. Steve was so accommodating and understanding. Then when it came to the wedding he and the band were so great. A great mix of vocals and DJing. We were able to customize the songs we wanted, Steve really cared about getting to know us and tailoring the playlist towards what we wanted. The entire wedding was on the dance floor all night. We had multiple people reach out the day after the wedding asking for Steve’s contact details. We would recommend 10/10!!
