Band at a wedding I attended

Recently went to a wedding where The Sound Alternative was the band and they were SO much fun! Music can make or break an evening, and this group did not disappoint. They successfully had everyone on the dance floor and were overall so entertaining to watch! Would highly recommend this band for your event!

Fantastic!! 😃

We hired The Sound Alternative Band for BOTH of our daughters’ Weddings & we have only one word for them & it is FANTASTIC! This super talented band provided all types of music for every age group & you would not want to sit & listen… you wanted to get up & dance to every song. They will also MC by introducing the Wedding party or any ‘specials’ throughout the reception. A bonus was that they were super affordable compared to other bands with that amount of ‘pieces’. Check out their website & go hear them in person beforehand. Hiring them will be one of the best decisions you will make for your special day. 😃
