Could not have found a better band!

The Plaids were amazing at our daughter’s wedding. When we hired them, Doug immediately reached out and met with us to find out exactly what we wanted for the day. He was really interesting in creating the vibe that we wanted. The band’s interactive database allowed for easy communication about songs, announcing of the wedding party and any other relevant details. Skip ahead to the wedding day… When they struck the first chord, the dance floor was full, and it stayed that way until the last song! The variety of music they played was amazing: from AC/DC to the B-52s to Lizzo and everything in between! If you want a band to keep your guests dancing and make the day just perfect, call The Plaids. You will not be disappointed!

Get Ready to Party!

The Plaids ROCKED the house at our wedding in Winston Salem! They took our requests and ran with it and even learned our first dance song with some customizations. It was truly a party and had every one of our guests dancing. People are STILL raving about the performance to this day! We could not have imagined our wedding without them :)

Whatever word is better than Spectacular.

The Plaids made our wedding the talk of both the Triangle and Triad areas of North Carolina amongst our friends. They handled all the special requests professionally and made the request of the groom a priority for the second first dance. From that point it was party on and the whole room danced all night. They were so amazing that my wife's oldest daughter chose them for her wedding also which was a smash hit of ages ranging from 20 to 80. When the younger daughter gets married, I am expecting she will want them too.

Super Fun Band - Perfect Group!

We booked The Plaids to perform at our wedding in the Outer Banks in nearly November this year. They were AWESOME! From the beginning, Doug was so easy going and fun to talk to. We told them about bands/songs we liked, and they were able to put together an entire set list based on our tastes. They also prepared music for the dinner which was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed them so much! We had a couple of special requests, which they were totally accommodating towards. We had SO much fun because of them!!!!

We really cannot recommend them enough.... we will definitely book them in the future for parties and any other instances where we would need a band! Book these guys!

You have to hire the Plaids for your wedding!! They made our night perfect! We let them take the reigns on the playlist after giving them a little direction of how we wanted the night to go and they absolutely nailed it! They are wonderful MC's and helped the night flow and everyone was up dancing the majority of the night. Their sound is great and they keep the energy high!

STELLAR performance by The Plaids at the 2017 RiverRun International Film Festival Gala!! Cannot recommend these guys highly enough -- they are consummate professionals and put on an amazing performance. In the eyes of many (600+ guests), they helped make this year's Gala the best ever -- looking forward to next year...!
